**OFFICIAL 2015 NFL SEASON THREAD**

Mariota got owned a few times, he's seeing just how much faster those big guys can be in the NFL. Also, something was wrong with his helmet speaker. Otherwise, he's making some throws that rookies usually don't make. Not sure if he'll play anymore tonight after that score.

The INT was the fullback's fault, completely missed his block. Would have been a perfect screen pass if he'd done his job.

The other 2 busted plays were due to starting linemen who had no business getting shoved around like that. The fumble play, Mariota might have saved if he stepped up 1 step back into the pocket, but not sure he coulda done much better than to tuck it in and take the sack. Better for that stuff to happen now in the preseason than next month when it counts.



The amount of press that was on that game was insane, not the kinda stuff we're used to in TN. And they only focus on the 2 turnovers, not how he got the ball the 3rd time and drove it all the way down the field to score. We're not used to having receivers who can catch, either. Aside from the 2 INTs, all the QBs and receivers were on fire. Some runners and linemen on the 2nd string might take the starting jobs before regular season starts.

Not in the AFC West either.

Beg pardon?

Justin Houston and Tamba Hali aren't playing for the Chiefs after all, the Chiefs got moved out of the AFC West without telling anyone, or the Chiefs will be able to perform defensive magic on any team except a division rival? Or did that mean something else?

Oh ha, I thought you meant the Texans and 'Houston-Hali' was a Texan fan slogan or something.
 
If the Raiders and the Chargers share a stadium, one of them will have to leave the AFC West and maybe even go to the NFC. If I had to guess, it would be the Chargers switching with SF.

Sucks for him but Panthers weren't going to be a playoff team this year any way. Panthers got their two playoff years after the owner got his $120 million out of Charlotte taxpayers. Atlanta's turn now...gotta pay for that shiny new stadium!
 
I think Chase Daniels wants to steal Alex Smith's title of 'Chiefs starting quarterback'.

And I think he just might, too.
 


This will be a much better fit for him than the Jets or even TN. The problems he had in TN had to do with moving to a spread offense without a fullback blocking for him. No matter what they say about his work ethic or whatever, he's dependable and played many games when he's not 100% healthy.

There is definitely improvement over the last two years. Titans, in general, need to work on speed and hanging on to the ball. There is a lot to work on, but I feel encouraged.
 
Check out the scores from the games this week, quite a few of them don't look like football scores (11's and 12's are rare). Several games I know they missed extra points, and more teams going for 2, since they are now kicking from the 15.

Statistically, kicking XPs from the 15 makes no difference. They'd have to move it back another 10 yards for it to affect the calculation on whether to go for 1 or 2.
