Week 11 Around the NFL Game Thread

[NFLfan]

What are you watching?

 

I'm watching Packers @ Vikings. 9-3 Vikes after a missed extra point. 

 

Jets and Dolphins are also showing but I won't be watching that. 

[NFLfan]

Vikings up 16-3. The Vikes  defense is playing very well.  (Knock on wood) You were on to something @chad72.

 

The offense is playing well too. And the officials are finally calling holding against GB offensive linemen.

 

The broadcasters shared that the Vikings have led by 7 or more in every game but we are only 3-6.   Hopefully we win this game.

I missed the first two drives. I think the Vikes get the ball back to start the 3rd. 

 

Flacco's starting for the Jets??!!

[NFLfan]

Vikes kicker missed an extra point earlier. That may be a difference in this game. The Vikes are up 23-17 but the Packers are driving.

 

Still lots of time left (over 8 min left). 

[NFLfan]

 Green Bay is up now. 24-23.

 

Cousins is a good deep thrower but not a good game manager; he does not use up a lot of time off the clock. We need him to manage the game now. Use up the clock and score a TD or FG for the win.

[NFLfan]

Lol. I know Cousins and my team. The game is tied at 31. We have the ball with a little over 2 min left. GB just committed a penalty. It is First and 5. Why are we throwing a deep ball? All we need a FG to win.

 

Cousins throws what appears to be an INT. But it is reviewed and called incomplete. Thank goodness. Guys, there is no need to rush. Milk the clock and get a FG.

[NFLfan]

Why are they throwing?? Run the ball. Don't leave time for Aaron to come back.

 

Ok. Cook ran. Run the ball some more.

 

Okay. They are taking two knees. The kicker will try a FG. Definitely not guaranteed. 2 seconds left. This is the game.

Anyone we should be rooting for this afternoon? Was hoping Detroit would help but we know how that story always goes... Lol

We need cowboys to beat KC. The other games don’t matter because teams play each other so it is guaranteed to help.

Great win. Anytime you can beat #12, that is huge.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I missed it, did the Ravens win  , they are lucky so I wouldn't doubt it.

[IinD]

Oh man.. In starting to feel some playoff vibes from us...

We're taking care of business lately... Let's go...

figures. They are going to win their division anyway so it really doesn't hurt us. We need the the Steelers, Browns, and Bengals to lose.

Did the Titans lose? Colts should try to win the division. I think they have a good chance. 

 

Ya Gotta Believe!

 

Signing out now. Enjoy the late afternoon games.

I’m shocked they won without Lamar and Brown. Half the starting line up is out with injuries. I’ll take it. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I was thinking we probably need Steelers to lose tonight to give them that 4th loss.

Yes Texans beat them. Titans lost brown in the game. Don’t know if he came back in.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Texans beat the Titans  . Tannehill 4 INT's.

Well I mean you guys were facing a Matt Nagy coached team, so that makes up for you guys missing players

Yes Texans beat them. Titans lost brown in the game. Don’t know if he came back in.

I would rather the Steelers win. The steelers do not look good overall, and I expect they will start losing a lot more. I would rather the Charges get the extra loss today

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wrong thread.

[MB-ColtsFan]

That taunting call on Edwards-Hellaire...why is it after the play when he taunted before he crossed the goal line?

It's a silly call to begin with, but it was not a dead ball call and the Chiefs should get a 15 harder and the TD wiped out.

Bengals got a good win against the Raiders today. 

[NFLfan]

I like Herbert. In college and in pre-draft talk, he was compared to Andrew Luck. He excelled academically. Some were concerned that because he has many interests outside of football like Luck did, he may not commit to a long career in the NFL. We won't know until years later. I like what I see.

[NFLfan]

Whatever happened to OL Forrest Lamp? He was drafted by the Chargers. Many fans wanted their respective teams to draft him. I know he was injured his first season but I did not hear anything about him since.

 

In that same draft, the Chargers also drafted Dan Finney who was also highly thought of. He is with the Jets now, I believe.

The chiefs moving Jones back inside and less Sorensen has their defense competing at a high level

They also have been fortunate. No Rodgers in GB, No Cooper and Lamb against the Cowboys.

It was already 3-16 when Lamb went out. Even with Lamb the Cowboys were struggling

True. Mahomes is happy to be a game manager like Alex Smith for now, plus the Chiefs OL is a better run blocking unit than pass blocking unit.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I fell asleep and missed the end of that Chargers and Steelers game. What a finish that was. I thought it was over so I went to sleep.

Dumb corner got greedy and blitzed instead of staying with his guy lol.

[2006Coltsbestever]

- I am just glad the Colts won, now we are in 1st place. End of interview  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I can’t wait to watch the Bills and Saints on Thanksgiving day. Saints have a good defense. Maybe they will get Kamara back. Not sure Saints can win with Simeon but I am really rooting for the Saints.

 

Just saw something about Vita Vea maybe bring out a few weeks for the bucks. That helps Colts running game.

If you get him beat up without investment in OL, yes I can see that, which is what we did with Luck in the Grigson era. The Chargers seemed to have invested enough in the OL now and Slater is coming along real well at left tackle for them.
