Official NFL Week 12 Gameday Thread

Andy Reid being Andy Reid again. worst clock management of anyone still working in football. no concept of time and place. how the fuck do you kick the field goal there? you still need 2 touchdowns. whats the worst thing that happens? you miss the conversion, and then you save a few seconds on the punt return, but you have a chance to kick the bears in the teeth in their home stadium and seize momentum. if you score the touchdown with 4 minutes left, you can skip the onside kick and get it back with time to use.

as soon as i saw them line up for the field goal, i said to myself, game over...

When? On the 4th and Goal from the 18?

I wanna see them go up North and play one of the other NFC Elites. Luckily for them they may not have too. I don't believe they could do it.

pointless rant ^

I also picked the bears, Rams, and Vikings to win today

When? On the 4th and Goal from the 18?

yes, there.

you've got a white hot quarterback who people spent all week pimping for the MVP, the 3 points from the field goal means absolutely nothing since you still need 2 touchdowns anyway (and a 2 point conversion is a higher percentage play than an onside kick), and chicago wound up punting it back to them from their own 26, so its not like there was any field position advantage to having a kickoff. costs you 21 seconds, and really, it should have cost at least 60 but the bears for some incredible reason decided to try to pass on third down. most importantly, it cost the eagles momentum after out scoring chicago 10-0 in the 4th quarter and looking pretty damn good while doing it.

Nah, just correct.

Nah, just correct.

cut the liberal ,bouncy,bouncy, back and forth bull pucky
Atlanta beat what was supposed to be a better team.

Here is where you said that Green Bay was considered a better team. I went to the two top sites that appeared on google with expert picks and the first two showed a big majority vote of Atlanta winning. I'm sure I can keep going down google and the consensus would be the same across the board.

Like I said before the Dirty Birds are ranked #1 in the NFC in a lot of power rankings. I disagree, hence the overrated comment I said earlier and still stand by.

Don't know where in the whole thing I am wrong but okay.

yes, there.

So you'd rather risk a 4th and goal from the 18 and get no points rather than take a pretty sure 3 points?

Sorry but I agree 110% with Reid's call right there.

you obviously cant think for yourself. Youre much dumber than I thought you were.

plenty of radio I heard last night was picking the Packers.

2 sites of talking heads dont mean shit and the Packers are overrated as well.

5 weeks to see where this falls.....

I wasnt talking about point spreads dimwit. Are the packers considered one of the better teams in the NFC = yes

therefore the Falcons beat a team that is supposed to be better than most others.

Anybody doubting the Bears now?

I doubt every team in the NFC.
