Dolphins could be up 17-3

So 9-3

Did Waddle just taunt the ref? Lol

Will you have to fill out an application to see if you're eligible to buy it, or will they just take your money?

When did it hit the ground?

Everything the Dolphins do is strange... 2 OC... Musical QB...

I thought I did until that NE TB game.

how does signing OBJ cost them much of anything? I don't get it. He's basically bargain bin price right now.

Anybody but Brady and any team but Tampa. I want a non-Brady Super Bowl that I can just enjoy.

Tyreek Hill must run 2000 yards a game... It's like every play he just runs down the field, comes back and does it again and again...

So who wins this? Aside from the Bills making it, I would be down for watching Belichick humiliate Brady in the Super Bowl, complete with Brady sitting on the bench in tears with multiple close ups of his face while the commentators say how Bill was the reason for the dynasty and this, along with the 19-17 game where Brady didn't throw a TD, proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt now. 2 games vs Belichick, 0 total touchdowns, and 3 INT in the Super Bowl, 2 for pick 6's while the Bucs lose 45-0 would be an OK second place.

This makes me think Allen is probably vaccinated given that he doesn't wear a mask and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

Pat McAfee is a genius when it comes to sports talk

enough with the "slimming down" stuff that this team seems fascinated with.... Feliciano was pretty good... a physical mauler type with a mean streak. So he loses 20 pounds and becomes a weaker version of himself. BUT HE'S MORE FLEXIBLE! Yay BTW, he's out multiple weeks with a muscle injury anyway. Dawkins getting Covid really messed him up, and you can tell he's still not right out there.

I don't want to hear anything from NE fans about it being a clean play... You guys had your chance when Brady decided to "run" and a guy the size of a freaking refrigerator was there to lay a crushing blow into him that would have made the Rodgers meme (his face when Jordan Phillips pancaked him in the Arizona game) look tame. Instead he flailed his arms a bit and Brady fell over with that goofy look on his face, knowing that for an act of mercy he would have been on the IR.

As much as Atlanta blew that Super Bowl, let us not forget that they had the ball on the NE 21 with around 2:30 to go and up 8. What happened? HOLDING to push them back past the 30. Without that holding call Atlanta still wins that Super Bowl and Tommy doesn't complete the comeback. Now, players still have to make plays, but by essentially ending Atlanta's hope of scoring (all they needed was an insurance FG to go up 11 and it's game over) they gave NE a chance.

Think of it this way: Pretend you were a corrupt ref who wanted to influence the outcome of an NFL game. How easy would it be, assuming the teams are playing roughly even? You could just pick 2 spots, 1 for each team. If I want team A to win: Hit Team B with a defensive pass interference either in or near the end zone, preferably on a deep ball, and preferably somewhat early on in the game so it's not going to get the same level of scrutiny. Worst case scenario the commentators say "golly, I don't see it there but who knows anymore?!" and the game goes right on. Likely there's SOME contact so you have deniability. You saw it in the moment, fast moving game, etc. Then, hit Team B with an offensive holding or hands to the face, preferably on a 3rd down and 10 play that negates a first down somewhere and makes it 3rd down and 20, especially if Team B is deeper in their own end. This almost assures that they run a draw and punt. By doing just that, you've essentially gifted Team A 7 points and killed a drive for Team B, when there are only so many per half. In a close game, that's enormous.

Football is such a game of inches and single plays that it lends itself perfectly (not to fixing, exactly) but to timely calls to influence an outcome one way or another. Sure, in basketball you can call fouls, travelling, etc. but each team gets so many chances that unless it's in a key last minute moment you can always make it up. In football there are so few games and so few possessions, really. A 10 yard holding call to negate a big run can totally kill a drive and flip field position as well. Between illegal contact, holding (either OL or DB) and now taunting, you can almost throw on any given play and make a reasonable case for it. Pass interference can basically give the offense points, especially since it usually happens on a deep ball. Just one call in a football game leads to so many other circumstances, which makes the sport unique. Team A has the ball 1st and 10 at Team B's 40 yard line. Team A runs for 21 to the 19! HOLDING! Instead of 1st and 10 and the 19, it's 1st and 20 at the 50. Now, Team A is more likely to call totally different plays, maybe dropping back to pass more, which opens up the chances for a sack, fumble, INT. So it's not directly "scripting" but a call here and there can really change a football game in a way that it wouldn't in hockey, baseball, or basketball. And if you're playing Tommy Brady in a game that really matters? LOL Expect ZERO holding calls on Tommy's team and many on yours.

90s Bills really should have won 2 rings: Giants and 2nd Dallas game

Taunting penalty is how the refs will ensure a Brady Super Bowl. This officiating is criminal. Someone had money on Jacksonville and Pittsburgh

Steelers look so slow and old

Big Ben looks 65 years old...

More proof that Belichick is great: he found a way to win in the NFL with an Alabama QB

I still think the Bills win the division, but I'm a lot more worried today than I was before. That's OK. Win the East and you're in the tournament. From there it's anyone's ball game.

AFC playoffs are going to be very interesting... I could see anyone who makes it getting to the Super Bowl. Whoever is #7 will come in red hot, having won a bunch of games to get there, and the Chiefs are bad. then it becomes anyone's game. Just please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, no more tom Brady Super Bowls. It's enough already!
