Smuts' NFL Thread

[Izzy]

Slightly off topic but just watched the Netflix untold series on the 06-09 Florida Gators - Swamp Kings (Tim Tebow and all that)

 

I find the whole College football scene slightly unhinging. The pressure that 19 year old kids are under to play in front of 100,000 people is just mad.

I've always felt the same about high-school games drawing like 50k fans in Texas.

Americans are weird

Nick Chubb’s knee injury 

[Out Foxed]

chubb is my favourite other team player. only jersey i'd wear from an opposing team. 

 

sucks. all these injuries are ****ing depressing. 

[Bert]

So many bad injuries!

[purpleronnie]

Its definately the main reason that participation has dropped and increased in other sports like soccer, how many parents would want their children to play it?  If current trends continue, then soccer participation will be higher than baseball, basketball and american football pretty soon.

Horrible. You can't even imagine a leg bending like that.

Just the same small knee injury from 8 years ago…no biggie 

 

Ouch

So gutted about what has happened to Undisputed. It used to be a fun watch but now with Michael Irvin and Skip Bayless, it's just unbearable and thays coming from a Cowboys fan.

I think targeting the head or the knees, whether either blocking or tackling, needs to be outlawed from the game. Players doing it need to be heavily fined and given multiple game suspensions. The 'tackle' where a defender holds onto a runner and drops his full body weight onto the back of the runner's legs/ankle - like we saw with Saquon last week and with Tony Pollard in the playoffs last season - also needs to be outlawed. Over the last couple of decades there's been a noticeable decline in the art and technique of tackling in the NFL and something needs to be done to help correct it.

Got to be done you would imagine as a running back, sad if so. That knee must be fvcked, just can’t see him getting the power in his leg anywhere close to what he had.

I’ve got two tickets going spare for the Jags Falcons game at Wembley on Sunday 1st October. Half way line (seat numbers 4 and 5). DM me if you are interested. Face value.

Still available should anyone be interested.

Loving the niners this year

 

 

As a Leicester fan I always love the underdog and the Brock Purdy story is just my cup of tea. 

[CheeseHead]

Packers were 17-0 down at start of the 4th quarter. Now leading 18-17 with 2:53 left

Wonder if Sean Payton is regretting going back into coaching with the Broncos?

First time since 1966 that a team has scored 70 points in a game.

[when_you're_smiling]

Imagine being a Sheff United and Denver Broncos fan tonight. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Dolphins also set a new NFL record for offensive yards in a game with 726, beating the previous record of 722 yards set in 1951 by the Rams.

[StanSP]

Vikings bottled the chance at the end, throwing an interception as they approached the end zone. 

[Guesty]

Thought when Sean Payton publicly embarrassed Hackett in pre-season it was unnecessary and uncalled for. Now it just looks plain stupid.   

 

As a Seahawks fan I also wonder if Russell Wilson regrets trying to get Pete Carroll sacked now...

[sharpylcfc]

Watching Quarterback on Netflix after @Izzy recommended it. Loving it so far. 

[spacemunky]

So the biggest story from the NFL this weekend was Taylor Swift?
