He forced the collapse by insisting the anti-trust lawsuit go forward. The USFL was a spring pro league, Ran. Trump (owner of the NJ Generals) talked them into moving to the fall and going directly up against the NFL. The fledgling league wasn't ready for the fall competition but it had a legal case. The NFL actually lost but the jury flubbed the award bc they didn't know how much to award. Some woman on the jury told the others in deliberation to award one dollar and later the judge could determine the correct amount, which was dead wrong. So the award was $1 trebled to $3. End of USFL.

I always wondered if that woman was in the bag for the NFL from the start as a last line of defense. Why would she even suggest such a thing. Anyway, that's why the NFL hates Trump bc he was behind the suit.

Yeah, I know that story, don’t worry

Some states from this game:
The Texans & Seahawks combined for 988 total yards, the most in any game this season
Watson (402) & Wilson (452) each surpassed 400+ pass yards. This is the 14th game since 1970 in which opposing QBs each had 400+ pass yards.
Deshaun Watson has 3+ pass TD in 4 straight games, the longest streak by a rookie in NFL history (no QB has more than 2 straight since 1970)
Deshaun Watson ties Kurt Warner for the most pass touchdowns by a QB in their first 7 career games (18) since 1970
Deshaun Watson became the first player in the Super Bowl era with 400+ passing yards, 4+ passing touchdowns and 50+ rushing yards in a game

Wilson may have also broke a record.

I’m telling you guys, Deshaun Watson is for real. If not with the Texans, then with somebody.

...I was a Trump supporter. I now despise him.

Also, I do remember saying at some point that Watson was the only QB in this draft who had a shot at being good. I still have my doubts, but he's performing unbelievably well right now, making the NFL look too easy, to be quite honest.

Also, about all the above stuff: I used to be a Trump supporter...now I despise him.

Only because he said he’d fire anyone who kneeled, and then probably realized how that would backfire. Also because he loves money too much to sacrifice his ticket-sales.

Just dropping in to say cheers to an ugly win in Detroit! That JuJu catch was something though. If we could get our crap together against the likes of Chicago and Jacksonville, I would almost be optimistic about our SB chances this season.

Until next time, Go Steelers!

Everyday more and more people are coming to their senses. There's hope for 'Murica.

Getting your crap together against the likes of Tom Brady and Belichick is where your guys need to focus. Though you could run into Jax again.

Packers without Rodgers, Lions and Panthers are unproven.

I would like it if people would quit hitting our (the Chief's) recievers in the head.

You realize the Bills are also 5-2, right? I can’t tell you it definitely won’t be 2011, when a 5-2 Bills team (that had beaten the Patriots no less) collapsed to finish 6-10.

Look, I think there's definitely room for optimism, but while the defense looks to have improved the last few weeks, look who they were playing: Green Bay, Chicago, Miami, Detroit. They allowed a nice total of 29 agaist GB and da bears, but 38 against the Lions. They shut down an inconsistent Cam Newton-led squad that has zero rushing attack, and they got dominated by Tom Brady.

I can easily see them allowing 120+ during the coming sleight (Tampa Bay, Rams, Bills, Skins), and then playing Atlanta twice in their final four will be tough. Besides that, I'd love to see that run game prove to be as good as it has been against Gerald McCoy, Aaron Donald, and the Bills D.

Oh wow, Peters with an interception to add with his forced fumble recover already.

CHIIIIIEEEEFFFFFFFSSSSSS!!!

Watch the game or my recording of Lucifer?
*Score is 14-0 and first thing I see is an interception*
Lucifer it is.

Titans need to beat Baltimore to keep pace with the Jags, who will more than likely dominate the Bungals this week.

by **Trollgaard** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 6:09 pm

Oh man, that was a silly play.

Now you see why I've been complaining about Siemian all season long.

He's been playing good the second half.

Jimmy G to the Niners. That could be a big move for Shanahan, but at the same time, I doubt he'll do anything. Just look at Matt Cassel.
