"Week #11 NFL complaining thread."
I'm getting the jump on Estee this week because I have a complaint about the Colts. This Sunday we're hosting a baby shower for a coworker's wife, and the draw for getting men to attend was beer and football. As in the Colts-Patriots game in HD on my family room TV. And the problem? Is that CBS flexed the game start time to 4:25 pm and the baby shower starts at 2:00. And anybody who thinks the Colts will be remotely competitive in Foxborough? Is dreaming.

1. "RE: Week #11 NFL complaining thread."

I don't see the problem. All you need to do is find a way to stretch out the baby shower for an extra one hundred and forty-five minutes. Just start a compare & contrast discussion on whose labor was more painful. That's good for three hours every time.
Geez, what a wimp.
Need an extra twenty minutes for some reason? 'Who defecated during delivery?' Then count the blushes.

3. "RE: Week #11 NFL complaining thread."

DW and I attended a baby shower last Saturday for a coworker of mine and there were several men there. It was not a traditional baby shower, instead being an informal get-together where the mom-to-be opened some baby gifts at the end. That informal format is what we're also pursuing for our gathering on Sunday.
The funny part about last Saturday's shower was that I spent most of my time talking with the women, as the men were an assortment of rednecky types who talked about hunting and similar topics of no interest to me. Being a parent, I can tell baby and little-kid stories with the best of them.

6. "Tickets, they've got tickets..."

ESPN has added a new section to its master schedule page: a Stubhub link for each displayed (and unplayed) game, listing how many tickets are left available and the lowest price you can get one for. Rams vs. Jets, for example, can be seen in person for as little as ten dollars if you don't mind factoring out gas, tolls, parking, hotel fees, shame paper bag, and so on down the line. The highest low of the current week is the Monday night game ($118), followed by the Inevitable Jerry Johnson Hike ($90).
Detroit or Chicago at Arizona? Two bucks.

But the rumor is if I left the $16 ticket on the dash of my car parked anywhere in Charlotte with the door unlocked it would take less than 1/2 an hour to turn that one ticket into 10.

Medical time out with two Panthers on the ground next to each other. Looks like they are able to walk off the field.

Last few minutes of the game. Last minute touchdown, 2 point conversion, and we are in overtime.
And for some reason the announcer upon seeing a Buccaneer getting the touchdown to win the game...says the Panthers win, idjit.

How can the NFL Network team be working a Sunday game?
And have you considered being just a little less dedicated to your jinxing efforts? The Panthers might be starting to take it personally.

But all on the early games so far. CBS is going to be so let down.
Meanwhile, I suspect that given a choice between the stress of the Colts vs. Patriots game or labor, Max would rather be having contractions right now. But gee, someone's fantasy yards are gonna be awesome.

I'm on the record saying the Colts wouldn't be competitive in Foxborough. The problem is that I started Stevan "16 yards against a terrible run defense" Ridley in three leagues. C'mon Belicheat, run the ball and keep the clock moving.
And the baby shower went well, thankyouverymuch.

Gronk broke his forearm on the last PAT in the 4th. Amazingly enough all the starters were pulled after that for the last drive of the game.

31. "Nope"

Gronkowski hadn't been in for the entire drive. But he's part of the field goal/extra point kicking team, so he came in just for the extra point. The kicking team had missed a chip-shot FG earlier in the game and almost missed an XP. There are a lot of valuable starters on the kicking team, so I don't think any coach would make a change to just one of them.

Ouch.

As Tony Dungy even said, there is no backup extra point team.
And the Patriots already lost two games this year on missed FGs, although thankfully not recently.
But I rarely expect logic to prevail when it comes to discussing the Patriots.

I know Bill's and the NE thoughts on "running up the score": you're a pro team deal with it and I know you agree with it and I sort of do too, espically when I had Gronk last year on my FF team. So when most teams would take the foot off the gas NE suffers a big blow to the Offense for no real reason thus why I'm being sarcastic about it.
No Backup extra point team? What no back-up OL couldn't go out and block, espeically when you've already lost AH your other star TE?
Yes, your logic is missing with that statement.

36. "RE: Nope"

Peter King of SI had a very good discussion about this issue and he said he had no problem with Gronk in there. Gronk has always been a part of the PAT unit, so why take him out then? Keep in mind that rosters only have 45 players so there are always going to be guys pulling double duty on every single team. It's been that way for decades - star players often played on PAT or punt/KO units and were never pulled even when the score was high.
When you think about it, pulling Gronk or other players to put in some chump actually increases the risk of injury because you put guys into unfamiliar roles and situations. It was wrong for the Pats to have Brady out there throwing in the fourth quarter while up 52-24 but I have no issue at all with having Gronk or other regulars out there for their normal kick unit roles.

37. "RE: Nope"

It's a PAT....one play, one block and their pro's not PeeWee. You were up by 30 with a few minutes to play and who would you have injured: Your back up OL or your star TE. Plus most injuries happen when you try to let up so thus why I think NE/Bill is right to not take their foot off the gas but to keep your starts out there is just asking for trouble. NE/Bill found trouble.
Yes, Pepe they do get pulled unless they are the returner as I've seen many teams put in the back ups vs. the Lions over and over through the years. Then the back ups look like All Pro's and get a fat new contract.

38. "RE: Nope"

I'm not talking about pulling starters from an offensive set, I get that... I'm talking about kick units as teams generally don't have second-stringers for kick units because of roster numbers and frankly, manpower is more essential for other areas than kick units. Stars will often get rested on offense or defense with a huge lead, but still play on PATs or FG units. As Peter King put it, PATs and FGs are amongst the lowest risk factors for an injury as has been proven throughout the years.
This was a fluke injury - let's not make a mountain out of a molehill, it didn't happen because of the score or whether a substitution should have been made.

39. "Right"

LAST EDITED ON 11-20-12 AT 09:25 PM (EST)
The thing that's funny about it is that I'd actually said to my kids during the scoring drive, "Belichick at least has enough sense to get Gronkowski out of there and let the other four tight ends play, but what's Brady still doing in there? Does he really want to be stuck with Ryan Mallett as the starter?"
And then Gronkowski gets hurt going out on the place-kicking team. Talk about a low-probability injury; he breaks an arm while simply blocking on the wing.
Yes, the Patriots really have six tight ends on the roster (plus one on season-long IR): Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Visanthe Shiancoe (a 10-year vet with the Giants and Vikings), Daniel Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui, and Brad Herman, with Jake Ballard (ex-Giant, whom the Patriots claimed on waivers) on IR. There are also two different tight end positions on the Patriots' offense, Y (Gronkowski, Fells, Hoomanawanui) and F (for "flex": Hernandez, Shiancoe). So, even with Hernandez coming back for the next game, either Fells or Hoomanawanui will likely end up starting.

Well now you understand why the Ravens couldn't tackle Leftwich on that 31 yard TD on the second play of the game. Even though he's not exactly the most mobile QB around (he makes Peyton Manning look like Speedy Gonzales), it took the Ravens defenders a while to wash out their bleeding eyes enough to be able to see clearly.

I've already heard one radio host declare the uniforms to be the ugliest in the history of time, which seems to encompass a little too much. Burning was suggested. I'm not sure the players had the option to remove them first.
ESPN has a columnist whose lone job is to track the history, modern trends, and fashions of uniforms. I'm afraid to look.
