NFL Week 15 Game Thread

[SeoulSoxFan]

I put the blame squarely on Tomlin, as much as the terrible secondary.

I puke a little whenever Tomlin is mentioned as "one of the better coaches" in the league.

 

[soxhop411]

Sf playing like they got paid to throw the game.

They want FO changes.

 

[LesterFan]

As someone who has said this, it was based solely on the emergence of the Pitt passing game. As to their defense, we have seen already this season a team with a shitty defense (Giants) give the Pats all they could handle.

My rule of thumb at this time of year usually is pretty simple: When you can see a potential threat eliminated, that's what you root for. The Steelers losing would hurt their chances. The Broncos would be a playoff team regardless

I rather lock up the #1 seed regardless of who we might/might not face. A Broncos loss makes that much more possible. Pats can beat any team at home and I'd rather not have to go to Denver again.

This is the last time Pittsburgh can settle for FG tonight.

 

[pokey_reese]

Anyone still think Cincy has a shot against Denver?

 

[86spike]

I hope the Brocktologist is OK.

He had his whole left arm up Pitt's ass so maybe he's just sore from that.

 

[dcmissle]

I badly misjudged this game so far. I thought the Steelers would at least make them earn their way down the field, then answer with big plays themselves. These are not your daddy's Steelers.

Lol Natz praying for Peyton Appearance.

 

[Greg29fan]

No sympathy kneeldown for Peyton

 

[dcmissle]

No Tomlin -- you ARE playing like who you are.

 

[swiftaw]

No sympathy kneeldown for Peyton

He isn't active is he?

 

[soxhop411]

York might need to be fired in order for fans to support SF

Nope.

no, just joking around

 

[RedOctober3829]

Osweiler hurt his arm and is getting evaluated at halftime. Hello Trevor Simien?

 

[moondog80]

This could be the best of both worlds, if Denver gets a win to keep Pittsburgh out of the playoffs, but sets themselves up for a loss against Cincy?

 

[shawnrbu]

Of course they do. Predicting next week's outcome based on today's games is a reason why Vegas makes so much money.

shhhh ... don't tell him

If Os cannot play or is greatly reduced, this is not close to being over.

Cowher may be right about an epic second half coming up.

 

[soxhop411]

SF fans have given up on the team

 

[moondog80]

I agree. My hope is that maybe Denver can add another couple of FG and that's enough for the D to hang on.

 

[DanoooME]

Cleveland tackling as well as Pittsburgh today.

 

[crystalline]

Full Beckham/Norman play

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Derek Carr to Amari Cooper is going to be a very prolific combination for a bunch of years.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

SF fans have given up on the team

To be fair, they are playing for nothing and its pouring here in the Bay Area.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I like it.

 

[Average Reds]

I still can't believe that we have asshats trying to make that play out to be two guys battling.

That was some minor handfighting followed by Beckham with one of the worst cheap shots I've ever seen. Anyone trying to play the false equivalence game can get fucked.

 

[Jnai]

Haven't seen a Brock update.

 

[crystalline]

Two early Beckham/Norman plays

Refs could have headed off the later fights by penalizing these.

That was just the culmination of all of the BS they were doing to each other the whole game. You can't look at that one play out of context.

Mara > Goodell > the talking heads.

Any other player on any other team, huge fine and maybe a suspension.

Yeah I don't know who was defending Beckham's cheap shot. But they were going after one another all game and Norman was doing some dirty shit too. Neither one was covered in glory today.

 

[E5 Yaz]

ODB JR is getting it from Jordan Speith

[dcmissle]

Time for Ben to up his game and forget about non calls or bad calls.

 

[soxhop411]

Here comes a turnover.

 

[dcmissle]

Two three and outs. Have to capitalize

 

[soxhop411]

Two three and outs. Have to capitalize

they won't.

 

[soxhop411]

The steelers gave her a HOUSE?

 

[DanoooME]

Should have been OPI on the Steelers

 

[dcmissle]

There we go. I like Ben in a game like this.

 

[Dogman]

Harris should have been penalized for taking his helmet off too.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Harris should have been penalized for taking his helmet off too.

What are you talking about? Harris plays for the Broncos, not the Patriots! Hi Yammer!

 

[Stitch01]

He's out

 

[E5 Yaz]

they won't.

You really should just stick to regurgitating what other people report

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

He won't

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Now that's funny

 

[crystalline]

This one isn't a great look for Beckham

 

[soxhop411]

WUT

 

[dcmissle]

total special teams fail

 

[Jnai]

Nifty special teams play.
