The NFL thread

[BananaHammock]

Watching espn I heard someone threw a "hail mary" and was thinking how this term has become as popular in football as the draw play.I remember in the 1975 playoffs when Captain America the great Roger Stabauch first coined this phrase in football.He threw a 50 some odd yd. touchdown on the last play of the game against Minn. to put the Boys in the Super Bowl and after the game a reporter asked him what he was thinking.Roger being a strong Catholic said "I just said a Hail Mary and threw it as far as I could." Imagine if Roger had been Jewish....would it to this day be called throwing an " Oi vey"

If I was a SJW Jew, I'd be offended. As a half redneck and half heeb, I say lol

Steelers found the run game, Ben played well, and the Defense looked sharped. Good W for the home opener over the Vikings
Pats roll. and Tom Brady looked unstoppable. 400+ yards. I hope he was on your fantasy team this week. Pats roll the Saints
After jacksonville played so well last week, they got crushed by Tennessee
KC and Philly went down to the wire. Both teams looked good, but KC and their experience edged out Philly in the end. Smith looked composed all game.
Arizona and Indy in the OT Thriller. Both teams did not run the ball well and had to put the game on their QB's shoulders. Palmer threw for 330 yards
Browns struggled (go figure?) Kizer with 3 picks and he was taken out. Baltimore was too much for them, and the browns are 0-2 in the AFC north.
Carolina and Buffalo with a low scoring game. Buffalo barley had 200 yards of offense the entire game as Carolina D looked solid.
Chicago and their turnovers did not help vs TB. Winston and the offense looked good, but they were in control the entire game and up front.
jets just look bad.. I mean BAD. Oakland is putting a hurting on them. I don't know who is worse them are the browns.
Cutler & Rivers both looked good, but the Dolphins find a way to Win in LA. That running game from Miami is no joke!
SF Ran the ball very well over Seattle, but Russell and the Seahawks got the W with a very late score to seal the game.
Denver is just shutting down Dallas.. Zeke has 0 yards so far in the 3rd quarter on 5 rushes. Siemian has 4 TD's and the Denver defense looks in its prime from the SB a few years ago.


Detroit vs NY for Monday night ( 28-17 NY my guess)
GB Vs ATL Sunday Night game (35-24 ATL my guess)

Dan Bailey hit a 56 yd. field goal for the Cowboys that looked like an extra point.That was pretty much the highlight of the day for them so that tells you how god awful their day was.

[The Solution]

Zeke with 8 yards on 9 carriers. His all time lowest.
They could get NOTHING going against that defense. That was the best Denver has looked since their SB run. Boys will bounce back.

Oh come on Bob that was funny.
Zeke appologized for his lack of effort after an interception in the Bronco game.Said it will nevet happen again.

[The Solution]

Zeke had a bad game, but it was not his effort what lost you the game.
Defense can't give up 40+ points and expect to win.

Yeah I know that but after the first interception Zeke was a few yards from the guy and instead of giving chase he juststood and watched.You know how "COWBOY FANS" are.That's all anyone could talk about. I'm afraid the defense we put up Sunday is more of a true indicater of what we have than what we showed against NY
