The 2020-2021 NFL thread

I’d bet on it.

I was worried this morning when I read six of the Saints RBs were out due to exposure from practice with Kamara. (Dumb kid.) But dayum! This team was hitting on all cylinders today despite being out most of the star players!

 

[Thomas Veil]

First I should start by confessing I was wrong: the Browns game will not be on Nickelodeon.

My main point is to say congrats to the Bills. I thought that referee call on Pascal’s fumble should have given possession to Buffalo, but I’m glad to see they won in spite of that call.

We did too (he was up and starting to run), but I can also see the Ref thinking, OK, I won't make a call to basically hand over the game, since it's close enough, let's let the game play out.

And ultimately, is was the same result. Bills!

BTW, I thought it was funny that the game had the Buffalo Bills, and since it was on CBS, they were running spots for the new show, Clarice ... with the serial killer, Buffalo Bill ...

 

[Thomas Veil]

Oh, that is kind of creepy.

 

[SuperMatt]

It was the first Bills playoff win in this century. I am over the moon!

 

[DT]

Meant to leave this here earlier ...

What?!?!?

Steelers look like they aged 10 years since the 11-0 start... they are just plain bad.

 

[Thomas Veil]

Lotta unforced errors.

 

[Yoused]

I hope Rothy Benburger hoarded up enough TP to deal with what he did to the bed.

 

[Thomas Veil]

That very first play, with the snap sailing way over Roethlesberger's head into the end zone, wasn't his fault, but my wife and I were cackling with glee. Fourteen seconds in and we fell on the ball for a touchdown. Easiest, craziest seven points I've ever seen.

I'm sorry I missed the Saints game on Nickelodeon, only because I didn't get to see how zany they went with the presentation. I'm only seeing these after the fact, like, er, field goals...

...and Young Sheldon explaining what a penalty is for kids...

​

But for true ridiculousness, I'm gonna have to go with the slime cannons and the light-up end zone.

​

Props to Sean Peyton for agreeing to take that slime bath at the end of the game.

I was seeing footage of some team that won unexpectedly on the BoiseBlue turf, whereupon a barrel of French fries was dumped on the coach. Scratched my head on that one until I figured out the game was the Idaho Potato Bowl.

I know this is off-topic, but we don’t have (or need!) an NCAA thread. All I have to say is:

Go Bucks!!

 

[Thomas Veil]

Hey @Alli, was the regular game available to you, at least on a local channel, or did you have to see it on Nick? Frankly this looks like it'd be cute for the first five minutes and then annoying for the other 175.

Yeah, the Browns went until after 11:30 last night, and now we've got Ohio State tonight.

These late nights are killing me.

 

[Alli]

These late nights are killing me.

The best part about being retired is being able to stay up for the night games!

 

[Thomas Veil]

Well, I'm only semi-retired, so I've still gotta get up in the mornings, LOL.

 

[SuperMatt]

Let’s go Bills!

 

[Thomas Veil]

Coming up on the 4th quarter and the Bills are pulling ahead, 17-3. The Ratbirds are in trouble and they know it.

And Lamar Jackson got a concussion... and just now their backup QB missed a sure touchdown with an overthrow... looking good for the Bills, but I will only relax when the clock hits 0:00!!
