Week 10 Other NFL Games

[gronkykong]

this week has been full of wonderful surprises

 

[raduray]

JJ Watt's gonna be a TV star when he retires.

 

[ausbacker]

Not really. In both cases it came down to a final drive. The only real difference is a dropped INT by a Giants safety.

No, there is a significant difference. The Patriots beat the Giants, the Bengals did not beat the Texans. Frame it whichever way you want but one won, the other lost. That is irrefutable.

 

[JMC00]

Only 3 out of 14 home teams won games this week

 

[Deus Irae]

Interesting dynamic for next week. Bengals, coming off a big loss at home will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals, who are coming off a huge win on the road.

 

[Deus Irae]

No, there is a significant difference. The Patriots beat the Giants, the Bengals did not beat the Texans. Frame it whichever way you want but one won, the other lost. That is irrefutable.

I'm not framing anything. You are the one doing that. I never made any claim that the two situations were 100% alike. My quote's right here:

Anyone watching the Patriots against the Giants could ask pretty much the same question.

If Collins holds on the an easy INT, the Patriots and Bengals both lose to inferior teams this week.

 

[Rob0729]

Remember all that talk about a 15-1 team maybe not getting a bye? There might be only one 15-1 team at the end, its damn hard to go 15-1 never mind 16-0.

I am still holding to that statement. I still don't put it past the NFL to find some kind of loophole that even if the the Pats are 15-1 that they have to play on the road Wild Card weekend.

Hilarious thing is if you use the logic he is trying to use about the two Pats SB losses and how both games came down to 2 dropped balls by Patriots players he'd call you an idiot

I'm fairly certain you're the one framing here Deus. Did the Pats get lucky on the last drive? Sure. Did the Pats win? Yes. Did the Bengals get lucky on the last drive? No. Did the Bengals win? No. That's as straightforward as it comes.

 

[Todd Bradley]

I am still holding to that statement. I still don't put it past the NFL to find some kind of loophole that even if the the Pats are 15-1 that they have to play on the road Wild Card weekend.

Considering only two AFC teams have one loss, and there are two Byes, that would be virtually impossible to happen.

It's a strange one given every play, in every game, counts for something.

 

[SVN]

So who is the texans starting QB ?

 

[Deus Irae]

I'm fairly certain you're the one framing here Deus. Did the Pats get lucky on the last drive? Sure. Did the Pats win? Yes. Did the Bengals get lucky on the last drive? No. Did the Bengals win? No. That's as straightforward as it comes.

Ok, I'm not going to bandy the language with you when you're jumping into something and getting it wrong. You keep pretending you got something here when you don't.

Have a nice night.

Considering only two AFC teams have one loss, and there are two Byes, that would be virtually impossible to happen.

Check article 42, subsection 15 of the NFL rule book that states if the Pats are the only 15-1 team in the AFC, they forfeit home field advantage and must play on the road Wild Card weekend.

Either my attempt of humor sucks or your reading comprehension does.

 

[rexxar]

Marvin Lewis calling out specific players by name in front of the media.. you don't do that.

 

[shmessy]

Someone tell Torrico that it doesn't matter if it is an incompletion or fumble.

None of those ESPN guys are Mensa material.

 

[IllegalContact]

Except the Patriots beat their bogey team in their house. The Bengals lost to their bogey team in their own house. Small difference in situations.

And now the bengals get to go to Arizona

 

[ausbacker]

Have a nice night.

I'd prefer you didn't throw a hissy fit when an alternative opinion to yours is presented Deus. Either way, if that's the way it's gotta be, then have a fine evening yourself. Happy to be outright at the #1.

 

[TommyD4207]

Marvin Lewis calling out specific players by name in front of the media.. you don't do that.

How great would it be if they start 8-0 and finish like 9-7?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Road teams were 11-3 this weekend. Is that some kind of record?
