Saturday Football Extravaganza: HOU/NYJ & CLE/DEN

[MMXcalibur]

The Texans are pretty good.
The Browns aren't a complete train wreck.
The Donkeys can eat my ass.
The Jets are the Jets.

Enjoy.

(Both games are on NFL Network.)

And there's the massive leverage defensive holding call on stuff that happens every single play.

[mlyonsd]

Suck it denver fans. How do those defensive holding calls feel?

[suzzer99]

I want Denver to stay in it so they play SD tough the last week.

[JakeF]

Mayfield is not playing well.

LA Teams are bullshit

Wtf? Keenum was in the air and crossed the goal line. The replay they showed after coming back from the Driskel play looked like the LB touched Driskels helmet as he was going down and his knee hit and the ball was short.

Even if he wasn't touched it is the new rule. helps avoid fumbles, but hurts on line of gain plays:https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules...s-of-emphasis/
If a runner (including a quarterback) gives himself up, then he is down where the first body part touches the ground. The runner should not benefit from additional yardage after the first body part touches.”

“It’s a big change this year,” line judge Rusty Baynes told ESPN. “Because if you were a runner or a quarterback and you dove head first you could, if you were untouched, get all of that slide. If you went head first. Now, you cannot. It’ll be interesting to see what happens at the goal line.”

Interesting indeed: Imagine it’s fourth-and-goal in the final seconds of the game, a quarterback whose team trails by five points drops back to pass, then sees an opening in the middle of the field, runs toward the end zone, and just as a linebacker approaches at the 1-yard line the quarterback dives head-first into the end zone. That won’t be a game-winning touchdown anymore. It will be the quarterback giving himself up at the 1-yard line. The first time that happens, there’s going to be outrage from players, coaches and fans of the losing team.

So reading some of this thread on OPI DPI, receivers are allowed to get away with a lot more than D players, that's just how they want it called.

DeAndre Hopkins whole game is predicated on manhandling CBs.

[KChiefs1]

I’m not sure who to root for tonight.

I’d like Denver to have motivation for the Chargers game.

Stupid move by the Brown. He already had the penalty in his favor due to the bonehead Bronco, and he didn't walk away.

[Al Bundy]

Mayfield looks really, and I mean REALLY bad tonight.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Crap, I got MU'd at Patriotsplanet for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. All I did was let them know they've dropped to #3 seed.

Case Keenum: HMB

[JakeF]

That last sack by Miller was as much a scheme sack as anything. Something that Sutton doesn't do enough.

[RealSNR]

Remember when Knowmo tried to talk up his new QB?
