Week 11 Game Thread

[riboflav]

Carpenter nails it.
 
:q:

 
I laughed a lot harder than this joke deserved.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was Broncos level OPI.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol the blitzing defender just fell over.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Miami dangerously close to pulling within 3.

 

[Senator Donut]

Anyone have a link to an old Canadian Football League game?

Hope you like Gus Johnson

 

[riboflav]

At the 6, odds they score a TD?

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was an awful throw.

 

[ShaneTrot]

Every throw is 6 yards down the field.

ZZzzzzzzz

And idiots say Brady cannot throw deep.

 

[ivanvamp]

Who are we rooting for in this game?

 

[ShaneTrot]

Who are we rooting for in this game?

A tie

 

[Ed Hillel]

Who are we rooting for in this game?

 
Doesn't matter.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

So no good streaming links?

 

[Ed Hillel]

It's basically impossible to leave someone more wide open in the end zone from the 6 yard line.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hmmm

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Damn, who knew Baltimore had a CFL franchise?

 

[Ed Hillel]

What???

 

[mikeford]

So no good streaming links?

vipbox links have been trash all night  :rex:

 

[Ed Hillel]

That is the worst grounding call I have ever seen.

 

[riboflav]

There are a LOT of dumb rules in football but this might be the dumbest. And, it goes against player safety.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What a horseshit call, and Mike Carey is an idiot.

 

[ifmanis5]

That's insane.

 

[ethangl]

Pretty impressive for a drive to start at the 20 and end in a safety. That's rare.
 
I use "drive" in the loosest sense of the word, of course.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Ball don't lie!

 

[Ed Hillel]

So if a ball is thrown 30 yards out of bounds, the receiver is in the area, but that is grounding.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Back to a FG battle.  Nice.

 

[riboflav]

A missed route doesn't protect him? Then, why is it called INTENTIONAL grounding?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Did the punter touch that ball while out of bound? That would be lol.

 

[54thMA]

Miami reels off 9 strait points; what a fucking juggernaut they are.
 
Then they fumble the free kick.
 
The thought of this well oiled machine led by blood and guts Philbin coming here in January for a playoff game scares the daylights out of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If Carey correctly described the rule, it's not a terrible call. If the relevant question is where the receiver is when the ball lands, and a missed route doesn't excuse grounding, that's not a crazy call. But that shouldn't be the rule. It should be where the receiver is when the ball was thrown.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Terrible call, clearly touched the punter while it was loose.

 

[Silverdude2167]

If you punt a free kick out of bounds does it go to the 40 like a kickoff?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Terrible call, clearly touched the punter while it was loose.

 
Yeah, but I think they're saying that the other player secured it first.

 

[Dollar]

FinsTown

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
Yeah, but I think they're saying that the other player secured it first.

 
But it was still loose, it took a few seconds for the first guy to actually gain possession.

 

[riboflav]

It should be where the receiver is when the ball was thrown.

 
Or split the rule into two: unintentional grounding and intentional grounding.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

 
But it was still loose, it took a few seconds for the first guy to actually gain possession.

 
Oh, I didn't see that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If you punt a free kick out of bounds does it go to the 40 like a kickoff?

 
I believe the actual rule is that it's 25 yards from where the kickoff is. So I think it actually would have gone to the Miami 45, since free kicks are from the 20?

 

[riboflav]

Collective groan from the NFL Offices and advertisers.

 

[RIrooter09]

Which team wants it less?

 

[bigsid05]

LOL Billstown!
 
Not sure either team really wants to win this  game...

 

[brienc]

The Scott Norwoord Special.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Collective groan from the NFL Offices and advertisers.

 
It's the only reason they even keep kickoffs now.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If you punt a free kick out of bounds does it go to the 40 like a kickoff?

I believe it goes 30 yards from the kick. So, the 50.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's 30 yards on a safety kick for some reason.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kyle WIlliams just threw Miller ahead 3 yards.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Looked like perfect coverage live.

 

[eddiew112]

What an awful call

 

[Ed Hillel]

That is fucking terrible.

 

[gammoseditor]

Illegal playing of defense.

 

[RIrooter09]

Terrible fucking call.
