2017 Week One NFL Thread

[Scot]

I saw something similar pop up on my local FB feed. But it had comments from Rams fans that were at the game that call bill shit on the photo

I have a couple friends that were at the game themselves. I'll get their take on the attendance.

Plus I'm sure the attendance will co up after the ass kicking they gave the Colts

Los Angeles fans are all about "what have you done for me lately"

brilliant to move not one but 2 teams there in the same year, good to see its paying off

 

[TheZoneSucks]

The Cowboys are the only team that can reliably put butts in the seats in Los Angeles.

 

[yimyammer]

He only carried the ball a few times all preseason. He got a ton of hits tonight from a good defense designed to stop him, and still had a good game.

He got a ton of tough yards.

I get that but having him in as a threat when they plan to pass has got to put more stress on the D than putting Morris in there and I 'm specifically referring to the end of the game drives when I think he should be in good enough shape to never leave the field

Jesus man. He got 29 touches tonight and he took some serious hits. Give the dude a damn break.

Shit you'd think we lost the game or something reading some of the garbage at CZ.

Two separate threads talking about how bad Prescott sux.

Plus, due to the CBA very few players are in shape week one - they have to "play into shape." That's not just us, it's every team.

Zeke gutted it out tonight again as you said, against a pretty damn good defense keyed to stop him while taking Dez away.

He doesn't suck, they just made it difficult for him and he had some bad throws which can easily be dismissed as rust.

Dak was shaky at times but most under rate that Giant defense. I am not particularly worried about Dak, the coaching on the other hand.........

I've noticed that as well. It's like a polarity shift has occurred. I'd expect big homerism after snapping a three game losing streak to a hated rival in pretty convincing fashion. I think this was a bigger ass kicking than the score indicates. Manningface was ineffective, and they never even found the end zone.

Yep just give us one TD where we kicked a FG instead, and the score looks a lot worse.

We kept a NFL playoffs offense out of the end zone. That's no small task.

The Giants have a good defense.

Prescott's two worst games of the season were against the Giants last year. He was far better tonight against them than last year.

Misssed a few throws, but they have legit front 4 and DB's too. You don't get many guys running scott free through their secondary.

I have no issue with how he played tonight.

 

[Doomsday]

Definitely some pretty shitty throws though. We're lucky at least two of them weren't picked. But again, this is a tough D. It can shake you up and make you mess up here and there.

 

[Scot]

Zeke had 24 touches for 104 yards plus 5 catches for another 36 yards

140 all purpose yards and ppl are acting like the Giants stuffed him all game

Since when is a 100+ yard game a bad thing?

I think some fans are spoiled by his last season performance

 

[dbair1967]

Scandrick said he's having surgery and likely our 1-2 weeks.

Awuzie said he tweaked his ankle but thinks he will be ok.

T Williams could hardly make it to the lockerroom after the game.

 

[dbair1967]

Cant wait for TNF this week. Texans and Bengals, two of the worst team performances of the week in a match up.

So glad we have these games.

 

[Scot]

I don't care about T Willy

But loosing Chido and Scandrick is worrisome

Especially considering Scandrick is our only real vet who isn't about to be suspended

I'm not criticizing Zeke you dumbass homer, I'm talking about the coaches, the same coaches that had him standing on the sidelines with Dunbar on the field at the end of the game vs GB. I can understand it more in the first game of the season and am admittedly still confounded why Dunbar was on the field instead of Zeke vs GB

He only came out a couple times. He's gotta get some rest during a game.

29 touches is a lot for week one when he really had gotten much work at all during preseason games, and again he was gaining TOUGH yards. Other than 1 poorly blocked play I don't think they ever got him for a loss.

The Giants have a very physical, tough defense. Elliott had a solid game and came up with some key first downs late in the game when everyone knew we were gonna run.
