Divisional Round Gamethread

[Ale Xander]

And he knocked
Down his teammate too

 

[DanoooME]

43 will be cut in 3...2...1...

Actually any player that "tackles" like that should be cut.

 

[troparra]

That is the worst play in all of sports history

This.

 

[luckiestman]

Minny, BLOW YOUR HORN

 

[ngruz25]

I bet the DB was worried about hitting the WR too early and giving them a Flacco, and it threw off his timing.

 

[Reardon's Beard]

What a game!!!

 

[Catcher Block]

Practice #1 at Saints camp in 2018 will be a lesson on how to wrap up. Jesus Christ.

 

[Ale Xander]

Did the defender trip, or catch his cleat, or something? He doubled over and kinda fell nowhere near the receiver.

He missed the play on purpose because he was bought

No other explanation

 

[johnmd20]

How do you let that happen?!

I guess he didn't want to push him out of bounds? Still, horrendous.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Belichick would literally kill 43.

Of course, he also would have cut him 15 weeks ago, too

 

[HurstSoGood]

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce Saints rookie, Safety and future bar trivia answer, #43,
Marcus Williams.

 

[Strike4]

I can't believe he had the wherewithal to stay in bounds and run to the end zone instead of getting out for the kick.

Yeah this was incredible. Go back to instinct over coaching in this case.

 

[InstaFace]

You gotta feel for Manti Te'o. He thought he had a good thing going, it was going to be beautiful, it was so close he could taste it, and then suddenly it was all revealed to be a mirage.

 

[hunter05]

That ESPN win probably chart is a mind fuck.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I want no part of Case Keenum. LOL. what the fuck was 43 of NO doing? He had him dead to rights.

 

[Ale Xander]

I don't even know how you process that if you're a Saints fan.

Some crazy Cajun is gonna Escobar him

 

[Sportsbstn]

The safety ducked? What in the fuck

 

[Ed Hillel]

43 tried to keep him in bounds by going low and undercutting him, which is understandable, but he whiffed.

 

[mikeot]

Damn, now we have to play the Vikings at home in the Super Bowl.

They have to go through Philly.

 

[Strike4]

That is the worst play in all of sports history

I think this is a measured and accurate view.

 

[Oppo]

Extra kick in the pants to make the Saints come out for the XP.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Keenum just got the miracle of his life and his next 10

 

[Average Reds]

Don’t get me wrong - I like the Vikings. I’m fact, they are my favorite team other than the Eagles. (Which is awkward, but whatever.)

But how does that happen?

 

[eustis22]

Dilly MInny

>Maybe Philly can help us

Who is "us"?

 

[MikeM]

Infamy at it's finest there.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Man, Vikings might be team of destiny this year...

 

[snowmanny]

This extra point rule is so dumb

 

[pokey_reese]

Pats-Titans was the only completely uninteresting game of the weekend. I will take the same next week, please.

 

[johnmd20]

Was the line on this game -5? Because this XP would obviously matter. A LOT.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Saints don’t have to come back—they can just concede the xp

 

[staz]

Undefended extra point? Run the 2 pt play!

 

[shawnrbu]

What is 43 doing?

Vegas got to 43?

There is no other explanation

He is New Orleans Buckner.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Man, Vikings might be team of destiny this year...

Nope

 

[bosockboy]

Yeah this was incredible. Go back to instinct over coaching in this case.

Absolutely. Had to have the clock and FG in his mind. Incredible instincts.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm in shock. That kid is a rookie, who literally had a pro bowl caliber year. It's unexplainable. He didn't just miss Diggs, he missed him by 3 feet and took out his own guy. I'm serious when I say it almost looked intentional.

 

[8slim]

Wrap. Him. Up.

Historically awful play to cap off a great game.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Seriously how do you duck? DUCK

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Why don't they just line up and take a knee?

 

[shawnrbu]

43 tried to keep him in bounds by going low and undercutting him, which is understandable, but he whiffed.

All he had to do was wrap him up.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Spread was 5 1/2, I think

 

[strek1]

WTF just happened? My stream froze for a second, then came back and it's a touchdown?!

My stream froze last week when I was pissing outside

 

[Sportsbstn]

He looked like he intentionally ducked the play

 

[The Needler]

Was the line on this game -5? Because this XP would obviously matter. A LOT.

No. It was 3 or 3.5.

 

[ngruz25]

Literally nobody was more shocked than Case Keenum. What a reaction shot.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

The Immaculate Whiff

 

[Sportsbstn]

Fuck you Diggs, like you didn’t get the present of your life

 

[TrotWaddles]

Marcus Williams? Does he make the plane or just disappear?

 

[Gdiguy]

Yeah, on the replay - I kind of agree, I think 43 was actually going to hit the WR before the ball was there, and buckled under at the last second to avoid an untimed down PI penalty

 

[Deathofthebambino]

They can just take a knee, right?

 

[budguy147]

5.5 point spread
