Thanksgiving Open Game Discussion

“Coqboys”
I LOL’ed.

Saints will win by 4 TD’s.

Re: Colt McCoy, I was at the 2014 game where he relieved a benched Kirk Cousins at halftime to lead the “squirrels” to a comeback win over the Titans. This morning I had to look up who Tennessee’s QB was—Charlie Whitehurst.

Coqboys?

I didn’t know Seattle was playing.

"Saints-infinity"

LOL

Did we switch to baseball-cricket rules where you get to keep scoring until the defence makes an out?

Not infinity—if only because the game only lasts sixty minutes. I could see Brees going for 8 TD passes though, to set a new single game record, as well as go ahead of Mahomes and help lock in MVP—unless he waits to do that against TB and avenge their only loss.

I should explain the Lions Bears score: The Lions score a TD but doink the EP. There are 7 field goals attempted. All hit the uprights with two bank-shot through. The league launches an investigation of the goal posts in Detroit.

The networks run highlights of the game with Yakety Sacs accompaniment.

One thing you can say about Zenner, he will at least give you what's blocked. Blount often takes a successfully blocked running play and make it fail due to lack of speed and/or dancing around.

Or it's evidence that Darius Slay, who missed the first game against the Bears, is very valuable to the Lions defense (as Romo already pointed out). All the CB's on the roster besides him are sub-replacement level.

I actually dont' think Daniel has played all that badly (he should have had his second career touchdown pass, but the receiver dropped it). Trubisky's running is probably being missed, though.

Or in the second quarter

If I remember correctly, they went for two multiple times against the Vikings. Maybe Nagy acquired a taste for it, and decided that's what he's going to do from now on.

They go for two routinely I think

He’s spoken about how he generally wants to go for 2, although it didn’t really start until Parkey had the awful game.

I think there is something to the idea that in general, if you’re going to go for 2 then you need to do it a lot to reap the benefits and balance out the times where it doesn’t work. The only thing is that I question if the chance of getting the conversion is high enough with Daniel as QB to make it smart to try in the first place.

It's their 1950's throwback uniforms. I will say they are much better than their all-grey color rush abominations.

I loved them.

My guess is being up 4 is not a big difference than being up 5. And if they get it, then a 6 point lead is a lot different than a 5 point lead.

And the next Bears touchdown shows why it was a bad decision. Now a FG can only tie at best.

I was just about to type that, but you beat me to it.

Apparently all I need to do is complain it into existence. Really timely pick-six by Jackson who looks like an all-pro this season.
