Week 13 NFL Game Thread

[BigSoxFan]

Let that be the beginning of a Ravens luck reset

 

[Stevie1der]

Such a fucking ‘look at me’ coaching decision. So glad it backfired.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The bitterness to joy ratio shift these last few posts is hilarious

 

[Ferm Sheller]

RECOVERED!

 

[cshea]

For at least 27 hours, the Patriots are the #1 seed

 

[jsinger121]

Huge win for Pittsburgh

 

[Obscure Name]

Hilarious.

 

[johnmd20]

Tucker is such a slick kicker.

 

[bankshot1]

that was a helluva game

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Thanks for the 1 seed Ravens

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Confusing, considering you have who is probably the best kicker to play the game on your team.

 

[johnmd20]

Seriously, watch that onside kick again.

Truly impressive.

 

[thebtskink]

#1 seed Patriots

 

[patinorange]

Wide open. Steelers defense is horrific.
But yeah Steelers.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Thanks for no OT.

 

[Catcher Block]

Maybe Harbaugh can donate some bonus money to take the sting out of this one.

CURRENT TOP SEED NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

They had the play. The Steelers were on their heels.

Lamar missed the pass.

 

[RoDaddy]

top seed baby!

 

[Remagellan]

No tears here for the Ravens. Gentlemen, do your jobs tomorrow night.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Harbaugh will complain about the rule where you have to actually catch the ball on a two pint coversion

 

[johnmd20]

CURRENT TOP SEED NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

The AFC is wide open.

 

[heavyde050]

Seattle got away with one there. Jones probably should have been flagged there.

 

[Seels]

Great game. Might be the first time I've rooted for Pitt in 15 years.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Kinda looked like a blatant defensive holding in Seattle.

 

[8slim]

I love how heavy breathing gets a PI in the first 59 minutes. Then inside of 1 you’re allowed to stab the receiver in the neck.

 

[mostman]

That’s PI in Seattle.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I like the call, more teams should try to win games instead of hoping to win in OT. If you don't have confidence in your ability to get 2 yards how confident can you be about getting a stop and driving for a score.

 

[johnmd20]

4th and goal for SF. 22 seconds left. They call a Time out.

Announcer is like, "And they are. . . .out of timeouts." Like it was huge.

It's not huge.

 

[DanoooME]

Sidney Jones mugged that guy in the end zone on 3rd and goal

 

[johnmd20]

Kinda looked like a blatant defensive holding in Seattle.

It was a blatant penalty.

 

[snowmanny]

Lamar missed the pass because someone was flying in his face with arms up and he had to push it just a little outside.

 

[patinorange]

Jimmy. Looks great. Looks horrible. Looks great. Looks horrible.

 

[DanoooME]

First game Dunlap showed up to all year.

 

[heavyde050]

Kinda looked like a blatant defensive holding in Seattle.

It was.

 

[DJnVa]

I need to say it again--the New England Patriots are currently the #1 seed in the AFC.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

I like the call, more teams should try to win games instead of hoping to win in OT. If you don't have confidence in your ability to get 2 yards how confident can you be about getting a stop and driving for a score.

I think a good team should expect to execute better over a series of plays versus a single play, considering how much variance there is in a single play. I think it makes a lot more sense for bad teams to go for 2 in that situation.

 

[mostman]

Tucker is such a slick kicker.

Really loved that on side technique. It would be a lot of fun to watch him practice.

 

[lars10]

Seattle got away with one there. Jones probably should have been flagged there.

He held the receiver the entire route and didn't even let him break back into the center of the end zone.. if that's not pass interference or holding.. I'm not sure what is.

 

[Remagellan]

It just occurred to me that the Seahawks have the same record as the Giants, and the Seahawks had to win and the Giants to lose today for that to be the case.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Wait was that Was Welker on the SF sideline? Was not expecting that cameo…had no idea he was on their staff.

 

[tims4wins]

I need to say it again--the New England Patriots are currently the #1 seed in the AFC.

It’s so hard to believe. The world is going to explode if they pull this off.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Calm down, Seattle. You ain’t even in the ‘in the hunt’ graphic.

 

[heavyde050]

He held the receiver the entire route and didn't even let him break back into the center of the end zone.. if that's not pass interference or holding.. I'm not sure what is.

Yeah, for sure. I mean that has to be a penalty.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I like the call, more teams should try to win games instead of hoping to win in OT. If you don't have confidence in your ability to get 2 yards how confident can you be about getting a stop and driving for a score.

The problem is you are putting the entire game on one play that’s, what, 50-55 percent to succeed?

If I’m better than my opponent, I feel better about executing more plays over a larger sample than my opponent.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Lamar missed the pass because someone was flying in his face with arms up and he had to push it just a little outside.

Watt. That dude is insanely good.

 

[heavyde050]

Wait was that Was Welker on the SF sideline? Was not expecting that cameo…had no idea he was on their staff.

Yes. He is on the SF staff.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

I love football. That was nuts.

 

[lars10]

I think a good team should expect to execute better over a series of plays versus a single play, considering how much variance there is in a single play. I think it makes a lot more sense for bad teams to go for 2 in that situation.

Especially since his team had just gone down he field with ease right before the play. If you're the better team you kick and go to overtime and if you don't with the coin flip you kick the ball deep and expect your D to hold.

Was just gonna say this. Ravens made the wrong call. They were the better team. Should have played a longer game.

 

[trekfan55]

How the hell did the Niners manage to blow that game?

Cannot believe it.
