Week 17 NFL Game Thread - What day of the week is it?

[shawnrbu]

Brutal beat for Broncos +3.5.

 

[Ale Xander]

yay next week may matter after all

 

[luckiestman]

Burrow, what a god

 

[jsinger121]

I’d offer Higgins 35 million per year with a ton of guaranteed money.

 

[Remagellan]

So what's Cincy need next week?

I think win, Bronco loss, and Dolphins and Colts loss or tie in either of their two remaining games.

 

[luckiestman]

Giants need to beat the fucking Colts. I don’t know if I can stomach them in the playoffs.

 

[DJnVa]

Does he pose after every catch?

Who cares? Sign him and hope he poses 90 times.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Dunno how much you see KC go for the game next week, and Cincy needs to beat Pitt next week and Indy and Miami to each lose one of their last two games.

Too little, too late, I think.

 

[DJnVa]

I think win, Bronco, Dolphins, and Colts loss or tie (in either of their games.)

Well, Chiefs are likely resting some folks, so Denver has a shot there.

 

[DanoooME]

Lets go Cardinals! Give the Seahawks a chance!

 

[shawnrbu]

So what's Cincy need next week?

Broncos, Colts and Dolphins to lose.

 

[RoDaddy]

I’d offer Higgins 35 million per year with a ton of guaranteed money.

Yeah he's headed for a big payday and I hope it's us paying him

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Giants need to beat the fucking Colts. I don’t know if I can stomach them in the playoffs.

Works for me.

 

[Remagellan]

Well, Chiefs are likely resting some folks, so Denver has a shot there.

Normally I could see the Chiefs playing their starters for a half, but they might want to keep the Bengals out of the playoffs.

 

[EddieYost]

York doinking the other goalpost.

winner

 

[E5 Yaz]

Giants need to beat the fucking Colts. I don’t know if I can stomach them in the playoffs.

Flacco starting for Indy

 

[Remagellan]

Kurt Warner looks magnificent in that coat and tie. I guess it's cold there.

 

[Remagellan]

Flacco starting for Indy

Tua is also doubtful for the Dolphins.

 

[j-man]

So what's Cincy need next week?

den mia indy loss and beat pitt

 

[j-man]

Dunno how much you see KC go for the game next week, and Cincy needs to beat Pitt next week and Indy and Miami to each lose one of their last two games.

Too little, too late, I think.

kc will rest everyone if denver cant beat carson wentz they dont devence to make it

 

[j-man]

to ciny fans great game great win but beat ne in week 1

 

[Remagellan]

to ciny fans great game great win but beat ne in week 1

Cincy has had a whole spate of games they could have/should have won. This one was almost added to that list.

 

[luckiestman]

I kind of hate Zac Taylor the same way I kind of hate myself. Dude doesn’t feel alive unless he is digging out of a hole. The action is the juice.

 

[Vandalman]

Kyler Murray looks like Danny DeVito compared to O and D linemen.

 

[JCizzle]

Kyler complaining about being tackled when he just ran the play like a RB. What a loser.

yeah but they dont have a right to coplain when u lose to mayo

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

yeah but they dont have a right to coplain when u lose to mayo

Oof. Firm, but fair.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Why wasn't a play that close automatically reviewed inside 2 minutes?

"Because the NFL is a fuckshow, guys." - Gene Steratore, essentially

 

[patinorange]

No replay on the blocked PAT?

 

[Ale Xander]

Arizona needs to ask for another second on the clock to get another TO

Home field operator

 

[Ale Xander]

bingo

but incomplete so no savings for Zona

 

[E5 Yaz]

Zac Taylor goes into detail about his decisions at the end of regulation for the Bengals. Don't know if I agree with what he did, but he was very forthright about the decision-making process.

[Ale Xander]

Run that play on 1st not 2nd, idiots

 

[Ale Xander]

no harm

plenty of time for zona, just move the ball

 

[Ale Xander]

wow

should have ran it

plenty of time

 

[DanoooME]

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is that a catch?

Looked like a trap

 

[luckiestman]

Takes me back to Bucs Rams NFC championship

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I think the ground helped him secure it. No catch for me, but the league will disagree.

 

[nattysez]

I don't think that's a catch.

 

[Van Everyman]

How does Gene say that’s a catch with a straight face?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Witherspoon should play on offense. Wowzers!

 

[shoosh77]

Great play by Witherspoon

 

[patinorange]

Tough one. I think they count it.

 

[ifmanis5]

I mean, Admiral Ackbar right there.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How does Gene say that’s a catch with a straight face?

Because it wuz

 

[luckiestman]

How does Gene say that’s a catch with a straight face?

I’m not listening, ball doesn’t move, this was a big deal the year the Rams won the SB against Titans, I think it led to a rule change

 

[nattysez]

McBride has been a stud all day and takes one off the noggin to lose the game. That's a tough one to swallow.

Edit - he looks really upset on the bench.

 

[Van Everyman]

Because it wuz

I mean, the idea that he secured it is ridiculous. It hits the ground 0.1 seconds from the time he squeezed it.

It was a trap.

 

[E5 Yaz]

should have ran it

I think this is right
