Week 7 Other Games

[pbmax]

Portrait of a deteriorating mind:

1. Other games are on, according to the stringer method of updating scores on ESPN radio.
2. How is it that in 2018 we are still calling in brief reports from the field to a radio announcer from the stadium like a national correspondent in 1964?
3. I would use my phone to check except the touch screen is wonky and if I try to use it in the car, I will get into an accident while throwing it out the window.
4. What week is it?
5. Search for other games threads on front page and add 1 to highest number?
6. These bozos don't always use same form for thread title.
7. I see Rand couldn't remember either last week.
8. Well what is the most common record?
9. There are bye weeks now, its not going to solve the problem.
10. Bye weeks are terrible.
11. What is the Packers record?
12. Tex thought it was 4-2-1 and I was going to make fun of him but someone beat me to it and I did not want to pile on.
13. Week 7

Here is how you fix the catch rule:

Blue Catch Flag instead of football move.

You catch the ball. You must drop, throw or otherwise get a blue flag on the ground for the catch to count in football move sense. If you lose the ball before the flag hits the turf, no catch. Lose it afterward, catch and fumble.

Vikings, Bears and Lions all winning. Scratch that, Bears tied now.

Where is the blue flag?

Radio works, audio works. See: podcasts

7. I see Rand couldn't remember either last week.

I Didn't forget, I just didn't care to check. And the "This Week" thing works because we can just add to it as virtually no one posts anymore.

It feels like Packerrats is pretty much done. Is it the socials? Is everyone else on twit/faceplant/snipechat/Intsagratification, etc.?

[Rastak]

Agree Rand, pretty much dead most of the time.

[mraynrand]

Rot-weiller just put a TD pass on the dime rolling out from 30 yards away.

[Rastak]

Vikings pulling away from the Jets...

I know there's a number of guys with younger kids. Mine are out the door now...

I’m an old empty nester so Sunday can be all football. One of the very few benefits of growing old.....

[Joemailman]

Eagles now 3-4. It's tough at the top.

Where is the blue flag?

Up to the offensive player. They get provided a piece of velcro on the flag. Stick it on or in sock. Tuck it into belt. Attach to wristband or in elbow pad. Tie it to your facemask if you dare.

Jets just need some receivers.

Bears fans cheered Kevin White's first catch of the year. I don't think it was entirely sincere

Most Bear 2 minute drive of all time. They had 30 second to get into Hail Mary/TD range. First pass was to middle of field for 10 yards. Patriots laid on him for 10 seconds. They throw that one away or send it to a less likely completion on a sideline then the next fail Bear is less likely to occur.

Hail Mary caught by Kevin White, as clean as you could expect on a jump ball at the 2. but back is to goal line and he can't get any momentum before a Patriot grabs him. Backs up a step closer but they then finish him off. Packer might have been able to student body middled that into the end zone.

But the lack of five more yards at the beginning of a drive means Trubisky cannot make the end zone with the throw.

I think Kahlil Mack has contacted a fatal disease. Saw a TE block him and take him to the turf on an off tackle play.

[mraynrand]

Browns offense is so stagnant that they can't capitalize on 4 TOs. They play it totally safe with Mayfield until they have no choice but to just start winging it.

I think Kahlil Mack has contacted a fatal diseason

Some years are just like that
