Week 15 Game Thread

[Van Everyman]

LOL, Gruden not letting Gerry Austin off the hook.

 

[lars10]

Nice that Gruden actually speaks his mind... But this is happening every game now.

 

[Van Everyman]

Seriously good for Gruden here.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Look at all these PI calls going in the Ravens favor.  Ridiculous.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Even the refs hate Schwartz.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

Wow! The old coot disagrees with a call!!!

Of course he is laughing about it.

 

[scottyno]

good on gruden to call out the refs unlike pretty much every other announcer

 

[Al Zarilla]

You could see Stafford mouthing it from 40 yards away and blind zebras didn't see it? Never thought the NFL would get to NBA incompetence. 

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

So, a 10 point swing (at least) just on the PI calls for the Ravens?

 

[54thMA]

That montage of all the PI's the Ravens get away with is priceless.
 
Fucking criminal.

 

[54thMA]

Unlike the Chargers, the Lions can tackle

 

[Ed Hillel]

Stafford goes to his first read on like 95% of the plays.

 

[twibnotes]

I bet Gruden is right that "Terrell Suggs has taken the leadership torch from Ray Lewis."

 

[twibnotes]

Stafford goes to his first read on like 95% of the plays.


He seems to opt for low pct throws down the field in situations where a short gain is all that is needed.

 

[Phragle]

Holy shit even Gerry Austin thinks it's PI.
 
These refs can EABFD

 
Eat A Big Fluffy Doughnut?
 

Stafford goes to his first read on like 95% of the plays.

If his first read isn't there he'll go sidearm and throw it anyway.

 

[Jack Sox]

Tirico, of course, plays the "haven't you ever made a mistake" card.

This made no fucking sense to me. Tirico is an idiot and Monday Night Football is a shell of what it once was. 

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I just keep expecting the refs to bail out Flacco every down.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Did anyone even hit his arm?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Got his elbow, yup.

 

[Al Zarilla]

This made no fucking sense to me. Tirico is an idiot and Monday Night Football is a shell of what it once was. 

I  would call Tirico a bland, add nothing announcer. He doesn't seem stupid though.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

REALLY?!

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a shitty QB.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

That... that was just horrible.  Wow.

 

[Bongorific]

If his first read isn't there he'll go sidearm and throw it anyway.

Called that one.

 

[Stitch01]

Lions are so much less than the sum of their parts

 

[Al Zarilla]

Stafford, OTOH, is stupid.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

What a shitty QB.

No excuse for that

 

[twibnotes]

I would call Tirico a bland, add nothing announcer. He doesn't seem stupid though.


Stafford on the other hand...

 

[mascho]

I'll just mention that the intended receiver was being held.  Doesn't negate one of the dumbest decisions and throws in NFL history, but still.

 

[fairlee76]

If the NFL doesn't consider that a hit worthy of suspension, they should make sure it is in the future. It wasn't necessary. The blocker could have eliminated the punter without obliterating him.

I realize I'm late to the party but it's hits like that one that are slowly turning me off to football. Gratuitous and violent for violence's sake. A fucking linebacker blindsiding a punter is pathetic. Like cheering for a heavyweight boxer as he sucker punches a lightweight.

 

[RedOctober3829]

That was a lions play

 

[Ed Hillel]

He had a guy wide open on that play on the right side, didn't even look.

 

[mpx42]

That play call sucked too.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Just can't win with those killer INTs. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Same guy that went low earlier!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Fruit rollup!

 

[twibnotes]

Should have been a penalty

 

[RedOctober3829]

Flacco holding his knee...

 

[mpx42]

Lions D is giving them every opportunity tonight.

 

[mascho]

Yeah, that's a pretty dirty play and should have been a flag.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yeah, that's a pretty dirty play and should have been a flag.

 
Same guy as before, too.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

What. The. Fuck. Was. That.

3 point present for Baltimore

 

[CaptainLaddie]

TIME FOR MEGATRON TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN

 

[twibnotes]

Lions are so much less than the sum of their parts


Schwartz has to be gone, no?

 

[Bongorific]

I hope that touch hole's knee swells up like a volleyball by next week.

 

[Stitch01]

Oh look Lions behaving like scum, shocker

Yes Schwartz should be gone

 

[Stitch01]

Won't complain about a Flacco MCL injury though

 

[CaptainLaddie]

The Lions just gave Schwartz a big deal IIRC.  I have trouble believing they get rid of him.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

Both guys in the booth making excuses for that bush league dirty play

 

[Ed Hillel]

I don't see any way that's not at least an MCL sprain.
