NFL 2017 Season

[JBrax]

Deshaun Watson is your QB of the future and I have no doubt he'll be at the worst a top 15 QB. Many people compared him to Alex Smith in regards to leadership, arm strength, and decision making. I think that's why Andy Reid maybe went a different direction. We've had that player and so far he hasn't been able to get us over the hump. I personally think Watson will end up being a very good QB and will have a good career. The question is will he be elite? Time will tell and both Watson and Mahomes will forever be linked because Andy Reid chose Mahomes over Watson.

Watson is our future QB that is for sure.. As for now, well, I am not that optimistic. lol.

On another note Seahawks 4-0 for the preseason. And they have some pretty versatile players to pick from to put on the roster for the season.

Yeah, like 8/11 are Pro Bowlers on the defense!

Looks like Brock Osweiler is heading back to Denver as a backup QB.. Good for him but not so sure about Denver.. lol.

from nfl,

The NFL has postponed this Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins because Hurricane Irma is expected to make landfall in Florida sometime this weekend.

The league has rescheduled the game for Week 11 in Miami, when both teams were scheduled to have a bye week.

 

[JBrax]

The real games begin tonight! KC vs New England is a really tough draw for our first game though. Especially on a night the Patriots are getting their rings and Roger Goodell will be in attendance. I think the Chiefs will keep it close but I'm just not very confident going into Gillette. Strange things always seem to happen like static over the radios and such. We need some big plays, turnovers, and a bit of luck to pull off the upset.

 

[JBrax]

I guess we got lucky?

 

[tripplej]

Chiefs looked better that is for sure. Good game and good win for them..

It was nice to bring them down. Finish off what the Falcons started.

 

[phillihp23]

Did I miss something, they just ejected #20 Jeremy Lane for so called throwing a punch?????? And stripped the jones interception and touchdown...????

 

[tripplej]

I suspected this would happen.. Just not this bad..

Texans lost to Jaguars 29-7...

Tom Savage led offense averaged just 1.8 yards per play during the first half..
Deshaun Watson started the second half..

I suspect head coach will be gone soon if things don't improve fast!

 

[tripplej]

Monday night football --- Denver Broncos 24, Los Angeles Chargers 21.. Very good game..

 

[tripplej]

On Thursday night (yesterday), Texans had a must win game.. After blowing the first regular season game, this was a must win for the coaching staff and they won..
It was a 13-9 victory.. Granted, not great but it is a win..

I am assuming it will be Deshaun Watson's team now.. We shall see.

 

[JBrax]

I wasn't able to watch the game but did Watson really only attempt 6 passes? That seems very strange.

 

[tripplej]

from the espn,

"News: Watson completed 15 of 24 passes for 125 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added 67 yards and a touchdown on five rushes in Thursday's 13-9 win over the Bengals. (Thu Sep 14)

Spin: The rookie signal caller flashed the same electric play-making ability with his legs that was a hallmark of his three-year career at Clemson, rattling off a 49-yard rushing score -- the longest by a quarterback in franchise history -- with a minute remaining in the first half to give the Texans a 10-3 lead at the time. Head coach Bill O'Brien clearly had a conservative game plan in place for Watson, who averaged just 5.2 yards per attempt and was playing without his top three tight ends, starting right guard Jeff Allen and receiver Bruce Ellington. Watson also led a 13-play, 66-yard drive late in the fourth quarter, one in which he connected with DeAndre Hopkins on three occasions for 29 yards and also notched a pivotal 11-yard scramble on third down. The possession culminated in a 42-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn that gave Houston the 13-9 lead that would serve as the final margin of victory. Despite the modest passing line, Watson's performance offered a glimpse of the fantasy upside he's capable of offering, particularly as he acclimates further to the pro game."

 

[JBrax]

Well that was strange. I checked the box score early this morning and it showed Watson being 2/6 on pass attempts. I just looked again and now it shows 15/24 so that seems more feasible. It looks like he had a pretty good game considering his rushing stats.

 

[tripplej]

I do think Texans should go with Watson over Savage.. They should end this 2 QB controversy thing.. Stick to one player..

 

[JBrax]

I'm surprised they didn't award Watson as the starter coming out of pre-season. I'm not sure about the Texans coaching staff.

 

[tripplej]

I think we are all in agreement with the statement -- "I'm not sure about the Texans coaching staff.".. lol.

 

[tripplej]

Tony Romo and his psychic abilities

Good to have someone in the booth who knows the game really well. lol.

 

[JBrax]

The Chiefs looked good again and beat another quality team in the Eagles. It's going to be a fun season for sure.
