Week 3 Thursday Night Football: Washington at NY Giants

[New England Pride]

Hahahahaha I just laughed so hard. Typical.

These TNF games have been absolutely brutal

There are some bad teams in this league.

Two of them are playing tonight.

And three of them are in the NFCE. LOL

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Way to hold on to the ball there.

 

[raduray]

fumble's into the endzone...it's a touchback LOL! Pathetic...just pathetic!

Another one you don't see very often.

 

[bostonia3333]

You seriously can't make this stuff up! A touchback!

Hey at least I got flashbacks to that 2005 AFC divisional game--I remember Champ Bailey got tackled by Watson for a touchback that was never called!

These TNF games have been absolutely brutal

For years now. But hey, what does it matter as long as that revenue is being generated, right Goody?

The Redskins are a complete dumpster fire. How can you suck for that long and still not have any talent? I mean if you are picking in the top ten every year, you should be able to find some good players even by accident.

I realize that they have traded away draft picks for years, but man, they have no talent whatsoever!!!!!!

division games shouldnt be played on thursday. too much at stake with tired bodies. At least play inter conference games.

 

[bostonia3333]

More Thursday night games should be held in blue-collar cities with insane tailgating like Green Bay, Buffalo, KC, Houston. I love watching rowdy crowds. METLIFE is a complete dump with an apathetic fanbase.

Gotta wonder what Vereen and Casillas are thinking, "Man, was it worth it chasing the biggest payday to be part if this crap fest"?

 

[raduray]

Man, the Skins are so bad.

 

[Wheelman]

Hah! Another fumble...pitiful...just pitiful!

 

[Zeus]

Too bad the officials won't call more penalties. I think the yellow flags brighten things up considerably.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

The fact that St. Louis beat Seattle, then got run over by this Redskins team is insane.

Gotta wonder what Vereen and Casillas are thinking, "Man, was it worth it chasing the biggest payday to be part if this crap fest"?

I think it's probably bittersweet in some way for both, although I think it ultimately would affect Vereen more because he was drafted by NE and here for many years. By all accounts he was extremely well-liked in our locker room and in the community. But these guys have families and they're playing a sport where your career could be over at any moment. Look at how long A. Williams was down for Buffalo on Sunday making a play we routinely see in the NFL.

As much as we look at it and think they're stupid for leaving a winning organization for bigger money, I don't necessarily think we can (or should) judge them too harshly. Now, I know there are flat out greedy athletes out there, like "Mevis" as some call him, but I really can't judge these guys that hard. Think about how much research is being done to uncover the long-term effects of playing football and putting your body through so much. Can you really blame these guys that much, especially considering the brutality of football? I certainly won't. I don't do what they do. I probably wouldn't want to even if I could.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Wow now the Giants can't actually challenge now.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Man, imagine of WAS scored that TD where dude fumbled. It would have been a thrilling finish to a boring game. Am I the only one that feels that NY could still find a way to lose this game? LOL

 

[PatsBoy12]

Great catch!

 

[New England Pride]

Worst. Game. Ever.
