This running back Carlos Hyde is pretty good.

I was saying he looked good in the pre-season. Not trying to throw too much hyperbole out after one game against a terrible defense, but Hyde looking like basically a more explosive version of Gore. Hyde looked good in pass protection as well, as a matter of fact, a hell of a lot better than most the offensive line. I think it is safe to say Gore is done in SF after this season, if not before. Also we haven't even seen Latimore yet who I think was an even bigger steal than Hyde.

Really late but damn!!! Look at those Dolphins stomp some Brady ass!! Then look at ESPN, etc not even talk about it. Hell, the halftime show on NBC, the surprise game is the shitty Bears losing? You mean the 8-8 guys from last year losing to 6-10 Bills. Not nearly surprising as the Pats who haven't lost game 1 in a decade...homer talk over now.

Bears losing to Bills was a bigger surprise than Dolphins beating a Patriots team that is a shadow of its former self.

Dumb question, but who is James Cutler? Some sort of inside joke? Or were the forum titles just edited by someone who doesn't pay much attention to football?

Dolphins have completely new OL, and the Pats are considered a playoff staple. I agree they aren't quite as good but what exactly has ChiTown accomplished the past few with Cutler besides constantly being overrated? One playoff season? The Bills have an excellent defense as Chicago found out today. Maybe 8-8 this year again?

Bills are a bottom of the barrel team and the Bears are a top 5 offense easily.

Jordan Palmer probably gave away the entire Bears playbook to the Bills

I do agree that the Bears have a lot of weapons. They have the best WR tandem and a top notch RB. Never been a fan of Cutler though and the D just isn't Chicago quality. Maybe they get it together next week.

Not that it matters, but did the refs just spot the Broncos 6 yards there? Offense isn't supposed to gain yardage from fumbling forward.

Nope.

Rules_sl said:
The distinction between a fumble and a muff should be kept in mind in considering rules about fumbles. A fumble is the loss of player possession of the ball. A muff is the touching of a loose ball by a player in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession.

A fumble may be advanced by any player on either team regardless of whether recovered before or after ball hits the ground.

A fumble that goes forward and out of bounds will return to the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble unless the ball goes out of bounds in the opponent's end zone. In this case, it is a touchback.

On a play from scrimmage, if an offensive player fumbles anywhere on the field during fourth down, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If any player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If recovered by any other offensive player, the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble unless it is recovered behind the spot of the fumble. In that case, the ball is dead at the spot of recovery. Any defensive player may recover and/or advance any fumble at any time.

A muffed hand-to-hand snap from center is treated as a fumble.

So these NFL Most Powerful Fans commercials last year featured the guys being giant and powerful, and occasionally kind of dickish. Like negligently inconveniencing friends.

This season they are actively being shitbags to friends and neighbors, wrecking the neighborhood when he lands from getting a cheesesteak. Destroying the street on the way to a lunch date.

Then there's the new one they started showing this week. He jumps down and wrecks the ice on a lake because it's important not to run out of ice. Except there's people ice skating on this lake he just destroyed. He is dropping people in to a frozen lake so his beer stays cool. He's a murderer.
