OT: Sunday NFL Open Thread
January 13th, 2019 at 2:31 PM ^
I know it didn’t go well in Denver 8 years ago but how is Josh McDaniels not a HC next year?
edit: forgot about the Colts debacle a year ago.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
Screwing the colts last year did not help his case.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
Probably has a little to do with the way he ghosted Indy after last season.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
Have a day Michel. My gawd Brady and Belichick...pwn this league.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
i really enjoy having Tony Romo do the color commentary and analysis. really get a great explanation of everything going on from a good QB's perspective.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
I agree with this. He's a bit of a tool but his explanations and understanding of the game are very good. He certainly provides an interesting perspective.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
Agreed. He just loves watching it all unfold, and I appreciate that. All announcers are hated now days and I just don't get it. Some are rotten but man some people hate just to hate. Romo does a good job imo.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
Chargers are a 2nd half team. This one could go down to the wire.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
/s. ?
January 13th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
I thought that the Chargers would carve up NE's defense. Boy was I wrong.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
Looking ahead to next week, it should be a very interesting AFC champ game. Despite the Patriots' dominance of the AFC, they haven't won a road game to go to the Super Bowl since 05. In that time they've fallen to Peyton Manning teams in Indy and Denver. Is the KC home field advantage enough to mess with NE? Can Mahomes hold up to the pressure as essentially a rookie?
January 13th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
I think it could go either way. The line should be tight. I would not bet next weeks game, too hard to predict. Today’s game was an easy pick, but yes next week will be interesting.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
It looks like an easy pick now but the Chargers were a sexy upset pick, I heard people talking about it all week. Undefeated on the road all season, better record than the Pats, etc. I agree though that next week should be tight.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
Omg they're gonna go score again
January 13th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
Oops, no, they're not.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
Man, a minute to go i thought it was a sure thing to get Gostkowski a kick
January 13th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
I thought so, too. Another thing that didn't go the Patriots' way.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
If they call that tackle in bounds, they probably should have measured for a first down. That would have made it interesting (and Rivers' head would have exploded)
January 13th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
I love TB12, but if K.C. knocks them out I would love to see Brees get a 2nd ring. I would move him past Peyton if he gets that 2nd Super Bowl.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
Ps did anyone else hear the stadium song played a moment ago? Complete troll job by the PA/music guy...he was playing "Cheap Trick - Surrender"
January 13th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
I wasn't paying attention, but that's hilarious.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
This is simply more evidence beyond the voluminous mountain already existing that Brady is the GOAT and Belichick is indeed a Sith Lord.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
Welp...just got home and turned on the Chargers / Pats ....what in the hell am I looking at. BB is the greatest coach of all time with the greatest QB of all time. #Can'tBeStopped Insane score wow
January 13th, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
I wonder if Queen's Don't Stop Me Now is on the stadium's playlist.
January 13th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
I had already made peace with the fact that the NE Bradys were done and that a new world order was in store. Guess not (so fast).
January 13th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
Get it Tom! ?
January 13th, 2019 at 2:59 PM ^
Rivers is not a happy camper. And Pats D gets a stop to open the half.
January 13th, 2019 at 3:02 PM ^
Mom! He targeted me!
January 13th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Go for it!
January 13th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Hee hee. 1st down!
January 13th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
damn. but they ate up a bunch of clock on the series.
January 13th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
Aw, darn, they had to kick a FG.
January 13th, 2019 at 3:09 PM ^
Brady and Pats are doing well and I'm wearing my Michigan gear. Would that it had worked a few weeks ago.
January 13th, 2019 at 3:17 PM ^
Looks like a fumble, but not necessarily a Pats recovery, so not a good challenge.
January 13th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
Stay in bounds, man!
January 13th, 2019 at 3:43 PM ^
Sooo, how bout that basketball game we still have to wait 4 hours for?!
January 13th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
think that is a complete pass down at the 1 foot/6 inch line. elbow hit the ground prior to ball coming out.
January 13th, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
The Eagles are playing basketball on grass.
January 13th, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
saints are not looking in sync
January 13th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
I am so proud of Brandon Graham....one of the best lineman we've ever had and represents Michigan so well.
January 13th, 2019 at 5:27 PM ^
Saints really needed that pick. Let's see if they can turn it into points.
January 13th, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
LOL, Ginn: where's the ball?
January 13th, 2019 at 5:43 PM ^
Wow, fake punt to keep drive alive, going on 4th and goal, and they got the TD.
January 13th, 2019 at 6:02 PM ^
If you're Philly, do you keep Foles and shop Wentz? He just continues to function like an All-Pro in the playoffs. And he's only 3 years older than Wentz.
January 13th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
good question but where would you shop Wentz?
The Broncos need a QB. Keenum is not going to be their franchise QB moving forward.
can't shop in your own conference to the Giants or Redskins and the Cowboys look like they are all in on Prescott.
Vikings? i never trust a sparty QB. cousins is over rated.
Maybe Tampa Bay since i think winston and fitzpatrick are on their way out.
Maybe Arizona if the new coach wants to move on from Rosen.
Raiders? some don't believe gruden when he says Carr is staying.
Jags? Dolphins? Bengals?
January 13th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
If Foles wins them another Super Bowl, I don’t know how you can justify holding onto Wentz. He’s a great QB, but when he’s healthy. And that hasn’t been often over the last year.
I know they’ve said they’re committed to Wentz, but your job as an organization is to win championships. And if Foles manages to win them two in a row, they’d be foolish to get rid of him. Maybe Wentz has a higher ceiling, but you’ve got a guy winning championships right now. And he doesn’t have health concerns. And it’s not like he’s much older than Wentz. Foles still has a long career ahead of him.
But whatever they decide to do, they should do it this offseason. I think Foles still has a year left on his deal after this year, and the Eagles could shop him around for a king’s ransom.
January 13th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
Oh, man! Hill throws a TD pass that's called back by holding!
January 13th, 2019 at 6:52 PM ^
Saints finally get a 2nd TD and take the lead!
