I think the walking guy's gonna claim it. The BRONCOS go 80 yards in 2 minutes for a go-ahead TD? Yeah. There's shameful, and there's that........ I think I said, Hackett might well be gone if he lost today. BUT, if there's any substance to that, well, the plank he's on is getting sawn through as we speak in any case. Eagles look scary good. Score suggests the Raiders look scary bad. Detroit gets the early Turkey Day game...well, it'll be entertaining. 31-27 Fins, very early 4th. ONE punt so far. One TO. 10 scores. Jets gonna Jet. Thrown 3 picks in, for them, what I like to call a contender-pretender game...which they're losing, which suggests pretender. Panthers have tied the Falcons...go Panthers! If they can sneak this one out...the Saints are beating the Raiders comfortably...every team in the NFC South will be 3-5. There really should be a rule that a division winner doesn't automatically get a playoff berth, if they're below .500........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I actually don’t get to watch the Raiders now that Mariota is a Falcon. But the entire team was down all week with a “bad flu” so the cratering is not exactly a surprise. Falcons-Panthers has actually been a good game, not that it really matters.

unclevlad Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Just switched to it. 2 HUGE!!! mistakes on one play. Inside 20 seconds, up 6...and the Falcons give up a 62 yard TD? Massive mistake somewhere...shades of, what was it, Broncos-Ravens, IIRC. Then, the receiver, after the TD, takes off his helmet on the field of play. Illegal. Celebration foul, 15 yards on the extra point. Makes it a 45 yard attempt. It drifts left...not clear it would've been good from 30, but it's also a different kick from 30. So it's a tie game, and goes into OT. Shows me why these teams are 5-9 combined. OT gets booted by the afternoon slot. I'll root for the tie, but won't hold my breath.

Old Man Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 OT went egregious pick, egregious missed short FG, long Mariota run on third and forever, FG. Falcons win. Greatly entertaining, though not hypercompetent, game of the football. I feel bad for Pineiro, not sure he'll still have a job tomorrow.

Cancer Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 The only time we had a doghouse was when I was 5, and we lived in an area that was infested with black widow spiders. We had no dog. The spiders owned the doghouse. I only looked in it once, and I got out as fast as I could when I spotted four in my first glance. Can you say, childhood terror memory? Oh, and my preseason prediction for Seahawks wins has been blown all to hell. Not that I was heavily invested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Yeah I did time in the Mojave and that place is black widow central. They'd infest every corner of the picket fence overnight--like we'd go around and murder them all with a stick and there'd be new spiders all over the fence the next morning. A doghouse would have attracted enough that they'd have probably melded together into one mastiff-sized black widow that carried the doghouse around on its back like a hermit crab. And yes, we're all very disappointed that your prediction for the Seahawks' season was erroneous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Kind of a sloppy 4th quarter, but I think the Bills relaxed quite a bit. They never felt threatened deep, so the Packers were never gonna get quick scores. A little diversion...pick the first team to clinch a playoff berth. Eagles are 4 up in the loss column to clinch a WC berth; Vikings are 4 up in the loss column for their division. I'll take Philly; the Vikes have Washington, Bills, Cowboys, Pats, and Jets for their next 5. Vikes beat Miami...but the other 5 wins? Pack, Bears, Cards, Lions, and Saints, all under .500.

Fans Crushed The League For Having Broncos-Jaguars Game Only On ESPN Plus Sorry, but in this case the fans are just lazy. If your cable provider has ESPN you can get ESPN+ for free. You just have to log in with a password on the app. You do have to pay to get it on your phone or computer as as a stand alone without cable.

They are just advertising the service which has lots of extra content not on cable ESPN. On my computer? It's requiring a password and a $10/month subscription...not my cable login. For 1 game, even 1 month is foolish. And this is atop TNF and Amazon Prime. People want it included in packages they've already paid for...their TV service. They don't view it as advertising, they view it has holding the fans hostage to make them pay for it. So where does this end, from their perspective? The league is finding out that their greed is creating resentment. NOTE: I also tried to go through Xfinity to see if I could get ESPN+ set up. AWKWARD!!!! Verify sign-in? HATE that...understand why, but hate it. Xfinity's main page is confused. Yeah, it's annoying, if I was just trying to watch a game I want to watch. And I've definitely felt annoyed when I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to stream a game. Trying to stream through a smart TV is also CLUMSY. And don't even THINK about mentioning watching it on the app. That's an absolute, total, complete non-starter for football. On my iPad? NO. FAR too small. Not happening EVER.

Grailknight Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I went through Xfinity and the hardest part was figuring out the Xfinity password. Once I passed that step it came right on.

unclevlad Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not working that way for me. Do you have an ESPN+ subscription? Yes, then streaming through Xfinity is free...but that's not the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I have higher than the basic sports package, so that may include ESPN+, not paying for it separately though. Ah, I am signed up for Insider so that may be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Between those 2, yeah, quite possible. I only went with the digital aspect, but didn't spring for anything more. Cable bill's crazy high as it is. So...Browns-Bengals or Astros-Phillies tonight? Considering that MNF may be over before halftime, that'll probably be relegated to getting streamed. OOPS!!! Take that back. Rain in Philly. Talks are ongoing about full postponement..which you know they HATE to do in the postseason...but rain's forecast through the evening, apparently. Yeah, this doesn't look good -- forecast from CBS News Philadelphia: Well, the good news is, the Bengals have a very appropriate color scheme for Halloween!

Old Man Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’m going to have to check and see if the Browns D got people back from injury or something. They’re everywhere, tipping every pass and living in the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Ja'Marr Chase is out for Burrow. That's something he's got to get past; the Bengal offense shouldn't slip as much as they have. Another factor...granted, their running game has been poor, but they've only tried to run 9 times...while dropping back 32. (This is just after they got the TD. Bengals have the ball and are burning clock...until just now when they get a bomb to Cooper for ANOTHER 1st and goal. GAME OVER. EDIT: Yep. Chubb blasts through again for another TD, and even Troy says "pretty much good night." 32-6 inside 9 minutes? Oh yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
