2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 11

[Conigliaro's Potential]

There’s video of two in this article; looks like one was the trickle the kicker follows and fights for, the other just slam it straight at a LB and have him muff it.

Having read that Ringer article last week, I seriously think a smart NFL coach should train one of his fastest players - a backup wide receiver, maybe - to dribble straight and short onside kicks and chase them up the middle. It can't take *that* much skill to dribble an onside kick 10 yards, can it? Under the current rules, that has to be the option with the greatest chance of success.

(I agree with everyone else who says that the kickoff rules should be changed in the offseason to provide an onside kick exception. Who doesn't love onside kicks?)

NFL did not pick Boger for Chiefs@Rams

[normstalls]

How big was Andy Reid as a 13 yr old?!?!?

 

[staz]

Freakishly huge

 

[staz]

Fireworks in LA, great idea

 

[McBride11]

No way that play was a PI the play before Cooks run

 

[Freddy Linn]

How is that unsportsmanlike?

 

[Bergs]

How is that unsportsmanlike?

Seriously. What's the guy supposed to do?

 

[normstalls]

How is that unsportsmanlike?

Just an absolutely horrible call

 

[staz]

GMC ad, drink

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

I want LA to win but those two calls, the PI and the Unsportsmanlike were just ridiculous. We would be pissed if they called them against the Pats.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

LAR need to go to a two point play next score, need to make up that missed XP

 

[Al Zarilla]

Fireworks in LA, great idea

Can’t even barbecue up where I live.

 

[shawnrbu]

3rd and 3 or 2nd and 9. Chiefs decline penalty and take 3rd and 3.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Probably won’t matter but why not accept the penalty for the extra down vs 2 yards?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

My bad thought it was 2nd and 10

 

[shawnrbu]

The Rams have 7 1st Round picks in their Front 7. Holy crap.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Chiefs offense has been skittish early in their prime time games v Denver, NE, and LAR. They always round into form but that can make the difference if you dig a hole.

 

[Van Everyman]

That was the impressive double face mask with two different hands.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The Rams have 7 1st Round picks in their Front 7. Holy crap.

I thought I saw that 3 out of their front 4 were first round picks.

 

[staz]

The AFC 1-seed looks like shit

 

[tims4wins]

Chiefs D sucks. But let’s panic about the Pats

 

[tims4wins]

Is that incomplete in 2017?

 

[shawnrbu]

The Chargers have to be absolutely kicking themselves for losing that game to Denver yesterday.

 

[McBride11]

Brady was absolutely jacked in that weird graphic

 

[steveluck7]

9 minutes in we have
9 flags against
2 TDs against
1 burned time-out
1 delay of game

Not exactly ready for prime time tonight

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Brady was absolutely jacked in that weird graphic

 

[Marciano490]

What was the over on this?

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

What was the over on this?

Climbed to 63 when I checked earlier

Edit - opened at 64, not 62 so technically it fell

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Who the hell was Joyner...the safety covering on that play?

 

[Bergs]

What was the over on this?

63.5

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Chiefs D sucks. But let’s panic about the Pats

Both of these teams have shitty secondaries

 

[tims4wins]

Chiefs D can only get stops via penalty or missed PATs

 

[BaseballJones]

This game is going to be insane. And they both scare me to death, but the reality is, their defenses aren't any better than New England's. Going into tonight's game (which will not help either of their defensive numbers):

Team - Points Rank, PPG allowed
NE - #15, 23.6
LAR - #12, 23.1
KC - #17, 24.0

And when the Pats' offense is clicking, they can score with anyone.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Goff is really good guys

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Chiefs lucky as hell to not have given up three TD in that quarter

 

[BigSoxFan]

Jared Goff fantasy owners are going to be happy people tonight

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Eric Murray. most obvious PI I've ever seen

 

[DeadlySplitter]

you can challenge a flag? is this new?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That tipped ball also saves them.

Should be 21-7

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

I didn’t know this was a reviewable play.

 

[shawnrbu]

you can challenge a flag? is this new?

Not new. This and too many men on the field.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Goff is really good guys

Tall, quick release, accurate, plenty of arm for the deep balls...As soon as they brought McVay in, it all showed up.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Pats have no chance to go toe to toe with either of these teams without a fully heathy Gronk.

 

[dcmissle]

Mahomes is really good too. Assuming health, these teams are set for 10 years+

 

[j-man]

Von Miller is so ridiculously fast for a man his size.

If Denver would recognize two things, they'd be a much better team.

Philip Lindsay is their most explosive player, and needs to get more touches.

They need to run the fucking ball. They are #1 in the NFL at 5.2ypc. They are 21st in the NFL with 221 rushing attempts coming into today. Today, they are averaging 7.2ypc, and yet, they have 12 rushes, and 20 passes.

Just run the ball, and do it with Lindsay, and profit.

+ 1000 Elway and his hard on for tall qb's that cant throw or QB'S that need to be in a zone-run system or puppt coaches

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

flag flag flag flag flag

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

I want to love this game, but the number of penalties being called are out of fucking control.

 

[Marciano490]

Hey we have a marquee matchup of two high octane fun offenses on Monday night. How can we mess that up? Flaggity flag flag.
