Week 8 Game Thread

[Dogman]

Where was the evidence the ball was over the plane?

 

[Section15Box113]

Just hideous.  Over and over.
 
And I'm still watching.

 

[eddiew112]

It's gonna be tough watching the Broncos game next week without breaking shit

 

[Rook05]

Where was the evidence the ball was over the plane?

Said the San Diego kick off team.

Edit: Now I'm posting angry.

 

[soxfanSJCA]

What a revolting Denver ball washing by way of officiating... 

 

[Norm Siebern]

Time to watch the Daily Show. At least that satire is on purpose.

 

[Section15Box113]

Get-ting-all-the-calls-to-night! 

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Unbelievably embarrassing officiating. Good thing it's a Thursday and no one's watching ...

 
Umm, except for the 16 million viewers they've been averaging this year.  Up 140% from last year.  And i imagine those numbers will be higher with Manning on tonight. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/10/17/thursday-night-football-ratings-on-cbsnfl-network-soar-with-triple-digit-increases/316472/

 

[Soxy]

Lots of bad calls at convenient times for Denver tonight.  I don't think it's a conspiracy, I just think NFL refs are largely incompetent and bad at their jobs.

 

[Dogman]

Check your sarcasm meter, Death.

I'm fairly certain he was being sarcastic.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

They'd need evidence that it wasn't to overturn the call on the field.  I didn't see any way they could overturn it.  When his back was to the camera, the ball could have been over the line. 
 
That said, no idea how the ref made the call in the first place because he had the same view we did.  He didn't make the call until the runner landed on his ass and at that point, the ball was in the end zone, but he was down way before that. 

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm fairly certain he was being sarcastic.

 
Sorry, didn't catch that.  I know that the lack of ratings up until this year when it was still on the NFL Network was a big topic of conversation. 

 

[soxhop411]

Omg a flag on Denver

 

[soxhop411]

I hope this shit stops once he retires

Isn't this also the first year it has been simulcast on CBS?  I'd have to imagine there are some people tuning in to watch Big Bang Theory or something, and get football instead.
 
edit: nevermind, it's been covered.

 

[gammoseditor]

This would be exciting if it weren't for the terrible call to take away the interception

 

[shawnrbu]

Antonio Gates for comeback player of the year.

 

[kartvelo]

SD would have had a good chance tonight with competent officiating.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Damn, this could have been a heck of a game.

 

[tims4wins]

That is roughing. Drove him into the ground. Obviously no call

 

[shawnrbu]

To hang with Denver in Denver, I think you have to go for 2 every single time and try at least one surprise onside kick.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If they overturn this somehow, I'm turning it off. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why did they call that one into the booth?

 

[ilol@u]

San Diego should be tied, if not winning, with the bullshit non-interception and the bullshit kickoff fumble. That fumble alone was a 14 point swing.

 

[Slow Rheal]

I'm fairly certain he was being sarcastic.

yep. anyway, this game totally sucks to watch, especially being a pats fan in CO.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oof, how do you give him a touchback? More teams should popping it between the levels and chasing the ball.

 

[tims4wins]

OMG

 

[Slow Rheal]

Unbelievable2.0

 

[ilol@u]

Once again. Lucky bounces. Denver is not that intimidating actually.

 

[Soxy]

Man, San Diego cannot buy a break in this game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is about over.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hillman should go back and screaming at Manning.

 

[tims4wins]

Alive

 

[ifmanis5]

Alive.

 

[shawnrbu]

Huge miss.
 
Prater was better.

 

[soxhop411]

No good!!

 

[Slow Rheal]

Suck it, mustache douche

 

[hunter05]

Idiot kicker

 

[Ed Hillel]

They may regret releasing Prater.

 

[ilol@u]

Wow. San Diego hanging in there.

 

[tims4wins]

Have you guys watched the Lions the last two weeks? Prater sucks

 

[riboflav]

I'm only half paying attention now, but did Denver really just attempt a FG from the 45 with a 14-point lead?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Have you guys watched the Lions the last two weeks? Prater sucks

What happened to him? Very strange.

 

[tims4wins]

What happened to him? Very strange.

Booze

He is 2-4 this year including a make off the upright from 21 yards. He has been horrible

 

[ifmanis5]

Welp.

 

[hunter05]

Stupid INT

 

[brandonchristensen]

Game

 

[tims4wins]

Gnight

 

[Slow Rheal]

Aqib with a mega hook

Maybe not, either way, stupid stupid stupid, Phil
