Week 16 Game Thread

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Giants get a break?

The least-penalized team in the league, yo.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I kind of like 4th and mid better for the Giants.

 

[InstaFace]

should've kicked the 55 yarder, they have 3 timeouts left to force a final possession.

 

[Average Reds]

Hey ... that's new.

 

[staz]

Oh that's DPI

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Football just gets harder and harder to watch. No consistency in what's a pass interference call or a personal foul.

And Collinsworth seems to be reveling in it.

 

[Average Reds]

Oh that's DPI

Well, yeah.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hey Cris shut the fuck up, for once.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

should've kicked the 55 yarder, they have 3 timeouts left to force a final possession.

Still can right?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Pass here?

 

[InstaFace]

I throw a screen, something that'll be completed.

edit: ...so, not that.

 

[DukeSox]

This is so satisfying.

 

[21st Century Sox]

screaming for a pass here....could be easy pitch and catch.

 

[Average Reds]

I throw a screen, something that'll be completed.

I like that here.

Edit: I don't like the play they actually called.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

You think odds of making a 55 yarder and then holding them 3-and-out, and then getting back into FG range and then making the FG are better than picking up 6 yards and then punching it in from 20?

You're wrong.

 

[DanoooME]

That was fucking dumb

 

[shoosh77]

He's gotta get more air under that one. Ballsy

 

[troparra]

Stupid. Jeez. That's just stupid.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Right arm held the whole way lol.

 

[Section15Box113]

Why throw?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That was stupid. Now you give the Giants the middle of the field.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

screaming for a pass here....could be easy pitch and catch.

I think I wouldve dumped it to Sproles every play

 

[InstaFace]

You're wrong.

I think yards between the 20s come much easier than yards in the red zone, because the defense has more things to worry about.

4th and 1, yes I go for it. 4th and 6, in kickable range for Robbie Gould, I think you're better off taking that FG.

edit: and it would've been pick up 6 and then punch it in from the 32.

 

[Average Reds]

Stop missing tackles. Fuck.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

I agree w your first point. But, still need bunch of other things to happen.

As to second point, you're still wrong. =)

 

[shoosh77]

Stupid timeout left for them

Here comes a crappy PI and then a floater to ODJ

 

[troparra]

I can't believe the Giants had a timeout left.

 

[InstaFace]

As to second point, you're still wrong. =)

I know we're just BS'ing on a message board here, but if you have the actual percentages involved, I'd be interested to see 'em.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

They were incredibly fast at getting back to the line.

 

[DanoooME]

Wow, 3 man rush actually got there

 

[DanoooME]

Eli had OBJ and missed him

 

[InstaFace]

Does Eli have a porn 'stashe, or is that just the shadowing?

 

[staz]

OBJ was open

 

[shoosh77]

FACE!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

S U C K I T E L I ! !

 

[DanoooME]

Looked like a Wentz throw right there

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Ha.

 

[troparra]

Terrible throw.

 

[Average Reds]

Once again, that's different.

Not sure how to react. (Lol.)

 

[Al Zarilla]

No clinchy for you, ha ha.

 

[InstaFace]

happy holidays everybody!

 

[mikeot]

Hahaha!!

 

[normstalls]

Eli face to end it. Fun

 

[Greg29fan]

Thanks Philly - Merry Christmas!

 

[ilol@u]

That no call on the Shepard pass on 4th down was criminal. But hey. Screw the Giants.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

I know we're just BS'ing on a message board here, but if you have the actual percentages involved, I'd be interested to see 'em.

I don't. But I agree, would be interesting to see the percentages on that one. I might do some digging tomorrow.

 

[Stitch01]

Think Id bet on the Giants converting a 4th down and 6 straight up over Robbie Gould hitting a 55 yard FG in that spot.

I see dated data that league wide converting six yards is ~45%, kicking is call it ~55%.

Kicking a field goal there would be gross.

Brandon Marshall, AJ Derby, Virgil Green and TJ Ward all OUT Sunday for Broncos. Derek Wolfe is questionable. He's sick.

The Vikings are being unloaded two at a time on a fire ladder. They're still at the Appleton airport, with kickoff less than 14 hours away at Lambeau Field.

 

[DanoooME]

Cam Newton is putrid so far: 2-11, 28 yards and a pick
