Week 5 NFL Game Thread

[Harry Hooper]

God, missed FGs hurt.

 
Yet strangely not mentioned by NBC in their highlights package on right now.

 

[Marciano490]

Can't really trust the Giants -8 right? Looks like a good game to tease down to -1 with the over.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I don't care what anyone says I love Eli Manning.

 

[hunter05]

I don't care what anyone says I love Eli Manning.

That's probably in poor taste.

I like the giants -8. So you should expect SF to win outright.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

San Fran is shitty.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That's probably in poor taste.

Fonz thumbs up.

I can't help it. He's such a goof and I like to imagine where he'd be if his dad and bro weren't NFL quarterbacks and he were raised as just another guy.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Mangini looks weird.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Did he just try to throw that long after he was tackled out of bounds?

 

[luckiestman]

Dude might have a psychotic episode. That was so weird

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kaep had 3 guys open and pulled it down.
He sees the field like (insert blind celeb).

 

[luckiestman]

Watching mangini for years with the Jets, I bet he is seething about that 12 men thing. That is the type of thing that really bothers him

Aunt Bea?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Dwyane Harris is abysmal.

 

[Dollar]

Just throw it up deep to Torrey Smith and hope for a flag.  I wonder if Flacco taught that one to Kaepernick at the Super Bowl a few years back.

I don't get why that wasn't dpi

Lack of Flacco

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Of course Tomsula would kick the FG.
 
GOTTA GET IT TO WITHIN A ONE SCORE GAME.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kicking there is the wrong decision, but at least 90% of NFL coaches do it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL this defense.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Oh Eli

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Little surprised the Giants are pushing the ball here.  It's great to see, but Tom typically packs it in when the GMen are up with little time left in a half.
 
Aaaand, he won't be doing it again anytime soon.

 

[rembrat]

Why not take the 3 points? 

 

[bankshot1]

Opie pissed away 3
 
Pa ain't gonna be happy

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Horrendous throw but beckham did a piss poor job trying to get inside position once the ball was up in the air

 

[Mugsy's Walk-Off Bunt]

I think I speak for everyone when I start the following sentence - "I will never understand how (edit: BB) lost two Super Bowls to..." oh never mind.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If it makes you feel better, Eli was really good in 2011 and the Giants were a better team with Gronk on one foot (fuck you, Pollard).

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhhhhh, that was nearly a Pick 6.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

I think patriots games make me lose my mind enough that there are scenarios in which I'd run onto the field to stop the clock, get arrested, but do it for the team!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That was textbook grounding - he definitely did not get the ball back to the LOS. 

 

[Dollar]

We'll be watching for you in January.  I'm sure Gost will appreciate it.

It would have been, but the ball was tipped, which I think negates it.

 

[Dollar]

How would that have worked with the offsides flag on the same play?  You'd think both penalties might off-set, but wouldn't that seem strange when you could throw an interception in that situation and not lose the ball?  It seems like anything that happens after the offsides can just be forgotten with the accepted penalty.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Colin Kaepernick might be on everyone's "QB who is crashing back to earth the fastest" list but he apparently gives zero fucks.

 

[Stitch01]

How was that illegal pick different from the many we saw called throughout the league earlier today?

 

[shawnrbu]

Not sure if I am more surprised that Eli is 12th all time in passing yards or that Kerry Collins is 13th.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Are Kaepernick ISIS jokes kosher?

 

[Ed Hillel]

They took the penalty?

 

[Stitch01]

Yeah that was weird SF is always punting there. Although given the play call seems fine

 

[rembrat]

Vintage Eli.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

My goodness Beckham is good at football

 

[shawnrbu]

Is October 11th too early to declare the Giants will win the Super Bowl?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hahahahahahahaahahha

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Soooooooo poorly coached.

 

[Dollar]

HOLY SHIT what the hell

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lol, to the game management thread!

 

[patinorange]

At least they didn't take a commercial.

 

[Stitch01]

It's just incredible there aren't close to 32 coaching staffs that can handle basic game management.

 

[Couperin47]

BB is playing chess, they are knapping flints in a cave

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

CC with the classic move of continuing to say what he believes against visual evidence.
