Week 15 Game Thread

[Senator Donut]

An obviously injured Tom Savage was forced to stay in the game because the Texans don't have a third quarterback active. Predictably, he threw an interception.

 

[soxhop411]

Let's go SD!

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Green Bay has 90 yards between them and the No. 1 seed (most likely). Come on Bills defense, get a stop!

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

GB needs to go 90 yards in 1:58 with no TOs.  Wouldn't bet against them though.

 

[soxhop411]

“@TroyRenck: #Broncos Manning playing with flu-like symptoms…. Bears watching how effective can be. Figured would pass more. Not certain now.”

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Melvin Ingram picking up where he left off last week.

 

[johnmd20]

How is that a safety?

 

[ifmanis5]

Safety for the Bills as the strip Rodgers.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Seattle controls their own destiny now. Yikes.

 

[Senator Donut]

Holy roller rule safety. Now I've seen it all.

 

[shawnrbu]

Awesome ruling.
 
Seattle is now the favorite to repeat. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Would have been a safety anyway.

 

[Senator Donut]

How is that a safety?

Only Rodgers can advance his own fumble on 4th down or under two minutes.

 

[soxhop411]

Manning with flu like symptoms is good news for us.

 

[ifmanis5]

How is that a safety?

Only Rodgers can advance it so the spot goes back to the recovery point which is in the endzone so it's a safety.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Seattle is now the favorite to repeat. 

 
There's no way this is the case.

 

[johnmd20]

Only Rodgers can advance his own fumble on 4th down or under two minutes.

 
I did not know the full rule there. I learned something.

 

[Helmet Head]

What if he just punched the ball forward?

 

[tims4wins]

Denver at Cincy next week is gonna be a war as well

 

[Ed Hillel]

What if he just punched the ball forward?

 
illegal batting, penalty in the end zone, safety.
 
And the ball goes back to the spot of the fumble anyway.

 

[jsinger121]

Green Bay has still never won a game in Buffalo.

 

[shawnrbu]

 
There's no way this is the case.

 
I think Seattle is going to be the Vegas favorite in all of their remaining games (assuming they do not lose).  Doesn't that make them the favorite?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Easily Rogers worst game of his career yeah?

 

[Stitch01]

Trip to Seattle is not a great prospect for GB

 

[tims4wins]

SD has been so hot and cold this year. They may lose out. Or win out. I have no idea. Channing my Cafardo.

 

[johnmd20]

Easily Rogers worst game of his career yeah?

 
First game of his career with 0 TD's and 2 INT's.

 

[shawnrbu]

Buffalo played Manning and Rodgers back to back and allowed 0 TD passes. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
I think Seattle is going to be the Vegas favorite in all of their remaining games (assuming they do not lose).  Doesn't that make them the favorite?

 
Pats will still be the favorites, but Seattle should jump clearly into the second spot if they win now (which they should).

 

[bankshot1]

good win for the Bills

 

[Sportsbstn]

 
I think Seattle is going to be the Vegas favorite in all of their remaining games (assuming they do not lose).  Doesn't that make them the favorite?

 
Only if they are at home for all of those.  NO CHANCE they are favored in Green Bay

 

[WayBackVazquez]

More 4th quarter heroics from the great Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Seattle still has very tough games against the Rams and Arizona.

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
Only if they are at home for all of those.  NO CHANCE they are favored in Green Bay

 
If Seattle wins out this year, they will be the 1 seed.
 

Seattle still has very tough games against the Rams and Arizona.

 
If Arizona scores more than 6 points on offense against Seattle, I will be surprised. I'd give decent odds for Seattle's D to outscore Arizona's O.

 

[brandonchristensen]

SD has no shot.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I was smelling a pick 6 there

 

[Ed Hillel]

Nice throw, Pey.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The Peyton Manning rollout from the 1 is always the best.

 

[Sportsbstn]

SD has no shot.

They do if Denver keeps kicking FG

 

[bball831]

Thanks Peyton!  2nd and goal at the 1 and the Broncos are gashing the Chargers on the ground and it's time to get Peyton some stats. 

 

[Jnai]

that was more pre-snap movement than I've ever seen in SF/SEA

 

[Ed Hillel]

Damn, Arrington hurt Matthews one week too much.

 

[brandonchristensen]

nice job SD

 

[Ed Hillel]

The officials didn't see the throw?

 

[Sportsbstn]

how bad are the refs to miss that

 

[richgedman'sghost]

I don't get that ruling

If you remember the Holy Roller Fumble Play from the 1970s when Ken Stabler of the Raiders fumbled the ball as he was getting sacked and Dave Casper recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown on the last play of the game to beat the Chargers, then you would understand the wisdom of the rule. Plus, as Ed mentions, it would have been a safety anyway.

 

[tims4wins]

The Jets play such fast games. It's like they want to get them over as quickly as possible.

 

[bigsid05]

Seattle D-line would eat the Pats OL alive. Damn.

 

[Jnai]

The fumble-recovered-by-another-player rule would make sense if the ball could be advanced no further than the original line of scrimmage.

 

[fieldslikebuckner]

Can cbs switch into the Broncos game if jets game ends before 7?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Good no-call in the SF-SEA game, the WR was trying to work back for the ball
