Cancer Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 * Cancer changes channel to the pre-game show that isn't trying to hype the Road Apple of the Week game, Patriots- Jets * If ever there was one, that's a DGAF matchup in week 17, and I'll watch Mexican soccer before I punch that one up.

Cancer Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I agree, but I watch *everything* muted -- TV gridiron commentators are very often morons, and also very often so grossly partisan that listening destroys any entertainment I get from watching. So the lack of an English commentary is actually a plus. And I was being intentionally ironic: Liga MX is between seasons at the moment.

unclevlad Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm stuck with Jags/Texans or Cowboys/Giants...bleah and bleah. Almost meaningless. The talking heads were raving about ooooh, wow, things are SO unsettled and there's sooo many possibilities!!! GAG!!! It would mean more if the key position-related games were actually gonna be competitive on paper. Oh...well. I'd not really looked at the schedule. There ARE no interesting games in the early slot. Dolphins-Bills Lions-Packers Jets-Pats Panthers-Saints (and Brees is sitting) Cowboys-Giants Falcons-Bucs Jags-Texans They have many more games in the late slot than normal...partly because this is double-double week, with 2 games each for Fox and CBS, I suspect.

Pariah Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 The Daily Mail is a reliable news source, isn't it? Tottenham may share White Hart Lane with the Oakland Raiders NFL team during the 2019 season That would be pretty outstanding, actually.

Old Man Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I dunno, I'd hate to saddle the British with the Raiders for an entire season. Then again, Derps fans are the most soccer-hooliganish people in the NFL, so maybe it's a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Arguaable if the Mail is a reasonable source, but take it at face value for now. My response: I hope not! Logistical HELL for the the players...what are they gonna do, fly to every "home game"? Or maintain separate living space in England for the season?? Team facilities are generally quite extensive...are they gonna build them up for just a year? I suppose NFL Network might be happy because hey, they'd probably be the only ones interested in showing those games, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Well, gee...I hate to say this but Boys-Giants looks like a fun back-and-forth game. Most of these early games have been awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I know they're already locked into the number four seed in the NFC, so this game doesn't really mean anything, but anytime you see the Cowboys lose it's a pretty good day.

Pariah Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 And to add insult to injury, the local affiliate is carrying the Chiefs and Raiders today instead of the Broncos and Chargers. So I don't even get to watch the Broncos' horrible season come to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboy receiver made a great grab and did get one knee down. What I noted was poor play by the Giants after the kickoff. Either poor playcalling...like the rollout cutting down options...or poor decision making by Eli. He tried to fit it into a couple spots where there was nothing there. I'm suprised, a bit, that I'm getting Ravens-Browns, rather than Denver. I guess Houston was the regional game choice, and Ravens-Browns is the national choice. Nantz and Romo are on the call, which supports this is CBS' #1 game this week. (Other game is Vikes-Skins...important enough but IMO they both deserve to lose.)

Cancer Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Seattle win on a FG as time expires, despite a game of horrible offensive line play. Cleveland turn it over with a minute left, preserving the Ravens' victory, and all but keeping the Steelers from backing into the playoffs: they need a tie in the Colts-Titans game to squeak in now.

My dad and me watched the Jags-Texans. Mainly, because my dad is such a level of Cowboy hater he couldn't bear to watch them win (ironically we watched the last 2 minutes, which was probably why the Cowboys won). Anyway, Jags-Texans game, we were wondering: when ahead 20-3 in the 4th quarter when your opponent cant get 2 first downs in a possession. Why the hell was Watson still in the game, let alone running with the ball? Did they want to risk him getting hurt for nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
