Rhom Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Oh sweet Jesus… I just checked to see who was playing tonight before I ate dinner. Almost lost my appetite. Talk about a toilet bowl.

Rhom Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Also, I saw something in the wild I never expected today… Mid twenties guy walks into my office today. He’s wearing a Giants hat. I ask how he came to like the Giants ”I’m a Manning fan…” ”Wait… Eli Manning?!!?” Tywin et al. and Ferrum Aeternum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these teams suck and I wasn't drafting Bears or Commanders in fantasy because I'm not stupid. Why should anyone be expected to watch this shit? I was a true believer of Fields and took him in a few leagues to be my QB3. Problem is two of the three QB2s are either out for the year or a disaster. Unrelated, I wonder what it would have cost to bet any points unders in this game to win $100. Sacrificing your first born child may not have been enough.

Rhom Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 So does everyone have problems with picture quality in these broadcasts? I have no problem watching movies/shows on Prime. But there is real signal decay on this game. Secretary of Eumenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafuq? Small sample, but Flacco has better numbers so far and I've never watched Wilson and though he was special. I'm not even sure if he was projected to be drafted in the NFL prior to his senior year playing on easy mode. Lawrence is still clearly the most likely to become a great player. I know the last few weeks haven't been great, but I still view this as his rookie year considering everything that happened under Urban. I also think Lance still has a chance to be really good, but the injury combined with essentially playing four games over the last three seasons is concerning. Shit, I still think Fields could turn out to be good...if he gets away from the Bears. He should legit demand a trade next offseason if the team looks this bad all year. Mac isn't good and will never be good. But then again I was never a big fan of his pro chances. I would have been tempted to take Trask over him if they were both sitting their in the second round.

Jaxom 1974 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Wait. There's still football on Thursday nights? And Chicago is playing tonight? Oh it's on Amazon Prime and no where else? That feels like some MLB level broadcasting bullshit right there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 That stat earlier this game that the Bears have the fewest attempts at this point of the season since the 82 Patriots was eye popping. We had multiple Tebow seasons in there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Based on his tone, I hope Al Michaels has a "I'm too old for this shit" clause in his contract that allows him to leave at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantw Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 So far my favorite part of Thursday Night Football has been the announcers having to shill Rings of Power with obvious contempt. Tywin et al. and Ferrum Aeternum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 A young QB with all the potential in the world, but needs serious grooming and help. No offensive line. Bad skill players. First time HC who has only coached defenses. What could possibli go wrong? KingintheNorth4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite was the Yankee game on Tuesday where they had a CGI dragon "fly" over Yankee Stadium to pimp HotD and Bob Costas in all his grand pomposity felt the need to reference Orson Welles' War of the World's broadcast to assure viewers there wasn't actually a dragon flying over Yankee Stadium.

Maithanet Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Didn't watch the whole game but to say that the rest of the Bears weren't doing Fields any favors is an understatement. Dropped passes, poor protection, and little separation. The best thing that offense had going was Fields scrambling, he is electric on the move. But you can't build your offense off that, and the Bears receivers are really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
