NFL 2020: Week 12

JEREMY CHINN NFC ROOKIE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR!!

Chinn just had scoop-n-scores on back-to-back Vikings offensive plays. Two TDs in 10 seconds.

Is it weird that I'd prefer to watch the NO-DEN trainwreck than KC-TB?

I mean, how often do you get to see a real football game where a position group isnt going to take the field? I'm expecting an Army/Navy type of game. In the NFL!

Not at all. Who really still wants to watch Tom Brady in 2020?

Just like the Jags to score the same number of TDs and FGs as the Browns, but lose by 2 because they went for two 2-point conversions and failed both.

So what are the deciding factors between a team that gets their game rescheduled, and a team that gets told, "f**k you, play with whoever you have left"?

It's been pretty clear even if I don't agree with how often they decided to play anyway. The broncos have a single player with covid and think they have the outbreak contained, just like the 49ers were missing all their WRs a couple weeks ago, GB was missing all of their RBs, and the bills only had Tyler Kroft because he had a kid and missed the TE practices the week they caught it. It's just the first time the position group getting hit is QB.

The Ravens have a coach that managed to infect several position groups, and even worse was not wearing their tracker. I hope they come down hard on the broncos though, I'm hearing the QBs are not cooperating with contact tracing.

I didn't realize until the game started that they were playing the Saints though, this is the wildest QB situation I've ever seen.

Jeez why was I watching Titans?

Teddy finally getting some help from defense eh?

EDIT: But not special teams. Wide left.

Just realized with the Saints starting Taysom Hill, this is the first NFL game in history featuring zero QBs.

First combined four drives of the game took a bit over 9 minutes, and featured a total of 16 plays. Four punts. BARN BURNER.

More than halfway through the 2nd quarter, Taysom Hill is the better QB at 3/5 for 3 yards. Hinton is 0/4.

Jags fire Dave Caldwell. White Caldwell face!

I always liked seeing announcers talk about Mohammad Sanu's perfect passing stats of 7/7 for 4 TDs. He's sucked ever since he missed his 8th pass.

Niners actually get some players back and so they go on the road and take down a 7-3 team.

BORKBORKBORK was always a bad password.

It is nice when non-Browns teams do Browns things when playing the Browns.

Or the offense. Teddy was off for large parts of the game. He had some great throws and some bad throws, (including a red zone pick), and he wasn't great on the two final drives. And then the defense completely collapsed at the end.

Take out Chinn's 2 TDs in 10 seconds, and the Vikings would have won comfortably. What a disappointment.

Memo to self: Remember that shutting out a Lions team that quit after halftime does not mean the defense is any good.

Jags could use some actual Caldwell Face. Someone proven to be able to rebuild a team.

But then pull an anti-Detroit and DON'T fire him when he does it.

Even football broadcasts are throwing everyone they can get on air due to COVID. I had no idea Collinsworth's son was on NBC until just a few minutes ago.

Wherever "No, no, a quarterback" guy is, I hope he's at least feeling vindication.

There's still enough season left for the Vikes and Bears to join the Lions in firing their coach.

I would enjoy that very much. If the Vikes lose to the Jags next week it might even happen.

I was waiting for someone to suggest madden, and juju delivers. https://twitter.com/TeamJuJu/status/...

Soon: The NFLs 1st Ever Double Header Extravaganza

At some point either a team or two (or more?) is going to play on 3 days rest and a key starter or two gets blown up letting Bellacheat win another SB

In a Super Bowl between the Patriots and Brady's Bucs, would you root for a tornado or an earthquake to level the stadium?

Wednesday afternoon Football!!!

Note that it is 340 because NBC wants to run the Rockefeller Tree Lightning more than this game.

Why not both?

I see "Let Russ Cook" has switched to "Let Russ Throw Checkdowns". I sure am glad Pete got a contract extension.
