NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Thanksgiving Games Thread GB @ Lions, KC @ DAL, Cin @ Balt

Chiefs and Ravens lose. Nice side dish today for Thanksgiving.

Baltimore gets squashed at home by the Bengals. I am enjoying a pleasantly reserved chuckle at their expense. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

 

[NFL Mystique]

The Patriots should be able to go in to Baltimore and make a game of it. Might be an understatement.

Look at what the Bengals just did.

Man…wild card is WIDE open. Also, I think a win vs NYG might clinch a playoff spot for NE because they couldn’t finish with more than 6 losses. Not sure about tie breakers though in the unlikely event one or more of the other teams run the table

They should go in there and roll.

The only good thing to come from these silly Thanksgiving post game meal segments over the years is the Wilfork clip

I dunno. Balto did itself in with a bunch of turnovers tonight, not something you can count on. And they will be desperate unless they completely implode between now and then. I expect it will be challenging regardless.

Again, no credit given to the Patriots. It's truly incredible, you people.
The Ravens just got smoked, at home, by the team that we beat on the road 3 days ago.

Bengals are the best team in their division.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Lamar looks awful. Not running much for some reason. His passing was lousy. The Ravens OL looks bad and their DL is nothing special. Must have been drafting poorly.

I still think Zay Flowers could be special but he needs an accurate QB. He is not a long ball guy.

To be fair they’re a different team with Burrow.

 

[TommyD4207]

I'm convinced the Patriots could win the Super Bowl, and there'd still be 15 people here saying 'I dunno, I'm scared of Kansas City'.

Burrow was 23/45 tonight. He wasn't good.

 

[signbabybrady]

LoL at the Superbowl talk with this line and coaching we have no shot

 

[PatsFan2]

Burrow was 23/45 tonight. He wasn't good.

Troy Aikman thinks he's the best in the Game when healthy. Don't shoot the messenger.

Troy Aikman's taken one too many shots to the head, and got in the hall of fame handing the ball off to Emmitt Smith, and throwing slants to Michael Irvin.

The best in the game plays home games in Foxboro. At the very least, the best in the conference.

After today, how could you say any different?

Best coach, best QB. That's a pretty solid foundation.

I have AMPLE faith in the Patriots. But I said a while back we shouldn't expect these remaining games will be a cakewalk (Jete and Miami possibly excepted). And we both know what we saw tonight was not the same Bengals team from last week.

 

[patfanken]

Anyone else still think the Pats should’ve drafted Lamar Jackson in 2018?

No we shouldn't have. Were you going to sit him for a minimum of 2 years and run 2 totally different offenses, because, as good as he is now, in 2018-2019 he wasn't running Tom Brady's offense.

When the Ravens drafted Jackson they committed to changing their entire offense to suit Jackson's skills, the Pats weren't ready to do that nor should we have. Jackson was one of those lucky QBs who landed, like Brady, Montana, Manning, landed in the best team possible for his career.

There's a big difference between expecting cakewalks (The fact the Patriots roster is objectively incomplete and now dealing with injuries means they can absolutely lose to anyone if they stars align) - and being outwardly fearful of .500 football teams, that play like .500 football teams, are bad on the road, and get blown out at home.

That's what's crazy to me. Mahomes played his best game of the season on Thanksgiving, and they still lost, to another .500 team.

Bengals playing the Ravens tough...maybe pats did okay

and today's CIN team was better than the one we played
