GB 19 Philly 17 at the half. Good game, but looks like no one else is watching. 

 

Had I known I could not watch it on NFL+, I would have gone to one of my siblings' homes to watch it. They have Peacock.

 

I'm listening on Westwood One. Looks like Hurts threw a TD; AJ Brown scored. It seems like there is a lot of offense in these first two games.

Is that artificial turf or natural grass field ?

To answer my own question

Quote

 

Corinthians Arena turf

Sometimes when NFL teams go outside of the country, either the stadiums have to modify their playing surface for American football, or the two teams simply have to deal with the different grass or turf. 

 

However, when it comes to Corinthians Arena, it's going to be a familiar feel for both the Eagles and the Packers. 

 

The playing surface at Corinthians Arena uses GrassMaster, which is a product that combines perennial Ryegrass with artificial fibers. It's essentially a fancy version of real grass mixed with elements of turf fibers, as opposed to using strictly turf. 

 

There are currently only two stadiums in the NFL that use that same material for their playing surfaces — Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Eagles, and Lambeau Field, home of the Packers. 

 

Hopefully, Love doesn't have any major or lasting injury, and returns to the field pretty soon this season. Him returning next week will be essential to have a very competitive game next week against the Colts.

Love left the locker room under his own power last night. Most likely just an ankle sprain. He will probably play. Apparently without much of a limp.

 

I once badly sprained my ankle and was initially in a lot of pain. After about 10 minutes, the pain subsided and I was able to walk about a mile in snow with little pain. The next day, I could not walk as I was in so much pain. Many people describe having the same experience after sustaining a sprained ankle.

 

Love is probably in a lot of pain this morning. He probably should let the ankle heal before playing again.

It definitely wouldn’t break my heart if he wants to take next week off!

Wow not the ankle 

 

 

I just saw that on the Vikings site that I follow. Someone else on the Vikings site said that another doctor thought it was an ACL injury.

Yeah, it's frightening how it gets worse after feeling better. 

 

As for Love, it looked like he could've injured knee or ankle, both looked dangerously close to getting hurt, but it all could be just a mild sprain, hopefully the case.. we just need to wait for proper diagnosis.

I used to watch his YouTube channel for injury explanations for fantasy purpose few years back, I think it was different channel back then..

 

... He does a great job of explaining technicalities.

I have never heard of him. He may be right. Many on DN thought the knee popped. I did not see that. These injuries are terrible.

He won't play next week, for sure. He is expected to miss 3-6 weeks, per the Athletic and SB Nation's Acme Packing Company (the equivalent of Stampede Blue, but for the Packers).

 

He should also miss the Vikings game in Week 4.

Your Texans @ Colts Game thread is ready. It will be published at 8AM tomorrow. Is there anything you would like me to include? There are 4 poll questions for fun.

Yes, I was, really nice experience! Man, Saquon is that dude!

 

That's great. I am glad that you enjoyed it. Hopefully you did not have to travel much to go to Säo Paulo.  One of my best friends is originally from Rio. She is an Eagles fan. She would have loved to be there yesterday.

 

I would like to go to a game in Europe one year. I'm going to the Vikings @ Giants game in New Jersey tomorrow.

Tomorrow. 8 AM.

I live in Jundiai, 40min drive of the stadium, pretty easy.

 

I'll go to Miami in January,  hoping they are in the playoffs.

As a reference: Aaron Rodgers had a MCL sprain in 2018 and missed no time at all. 

 

The injury to J-Love will not keep him out 3 to 6 weeks. His status will be determined day to day. Meaning his status for any upcoming game this season will be day to day. This post is not implying Jordan will not miss the Colts game at Lambeau. This comment is factually stating that Jordan Love will not miss 3 to 6 weeks, and that his status is day to day.

 

Any further information directly from inside 1265 Lombardi Avenue will be posted on a need to know basis.

That's great... Because whether it is Colts game or Vikings game a couple of weeks later, I'd like the opponent to be at full strength and strongly competitive :)

3 to 6 seems right.

    • You keep asserting that having JT would have opened up the passing game.  Did you not watch the previous 3 quarters when we had JT in the game, and running effectively, and the passing game stunk?  
    • I was surprised, and disappointed.  But in the NFL, stuff happens. Forever burned in my brain is the Jags in 2006 collecting 375 rushing yards and a big win against the Colts. The only thing that was stopping Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew's running that day was the end zone line.   The 2006 Colts gave up over 100 yards or more every game in 2006. Coaches and players were able to clean it up in the playoffs and the Colts won the Superbowl that year.   NFL, stuff happens, and AR will be on a roller coaster. But I hold on to hope of his improvement with experience.
    • CAR had to come up from 9 to 1.  We would have to come up from 4 to 1.  Not close to the same price.   Actually, Stroud didn't have much to prove.  What he had left to prove he sort of did against UGA, where he improvised and answered a lot of questions.  If you want to say he had to prove he could throw better under duress or when his receivers were not wide open, I guess so, but that seems like normal stuff to prove for a QB coming from college to NFL level competition.   For some reason, the entire draft pundits were in love with Bryce Young, but IMO, he had more to prove about his game/traits translating to the NFL than did Stroud.   But Stroud scored way low on the trendiness...Mohomes-wannabe.... comparison because he was more of the pocket passer.  If a pundit said he liked a pocket passer best coming out of the draft, the pundit would be labeled as not being one of the cool kids,  LOL.   That's sort of been the draft atmosphere the past few years.
    • At this point fire Chris and Gus, and Bring in Belichick to be our D coordinator.    Anyone see him on McAfee earlier? Literally pointed out the % Gus ISN’T doing to make adjustments or improvements. Who cares if he was our nemesis for all those years. I’m tired of wasting talent on this GM and cruddy defensive coordinator who got lucky with the LoB talent. I’m tired of losing. This team hasn’t been relevant since Luck, and it’s time to change that. 
    • NLFfan, the Vikings will have a challenge playing the Texans. I won't say they will lose, because anything can happen, but CJ Stroud is the real deal. The Texans have a good defense and offensive weapons. They might make mistakes or Stroud could have an off day. Minnesota and Darnold need to bring their best game.    What's the latest on Justin Jefferson? He was injured this week. Hope it's not serious.
