NFL Thread: Thoughts on the game south of the 49th

[Carl Yagro]

Good game.

Panthers just scored late in the 4th, up 31-27.

That would be a different type of cat Hank.

[Carl Yagro]

Whoops! I spotted my mistake...

[Topper]

Old Man Rivers

Aura Farming

now I have to dig out my ol' man's Paul Robson records that filled the house when i was a kid.

[Carl Yagro]

What a finish. Rams come back to win.

[donlever]

Another solid game.

[Meds]

Da Bears.

Thought for sure they were gonna lose that with 5 to go.

[Carl Yagro]

That would be a different type of cat Hank.

Different type of cat down 10-7 vs Jim Kelly's heroes at the half.

[donlever]

Yeah....surprised Little missed that FG in such benign conditions.

Could be a good second half.

See what's up with Allen's hand....

[donlever]

3 solid, entertaining games.

Niners Eagles up next.

American football.

levers favourite sport...

That was a back n forth nail-biter of a game, the NFL at its best.

Haven't followed the league for years now because of the opposite... the 6-3 FG games with like 5 minutes TV time between huddles. The NFL at its worst.

Happy for young Lawrence. Overhyped out of college, then harshly labelled a bust. Finally a dominant season for him and the Jags?

Have been rooting for Allen and the Bills for the last few years though. Another guy that was unfairly criticized, even by his peers.

Let's go Buffalo. Do it for Jim.

Game is a lot faster and offense orientated these days Hank.

At times to the detriment of physicality.

You can see all sorts of video of old school hits on socialz.

Guys would go to prison for that shit these days.

[Carl Yagro]

No, I get it. I'm just telling you why I lost interest in football in general.

It used to be my favorite sport for awhile too, as a kid. Yes, more than even hockey. Games on TV were much more accessible even for us Canucks and I used to spend the entire Sunday watching games and highlights.

Similar but different reasons for why I lost interest in hockey too (blasphemy!)... for the most part and not solely because this franchise and ownership has sucked the life out of its fans.

Definitely not saying old school is the best school. Glad that most sports have evolved from those dark days where anything goes.

...an entire Sunday is what I'll be doing today.

Got the TV going by the gym here right now so I don't lose a workout.
