Week 12 Game Threads - Thursday Triple Header

[BigSoxFan]

1st down on the 20 with 1:00 left and all three timeouts. And they just quit.

Sadly, it was the right call.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Oh, shit, that was unexpected.

Packers owe all of their offense to coverage busts and blatant overpursuits by the Steelers D.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

That guy was open.

 

[Couperin47]

GB is going to tease us with the possibility of the win most of the evening it seems, but they are still Lucy

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Pats will put up 25+ on the Steelers barring turnovers.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Pats will put up 25+ on the Steelers barring turnovers.

I mean, they should put up 25+ on everyone barring turnovers.

 

[bagwell1]

Pats will put up 25+ on the Steelers barring turnovers.

but what about the 2nd half?

 

[soxhop411]

INT Numero dos

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Did Tomlin really say “we should win it all” in his pre-game interview?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

I feel like this is Pitt-Indy all over again. I've gotten sucked in and my hopes are up, but I've just got this nagging feeling that the wheels will come off at some point and the Steelers will escape with a narrow win.

 

[BigSoxFan]

GB had to get points there

 

[Ed Hillel]

Steelers probably will win, but this is standard Tomlin. Already talking up the Pats and winning a SB while Belichick talks about how Jay Cutler is a HoF caliber QB.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Did Tomlin really say “we should win it all” in his pre-game interview?

Yep.

Proceeded to say he's going to acknowledge 'the elephant in the room' (the Patriots), and how the Week 15 game and - if each takes care of its business - playoff matchup will be big games.

 

[Blue Monkey]

That was a questionable at best fg decision

 

[Van Everyman]

Moronic decision to kick there. McCarthy gonna McCarthy.

 

[Kliq]

Huntley has happy feet in the pocket; he needs to step up and throw instead of tucking and running into the teeth of the defense.

Collinsworth just had an orgasm for three separate Pittsburgh players.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

oh McCarthy

 

[Mystic Merlin]

A 57 yard FG in Heinz? Wtf?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Green Bay seemed to get a bit flustered there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fucking doofus.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

What a tool. So either he has to beat the Pats twice this year or he has to win a playoff game in New England. Anything can happen but I’m not overly worried.

 

[Ed Hillel]

6 play TD drive coming.

 

[BigSoxFan]

This game will be tied in about 5 plays

 

[mostman]

The odds of that FG had to be below 5 percent.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

And that's why BB doesn't trot Ghost out to kick 50+ yarders unless it's absolutely necessary, or the time is going to expire. Punt it there and pin them deep. Horrible choice to kick a field goal.

 

[ilol@u]

Idiotic decision. Your defense is playing well and Hienz is a historically bad place to kick FGs. Moronic. Punt it.

 

[pokey_reese]

Go Pack Go

 

[Curt S Loew]

Yep.

Proceeded to say he's going to acknowledge 'the elephant in the room' (the Patriots), and how the Week 15 game and - if each takes care of its business - playoff matchup will be big games.

In your heeead. In your heeyahead. Zone D. Zone D. Zone Deyah.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Fucking tackle somebody, Pack

 

[pokey_reese]

I feel like this is Pitt-Indy all over again. I've gotten sucked in and my hopes are up, but I've just got this nagging feeling that the wheels will come off at some point and the Steelers will escape with a narrow win.

Same thing happened with PIT-DET, too.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Brown is so good

 

[ilol@u]

Most predictable TD drive ever

 

[Silverdude2167]

Not that it mattered, but that was a terrible DPI call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Now is about the time of year where Ben goes down and acts like his career is over. Throws on 12 knee braces, leaves on crutches, then comes back in 2 weeks.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Mike McCarthy is the Joe Flacco of head coaches

 

[Adrian's Dome]

Most predictable TD drive ever

Yup.

And here's where it gets ugly.

 

[pokey_reese]

Is there a better player than Antonio Brown in the league, other than Brady?

 

[soxhop411]

Mike McCarthy Needs to be fired yesterday

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Yup.

And here's where it gets ugly.

And here we go.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Those terrible towels just got another sack!

 

[Curt S Loew]

That QB is good at stepping up into defenders.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Pittsburgh is pretty good. Fantastic skill position players. Defense has some holes but they play really well on emotion and seem to have great energy. That's going to be a tough place to have to play.

 

[ilol@u]

Is there a better player than Antonio Brown in the league, other than Brady?

Probably not. Maybe a healthy Aaron Rodgers? But AB is a top 3 NFL player.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why wouldn't Tomlin have them re-kick to Brown?

Some puzzling decisions by the head coaches.

 

[mostman]

Matching sweaters!

 

[Kliq]

Those terrible towels just got another sack!

I legit laughed out loud when Collinsworth began crediting the towels for making Huntley uncomfortable.

 

[Blue Monkey]

This game will be over shortly.

 

[mostman]

Woah.
