Absolutely incomplete -- not even a question if they had challenged it, it was a pretty obvious drop. Smith completely shielded the Ref on the spot and the Defensive guy so not really his fault he couldn't see it, but the way the Eagles reacted, it should have raised red flags in the 49er...

49ers getting no breaks at all in Q1. Now to their 4th QB -- is there even a 3rd QB on the roster today just in case Johnson takes another hit like the 1st one. I'm actually a little surprised that wasn't called a Roughing penalty the way things have been called this season -- either a...

Honestly I suspect the rusher was 100% sure Prescott was going to throw the ball Out of Bounds and was scared of a Late Hit call. He appeared to as shocked as I was when Dak didn't throw the ball.

That's the IF. 3 time outs and 2 minute stop still allows the same discussion. If SF gets a couple 1st downs the it's just a thought experiment anyway. I'm going for 2 regardless if I score with less than 20 seconds to go even if my kicker was 100 for 100 Dallas TE Schultz with 2 separate...

1st guessing time. Dallas down 7 and under 3 minutes. IF Dallas somehow scored a TD -- do you as Dallas Coach go for 2 point conversion?

I think he would have if he'd caught the ball on the 3rd bounce, but I suspect the defender was looking at the ball up for grabs and Kittle reached out of the last second and not only secured the ball but yanked it back 2 feet into his chest at the last split second. Not only protected the...

George Lynn Kittle shows up big -- don't see too many 4 bump receptions

You watch thousands of games in a lifetime and still keep seeing things that have never happened before. 4 missed extra points by a single kicker (or team as best as I can tell) in a single game is an NFL record at least since 1960 (pre 1960 the stats seem to be a bit incomplete on the...

Watching the Packers game last night was interesting and brought back some memories of long ago and how Football used to be played (not good memories). The play near the end of the game with Deondre Swift (RB from UGA). Honestly the more I watch the sequence I think it may be one of the...

And to add insult to injury as a non-bettor I get a kick out of seeing stuff like the end of the Jets- Miami game Miami favored by 4 and up by 3 until the Jets start the lateral play on the very last play of the game that ends in a Safety and 5 point spread of all things and massive numbers...

Money from the ticket sales, but it may also cut into sales of Team Related Merch and obviously decreases the chances of building a fanatical $$ throwing fanbase. Of course having a franchise that's seemingly moved a dozen times in 40 years somewhat alienating what seems still to be their most...

I think the Ravens (or at least their fans) would think they're negatively affected? If the Bills beat the Bengals then the Ravens play the Bengals for the Division Championship on Sunday. 3 seed and Home Field Advantage in at least Game 1 vs 5th/6th seed and on the road for the playoffs I...

If they decided to not play the game, it essentially would work as a tie anyway whether it's officially declared such or not I hadn't realized Buffalo had returned home, but that last post wipes out most of those possibilities anyway If they move everything back a week, then that leaves...

If they can play tonight then it's no different than a Sunday - Thursday game. I think that would be the hope for everyone. Bills and Bengals both currently scheduled for Sunday games this weekend. If they play tomorrow it possible they could do a Wed- Monday though that might mean...

I can think of a few other things that could show up similarly --1) various kinds of clots that can cause sudden blockages in the Coronary Arteries leading to a massive heart attack, 2) clots thrown to the brain or lungs that can cause sudden death, 3) various ruptured large blood vessels in the...

Hate to speculate, but I'll do it anyway. There is an uncommon though far from rare condition which often causes very bad events during extreme exercise called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (sometimes just listed as an enlarged heart). For Basketball fans -- Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis had...

Nothing, but we've not had a College Thread here in awhile (a decade maybe) so this just turns into a general interest Football thread when it's not Sunday. 8-9 pm it will go back to Pro Games 2 more great last second wins today and LSU just destroys Purdue Miss St wins in a beyond boring...

I'm more surprised that Brees didn't do it moreso than Favre. Green Bay always had a big running game support to plan for those frigid late season game so I never associated him with a ton of pass attempts every game -- looks like 360 completion in a year was his high. Brees had several...

What a day of football -- 2 great playoff games GA escapes Ohio St TCU outplays Michigan across the board and MI still nearly survived. I had 2 inherited dogs via immediate family alma maters in the fight, but now down to one. At least that makes who to root for next game easier than last...

During the game last night it seems someone said Wilson had 160M guaranteed -- not sure if that included 2022 salary or remaining, but it's a significant amt.

Since I can't find a College Football thread, figured this might be the most simple place to put this. Unique game if nothing else Chase Cunningham QB (5th year SR and starting QB most of the last 1.5 seasons) for MTSU had -91 yds Rushing on 9 carries in his bowl game against SD State a...

Dogs and Cats living together -- I know nothing anymore about Football NO (southern dome team) goes to Cleveland in 5 degree weather and wins. Red Hot Lions with great defense go to Carolina and get literally run off the field (Panthers with their all time record 330 yd rushing)...

The 1978 play I think was 20 seconds left so last play of the game. If interviews with players afterwards (after the game and years later) are to be believed both Pisarcik and Csonka vehemently objected to the handoff call at the time and tried to get the coaches to change to the safer...

New betting line -- Over/Under of the $$ value of the fines Ron Rivera will have to pay after he does his post game interviews -- or at least the pre-Cancer survivor Rivera would be ripping officials nonstop for hrs I'm not sure I've seen a game with one team on the wrong side of virtually...

IMO the 1978 version tops today's b/c it turned a 99.999999999% win into a loss for absolutely no chance at a gain. At least today's turned overtime (so still roughly 50% win) into a Loss and at least in theory had some upside possibility however unlikely as it might be. Leon Lett's...

How is it the the VIKINGS always end up these 4th quarter dogfights. It seems like for years they're always playing the same game. 11-3 with a +2 point differential for the season -- that's almost impossible and identical point diff as Detroit's 6-7 team

Think maybe if they'd called a few more Quick Screens to the WR they'd won? What was it in the 2nd half -- 8 or 10 times for 10 yds Matt Ryan now become the anti Frank Reich who not only had the 32 point Buffalo comeback, but a 31 point comeback in college -- coming off the bench in the 2nd...

What an absolutely absurd game. Viking, Colts, and Referees all have awful overall performances. Colts with 7 possessions and 13 minutes of play clock in the 2nd Half which is nearly impossible and all they had to do was run 3 minutes of clock with each possession to win the game.

Pretty much the one thing I've learned to assume - non contact injuries on a sharp cut/sudden change direction are ACL until proven otherwise unless I see an ankle roll over. Hamstring and Achilles just tend to look different and tend to happen on different moves The first time I remember...

Never was much a fan of his mainly due to Bounty-gate. Say what you will about the Astros cheating, Deflate-gate, Spy-gate, or even betting on your own team to win, for me the New Orleans situation was 1000 times worse and should have resulted in lifetime bans for several of the head people...
