Week 17 Game Thread

[Fred in Lynn]

Wow. There's a turnaround.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

To be fair, it was a 10-second segment between plays and that was the only game they mentioned specifically.

True but when Al starts lauding the NFL then don't mention the game with the team not playing most of its starters.

 

[Pete Williams]

I'd like to have picture in picture with Jerry Jones on screen at all times.  I hate that guy and I'd love to see him in misery.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Old hands

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Do we find out after the game that Monte Kiffin has had advanced dementia since training camp.

 

[shawnrbu]

Nick Foles has a 120 QB Rating and didn't make the Pro Bowl.

In that shot of him in the booth i was hoping someone was going to check a pulse

 

[Oil Can Dan]

Nick Foles has a 120 QB Rating and didn't make the Pro Bowl.

And a 25-2 TD to INT ratio (at the time - up to 27-2 now).

 

[LondonSox]

Kendricks is the MVP???? what the fuck are you talking about. Fletcher cox and Ryans have both been clearly more important. Let alone Mccoy and Foles and Jackson

 

[budcrew08]

If this game can be 17-10 or 17-14, Cowboys could have a shot in the second half.

 

[DanoooME]

Kyle Orton runs a lot like Drew Bledsoe - awkwardly

 

[Oil Can Dan]

I think Al Michaels is hammered.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

And a 25-2 TD to INT ratio (at the time - up to 27-2 now).

Who made it ahead of him ?

Brees

Newton

Wilson

Those three all have been great

I would have left Newton off

 

[shawnrbu]

The Viper is getting in that place, Michael.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Maybe quadruple-cover Whitten?

 

[LondonSox]

I'm not mad about foles being left off, as good as he's been he's only started like 9-10 games. JAckson being left off for Bryant is fucking dumb though

 

[Oil Can Dan]

Brees

Newton

Wilson

I would have thought long and hard about Foles over Brady.  And I'd have gone Foles over Rivers no doubt.

 

[LondonSox]

Out of bounds stop the clock.... call a timeout? huh

 

[shawnrbu]

Why did Dallas call timeout with 23 seconds remaining?

 

[DanoooME]

Why the hell did Dallas call time out so soon?

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Why a TO on 4th down if they're kicking the FG?

 

[radsoxfan]

Minor issue, but not waiting til a few seconds left in the half to call the TO there shows a pretty bad lack of awareness by Garrett.
 
Just dumb management, shouldnt even be kicking off here.

 

[LondonSox]

Well either the clock was already stopped (my thought) and it's weird. OR it isn't and makes no sense

 

[radsoxfan]

Out of bounds stop the clock.... call a timeout? huh

 
Wasnt out of bounds, ref kept the clock running because forward progress was stopped.
 
The immediate timeout was just moronic.

I stand corrected, in which case... wtf even more

 

[Grimace-HS]

I would have to think any Dallas fan would take a 7-point game at halftime, especially with the fairly clean play by Orton (minus the INT).

 

[mikeford]

Jason Garrett doesnt get caught up in in-game minutiae like clock management

 

[Greg29fan]

I would have to think any Dallas fan would take a 7-point game at halftime, especially with the fairly clean play by Orton (minus the INT).

 
Dallas making the killer mistakes as usual in a big game.  Fumble because Murray doesn't have the ball secured tightly and a Witten drop

 

[radsoxfan]

I stand corrected, in which case... wtf even more

 
Just a classic panic move.
 
Was very unlikely to make a difference since most likely the Eagles were going to kneel barring a big return.  But if I was a Cowboys fan, wouldn't make me feel great about his situational awareness in general.  Thats dumb football.

It's not exactly breaking news

 

[Stitch01]

Was at the game, belated loooooool at McCarthy kicking down 8

 

[Freddy Linn]

I can't believe Hines Ward draws a paycheck from NBC.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Why do fantasy football guys talk three times as fast like a used salesman?

 

[LondonSox]

I expect to see a lot more aggressive play calling on both sides of the ball in the 2nd half from the eagles. The only eagles type moment from them was the post int 30 second drive.

[DanoooME]

Hey Chip, that pass protection fix isn't working too well.

 

[Jnai]

If you're going to be sacked, you might as well throw the ball at the ground these days.

 

[Ed Hillel]

You watch this shit and can't help but be bitter on the grounding called against Brady in the Superbowl. It's such horseshit.

 

[cshea]

Holy shit, Jon Kitna

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a great way to run a team. Taking open texts for backup QB.

 

[Greg29fan]

Jon Kitna looks like he ate 4 Jon Kitnas

 

[Ed Hillel]

Obviously, Kitna didn't send pics in his request.

 

[LondonSox]

oh look murray lowered his crown

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Pat Chung run the fuck over.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Average teacher salary: $35,000

Being on an NFL roster for one week: $50,000

 

[LondonSox]

This reminds me of the bad old days of getting too conservative vs tampa bay. Get pressure come on D

 

[mascho]

So that's all I had to do? Damn. Missed my window.

 

[Greg29fan]

Maybe they'll call Philly for OPI on pick plays too.

 

[Oil Can Dan]

First QB hit on Orton all game I believe...

 

[Greg29fan]

If Orton gets knocked out I think I'd rather go with Roger Staubach
