2020 NFL: Wk.12 (Thanksgiving Week) Game Thread

[johnmd20]

This game has regenerated my contempt for the Chiefs, and my feeling protective and supportive of TB12. Jones and Clark are fucking assholes. And don’t get me started on their hateful fans.

I wish Mahomes were on another team.

Kelce too. Kelce is such a front running piece of shit.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That should just about do it.

 

[brandonchristensen]

No TO's. Better be good D.

 

[johnmd20]

Mahomes wins the game with his legs.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's game.

 

[McBride11]

Kelce too. Kelce is such a front running piece of shit.

No love for Hill?

 

[shawnrbu]

Would have about 30 seconds and a long field if Bucs D can get a stop.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Mahomes wins the game with his legs.

In a bunch of ways he reminds me of Staubach in how he moves around. Great pocket awareness, shifty plus size, always makes the right decision about where and how far to go.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Edwards-Helaire fighting for extra yards there is moronic. Ball was exposed for brief second.

 

[heavyde050]

Chiefs probably should have blown them out early, but the idiotic interception on the throw to Scotty Miller AND the interception off the helmet doomed the Bucs.

He's really quick and he's also got a cannon. It's not a bad combination.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

A false start would be nice

EDIT: And it would've been too.

 

[The Social Chair]

Great play, better execution.

 

[johnmd20]

Tyreke the piece of shit wins the game. That makes this hurt more.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

passing on both of those downs is idiotic. just too much risk. but, they're that good.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Great run pass option, if it isn’t wide open he can just turtle on the run

 

[54thMA]

Yes it was. Of all the Pats' playoff wins, for me that one ranks right up in the pantheon. Held off the crowning of the next great QB for one year, won on the road, in incredible fashion, and was capped by a SB title. Absolutely, without question, one of the best wins in the entire 19 year dynasty.

Agreed 100%; throw in the AFCCG in Pittsburgh in 2005 after the Steelers went 15-1 and stopped the Patriots winning streak and 2007 vs that wagon of a Chargers team in San Diego, those are my personal top three playoff wins.

 

[heavyde050]

Brady shook Mahomes' hand in a loss. Can't wait for social media to have a field day that it wasn't a good enough handshake.

 

[8slim]

7-5. Granted they’ll probably finish 11-5. But 7-5 ain’t what they were hoping for.

 

[Euclis20]

passing on both of those downs is idiotic. just too much risk. but, they're that good.

Normally I might agree, but:

-A first down ends the game, get it however you can.
-You can trust Mahomes to make the right decision and a good throw.
-Brady may be weak on downfield throws, but the Bucs have the personnel to make a hail mary a scary proposition for any defense.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

probably the last Brady Mahomes "duel". 2-2. all games one possession differential.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Bucs were going ot have 30 seconds and pinned deep. it was unlikely they would get into a hail mary situation, they'd be hoping for a <60 yard FG at best.

Comes down to Mahomes being that good, you run the play.

 

[j-man]

Kelce too. Kelce is such a front running piece of shit.

and they get a " bye week next week

 

[staz]

That OT drive, with all the 3rd down conversions, is already legendary.

 

[luckiestman]

I’m going for Mitch tonight. I don’t like Aaron for some reason, never did.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Oh good, Tony Dungy is in the booth.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Oh good, Tony Dungy is in the booth.

Him advocating for the most conservative decision on any fourth down is a good drinking game.

 

[Average Game James]

Has Montgomery ever broken a run like that?

 

[staz]

Not a catch.

 

[staz]

Has Montgomery ever broken a run like that?

Nope, career long.

 

[Average Game James]

Wow, that was bad by Mitch. There were literally 2 GB defenders between Mooney and the ball...

 

[E5 Yaz]

Sling along with Mitch

 

[PseuFighter]

worst 5-1 team in history.

 

[joe dokes]

Sling along with Mitch

Just follow the bouncing ball.

 

[Average Game James]

So every time I get annoyed at Cam not being a great QB, I just have to remind myself that at least the Pats didn't trade up to draft Trubisky instead of Mahomes or Watson

 

[Harry Hooper]

Two grabs of the face mask by 2 different DL, but zero flags

 

[joe dokes]

If nagy goes for the FG, he should be fired at halftime.

 

[Freddy Linn]

So blanketed double coverage isn’t stopping Mitch. He just chucked it into triple coverage.

 

[luckiestman]

I thought Nagy did a good job his first year but league caught on quick and he didn’t adjust or Foles and Mitch are really that bad. Pretty good defense getting wasted in Chicago.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He is so so bad

 

[Ale Xander]

Mahomes is a pleasure to watch. It sucks so much that Hill is his #1 weapon and to a lesser extent, Kelce his #2.

Rooting for them over Pitt, Balt, and Mia in the playoffs should they play any.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Lazor’s playcalling sucks shit. That last series was brutal. Hand the ball off to Montgomery.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Bears getting clowned. I think Shannon Sharpe is on the sidelines picking up the phone.

 

[luckiestman]

What is the Bears GM situation? Is the guy that drafted Mitch still there? That would be 3 blunders at QB (Glennon (I think), Mitch trade, Foles).

Ryan Pace is the Bears GM since 2015. He declined an interview with the Jets to go with the Bears.

Thanks and lol. I think Lombardi rants about him but didn’t know if he was still the guy.

Remember guys, if you don’t have a rooting interest the Good Guys need Seattle to lose. Seattle is going to win but maybe if you guys root hard enough we can get a miracle.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

The rapidity with which Steve Levy has rocketed up my Announcers I Can't Stand power rankings has been unprecedented.

Why do the Jets need Seattle to lose?
