2018 NFL thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

So Rams-Chiefs in Mexico City might actually be the first Big 12 game played in the NFL. Could be a 62-59 game.

Rams look unstoppable....remind me of the Warner/Faulk/Holt/Bruce days.

So dangerous.

Vikings are just awful on the defensive side of the ball so far this year

[Senator Clay Davis]

Vikings defense had their soul taken from them by Nick Foles first, then by Josh Allen last week. They're dead inside.

I think the Everson Griffen thing has hurt them as well. Not just his absence on the field but the emotional shock of it as well.

I think it's more that he's been clinically outcoached by two of the better offensive minds in the league.

It's pretty shocking to see how many times the Rams have gotten WRs matched up on LBs.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Usually it's the Vikings missing those.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Great game.

Goff looks fantastic, just needed to get out of Jeff Fischer's awful system. Rams and Chiefs are fantastic teams to watch, wouldn't have thought that a few years ago.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If not for one of those Clay Matthews "penalties", the Vikings would be 1-3 and probably the biggest disappointment in the league. Good news for them is their division is pretty weak so they should still be ok.

[Erick Estrada]

It's not like the Rams defense was anything special in that game. It appears at least to open the season that offenses have a leg up on defenses. Plenty of highly thought of defenses have given up a lot of yards.

Goffs numbers are great, but honestly, they are at a point where EVERYTHING works for him. That second Kupp TD was a throw that you can never ever make, period. Out of the pocket, throw on the run, into double coverage ... that's a shot that someone like Jameis Winston would take, and obviously everybody would slag him for the inevitable interception, rightfully so. But Kupp somehow comes up with it and now all of the sudden it's amazing? No. Goff could have easily finished that game with 2 TDs and 3 INTs, but somehow he comes up with a 5 TD performance. Lucky. Momentum is fully on their side and everything seems to work, but that could easily change at some point.

Cousins had a few of those, too, and it really should concern Vikings fans that they gave $84M to a guy who after five seasons as a starter still makes bone headed throws, can't feel backside pressure, doesn't step up in the pocket, and is turnover prone.

highest QB picked in the 2016 draft had 4 TDs in the first half on Thursday
highest QB picked in the 2017 draft has 4 TDs in the first half today

no pressure, Baker.

Looking very much like the Chiefs will be the last undefeated team... and that may not last past next Sunday as they play in Denver (probably will win but who knows) and then get Jaguars (could go either way). Can't remember the last time it was like that this early?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Rams are still undefeated. Also the Bucs might have the worst defense of all-time.

Did the Cowboys get new pants this year? I thought they wore silver pants but next to the grey of Detroit their pants look green. Unless it is just something messed up with Fox's cameras.

[devo22]

that's a nasty ankle injury for Tyler Eifert. Feel sorry for him, he's only just recovered from another longterm injury too.
