Wild Card Weekend Gamethread

[Stitch01]

Raiders feel pretty good about that wuarter

 

[E5 Yaz]

Gruden says Brock pulled out early.

PN

 

[shawnrbu]

How bad of a QB are you when fans of your team wish the guy that threw 0 TDs was playing instead?

Talk to Drew Bledsoe in 2000.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Nothing better than players randomly pointing that their team has the ball.

Do they think the Refs are not going to check and just be like well 53 says they have the ball so why not.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Exactly why I hate O/U

Its kinda ironic. The offenses are so bad, it creates offense for the other team.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

If NE faces either one of these teams, the Pats ought to start Brissett next week. Keep Brady and Garrapolo healthy.

 

[bankshot1]

Third string rookie quarterback against Houston's defense?

not that I expect it but it IIRC earlier this year Houston yielded 27 points to a wholly untested 3rd string rookie QB

Like i was saying...

 

[pokey_reese]

Man, Houston is gonna give this game up, aren't they?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Remember when Deandre Hopkins supposedly was ready to sit out if he didn't get a contract extension? He must be counting the days until the end of next year.

 

[DJnVa]

Man, Houston is gonna give this game up, aren't they?

You say that like they're big favorites. They suck.

 

[eustis22]

Raiders have some pep back

 

[Captaincoop]

You say that like they're big favorites. They suck.

Well, they were up 10-0 at home against a team with a complete noob playing QB.

 

[DJnVa]

Jesus, pay attention Crabtree.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Crabtree sucks....12 drops.

 

[DJnVa]

Well, they were up 10-0 at home against a team with a complete noob playing QB.

BROCK!

 

[semsox]

Raiders are going to win this game.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Not like Crabtree there.

 

[Average Reds]

How do you miss that?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Crabtree's game has "JETS" written all over it.

 

[Stitch01]

That was a pick if on target

 

[pokey_reese]

You say that like they're big favorites. They suck.

Oh, I know they suck (I picked OAK in the other thread), but they also jumped out to a 10-0 lead.

 

[pokey_reese]

Oakland special teams keeping them in this one.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

What's the spread if either of these teams go to Foxboro next week?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Osweiller about to pull a Poo Pierce

 

[Cellar-Door]

Cook struggling in the final start of his career

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Oakland special teams keeping them in this one.

This game is a great example of why BB focuses on special teams. Even if your offense sucks, if you get them field position you can hang around...and if your defense has to defend long fields, it helps.

He must look at BOB's Houston team and think "did you learn nothing in NE?"

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Plunkett's going to be in pads by the middle of the third quarter.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Man, Houston is gonna give this game up, aren't they?

They got a field goal on a three and out after a crappy punt and a TD after taking over on the four. If Oakland can turn around the field position battle like they have been doing, they look a bit more dangerous.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Pulling for Oakland in this one and snow next Saturday night for nostalgia's sake

 

[pokey_reese]

Here's the Oakland defense we're used to. How do they not know to put all of their eggs in the TE basket on defense?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Headhunt?

 

[johnmd20]

Headhunt?

He jumped at his legs and Hopkins slid. No head hunting there.

 

[pokey_reese]

Gonna be a long day if the defenders fall down, should have been a three yard gain.

 

[pappymojo]

Nothing better than players randomly pointing that their team has the ball.

Do they think the Refs are not going to check and just be like well 53 says they have the ball so why not.

Didon't this exact thing happen this year? Refs awarding the ball to a player because he said he had it.

 

[Captaincoop]

This game has been a lot more entertaining than I expected.

 

[pokey_reese]

Come on Oakland, keep this to a FG.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Come on Oakland, keep this to a FG attempt.

 

[Stitch01]

Big drive there got out of the shitty field
Position and got points.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

That screen play calling was awful at the start.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He jumped at his legs and Hopkins slid. No head hunting there.

Went back, right.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Osweiler offers an unfortunate combination of a slow release, predetermining his throw pre-snap regardless of the post-snap look and poor ball placement.

Can only imagine what it looks like on the All-22

 

[Old Fart Tree]

What's the spread if either of these teams go to Foxboro next week?

Pats -13.5?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Does Mel Kiper have any other job than preparing for the draft and attending the draft itself?

 

[Old Fart Tree]

That was goofy as hell

 

[DJnVa]

The QB that's never started a game before *seems* like he has a chance to be better today than the guy that got the huge contract. Sports is funny.

EDIT: That's more of a critique of Brock.

 

[pokey_reese]

God, JJ Watt is huge.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Jesus can he target anyone but crab?

 

[Al Zarilla]

That was goofy as hell

If you're colorblind, could have been the Jets.

 

[JohnnyK]

Didon't this exact thing happen this year? Refs awarding the ball to a player because he said he had it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Both these teams are sheer buttcrack. Go Steelers.
