No weekly football thread?

Well, LSU v Oklahoma looked good on paper.

 

[JujuFish]

Agree. I'm hoping they are a lot less beat up for an edge. The wife and kid are in DC so I won't have to hear her yelling for OSU in the other room....uni of s.c. grad and rabid fan.

Go OSU!

I have family that went to USC and family from Ohio. That's double anti-Clemson for tonight.

 

[highland145]

lol you married a Gamecock!

Tried to bring her station up in life.

Didn't work.

We were married a year, I'm outside raking a bazillion leaves (football wasn't really on my radar back then). She comes out, "I'm only going to say this once..WE WON." And goes back in the house.

Me, bitch slapped, standing there holding my rake.

I stopped pulling against the chickens over the last couple of years. Disabled animals and all. Then they beat uga. Omg, the mouth on that woman. KFC, Chic fil a for life.

She did bring my station up. Defuq why she married me.

Aw, man, don't make me assisinate you.

My wife can give you some fall tips around stairs.


Are you in SC?

I abhor saying stupid things like this, but I am thinking LSU could compete with a team like the Bengals or the Dolphins. ....LSU would probably still lose rather decisively, but they'd compete for a quarter or two!

I didn't see any of the game you folks are talking about but I did watch a couple of LSU games this season and was HELL OF IMPRESSED! I think they were #1 for a while and I was thinking very well deserved.

I was in the gym today and overheard TV coverage of whatever game Ohio State was playing. Couldn't pick up on the score but I gathered that they were getting their asses kicked. I wasn't at all sure they deserved the #1 ranking they had for a while. Evidently they had a letdown today.

Could have been the OSU 2016....C beat them 31 to 0 which is why they might have chip tonight.

Yeah, dunno what it was, maybe a replay. I don't get to see any of the ESPN games, I'm strictly OTA. I'll watch the seahawks 9ers game tomorrow. Closely.

I see LSU is ranked #1 now. Yeah, they're tough. Their QB IIRC, real gamer. No sliding for him! Joe Borrow.

Edit: Uh huh... 56 to 14 now, 8:50 to go in Q3. Total domination. LSU's defense must be kickin' ass. Jalen Hurts isn't doing so well today.

56 to 14 vs OK, atm, 3rd quarter.

Yup, that's called one sided! Might be able to say that for the Championship Game, I'm thinking. I probably won't get to see it.

Not anymore but I lived in Irmo for a bit.

Wife's friends have/had the rights to Sir Big Spur. Brought the chickens/trailer/etc to every game, every sport. Good peeps.

Dolphins go into NE and come away with the win 27-24, Fitzpatrick was hit often and sacked but he stood tall and delivered accurate throws, now the Pats lose the #2 seed and will host a game next week.

 

[OccamsToothbrush]

How is it possible to lose to the Dolphins when you're at home and have something to play for?

 

[BoomerD]

<phew> The Packers managed to win at Detroit in the final seconds. First round bye is good.

 

[zinfamous]

Man, I hope Lynch still has some magic left in him--he wasn't very good in OAK, but then SEA has a much better line this year than they've ever had, and maybe he will eat a barrel of Skittles and a bottle of Cognac to get pumped. (that's his actual diet, before you people get angry at me! )

Lynch isn't gonna fix ALL of Seattle's weak spots, but I sure as hell hope he can make a difference.

I saw the stats but didn't get to watch. Were the Lions particularly good today or did the Packers just suck?

Eating barrels and glass doesn't sound like much of a diet.
Let's see how fast he gets winded. If he gets much playing time.

some of both.

 

[zinfamous]

Wasn't Jones out for most of the first half? I didn't follow all of that game.

The Dolphins have been playing much better the last 5 weeks, the coaches had Fitz ready for the bevy of blitz's NE threw at them. Fitz played with guts and was deadly accurate and Gilmoure, (who's in the discussion for defensive player of the year), was burned often surrendering an eye-popping 135yds. Keep in mind Miami's head coach was the defensive Q for the Pats last year, he knew exactly what kind of plan they had and out-coached BB today. BB is now 13-13 when facing ex-Patriot coaches.

Yeah, previous three weeks were who, the Bengals, Jets and Giants? Squeaking out a couple of ugly wins there doesn't mean much. They were not impressive, they just beat some awful teams.

Fair enough, for them this WAS their playoff's and they pulled out the win. It's not like the Patriot offense has been a juggernaut this year, between Brady making poor throws and people not getting open it's been bad. Expect a one and done this playoff, if this is Brady's last season it's been a hell of a run.
