NFL 2016: WEEK ELEVEN

[Gonzo]

Since I think Dolfan is still floating around the Atlantic somewhere (DOLPHIN FLOATING! DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?), here's the Week 11 NFL Thread.

Vikings waived Blair Walsh finally

I believe Kai Forbath is the replacement.

Honestly it could have been me and Vikings fans would have been happy

This is correct. On all counts.

Walsh has everything it takes to be a great kicker, but after last January it wasn't happening in Minnesota.

With the addition of Forbath, the Vikings' kicker, holder/punter, and long snapper were all on the same UCLA team in college, which I'm sure has happened at some point in NFL history but I'm not aware of it.

Brock Tebow goes to Mexico this week against El Hermano de Carr. What could go wrong?

[Josh Mann]

The last six plays have truly been Mike Shula's finest hour.

New Orleans has a Denver level defense, right? That's why we look like a D2 team thus far, right?

[Josh Mann]

The Paul Westhead era Denver Nuggets, sure. 

[Vincey Greene]

The previous number 24 wouldn't have made that bonehead error. Schmuck.

[CSC]

I just want a pair of those footie pajamas that the Panthers are wearing as uniforms tonight.

[CSC]

Holy shit that look on Kuechly's face being carted off the field is heartbreaking and terrifying all at once.

[Vincey Greene]

I'm trying to not read much into Luke's expression but yechh. Can we just skip December and end 2016 now?

[hammerva]

it looked like he knew what was the problem (the concussion) and tried everything he could to fight it and got scared to death when he couldn't shake it.   Especially since I guess he has a history of concussion problems

[CSC]

Yea - with their record and his history of concussions, he knows his season is probably over after that.

The scary part is that I think it was at least two plays from the initial hit until he was taken out.  The play before he got removed, it looked like he was having a hard time getting up near the sidelines - so he had gotten his bell rung already before that.

Better be, honestly.

 

Rare division win! Woo.

[RIPPA]

Boy - shows you what a shitty slate of 1 pm games it is. The local DC affiliate is showing the Giants/Bears (since the Skins are on Sunday Night)

Granted it helps that the Ravens are playing the Cowboys - since that is the other game

[DouglasC]

Bills fans travel well. I guess.

 

[RIPPA]

Bears score an opening drive TD aided by a roughing the passer because of course, they do

The only thing keeping me from a murderous rage is because they missed the XP

[RIPPA]

Are you fucking kidding me?

Giants TD - miss XP

Welcome to the New Meadowlands in Nov

[RIPPA]

They are going to lose to the God Damn Bears

[johnnyboy]

Titans are back to normal.  Unlucky with a nonterception though on the 3rd touchdown.  Straight between the cornerback's arms and into Hilton's.

[pipGofern]

Nothing sums up the Browns like Steelers having first and goal with 10 sec left. Two pass plays and horrible clock management and time expires. But penalty on Cleveland gives Pittsburgh an untimed down. Gamblin' Tomlin goes for the TD, Cleveland breaks up the pass...but PI on the corner. Another untimed down. Tomlin goes again...and finally Bell scores the TD.

[RIPPA]

7 XPs have been missed today so far 

[RIPPA]

Robbie Gould just missed his 2nd XP to make it 8 missed total today
