Week 2 Game Thread

[luckiestman]

Mike Evans can be my wingman any time

 

[mauf]

Officials sort out the brawl the right way.

 

[johnmd20]

Lattimore is great and he obviously gets under the skin of WRs but that was a clear PI and it didn't get called and then he started talking shit because his foul didn't get called.

Nonsense. The refs can really choke sometimes.

 

[Marciano490]

Lamar Jackson playing like a dude who bet a hundred million or so on himself.

 

[worm0082]

For a game that’s 3-3 in the 4th, very exciting.

 

[loshjott]

Can someone explain why Rivera would go for two down 8 early in the fourth. An EP would’ve made it a seven point game and if course th me two point try fails.

I was just wondering the same. Scott Hanson on Red Zone said that's what footbally analytics would have you do, but I don't really get it.

I get it if you're down 9, but not down 8...

 

[shawnrbu]

Tyreek Hill questionable to return (cramps).

That was utterly bizarre. The announcers are perplexed as well. It’s Rivera so it’s not out of the question that he genuinely thought it was a nine point differential.

It's because you likely need a 2 point conversion regardless, and if you're going to miss on the attempt, you'd rather it happen with a lot of time left than with no time left and no options.

 

[loshjott]

Now the Wash Swiss cheese defense is “bailing out” the bizarre decision.

 

[loshjott]

It's because you likely need a 2 point conversion regardless, and if you're going to miss on the attempt, you'd rather it happen with a lot of time left than with no time left and no options.

It’s moot now but down 7 you surely do not need a two point conversion to force OT. They were down 14 when they scored the TD that led to the decision.

No. They were down 8 so the extra point would have made it 7. Inexplicably Rivera went for 2. But as loshjott notes the D conveniently makes it moot by rolling over.

I actually wasn't following the game, I assumed that "down 8" meant before the TD. I get what you mean, it was down 8 after the TD and before the 2 point attempt. Sure, if you're down 14 and get a TD and your goal is to force OT, a 2 pt conversion makes no sense.

 

[shawnrbu]

Winston Pick 6 to end it.

 

[DanoooME]

And Winston pick-6ed

 

[worm0082]

Almost pick 6 again

 

[gattman]

Hill, Waddle & the Balt D doing all they can to make Tua look good. (That pass to Hill was under thrown but when you’re open by 7 yards I guess it doesn’t much matter).

 

[loshjott]

It was not a good pass.

 

[loshjott]

Wow and Miami just dropped a gift pick six.

 

[DanoooME]

So when do the calls for Sam Darnold start?

 

[loshjott]

Well now we know why Rivera went for two. Extra point shanked, Wash down nine.

 

[shawnrbu]

What is Riverboat Ron doing?

 

[gattman]

Well now we know why Rivera went for two. Extra point shanked, Wash down nine.

That was the most Wash thing ever . . . Of course if they hadn’t gone for 2 & hit the previous XP it would be a one score game now.

 

[DanoooME]

How the fuck do you not cover Tyreek Hill?

 

[loshjott]

Holy shit Miami. Ravens apparently forgot Hill is on the team.

 

[gattman]

How the hell do they allow Hill that wide open twice in a row?? Total f up by Balt D.

 

[JCizzle]

Tua has 430 yards of passing

 

[DanoooME]

Browns gonna Browns

 

[staz]

J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS!

 

[ngruz25]

Justin Tucker is absurd.

 

[DanoooME]

And now are the Jets gonna Jets?

 

[Dollar]

Browns gonna Jets

 

[Van Everyman]

Justin Tucker is absurd.

Tho that squib or whatever was terrible

 

[Ale Xander]

Gints are 2-0, weird

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

When two choking franchises collide.

 

[staz]

Jacoby....

 

[DanoooME]

Brissett gonna Browns

 

[heavyde050]

Lance is an awesome running back.
The 49ers have so many good rushing threats.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Hill is going to be the best thing to ever happen to Tua’s pro career.

 

[dirtynine]

Hill jeez

 

[Dollar]

Call a timeout Miami....

They waited about 10 seconds too long.

 

[speedracer]

lol Dolphins leaking :10 off the clock for no reason

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Miami let too much clock run there.

 

[soxin6]

The Ravens are doing their best to have the worst blown game of the season in week 2

 

[Ale Xander]

They’re probably saying the division is wide open on Sons of Mark Duper

 

[Van Everyman]

Tucker’s awful kickoff a sneaky goat here

 

[Dollar]

The Ravens are doing their best to have the worst blown game of the season in week 2

Even having the worst blown game of the last 20 minutes is pretty bad when you look at the Browns game.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Miami probably wishes they had that 10 seconds back now.

 

[Remagellan]

They’re probably saying the division is wide open on Sons of Mark Duper

If they can win this game, they have a right to feel that way.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Letting it run to 24 means you can only run the ball once without risking the clock expiring before you spend four downs
