Colts @ Chiefs

mctoasterson@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 258d (1 reply)

Yeah this is painful. We aren't getting pressure, special teams are meh, and the offense botched the "double dip" opportunity on both sides of the half, settling for a field goal and then punting away.

I think we are about cooked for the season if we can't find a way to steal this game.

Boy, Indiana Jones & the Colts look like the real deal. I thought they would fall off after a strong early start, but they just keep on keeping on, and they're boat racing the Chiefs right now!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 258d

Yeah this is the first time I'm watching them. They do look calm and confident and impressive. Daniel Jones isn't the same guy from NY. Colts' GM has had a very longgggggggg leash, surviving through some QB debacles. Seems his 2nd hand QB approach has finally worked lol.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 258d

Good defense by Colts on that last drive.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 258d

Chiefs saved their season in OT. Colts are for real and tough.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

This game ain't over. Chiefs have held Colts to 1 TD (other one was goal-line turnover). Chiefs may yet pull this off in 2nd half. They can't go 5-6 and expect to be in playoffs.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

Wow. Chiefs have been driving and driving. but now they have to kick another field goal! Chiefs have TWICE as many plays as Colts but are down.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

My god this game is going soooooo fast. an hour gone and it's almost half time!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

Best match up for Sunday? Colts will have to show they are for real. Chiefs are fighting for playoff survival.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

Early turn over from Chiefs and TD for Colts!

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 258d

@RandAlThor Thanks again for doing these posts!

Jags @ Cards

Continuing a running theme, we’ve already had good Trevor and bad Trevor for the Jaguars this game, and it’s still the first quarter.

wjrii@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 258d (1 reply)

Free football in Arizona. Coen overthought himself and turned down a FG to potentially go up 6 with 98 seconds left.

wjrii@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 258d

Jags fall ass-backwards into a win. They aren’t great, but maybe they’re good?

Steelers @ Bears

Ethel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 258d

I see bad things for Steelers.

Jets@Ravens

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d

Fumble-iya!!!

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d

Sacked! Finally!

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d (5 replies)

Go Ravens!

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d (4 replies)

Aaaand nothing.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d (3 replies)

lol what happened? no points on 1st drive?

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d (2 replies)

No points on every drive. They suck today. Lamar hung over or something.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d (1 reply)

Yeah its surprising. I penciled in a win for Ravens.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 258d

I think everybody did!

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d

Lamar getting $250,000 per drive. Don't seem right.

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d

Sacked!

Ethel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 258d

No HAndrew's so damn inconsistent

Ethel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 258d

Ok, get the ball back, one more TD, put in Snoop, and call it a day.

Buccs @ Rams

8:20pm ET

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 258d (1 reply)

This game is actually at 8:20 tonight, not 4:00

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

Yessir!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 258d (1 reply)

Wow I didn't think Rams would be THIS dominant. I should've watched this game.

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d

Didn't watch either since it was played in the middle of the actual night over here.
Baker was hurt and Teddy Bridgewater started the second half for the Buccs (didn't know he was still in the league). But still, what a shellacking.

Every now and then Collinsworth reminds me why I hate him

Pats@Bengals

Ethel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 258d

Wtf? Pats losing to the Bungles?

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d

It's halftime and the Pats are up 17 - 13. Not exactly the dominant performance I'd expect from the supposedly returned evil empire against the Burrowless Bungles.

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d (3 replies)

So, the supposed return of the evil empire seems to have been postponed at least for the first quarter so far.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d (2 replies)

And no Burrows!

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d (1 reply)

Well, the corpse of Joe Flacco was only good for a field goal so far.

But after a pick 6 the evil empire caught up with an TD of their own. Let's see if they can keep it up.

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d

Well, the corpse of Joe Flacco was also good for a pick 6.

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d

Pats escape the Bungles 26 - 20.
And not because they played convincingly, the Bungles didn't manage an offensive touchdown until the second half of the 4th quarter.

Mim@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 258d

The Pats had 8 plays starting right in front of the endzone and couldn't manage to punch the ball in. What the fuck is that?!?

Giants@Lions

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 1 pts · 258d

I'm beginning to get seriously concerned about the Lions. They were my dark horse to win the Super Bowl, but they're 6-4 and losing right now to the lowly Giants with Jameis Winston at the helm.

Browns @ Raiders

4:00pm ET

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 258d

While I'm frequently reminding you how teams SHOULD look, the Browns should put those white helmets in the trash and never wear them again.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 258d (3 replies)

Falcons @ Saints

4:00pm ET

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 258d

I swear it's confusing actually having a competent, dare I say reliable kicker.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 258d

A pick 6 bouncing off of Pitts hands and into the defender. Right now the Falcons are still out-sorrying the Saints, but it's closer.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 258d

What a toilet bowl of a game. Both these teams trying to out-sorry the other.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 258d (3 replies)

Eagles @ Cowboys

4:00pm ET

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 258d

Your weekly reminder that this is how the the Eagles should look for the rest of time.

wjrii@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 258d

Dirty NFL secret? Dak is very easy to root for.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 258d

Wow. Eagles dropped one.
