What kind of vile, hateful God does that to Nick Chubb, but leaves Deshaun Watson healthy?
I heard the broadcasters say that they would not show the replay. How graphic was the injury? Knee, right?
Watching it live, it didnt seem too obvious. But I don’t seek out injury videos, so Im not sure how it lookedin replay.
It’s horrific. Don’t go looking. Leg bent in a very unnatural way with a lot of force… May be a career ender, who knows.
That’s definitely a dagger in my already waning enthusiasm for football in general. Nick Chubb is like the least deserving of something like that.
Please next week change the title.
I’ve been praying for Lamar Jackson and Mahomes for years. I left someone out!
Hope they sell all the 24 jerseys out there.
Just think someone breaking an action figure.
It’s the second time that same knee has had a severe injury.
What a weird game. 95 fumbles, sloppy. Good defense that’s stuffing most plays except when a play works it goes for 60 yards. Deshaun Watson’s best play was a block. First half took 4 hours.
I was just thinking this has been a ridiculously slow game. Maybe not 4 hours for a half, but it could be over 4 by the end.
What’s the record for the longest game in real time?
What’s the record for the longest feeling game?
People are saying he purposely intended to injure the knee.twitterworld is piling on the hate for minkah. Good.
That might be first time I’ve seen a personal foul called as the QB runs out of bounds, and the call is on the QB.
Time to avenge the knee here. Give us a long 80-yard touchdown drive to seal the deal for Chubb.
I’m finding it remarkably hard to google the answer to this question. First, all my queries kept returning the most overtime minutes, which doesn’t say anything about how long the game actually took to play.
Even worse, once I finally found something that wasn’t about game minutes but actual real time minutes, it’s not about how long the game actually took to play but how long it took to finish due to weather delays.
There may not be a google-able answer. From personal experience, the longest game I ever recall that wasn’t delayed by externalities was the Monday Night Miracle, but I can’t find what time it ended. I want to say around 1:30am (back when MNF was a 9pm start), but that’s just a guess.
EDIT: Found a cite from the UK of all places, but it doesn’t confirm the end time, only that it took (well over) 4 hours. Buried in the article the mention that the fourth quarter alone took 90 minutes of real time.
Holy christ, I was busy this evening and just checked in to see what the final score is, how the hell is this game still going? Was there a rain delay or something?
I do see all the comments upthread, but it’s not clear to me how this game is still going.
How appropriate that Deshaun Watson gets multiple personal fouls in the game.
I personally think he’s foul.
Cool stat for Giants fans from the Steelers game. T.J. Watt has become the fourth guy to have four sacks and a defensive touchdown through two games:
2023 T.J. Watt, Pit
1998 Michael Strahan, NYG
1990 Lawrence Taylor, NYG
1988 Jacob Green, Sea
Granted they didn’t even start tracking sacks until the 80s, but still, this is a satisfying list.
No significant delays other than 5 minutes to cart off Chubb. There was no good reason for the length other than two inept offenses that couldn’t run, so there were a lot of passes (and incompletions).
I’m all too happy to see him lose and look like a jerk while doing it.
Thanks for that stat adventure. Ended up being not too crazy long at a little over 3.5 hours. But it felt so very long.
There was the weird thing where the first quarter ended, then (after the commercial break) right before the first snap of the 2nd quarter the Steelers challenged the previous play. There was a lengthy review, and they put 22 seconds of the first quarter back on the clock. Then after one running play, we had a second end-of-first-quarter commercial break. It felt like a 15 minute window where only one play was run.
I wasn’t the only one who was upset by a clearly bad call.
Pete Carroll said the league later acknowledged that it was the wrong call. So yes, while you were talking to America, America was saying back that you are out of your mind.
It seems that the officials missed what I’ll admit was clearly holding on the winning play of the game. Unlike the other call, this wasn’t a judgement problem, I’m guessing they just didn’t see it. It happens.
(Though the boneheads who wrote the article for some reason think a touchdown is only worth 3 points, as they write that Seattle won the game 34-31.)
Seattle scored on the drive with the clearly unintentional grounding anyway, so I’m overall fine with everything.
