Dolphins still alive. I’m watching this game and surprised we only beat Miami 35-0. 

 

Tied the game with 2 seconds left! 

 

I trust the Raiders to collapse late under Gruden, but I’d like it to start today with the Dolphins. Don’s need them at 3-0, but I want Miami to suck too. Maybe no OT score and a tie? Just wear them out!

A tie would be excellent.

Blocking a kick off the foot takes effort and skill.  Goaltending doesn't. 

But it is a different game. Rules allows it, don't try the kick if you do not want the defense to have a chance to return it.

I know I should want Miami to win, but watching I just can't find it in me to root for them! :D 

Yep. ***** Miami, and bury the KC Chumps deeper into last place in the AFC West.

Well its ok to block the kick so why would it matter where you block the kick? Honestly didn't know it was a rule. 

 

As I said, goaltending is easy and cheap, requiring little to no skill or effort.  I'm pretty sure back in the day at least one team employed a "be real tall under the goal posts" specialist like a modern team would have a kickoff or return specialist.  Dude couldn't run or really do anything else, but being 7 foot tall and able to hop up and down he could do.

There is literally a rule against goaltending kicks at the goal posts.  Teams used to actually do that.

 

I remember the Chiefs would put a guy back there years ago. I had no idea they put a goaltending rule into the NFL? That seems wrong to me. If you can keep the ball from going thru the goalposts, that’s the idea! It shouldn’t matter where you stop it. It’s more exciting with that option.
