Divisional Round Weekend

[Ale Xander]

Poor play

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Interesting play call on 3rd down.

 

[Ale Xander]

He damn-near Goffed it up.

That was a Ja.Goff throw for sure

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I hope the players and other personnel are staying hydrated.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Lol.

Or not.

What an absolute choke by TB there. Massive choke.

Quoting your own post, 15 yard penalty.

I was mocking myself, tho. So it offsets.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Easy dropped int

must be the cold weather the reporter asked about for TB

She go into hiding?

 

[E5 Yaz]

I might have kept Gibbs in after his first run. Shiftier runner down close against a good tackling defense

 

[johnmd20]

Agreed, should have been PI, I believe.

 

[CFB_Rules]

One aspect of all the broadcasts that deserves a lot more praise is how quickly they identify infractions away from the ball so we can see why the flag was dropped.

This is part of the partnership between officials and the broadcast team. The replay booth has a direct line to the TV producer and can pass on tidbits. Also, officials give preliminary signals as soon as the play is over (offscreen) so the announcers can sound smart

 

[johnmd20]

Oh man, just another KILLER sack.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The pride of Grafton is leaving his fingerprints all over this thing, early.

 

[Ale Xander]

Another huge sack

 

[Curt S Loew]

That's twice untouched from the slot.

They are enamored with feeding Montgomery, it’s not great. But I’ve been told Ben Johnson is THE GUY, so.

Montgomery fysical, Gibbs phinesse

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Early in these big games one of the things I look at is who is getting to the line more quickly. So far, the Lions seem to be getting to the line more quickly with plenty of time to survey the defense, while things seem more frenetic for the Bucs.

I’m sure it is confirmation bias, but for so long as I have been paying attention, it seems like the team quicker to the line usually wins. Would need to see a couple more drives, but if nothing else, Lions are more calm and have the noise advantage.

Just a thing to look for.

Never knew the word could be spelled like that too.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Another hand on ankle tackle this weekend

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I actually edited quickly to not seem like one of those alt spelling fancy pants weirdos. But you were too quick.

Montgomery did average over 4.5 ypc with 13 TDs. It's not horrible.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Edited for the edit

 

[johnmd20]

Montgomery is Elliot and Gibbs is Pollard. It works.

 

[johnmd20]

TB is getting negative pressure on Goff.

 

[Marciano490]

Being a QB must be like doing those slap fights. Imagine just standing in there knowing you’re about to be crunched.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Tampa's done an amazing job limiting YAC. Couldn't finish the drive off here though, uncovered in EZ.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Detroit's OL is dealing

 

[Dogman]

Beautiful throw.

 

[Ale Xander]

Easy TD

 

[ngruz25]

Ah, the old don’t cover the guy in the end zone defense.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Detroit's OL is dealing

Yeah, I've seen about a half-dozen Lions games this year and they are really stout

 

[Al Zarilla]

Mostly passing by Detroit that drive. Goff the man.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Sewell is a monster of a LT. The Pats need a guy like that

 

[Ale Xander]

Anyone know where the 2024 Olympics will be held and who will covering them?

 

[Al Zarilla]

If what she said is true, totally stolen from Belichick in the first Rams Super Bowl.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Taht was scary, should have just declined the penalty.

 

[Ale Xander]

Practically same spot

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Awful spot

 

[speedracer]

it’s been said before but NBC’s music selection is elite. Aretha, Iggy Pop now

 

[Marciano490]

Fist of Joe Louis statue is pretty cool. Course, Rocky’s fist was a bit stronger.

i like what fox has been doing (phish, widespread panic)

Do love that nbc does local stuff though

 

[Ale Xander]

Getting Gronk vibes on that catch and run.

 

[Al Zarilla]

St Brown, ugh on that one.

 

[johnmd20]

That H&R Block guy is Frank Grimes.

I always think Iggy is British for some reason.

 

[patinorange]

Someone mentioned it yesterday. It's been a weekend of stud tight ends. It would be nice if the Patriots could snag one again someday.

 

[Van Everyman]

Does this Detroit squad give a dinged up and less than humming Niners team a run for its money in the NFCCG? I think so.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Might want to cover Evans

 

[johnmd20]

Man, TB needed that first down. It's been choppy all game.

Goff is Tom Brady when he has no pressure and he's Zach Wilson when he faces pressure. Tampa has gotten 0 pressure so far this game.

Now Give me the MC5, peacock.
