2018 NFL thread

Does anyone else have a faint electrical buzz coming out with the sound of the game tonight? It is driving me crazy. I couldn't figure out what it was at first. Then I noticed it was coming from the TV speaker so I turned on my receiver and surround sound but I can still hear the buzz. It doesn't happen on any other channel or during commercials so it must be the broadcast. Can others here it as well?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Yup. Bad enough I turned. Irritating.

It's also a Thursday night game. I don't put too much stock into them.

A bit of a surprising result. Really poor clock management by Baltimore at the end of the game. Mind you spotting the Bengal's 21 points screws you too.

Thursday night games at this time of year are a cap shoot.

But maybe the Bengal's will be in the playoff mix this year. If Daulton can stay away from the turnovers they will be right in it.

I expect that all four teams will be in the hunt for the division title and playoff spot right to week 17. Those final week games (Pit/Cin, Bal/Cle) will set the playoff roster.

I've noticed with Shaw that my TSN audio feed is inconsistent in that during CFL and US Open tennis I get pops in my surround sound speakers at times. Only happens on TSN.

Seahawks are signing Mychal Kendricks.

So you can get charged for insider trading and still get a contract, no problem. As long as you don't kneel, right? I mean, Kendricks getting a contract while guys like Eric Reid are still unemployed is just crazy.

The insanity around the kneeling is out of control. The Falcons just lost Keanu Neal for the season (ouch) so naturally I assume they’ll sign Eric Reid. Of course not, instead we get... Keith Tandy. Alrighty then.

Dez coming in?

Hopefully he's not back on the weed.

[cam_wmh]

Billy, bring him to Boston.

[d_phaneuf]

Everyone saying pats

But a team like dallas probably throws a brinks truck at him, they badly need receiver help

Id love to see him go to green bay, think what rodgers could do with a talent like that

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gordon is probably one suspension away from a lifetime ban, and you can't imagine the Browns straight releasing him without that suspension possibly in play soon. So I cannot imagine anyone is offering anything other than the league minimum, or one of the most incentive heavy contracts we've ever seen. Jerry definitely has no soul so he could do it, but he's like Trump, so signing Josh Gordon is admitting he was wrong about Dez Bryant, and I'm not sure his pride can allow that. Seahawks actually make a lot of sense given Pete will look the other way on a lot of things for talent.

From what I'm hearing it's appearing more likely that Gabbert will start for the Titans. Mariota has a nerve injury in his throwing elbow and still has no feeling in his fingers. He may try to play through it but I don't know how effective he will be

[Hockey]

Titans also starting an O-lineman they just signed off the practice roster. Sit Mariota and don't risk further injury. Although Clowney out now, the Texans D will still be able to get to the QB.

Ya totally agree, no Lewan, Conklin or Kelly it's not worth the risk. 14 games still to go

[Sylvanfan]

At this point I don't think anyone will get Gordon on track. The Patriots are more of a team to give a second chance to a player who's maybe been beat down by losing like Core Dillon or Randy Moss. Blount had some issues but nothing compared to Josh Gordon.

[DropIt]

Quick start for desean vs his old team

[GirlySports]

Packers don't need Rodgers :P


Blocked punt recovered for a TD.

[Sainters7]

Payton is going to get Kamara killed, you don't need to give it to him every play!! I can't wait into Ingram's suspension is over

[Sylvanfan]

Given his tendency to light up the Chiefs I think Belk sitting this one out might help his stock.
Mahomes with 3 TD passes in the first quarter.
