Around the NFL - Week 11 games (no Bills talk in this thread please)

[stuvian]

Watching Ndamukong Suh in the UK pregame show. He's lost so much weight as to be unrecognizable 

The Washington jerseys look like something out of a UFL garage sale

Horrible delay of game

[SCBills]

Miami just smoking their way down the field only to be undone with a delay of game.  That coming after burning a timeout earlier to avoid a delay.

OK, next week YOU start the thread!

Dan Quinns reverse baseball cap look is getting a little age inappropriate like hip-hop Santa 

Mariota is far too brittle for the tush push. Hard to believe he was a #2 overall 

[zow2]

One thing we know, based on how New Englands year is going.  When the Dolphins play the Pats, either Waddle, Achane and/or Tua will be injured and not play. or all of them!

[stuvian]

Washington must have the oldest defensive roster in the league. Will need a near total overhaul in the off-season 

[SCBills]

Tua starting to play well enough to justify them running it back next year. 

[zow2]

Ending those drive with two FGs for Miami is bad. It assured it will be a close game into the 3rd Qtr at least

Mariota does not look like he belongs in the NFL. He can hand off and dump it off, but even his scrambles often result in little gains

Some teams just s**k, and the Commanders are one of them.

Frankly, I'm shocked Achane has held up as well as he has this year.

Excellent.

Mariota is getting knocked around. I don't think he'll finish the game

He’s definitely barely a backup quarterback at this point, and he came off as aloof and unlikeable on Netflix’s “Quarterback”, so I have no use for him 😂

[stuvian]

The league sending mediocre teams to Europe is actually brilliant marketing. Soccer fans who are used to very little scoring and action won't be as put off by a lackluster game (by North American standards)

Washington made some adjustments and they are now passing effectively.  Pick up the blitz and throwing to the middle.

The PI call on Miami makes you seriously wonder about refs betting on games. Ridiculous call. No contact or minimal contact by defender. Ball was 10 feet over receiver’s head. Takes Washington out of 3rd and 12 hole on their own five.  You know it’s a bad call when the Blandino says it’s a bad call.

True but the Dolphins allowed Washington to march the length of the field to kick the game tying FG.  Betting had no influence on the rest of that drive.

You can never tell, unfortunately, but it’s a reality the NFL created for itself. That sort of “keep the halftime score close” call could easily be a bet that they might feel more confident about slipping through since it isn’t the final score. Probably not, but again, who knows.

Zach Ertz is still a very reliable tight end
