Week 16 Game Thread

[Ferm Sheller]

A Time to Kill!!!

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

I LOVE DALTON!

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL Bengals got this.

 

[bankshot1]

Ginger!

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm about at the point where I'm hoping we get Denver over Pitt. Not that either is particularly worrisome, but Manning is just lulz. Pats could beat them by 30 if this Manning shows up.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

I can't believe the refs let that call stand.  It didn't look like ---
 
TOUCHDOWN!
 
edit: didn't look like the defender had possession before going out of bounds.  You could call that a completion for the offense and give forward progress that would net about 1 yard, and I certainly wouldn't have argued.
 
I will say this, though: that was a ballsy run and head-first dive into a LB by Dalton to get the 1st down at the 2.  He may be a merely average QB but he's showing some heart.

Denver, Pitt, I don't think it matters. Only team I do not want are the Ravens. 

 

[Phragle]

Manning was a great QB, and the sport will be worse without him.

 

[Ed Hillel]

TJ Ward is overrated as a player. Lays the wood by diving at legs every play, but can't cover for shit.

[Mugsy's Jock]

Ginger had it all over Mary Anne.

Just sayin'

 

[steveluck7]

Teams take on the attitude of their leader. See TJ Ward Channeling Peyton throwing his arms up after the TD looking for someone to blame.

Sad nfl players are sad commercial is just awful

 

[Ed Hillel]

What do you think they show all these players to make them cry for the commercials?

 

[Al Zarilla]

 
For him? For people who love football? I root against Peyton Manning every single week, but he's one of the best players in the history of the sport, it's always sad to see guys like that go away because they can't physically play anymore.

Tony Conigliaro, Bo Jackson, Kirby Puckett I felt bad, really bad about. All the way back to Manning throwing his O-line under the bus in Indy, can't stand him. 

 

[Dalton Jones]

Manning looks like toast. Wow.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

CT scans of their concussed brains.

Didn't Gruden just call him the "Red Rocket" on the outro to commercial?

Andy "Wait, I May Still Crush Your Souls At Any Given Moment" Dalton.
 
Best I can do. 

 

[Silverdude2167]

That pick reminded me of the Bruschi pick in 2004 I think

 

[Ed Hillel]

The nerve thing makes a lot of sense; the whole "adjusting the offense" is such BS. A healthy Manning throws 50 times a game if need be.

 

[Silverdude2167]

This you saw it when everyone gave up in the superbowl last year except Welker.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was Brandon Spikes-esque.
 
Coming back, clear hold.

 

[gammoseditor]

Veteran move by the center. Could have been a hold on that third down run.

 

[ifmanis5]

Wide open.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

HOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD

 

[Al Zarilla]

Holding

 

[Ed Hillel]

That hold just saved Manning's life.

 

[Phragle]

Yeah.

The Ravens are not good, brah.

People were wondering why he signed for so little.
 
 

How far do people think Manning can throw a football? I really want to see a Hail Mary situation tonight.

 
55-60 yards in perfect conditions.

 

[McBride11]

Holding? Hah

 

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

Using an imaginary fishing feel after a big gain is called back is a great move. Never seen that one.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

BTW, Wilfork never gets that call. 

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Well that was an up-and-down play (edit: the 3rd down run).  I thought they had him in the backfield, then I thought he had cleared the defense and was going to take it to the house.  Then he fell on his own while trying to change direction.

 

[Sportsbstn]

lol sorry peyton

Or Chandler.

Call it irrational fear.

This. Very much this.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Manning will go scream at him for dropping that big 2 yard gain.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol quick snap

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

So it's either a rainbow throw for 10-15 yards or a short 5-yarder on every throw for Manning. 

 

[Jnai]

That should have been picked.

[LaszloKovacks]

Holy shit, Manning looks a lot like... Ryan Lindley. Those passes are sloooooow

 

[Sportsbstn]

Put it in the end zone Bengals.  

 

[Leather]

A bowl of onions.

 

[ifmanis5]

Decent Manning Face there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That isn't even Manning Face, it's Defeated Face. He looks like he knows he's done.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Manning has been tossing a few ducks for a while now this season.  Still hate to see a career ending injury.
