NFL 2014 Week 11 - Teal the Heat

Ugh Miami

So, how the fuck did the Steelers lose last weekend? I couldn't watch and have pretty much refused to read about the game or watch highlights.

Courtyard by Marriott - which is the Official Hotel/Travel Partner/Fuck Buddy/GiveUsMoneyOrElse of the NFL - does not carry the NFL Network. At least the one in Colonie, NY doesn't.

(Irony?)

ETA: Never mind, they do. But it's a "secret" channel (i.e., it's on the TV but not listed on the channel card).

In Buffalo, week eleven is usually when the anticipation that turned into anxiety becomes full fledged anger. Next comes apathy...

I'll start the "Jay Cutler" to the Bills rumours now.

-4 turnover ratio, couple bad bounces, some questionable officiating, Jets hit a bomb and ran the ball well early, Ben and receivers weren't reading each other as well as prior weeks, questionable play calling in the red zone, deer in headlights Tomlin...your typical Steelers loss really.

What happened? Buffalo controlled that game for 2.5 quarters and then the defense couldn't do anything.

Whoa, hold on there a sec. I think your definition of "controlled" is much different than mine. Yards, etc. were pretty much even, the Bills had an extra field goal and then Miami finally figured out the Buffalo defense a little and then Buffalo couldn't do anything on offense. It was basically just two really good defensive teams and a team whose offense is demonstrably better (Miami) finally getting a bit of traction.

1) Think they wore down. The offense was horrendous.

2) Outcoached.

3) Orton is garbage.

As there's a pretty gruesome injury on the play - one that the the buffoons in the booth missed (man, Simms is brutal) - I didn't look for it to post. But there's a run where Lamar Miller makes a cut and Leodis McKelvin literally breaks his ankle trying to follow the deke. Nicely sums up the Bills last night.

They had 2 extra field goals and they had disrupted Tannehill all night. Also +2 in turnovers.

I had a dream that Rex Ryan karate kicked his offensive coordinator in the leg at the end of a game, on camera, and I just realized that it was a dream.

It was a dream, right?

It may have been your dream, but it's Rex Ryan's fantasy.

In other news, JJ Watt has a touchdown catch and two roughing the kicker penalties so far.

So with their injuries is the NFL going to allow the Broncos to pick replacement players from other teams or are they just going to be allowed to start the game up 4 TDs?

The bengals are weird and I don't know what to expect from them week to week. Unless it is a prime time game, then they suck.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 6:50 pm

Lions just got jobbed. The guy didn't down the ball at the one, he threw it back because he would have lost his balance.

And Ronde Barber is turning into one of the worst analysts on tv.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 6:55 pm

Yeah, I don't get that one. By the ref's logic, does that mean if he stepped in the endzone after "establishing possession," then it wouldn't be a touchback?

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 6:59 pm

yeah that's what they're saying and that's totally wrong.

I don't think that play can be a downed ball until a whistle blows. If there is no whistle the play must be allowed to continue.

Also everything looks slower in slo-mo replay (obviously). In real time that guy barely had the ball.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 7:18 pm

It's ridiculous that a team can't challenge a terrible spot because they're out of timeouts. If they lose the challenge just give them a 15 yard penalty.

Your tenuous grip on reality gets more loose, in concert with your weird obsession with the Broncos.

Many Patriots fans have a bizarre and unhealthy obsession with Peyton Manning. Somehow they viewed Seattle's Superbowl win as vindication, even though Denver had dominated the Patriots just two weeks earlier.

Because I have to hear the Bronco fans award their team the Lombardi before the season starts. Supposedly they had improved their team so that they'd go 20-0 in the regular season (just because.) Now due to Peyton throwing his patented get his WRs hammered throws we'll see how he does with out his all-world WR corps.

As for my first comment anytime Peyton's teams haven't won in a year that it was anointed that they win, rules concerning contact with receivers are changed so he can have them run their little screens and rubs unimpeded.

How is enjoying the defeat of your team's main rival over the last 15 years, who also happens to be the face of the NFL, bizarre and unhealthy?

While i don't disagree coaches should always keep 1 timeout until after the 2 minute warning. There really isnt a difference between taking timeouts before or after the 2 minute warning while on defence.

I got a great Ronde Barber story from this weekend. But it has to wait until I get home. Too good and too involved to do on the phone.

Are you guys talking about the punt? It should have been downed at the 2 if the guy didn't actually touch the ground in the EZ before hitting it back in. Is that the jobbing or did he have a foot down in the EZ?

Spent a lovely afternoon with the Toronto Browns Backers - 30 kindred spirits in a cool sports bar, watching the Browns-Texans game on a 20 foot screen.

Good people, and an absolutely horrible game. No need for an in depth analysis, suffice to say that the Browns were lousy in all three facets of the game. That is definitely not a playoff team, and somehow Brian Hoyer got 300 yards without throwing a single good pass.

They lose against Atlanta next week, ESPN's dream will come true as Johnny Football will be starting soon thereafter.

By the way, a number of player shirts represented:

4 - Jim Brown
3 - Johnny Manziell
1- Joe Thomas
1 - Bernie Kosar
1 - Joe Haden
1 - Braylon Edwards
1 - Andre Rison (yours truly)

There is something comforting in watching a team you like lose in the company of 30 people who have also seen it all before. Kind of like being at a really shitty wake.

At Sidelines in Wilton Manors (gay sports bar in my old neighborhood but the rowdiest Dolphins fans around - a really great place to watch games), there was a Browns contingent and about 3 out of 4 wore Colt McCoy jerseys.
