Facebook link so GL. But hilarious! XD

LOL

having the time of his life, with an indifferent face.

Siemian just threw Thomas open, he shows why he has the job, just hasn't been consistent, probably because of bad line play.

Oh hey, its Russell Okung. Nice to see him again. No wonder Shaq has been in the backfield almost every 3rd down.

I liked that he went back to him right after that really easy drop.

Also, Siemian's wheels are on point today. If DT would have blocked he would have 2 TD runs with making guys miss.

The refs are garbage, how is tackling a WR before the ball gets there not PI?

There's no PI behind line of scrimmage. There can be for tackling though. Which happened.

Here comes the bronchokes

[Norganon]

Ah trying to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory again

[Vetali]

Rex Ryan about to get fired after this game for using passer rating over QBR.

[Norganon]

Sheesh wasting no time either.

[Crackleslap]

Yep. Bronchokes in full force right now.

This is why teams run up scores...

Oh look what happens when you start passing again...

[Pendulous]

Holy hell, got home and the game's still going. It's midnight here.

[Norganon]

This is almost impressive.

[Grube]

I can't decide if Watson is better than Stephenson or not. They look the same.

Terrible no call on tackling Fowler with the ball in the air (technically holding and not PI, but whatever same result) completely changed the game.

Shelby Harris bailed out Roby being dumb again right there. He was a really good pickup.

[Vetali]

Well that was a fun ending to what looked like a clunker.

Also, Rex Ryan just said "some days you're the dog, and some days you're the fire hydrant" in a game. Lost my shit.

[Pendulous]

This is a pretty cool stat. If you trail in the fourth quarter, you're probably gonna lose.

Watched the 40 min rebroadcast, sadly at the end of it I already noticed there was no time left for overtime, so I knew they were going to miss it somehow. Still a shame that one of the more entertaining games happened at a time where most of the rest of the world couldn't watch it.

That Lions stat is bonkers. You'd think there's no way they can keep that up, but they continue to do it.

[Vetali]

David Johnson gonna have wrist surgery, out 11-12 weeks.

There goes my pick for OPOTY.

[Vetali]

And my first pick in fantasy. Sad part is I would have taken Zeke if I thought he was going to play!

You can always pick up CJ200 who the cardinals resigned.

[draynay]

Even I didn't stick around to watch the end of the Broncos/Chargers game, and I'm exactly the demographic that should, on paper.

[Grube]

Evidently the refs told the Broncos coaches they missed the penalty on the Siemian pick. At least they know they screwed up.

Looked like it was over until like 10 minutes left in the 4th, plus it didn't end until around 1am eastern. So unless you are on the west coast, or are a fan of either team I don't think many would. Having the Z team calling the game probably didn't keep people around either. Then again, I would take Rex Ryan and whoever that chick was over Collinsworth, Buck or Simms any day of the week so maybe not.

Pretty fascinating how diverse the opinions on the broadcast teams are, and how certain people like certain announcers and hate others and some the other way around. I wonder what all goes into us liking or disliking them and why it is so widely different. It has to be some kind of mix of their speech habits, game commentating habits, their voice sounds, most likely their football views and even their (perceived) biases.

Pretty amazing that those deliver such a wide array of opinions that most people feel pretty strongly about. You would think there's some kind of base competence that would allow for the perceived top teams to generally be favourably viewed, but that's definitely not the case.
