If that was Pats/Ravens, is there any question that Flacco gets a PI call on that play?

 

[Dogman]

DID HE JUST SAY RODGERS GETS THE BALL OUT OF HIS HAND ABOUT AS QUICK AS ANYONE? 
 
 
SARCASM?

 
ARGUABLE

I thought it should have been called.  The DB over the top hand prevents Jordy from getting his left arm up.

 

[Harry Hooper]

There's no assault a DB could commit that will draw a flag the rest of the way, right?

 

[dcmissle]

So you can get the Chargers and 10 points next weekend

And you can get the Colts and 7.5

One of these wagers is better than the other

I don't know. Both defensive players were facing the ball.

 

[Dogman]

Nice stop

Yeah, I've seen much less than that called, especially for a home team in the postseason. It would have been total bs though.

Hmmmm which one? Not intuitively clear to me actually (I'd take both dogs at gunpoint)

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nice stop

Length of field  80 yard drive looks close to impossible for the packers though.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Wow, Francesa is way fatter than I imagined.

 

[dcmissle]

Punt blocks. They very seldom happen compared to years ago. Or it seems that way. Why?

I honestly don't know which you mean?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Rushing attempts are more important than actually gaining yards running the ball?  Ok, Troy.

So if you're facing the ball you can pull the receiver's pants down?

Scared money never wins.
 
Pack just running it down the throat. I like the plan. Keep pounding the body.

 

[twibnotes]

I wonder if Nick Saban is surprised by the huge difference in production bw Richardson and Lacy

 

[Jnai]

This game is fucking painful to watch.

Betting the NFL is a fool's errand

Hocuil was like, FUCK IT, that's a first, let's move the chains.

I thought Aikman said mike McCarthy said that (that attempts mattered)

Even worse, then.  He's supposed to be a coach.

 

[johnmd20]

?

 
It's a gambler's term. You said you would take the dogs at gunpoint. i.e. a pick made out of fear. And scared money never wins.

 

[Dogman]

Power football

My wife is still laughing at the phrase "penetration in the the backfield".

The Pack are not a man. They are a machine. Like a piece of iron.

Bb talked this week about how the snapper didn't use to be part of the protection until Steve DeOssie. Wonder if that has something to do with it. Worth a read of the transcript, was an interesting discussion of that and other topics. The link is in another thread (Pats and the media I think?)

That vixen.

Alex Baldwin hosting the NFL honors? Seems like a step down for him. HEH.

By rule change, you can't crash the long snapper any more.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

From what I've seen called, yeah, pretty much.

Well I haven't exactly handicapped the game yet. Smart money just doesn't bet if there's not bet there.

I expect ill end up teasing Sea/NE if the line moves as expected.

CATCH THE FUCKING BALL JONES.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Catch the ball!

COME ON JONES

Yes it is.

 

[bball831]

Jesus Jones...catch the ball

 

[Ed Hillel]

4 downs in this weather, I would think.

 

[dcmissle]

I honestly don't know which you mean?

Interesting. If all of these teams just "do their jobs" -- I see the Chargers game much closer than 10. Would not be a bit surprised by outright Chargers win. Line for Pats/ Indy seems reasonable to me.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Catch the bowel.

Nah.  3 is better than none.

Think the Pats line is high through the key 7 number though

 

[ypioca]

What a pussy call that is.

 

[dcmissle]

Omg

 

[johnmd20]

OMG. Championship play.
