**TNF on Prime - Falcons at Buccaneers**(-5.5, 43.5) FF Playoffs Kickoff at 8:15 - Let's GO!!! (1 Viewer)

[efactor]

That’s close

 

[Buckna]

Tie to the runner IMO

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

OMG, if that is another TD for PItts

My opponent with Cousins is probably apoplectic.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Butt definitely hit first

 

[dickey moe]

One foot down, one buttcheek down, elbow out.

 

[GoBirds]

Does the towel count?

 

[fatness]

Oooooh, it's a butt-elbow race.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

 

[Buckna]

I'm at almost 50 points from Pitts, holy moly

 

[dickey moe]

******** that that is a catch and Likely's wasn't.

 

[renesauz]

honestly think elbow was first, but it was too hard to tell to change the call on the field.

 

[irish eyes]

And idiot went for 2 on last td

 

[Man In The Box]

Pitts had 11 touchdowns in almost 5 seasons before tonight. What a game.

 

[Chaka]

Yeah, that's a catch and fumble but Isaiah Likely wasn't a TD

remember, rules are what the nfl wants.

Okay, but doesn't that make sense? I mean it's NFL football.

if it was consistent it would.

the joke is that if the nfl wants it to be a catch, it'll be called a catch, and if they want it to be no catch, it will be ruled that way. ETC

What does that even mean? Are you suggesting a conspiracy? To what end? Why do they want the 13th largest media audience, Tampa Bay, to win over the 7th ranked market?

Who, specifically is mandating this? How are they disseminating this mandate in real time and, assuming multiple people are involved, how have there been no whistle blowers?

Its a conspiracy theory without a purpose.

I have been halfway kidding that the NFL is scripted for years. Keeping games "entertaining" seems like a good motivation. Then you possibly add in betting...

Now, gambling I can absolutely see. 18 penalties to 3 seems... suspect. But, that can be a couple crew members going rogue. I can't see a scenario where the league would be involved in fixing games. There is no amount of money they could make that would make up for the PR hit they would take over a league mandated game fixing scheme.

 

[Penguin]

48.2 for Pitts in TE Premium

43.2 in PPR

38.2 in Standard

 

[SoBeDad]

And idiot went for 2 on last td

The Rams approve.

 

[My_Bench_Scores_More]

Bah!!! I was hoping for OT.... should have handed it to Robinson.

 

[Lansdowne]

KYLE M’F PITTS

 

[fatness]

Yes, I am entertained.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I'm at almost 50 points from Pitts, holy moly

52 for me since we also get .2/target

A lowly 37.2 in my other league. He’s outscored Cousins by 14

 

[renesauz]

I'm at almost 50 points from Pitts, holy moly

in my TE premium league, he has 66. So much for my week there


MFL had me favored by 20, now he's favored by 30 (he also started Cousins)

 

[irish eyes]

How does Raheem Morris have a job. Absolute dolt.

 

[My_Bench_Scores_More]

48.2 for Pitts in TE Premium

In my league, he left 33.20 points on the bench.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

KYLE M’F PITTS

I traded a still very good DHop for pick 1.10. It’s been a very, very long time coming.

Game for the ages. I hope he keeps this up for the entire FF playoffs.

 

[Buckna]

And idiot went for 2 on last td

Someone fire up the "when coaches do dumb stuff" thread or whatever it's called - what were they thinking

 

[rzrback77]

I've never owned Kyle Pitts. Picked him up last week in a win and get in scenario and he came through for me with 15. Hoping to get a similar nice line this week. London out, Pitts seems to get the looks. Hope that continues.

Talk about major positive hit. Surely you win this week.

 

[Insein]

48.2 for Pitts. This is payback against the guy I'm playing. Back in 2011 he had Roddy White on a Thursday night week 15 and dropped 50 on me. Ended me before I could even play.

 

[Hobbes]

I love how they keep saying "clear and obvious" when it is clearly "uhh this is what we think." It used to be "indisputable" but they had to abandon that after how many were clearly disputable. Now they are not clear or obvious...so where do they go next?

It's a good start.

 

[Donnybrook]

Pitts is going to be a free agent after this season.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

How does one casually pick up Pitts? He was a top ~3 TE

 

[Penguin]

In FFPC Pitts just moved ahead of J.Ferguson for TE2 behind McBride

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Pitts is going to be a free agent after this season.

Chiefs?

Have you watched the game? Hardly any of those calls were soft. Atlanta EARNED those flags

Hilarious. I kept waiting to read "deez nutz" somewhere in that rant. Ha ha

8 team family league with grandma and drunk uncle Jesse?

 

[irish eyes]

Exactly why teams like Atlanta suck every year when you have a coach like Morris.

 

[Chaka]

Exactly why teams like Atlanta suck every year when you have a coach like Morris.

That seems like a thorough and insightful analysis.

 

[Terpman22]

If Falcons get the ball back, Bijan will have a long TD

 

[renesauz]

yep...had to throw. ONly up 2, can't kill enough clock to be good without getting a first down

 

[fred_1_15301]

Baker seems to always throw off target when going to Egbuka.

 

[renesauz]

an obvious DPI here would be right on cue for the game....but nope a sack instead

 

[The Frankman]

If Baker throws it in front of Egbuka that's a 60+ TD. Atlanta was blitzing and no one was back.

 

[My_Bench_Scores_More]

Mayfield, you suck! If you threw that ball accurately, THAT would have been the target I've been waiting for all night. Egbuka was off to the races with a good throw.

Pffffffft. Laser-guided passes to all your other receivers..... garbage to Egbuka.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What would the Falcons record be if Cousins started all year?

 

[JoeJoe88]

3rd seed in my main dynasty league got to pick his first round opponent…opponent has Kyle Pitts and Mike Evans lmao

 

[My_Bench_Scores_More]

If Baker throws it in front of Egbuka that's a 50+ TD. Atlanta was blitzing and no one was back.

SO pissed off. garbage throw.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’m positive this will either be a pick for cousins or TD #5 for Pitts

 

[renesauz]

strip sack!!!!!

 

[Penguin]

Who the funk is this Sills kid? Never heard of him
