I have a McGahee one

Well holding (illegal contact) is five yards and ten not first and goal but I thought it was an ok no call
overall I thought it was a well officiated game

He will be in surgery within two weeks. If not, then it will be one hell of a story.
If he has surgery the rams need five held accountable for not properly identifying the injury and playing with the injury report
I think though it was obvious from week16 on for the normal football fan he was hot the same guy but teams are still suppose to disclose Injuries

He had 3 weeks off, looked fine against Dallas and then essentially didn't play against NO. So either he's still hurt/reinjured himself v Dallas, or he was just benched against NO after the slow start (which would be really weird).
Heard he has a muniscus issue and seems it still limited him in tonight’s game

Gurley will be the big question mark. If Gurley plays and is healthy then I think the Rams have a chance. If its similar to the Saints and Gurley is around ten touches for the game Anderson will not be able to carry the Rams.
I'm going to say Gurley is still dealing with the knee injury and this is the difference in the game.
Pats win 35-24

1 Bills vs Giants
2 Steelers vs Cardinals
3 Pats vs Falcons
4 Pats vs Eagles
5 Titans vs Rams

the bills are more than overdue

I'm cherry picking data? Come on. The data is exactly as I've shown it: 67 percent of the time, the coin flip winner wins the game, and 43 percent of the time he does it in a first round knockout in a quarter that's ostensibly 15 minutes. I'm doing the opposite of cherry picking here. You don't offer any evidence yourself except cliches about "stopping them on D."
nine of the 21 teams winning the coin flip won on the first possession that is it........... by you adding they eventually won you are inflating the numbers
so yeah your cherry picking

f those playoff OT games both teams had an opportunity to score and defenses actually prevented them form doing so. its not total possessions it does a team have the chance to score in OT and since both teams did possess the ball they both had opportunities to win.
Again they also had 60m to in the chiefs game score some pts in the first half case closed. Stop three third and long situation's case closed
Stop cherry picking data to try to say OT is flawed its fine

OK, here goes. This is for the postseason only because I want to focus on good teams, and just for games in the past 25 years, going back to the 1994 season (i can't find game logs from 1995 and earlier). I've bolded the winners who got the ball first and won, and bolded and underlined the teams that got the ball first and scored on the opening drive.
1998 -ATL/MN: Minnesota gets ball first but ATL eventually wins.
2000: Miami/Indy: Miami gets ball first, but doesn't score; Indy misses a FG; Miami then scores and wins.
2001: NE/Oakland: NE gets ball first and scores; wins on first possession.
2002: TN/Pitts: TN gets ball first and scores; wins on first possession.
2003 - GB/SEA: Seattle gets ball first, but GB wins.
2003: Carolina/STL: Carolina gets ball first but doesn't score; eventually wins in double OT
2003: GB/Philly: Philly gets ball first but doesn't score; eventually wins on second possession after a Favre INT.
2004 - SD/Jets; SD gets ball first; but Jets win (SD misses a FG on their second possession).
2006 - Chi/Seattle: Seattle gets ball first but doesn't score; Bears win.
2007 - GB/NYG: Packers get ball first but turn it over; Giants win.
2008 - SD/Colts: SD gets ball first; scores on first drive and wins.
2009 - GB/AZ: GB gets ball first; strip sacked fumble return TD for AZ; AZ wins
2009: NO/MN: Saints get ball first and score on first drive; win.
2011 - Den/Pitt: Den gets ball first; score on first play from scrimmage and win.
2011 - NYG/SF: Giants get ball first but don't score; they do eventually win, however.
2012: Den/Bal: Ravens get ball first but don't score; eventually win in double OT.
2014: Seattle/GB: Seahawks get ball first and score on opening possession to win.
2015: AZ/GB: Arizona gets the ball first and scores on first possession; wins.
2016 - NE/ATL: NE gets ball first and scores on opening drive to win.
2018: NE/KC: NE gets ball first and scores on opening drive to win.
2018: NO/LA: NO gets ball first but LA wins.

My takeaways:
1) In four of the last five postseason games, the team that won the toss scored on their first possession. There's a trend going on of late. Perhaps it's a function of the recent rule changes that favor the offense?
2) The overall record of teams that get the ball first is 14-7. This is important because by starting first and going last, it means they get an extra possession -- always one more than their opponent. In the last 9 OT playoff games, 8 of the teams that received the ball first won.
3) In 9 out of 21 games, the team that won the toss won on their first possession alone. That is a REALLY high rate.
you should not include the team that won the coin but won after their first possession . you guys are trying to point that the OT rules are flawed those scenarios would say they are not flawed that defense did the job and both teams possessed the ball
5 of the last nine have won if they won the coin toss quite a statically diff then 8 of 9
and only 9 of those 21 games the team winning the coin flip won on the opening possession again showing the current OT rules are fine.

There was no differrence in the game at the end of regulation in case you missed it...
What don't you get with football you stop the other team and you score points......this saints stupidity to change the OT rule the chiefs oh Mahomes didn't get his chance.
BS they had there chance in the game to make the difference too many whiners in life that complain life isn't fair well the system isn't rigged against you it's rigged against those that say it doesn't fit there free loving style sorry buttercup look in the mirror own up and don't blame a freaking coin flip for why you lost
-
I'm fine with keeping him...the Bills hav a ton of work to do on the line potentially trying to find two guards and a RT
Replacing three guys vs four guys seems a bit better to me. you can still grab one of the C's in the draft later/.

Probably one of the most dumb founding things to me to watch thee players that have been playing for so many years make the easy mental error mistakes. there are few of them they heard coaches continually reminding them on plays watch the ball know the snap count DONT line up offside and it is amazing that certain players have issues recalling this.
IIRC I think I read he had lined up 4 times offside this year, ughhh
-
I think it is fine the way it is the Rams proved exactly what you do when you lose the coin flip you go out play defense get a turnover or stop the other teams offense and then score....all fundamentals of winning football. Stop the other team and score points.
How many 3rd and longs did that pathetic chiefs defense allow on that OT drive ...three if I recall correctly 3rd and 7...3rd and 9...3rd and ten....
Why reward a team that obviously is not good enough to stop the opposing team from going 75yrds and scoring a TD.
7 hours ago, Figster said:I'm not sure you can call the Pats the team with the better D in a tie football game.
Better or more lucky?
I agree on why most folks are angry.
The pats Defensively were the better team in the first half when they didn't let the chiefs score one pt. .......that is the difference in this game not the OT....people never want to place the blame where it truly is and instead divert to something more meaningless.

Rams linebackers are bad
rams play zone brady eats zone defense alive
i will give them a they are good in the defensive line but then the chiefs who either led the league or were tied in sacks dis t sack Brady once and was not presseured a while lot for most of the night
on offense for the rams this knee issue for Gurley is gonna end up finally catching up to them and the pats with Billie boy w two weeks to come up w a defensive strategy I’ll give the edge to the hood
Prove me wrong please rams

Chiefs should work on coverage instead of their funky dancing on incompletions
It was the safeties w no support playing way to deep when the obvious targets were Edelman and gronk horrible

Safeties were horrid on them
