NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL week 3 games thread

[Zarozzor]

I didn't even remember this game was on until my friend blew up my phone with three texts in 20 seconds raging about McCaffrey's injury.

He had the first pick in his fantasy draft.

Man..the world has sure changed...enraged at your "fantasy" player flameout...who needs teams...that's so yesterday

Zach Wilson is watching this game crossing days off his calendar like someone doing a two year stretch in Walpole.

Better have Saleh check behind the Olivia Culpo poster in the QB room, make sure he isn't tunneling out at night.

I'm glad that Darnold won and is now 3-0, compounding the misery of Jets fans everywhere.

 

[RIpats88]

It's kinda funny watching Darnold excel as soon as he's off the Jets.

Still not sold on Carolina. They've beaten three mediocre to awful teams.

Need to see how they do when the schedule gets somewhat tougher.

I watched the 1st half last night while flying to Chicago. Mills looked good, got the ball out quickly and to the right receiver, reminds me of what I'm hearing about Jones though I have yet to see a Pat's game this year. Simplified game plan by the Texans. Darnold, on the other hand, looked like the old Darnold. Held the ball too long, had no pocket presence, and was rescued only by the extremely soft Texan coverage. Two fumbles where he never anticipated the rusher. I wasn't impressed.

I watched the first half as well and came away with the same impression. Carolina might be winning but Darnold does not look transformed to me.

Weird dude, weird choice of HC, very very weird press conference...

Like, someone decided Gase was the right fit for an NFL team. More than once. Insane.

They have a bunch of other beatable teams on the schedule. I think they are in line for disappointment in 2022 as their inflated wins this year won't tell the true story.

Report: Jaycee Horn likely facing 2-3 month recovery with broken bones in foot

The Panthers had several players go down with injuries in Thursday's victory over the Texans and there's a little more clarity on what one of them is facing for his recovery.

Pats play the Panthers early November so we won't be seeing Horn.

That was hands down the least entertaining game of the season so far, and it may not be topped in the next few months.

yeah i feel like their defense keeps them competitive so far.

 

[Kontradiction]

Their defense is stacked. They’ve spent a lot in the way or draft resources on that side of the ball and it’s paying off. Horn was my favorite corner in the draft. When he hits his stride, I think he’s going to be the best CB in the game.

Report: Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss a few weeks with hamstring injury

A report earlier on Friday indicated Panthers rookie cornerback Jaycee Horn could miss the rest of the regular season after breaking a couple of bones in his foot.

The Pats-Panthers game is November 7 so he might be back by then but who knows in what condition.
