Can anyone explain why NYC doesn't get the early game of CBS's doubleheader? I was hoping to watch the Pats at home, but instead NYers probably get three hours of Paid Programming or reruns of Two and a Half Man.

When a team plays a home game, that game is the only one shown in the team's home media market during that time slot. So you won't get anything up against the Jets game during the 1pm time slot.

Got it, thanks. That makes me a sad panda.

There's a handful of interesting matchups this week. Pitt @ BAL is the big one, obviously, but those of us who don't want to see Pitt in the playoffs will probably be interested in Cinci @ SD.

Seattle gets its CBs for this week, right? If so that makes SEA @ CHI more interesting.

Then, of course, we're all probably praying for TB to pull one out at Denver. Other than that, there aren't really any intriguing non-Pats matchups.

Can anyone explain why the Greensboro NC is getting Jax-Buf instead of NE-MIA or even the TEN game? Seems very random and it's not like Jax-Buf is a big game.

That's odd. I can't figure that one out...it's the Panthers secondary market, but neither of those teams is a Panthers rival...


EDIT: The map has been changed. Greensboro is getting NE-Miami now.

Atlanta is wearing the throwback uniforms tonight.

[E5 Yaz]

The red helmets are so much better than the current ones

[Al Zarilla]

So, all parts of the west except for Texas, North Dakota and some small portions of a few other states get Pats - Fins. I'm in one of the exception places (NorCal). I suppose this is because Andrew Luck went to Stanford. Can I borrow Stewie Griffin's time machine and make Andrew go to Notre Dame, or something?

[abty]

This week should be exciting but the only real rivalry game in this 'rivalry week' will be the Monday Night game. Ben is out, the Dolphins are mediocre, Philly & Dallas stink and the Saints are a loss from elimination basically. What a shame as this could have been a tremendous week of football if things turned out as expected in the pre-season.

[Mystic Merlin]

You've never had a party 'till you've been to a party in my city.

[JimBoSox9]

Holy shit, if that C-lo Green video wasn't the absolute worst thing I've ever seen, I don't know what is.

[Turrable]

Wow, Buffalo is blacked out. I thought they were one of those places where that never happens.

[jsinger121]

Wow, Buffalo is blacked out. I thought they were one of those places where that never happens.

They usually black 1-2 games late in the year. It's mind boggling with the NFL scheduling. If they had scheduled the jags game early in the season when there was tons of hype it would have been a sellout. Flip the Pats game in buffalo earlier in the year to a December date and its likely one less blackout in the league.

[cshea]

Watching the Saints always makes me feel better about the Pats defense. Yeesh.

[Helmet Head]

That run defense is something special

[Freddy Linn]

Juan Samuel. That is gold.

Edit: anyone else catch that from Mayock?

Edited by Freddy Linn, 29 November 2012 - 08:42 PM.

[cshea]

Haha, I thought that's what he said.

[rodderick]

I wonder how many times Brees is going to snap the ball after the time has expired before they call delay of game.

[rodderick]

And just a sidenote: watching Drew Brees this season just makes me appreciate Brady even more. Don't get me wrong, Brees is a great player, but he's very inconsistent from year to year. Continued excellence is something very difficult to achieve in this league.

How is he inconsistent now?

[ypioca]

Well, there you go.

[TheShynessClinic]

I wonder if Brees got hurt last week on one of the 5 sacks he took vs. SF.

He looked off most of the 4th quarter that game, and today hasn't been so great yet either.

Edited by TheShynessClinic, 29 November 2012 - 09:20 PM.

[rodderick]

How is he inconsistent now?

He's pretty much alternated great and not-so-great seasons his whole career. When he's on, he's a machine, but he just turns the ball over a lot otherwise. He doesn't have bad seasons, but I just feel he has had more years in which he looked merely 'good' than both Brady and Manning have had combined since 2006. He's still a great, great player, but I often see him ranked with Tom and Peyton on that upper echelon as if he were their equal. He isn't.

LOL at that throw

What awful coverage there. Turn your head, dick.

[cshea]

Brees is going Rex Grossman on us tonight. Not reading the coverage it's just "fuck it, I'm going deep."

On his first pick, he played it just like I would in Madden. Play-action, pump-fakes, the safety doesn't bite, unloads it deep anyway.

The secret to Papa John's? Nodding your head maniacally mid-sentence.

[ypioca]

Jesus Christ, Atlanta's coverage is abysmal.

[Soxaholic]

Wow. Really, Saints?

[ypioca]

And... LOL.

[cshea]

Yikes

[Jed Zeppelin]

Nice game management Donovan.

[BigSoxFan]

Nice going, Andy Reid

[bball831]

Inexcusable by Brees to throw it to Sproles there.

[MarcSullivaFan]

I feel bad for Sean Payton's dog.

[Spaulding Smails]

Wow that was absolutely putrid.

[epraz]

They took 30 seconds after the first Sproles play. Ridiculous.

[Jed Zeppelin]

They took 30 seconds after the first Sproles play. Ridiculous.

Stunningly poor execution. What the hell was that?

[ypioca]

Lowest-budget halftime show ever?

[MarcSullivaFan]

Ingram is terrible. I can't believe he's still taking touches from Sproles, Thomas, and Ivory.

[Ed Hillel]

Atlanta isn't going to win a playoff game.

[MarcSullivaFan]

Atlanta isn't going to win a playoff game.

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone was fooled by them. This seems awfully similar to 2010-2011 when they had the 1 seed.

[Freddy Linn]

Somehow ATL forgot they are averaging almost nine yards a carry.

[cshea]

Atlanta seems to have abandoned the run for no apparent reason. Perhaps they should review the film of the first drive of the game.

I'm pretty sure you're nearly 100% wrong on all of this. Go ahead and prove your case though. My interest is certainly piqued.

[Turrable]

Why would you use play action in Madden? That's like a "please sack me" button.

[Ed Hillel]

Awful throw.

[BigSoxFan]

Brees has really choked tonight
