2020 WC Weekend Game Thread

That was illegal contact but it was before the pass. The pass defense was clean. You can't change a No Illegal Contact ruling.

At least it's only a first half timeout.

Now they’ve got only two challenges left maximum.

 

[johnmd20]

I, for one, am SHOCKED that wasn't overturned.

What a stupid fucking challenge. Just giving away a potential challenge later in the game.

 

[Average Reds]

Punting from the 37? Seems like a solid choice.

 

[staz]

nm

 

[Average Reds]

Hopkins was giving as good as he was getting, though.

edit - and they haven't been overturning these and it's a huge risk to losing your challenge this early in the game.

To be clear, I agree with you.

I was expressing doubt that it was the kind of play you burn a challenge on. I just wasn’t as vehement.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Big conversion.

 

[johnmd20]

Punting from the 37? Seems like a solid choice.

The challenge was bad but that was worse. Buffalo already has the ball on the 23 yard line.

Bill O'Brien is the coach you want if you want to make the playoffs. But he can't win in the playoffs, because he's a moron about tactics.

 

[BornToRun]

At least that was actually hands to the face

 

[johnmd20]

He double fisted that dude right in the face, at first contact. LOL.

I’m still in shock. You play in a pseudo-dome. If you don’t have a kicker who can hit from 54, go for it.

And if you don’t have a kicker who can hit from 54 and you play in a dome, what the hell?

 

[McBride11]

Haha. The extra 1s before delay of game

 

[ernieshore]

That timeout looked late.

 

[staz]

Clock hit 0 before TO?

 

[cshea]

That was DOG

 

[BornToRun]

Damnnnnnnnnnn

 

[johnmd20]

They could not be fellating JJ Watt any more. Ye Gods, he's probably not even in football shape.

 

[staz]

aaand ESPN makes no mention of the late TO.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Wow

 

[axx]

Ooh, that's a pick 6 drop.

 

[johnmd20]

Nice hands JJ.

 

[Average Reds]

Where is the Mariano “catch the ball!” Gif when you need it?

 

[ifmanis5]

That's two pick-6's narrowly averted.

 

[cshea]

The Watt stuff is insufferable

 

[BigSoxFan]

Keep using Hyde, Houston

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Tessitore going to ballwash Watt on every near play?

 

[johnmd20]

The Watt stuff is insufferable

It's brutal. It's not like he's had a good year. Or a year at all.

 

[johnmd20]

What a tremendous play by Murphy.

 

[Marciano490]

Houston should’ve used a challenge there, not on the DPI.

 

[djbayko]

Wow, the Buffalo Special for a TD. Then Romeo's face.

As I suspected, Buffalo Special has an UrbanDictionary entry.

 

[BornToRun]

Still not as bad as Freeman’s blitz pickup

 

[johnmd20]

Houston should’ve used a challenge there, not on the DPI.

And, yet, they had already burned that challenge. Which is the reason why challenging a PI in the first quarter is insane.

 

[cshea]

Punts from the 38 and 48 so far.

 

[Kliq]

It's brutal. It's not like he's had a good year. Or a year at all.

He had a really good year when he was healthy. I saw something like he was still in the top ten in QB pressures after Week 15 and he hasn’t played in a month.

He’s a marquee player in the league and when he is out there, they are going to talk about him.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I underestimated how much J.J. WATT coverage we’d be getting

 

[staz]

I wonder if members of the Anger family have a history of violence.

 

[johnmd20]

MOAR WATT.

MOOOOOAR.

 

[Marciano490]

lol all the Watt love, then the stats.

 

[cshea]

Christ I hate JJ Watt

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I wonder if members of the Anger family have a history of violence.

No. As punters, they tend to air it out.

 

[InstaFace]

They could not be fellating JJ Watt any more. Ye Gods, he's probably not even in football shape.

And again. Aren't you glad he's mic'd up?

 

[mwonow]

I underestimated how much J.J. WATT coverage we’d be getting

I'm really not sure how you could have anticipated the 'over'

 

[johnmd20]

lol all the Watt love them the stats.

12 plays, 0 tackles. One missed INT that literally went through his hands that he couldn't even bat away.

 

[staz]

No. As punters, they tend to air it out.

Nice!

 

[InstaFace]

Where is the Mariano “catch the ball!” Gif when you need it?

I deeply regret that this one appears lost to history. Mabrowndog was the last one I knew had it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Watt hasn’t won a big game in his life.

 

[johnmd20]

And again. Aren't you glad he's mic'd up?

Oh yeah, it's wonderful news.

Did you know he had surgery in October and was supposed to be out for the year? And he's not out for the year, he is back.

HE IS BACK. AND MIC'ED UP. JJ Fever, catch it.

 

[InstaFace]

As I suspected, Buffalo Special has an UrbanDictionary entry.

Quality message boarding that you can't get anywhere else, right here.

 

[patinorange]

I'm really not sure how you could have anticipated the 'over'

Someday he may actually contribute in some minor way to a big game

 

[johnmd20]

Watt hasn’t won a big game in his life.

He's generally lost every big game he's ever played. Which is fine, I don't even hate Watt, it's just exhausting that this one fucking guy is getting all the coverage. Where is the love for Hopkins? Watson? Allen?

 

[Al Zarilla]

MOAR WATT.

MOOOOOAR.

They still could have his fund raising in Houston after Katrina story in their back pocket. That was actually a good thing, of course.
