[Official] NFL: Week 3

Just give the Broncos the trophy and be done with it.

 

Yep, they're hiding now...

 

And they still get to add Von Miller and Champ Bailey to their defense. It will be more ridiculous then.

The one thing though is that consistently over the past few years, it is the team playing the best at the end of the year, not at the beginning, that gets to and wins the Super Bowl.

Don't forget how many of Peyton's Colts teams started fast and then faltered in the playoffs.

 

I know it is the Raiders, but, good grief, the Broncos look really tough. Then again they were rolling last year and stumbled in the playoffs. Crazy league.

 

Broncos offense vs Seattle defense would be pretty cool to see.

 

That was an awesome TD pass by Mcfadden.

 

^^^man tough break for Pryor...

and yes this is week 3 of the season, and Peyton Manning has the Broncos running like a well oiled machine.

 

It's a long season. I don't have stats, but Peyton strikes me as a guy who, because of the way he worked with teammates in the offseason plus adding Welker, was going to get off to a hot start.

 

whether you like it or not, their will be 3 more qb's just like Pryor drafted in the first round of next years NFL Draft according to Todd McShay

 

Seahawks says hello!

And texans are better

 

I see a lot of people gloating saying Alex Smith is probably laughing that he is 3-0 while San Fran is 1-2.

Do these people not realize they would still be 1-2 in San Fran if Alex Smith was starting this year?

 

Recently saw this highlight from last week. How was RG3's forward dive ruled a fumble? BOTH knees clearly touched the ground before any loss of control. Not even close.

 

He wasn't down because no one touched him.

 

But his knee(s) touched. Is that not automatically down regardless of being touched? QB takes a knee or slides forward after scrambling, the ball is dead.

Also, ground caused RG3's fumble.

 

You have to be giving yourself up - a feet first slide or taking a knee is considered that, but not a head first slide. If he kept rolling forward, the yards would count until he was touched and he's still a live player.

The whole "ground can't cause a fumble" thing is a misnomer - it really only applies to passes and means that if someone is catching a ball and hits the ground, it's incomplete and not a fumble. That's part of that complex "you have to finish the completion of a catch" thing.

 

Ground can't fumbles on running plays where players are touched, but I hear you on the knee and reception deals. It's college where no touching is necessary to be down. Unless they changed the rule recently.
