Week 11 Game Thread

[54thMA]

Unless he fumbles it? It wasn't a clean handle. I think it was a stupid play.

 
Even if he fumbles it, the Lions keep the ball.
 
Stupid rule by the way.
 

 

[Super Nomario]

They're good like Edelman is good. None of them do anything that, say, Cecil Shorts couldn't do with the same QB and system.

Nelson had 504 yards in 8 games last year that Rodgers missed. That's not as good as he was when Rodgers was there, obviously, but Scott Tolzein and Matt Flynn is a pretty significant downgrade. If he had an averageish guy like Cutler or Stafford or Dalton throwing to him, I think he'd still be really good.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Wasn't Jeremy Ross on our practice squad for a while?

 

[cshea]

That was a great heads up play by Ross. No risk there, the worst outcome was Lions ball on the 1.

Didn't know that. Thanks.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a stupid challenge. It's clear as day.

Really? Even if he fumbles 20 yards downfield?

 

[shawnrbu]

That's a stupid challenge. It's clear as day.

 
You're on a roll, Ed!

 

[Dollar]

That seems like a messed up replay decision.  They never rule it down at the 1 when that happens.

 

[Tony C]

terrible reversal

 

[Three10toLeft]

Wow.

What a terrible call.

 

[Senator Donut]

That's a stupid challenge. It's clear as day.

You were saying?

 

[Stitch01]

Boger is hilariously inept

 

[cshea]

Boger is the worst.

 

[Section15Box113]

What was the ruling there? Am in a sports bar and DET-ARI is muted... In favor of the f-ing GB game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a fucking terrible call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
You're on a roll, Ed!

 
That is a shitty call.

 

[cshea]

 
Really? Even if he fumbles 20 yards downfield?

Yes.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Shorts is pretty good -- I'm not suggesting they are replacement level. They just aren't as good as the conventional wisdom supposes.

 
 
Check out the chart on Nelson in this FO article.

I think they said the ARI player had possession of the ball at the 1, therefore the play is dead, according to Bogar's interpretation.

 

[brienc]

Wow, that reversal was bad as that grounding call on Orton on Thursday.

 

[Section15Box113]

That's some interpretation of possession.

Speechless.

 

[shawnrbu]

Will the Packers get taken to task by Dungy tonight for running up the score?

 

[coremiller]

Green Bay always looks great against less physical teams.  The book is out on them -- they are soft along the lines.  You just need to have the horses up front to push them around, which not everyone does.  It's how SF has beaten them four in a row, Seattle crushed them to start the season, Detroit has had success against them, Miami gave them trouble -- all those teams have very good defensive fronts.  

 

[Devizier]

Booger is the Donaghy of the NFL.

 

[Section15Box113]

I want two more Packers scores - through the air - to test exactly this.

Which tells me that Rodgers is gonna get right up in the Pats ass in 2 weeks. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

You gotta give Megatron a chance. He's not getting outjumped.

 

[Stitch01]

Good call by Caldwell terrible execution

 

[shawnrbu]

That's a bum throw.

 

[mikeford]

You punted on 4th and a foot but you'll go for it there. And run that play.
 
This team STINKS

 

[Cellar-Door]

Jim Caldwell.

And Stafford to me is a better version of Jay Cutler.

 

[cshea]

I don't agree with the decision to go there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

You were saying?

 
I left out the Bogar factor.

 

[Senator Donut]

 
I left out the Bogar factor.

Especially because he already fucked up the third down spot review

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good call by Caldwell terrible execution

 
Not sure it was a great call given how much trouble the Arizona offense has had in the second half. I would have definitely gone for the 4th and a foot, this one less sure.

 

[mauf]

And Stafford to me is a better version of Jay Cutler.

That's s good analogy. Obviously, the key question is "how much better?"

 

[Ed Hillel]

And I would kick the FG here.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

God ive missed mark Sanchez.

 

[shawnrbu]

108-27 last 2 games for Green Bay.

 

[redsoxcentury]

meanwhile FOX still showing GB and PHI here in New York.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Stafford is probably responsible for 10-15 sacks every year holding onto the ball too long.

 

[E5 Yaz]

meanwhile FOX still showing GB and PHI here in New York.

 
Sanchezfreude

 

[Ed Hillel]

Everyone moved but Stafford on that snap, looks like he fucked it up.

 

[vadertime]

How can you taunt in a game your losing and have struggled all game?

 

[Ed Hillel]

How can you taunt in a game your losing and have struggled all game?

 
He quickly flexed his muscles and ran away. I agree with you, but looked like another garbage call by Bogar's crew.

 

[brienc]

 
Sanchezfreude

And Phillyfreude. It's an intoxicating brew.

 

[E5 Yaz]

JOHN BROWN CAUGHT A FOUR-YARD PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

And Phillyfreude. It's an intoxicating brew.

 
It will be interesting to see their view of Foles now.
