2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 13

Is it normal for teams to play on two Thursdays in a row? Obviously, they get the same amount of time of and all that, just found it odd.
Happened last year - Washington & Dallas played a week after Thanksgiving, both had played on Thanksgiving.
Edit: And in 2016, same deal MIN/DAL, and 2015, GB/DET.
It's normal for teams that play on Thanksgiving to play the following Thurs. Otherwise, not so much.
I could see a weird game where both offenses move the ball but the final score isn't that crazy because each side only has 8 or 9 possessions.
I think that’s Dallas’ best hope, if this is a 12-13 possession game on both sides they’re probably fucked.
Not a bad opening drive by Dallas there, couple big plays to keep it going, but it stalls in the red zone.
All that said, if they can't get Zeke going, they're in trouble. Saints defense looks too fast for their offensive line right now, and the holes are closing before Zeke can get to them, but they are stacking the line enough that if Zeke can find a hole, he could take one or two to the house tonight.

I don't think it's that crazy. I think Dallas' defense is very, very underrated. Can they handle an offense like the Saints? We'll see, but at home, their defense plays as well as anyone's. The Dallas offense is the question mark. They have to figure out a way to put at least 24-27 points on the board.
Wow, that's even fucking worse. They originally called it on #71, when he clearly wasn't holding. They then changed it to #73, I rewound it and watched it again and I think it might have made it an even worse call.
Any time the Saints hand the ball off to Mark Ingram, instead of running Kamara or passing with Brees, their opponents should send them a gift basket.
Any time the Cowboys do the same with Rod Smith, instead of Elliott, they should send a pony.

Taysom Hill continues to suck. Still gets ballwashed every time he is on the screen. Truly the Eckstein of the NFL.
If Dallas continues to play like this tonight, I wonder if all my Dak haters will start turning the other way.
Dak is a good quarterback folks. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he's gotten better and better since they actually gave him Amari Cooper, and the offensive line got a little healthier. I argued then, and I'll argue now that nobody could have succeeded with the skill position flotsam and jetsam he was trying to play with early in the season.

He’s fine but don’t think this is the best matchup for Ingram. Running a screen with him over Kamara is especially dumb.
First time in his career that Drew Brees started 0-4 passing.
And Cooper puts the ball on the ground. Unreal.

Yeah, he's "fine." Kamara is "unreal" and Brees is "incredible" and their receiving corps is "fantastic."
Leave "fine" on the bench.
Are they only out of challenges if this one fails, or do they still get another one if they get it overturned? They just insinuated that they would only be out of challenges if the call stood, but I thought they only had one left no matter what after getting the first one wrong.
This is correct, they’re done after this one.
Not sure it’s worth it here, it’s second and ten if that’s incomplete.
Ok, he's out of challenges. I thought so, but going into the break, that's definitely not what he said.
Payton is calling a shitty game. Kamara waltzes in on 3rd down if he’s the first read instead of the last.
