2019 NFL Week 16 Game Thread

[54thMA]

If the Chefs lose tonight and they and the Texans both finish at 11-5, the Texans are the 3 and the Chefs are the 4 right?

If so, the Chefs get the Bills and the Texans get one of Pittsburg, the Titans or the Raiders, correct?

It's a win/win for the Patriots; they'd get the Texans in the first round and the Ravens get the Bills/Chefs winner.

 

[snowmanny]

At the start of the year it seemed to me thatmost people picked the Eagles over the Cowboys in the NFC East, and their reasoning was generally something like while 2-53 the Cowboys might have a slightly better roster, the edge goes to the Eagles on QB and coaching. Along the way Dak was due a max contract etc etc but in the end the original logic held.

I mean until Daniel Jones throws for 6 TDs next week.

exactly, go Bears.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's the other 15 games where the problem lies.

So weird.

 

[54thMA]

Thanks, give me the Texans.

And then there's this...…….

I think if anything this season has shown that Carson Wentz is very flawed -- not sure Prescott isn't better than him.

Wentz almost has as many fumbles in his brief career that Brady does this decade. 47 fumbles in 55 games -- crazy.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I want the giants to beat the eagles next week but for the cowboys to miss the playoffs by losing to the redskins

 

[staz]

Nice rug, Al

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Don’t get your hopes up.

 

[BusRaker]

How can they fuck up the afc east playoff picture so bad?

 

[BusRaker]

If we beat Mia were 2 not the other way around

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Thanks, give me the Texans.

If the Pats had some dude on the sideline with a bluetooth headset in the entire world would enter a nuclear winter from the seething hot takes.

 

[cshea]

Here we go. I’m ready for the Mitch Trubisky experience.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bears start off with the Sid Luckman offense.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Suggs looked like shit on that running play

 

[joe dokes]

It's Channukah. Give it to Cohen.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Mitchell "Headshot" Trubisky

 

[DJnVa]

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

If you have the Bears/Chiefs game on they just had a defender lower shoulder into the head of a runner and the ex-official in the booth said it's completely legal on a runner.

 

[cshea]

Took about 6 plays for the Bears to Bear.

 

[McBride11]

The KC yellow gloves still drive me nuts

 

[johnmd20]

The KC yellow gloves still drive me nuts

NUTS. Absolutely NUTS.

 

[shawnrbu]

Trubisky has some Tarkenton in him.

 

[joe dokes]

The KC yellow gloves still drive me nuts

Wouldn't the BB move be having guys wear gloves the exact color of the other team's jerseys. Harder to see holds grabs etc.

 

[mikeford]

Why in gods name did this game not get flexed?

Dont subject American to Mitch Trubisky

 

[BusRaker]

I don't know, Chicago would be 10-4 in the NFC east

 

[shawnrbu]

Good challenge.

 

[Marciano490]

Wentz almost has as many fumbles in his brief career that Brady does this decade. 47 fumbles in 55 games -- crazy.

I know he’s a large mammal, but does Wentz have small or weak hands? Besides the fumbles, he always seems very tentative on play action, like he’s afraid to stick the ball in the rb’s gut.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Chandler Jones has 19 sacks

 

[RedOctober3829]

Lots of 4:25 games now.

Oakland at Denver
Arizona at Rams
Indy at Jacksonville
Pittsburgh at Baltimore
Tennessee at Houston
Washington at Dallas
Philly at Giants

 

[DJnVa]

So I bet $4.65 that Mahomes would score the first TD tonight at +2800.

 

[kartvelo]

How much did you bet that he'd draw a roughing penalty for being tapped on the shoulder?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Al and Cris think it's just jolly that Mahomes is a flopper.

 

[DJnVa]

How much did you bet that he'd draw a roughing penalty for being tapped on the shoulder?

I wouldn't bet those odds. Not worth it.

 

[Marciano490]

So I bet $4.65 that Mahomes would score the first TD tonight at +2800.

Why not $5?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Thanks for the replay on that Robinson catch NBC

 

[DJnVa]

Why not $5?

Because I was trying to even out the amount in my account.

 

[Marciano490]

Because I was trying to even out the amount in my account.

Think what you could’ve done with that extra $9. Or $90. Math sucks.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

So I bet $4.65 that Mahomes would score the first TD tonight at +2800.

For those of us who know nothing about what +2800 means, how much did you win?

 

[DJnVa]

For those of us who know nothing about what +2800 means, how much did you win?

$130.20 +2800 means 28 times the amount I bet.

I'm not a high roller, I don't keep much in the account. I just like to play parlays and the like.

 

[cshea]

28/1, $130.20

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lol punting. Cowards.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Ah thank you. Gambling was never my vice of choice

 

[ilol@u]

In the /.001% chance Brady actually leaves the Patriots, I see him going to Chicago. Decent skill players, amazing offense. He'd do well there.

 

[cshea]

Mahomes and Lane Johnson, having fun!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Careful, Al.

Don’t remember him saying Favre or Young looked like they ‘could be playing on the street.’

 

[shawnrbu]

Collinsworth wouldn’t allow NBC to flex out Mahomes. He’s been holding it since the day after Lamar played the Pats.

 

[Marciano490]

Ah thank you. Gambling was never my vice of choice

It doesn’t mix well with what your vices were. Especially when it’s so easy to do by phone or computer now.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

He just Nantzgasmed over Mahomes blindly throwing the ball to a checkdown.

 

[mostman]

He just Nantzgasmed over Mahomes blindly throwing the ball to a checkdown.

I wonder what his comment would have been had it become a pick 6
