Your Second Round of Somewhat Interesting Games NFL Football Open Thread

Let’s get right back up on that horse, commenters-TO THE GAMES!

Sea/TB-The Good for Tampa? The Bucs have won 2 straight. Seattle has to fly across the country for the third time. Qb Winston has been playing well of late. Tampa is only one game out of first in their division.

The Bad? The Bucs are 1-4 at home. Since 2012 Seattle after Nov. 1st is 31-6. Tampa nickel cb Adjei-Barimah is out and if Grimes plays he’s limping. Rb Rawls is finally back though there is little behind him.

Car/Oak-The Raiders have doubled up the Panthers win-wise 8 to 4. Who saw that at the beginning of the season? The Raiders have scored a minimum of 27 points in their last 4. Whatever the outcome it should be a close one-the Panthers last 4 games (2 wins, 2 losses) have been decided by 3 points each time.

NE/NYJ-I’m hearing different things about Gronk but Brady and wr’s Hogan and Edelman are going to be on the field. LET THE CRUSHENING COMMENCE!

The Maestro

Alex Singleton recovers a ball fumbled by RB Travon Van, and the Stampeders take it back.

Doktor Zymm

I’m not even sure which team I’m rooting for in CAR/OAK, go stuff!

blackroseMD1

Probably should have gone for it on that 4th and 1, eh Ron?

The Maestro

DB Forrest Hightower just made an INSANE one-handed pick of a Bo Levi Mitchell bomb. Craziness. Ottawa has the ball again.

Romonobyl

Carolina loses as only Carolina can.

The Maestro

A little dumpoff pass off a play fake from Burris to fullback Patrick Lavoie, and the XP makes it 17-7 REDBLACKS. This is a very surprising result indeed.

Dunstan

And the Stamps turn it right back over!

Old School Zero

Del Rio: “We’re happy to go for the FG here, which is why we threw it a couple times and stopped the clock.”

King Hippo

A pass? Didn’t expect that. Pretty stupid.

Doktor Zymm

Look at all these multicultural families enjoying Samsung VR! I bet it won’t totally explode while strapped to my face at all! I should buy one!

Shogun Marcus

Or give you eye herpes.

Old School Zero

This shrapnel is SUPER realistic!

...

Well… for some VR simulations, the explosion in the face might be what you’re looking for.

Romonobyl

Applies to certain pornos as well.

Romonobyl

“There’s a big difference between exploding and merely bursting into uncontrolled flames. Ppl forget that.”
/Samsung PR dept.

King Hippo

Panthers costing themselves at least 10-12 seconds by not calling their timeouts pre-2 minute warning.

Romonobyl

The Panthers going for two is like me going nude at a clothing-optional beach.
Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.

The Maestro

Calgary fumbles the ball away on a punt return, and the REDBLACKS recover… Play is being reviewed for a horse collar tackle, though.

The Maestro

No illegal tackle. Ottawa has it.

King Hippo

Good thing you didn’t risk that 4th and a foot, Riverboat Ron. Imagine if the Raiders had good field position.

Col. Duke LaCross

Holy shit Crabtree!

Doktor Zymm

Dammit Jets. Dammit.

ThursdaySkyGoddess
...

Goddamn it Jets. YOU HAD ONE MOTHERFUCKING JOB.

Col. Duke LaCross

Jets gonna Jet.

King Hippo

Verily, it is their Sisyphian lot in life.

Old School Zero

I wish Raiders fans would go to Cosplay conventions and start shit.

Doktor Zymm

Your 2-pt attempt was overturned NE!

Not sure why that Pats two pointer didn’t count, but since it wasn’t deemed a forward pass I don’t even care why.
/Might have Brady on some sort of “fantasy” team

blackroseMD1

Riverboat Ron fell off the boat there.

Doktor Zymm

Is there some sort of organization out there for teams in abusive relationships? The Jets could really use some help.

Redshirt

Uh oh. This week’s check didn’t clear.

King Hippo

Go for it, Ron. Have some balls. 32-32 is not a game to play field position.

herodotus450

It doesn’t seem like Malcolm is there; I tentatively volunteer to take his place.

Shogun Marcus

You probably shouldn’t. She really don’t like him.

The Maestro

Calgary’s lost #1 receiver Marquay McDaniel to a shoulder injury… Will be interesting to see how this affects the Stamps’ game plan moving forward. Mitchell gets sacked, but the play is under review for roughing the passer (which seems insane).

Romonobyl

You watching dirt-hockey?

The Maestro

It’s the Grey Cup! One day a year where CFL trumps the NFL for me.

The Maestro

Challenge is denied. Calgary will punt.

Shogun Marcus

Oakland has no intention to keep the raiders. All the talk is just to make it look better politically. The last thing they want is for shemp to call their bluff and have them pony up.
/florio basically said the same
//I agree with florhnxhsgsghbxhehguewnmbxvs

Doktor Zymm

Ah, and HERE is where it all goes wrong for the Jets.

...

Panthers-Raiders has turned into a fun game.

Romonobyl

Much better than it looked on paper.

Doktor Zymm

I like Martellus Bennett, but I hate the Patriots. Annoying, NFL, annoying.

The Maestro

37-yard field goal from backup kicker Ray Early, and Ottawa retakes the lead, 10-7.

herodotus450

A Canadian scored in a championship game with a distinct kicking motion? Don’t tell Mike Modano.

Romonobyl

BUTTFUMBLE MENTION….WE MUST ALL DRINK!!!!!!

evilbeaver8

The Jets will lose this game:
A) After a turnover leading directly to a N.E. touchdown;
B) After allowing N.E. to drive the length of the field in the last 57 seconds;
C) After an inexplicable blown calls hands N.E. a fresh set of downs with less than 2 minutes left;
D) After Fitzpatrick gets his dick caught in his cleat on 4th and goal from the 1

Old School Zero

D

Redshirt

E) Safety.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I think a combination of A, B and C will happen. I am rooting for D

Shogun Marcus

F) all of the fucking above.

Doktor Zymm

Why pick just one?

Doktor Zymm

A Carolina explosion? Terrorism!

Romonobyl

I wish Dok hadn’t mentioned French onion soup earlier. There’s a deli nearby that makes a delicious, disgusting mess of a bowl but they’re closed already. My doctor told me I’m not getting enough dairy fat, that would have been perfect.

Redshirt

Intentional Grounding. #14 Offense. Because the Patriots said so.

...

So the Panthers just scored a TD putting them up 31-24. They kicked the extra point.

After thinking about this, I wondering if going for 2 would have been smarter since a 9 point lead is a two-possession game where both 7 and 8 points are one possession leads.

Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Redshirt

Kick the extra point. Force them to go for two to tie.

Shogun Marcus

They tried before and failed. Think they’re scared off.

King Hippo

the thought is, if the 2-pointer is less than a 50% play, it’s better to make THEM do it than trying to do it yourself. But you get such a huge benefit that I would be tempted, especially if the offense/defense matchup was favorable

Doktor Zymm

It probably depends on what you think the relative success rate of your team going for two vs the other team’s success rate of going for two.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

WOOT! Charmception! 14-5 is my favorite score of the season.

King Hippo

2nd one ever, per tv peeps. 1984 SF/ATL fixture

ThePirateSloth

Welp
