Week 2 Thread

[polamalubeast]

Thursday Night football between the Texans and the Bengals tonight.

It's going to be a horrible game for several reasons, but it's already a must win for both teams since after that, the Texans will play at New England and the Bengals at Green Bay.So the loser of this game have a good chance to be 0-3 after.

[86WARD]

UGH...

Does the NFL try to put the worst games on Thursday Nights?

UGH...

Does the NFL try to put the worst games on Thursday Nights?


Each team will play in thursday night game as this is the case since 2012, so it's definitely bad for the product.Next week, it's going to be the Rams against the 49ers ....

For tonight, it's going to be a low scoring game (unless a defense helps their offense to score with turnovers) and an ugly game.In2015, the Texans won 10-6 against the bengals and they also won 12-10 last year against them and his 2 games were in primetime!

[st33lersguy]

I'll be looking forward to not watching this game

sloppy start for both offense.

Not watching, but just checked GameCenter on NFL.com - typical TNF barnburner that should really help to boost the league's sagging TV ratings. :sarcasm:

Bengals are the first team since the 1939 Eagles to not have a TD in the first 2 game at Home!!!

Maybe the Steelers will be able to get Eifert on the (relatively) cheap if his numbers stay down due to their crappy offense and the fact that he's in his contract year. The sky's the limit now after the Haden signing...

16 punt tonight!

[polamalubeast]

Good chance that the bengals will be 0-3 since they will play against the Packers in Green Bay in week 3....so the focus in this division for the steelers will be the ravens this year.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Always good to see the Bengals lose.

Hue Jackson was a huge loss for the Bengals.

Hue Jackson was a huge loss for the Bengals.

If they have patience with him, Cleveland might actually get somewhere.

On to @Green Bay for the Bengals in week three - that should go well

Bengals need to tank in order to get in a good position for a draft that has a number of promising QBs - it clearly is over for the Red Rifle and I doubt AJ McCarron is a long term fix

Give Marvin Lewis a life long contract! :lol:

While I still have a soft spot for Marvin for creating one of the most dominant defenses in NFL history, he follows a pattern that great DC's and OC's do not a great HC make. Cincinnati has a load of talent. Marvin just cannot piece together a true winner.

[Moose]

Maybe the Steelers will be able to get Eifert on the (relatively) cheap if his numbers stay down due to their crappy offense and the fact that he's in his contract year. The sky's the limit now after the Haden signing...

I thought so last year too, but I think Eifert seems to be injury prone so I'm not sure he'd be a good fix on our team. We have enough 'big' money sitting on the bench. Plus I'm not sure he's that good.

- - - Updated - - -

Bunghole fan's are obnoxious and pathetic, probably worst fan's of all NFL teams. Just leave Marvin, Dalton and Birthdefect there with a long term contract. Kinda like the NFL Globtrotter's......LOL.

Agreed being a great OC or DC is no guarantee of head coach success but head coaches fail from any background

Arguably the two best head coaches of the modern (post-1978) era were coordinators for legendary offensive and defensive units - Joe Gibbs (OC for Air Coryell) and Belichick (DC for the Lawrence Taylor led Giants defenses)

And OC and DC for the late 50s Giants were Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry

Story on what a sweet situation that was for the Giants HC

Hall-of-Fame end Kyle Rote related in a training camp anecdote just how detached Howell was from the daily grind. Walking down the hallway of the coaching offices, he spotted Lombardi in one room, reviewing footage from a previous game. In the next office, there was Landry, doing the same.

“Then I walked past Jim Lee’s office, and there he was, reading a newspaper,” Rote recalled. :chuckle:

No fan base deserves this start more than Bengirl fans, and that's saying something

Patriots up 27-13 on the Saints, and about to score again.

Can someone please shut the hell up about the demise of New England? They'll be right there in the end, and they must be destroyed.

[86WARD]

To defend the "demise people", it's the Saints. Perhaps one of the worst defensive backfields in the NFL in the last 10 years.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Honestly I don't think that I heard anyone say that the Patriots were done after one loss. If so, that's foolish. With their division, they've got an easy route to the playoffs every year.

Dallas getting demolished in Denver. 35-10 now.

Don't look now, the Broncos are quietly being good, and the AFC West is looking stacked as hell. Thank god the Steelers don't play the West this year.

Packers Defense in midseason form already.

Time for some Rodgers heroics.

[Edman]

24-7 Falcons.

Green Bay didn't learn a damn thing from the NFC Title game. I shudder at the thought of the Steelers playing the Pats again and see if anything will be different.

[st33lersguy]

Good news is even if the Steelers defense gets lit up by Rodgers in week 12, there still is a chance the Steelers can score enough against this defense at home to win anyway

It still has its good days, but Dom Capers' Defense is just as outdated as the Lebeau Zone.

[st33lersguy]

After taking a 24-7 lead, the Falcons add on another quick TD in the 3rd quarter. Exactly like the NFC Championship game except for the Packers 1st half TD

The Giants are 0-2 and in deep trouble right now.
