Novak shanks this.

Novak shanks this.

Has to happen, right?

 

[luckiestman]

Felt like I was watching a Jets game with the way the Colts were covering on that drive

 

[SoxinSeattle]

I enjoy the suck that is the Indianapolis Colts.

 

[DJnVa]

You don't go for 2 Collinsworth. Jesus.

 

[Bergs]

Luck with the pick-6 would send me to bed pretty fucking happy.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Moar...Verizon/USAA/Chevy/Geico/Budweiser...football!

 

[rembrat]

That was great, Cris.

 

[shawnrbu]

So the game people wanted flexed is going to be the most entertaining SNF game since Week 1.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Collinsworth LIKES THAT!

Although plenty of TVs were shutoff early

 

[DJnVa]

Hilton will catch a bomb, Vinatieri will tie the FG record.

 

[shawnrbu]

Does Pagano weigh Adam's streak when deciding what is FG range vs. Hail Mary?

Moar...Verizon/USAA/Chevy/Geico/Budweiser...football!

In the Brazilian ESPN broadcast, most of the breaks don't have commercials, just random b-roll of NFL plays and the announcers reading tweets or shooting the shit. I long for the Geico lizard.

 

[shawnrbu]

Clowney is emerging.

 

[rodderick]

Why didn't the Texans just boot this ball deep? Horrible strategy.

To be fair, I have a kind of infatuation with the Geico Ice-T commercial.

 

[Marciano490]

Not even close.

They bring so little insight to the game I have grown to appreciate the hijinks and terrible puns. Whenever they try to seriously analyze the game it usually infuriates me.

He certainly shouldn't.

 

[shawnrbu]

I hope this is a 7 yard gain over the middle short of the first and the FG unit has to rush on. Most exciting play in football.

 

[shawnrbu]

Go for it or Punt?

 

[Bergs]

Clowney gimpy coming off.

Edit. I guess he has been. Also, spelling.

 

[cshea]

They've got trick plays. Yes, yes they do Al.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Clowny gimpy coming off.

Note to self: Never Google "clown gimp" again

 

[shawnrbu]

They've got trick plays. Yes, yes they do Al.

 

[Freddy Linn]

I'm fascinated by what Luck is going to do with his hair.

 

[DJnVa]

The only Texans captain is their punter?

Same here. Most of the time I watch US online streams, so I hadn't seen them for a while, and it's amazing that after so many years, they haven't bothered to learn more than just the most basic knowledge of the game. The jokes are, however, much better.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Goodell should reform his image by landing a helicopter at midfield to declare this a tie and save America from having to watch overtime in this shitshow.

 

[soxhop411]

Please end in a tie

 

[E5 Yaz]

Cris and Al on the call

Collinsworth knows better. But he also knows his job isn't to explain football to the unwashed masses...learning isn't fun.

Edit: I clearly missed something here. Carry on, lads.

Romulo can be tiring, but I think he's legitimately funny. Everaldo is just the fucking worst, though.

 

[shawnrbu]

Vince trying to chase Luck.

Yeah, this is why I can't shit on these guys too hard - most of the NFL audience here isn't looking for deep analysis, they just wanna watch the large men run into each other. Also worth noting, they work a lot more broadcasts than any US football announcer, and on multiple sports - they don't have much time to prepare for a NFL broadcast.

Michaels has to be thrilled. Gambling implications everywhere. 48 is the over and HOU was -3.

Depending on where he went with his coin

"Luck to Hilton! And it's over...in more ways than one."

 

[riboflav]

OMG, remember when folks thought BOB was BB lite?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Miller, Miller, Miller.

 

[ypioca]

I caught a Romulo CFB game the other day, and laughed through the whole thing.

Back in the day, I remember watching Ivan Zimmerman call games and loving him. I think these guys are all in that mold - be funny and entertaining above all else. Probably works for most of the audience - worked for me as a teenager.

 

[Bergs]

What an opportunity it is! Collinsworth is insufferable.

 

[riboflav]

I love how Brock O. is going to make 202323255464545355345345 dollars in his career off a Patriots muffed punt.

Pretty much.

LOL, there it is.

 

[DanoooME]

Indecision may or may not be Osweiler's problem.

 

[riboflav]

Kick it

 

[dynomite]

God, Miller is just completely spent. He can barely stand up. But instead of running play action let's pitch it to him!

Also... that was a hell of a catch.

 

[DJnVa]

I always love the "Kicker X told me that he feels good out to about 58-60 yards..."

Sure dude.
