2019 NFL Week 16 Game Thread

[Ale Xander]

Why don't they kick the FG?

Shouldn't matter now

 

[Average Reds]

Why don't they kick the FG?

The Giants? A FG doesn’t end the game. A TD does

 

[Average Reds]

Good. Now get these two losers off my TV.

 

[shawnrbu]

Coming of Age win for Danny Dimes.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

It's funny, I ripped on Miami for not going for it on 4th and 3 on Cinncy 30. And now they are close to going to OT. Idiot coach results in bad things.

Flores will always have a place in Pats lore.

Flores will always have a place in Pats lore.

I know. He's actually a good coach. But that was a really bad decision.

 

[E5 Yaz]

By NFL rules, if the receiver has completed the catch, he's not considered defenseless.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying what their definition is. In other words, if that's a fumble, he's no longer defenseless.

But, didn't he take a head shot?

 

[Marciano490]

Ertz got CRUSHED over the middle there.

I think Edelman is only guy in league who might hold that one

Julie would’ve had it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Stunning how flat the Cowboys came out today.

 

[Greg29fan]

Division on the line and Dallas is going to get blown the fuck out. A fitting end to the Garrett Era.

 

[johnmd20]

Hey Dallas, the game started, kay?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Stunning how flat the Cowboys came out today.

It's almost like they are trying to tell Jerry it's time for a new coach...

 

[E5 Yaz]

and GM

 

[Average Reds]

Is it me, or did it look like two or three Eagles were lined up offsides on the second down play?

 

[DJnVa]

But, didn't he take a head shot?

Targeting means leading with the head. Shoulder to head of runner/receiver isn't covered. There's 2 different things:

Defenseless--does not apply because he was establish runner
Targeting--does not apply because it wasn't with helmet

That just means the ref should have told them not to, not their fault

[RedOctober3829]

Anyone seen anything further on Ingram's injury?

Edit--here it is. Josina Anderson said Ingram is in a boot.

That’s a good one.

I didn't think he was defenseless, but I thought a shot to the head, shoulder or not, would be unnecessary roughness. ... Oh well, I didn't realize that as long as you don't target, you can hit a guy in the head as hard as possible

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cowboys woke up a little.

 

[johnmd20]

Miami not even bothering trying to score against a brutally exhausted Cinncy D.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Miami not even bothering trying to score against a brutally exhausted Cinncy D.

They scored

 

[cshea]

Garrett itching to punt here

 

[johnmd20]

They scored

Three kneel downs, going backwards 7 yards, and then kicking the FG is lame.

You're right ... the NFL should take away that W

 

[shawnrbu]

Must be related to Pierre Woods.

 

[Average Reds]

Ertz now appears to be out for the Eagles. They’re gonna have to win this with smoke and mirrors.

 

[cshea]

Moronic play calling

 

[shawnrbu]

Wince sails it on 4th and 1.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Moronic play calling

Tom Brady would like to “sneak” in a word with Wentz.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Any way I can block the Lebron commercial on my TV?

 

[joe dokes]

Wince sails it on 4th and 1.

Funny how the QB looks when his top receiving TE is out.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Seattle looks putrid. Chandler Jones is dominating.

 

[johnmd20]

You're right ... the NFL should take away that W

Why are you being so pedantic? Miami's season is over. When the NFL takes the win away, it will not matter at all to the team. Let them go for it.

 

[Dollar]

I hate the 'late hit out of bounds' flag when the ballcarrier is still trying to gain yardage and the contact is made in bounds.

 

[johnmd20]

That was a weak call. Absolutely weak.

 

[joe dokes]

It would actually be only half a win, since a tie is half a win and half a loss, for win pct purposes.

 

[johnmd20]

That 2nd down play by the Eagles is designed for failure.

 

[joe dokes]

I hate the 'late hit out of bounds' flag when the ballcarrier is still trying to gain yardage and the contact is made in bounds.

I wasn't listening to the ref, but was it the location or helmet to helmet?

 

[shawnrbu]

Dallas got a chance to double dip here.

 

[Al Zarilla]

GJGE Coop.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brutal drop by Cooper. Really is a team filled with players who crumble in big games.

 

[johnmd20]

Dallas got a chance to double dip here.

Double drop instead.

 

[johnmd20]

Zac Ertz is crazy.

 

[tims4wins]

Ingram calf strain per Schefter

 

[shawnrbu]

Would the Eagles have taken a 2nd Round pick for Goedert?

 

[johnmd20]

Ingram calf strain per Schefter

Considering how he fell down after trying to walk on it, it's amazing it is just a strain.

 

[Average Reds]

That was a nice play negated by stupidity.

Edit: that’s a weak call.

 

[shawnrbu]

Ingram calf strain per Schefter

Same injury as KD against the Rockets.

 

[johnmd20]

Dumb penalties after dumb penalties for both teams.
