Week 12 Game Thread

Tickticktick in sf

 

[ilol@u]

Denver needs to win out and Patriots need to lose 2 of their remaining 5 games to get the #1 seed. I don't see it. 

 

[Leather]

Bunch of fucking worry worts in here.

"Oh no! The patriots, who have a 2 game lead on Denver an have been kicking the shit out of everyone for 2 months (including Denver) are the ones that are under a lot of pressure to secure that #1 seed!"

 

[mikeford]

Remember when RG3 was good?

 

[Shelterdog]

Suddenly next week's game in GB and the game at SD are much more important. Particularly if Den takes cares of KC, which I think is a very real possibility with them getting closer to full strength.

 
The Broncos (and the Fins) ain't running the table (the Pats probably aren't either)--most teams are going to lose a somewhat surprising game somewhere in any five game swing.  

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yep. And even then, the Pats get the bye unless they finish like 1-4. I think the Pats would have a real good shot to win in Denver anyway.

 

[Jnai]

What a dumb penalty.

 

[H78]

Denver needs to win out and Patriots need to lose 2 of their remaining 5 games to get the #1 seed. I don't see it. 

But you thought it was a possibility that the Pats would lose at home to this Dolphins team and watch the Dolphins steal the AFC East and drop us to the #5 seed?

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

I really think it's only the fans who are thinking like that. I doubt Tom Brady is more worried now than he was 2 hours ago.

Brady has been studying the GB defense for the Last 2 Hours, so i hope you are right.

 

[hunter05]

What a stupid penalty

I think it's more we just want to see Denver fall apart like it looked like they might. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tough to defend in the NFL these days.

 

[ilol@u]

You can challenge/review a penalty?

 

[Senator Donut]

Remember when RG3 was good?

No, I think you're confusing him with Kirk Cousins.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Holy fucking shit. The Pats have a two game lead on the whole conference, have beaten all the other division leaders, and are on an epic roll where they are kicking the shit out if everyone. Enjoy the fucking journey for shit's sake.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Next week it'll be Brandon Bolden with 150 yards from scrimmage and at least two TDs.  It's always someone....

 

[Senator Donut]

You can review the circumstances that led to a penalty.

Exactly.

No? I never said that. I think Miami is over-hyped and was hoping they would win against Denver.

 

[Dollar]

My power went out, so I missed this.  Was it a "12 men on the field" penalty?  I'm pretty sure that's the only one you can review.

 

[H78]

What? I am. Stop overreacting to my point. What I'm saying is I preferred Denver to lose. Others preferred the Dolphins lose. I'm defending my point. Don't twist my words around.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

let's go 2PTConversion

 

[dcmissle]

Denver complains about penalties like no one else. Manning entitlement

 

[JerBear]

They reviewed to see if the ball was tipped.

 

[hunter05]

WTF was Ward doing

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Ward with one of the most egregious PIs you'll ever see there too, and he complained about it.  ARod-esque

 

[Senator Donut]

You can review a deflection before a pass interference as well as illegal forward passes (most famously after the Music City Miracle)

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

TJ Ward didn't think that was PI? lol

 

[Devizier]

A beautifully sloppy game. Fun to watch. Don't really care who wins but glad the game didn't suck.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol

 

[shawnrbu]

Only Phil Simms would think that was clever.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Maybe just getting off a better form kick is preferable...

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

oh well, no 2PT conversion.
 
Lets go Colts/AFC Black and Blue. I want the Broncos with a 3 seed.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why are they not kneeling?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

...Rabona onsides attempt?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Why are they not kneeling?

there may be like 2 seconds left.

 

[Jnai]

Crazy onside kick attempt that was awesome in theory and in practice fucking awful.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Nice run, smarty

 

[Three10toLeft]

Peyton would have kept running.

 

[shawnrbu]

Denver gets a bye if they go 4-1 or better, unless the 1 loss is to the Bengals and the Bengals run the table.

The kid from Rice did it better.

This is more of a week 13 comment but how are no AFC teams playing on Thanksgiving?

Apparently, the TV-driven imperative that either DET or DAL had to play an AFC opponent on Thanksgiving yielded to the competition-driven imperative that only divisional games are played on Thursdays. That's a good thing -- how often does a pro sports league subordinate its broadcast partners interests in the name of fair play? Kudos to the NFL -- they got something right.

Yeah, but the night game could have been two AFC teams.

Not exactly true. Dallas plays Chicago the following Thursday

 

[Van Everyman]

Seems like there's been a hundred Dallas prime time games this year.

The Patriots just about won the division today (before T-Day!!!). It's time to celebrate.

 

[Ed Hillel]

God watching Eli is depressing.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Goodell looks like death
