Thurs. Nite Football - Bengals or Dolphins - who to root for?

[Sciz]

Not a good start for Brandon Thompson. Many people were upset at Belichick for passing on him multiple times.

 

[Pat Riot]

If the dolphins win, can you imagine the jets fans reaction? Hahaha!

 

[Ozymandias]

Dirty block by Williams.

 

[Ozymandias]

Way to stare down your receiver, Dalton. Poor decision and an even worse throw.

 

[JMC00]

Players are dropping like flies this year.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Passing Yards: 4th
QBR: 6th
TDs: 4th
Comp pct: 8th
YDs/A: 6th

Time to see if Dalton comes back to Earth, or he somehow took a crazy leap in year 3.

Answered so far.

Sturgis needed that one. The kid was one more missed kick away from being cut.

Gostkowski had a case of the yips as a rookie.

A lot of football observers still don't believe in Dalton. Tonight he's showing why. Just awful
5m

Andy Dalton terrible. Can't see #Bengals advancing deep in playoffs after this tonight

So after several excellent games Dalton has a bad 1st half, not helped by a drop on a huge gain and now he's a stiff?

Look I was never in the guy's fan club but these mediots are fickle, turning on a dime

 

[BradyBranch39]

as is normal for TNF, neither of these teams looks any good.

It must be awful being a young guy on national TV screwing up and knowing you screwed up in front of everyone you know and everyone they know. Glad for him he made that last kick.

Thursday Night Football.....seemed like a good idea

every game I've seen so far this season has been a real dog show...horrid

move it to Friday...or Saturday

 

[Ozymandias]

Gostkowski had a case of the yips as a rookie.

While that is true, had Sturgis missed that last one he would've been 1 for his last 7. Not even Gost as a rookie was that terrible.

Sturgis' confidence looks completely shot. I'd suspect the Dolphins will be holding tryouts soon.

They can't do that unless they want to risk antitrust lawsuits.

 

[patsinthesnow]

"TNF is a pretty poor product Roger. What should we do?"

"Let's make it TMF. Tuesday Morning Football. 7 am kickoff"

"..."

"done deal."

Which I'm sure will boost his confidence even more.

[Ghost's yips weren't quite that bad, but he did have a stretch where he went 2-for-5 in his rookie season.

oh...so someone OWNS Friday and Saturday nights?...I'm naive so humor me...they have Saturday games at the end of December...what is the basic roadblock?

Friday night is HS football and Saturday is college. I believe that the issue is that specifics of the phony antitrust legislation enabling the NFL to draft players unwillingly prohibits the league from competing in the venue.

The antitrust exemption that allows the NFL to function prohibits it from having games on Fridays and Saturdays during the college football regular season.

If Atkins is out for any given amount of time that is a major development for the Bengals and the AFC.
