Game Thread: WEEK 9!!!!!!!!!

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

My opinion? The steelers need to lose one at some point to get the monkey off their back.

They have always been bad as the favorite... Rarely live up to expectations.

Being the underdog is so much better for them.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Steelers got away with at least 3 on Gilbert. But that was a call that usually gets called

Steelers got a lot of favorable calls in this game. The minkah INT was a clear hold by Haden outside that didn’t get called. Then the roughing penalty. Those 2 calls on back to back drives were huge momentum swings.

I didn't see that since I was with family and the last 5 minutes of this game was the only football I've seen all day.

The "roughing the passer" by rule was a "good call" but my god its such a BS penalty

 

[Dude]

Two AFCE teams beat up on teams from the propped up NFCW. Perhaps the NFC as a whole is overrated this year ?

Yeah, technically it was the correct call, but man I fucking hate that call.

Oh, thanks for clarifying.

Me too. "Oh look, I touched a QB".... Especially when the defender is having his arms up to defend a pass and gets pushed into the QB.. exactly what happened and it gets called

Only the NFCE.

Who the hell overrates the NFCE?

I wasn't a fan of the rule until 20 minutes ago......

I think if the Fins played like they did today they would have taken out the Hawks and bills as those games were close. Flo is doing a great job with what he has.

 

[Pure Steel]

Well, it turned out to be moot, but for a number of reasons I felt it was dumb for them to not try the FG.

If they have no intention of going for the FG, then be aggressive in the play calling.....NOT another horrible run call with all the weapons they have to get one yard......I've seen this movie for many years......It's sickening.....

You're right. If they felt they had to go for it, there were a number of more creative options.

Yep. Phins playing good football

That was another dramatic finish today, yet perhaps the most dramatic conclusion of them all was end of the Raiders-Chargers game.

Ever since their owners have gone to massage parlors this year, they are loose and relaxed

Got to learn from the boss-man. Nothing like 70-year hag, messing with yer eggs.

I'll tell you one thing that zona offense is the real deal. Murray is a player. I don't normally wear depends but today was close to needing them!

 

[Yo Tee]

Gotta love that 8-0 feeling. Ugly win but it's a W.
