**Saturday Matinee on NFLN - Chargers at Patriots**(+4, 42.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Gah - Maye being potentially out doesn’t help my Dayan Henley share. 3 & outs are the worst thing for IDP assets.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Just so we’re all clear:

Debatin’ manning

Paintin’ manning

That’s…debatable

 

[Long Ball Larry]

How is it possible to come back after being questionable with a head injury? Is there a long set of tests to assess a concussion? Seems like if there is any concern about it, they should probably be ruled out.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Oof this is going to be a horrible game

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Is there a long set of tests to assess a concussion?

Yes

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Starting Maye and going against Herbert one league. Going against Chargers D in another league. Hard to imagine a more disastrous start

Hard to imagine you didn't have a better option at QB than Maye? Or is it Superflex.

It was either rodgers or Bryce Young. Everything else on the wire is pathetic. Summerpalooza league does not play.

 

[Osaurus]

The Drake is back (to the bench)

 

[rockaction]

Oh. Maye coming back on the field. Good for the Patriots and for those of us in our championship games.

 

[travdogg]

Johnston should really be used on more of those. His RAC skills are his best asset.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Is there a long set of tests to assess a concussion?

Yes

they need to have him in a low light situation so they can evaluate eye dilation, they ask him questions, etc.

Looks like he’s back.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Is there a long set of tests to assess a concussion?

Yes

How long? Maye has returned to the sideline

 

[Dez]

Odds of a Palmer TD?

I could use it. A little post-Xmas miracle.

11%

 

[rockaction]

Summerpalooza league does not play.

Very knowledgeable league when you consider how it originated and how each individual comes by their knowledge.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Tua Tags OUT vs Cleveland

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tua Tags OUT vs Cleveland

Wow. That kills a lot of LCG teams.

 

[Dez]

These early games are ruining everyone's teams.

Here is a fun one for me I stupidly benched Mahomes at 12:58 PM ET Wed put in Tua and now I hear Tua not likely to play but did not hear that until after 1 PM ET and Maye was my backup plan.

So I have Warren on bench did not know Hubbard was going to be out back on Wed and have to go Kendra Miller.

And now I have no QB for a league (no waivers)

I been playing 35 years and still learning tough lessons and the new lessons is when the NFL F's you over with all these scattered games you play the guys playing early (though I had no clue Tua or Hubbard were actually injured on Wed)

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Tua Tags OUT vs Cleveland

Wow. That kills a lot of LCG teams.

Miami was a top streaming option this week, not sure that's still a good idea, the Miami back up was terrible this season no matter who it was.
I see the Browns winning this game now

 

[Dez]

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said RB Antonio Gibson will start over Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 17 against the Chargers.
On 98.5 The Sports Hub, Mayo said, “Gibby is going to start for us today.” This marks the second time this season Stevenson has been benched for fumble issues. He has now fumbled seven times this season. Expect Stevenson to still mix in for a committee backfield in Week 17, but he falls to RB3 viability. Gibson is worth FLEX consideration.

 

[Insein]

Jesus. He barely touched him. Can I get one flag for Jalen hurts as he gets pummeled by game even when he slides?

 

[Dez]

Tua Tags OUT vs Cleveland

Wow. That kills a lot of LCG teams.

Miami was a top streaming option this week, not sure that's still a good idea, the Miami back up was terrible this season no matter who it was.
I see the Browns winning this game now

This will hurt Tyreek, Waddle and Achane if Tyreek and Waddle play as well.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I guess by “start” mayo meant Gibson will never see the field

 

[Insein]

"it you have a sliding QB and there's contact to the head, they're gonna call that every time"

Unless it's Jalen Hurts.

 

[rockaction]

I see the Browns winning this game now

Dorian Thompson-Robinson is terrible.

I’m pissed because I’m starting Jonnu Smith at TE. The hits just keep coming in this finals week.

 

[rockaction]

"it you have a sliding QB and there's contact to the head, they're gonna call that every time"

Unless it's Jalen Hurts.

Would you like some whine to go with your Philly?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This has the feel of a Thursday night game.

 

[travdogg]

Tua Tags OUT vs Cleveland

Wow. That kills a lot of LCG teams.

Miami was a top streaming option this week, not sure that's still a good idea, the Miami back up was terrible this season no matter who it was.

I'd take Huntley over DTR at QB.

The real question I think, is how far to lower Achane? He's a top-5 RB whenever Tua has played but was pretty awful without him.

 

[rockaction]

What’s wrong with Tua, by the way?

 

[Insein]

"it you have a sliding QB and there's contact to the head, they're gonna call that every time"

Unless it's Jalen Hurts.

Would you like some whine to go with your Philly?

No I would like a flag when my QB slides and still gets concussed.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That fumble goes to Douglas, right?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What’s wrong with Tua, by the way?

Hip

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That fumble goes to Douglas, right?

Sorry dude.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

What’s wrong with Tua, by the way?

Hip injury apparently

 

[Osaurus]

Lol..some BBD with Poison going into the commercial break.

 

[Dez]

The big problem was Christmas was Wednesday so no real practice repots but then again The 2 Wed games if those were options you were screwed anyway.

It was pretty dumb of me to bench Mahomes in restrospect but moving on from that debacle have to worry about Tyreek even playing now and Waddle and how this affects Jonnu ect.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Is there a long set of tests to assess a concussion?

Yes

How long? Maye has returned to the sideline

Idk but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen players go to tent then locker room to be evaluated then return

 

[Snoopy]

NFL Network showing tomorrow's games showed the wrong time for GB@MIN

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Boom!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Man, Herbert with all his weapons is a much more efficient QB.

Last few weeks everything felt forced. This offense is flowing much better.

 

[need2know]

Rout is on

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

17/21, 2/0

Not a bad 1st half.

 

[Dez]

I have another team that had Richardson and Wilson as my only QB's this team is dead anyway but again I had no idea Richardson was hurt at 1 PM ET Wed.

This schedule has been the most brutal weekly schedule the NFL has ever us

 

[Anarchy99]

That fumble goes to Douglas, right?

No. You can’t get assessed a fumble until you have full possession of the ball. Maye gets the fumble.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

and how this affects Jonnu ect.

IIRC Jonnu had a nice run last time Tua missed time.

 

[beef]

Chargers are playing a D3 team today though.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I have HHenry, RS, & Henley going in an LCG, so that’s… fun?

 

[rockaction]

I would say the Chargers won’t have to throw the ball anymore, but they’re just walking down the field doing it. Why change?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

17-0 keep handing it off NE

 

[rockaction]

This schedule has been the most brutal weekly schedule the NFL has ever us

It’s actually aggravating and has taken the fun right out of this week. We should be enjoying this on pins and needles, not sweating every day in agony because of all the questionable designations and teams that are out of it.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I would say the Chargers won’t have to throw the ball anymore, but they’re just walking down the field doing it. Why change?

I don’t think he’s been pressured once

 

[Insein]

Heck of a play by Douglas and Maye
