NFL Week 15 Game Thread

[Super Nomario]

Is it safe to admit Brees is no longer close to elite, and probably not even top 10 any more? Nothing specific to tonight just a general thought

I don't think so. Look at the rest of the team. How many games would they win with, I dunno, Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB? I don't think he's in his prime anymore, but I think the larger issue is the lack of surrounding talent. The defense is probably the worst in the league, the interior OL has taken a massive hit from where it was a few seasons ago, and the skill players are pretty mediocre.

He may have gotten his bell rung a bit there.

So, Detroit has no time outs but the refs give them a time out. GJGE, refs.

IMO that should be a Delay of Game Penalty

That was odd. Refs should just ignore that player calling for a time out when they don't have any.

Anyone still watching? Saints defense is putrid.

The effect of the Ryan brothers can take a while to shake off

Shake off? I think they need a bath in tomato juice.

Now is the time to watch this game. Lions with a big lead in the 4th quarter on the road. Should be a good mixture of Lions incompetence and some kind of referee blunder.

 

[Kevin Youkulele]

It does have that feeling.

I was debating whether going for two makes sense right there, in that you know what you need to do depending on whether you make it. But I guess it also is still kind of early.

 

[troparra]

The Lions just put this one away, I think. Lucky they got that fumble.

 

[mauf]

Lack of fumble luck for the Saints there probably is fatal to their chances.
