Wild Card Weekend game thread (non-Pats)

[staz]

Spygate? That happened during, like, the Nixon administration. And the Pats did, in fact, break the rules. A dumb rule but they broke it.

And deflategate was bad, but it wasn't a call on the field.

So the NFL doesn't hate the Pats?

Ok. You win. LOL

 

[tims4wins]

This is getting the vibe of an ugly shit-fest game, where the inferior team hangs around long enough to steal one.

Which team is inferior? If not for the refs the Raiders might have the lead

 

[axx]

Raiders needed that stop there.

 

[johnmd20]

What a job by Mixon there.

That was phenomenal.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Well, I'd say overall roster and health it's the Bengals, but you're right. They haven't been scintillating either.

He was pretty clearly talking about on the field stuff, mainly officiating. And no, the Pats haven't been one of the teams that consistently get the short end of the stick of calls

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Raiders can survive anything here but a long TD drive.

The refs are the inferior team.

 

[loshjott]

Burrow hasn’t been so good throwing wide all night.

 

[cornwalls@6]

The refs are the inferior team.

Winner!

Thank you. Jesus, it's not that difficult to understand.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Would love to pair a young receiver as good (or roughly as good) as Chase is with Mac next year. Fat chance, though.

 

[rodderick]

At some point you just sell out to stop Chase, no?

 

[staz]

Thank you. Jesus, it's not that difficult to understand.

100%

NFL hates the Pats off the field, while not hating the Pats on the field. I got it now.

 

[johnmd20]

At some point you just sell out to stop Chase, no?

You can't, because then Higgins gets touchdowns. It's a great offense, except for the line.

 

[Marciano490]

This is the first time I’ve heard Brees. He’s very good.

Bengals took crap for drafting him over Sewell. The O-line isn't great, but Chase proved to be the right choice

Please, go on and continue being obnoxious and obtuse.

Lol. Ghoff is officially your mortal enemy.

 

[luckiestman]

Officials hate the Pats, Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox, and Revs. It’s an open conspiracy.

Sugar Bear would disagree

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

STACKED-UP!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Yes, without question. I'm hoping that the Pats can draft someone 80% as good in a few months.

 

[axx]

Ooh you gotta kick it but I'd still be tempted.

 

[AB in DC]

Burrow is quietly having a very solid game.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Man, they really suck at conspiracies.

 

[BaseballJones]

A Raider DT lined up clearly in the neutral zone on that last 3rd down run. Right at the football too. No flag. Refs weren't hating the Raiders on that play.

 

[mauf]

Gotta kick it.

 

[CFB_Rules]

LOL Tirico clearly pissed at Boger over-using the microphone

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Go up 2 scores. Kick it

 

[Remagellan]

I would kick here.

 

[Marciano490]

Lol. Ghoff is officially your mortal enemy.

And we once talked of a sanitizer wipes for gym access swap.

 

[Average Reds]

Gotta kick it.

Yup. Even if they get it, it’s a mistake.

Edit: the attempt to draw the offsides is fine.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Officials hate the Pats, Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox, and Revs. It’s an open conspiracy.

I first read "Revs" as "Ravens" and I was about to hunt you down...

 

[luckiestman]

Man, they really suck at conspiracies.

Some would even say inept

 

[Gunfighter 09]

They definitely won't. Burrow has swagger. Carr does not. The NFL likes swagger. And the calls will reflect that.

Yeah, the NFL is desperate for cool guys like Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson or Nick Foles to win Super Bowls.

I look forward to your "Eli had swagger" take.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Gotta kick here I think. Let it go down to 6:40 and then you have to kick.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Wasted TO there

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wasted T

Totally. Just take the 5 yards.

 

[Gunfighter 09]

This is the first time I’ve heard Brees. He’s very good.

Agreed. Other than " they call it every time"

 

[PseuFighter]

take the points.

 

[mauf]

Yup. Even if they get it, it’s a mistake.

Edit: the attempt to draw the offsides is fine.

Yeah, the hard count was a good call. Very unlikely that timeout comes back to bite them.

 

[luckiestman]

Big Dick Nick, Swaggy E, Joe Cool? Only straight edge guy is Russ.

 

[Gash Prex]

Why was this even a thing? Just go up 2 scores with 7 min to go

 

[cornwalls@6]

Good call Cinnci.

 

[Remagellan]

Wasted TO there

About the only reason to take it was in case the Raiders jumped on the FG attempt, which seemed like a very small chance.

 

[Marciano490]

Agreed. Other than " they call it every time"

Everyone needs a catchphrase.

Anal sex and spiders!

 

[tims4wins]

I’ll defend the timeout. In this weather 5 yards may matter.

Edit to be clear the kick was perfect, but if he doinks it from 33 everyone asks “why no timeout”

 

[bsj]

Whistle was late enough. Probably not technically the correct call but I think the right call.

But why in earth did he blow the whistle? Burrow wasn't that close. Inexcusable.

i dont think the rulebook allows for this

 

[cornwalls@6]

That's name of the show replacing This is Us.
