2020 NFL: Wk.8 Game Thread

[cshea]

A Falcons/Chargers game would be fun.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why can’t we get guys like Austin Carr?

 

[shawnrbu]

A Falcons/Chargers game would be fun.

December 13th.

 

[johnmd20]

How long are they going to stick with Anthony Lynn? Something is wrong with this team.

By all measures, he's a solid coach. But these late game collapses every week cannot continue. They must be close to changing it up. Because that is an UGLY loss.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brees at an absurd 80% completion on 35 passes.

 

[shawnrbu]

Go for it.

 

[cshea]

Saints should go

 

[johnmd20]

NO may as well go for this.

 

[johnmd20]

Brees at an absurd 80% completion on 35 passes.

Average length of pass is like 4 yards.

 

[cshea]

Lame

 

[rodderick]

Brees tried his best to throw Roquan Smith a pick 6 but he rejected the gift.

 

[shawnrbu]

Don’t get why you take a delay of game kicking into a heavy wind.

 

[mauf]

How do you not GFI on 4th and 2 across midfield?

 

[cshea]

Still running Montgomery into a wall. Because establish the run, I guess.

 

[rodderick]

How do you not GFI on 4th and 2 across midfield?

Because if you don't get it the Bears need like 15 yards to kick a game winning FG.

 

[johnmd20]

What a great drive for the Bears.

 

[johnmd20]

Heh,, throw it to Robinson and things work out. Who knew?

 

[shoosh77]

Did all the Bears besides Robinson dip their gloves in Vaseline?

 

[johnmd20]

Stone hands by the bears.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Foles is trash.

 

[shawnrbu]

Taysom Hill Wildcat.

 

[kartvelo]

Holy crap. Just turned this on out of curiosity due to OT. It looks like Brees is shot-putting his throws. SSS?

 

[shawnrbu]

Corrente gives the signal for hands to the face when calling illegal contact.

 

[luckiestman]

Oh shit, that’s old friend Buster Skrine the penalty machine. Hate that fuckin guy

 

[shawnrbu]

Give Drew a couple shots at 561.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why kick on 1st Down?

 

[cshea]

it will probably work out, but I’ve never really understood the fascination with Sean Payton

 

[Mystic Merlin]

This is mystifying from the Saints

 

[shawnrbu]

Foles is 2-0 vs. Brady.
Foles is 0-3 vs. Brees.

Weird.

 

[luckiestman]

it will probably work out, but I’ve never really understood the fascination with Sean Payton

He’s an awesome coach, that’s probably why he gets good press. His QB can’t even throw the ball and he is 5-2 with wins over Tampa & @Bears

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I’m gonna watch this Eagles/Cowboys game just to see how much the players have quit on McCarthy.

 

[cshea]

My alma mater bear Ben DiNucci 2-years ago. That can’t bode well for Dallas

 

[luckiestman]

I like that Dinucci walked out there and slapped his own helmet 3x

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

He's got moxie and confidence according to Al.

 

[BigSoxFan]

LOL Wentz

 

[cshea]

Wow, that's as bad a play by a QB as you'll ever see.

 

[Marciano490]

Damn I almost sacked Wentz there.

 

[luckiestman]

I’m gonna watch this Eagles/Cowboys game just to see how much the players have quit on McCarthy.

Looks like they haven’t quit.

 

[cshea]

This is going to be a trainwreck. Awesome.

 

[luckiestman]

Both these teams are really bad. This should be a fun game

 

[patinorange]

Damn, I think Tom Brady’s most unappreciated skill, sensing the pressure. These QB’s suck.

 

[BigSoxFan]

DiNucci is flat out awful. Zero pocket presence.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brandon Graham can strip sack the best of them.

 

[luckiestman]

Damn, I think Tom Brady’s most unappreciated skill, sensing the pressure. These QB’s suck.

Brady has some weird combo of sensing pressure and calling the exact right protection and making the exact right read post snap.

I had a Tampa game on and my wife who is not a football fan but sees games because she sits in the same room as me was watching for a second and her takeaway was “wow, he has a lot of time to throw.”

 

[luckiestman]

This game being SNF reminds me of Army/Navy when that was the only game in town.

 

[BaseballJones]

Brandon Graham can strip sack the best of them.

Too soon.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wow, that's as bad a play by a QB as you'll ever see.

Well, at least since around 4 this afternoon

 

[jon abbey]

the Chargers have been doing this since I was born.

My brother is both a hardcore Chargers fan and does stats for NBC Sports, he points out:

"Teams When Leading by 17+ points this season
Chargers: 0-3 (.000)
All Others: 52-4 (.929)

3 times in their last 4 games, they've lost after leading by 17+
The other game, they blew a 16-pt lead and fell behind Jacksonville but rallied to win."

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Dinucci is Duck Hodges without the mildly amusing nickname.

 

[cshea]

Grounding?
