2017-2018 NFL Season Thread

I wonder what goes through player's minds as we march inexorably to kick off. I take karate and when I compete in tournements I have some level of butterflies. Yet this is the superbowl. I just can't imagine how that must feel, either the excitement, joy of making it, or the pressure to show that you deserve to be there.

Yeah, that's my thinking, but I also temper that by thinking these people are at the pinnacle of athletic ability, and they don't get there by not being confident. Yet I can't imagine the nerves

I was just thinking about players who have brought their families to the game. That would bug the hell out of me. I'd be worried my wife and kids were uncomfortable. Good thing I'm a failure!

I'm not a huge fan of Cousins. I think he's a decent QB, and tbh, I think the best place for him is in a franchise that relies on QBs not to lose the game. The Broncos for instance. I think in that situation, he certainly can flourish, but in places where the onus is on him to win the game. I think that's when we see his short cominings.

I think you are spot on. That said, I hope the Broncos can sign him. He is way better than any QB we currently have.
 
There was chatter about the Pats winning three in a row.
Last time I remember this same situation, the Broncos beat the Packers in Super Bowl XXII.

(I accidentally typed "Supper Bowl" then I "corrected" it, even though it was already correct, at least in the Central Time Zone.)

Impressive first drive for the Eagles, until the refs came in to rescue the Pats as they’ve been doing all year. That false start call totally killed all their momentum
 
This pic defines the game lol
