  1. Oh boy! Here we go!
  2. You are uninformed as I rarely post about the Loafs in this thread or any other. Ruffled your feathers I see newbie. Have a good night.
  3. How many times do I need to explain? TD wins the game and you play to win. It's not that complicated.
  4. You have no idea what he'll sign. The leafs can't keep everyone and they'll be vulnerable to both Matthews and Marner getting one. Watch out for the Coyotes.
  5. Amari Cooper has done a lot for Dak and the entire offense.
  6. I already answered that they do because they want to score a TD to win the game. Doesn't preclude a defensive stop. Play on!
  7. Of course teams will take the ball in an attempt to score a TD. Defenses still have an opportunity to extend the game by holding the opponent to a FG or forcing a punt. Much ado about nothing IMO.
  8. Can't drive the ball as far in the cold with the ball harder and less carry.
  9. Home field will be huge as you intimate in your post.
  10. He was ridiculous today against the Ravens! He's in the MVP lead. Kansas City Chiefs 27, Baltimore Ravens 24 (OT) 1. You can only keep a Ferrari stuck in traffic for so long. After cruising through the first two quarters, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was stymied for the first three possessions of the second half, getting battered by Baltimore defenders left and right, throwing for just 27 yards after the halftime break. Then Mahomes hit the gas pedal. The play of the game came on a fourth-and-9 with the Chiefs trailing by seven points with 1:29 remaining. Mahomes scrambled away from the rush and tossed across his body to find Tyreek Hill downfield for a 48-yard bomb. The quarterback tossed a touchdown to tie the game and used his arm to set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. Mahomes earned every bit of his 377 yards passing on the day. The QB was clobbered repeatedly by creative Baltimore blitzes, getting hit 15 times (five by Matt Judon) and sacked thrice. Credit the Ravens defense for corralling the Chiefs for long spells of the second half. But when magic was needed, magic is what K.C. got from Mahomes, who several-times weaved around rushers to find streaking receivers. The second-year signal-caller completes throws others can only dream of attempting. Against the league's top-ranked defense, Mahomes proved he could win a playoff-type game. 2. Lamar Jackson continues to make strides as the Ravens starting quarterback. Once again Baltimore's run game dominated for stretches, including an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, all earned on the ground. For the first time since Jackson took over, the Ravens were held under 200 yards rushing, coming up just shy, at 198. The rookie was up-and-down passing, but found strides in the second-half. The run-game keeps Jackson in manageable down and distances. Of his 13 completions, 12 went for first downs or scores. Jackson, who threw two TD passes, has done enough to earn another start when Joe Flacco returns from injury. The Ravens' offense is much more difficult to defend when the rookie starts. However, there will be questions about Jackson's ability to run end-of-game drives. Jackson was strip-sacked by Justin Houston with under 35 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the game tied. Only a Harrison Butker missed field goal gave the Ravens a chance in overtime. Would John Harbaugh have inserted Flacco at the of the game had he been active? Jackson was also injured on Baltimore's final drive. Robert Griffin III entered to throw the final two heaves of the game that went incomplete. Jackson told reporters after the game that a player landed on his ankle, but he's fine. 3. The victory clinches a playoff spot for the Chiefs, who will face the Los Angeles Chargers for AFC West supremacy on Thursday night. With New England's loss Sunday, the 11-2 Chiefs also sit in the catbird seat for the AFC's No. 1 seed. Earning home-field advantage would be huge for K.C. Playing at Arrowhead is a daunting prospect for any opponent. The loss pushes the Ravens into a tie for the AFC's final wild-card spot. At 7-6, Harbaugh's team sits tied with the Dolphins, Colts, and Titans with three weeks to go. The Ravens close out facing the Bucs, Chargers, and Browns, likely needing at least two wins to reach the postseason. -- Kevin Patra
  11. This should be good!
  12. Stop the other team or hold them to a FG.
  13. Steelers lose as Boswell slips on the Oakland Coliseum turf while trying a FG to tie the game.
