Open NFL 2024-2025: Week 13

[Jon]

Yeah, I've sucked royally at keeping up with threads. Sorry about that. Been a rough week. Here's week 13, Thanksgiving week. Remember, 3 games on Thursday, one on Friday this week!



Week 13 picks can be found here!

 

[Quagmire]

No worries, life gets busy, especially this time of year

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I have gotten every game right except for the Steelers - Bengals game. I imagine a bunch only missed one game, too, though. Doubt the Browns win on the road tomorrow.

I'll get the results up tomorrow at some point, but I don't believe I did well.

A lot of games were unanimous this week, so that is kinda surprising.

I just don't remember who I picked lol

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I got all but one because I chose the Bengals to win at home and didn't expect Russell Wilson to have the best game he's had in years.

Looks like we lost more players. Alu made no picks this week.

I told you I sucked this week lol

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ok, which of you jerks switched to Green Bay after I did?

[Jon]

Don't ask me about my other picks though. No fucking idea

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I figured that Detroits defense is so banged up that the Packers have an honest shot. Especially after how close the Bears, of all teams, got on turkey day.

Yeah, I figure this to be a high scoring affair, but the Packers are much healthier.

That and I have Gibbs in fantasy so I am expecting him to be shut down, because that's my luck.

 

[Jon]

Apparently any scrub off the street can play defense for Detroit.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

It's not looking good.

 

[Jon]

It's not looking good.

Apparently Green Bay forgot how to play defense tonight

 

[Fool's Requiem]

gah, I'm the only dork that picked Dallas to win. Almost had it with that block, but then some moron touched the ball.

That saved my first round bye, so no insulting that moron allowed!

I also had an abhorrent week

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I was perfect going into the late afternoon games. At the very least, this Bills/Lions game is going to end it.

 

[bittersweet]

Yep, the Lions are trying, but the Bills got too far away from them at the end of the first half.

 

[Jon]

DID THE LIONS GET IT!?

 

[Jon]

Nope

We need to get rid of stupid onside kicks...

4th and 30 from the 20... make it happen.

 

[bittersweet]

Those rules are stupid.

You have to alert the officials and the other team that you're going to do an onside kick?

Yup, changed this year with the new kickoff rules. And there's been only like 2 that were successful.

 

[bittersweet]

Yeah, they said out of 40 something attempts.

 

[Jon]

It's almost impossible. The only way I've seen it is by bouncing the kick straight up and hoping it goes 10 yards and your team wins the jump ball.

Every single other attempt just never works.

They need to change it because being down more than one score with 2 minutes left is a death sentence and makes games less fun. That Buffalo/Detroit game was fun. It sucked it had to end that way.

 

[bittersweet]

Yeah, it seems counter-intuitive to helping a team try to close the gap when they can't sneak it in like in the past.
