I wouldn't say he was terrible, but in the first half he was overthrowing his receivers everywhere.

the few drives I watched seemed to be him trying to throw the ball 100mph every time for no reason.

Yeah I agree. He does seem to overcook every throw.

That Keenum sack on the last Broncos drive was glorious

Defense won that ballgame for the Cleveland Browns NOT Baker Mayfield.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50283 on:** December 16, 2018, 01:37:17 pm »

apparently they're 6-0 when they concede less than 20. 0-7-1 when they concede more.

He reminded me of Joe Hart against Wales in the Euros. Seems to make a big deal of being 'psyched up' shouting a lot, and all sorts of bravado, but then it gets to a point where he tips the balance from a decent QB/keeper to a decent QB/keeper who has lost his head and has several mistakes in them. Darnold in the earlier game was much more reserved and level, and appeared to develop into the game while Mayfield didn't seem to.

By a long, long way that was Darnold's best game as a rookie. He's miles off where Mayfield is, albeit with a shitty O-line and no receivers.

If it was my choice and my team I'd want Mayfield of the two to be fair. I just thought he came across a bit hyper

Maybe unfair to say he grew into the game less, clouded by the interceptions

Ray K · « **Reply #50288 on:** December 16, 2018, 06:55:52 pm »

Yeah, the dreadful overthrow interception before HT really looked bad. Favre-esque.

Minnesota just killing the Dolphins right now. Gashing them on the ground.

Thanks for sharing this! Thought at the time it was a nice throw and did a good job on the eyes. Hadn't realised any of those details around the change he made after spotting it. Perhaps he's keeping a level head better than I suggested.

Zimagic · « **Reply #50290 on:** December 16, 2018, 07:02:16 pm »

Christ, Cowboys are stinking up this game!🙁

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50291 on:** December 16, 2018, 07:12:14 pm »

With 202 total offensive yards in the 1st quarter Minnesota becomes the first team in the NFL this season to put up over 200 yards of offense in the 1st quarter of any game. The previous high was 194 yards, posted by the Green Bay Packers against San Francisco in Week 6.

1st game by the new play caller.

ALPH1217 · « **Reply #50292 on:** December 16, 2018, 08:33:37 pm »

I'd like to see them go back to putting the cameras BEHIND the goal posts on these field goal attempts. I know I'm old but the Vikings just kicked a 36 yarder and I never saw the fuckin' ball go through. Nobody in this room did either.

Yeah it's hard getting used to it. Oh look the Patriots are losing, every cloud and all that

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50295 on:** December 16, 2018, 09:37:21 pm »

only having 2 games in the late slot is pretty odd.

7-7 already, started as a shootout

great response from my Pats

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50297 on:** December 16, 2018, 09:44:53 pm »

that was so wide open they could have got vince wilfork back to run it in.

It's not like the Steelers to completely blow coverage vs the Pats. I mean it only happens 4, 5 times a season, tops.

can't believe we shut out the cowboys, what an effort. Darius Leonard is a monster.

Seriously whats happened to Boswell this season

although that was a nice one

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50305 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:08:54 am »

to be fair he's fucking nailed that one.

Ray K · « **Reply #50306 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:20:42 am »

This is a really ugly game by the Pats, but Pittsburgh kinda stumbled over the line there. Brady's final 3 throws nowhere near their target.

Love hearing the excitement in Romo's voice on the final drive.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #50307 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:20:50 am »

A great weekend ends on high with the Pats losing.

Well done Steelers.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50308 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:21:27 am »

that's this year's nfl for you. the steelers lose 3 straight, look in a lot of trouble from the ravens in the division and manage to beat the patriots.

they'll probably go and win in the superdome now!

Something Worse · « **Reply #50309 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:23:36 am »

Brady made some poor choices at the end there, that's a real shame.

Steelers entire season right there, they're a for sure one and done in the playoffs.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #50310 on:** December 17, 2018, 12:24:07 am »

Total lack of discipline. So many penalties and errors.

We aren't getting a bye at this rate.

If the Rams make it through the next free weeks unscathed I can't see them not winning it

Errr so Nick Foles just beat the Rams guys.

Statto Red · « **Reply #50313 on:** December 17, 2018, 07:12:36 am »

So, after losing 3 straight the Steelers beat the Pats, the Eagles beat the Rams after losing to the Cowboys last week, oh & the Cowboys get shut out in Indy, Seahawks lose in overtime at the 49ers, after the Miracle in Miami, the Dolphins get hammered in Minneapolis.

Another crazy weekend in the NFL.

Having watched the highlights it looks like I was wrong, Jared Goff just beat the Rams.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #50316 on:** December 17, 2018, 09:06:52 am »

Cowboys *probably* just need 1 win from last 2 games to win NFC East. Surely they do it at home to the Bucs on Sunday?

Great result for the Eagles last night. Still need to win both remaining games and hope Vikings lose one to grab a wildcard. That's even without factoring in the Panthers who play Saints tonight.

One things for sure. Sunday 30th is gonna be nuts

voodoo ray · « **Reply #50317 on:** December 17, 2018, 09:08:41 am »

What? Pretty odd even for the NFL when all the top 2 seeded teams lose.

Is it correct that nothing changed (positions wise) for the playoff picture. SUre I heard that in the background, but can't work it out

Another win for our lads again last night mate. That's 4-10 now

Rams and Bears yet to play. Wonder if the Niners can have some bearing on who gets the #2 seed assuming Saints get #1. Unlikely but the way the results have been shaping up lately you never know.
