Along with the Raiders, the Giants are another team that is totally not giving up on 2018!

To be fair, having three first round picks in 2019 is pretty nice for them. Is it worth giving up Mack and Cooper? Probably not. But I can see what they're trying to do.

I agree, but they're also pushing the narrative that they're playing for this season.

Does anyone really care about the Dolphins and Texans tonight? Most Thursday night games have been sheer boring mediocrity, and I bet tonight will be no exception.

This might be one of the more interesting ones we've had yet. It's two teams that have shown flashes of promise, but are still fighting to be relevant in the playoff picture. Winner stays in decent position. Loser falls to .500

2 flags in two snaps? With no plays from scrimmage? Awesome start guys! Actually it gave me time to find the channel though, so I don’t mind.

Enough of this blatant refball already.

What the fuck is with the Dolphins, the Texans should not be doing so good already?! They just picked it off and gave them the ball again!

Oh my God they seriously threw a flag when it was at zero for the half, only to reset the clock with 16 seconds. Good thing the Texans decided, "No we're not play one more snap after a penalty, we want to go into the half" and they did.

The refs are making the Dolphins look better, if anything. They gave them that touchdown.

I see the Dolphins taking a play from the Giants now. Damn, that was good; both for the Dolphins and my Fantasy team.

Yeah, one of my friends did the same thing. I'm sure he's screaming right now. Amendola was a good last minute pick up I must say.

Yes, actually. First round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick and a guy they broke the bank for in Reshad Jones.

Can someone find out where they went during halftime then... because its sure doesn't look like they've been out on the field this half.

Flacco, apparently, recently bought a mattress from Payton's brother. Which I assume makes Flacco the first NFL QB to lose a game to a team coached by his mattress salesman's brother. Who knows though? Stranger things have happened. :P

I saw that clip. it was vintage Flacco. Like the "I get a car" comment after he beat his head coach's brother's team in SB 47. That had never happened before either. :lol:
