Week 13 NFL Game Thread

[JOBU]

Speaking of the league ruining games (kind of) when did they implement instant replay into games? I seem to recall late 90’s obviously it was there for the tuck rule in 2001 playoffs. The reason I ask is I was watching highlights of the bills giants super bowl in 1991(I think that was the year). Any way in the highlights the refs actually went to instant replay for a catch review on the bills final drive. I had no recollection at the time as I was only 7 years old. Replay wasn’t instituted at that time was it? Maybe only for playoff games?? What’s the answer?

 

[shawnrbu]

Instant replay was around from 85 to 92. It went away for a number of years and returned in 99.

 

[patinorange]

It may not be Seattle’s day.

 

[heavyde050]

WOW. What a bad play by Seattle. Wilson had an easy TD that became an interception tip drill.

 

[DanoooME]

That play was a microcosm of the Seattle offense.

 

[cshea]

The Steelers run like 3 plays. Najee inside run, go routes and the occasional screen.

Thanks. Guess that’s why I thought it was introduced late 90’s

 

[cshea]

Lousy punt.

 

[DanoooME]

Holy shit, the corpse of Carlos Dunlap with a safety? What's this world coming to?

 

[snowmanny]

Met in 1979 too same result. Weird comment

ED- Al talked about Pittsburgh and Baltimore being great sports towns and that Pirates beat Orioles in 7 games in the 1971 World Series.

Zero diversity or adjustments.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

"Tenecious" effort by Watt... As the replay shows he stopped perusing for a second or 2.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Johnson was a half yard past the first down marker and they ruled it second down. Christ.

 

[johnmd20]

Jimmy G just cannot do that. Awful.

 

[patinorange]

Jimmy G with a second bad pick.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Zero diversity or adjustments.

So true

 

[DanoooME]

Thank goodness Jimmy G sucks.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

If #18 made the slightest effort to block there for Steelers, Claypool gets a TD.

edit: that’s Diontae Johnson… and then he gets one himself. Terrible job by NFL karma gods.

 

[ngruz25]

How in the world does a receiver get so open inside the 30 yard line.

LMAO that PAT. Holy moly.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

LMFAO nice extra point attempt Steelers.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Of course he missed the PAT.

Baltimore is the most bullshit 8-3 team in recent memory.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Ha ha, of course. Losing the game and tumbling further down the standings is really the best thing that could happen to this franchise.

 

[mostman]

Lol

 

[shawnrbu]

Horseshoe.

 

[axx]

Juust a bit outside

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable BEN Roethlisberger!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Super shanked PAT, that's a new one on the Ravens' list of bullshit

 

[Bergs]

That might be the worst XP attempt ever.

 

[Dogman]

Wow that was not good.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I have never seen a team with a horseshoe shoved further up its collective ass than the Ravens this year.

 

[johnmd20]

Of course he missed the PAT.

Baltimore is the most bullshit 8-3 team in recent memory.

The Steelers were 11-0 last year. They were not good.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Steelers were 11-0 last year. They were not good.

Good one, now I remember laughing my ass off at some scattered undefeated talk.

 

[axx]

They really need to stop calling PI on balls that are that underthrown

 

[shawnrbu]

Refball!

 

[johnmd20]

God damn, that flag against the Steelers is tough.

These long passes that are way way short that always turn into PI are really a problem.

 

[cshea]

Flacco special.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Bad throw gets rewarded

 

[Fred in Lynn]

That ball was not catchable

 

[Section15Box113]

Ridiculous number of bounces continue to go Baltimore’s way this season. Wow.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

The Ravens are awful. I can’t believe they’ve won 8 games.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Other 49ers are now playing shitty in sympathy with Jimmy.

 

[shawnrbu]

Didn’t know Rob Ryan is with the Ravens.

 

[mr_smith02]

What happens now...Steelers go three and out or Steelers score way too quickly?

 

[johnmd20]

SF bailed out by an illegal snap penalty.

 

[Euclis20]

God damn, that flag against the Steelers is tough.

These long passes that are way way short that always turn into PI are really a problem.

I can't imagine a way to not penalize defenses for running through underthrown passes, but getting rid of the spot foul seems like a no-brainer to me. College has defensive PI as a spot foul only up to 15 yards, which may start to shift the risk/reward of these deep passes. For the life of me I don't get why ticky tack 40 yard penalties are allowed.

 

[cshea]

What happens now...Steelers go three and out or Steelers score way too quickly?

12 minutes left…probably not possible to score too quickly.

 

[mr_smith02]

12 minutes left…probably not possible to score too quickly.

You're right...I thought there was less time.

 

[DanoooME]

Noticeable lack of enthusiasm for Pete's cheerleading. One more nail in the coffin, I hope.

 

[bigq]

The incomparable BEN Roethlisberger!

I would have gone with Been.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I would have gone with Been.

Now I wish I did. Well done, sir.
