NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Game Day Thread [Was: Who to root for, NFL Week 11: Chefs at Donkeys, with poll; TV maps]

[Bill Lee]

BUF 31, TB 26 end of the third.

Tampa's gonna kick themselves if they lose this one.

Keep the tradition going of Boston getting players from Minnesota out of their misery — Ortiz, Garnett, Moss, Diggs….

I thought you were going to say the tradition of posting on these boards, "Can you imagine X with Brady?" But now it's Maye.

LAC taking it hard up the ass

Expected. Most overrated team / QB in the league.

LAC taking it hard up the ass

Chargers. 1pm. East Coast. On grass.

Really that's just stealing for gamblers.

 

[reflexblue]

There was an insanely blatant one in the Vikings-Bears game too, the ref is looking right at this lol

Ive noticed that over the last three weeks or so the reffs haven't been throwing nearly as many flags as they were for the first 4 or 5 weeks. Its made me wonder if the NYJF office has received a lot of complaints

 

[Bill Lee]

This is officially The Sean Tucker Game!

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I thought you were going to say the tradition of posting on these boards, "Can you imagine X with Brady?" But now it's Maye.

Happy to keep that one going too!

 

[VJCPatriot]

Wow touchdown Tucker for the Bucs! What a back and forth game.

 

[TommyD4207]

The corpse of Jordan Poyer rears its ugly head again.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I hope this is the Flacco we see next week. We’ll be in great shape if so.

His shoulder is a big issue. Hes mostly doing check downs since the last big hit

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Bucs have gone for 2 twice the first one needlessly and 0/2 now it's 32-31 if they just kicked both XPs it's 34-31.

I'm sure that won't come back and bite them.

 

[BobDigital]

Are the Pats the most consistent team in the NFL this year? I think you can kind of throw week 1 out for most of these teams. It is a bad data point. I would be curious how much of a difference if makes if a team has a hiccup or not in the regular season.

Their only loss was Pitt and even that was close with 5 turnovers vs a quality team. They haven't had a big time let down game this year if you don't count week 1. They arguably hold that mark. Just looking at other winnings teams. Here are some that have been the most consistent.

By ugly loss i typically mean more than a 2 score loss after week 1 or losing to a bad team by more than 1 score...

Pitt had a fairly bad loss to the LAC 10-25. That last TD was garbage time(3 minutes left). But at least LAC are a good team. Still ugly IMO.
Jags had an ugly loss to the Rams.
Bills with an Ugly one to Miami.
Philly with an ugly one to the Giants
Bears with a bad blow out week 2 loss to the Lions.
Bucs 25-9 vs Lions is pretty bad. But
SF with 2 ugly losses.


GB has no true ugly loss, though they have lost to more bad teams than they should have.
Seahawks no bad losses.
Rams no bad losses.
Lions had a 2 score loss to KC... but i don't think that is all that bad. I don't count their week 1 loss against them. Still of all the teams without an 'ugly loss' that is the worst IMO.
Colts haven't had a bad loss yet. Both 1 score games vs good teams.
Broncos have no bad losses. Again both 1 score games vs good teams.
KC lost to 4 teams but none were what I'd consider a bad and none big.

 

[Bill Lee]

0-2 on two pointers.

Hindsight is 100%, but even the announcers asked before the first one if it was too early to start chasing points.

 

[Ross12]

74 passing yards, a 45% completion pct, and 2 INTs for JJ McCarthy? Against an awful Bears defense? With Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson and a great OL? Am I reading that right?

 

[Arialgg]

Damn. Tampa failed to convert another two point try. Really should’ve just kicked the xp both times.

 

[Bill Lee]

Wow, Tampa's KR defense actually stopped someone!

 

[TommyD4207]

Wow, Tampa's KR defense actually stopped someone!

In fairness the guy fumbled first.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

74 passing yards, a 45% completion pct, and 2 INTs for JJ McCarthy? Against an awful Bears defense? With Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson and a great OL? Am I reading that right?

JJ McTebow

All he needs is a Bears turnover and a 17-16 win and they'll call him a winner

 

[Pape]

His shoulder is a big issue. Hes mostly doing check downs since the last big hit

Back ups are jake browning and sean clifford (who?)

 

[TomPatriot]

Great play by Nelson holding the edge.
