NFL GDT: Week 11 - Part 2 - MNF Conclusion

[m9]

Who cares about crowning an MVP right now? Lots of season left.

The Chiefs played two deep and gave the Rams 15 yard outs when they had no timeouts. They should have made the Rams dink and dunk over the middle instead of chunk yards on out breaking routes.

Given what was happening, I'd rather count on the offense scoring again than the defense stopping them. They didn't do either obviously.

 

[GKJ]

3rd most points in NFL history. 4 of the top 5 are games that took place in November.

Highest scoring MNF game surpassing a 1983 game where Green Bay beat Washington 48-47.

Chiefs are the first team to score 50 points and lose.

Rams are the 10th team in NFL history to score exactly 54 points.

Saints, Chargers, the teams in this game, Chargers, Steelers.

The three best defenses in football: Bears, Cowboys, Ravens

Chargers have to be kicking themselves after Chiefs lost. Golden opportunity to gain a game and they blew it.

If only the NFL had two MVPs like MLB...

There have been Co-MVP's before:

97 - Barry Sanders and Brett Favre
03 - Peyton Manning and Steve McNair

This may come as a surprise but the team with the #1 Offense (in terms of yards) coming into the game wasn't the Rams, Chiefs or Saints


-Tampa Bay

It's all the bad sports talk morning shows can talk about lately. But you're right. There's plenty time for somebody else to sneak into the convo.

Yards don't really matter.

 

[Bob Richards]

First time a team scored 50 and lost

 

[Filthy Dangles]

that was f***ing insane

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I miss this game already

Yards don't really matter.

In 2009, the Cowboys had the NFL's #2 ranked offense in terms of yards, but were actually the lowest scoring of the 6 NFC playoff teams that year.

 

[Terry Yake]

felt like i just watched the super bowl

 

[EpochLink]

This is one of the all time quarterback duels ever.

What a show from these two teams.

 

[GKJ]

Totally ripped my style

 

[irunthepeg]

I am 100% content being tired this morning from staying up to watch that. What an incredible game. The worst part about it was that it had to end.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Those are the top 2 young QBs in the game right now? I know 'young' isn't fixed, but...

Add Wentz, Watson, Trubisky, plus maybe one guy from the current rookie class. That's not a bad "generation" I don't think.

I don't think stretching back to Mariota and Winston helps the cause. Nor Bortles. Then you're at 2012 with Luck and Wilson.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Man, incredible game to watch, incredible game for both teams... Horrible game for my fantasy football team... I had Gurley, opponent had Tyreek Hill, Josh Reynolds (LMAO WTF), Butker, and LAR defense... Talk about a perfect shit-storm for my team.

Granted, I'm still 9-2, but that was a very frustrating game for me. Adding on top of a lousy day at work and the Penguins blowing a 4-1 lead, it wasn't a great sports night for me. At least it was a historic game though. lol

Kinda ballsy starting a D vs KC ..

It should still be Mahomes as the frontrunner and not even close.

 

[Roboturner913]

Yes. This was not a well-played football game despite the fireworks. How many contested catches were there in that game at all? 3 or 4 total? It was a hot mess from a defensive perspective.

NFL lifer Defensive Coordinators are behind the times. You no longer have time to get aligned pre-snap because nearly all the top offensive minds are quick snapping. Both the Chiefs and Rams were caught multiple times trying to get lined up before the snap. Now not all games are like Monday night and I don't think it's a harbinger of things to come. Most games are still in the 20's.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Does Riddick post similar things about pathetic high school level offenses when games end 9-3 or so?

I mean often a great D is just a result of a god awful offense (Especially at QB) being opposition

I don't think this is future of NFL to have this type of shootout but having the two best offenses going at it and having this result was great for league and something entertaining

Seems a lot of people are trying everything they can to bash game and anyone who enjoyed it
