Week 7 Game Thread

[mwonow]

Yep, refball has engaged in Miami

 

[mwonow]

I find myself happier when good things happen to the guys in green rather than the other team. Am I a bad person now?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ho hum 57 yarder by Tucker in a close game. Not the end of a half or anything either.

You're a phenomenal person

 

[mwonow]

Please don't - I hang out here...

 

[Ed Hillel]

HUNDLEY!!!

Rodgers’s stock dropping by the minute, like AEG in Fall of 2008.

 

[luckiestman]

How can an NFL game have turf this bad? Million dollar athletes and we going to skimp on landscaping?

The field in Foxboro’s been brutal this year, too. Brady’s slipped into 3-4 sacks already.

 

[mwonow]

Skrine's a moron

 

[Ed Hillel]

Minnesota’s RB just got destroyed catching a screen.

 

[luckiestman]

Skrine's a moron

He got burned for the TD earlier

 

[mwonow]

That's twice Lee has jumped up celebrating a play where he got called for a 15-yard penalty

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

So they just said that Gase admits he loses his temper too often and he needs Landry and Ajai to cool him down sometimes... Think about that for a second

 

[mwonow]

Yep. I'll consider that while also wondering why the play Miami just scored on is OPI when it's run by guys in Pats unis

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pagano’s gonna get canned during the bye week next month.

 

[pokey_reese]

This Panthers goal line stand is really giving the replay guys a workout.

Yeah that field is a disgrace, it looks like a knee injury waiting to happen.

 

[E5 Yaz]

When Josh Lambo hits a field goal for the Jaguars, does he celebrate with a leap?

 

[johnmd20]

Man, Indy is just a good football team.

Wait wait, I get it. Because of the Lambeau Leap, right? His name is Lambo, which is a homonym. NICE ONE.

 

[pokey_reese]

Opponent adjustments to DVOA over at Football Outsiders must be a nightmare this year. Who the hell is good, other than the Eagles?

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Colts will finish second today. The Jaguars will be next-to-last

 

[mwonow]

Man, Indy is just a good football team.

You keep saying this. Why?

 

[E5 Yaz]

You keep saying this. Why?

It's his and Ed's inside joke for the day. They thought it up on the bus ride to the gamethread

 

[Bergs]

He was contacted like hell at the point of the catch, bobbled slightly on the way down, certainly secured it before hitting the ground (to my eyes), and then survived the ground as he went into the endzone. Unless contact from an opponent doesn't initiate "down-by-contact" until after you have possession - which isn't my understanding, I thought if they were roughly contemporaneous it counted as bringing him down - then the instant he had possession and was down, his forward progress is stopped.

Unless you're arguing that he didn't have possession until he was already in the endzone (which given that he rolled over on top of the ball, seems pretty hard to argue), I think the refs made the right call there.

I thought the bobble continued after his ass hit the turf. Reasonable minds can disagree, but it sure seemed a stretch to overturn the call on the field.

 

[johnmd20]

You keep saying this. Why?

First time I said this today.

 

[luckiestman]

JETS!!!!!

Mo Wilk with the INT assisted by the DROY!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pagano’s gonna get canned at halftime on Twitter.

 

[mwonow]

First time I said this today.

Sorry, thought it was the second

 

[E5 Yaz]

Pagano’s gonna get canned at halftime on Twitter.

They might not let him in the locker room

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

First time I said this today.

Why would you think that period? Making one of the worst QBs in the game, without his star RB, look like Tom Brady.

 

[Ed Hillel]

McCown on his way to AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

 

[johnmd20]

I am not sure if you're messing with me. If you aren't, I'll answer that I was joking. If you are, kudos, because it looks sincere.

 

[tims4wins]

What happened at the end of the first half in the Bills game?

 

[johnmd20]

McCown on his way to AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Blake Bortles would like a word with you.

 

[pokey_reese]

Jesus, so the Rams are really good, huh?

 

[johnmd20]

Drew Stanton literally just threw a pass to a Ram. That was awesome.

 

[luckiestman]

We didn't get NY/LA in the World Series but we will get it in the Super Bowl!

 

[johnmd20]

Greg Zuerlein is some kind of kicker.

What kind?

 

[Ed Hillel]

CJ Mosley is a beast.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You mistyped NJ

 

[luckiestman]

CJ Mosley is a beast.

Eric Mangini's guy? Who does he play for now?

Edit: different guy

 

[E5 Yaz]

What happened at the end of the first half in the Bills game?

The teams left the field for halftime

 

[Ed Hillel]

Eric Mangini's guy? Who does he play for now?

Ravens.

12-6 in Minnesota, all field goals. It’s a ratings bonanza!

 

[pokey_reese]

Watching the amount of pressure that the Bears are getting against Cam Newton is making me very, very sad. The Pats should be having open tryouts for the D-Line every week.

 

[johnmd20]

The teams left the field for halftime

I get this one, too. You're just describing what literally happened but ignoring the question with glibness. Good work.

 

[pokey_reese]

Amazing catch by McCaffrey. Only gained a few yards, but it should be on highlights today.

 

[johnmd20]

Flacco is not longer elite.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kessler in for Browns lol.
