All the Other Games Thread

What CGVT said was correct, the Rams were able to ground it out at the end and that rarely happened with the Lions. I think the most important part was the Rams kind of bogged down in the middle of the game and Fraquar came in here chirping about it. The Rams never felt in danger of losing the game even when their drives were stalling. With the Lions when Stafford had a few of those drives where they settled for field goals you knew it would come back to hurt them. Most of the time they had to keep on scoring with the lead or they would give up the game.

If you ever listen to the robotic MNF robotic halftime interviews with Jim Gray and Tom Brady, one of TB's favorite sayings is an offensive drive is successful if it ends with kick a PAT, FG or a pint.

Yes, while the offense was sort of stalling when they had a 2+ score lead, the defense didn't give up 21 points in 8 minutes or anything. Makes life a lot easier. Stafford's going to face adversity this year, that division looks to be no joke. But he's got to like what he saw in game 1.

Watching the Browns KC game and stupid #33 for the Browns shoved a KC coach on the sideline and got tossed from the game. Fine coming?

That coach needs to be fined too. He started the shoving first. That of course doesn't ok the same from the player though.

Montgomery looked really good. I thought he looked slimmer and faster. They need to just go with Fields next week. Chi can be a playoff team if they don't allow Dalton to bury them.

Ok anybody watching that long play that almost ended the MNF game ... is it just me, or was that a near carbon-copy of the Okudah-Deebo long TD ... I guess only difference is the DB looked back at the ball

[Cody_Russell]

Insane game. Could end up in the top 5 for best NFL regular season games of the 2021 season.

[Forsh]

Yeah it was crazy

[The King]

BAL needs Bateman healthy. He’s the physical WR they need. Anytime I watch Andrews I see a JAG. I will never understand the hype with that guy.

The biggest loss for BAL is Peters. He’s such an elite playmaker and can’t be replaced.

[The King]

I assume BAL throws a pick to land Ingram. Makes way too much sense for both teams.

I thought about that too and the announcers were even saying there wasn't much the CB could do. Here they crucify the guy for that. I didn't because it was so random. Going forward, I'm sure future teams will be sitting on that. But they hadn't did that in any pre-season game. So it was sort of a trick play that they got away with. IF we had a real NFL Safety he makes a play on that. Probably a pick.

Knowing Chucky, he probably saw that and installed it that day.

[Futureshock]

Watching that play again. WTF??? Harris has less range then a weak FM station. He's slow and have little to no instincts. What were they doing there? Were both safeties covering Kittle?

And oh yeah, he gets juked (Deebo didn't have to do much) for the TD. Of course he is too slow to actually close on anyone that has a step on him.

[Futureshock]

Did anyone see this play? The dummy had a ball just sitting on top of the other player. All he had to do was grab it. But, no. Celebration time! Dummy...


Marlon Humphrey had an interception last night, but he didn’t realize it

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey could have had an interception on Monday night. He should have had an interception on Monday night.

The play happened with 25 seconds left in the first quarter. The Raiders had the ball, third and 10 from their own 28. Quarterback Derek Carr threw a pass to tight end Darren Waller. The ball arrived at the 40. Humphrey prevented the reception.

He didn’t realize he had an interception in his hands.

Look at the two angles of the play. The ball never struck the ground. Humphrey got up, bringing the ball with him. Although Raiders receiver Hunter Renfrow made a head’s-up move to cover the ball after it fell to the ground as if Humphrey had caught the ball and fumbled it, Humphrey didn’t have the ball in his hands long enough to amount to possession.

He could have. He should have. It would have given Baltimore, who led 7-0 at the time, a short field. Instead, the Raiders punted, the Ravens started the next drive from their own 20, and they punted after three plays.

Sure, the Ravens eventually went up 14-0 anyway before the Raiders came to life. A turnover in that spot followed by a score could have changed everything. Could have. Should have. Didn’t, because Humphrey didn’t realize he had the ball in his hands.

I miss being able to find the games on YouTube. Lately the NFL been good at scrubbing them off YouTube.

[Niffla]

It was hard for me to watch him.

Yeah it was very weird to say the least watching him in another uniform.

You guys have to be diehard longtime Rams fans like me.
