Week 17: Alt Pats Keep On Winning Vs The Bills!

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Don't let Zappe get the ball back.

With time and timeouts!

 

[NortheasternPJ]

BB going to kneel it?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Let Zappe cook

 

[ifmanis5]

BB going to kneel it?

If they can even manage that.

 

[Reverend]

Let Zappe cook

But who buys the groceries?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What was that first down playcall?

 

[Obscure Name]

Let Zappe sling it!

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Glad to see BB hasn't changed. What a loser attitude.

 

[kartvelo]

run run run halftime

 

[Zedia]

Hey announcer guys, it’s not that surprising.

 

[Helmet Head]

What do you have to lose going for it here? The season is already over. Stupid

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Ryland has one fewer misses than Aubrey, Hopkins, Zuerlein and Tucker combined.

They have 117 more attempts.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Zappe wants a 100 yard rushing day.

 

[ifmanis5]

Why? What?

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Weak

 

[kartvelo]

not even trying

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Glad to see BB hasn't changed. What a loser attitude.

Under a minute left in the half, at your own 5, down by 6, with a QB who turns it over every other throw? I think that’s the right move

 

[Obscure Name]

Booooo

 

[ifmanis5]

Why sneak if you're just going to kneel?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Under a minute left in the half, at your own 5, down by 6, with a QB who turns it over every other throw? I think that’s the right move

Pretty clearly the right move

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Smart play. If Zappe gains 20 or 30 yards on that sneak, then you go ahead and try to score.

 

[rodderick]

Under a minute left in the half, at your own 5, down by 6, with a QB who turns it over every other throw? I think that’s the right move

Sometimes in this league you have to actually win the game and not just not lose it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why sneak if you're just going to kneel?

Maybe didn’t think they had room backwards to kneel 3 times.

 

[Harry Hooper]

What was that first down playcall?

No chance of a TFL on it, but maybe they were hoping for a specific look pre-snap from the D for some kind of special play?

 

[Reverend]

Sometimes in this league you have to actually win the game and not just not lose it.

Why would we want that?

 

[Pandemonium67]

This is totally emotional and not wholly rational, but one thing I dislike about BB is his pansy-ass conservatism. Fuck that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Sometimes in this league you have to actually win the game and not just not lose it.

Kneeling, in this situation, probably gives you the best chance to win the game.

 

[radsoxfan]

wrong thread

 

[scotian1]

With a minute to play and the ball on your 5 yard line, there was no other logical decision.

 

[Van Everyman]

Sometimes in this league you have to actually win the game and not just not lose it.

Yet I’m not sure that was one of those times.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

3rd rd draft pick obviously

Nah, we gotta go higher, first round for sure.

 

[Kull]

Not only on the 5, but Ryland already shanked one. Not good risk-reward

 

[rodderick]

Yet I’m not sure that was one of those times.

Has there been "one of those times" for Bill in the last, say, 6 years or so? He's just become extremely conservative in general.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Were people mad at the 4th wasted on Ghost?

Nothing wrong with using a 4th on a kicker…if you’re right.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

You should still manage the game to maximize your chances to win it even if your season is fucked, and I don’t see the risk-reward calculus supporting letting Zappe chuck the ball all over there.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Is the broad side of a barn wider or narrower than football uprights? Chad has me questioning everything.

 

[worm0082]

The left Zappe too much time on the clock

 

[Ed Hillel]

That INT by 28 looked like the one BB talked about Ed Reed making against Manning on the All Time 100 team.

 

[BusRaker]

So first quarter took over an hour and the second took about 30 minutes?

 

[ifmanis5]

Are there any sports play by play guys who don't dye their hair?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Healthy, we might have the best D in the league.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Are there any sports play by play guys who don't dye their hair?

Sean McDonough.

 

[McBride11]

ahhh shit

 

[Ed Hillel]

​

Duggar has had a bad year, though.

 

[rodderick]

Dugger got absolutely cooked there.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hardo keeps comin'.

 

[ifmanis5]

Roasted.

 

[StupendousMan]

No safety help -- have the Patriots been playing this way most of the game?

 

[Obscure Name]

Team clearly responding to Bill giving up at the half.
