Thanksgiving Week Game Thread

[PedroKsBambino]

Certainly today Jeremy Lane has looked like a guy in his first game back, and we know Cary Williams has been terrible when in there. In the games I've seen that weakness exposes Chancellor, whose pass defense has gotten very fringy (at best). Was willing to call that readjustment initially, but looking like a trend to me now.

Mike Carey waking up

LOL.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wait until they expand replay in baseball

 

[McBride11]

They showed the replay with the bobble like 10 times before Carey's "oh, I see..."

Retired professional ref there.

I think his left hand had it and he just adjusted his right.

And thanks Dano. It seemed with my limited viewing the Dline was allowing too much time.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I want to see if Carroll actually threw the flag or not.

Nantz said he couldn't get the flag out, just yelled that he wanted to challenge.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Its a stupid rule.

Two feet is a stupid rule?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Nantz said he couldn't get the flag out, just yelled that he wanted to challenge.

Right. What is the purpose of the flag if you don't need to throw it?

 

[Sportsbstn]

This game is starting to resemble the New Orleans-Giants game

 

[snowmanny]

Its a stupid rule.

Well there's college football.

 

[mostman]

Right. What is the purpose of the flag if you don't need to throw it?

My favorite is when the coach basically just plops it on the ground. I want to see a coach launch it into the line of scrimmage.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

The flag is a backup for if the crowd is too loud and the ref cannot hear if the coach wants to challenge.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Two feet is a stupid rule?

The bobble was almost imperceptible even on replay.

It was a great throw and catch. Was the reversal right? I guess probably, but football is a shittier game if that's not a catch. And I hate the Steelers.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wow, bad tackling.

 

[dcmissle]

Nice tackling

I think the Orlando Brown Rule discourages that

I'm watching it on an SD broadcast and it was patently obvious to me. I'm sort of surprised people thought it was a catch at all.

Could not disagree more, and I don't care which team it was. They got it right, and I saw the bobble on the first replay. It's what the cameras are for.

 

[patinorange]

No. The microscopic super slow motion of two hands on the ball is stupid. There is a bobble and not a bobble. Not a bobble there. But there is apparently no common sense judgment allowed in the replay booth.

[Freddy Linn]

No, the red flag initiates the challenge, according to the rules.

The Head Coach will initiate a challenge by throwing a red flag onto the field of play before the next legal snap or kick.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

You can"microscopically" bobble all you want in the field of play, but if you want to make a catch on the sideline, you need to have complete control with two feet down. That's the way it should be.

 

[Oppo]

To me, that's not a bobble but readjusting his grip on the ball.
By the letter of the law a no catch but seems to be just like over analyzing the foot barely coming off the bag while sliding in baseball.

 

[staz]

Take the points.

 

[EricFeczko]

go for it

 

[mostman]

Triplette ruins everything.

[PedroKsBambino]

Roethlesberger really does hang in the pocket waiting for a play to develop---gotta admire that.

 

[dcmissle]

And here we go with the possibility of losing via 2 FGs

 

[Bellhorn]

Tomlin had them kick the FG? What an idiot!!!

 

[McBride11]

Agree. He had it. He moved his hands to further secure it.

 

[dcmissle]

Yeah. Totally old school.

 

[cshea]

Would've been more beneficial for Ben to throw it away rather than try and scramble it in.

 

[tims4wins]

The way their defense is playing I think that is a horrific decision by Tomlin... which of course is not surprising

 

[Sportsbstn]

With the way the Steelers defense has played today, they should have gone for it

 

[mauf]

Don't like the decision to kick the FG there. No confidence in the D to stop Seattle from picking up two first downs.

 

[EricFeczko]

I don't like the call with only two timeouts and how Seattle has beaten this steelers secondary in the 4th.

Of course, Pete here will probably call something stupid like three runs to contradict the logic of my prior sentence. Whatever.

 

[dcmissle]

Seattle has to throw here. Period. It is defenseless.

 

[mauf]

Would've been more beneficial for Ben to throw it away rather than try and scramble it in.

Only if he knew his coach wouldn't GFI. I would've kicked on 4th down from the 10; from the 4, I think he should've gone for the TD.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

But since Wilson can't win when his opponent scores 24 or more, you gotta figure the Steelers are fine either way, right?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Not sure about kicking it there, especially from the 3.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yeah. Totally old school.

Roman Gabriel.

 

[EricFeczko]

To be fair to Pete, that was audibled out of a pass play.

 

[mauf]

Penalty saves the Steelers some time too.

 

[staz]

3rd and long, gotta stop right here

 

[Stitch01]

Lololol kicking there. Lollolollolol at kicking there after faking earlier

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL nice call Tomlin.

 

[staz]

Welp.

 

[DanoooME]

FUCK YEAH

 

[dcmissle]

And there is your Steeler pass defense. Gotta throw it.

 

[EricFeczko]

*shakes his head*

It is like the coaches are TRYING to avoid winning.
