Week 17 Game Thread

Yeaaaaaaaah

 

[Royal Reader]

All the predictable things are happening.
 
Something shocking, please.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Man, I could not have been more wrong about Atlanta.  I've seen a lot of them over the past month, and I thought they had a legit chance of winning in a blowout today and winning a wildcard game too.

They hate their coach.

 

[soxhop411]

Rex would fit with ATL

You predicted Atlanta getting their ass kicked at home?

 

[Ed Hillel]

You predicted Atlanta getting their ass kicked at home?

 
You think Seattle can handle the Panthers at home?

 

[crystalline]

Lions linebacker jumped that slant. Rodgers lucky it wasn't picked off

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a pretty weak call.

 

[3rd Degree]

That's a pretty weak call.

Totally. Graze, not a grasp.

 

[Royal Reader]

You predicted Atlanta getting their ass kicked at home?

 
I thought they'd lose, because the have no defense.  I guess maybe I thought the offense would be good enough to allow Mike Smith to blow it, but I always thought they'd lose.

 

[Silverdude2167]

So do you take Rodger out now?

 

[soxhop411]

That should be game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Probably short, but you can't overturn that.

 

[McBride11]

I generally agree with facemask calls as they can be pretty dangerous, but that Det guy grazed the facemask at most it seemed, pretty weak.
 
Rodgers was in??? His ass seems down 1/2 yard short.

 

[DanoooME]

Stop blitzing dammit!

 

[mikeford]

Well hopefully the Sunday night game is good at least cuz all these 4pm games are lacking drama

 

[Harry Hooper]

Farcical TD call in Lambeau. How can the QB get the benefit of the doubt when leading with his butt over the goal line?

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

If the Rams actually get a decent QB, look out.

 

[bankshot1]

Rodgers was on his ass facing backwards-no way that ball crossed the line.

In the NFCCG? I'll take my chances.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kenny Britt has made himself some money this year. I'd love to see him visit Foxboro again in the offseason.

 

[Ed Hillel]

In the NFCCG? I'll take my chances.

 
Carolina will be the 4 seed, so if Dallas wins and Carolina wins, you'd get Carolina in the Divisional.

 

[crystalline]

In realtime it looked like he regrabbed the facemask after he let it go. But I think that was because of the way the runners head turned because replay showed no regrab. Maybe that's why the flag was thrown.

 

[Sportsbstn]

These short passes are killing Seattle's defense.  Just stop turning the ball over

 

[Ed Hillel]

Seattle D hasn't played well this half, but those turnovers have killed the Rams.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

So Lions at Dallas and Arizona at Carolina?

 

[Dollar]

Farcical TD call in Lambeau. How can the QB get the benefit of the doubt when leading with his butt over the goal line?

Because he was never touched by a defender.  He was leaning back against his offensive linemen.  (he could have possibly been touched, but no replay showed it)

 

[Silverdude2167]

Stop blitzing dammit!

I did not think SEA blitzed, why are they vs. STL?

 

[Sportsbstn]

any decent QB completes that td

 

[Section15Box113]

That turnover by Bell was so costly.
 
And so Lions.

 

[McBride11]

Joe Buck, what about Paul Pierce?!?! Isn't that more appropriate?? Taken off mid game, wheeled back out!!!

 

[Seabass]

I mean, he deserves it, but Rodgers just sewed up the MVP with that play.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Touchback lolol

 

[crystalline]

Rodgers sits now up 14 with 9min left?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Rams turn it over on the 1.

 

[Sportsbstn]

another fuckup for the Rams

 

[DanoooME]

Ball is out. That's a fumble

 

[wibi]

Great play by seattle

 

[Freddy Linn]

Earl Thomas is a fabulous football player.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Seattle is far from a lock in the playoffs

 

[Ed Hillel]

Haha, he fumbled on like the one inch line.

 

[McBride11]

In realtime it looked like he regrabbed the facemask after he let it go. But I think that was because of the way the runners head turned because replay showed no regrab. Maybe that's why the flag was thrown.

 
Ya I think the runners head turning in an effort to throw the defender off made it look worse live.
 
See 42 just head slapped Stafford!

 

[Silverdude2167]

I still don't think this SEA defense is as good as their numbers have been the last 6(?) weeks. I think they can be carved up by a good offense.

 

[shawnrbu]

So Lions at Dallas and Arizona at Carolina?

 
Those are two very lame matchups.  Colts/Bengals sucks, too.  Only interesting game next weekend is Steelers/Ravens. 

 

[Harry Hooper]

Because he was never touched by a defender.  He was leaning back against his offensive linemen.  (he could have possibly been touched, but no replay showed it)

 
Yes, he might have actually gotten in, but It was obvious the official who came running in and eventually signalled TD had no sight of what happened. Given the circumstances and Rodgers approach, the default there should be no TD unless replay clearly shows he got it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Those are three brutal turnovers by the Rams in the 4th. About 200 yards in total offense and no points.

 

[Silverdude2167]

But the logic is if I say he is in there is an automatic review, if not there must be a challenge.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Manning still in. I don't like rooting for injuries, but why can't karma bite them in the ass this once?
