ASH1962 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Between the rain delay, the disgusting National Anthem that nobody could hear sung by Girls to Boys or whoever the ***k they are, that dope Collinsd*ck saying RPO every 5 seconds, I fell asleep by the end of the first half. We were re acquainted with regular season NFL football - stoppage after stoppage, flag after flag, delay after delay, FG bonanza, and just plain boring crummy football. I hope the rest of the season gets better because IMHO, it could not get any worse than that sludge fest last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 All true, but we did have a Philly Special. One glorious moment of schoolyard football amidst the sea of uninspiring play. For a while there it looked like neither team really wanted to score or play defense. How many second chances did Philly's D give the Falcons and yet the Falcons still couldn't score. Matt Ryan looked very pedestrian. Thank god I didn't draft him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will watch the Jets if they are interesting, but I won't watch one other minute of NFL football outside of the Jets. Only way to change things are if enough people start tuning out. I used to watch every minute of every NFL game I could, Monday, Thursday, 1 and 4 Sunday, Sunday night, everything. Those days are long gone for me.

UntouchableCrew Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Agreed, the game was atrocious, went to bed at the start of the 4th quarter. Sloppy, ugly game with a gazillion penalties. Borderline unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a huge part of the issue. Starters get so few game reps in the preseason that they are not ready to go. Takes a couple of weeks to work the rust out.

Adoni Beast Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It was brutal, and the trend of an inferior product continues for the NFL. With mini/training camps being constrated by the CBA years ago, the pre season is now designed for guys to avoid injury. This has resulted in the first of the regular season being like a pre season; a time for guys to get in shape, rhythm, and work off the rust.

kdels62 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Boyz II Men, a legendary R&B group, deserves more than your insolence. That national anthem was spectacular. The game sucked but seriously it’s BOYZ II MEN, show some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I worry that the Jets will finally become a great team but it’ll be in an NFL that sucks and it won’t be as impactful/meaningful. It sucks. I hope there are still a lot of good games this year but it’s getting bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The game was atrocious for 3 quarters but the 4th was well worth it. Great final quarter IMO. It was like both teams were playing a Preseason Game #5 to start the game and finally woke up after Halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freemanm Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Amazingly, I fell asleep before my six year old son did. The question I have is, is Nick Foles just a one-season wonder (i.e. Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
