Week 6 Gamethread

[Mystic Merlin]

I now invite those predicting the Pats would get one of the top few picks to comment.

 

[E5 Yaz]

There shouldnt be film. Only courtroom sketch artists.

Lynn Johnston could do it justice

 

[Marciano490]

That guy needs a snickers.

 

[cornwalls@6]

I wonder how far Al will go. He has no fucks to give.

Agree. He basically said best outcome is for Snyder to sell. Don’t think virtually any other NFL game broadcaster would go there.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oof, that's a rough drop

 

[8slim]

Fields may not be good, but it’s tough to tell with the garbage they’ve surrounded him with.

 

[JOBU]

Every given Sunday and all… but I guess as pats fans we shouldn’t worry about the bears game coming up.

 

[Marciano490]

Agree. He basically said best outcome is for Snyder to sell. Don’t think virtually any other NFL game broadcaster would go there.

Really? Sounds like he’s voicing the party line. Did he shit talk Snyder about any of this before?

 

[moondog80]

Inexplicable delay of game penalties are up like 1000% this year.

 

[mauf]

Once they took the delay of game, I think the Bears should’ve punted instead of going for 4th and 16.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fields may not be good, but it’s tough to tell with the garbage they’ve surrounded him with.

This. That was a good ball.

 

[chilidawg]

I'm feeling much better about the Patriots offense after having watched a quarter of this game.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Really? Sounds like he’s voicing the party line. Did he shit talk Snyder about any of this before?

Don’t know. But he also called Snyder a major problem for the league. Tame for us, and for columnists, etc. But I do think most PBP guys would just milquetoast it.

Better chance of a muff.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

And as an extreme example, Joe Tessitore would’ve said just about nothing.

 

[Marciano490]

Joey can’t make this.

 

[E5 Yaz]

He knows the six people still watching are too drunk to remember what he said

Im waiting for him to trash the league or go beyond football.

 

[joe dokes]

Shocking!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Is Herbstreit advocating for a punt there?

And how convenient to wait for the miss.

 

[Ale Xander]

CSI was really good

 

[OnWisc]

I like how Herbstreit is acting like the clock is a factor. They could have 10 minutes and 10 timeouts for this drive and the outcome wouldn’t change.

 

[Marciano490]

Fields is tough. Good for him.

 

[Ale Xander]

that had to be the best play of the game, huh?

 

[joe dokes]

Just when the game is poised for some world class clockfuckery, the colanders shit their pants.

Edit: not changing the typo.

And Bears are fucking it up without my help.

 

[Gash Prex]

I think Fields is terrible and so are the bears

 

[8slim]

My God these play calls and execution.

 

[Ale Xander]

What’s the call????

 

[Marciano490]

Wow tough ending.

 

[Ale Xander]

They can still tie with a safety and then a field
Goal

 

[Marciano490]

Seemed like PI on the play before.

 

[8slim]

How do you not make sure that ball is in the end zone?

 

[Ale Xander]

No, Al, you don’t take an intentional safety

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It’s not irrelevant, Kirk, you don’t wanna snap from the half yard line.

Why the hell wasn’t that reviewed for whether it was a catch?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

What a bad, bad game.

 

[Mugsy’s Walk-Off Bunt]

Ultimately, that was an incomplete pass.

 

[Ale Xander]

Clearly oob

 

[joe dokes]

How do you not make sure that ball is in the end zone?

It would have been if he'd caught it....

 

[OnWisc]

Seemed like PI on the play before.

Yeah. Herbstreit saying it was two guys “fighting for the ball” when it was clearly one guy going for the ball and another guy hooking his arm doesn’t really convince me.

 

[joe dokes]

What a bad, bad game.

Worse than last week? I really can't decide.

 

[8slim]

It would have been if he'd caught it....

Mayyybe. An extra step in wouldn’t have hurt.

 

[joe dokes]

Mayyybe. An extra step in wouldn’t have hurt.

Oh yeah. Still not the greatest call. And the jump balls like that are usually much deeper. The ones at the goal line are usually bullets.

 

[joe dokes]

The RB was wide open on the swing pass to the left on the last play. No defender in sight.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Yup, and the only corner over there followed the receiver when he made his cut inside. It would have been a walk in TD.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Belichick's PC next week when he talks the Bears up is going to be fun. "We've got out work cut out for us this week. The Bears are great in all three phases, coached extremely well, smart and athletic QB, fast and sure-handed receivers . . "

 

[shawnrbu]

Wentz moves to 7-0 in Thursday games.

He should just talk about Roquan Smith for twenty minutes.

 

[MuzzyField]

That was painful. Thankfully, the NHL quad box on ESPN+ makes up for it.

Listen to Bears fans. Their universal booing is spot on.

Hit a bomb, be an elite runner, and suck at being an NFL QB… the defense of that is the focus of out Prime ball-washing ass-kissing post game show.

Herb did his share during the game.

 

[joe dokes]

Or Bronko Nagurski.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Rivera just threw a shitfit at the presser over people criticizing Wentz….uhhhhhhhh
