Sunday Gamethead 2023 NFL Week 2

You just knew the Cards were going to literally hand this game over like some insistent beggar that won't take no for an answer.

Henry with the touchdown in Nashville. Suck it Chargers.

I hope the Tits win. As a Dolphins fan, I love that Tannehill had some success with y'all, but he's looking cooked so far this year outside of that long pass to Burks
Herbert is such an annoying little shit. He's the embodiment of the 3rd place podium meme.

Could there be subcomments automatically added to this thread for each game that we can reply to instead of the root thread? I.e. "Packers vs Falcons @ 1pm ET", etc?

I feel like this thread is quickly going to become a mess without proper context.

Last week everyone was up in arms about the separate threads because we didn't have many people in here. This week I bet it's the exact opposite and we get too many in one thread. Mods can't win 😄
- I understand the reasoning to switch to a single thread, the problem is that unless commenters explicitly provide context for each comment they make, no one is going to know which game they're reacting to.
- 1 hour into games, and there's 6? comments in here. It's dead Jim.
- I, for one, would rather have a game thread that has one comment rather than a Sunday thread I have to sift through to find it. But I'm just happy to have a place for discussion.

He didn't have the first down. But I thought it was close enough they wouldn't reverse it.

They should’ve let it stand because it was so goddamn cool

D. Adams really regretting his decision to go to LV right now.

but but but he went from one HoF QB to another one!
- I know you're being sarcastic. But I don't even understand the point of your comment. Like, who are you making fun of? Nobody said he was going to play for a HOF QB.
Something something surprised pikachu

Every time Fields shows up on Red Zone, he looks absolutely terrible. Are there any signs of life from the Bears offense?

Definitely not now, that was one of the most hilarious looking pick 6's I've ever seen
- Same, that was great. Looks like the Factory of Sadness has relocated to Chicago

6 TDs and 0 INT on the season so far for JLove. Looking like the real deal

I hope the Packers make it to the playoffs this year. It would be nice for the Niners to get an extra bye week.
- Just let us have this 😂
So what you're saying is the Packers have a Hall of Fame starter for the next twenty years?
I am ready to overreact!

About fucking time they call Sauce for DPI. Every single highlight of his last year was blatant DPI

Right. It's coming up my bedtime (UK fan problems) and I'm sick so can't stay up late. Cheers for the company tonight folks, been fun, keep it up and we'll have these threads popping off by the end of the season 😎

Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for pointing this community out to me, glad to have a space to talk shit on Lemmy!
Cheers from across the pond, hope you feel better soon

Imagine having to call a timeout at home on offense because it's too loud. Rams vs 49ers things.

That first quarter delay of game to put the Packers out of field goal range really came back to bite them in the ass

The missed Walker pick six is gonna haunt his dreams

Wow, Jimmy G sucks, Niners would have at least one SB win if they didn't get hung up on him.

He's basically Kirk Cousins, but worse and better looking
- I'd say Cousins is a decently average QB that peaks top 10 sometimes. Jimmy is a below average QB that was heavily boosted to peak ever so slightly above average by an insane run game, offensive scheme, insane YAC options, and a top 5 defense to keep him in games. Jimmy is also a turnover machine and gets hurt if you so much as look at him sideways. Honestly, if Niners went any other way at QB 6 years ago they have 1 SB win if not 2... they should have moved on from him after his ACL and never looked back.
Clearly they were entranced by his beauty

Someone who's watching it, what is actually going on with Burrow? Is it him, or the team in general?

Got paid and got bad I guess

Lets go Tits!

Probably should have been PI on Washington there, but I get a good laugh any time I see the ol Russell Wilson goal line pass

Lol get fucked Burrow

Playing the husband in fantasy. He's got Burrow. Love is on his bench.

I am the embodiment of the Vince McMahon reaction meme.
- lmao that's awesome. My wife has just started to get interested in football this season, I might be able to convince her to try fantasy in a few years

2pt conversion in LAC v Ten was sweet. Tackle eligible plays are cool.

love seeing a big man TD

Swear every player I had to drop in fantasy last week is popping off for someone else tonight. FML

Seems to always work out that way. Whenever I pick up someone that goes off, the rest of my team shits their pants

Packers offense is cooking. Rough start but it's heating up now

Didn't want to jinx it but since you've done it now, if we win this one I will invest in a Love jersey

This MIA-NE game has been a lot of fun. They gotta give the first down to the big man, c'mon

edit: well, damn. gg, tho

Goddamn, 1.28s to pass. Insane

The catch on that lateral was great!

Half of one of my fantasy leagues are Ravens fans I love talking shit whenever they fuck something. I also have a running bit that Jason Sanders is better than Justin Tucker from his great run a few years ago. Clearly that's not true, but I always take the rare opportunity to clown Tucker missing a field goal

Respect it, honestly
- "Joe "Elite Dragon" Flacco is a better QB than Jackson" also makes an appearance about once a week

Come on Mixon, get me a TD so I can feel better about starting you, Chubb, and Jacobs over flexing Mike Evans over one of you

They got the dub! 2-0 on the road, great way to start. Phins up!

Broncos looking distinctly un-Broncos thus far

But that hailmary catch was spectacular, ngl.

how was that not DPI in the Lions game?

