NFL GDT: Week 8

[Halladay]

Got to go for it. Or not.

Reid just punted their chance at a W.

Green Bay is the most lucky, least impressive 7-1 team EVER.

LaFleur has caught every break humanly possible this season

Welcome to the NFL.

Welcome to the NFL.

Next year, when things aren’t going right, Packer fans will be calling for his scalp ala Bears fans/Nagy

 

[Halladay]

Game is over.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Game, set, match.

 

[c9777666]

Green Bay is basically getting every break humanly possible this season.

refs/Lions, West Coast team flies East for an early start, No Mahomes, and they next get a de-facto home game against the Chargers?

seriously, this is ridiculous

 

[Halladay]

rofl, penalty?

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

West Coast team flies East for an early start

You know teams don't fly in the day before and that this isn't all that uncommon, right?

and they next get a de-facto home game against the Chargers?

How is this luck? It's literally the schedule that rotates every eight years. Teams have no control over this.

their schedule isn't easy though at least unlike the Patriots...funny enough the Chiefs with Moore is most likely a much tougher matchup than anyone the Pats have played.

Right. You want luck, look at a team that plays in a division with 3 incompetent trash teams in their division for 15 years.

lol @ andy reid

punts it away with 4 minutes left and KC never got the ball back

Has Andy Reid not been a career long lightning bolt criticism wise for his use of the clock and timeouts?

Yet somehow they have a worse winning percentage against their division than against the rest of the league. Some of you really need to get over New England. And I have no idea why anyone gets baited by ChrisK anymore. All he does is whine about every single thing, on every single board.

Facts and logic need not apply here. They also seem to discount what having an absolute juggernaut of a team in your division for 20 years would do to the other teams. The Jets have put together the best competition in the division over the years, with their early teams that still had the Tuna's hallmarks left over, and then Ryan's Jets were very strong for a few seasons. Miami put together a few decent squads, and the Bills look pretty strong (or at least on the upswing) right now.

But these teams have to go into every season knowing they are fighting for a wild card at best because of the Pats. That has got to make it an even tougher up hill climb than every other team has when trying to rebuild/put together a contender. We also routinely see the dumbassery that other teams pull trying to beat the Pats, from stupid play calls, to out-thinking themselves, to straight garbage decisions. 3 or 4 games (at least) a year we see a non-division opponent completely dribble down their legs at Foxboro. Those teams have to deal with that mystique at an organizational level.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Imagine if Rodgers had the weapons that KC have.

Kelce + Hill to add to Adams and Jones would be insane.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

when did Aaron Jones become so good.......before this year you think maybe he's a pretty solid back but now he's just putting up big numbers often.

Jones has flashed this potential since his rookie year and was one of the best pass-catching backs coming out of his draft, McCarthy was just a pumpkin unfortunately.

If McCarthy is a pumpkin Andy Reid is a taco stand.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

If McCarthy is a pumpkin Andy Reid is a taco stand.

Seems about right.

Andy Reid serves good tacos, but has a problem with time management so you might be waiting a while.

Exactly this. Thank you, was just about to say essentially the same thing

Do you ever give anyone credit? Or is it always the refs, schedule, or someone elses fault.

We are all aware he is a troll. Its entertaining though punching holes in all posts and outing him.

lol @ andy reid

punts it away with 4 minutes left and KC never got the ball back

4th and 3 from across their own 40 with over 4 minutes to go. Makable distance. Not 4th and 13 or something. Now, they could have made it and scored, but if GB has 1 minute left and Rodgers, could still lose the game, but at least you gave yourself a shot to at least tie the game.

Now, they were down 7, so if they don't get it, and GB moves into FG range, afterwards, and makes it, game is over down 2 scores with under 3 minutes to go.

Have to decide if you believe in your defence enough to stop the opposition from getting a 1st down. GB has 1st and 10 from their 2. KC couldn't stop them.
