Week 12 Game Thread

[Leather]

Either way, one of our top rivals will lose.

 

[shawnrbu]

Too risky for Phil.

 

[H78]

People are actually rooting for the Broncos here?

Yes because they're more confident in the Dolphins running the table, including having to win in NE in December, than they are the Broncos, one of the best teams in the NFL the last few seasons with a Hall of Fame QB, running the table and taking over the #1 seed.

and just like that, a Broncos down by 3.

 

[mikeford]

Jones hasn't been playing like the best safety in the league tonight.

The best safety in the league is Earl Thomas

 

[Silverdude2167]

I'm probably just letting my Manning hate shine through, but he almost never meets his receivers in the end zone after a TD like Brady. (Only saw the last TD today, could be so wrong.)

 

[shawnrbu]

The one downside to cutting it to 3 instead of 4 is now Denver is tempted to attempt a FG with their lousy kicker.

 

[JerBear]

The best safety in the league is Earl Thomas

He hasn't been playing like the best safety in the league this season either.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Jones hasn't been playing like the best safety in the league tonight.

 
he's sucked all game

 

[Clears Cleaver]

why do i see a third game where miami loses in the last 30 seconds on a TD pass?

 

[Toe Nash]

Welker is 2/10 today. Since week 6 he's averaged 2.4 receptions and 22.3 yards per game.

 

[Phragle]

It's incredible how numbers driven PM is. He must throw more inside the 10 than anyone.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

The best safety in the league is Earl Thomas

Pats #32 disagrees

The difference between losing the lead over Denver and over Miami is a 2 seed vs a 5 seed.
Facing Miami when a win potentially gives them the division lead is scarier than losing a two game lead without having to face Denver in my opinion.
 
I am not looking at it as who is the better team overall, but which scenario is more unnerving.

Man, fuck Manning.

 

[Leather]

A Broncos win effectively puts Miami away, from the pats POV. Plus, there's a good chance DEN loses to the Chiefs, anyway.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

I have zero faith that Miami will win this game. Because they NEVER win this game

Not sure why I have to say this again, but if the Pats beat Miami, this game is likely irrelevant either way. We're only talking about two scenarios: One in which a loss to Miami gets the 2 seed, and one in which it gets the 5. Unlikely to lose to Miami, but not sure why so many are in favor of having the loss be for the 5 seed.

 

[shawnrbu]

Skins lead the 49ers 13-10.

 

[shawnrbu]

Got 'em for the 2nd time on Omaha.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a terrible call.

 

[brandonchristensen]

There's no way the Broncos lose this one.

 

[shawnrbu]

Peyton's slingin it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Sanders is kinda fragile.

Lose @GB @SD?

 

[shawnrbu]

Sanders is kinda fragile.

 
He missed an entire play.  The wuss.

 

[soxhop411]

Flags.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Moot but that's a damn soft DPI.

 

[bball831]

Tannehill's going to have to put together a TD drive to win this thing.  

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Dolphins D looks awful.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Fins are boned

 

[Cellar-Door]

Ballsy by Harbaugh, went for 4th and 1 on his own 34, down 3, 5:30 left.

 

[Leather]

Is Taylor a good DB?

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Dolphins now play Walt Aikens at starting LCB. he, too, is a fourth stringer.
 
This team is hanging on by a string in the secondary and OL

 

[crystalline]

Dolphins D looks awful.

Imperfect coverage and no pressure on Mannong- recipe for a loss.

 

[Leather]

Wtf? manning is worried about crowd noise during the play?

 

[DaveRoberts'Shoes]

Time table?  $10 is in the mail

Could be a few weeks, might be done for the year depending on what he actually tore and how they chose to manage it

 

[soxhop411]

Bullshit

 

[McBride11]

Shouldnt it be first and goal? They made the first inside the 5 THEN got the penalty?

 

[LuckyBen]

Man, the Dolphins secondary is a joke

 

[RIrooter09]

Thank you sir.

 

[burstnbloom]

A flag on every play.   The NFL can be unwatchable at times. 

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Wow

 

[shawnrbu]

Shouldnt it be first and goal? They made the first inside the 5 THEN got the penalty?

 
No, because if that happened elsewhere on the field, it would be 1st and 10, not 1st and 25. 

 

[crystalline]

These late flags are a traveshamockery. Makes it seem like the WWF out there. Throw the flag when the foul occurs if you think there was a foul.

 

[bosox188]

Umm, maybe I misheard. But I'm pretty sure I just hears Simms say "Well, he must have grabbed him, because Sanders said it."

 

[RIrooter09]

Man, the Dolphins secondary is a joke

 
Yes we will shred them at Gillette.  Same game plan as today, and their D line isn't as scary as Detroit's.

 

[soxhop411]

Mia choking.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Dolphins played a good 3 quarters. Shame it's four quarter game.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Dolphins D didn't come as advertised today. 

 

[brandonchristensen]

And Denver's push for the #1 seed continues!