Jordan Love looks really good so far this year. Granted, it was the Bears and the Falcons, but still

Less of your disclaimers!
- lol ok. Jordan Love is a guaranteed first ballot hall of famer!

Puka Nacua looks like he might be the real deal. Getting peppered with targets and performing real well as a possession receiver. It'll be interesting to see what happens once Kupp comes back, but I doubt he fades away entirely.

I wish I'd started him and Williams in one league. Started Williams in my other league at the last second when Jones was ruled out, but I have 50+pts on my bench because I sat Williams, Nacua, and Evans

Niners defense looks lost today. Stafford and McVay slicing them up. :(

Still got the W. They seem to have finally found their QB pressure blitzing late in the game
- Yeah, they seemed to figure it out sometime in the 3rd quarter thankfully.

Dolphins' offensive execution is something to behold.

Definitely get the feeling the Packers D is gonna be the only thing that keeps us in this, but it won't be enough.

So far it's been questionable.

Kelce scoring for my fantasy team, whoever tf that just was scoring for my Packers.

Ahhhhhh. Yes please.

LV v Buf Technically a sack on Grap. on the line of scrimage.

Geno is regressing to the mean in Sea v Det.

I'm here for it lol. As much as I hate the Seahawks I do feel for their injury luck.
Regressing? Shiiiit he looks fucking great.

AJ Richardson out with a concussion!?

Banged his head pretty hard on that TD

Holy fucking ref ball on that pats drive

That's a pick if Apple had hands

Pats challenging the phins to run the ball and Miami is answering the bell so far

Love to see it. McDaniel abandons the run early a lot of games, even when it's working. With our passing attack, I can't blame him, but our running game ain't too shabby

hmm, trying to gamethread on lemmy for the first time. is there a good live option people have found?

This seems like a solid option so far

The problem with having to watch your actual team play instead of RedZone is that nothing can ever match up to the hype of the Octobox.

when I'm not watching on the TV, I'll put Red Zone on one monitor and the Dolphins on my main screen
- I've done this before but it feels disrespectful 😅

I said the Broncos would go 0-17 this season and today just proves that I am right. Worst team in the NFL.

Wow, the Giants are showing signs of life

I'm getting too old for all these almost-interceptions. My heart!

Is the Giants' OL literally just turnstiles? Sack against 3 rushers from the fucking Cardinals??

Damn, that flip was clean from Vaughn

Fields just isn't that good

Tannehill is a better rushing QB than Justin Fields, CMV

Lmao Giants are so fucking bad. How do you let Joshua Dobbs score a rushing TD

My fantasy strat of "whichever defence plays the Cardinals" is not paying off.
- yeeeeah, I thought about doing that, but had too much doubt about the Giants' defense

Damn I love MCDC. Glad he got a chance with the Lions and they stuck by him to get them where they are now

So curious to see how this all works out for the Jets. I can't help but have an affection for them now they're basically half ex-Packers.

While I don't exactly share your affection for the Jets, it will definitely be interesting to see how they work around the lack of Rodgers
- It's partially because the husband is a Dolphins fan and I was really looking forward to watching "the Packers" beat him down more than once every four years 😄
Nah, fuck the Jets

Whaaaat?! As much as I hate to say it, that should've been a Falcons TD

100%. He's in
- Hate to see it, let us win fair and square!

Apple is trash

What is the Chat button? Autorefresh?

Rib Injury for DK Metcalf in SeavDet. Questionable to return .

He's back in now
- After paying those fines.

Damn, Ridder made a nice pass. Didn't know that was possible

Mack Hollins is a good dude

Loved him when he was with the phins, always hope he does well
- Same, wish we'd kept him over Preston Williams

So Burrow is cooked I guess

Oh well. Onwards and upwards. TO REDZONE!

Seinfeld soup Nazi moment on the broadcast, love it

Love to see Fangio dial up the blitz. It's not his typical style, but damn it, it's what our defense is good at lol

I hope they keep getting to McCorkle

AVG looking good. I doubt McDaniel wins that challenge tho, looked incomplete to me, not a fumble

How was that not DPI?

Idk but I better not see any ticky tack flags on Howard like last week if they're gonna let that kinda stuff fly
- Exactly
- Well, there it is

Gesicki was 100% addition by subtraction. Smythe looks great

Man I love McDaniel, his play calling is so good

He's also the legit coolest looking dude in the league and his self deprecation is second to none

Jevon Holland is my favorite draft pick in the last few years behind Tua, Wilkins, and Waddle

He's for sure one of my favorites, honestly probably my favorite defensive player
- From an ability perspective, arguably the best defensive player on our roster. Wilkins is my favorite personality wise

Great game. Wish the refs would’ve called it more consistently but a great game regardless. Fins up!

Hopefully, Joe brings some smoke after the end of that first half. The Packer D looked lost.

Read this comment, immediately saw Walker catch what should've been an int. Man, my heart soared for a second there! 😭

Even though the Raiders lost, we're still first in our division. So I can't be too upset.

Raiders Goal line stand. Buffalo still isn't looking good.

Challenge in TenvLac No way is that going to go Chargers' way.

Is it too early for Arizona fans to start warming up their Dennis Green impressions?

"I will, that's where I live" is the best commercial line so far this year

Allen is such a cry baby removed

Dirty fucking Pats, what the fuck else is new
