Week 13 NFL Game Thread

[Ferm Sheller]

Dolphins going to be first 1-7 team to make the playoffs.

I'm not so sure. They've been dealt some tomato cans recently and they still have the Titans and Pats on their schedule.

 

[Remagellan]

The Cardinals are going to be 10-2 despite having been without their best player for a month. How come people are so reluctant to anoint them the best team in the NFL?

 

[jsinger121]

The Lions will blow this like usual

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Dolphins going to be first 1-7 team to make the playoffs.

Less impressive now that the NFL has decided to go the way of the NHL.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

No chance the Lions don't lose this game in some excruciating fashion.

Because it's Arizona and they are a perpetually fucked-up franchise. But they do seem to be at least top 3.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Matt Ryan woof

 

[shawnrbu]

Scoop and score for LAC.

 

[Remagellan]

Mike Zimmer--You have JJ, you have Theilen. Maybe try to pass for the two.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Mixon drops the ball on the carry, and Campbell takes it the other way for a TD for the Chargers.

 

[Bergs]

Why in the fuck would LAC be going for 2 there?

 

[shawnrbu]

Why are the Chargers going for 2 up 8?

 

[Bergs]

Mike Zimmer--You have JJ, you have Theilen. Maybe try to pass for the two.

Theilin is out.

 

[DanoooME]

Mike Zimmer--You have JJ, you have Theilen. Maybe try to pass for the two.

He doesn't have Thielen. He was hurt in the first half.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

How does Arthur Smith calculate that ATL can tie this game by punting on fourth and 12 from midfield down 10 with 7:30 left?

 

[Remagellan]

Why are the Chargers going for 2 up 8?

It would put them up ten, which is defensible given how much time is left.

 

[Remagellan]

He doesn't have Thielen. He was hurt in the first half.

Thanks, I'm watching on RedZone so I didn't know that. But it seems like they ran the same play on both two-point plays and didn't work either time.

 

[shoosh77]

New Canaan’s own Zach Allen with a very nice pick of Andy D.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brady has thrown 38 passes 10 yards or fewer today.

 

[Euclis20]

It would put them up ten, which is defensible given how much time is left.

Not really. The difference between up 9 and up 10 is far smaller than the difference between up 8 and up 9. The 2 point conversion chart is also pretty clear on this - under no circumstance do you go for 2 when the TD has put you up by 8.

Dink and dunk game manager.

Well, they scored another TD so it's all academic at this point.

 

[shawnrbu]

Surprised Chargers did not go for 2 up 15 to try to make it a 3 possession game.

 

[shawnrbu]

Will each road city the rest of the way give Ben a retirement gift?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

LOL, the fucking Lions everyone.

 

[JOBU]

No chance the Lions don't lose this game in some excruciating fashion.

Correct… it appears

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I think that was a fine call for a 0-10-1 team, Goff just sucks

 

[Remagellan]

LOL, the fucking Lions everyone.

I mean, I couldn't state it better.

 

[patinorange]

LOL, the fucking Lions everyone.

Incredible

 

[shawnrbu]

Burrow looked like Gretzky on that throw.

 

[strek1]

If the Lions can't win this game with the lead they had, just forfeit the rest of the year.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

2021's most interesting subplots on a weekly basis have been, how will the Lions blow this game, and how will the Ravens pull this one out of their ass.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

No Lions, try to let them score, Cook might have been dumb there

 

[Al Zarilla]

No, doesn't this game end with the Chargers helping Kellen Winslow off the field after a GW FG in OT?

What happened here?

 

[Remagellan]

2021's most interesting subplots on a weekly basis have been, how will the Lions blow this game, and how will the Ravens pull this one out of their ass.

This.

 

[kartvelo]

That was such a complete pass...

 

[Ferm Sheller]

2021's most interesting subplots on a weekly basis have been, how will the Lions blow this game, and how will the Ravens pull this one out of their ass.

And these two forces met up earlier in the season when Tucker nailed a 66-yarder, an NFL record, to win.

 

[Pandemonium67]

beaten to it

 

[Remagellan]

What happened here?

That's what the Bengals get for not going to Don Strock after Burrow hurt his finger.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brady is 10-0 against the Falcons.
Matt Ryan is 0-8 against Brady.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That's a first down in the Charger game but not sure that they can overturn it.

Nope, I'm wrong. Not a first down.

 

[kartvelo]

Lot of open field in front of Davis there...

 

[shawnrbu]

Gage drops the potential TD to cover on the last play of the game.

 

[johnmd20]

Honestly, the NFL has a LOT of nerve calling that on the Lions when they didn't call it against Baltimore.

 

[cshea]

Hochuli Jr is just as bad as Hochuli Sr

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Hochuli Jr is just as bad as Hochuli Sr

Is that the ref who just apologized to the crowd?

 

[patinorange]

Hochuli Jr is just as bad as Hochuli Sr

Chip off the old block.

 

[shawnrbu]

“Apologies for the delay.”

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Lions are the best.
