Week 11 Thread

Ravens on a bye, Steelers & Bengals on the road

Browns could take a one game lead in the division if results go their way. They should beat the Texans, it's Ryan Mallet's first start

I'm looking forward to this game

Going with the Dolphins tonight, got €15 on Miami -2.5 and over 24.5 points total at 6/5.

I always thought the Bills backup RB was BOBBY Dixon... nope, it is indeed BOOBIE Dixon. Just a shame Sam Gash isn't around anymore to block for him.

Boobie and Gash, it's got a certain ring to it.

It helps my bet, but that grounding call is a perfect example of the big name QB bias I was talking about a week or two back - if Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Luck, Rivers or Roethlisberger do that, it would have never been flagged.

Yeah it was a good game for a low scoring one - two over matched offenses aware that they were overmatched, cautiously working down the field and getting what they could take. A fumbled punt and and Tannehills fumble aside there weren't really any bad mistakes made apart from some blocking errors, though against two excellent pass rushes. Not much punting, and the running and short passing games were both sound.

Then the refs ballsed it up. Wasn't a fan of the grounding penalty... fair enough if you're going to give it, but in future try giving it against the top 10 QBs too in those instances. The DPI call was egregious to put it mildly, especially with how stacked against DBs the rules already are. The Bills imploded a little offensively in the second half too, but for the most part I really enjoyed seeing two coaches call the right game on that side of the ball with limited resources, given what they were up against. Even little things like declining the delay of game penalty because a 40 yard punt would be tougher than a 45 yarder to pin back.

Didn't like the taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that cost Buffalo a first down either, but I have a feeling a banned word was probably used.

Worst of all, Tannehill messing up that pass for TD near the end cost me a €33 swing, bah humbug! Hartline I think it was had 5 yards to throw to and all!

Made me think of Boobie Miles, then I got sad
