2019-2020 NFL Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Football • Page 1011

Apparently the steelers lost to the browns 51-0 in the 1989 season opener and still made the playoffs. Wow.

 

Browns were good that year. That was the year Elway beat them with The Drive in the playoffs, I’m pretty sure

 

Hope for the Dolphins.

 

You mean the Ravens

 

I mean, they were the browns back then

 

I don't put much stock into week 1.

Steelers Nation, on the other hand, is ready to hang themselves. Steelers fans have to be second worst only to New England in terms of fan privilege or whatever you want to call it. There hasn't been a losing season since 2003. Bunch of babies.

 

My coach

 

I love that man.

 

I love how aggressive and analytically driven he is, even if he does have the analytics crew in his ears telling him what decisions to make at times. The Eagles’ usage of analytics plus Doug’s aggressive coaching nature is a wonderful marriage

 

Absolutely, I thought his mindset was bullshit in the first year when he went for the win against the Ravens instead of OT. He's got bigger balls than most coaches and honestly never gives a shit. He's honestly the perfect fit for the city of Philadelphia.

 

I loved that call against the Ravens that year. Eagles weren’t going to the playoffs. When he decided to go for the win instead of OT, I knew he was a coach I’d be a fan of

 

He's top three in the league easily, and after the way Jordan Howard looked on Sunday you know damn well Doug is giving him more touches against the Falcons, Doug treated Washington like a pre season game in the first half.

 

The amount of touches, and specifically carries, that Sproles got was a bit concerning. I’d like to see more of a balance between Sanders and Howard with Sproles contributing in the passing game.

 

Nice

 

It's definitely concerning, I don't know, I feel like Clement should be the number 3.

 

This is so weird to me. Ben would audible out of this nonsense if it were Haley calling the plays.

Something about Foxborough just makes them all terrible.

 

Wow

 

Fuck, I was really looking forward to watching him this season

 

Terrific lol

 

The fuck man

 

Rashan Gary played six snaps against the Bears? woof. not a great start for a top-15 pick.

 

I don’t follow the Packers too closely so this assertion could certainly be wrong, but perhaps they were just bringing him along slowly as he comes back from injury?
