Not sure to be honest. More site traffic overall to the main site which could draw in people to a caste football sub thread (I guess that is what I would call it). I personally do not like Reddit and the way it is organized. I have not been on Voat except for going to the main site after Johnny_U mentioned it to check it out.

Apparently Johnny U isn't going to explain why he recommended it. At any rate CF has two main issues -- the lack of new posters, primarily due to Google and other search engines burying us way down in search results; and the drop in posting by many veteran posters. The first problem contributes significantly to the second one. Fresh blood invigorates forums. But posting begets more posting, I wish all registered members who come here would endeavor to post as much as possible.

Packers Pale Faced Defenders have played outstanding today.

I think it's safe to say that if the Buccaneers had started Fitzpatrick instead of Winston they would have won today.

Montgomery coughs up a kick return. Perfect example of a mediocre NFL RB.

It was a pretty boring day for white players. McCaffrey scores twice, Kelce with decent yardage and a TD, Humphries continues to salvage his season, Doyle with a TD and 70 yards, Ertz and Goedert with TD’s (but poor yardage).

No Kupp, Nelson ignored despite being the #1 in Oakland, and no white pass-catchers over 100 yards.

If the great Adam Thielen ties Calvin Johnson’s record for consecutive 100-yard games tonight, it’ll salvage an otherwise lackluster week. Also, it would be nice to see Gronk/Edelman/Hogan dominate on MNF tomorrow.

Brandon Marshall's playing but injured so Jewell is taking some of his snaps. Jewell will start sooner or later and hopefully at some point this season but as of now he's still a backup who sees the field a fair amount.

According to the BLM-supporting cuck, Mike Florio (among others), LB Brandon Marshall could be traded within the week. Great news for Jewell, should it occur...

That would be nice. It was a pretty ho-hum day in general, not many black players blowing up either. White defensive players excelled again, as they usually do.

Rodney Harrison was taking about Thielen and said the following: “I’ve been taking to a lot of [black] players and they’re saying that they’ve been underestimating him because he’s not the biggest guy, not the fastest guy.”

He ran a 4.45 40 and has been burning everyone for the better part of 3 NFL seasons. So actually, he is “the fastest guy.”

I’m hoping the best for Adam to get another 100 yards tonight...but I could see the Saints scheming to stop him, lest they suffer the humiliation of allowing a white UDFA to break an all-time great black WR’s record.

Thielen isn't the biggest receiver in the NFL, nor is he the fastest. Those are true statements. There are receivers who are bigger than him. There are mostly different receivers who are faster than him. He does have very good speed and size and hands. They are so stupid that it's actually painful to witness. The only thing worse than watching these half-wits try to explain away something like Thielen is watching whites try to make excuses for the obvious stupidity.

Theilen is amazing! These unbelievable catches are routine for him!

I'm hoping they don't go away from Theilen and deny him the "crime" of equaling Calvin Johnson's record of eight 100 yard games to open the season. I know some of you are thinking that.......

I’ve only been watching football for about 9 years and Adam Thielen has to be the most dominant/impressive white receiver I’ve seen, pretty much tied with jordy nelson a couple years ago. Eric Decker had that potential but was bit by the injury but a little too much. I wish Thomas Sperbeck got a better chance in the nfl because his college tape reminded me of a skinnier Jordy Nelson.

Alex Anzalone is being turned into a WSTD. The very talented Trey Hendrickson isn't even that, being mostly inactive so far this season.

I don't think Cousins will go away from him but the black players may work extra hard to stop him. Don't be surprised if Thielen is subjected to a couple of cheap shots in this game.

Michaels and Collinsworth have said that Taysom Hill is the fastest plaster on the Saints two times already. Interesting that they’d admit such a fact on national TV.

Thielen with 56 yards already.

This is a fun game to watch. It's frustrating though as I'm also trying to watch the world series. Back and forth. :)

Harrison Smith INT....on Brees his 1st of the Season

Adam Thielen's remarkable story makes a perfect opening for Mainstream Football Board; asking the Question; " How many WR's just like him are totally ignored by Recruiting Services"?? He is about to make NFL History!

Thielen up to 5 catches for 75 yards and he has 1 rush for 15 yards. We need to get this record for the kid. He should
be even more talked about than he is. Every household should know his name. Rewrite the record books Adam Thielen. We
are some of your biggest fans. Fun game and it's gonna be close the whole way. Two tough playoff bound teams going at it with a lot of talent on the field!
