2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 12
- Thread starter ifmanis5
- Start date
Has Kirk Cousins ever won a big game? He sure gets paid a ton to rack up empty stats. Guys like Cousins must drive Brady crazy.
Only the Vikings could use a high drat pick on a guy like Dalvin Cook, and when he finally gets healthy, they not only don't give him the ball on a key third and one, they sit him for the entire series, to let the big slow oaf Latavius Murray take his place. Apparently, Murray thinks it's a good move to turn your back and try to drive through tackles backwards on short yardage plays. There was a hole on the play, but like Blount, Murray was too slow to get to it anyway.

Doubt Tommy is losing any sleep
During which period they have played the Jets, Bills, Lions twice and Vikings.
He compared them to the “85 Bears last Sunday night.
Here ya go — crushed three-cone for a guy his size + 4.45 40

Every team but a handful whiffed entirely, and the few that didn’t still had no clue what they had.
ps ... CC is a company man to his bone marrow. He’ll tell you NFL teams don’t miss.
Bill missing on a white receiver is really unforgivable. He has been exploiting that market failure for years.
McCarthy on tilt.
Da fuq was Al talking about with the spotting of the ball there? Ref came in and signaled 4th down in a timely fashion.

I liked the shot at the ‘analytics guys’.
They couldn’t get a yard in two plays near midfield, but let’s blame ‘analytics guys’. Gotta trust your defense!!!

One of my college friends that I regularly talk to is from Wisconsin and a Packers fan. He has been done with McCarthy since the NFC championship loss to Seattle.
I always thought he was a bit crazy but i get it now. He would drive me crazy too.

If you guys don't know the story of the St. Brown brothers (Equanimeous plays WR for the Packers), check this out. They are basically the Lonzo Ball family of college football (although dad doesn't seem like as much of a dick as Levar):

So Cousins is clearly outplaying Rodgers, can’t wait to see all the excuses made for Rodgers.
Edit - I realize Cousins has better weapons, was just pointing out the current narrative that it never seems to Rodgers’ fault when his team loses.

Old enough to remember the pre-season when they were calling helmet-to-helmet penalties all the time. Once the season started the NFL decided to swallow the whistle and ignore most of it. Better for ratings.
I get that McCarthy isn’t the best coach in the league and may not even be a good coach. But if Rodgers really was the greatest to ever live, I would expect somewhat better performances by him even in losing efforts.
Bill had it right on 4th and 2 in Indy 9 years ago this month.
What he certainly didn’t realize then — and still may be behind the curve on — is that the rules have effectively minted another half dozen Peyton Mannings, and it is very frequently the right call today.
Don't forget this nugget:
Aaron Rodgers has never won a game against a team with an over .500 record when his team was behind by more than one point in the 4th quarter. 0-42 or something.

Awful. Just awful. Any fans complaining about the Patriots failings should look no further than that play right there.
It was 4th and 2. If you fail, Packers have to go a long distance to score. The game is basically over if GB does not score before 2:15.
