NFL 2017 Week #10

Apparently GQ magazine wants to sell a lot of issues. I mean that in every sense of the word.



So @MJ5150 what's the line on the game?

No clue buddy. I do not bet on games or gamble at all.
What I can tell you is this game is ripe to see Shazier go down with an injury. I'm shocked he's gone this long without missing time.

The last time this issue was brought up, the thread ended up getting closed. That's all I'm saying.

What am I missing here?
Edit......nevermind, I see what this is all about now.
Yeah, we don't need to bring that subject into this discussion about the NFL.

No, no, no way I saw that coming from the Steelers.
They did their usual fold in the first half, and let Tennessee right back into it. Something happened in that locker room at the half and a different team came out.
I saw a stat flash up real quick...first time in 33 years the Steelers had five sacks and four INT's in the same game.

What did you guys think about the Skycam coverage? I thought I wouldn’t like it, but it turns out I did. Granted, I was only able to watch about 10 minutes of the game.
 
It was ok. Sometimes it was too... I don't know, next gen for my personal taste ( GET OFF MY LAWN! ). A few of the shots were like watching shaky cam Blair Witch Project shots. Never a fan of that.

I watched until the 3rd interception and then bailed. I had laundry to consider :bag:

No thank you.
The younger people who grew up playing Madden spend more money on the NFL and its sponsors than I do, so how guys like me feel about it doesn't really matter. It's going to be the standard soon.

Interesting story over at ESPN.com this morning about how the NFL is teetering on an all out civil war. It does sort of feel that way.
I heard Incognito talking how the players got hosed in the last CBA, and will again in the next one.
Then you have the Jones/Goodell battle.

I really liked it on pass plays, it provided a better view of the routes and the arc of the throw, IMO. For running plays, the standard view is probably better. Maybe broadcasts will start incorporating both, depending on the play.
 
32 years ago today, Joe Theismann's career ended with a snapped leg after the Lawrence Taylor sack. Thus ushering in the Jay Schroeder era in Washington.
I still can't watch that replay without feeling a bit queasy.
