2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 12

[mauf]

This falcons team sure is something.

Quinn survive the season?

No one worth a damn is going to take that HC job if one bad season gets Quinn fired.

The Falcons’ talent level on D is pathetic. Not sure how much blame Quinn deserves for that — you’d think he’d have some say in personnel decisions, but the degree of HC input varies widely from team to team.

 

[dcmissle]

Everyone understands that the Falcons lost 4 defensive starters through week 2 of the season — and it hasn’t gotten any better. Right?

 

[shawnrbu]

Absolutely brutal INT by Eli.

 

[Rook05]

Andy Dalton looks done for the day.

 

[shawnrbu]

Browns going to get their first road win in 3 years.

 

[johnmd20]

Brawl in Buffalo versus Jacksonville. Lots of bodies flying around but nothing major happened.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Buffalo guy had to be held back by 6 guards or else he was going to kill Fournette.

 

[Oppo]

Jax deep pass to the 1, fight breaks out, Fournette ejected. So they’re 1st and goal from the 1. After 2 penalties and 2 sacks, Jax misses a FG. Next series, Buf scores a TD after 2 Jax personal fouls.

Beautiful

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Lamar Jackson has been pretty good. We might have to change the meaning of Flacco'd if Joe loses his job after an injury.

 

[Kliq]

Chris Carson came about an inch away from making the single greatest football play I’ve ever seen.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Chris Carson came about an inch away from making the single greatest football play I’ve ever seen.

What happened?

 

[johnmd20]

What happened?

Seriously. What a shitty fucking post.

 

[DJnVa]

Carolina DB should have let Lockett score.

 

[DJnVa]

Seriously. What a shitty fucking post.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Seriously. What a shitty fucking post.

He got upended and nearly landed on his feet. His knee hit...but he was also tackled within a yard...so no... it wasn't.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Giants played most of today with the lead, and Saquon only had 13 carries (for 101 yards). They blow the game late. If Saquon didn't get hurt, that's absolutely unconscionable by the coaching staff.

 

[DJnVa]

Browns nearing first road win in 3 seasons.

 

[DJnVa]

Bortles is 9 of 18 for 79 yards. They're about to be 3-8.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Bortles got Bortled by his receiver, off his hands, picked by Buffalo, and now Buffalo is inside the 10, with a 7 point lead and under 4 minutes to go.

Josh Allen is the leading rusher in the game for both teams, with like 98 yards.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Bortles is 9 of 18 for 79 yards. They're about to be 3-8.

Raaaaaamseeeeeyy... Raaaaaaammmmseeeeyyyy...

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Holy shit, a complete trip by the Eagles defender on OBJ there on the last play. How is that not a penalty? I didn't think you could literally trip a ball carrier?

 

[BaseballJones]

You can’t. It was as blatant a penalty as you’ll ever see. I believe it’s 10 yards and it would have given the Giants an untimed play from around the 50, and Eli has the arm strength for a Hail Mary there. I hate the Giants but they just got screwed on that play.

 

[Helmet Head]

Josh Allen is going to have an injury filled career if he continues to run like this

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Seriously that's not a tripping penalty?!?!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Even worse, the broadcast crew was praising the defender for making the "tackle."

 

[DJnVa]

Seriously that's not a tripping penalty?!?!

I'm surprised the crew in the NE game didn't throw a flag on it.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Arizona jumps out on top against San Diego. Wouldn't mind seeing San Diego take an unexpected loss somewhere coming home...

 

[Boston Brawler]

Doug Marrone has to be getting fired right? 7 straight losses, and this one to the Bills?

 

[snowmanny]

Doug Marrone has to be getting fired right? 7 straight losses, and this one to the Bills?

Keeping Bortles in a year when decent quarterbacks were switching teams all over the place was insane. But yeah.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Forget Marrone, this has to be the official end of the road for Marvin Lewis, right? That guy has had a million lives, but getting beat at home by the Browns must be the final nail in the coffin.

 

[mauf]

Keeping Bortles in a year when decent quarterbacks were switching teams all over the place was insane. But yeah.

His $19mm salary for this year became guaranteed when he couldn’t pass a physical in March.

Marrone gets one more year to turn this around.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Forget Marrone, this has to be the official end of the road for Marvin Lewis, right? That guy has had a million lives, but getting beat at home by the Browns must be the final nail in the coffin.

Hugh Jackson ready to take over. Nope, not kidding.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Life for Jax

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Life for Jax

Eh.

Onside kicks are all but impossible to get now.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Arizona driving again... inside the 29

 

[staz]

Only 9 more years until JAX next AFC Championship Game loss

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Steelers OL is quite good.

 

[eustis22]

is the steelers left tackle bigger than the pats left tackle?

 

[loshjott]

Yeesh I hate rooting for Denver. Why wasn’t that a flag on the block? I thought he hit the center.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Denver slapped on the throw back helmet decals for today and it looks awesome. Wish more teams would do that.

NFL teams can’t have multiple helmets like college teams do. They have to keep one, properly fitted helmet per player per season. But between games the helmets are touched up with paint and replacement decals. Teams should put a throwback decal on more often. Seeing Pat Patriot on a silver helmet would be a fun look, at least once.

 

[DJnVa]

Yeesh I hate rooting for Denver. Why wasn’t that a flag on the block? I thought he hit the center.

Because he was on LOS at snap and didn’t use arms/hands to create leverage.

 

[staz]

DEN unis makes them look like a Teletubby

 

[shawnrbu]

Lol @ Steelers

 

[soxin6]

Bahahahahaha

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Pitt fumbles going into the endzone. Denver ball

 

[staz]

Hell of a hit by Parks

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

What a defensive play that was by Parks of Denver.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

And that's how you lead with your shoulder.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Hahaha

 

[McBride11]

HAHAH. Awesome. Guess they finally learned in Denver what a fumble out of the end zone looks like. Ben Watson is happy.
