Around the NFL III - The NFLiest Yet

[Aussie9er]

Philly o-line gave up 8 sacks you aren't winning many games doing that.  Throw in there 3 turnovers not a chance of winning.

OMG Swift, how do you drop that? Wow, dropped the game winner.

watching the start of the Bengals while waiting for our game.  Looks like a chargers lineman just dislocated his knee

Swift won't sleep tonight. That is absolutely inexcusable.

[Ftn49]

Lol, what do they have security personnel in the stands for? To watch the cardboard cutouts?

Whoops. Wrong thread.

I think the rams are going to be pretty solid this year. Disappointed that the Seahawks basically wiped the floor with Atlanta.

Not even watching a second of the night game. I probably would have watched it, had we won. After our lousy game, all football interest this week has vanished. 

( plus, enjoying other things helps )

Oh man, that call would have driven me nuts if I were a Dallas fan. 4th quarter, down by three, at the Rams 13 yard line. You elect to go for it, which is fine. It's 4th and 3, you throw to a 2 yard route LOL

Aldon Smith being this good after not playing for five years is INSANE. Like I can't even explain it lol. Good for him, hoping he can get himself one big contract before he hangs it up.

I think people in general (not you, I'm pretty sure you knew) don't appreciate that he was a Hall of Fame level talent with regards to sacking the quarterback. If he doesn't battle his demons, he's got well over 100 sacks in his career right now and is working on Canton.

I wish he had avoided his personal problems and stayed a Niner his entire career. He would probably have 125-150 sacks by now. But sure, we wouldn't have Bosa now, yadda yadda yadda. Still fun to think about.

If he doesn't have drinking issues, he would have had 8 or 9 double digit sack seasons. Heck, he may have been close to 150 sacks by now. I still laugh at people saying he was a product of Justin Smith and acting like he got all his sacks off the stunts they used to do. Dude was just flat out special. The way he used to just whoop elite LTs was something to see. I know Bakhtairi became better down the line, but I still remember how he tossed him by one arm to sack Rodgers. 

Collinsworth said he wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with 15 sacks. Would LOVE to see it.

Ha! I just posted that he would have close to 150 sacks if he stayed clean. 

I love Bosa but Aldon was a better pass rusher mainly due to his freaking power and length. When reports were coming out his rookie year that he was destroying a prime Joe Staley in camp, you just knew he was different. He took our defense to a whole another level. Special talent and player for sure. I wonder if maybe he can play to his late 30s due to his body not taking much of a beating since 2014/2015?

I just hope that he stays clean and mentally healthy. I'm rooting for him, even if he is a Cowboy. First time for everything.
