2020 NFL: Wk.17 Game Thread

[brandonchristensen]

What a toss to Godwin. Damn. Just OOB.

 

[johnmd20]

What a damn catch by Antonio Brown.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Play by play guy Chris Myers is just mediocre.

Myers is comfortably on the bottom of my personal NFL play-by-play announcer rankings, to the point that I will consciously try to avoid watching/listening to games in which he's involved.

 

[johnmd20]

That was going to Scottie Miller. Brown just clipped it with a highlight reel catch. Amazing.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady to Brown. 38 TD's.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brady to Brown. 38 TD's.

What could have been last year.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tom threw for 2 TDs that drive. Godwin was OOB though with his second foot.

 

[johnmd20]

Cleveland was a horrendous sequence from 4. Mayfield missed a wide open WR on first and almost threw a pick. Then a terrible run. And then a pass that was not catchable in bounds.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I remember thinking Tom would never pass a lot of Peyton's stats when Peyton retired.

Now that you said that, I'm already hearing more gaffes from him LOL.

 

[Dollar]

I still love that Brady played against Antoine Winfield Sr. in college in 1998 and is now Antoine Winfield Jr.'s teammate. Junior was 3 months old a the time of that first meeting.

 

[BaseballJones]

Honestly, the way Brady is playing, he looks like he could play til he's 50.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Now that you said that, I'm already hearing more gaffes from him LOL.

He was over-promoted within Fox, IMHO: he has no feel for football, constantly screws things up both big and little, and his adaptation of his old SportsCenter HR catchphrase ("It's up there, it's out there, it's a homerun there") for field goal attempts is beyond cringeworthy. I know, I'm a wannabe commentator myself, but Myers' continued employment - and surprisingly high-quality list of game assignments - is very high on my list of exhibits proving that this industry is not a meritocracy.

Ruh Roh Miami

 

[johnmd20]

McKenzie for Buffalo has some jets. Great punt return.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Ruh Roh Miami

And no Fitzmagic to bail them out this week, either...

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The punter tried his best but McKenzie knows how to handle that

 

[shawnrbu]

Bills special teams are impressive in the return game.

 

[axx]

Ruh Roh Miami

Have to wonder if they do end up making the playoffs, that Fitz starts it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tom is thinking "leave me some time."

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady two minute drill time.
If this were the Pats, he'd kneel out.

 

[johnmd20]

Tua can't do anything. The best play of this game for the Dolphins was a pass by a player that was not Tua.

Fitzy has to start if they make the playoffs.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady getting some flag assists.

 

[shawnrbu]

Kirk Cousins gonna get paid this offseason.

 

[johnmd20]

Kirk Cousins gonna get paid this offseason.

Cousins is legitimately awesome, unless you need him to come up big in a big game. Then he's terrible.

 

[johnmd20]

Dolphins are getting annihilated.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Miami = fin.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's two bombs to the end zone he was just BARELY off on.

 

[mauf]

Giants TD is going to be overruled. If I’m Judge, I accept the 10-second runoff and keep both my timeouts.

Edit: Guess not. TD stands on review.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This feels like prime Manning where they always go for the TD pass.

 

[cshea]

Cowboys false start on a spike and have to use their last timeout. Greg the Leg out for a 57 yarder now.

He crushed that one and got the good hook. Impressive, he's 3 for 9 on 50+ yard FG this year. Not that great from a guy who calls himself Greg the Leg.

“That's it. Game over. Cowboys got embarrassed and exposed. Another late-season disaster. Zeke wouldn't suck it up, then they gave it up. I was wrong. Another mirage. They're done and so am I.”

 

[cornwalls@6]

Does Skip know there's 4 quarters in an NFL game?

Sounds like me, pre 2004 Red Sox.

 

[luckiestman]

1. If contracts were the same, rank:

Tua
Darnold
Fields
Wilson

2. Could both Jets and Fish take QBs?

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice kick by the Zman but man that cowboys 1 minute drive clock management was awful

 

[johnmd20]

Flag bails out Miami big time. That was a gift.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dalton is awful

 

[johnmd20]

God, Cleveland is just painful.

 

[axx]

God, Cleveland is just painful.

They are going to lose to the Steelers backups, aren't they

 

[brandonchristensen]

Jeez. Brady out of the gate with like 50 yards.

 

[cshea]

What happens if Miami and Cleveland lose?

 

[johnmd20]

They are going to lose to the Steelers backups, aren't they

The Browns do have a lot of defensive players out, but so do the Steelers. And it's Mason Rudolph. The Browns offense is toothless.

 

[axx]

What happens if Miami and Cleveland lose?

Miami makes the playoffs if any of the other 10-5 teams lose.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady with a flukey pick.

Miller truly is the new Edelman.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Miller truly is the new Edelman.

Settle down there with Miller

 

[johnmd20]

What happens if Miami and Cleveland lose?

Miami clinches. And then it comes down to whether Indy wins.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Settle down there with Miller

Edelman seemed to have a knack for tipped passes to the defense.
