NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

Dallas Buyers Club.

Yeah, realized that right after my initial post .

Really enjoyed it. McConaughey and Leto killed it. Damn impressive by the both of them as far as taking on the appearances they did.

The film itself was solid.

Lyon: Alex Smith did win this game. Loss to SD isn't on him at all.

I dunno why people are shocked by KC their schedule has been laughably easy and Alex smith isn't going to win you a game. This is where not having a very good qb hurts you bc as many games as their defense has won them they were bound to have a stinker

I don't think anyone is shocked.  Most have been saying this about them all year, including the ESPN crowd.

Gotta get that!

Your thinking of Jeff Demps the Chiefs have Quentin Demps.

My bad, not even sure if Jeff Demps is still in the league

So did San Fran.  Look at the production from their wideouts:

Q - 630 yds
Kyle Williams (now w/ Chiefs) - 113 yds
Manningham - 38 yds
Baldwin - 28 yds

:x

Rich Home Quan out there by himself, you know he feels some type of way.

Hopefully Crabtree can recover from that Achilles

wow still tied for that 2nd wild card spot with 5-6 record? thats crazy.  if only we hadn't given away so many close games damnit

 

[champcruthik]

Lyon: I'm surprised too. Agree that in the past he's purely a game manager. But he stepped up like McCarron for Bama.

3 TD's. Threw deep down the field to Bowe and Avery. Bowe nabbed the go ahead TD on the last impressive drive.

Defense and coverage couldn't hold with no pass rush.

Hope the Giants win today...feel sick having to root for one of those two teams smh but it's definitely the lesser of two evils for my squad

As has been said, San Diego has the worst defense in the league.  So I don't see it as a reflection of Alex Smith's abilities.

Check out Mud from a few months ago, also a limited release like DBC. This year has been awesome for him. And he's attached to Nolan's Interstellar as the lead due out next year.

 

[champcruthik]

That's throwing shade for no reason. Credit is given where/when it's due.

He showed out against NO in the playoffs. And he looked above average against Denver to Bowe and even better today against SD.

He's not Namath or Elway, but he's more than a game manager. I'll give him above average QB. Good enough to win a SB? Probably not.

Well damn! color me shocked and impressed I was just assuming again based on how he's been pretty average all year. Credit to him...saw Hali and Houston went out too but it's tough for a defense to be that good every week

 

[champcruthik]

Good looks, Mac. Will do.

Jason Hatcher having a great season without exposure.

 

[don ramon]

what is eli doing out there? can't just throw the ball away instead of holding onto it forever?

Don't agree at all.  Everyone always brings up the NO game- that was by far the best game of his career and is a proven anomaly.  He's had more unbelievably bad games at San Fran than he has especially good games.  He is not more than a game manager, he is the ultimate game manager.
