Dumb move to clock the ball on first down. It wasted a down. Would have only been a few more seconds to get the play called and Dallas D was reeling. 

They had a Time out which never ended up being used I think…

 

 They lost the game though with two terrible late  turnovers ..

I can’t recall a season where this many teams are playing so well leading into the playoffs. All have enough O or D on any given day to get the job done.  Gonna be a wild playoffs.

 

Dallas

Philly

Minn

San Fran

Buf

KC

Cinci

Jax

i love watching players with a feel for the game. he's bright and aware. he's a bit of a throwback really. you'd start hurts over him in this day and age. but i like watching him. 

That last series showed the difference in not having a mobile QB though, those running lanes were wide open and their LB’s/DB’s dropped way back in coverage, Minshew just doesn’t have the mobility to take advantage of that.

Second and third down playcalls were dumb too. They had the timeout still. Throw underneath, get the first down, burn the timeout and have it first and goal with 15 seconds left.

Wow, Maurice Jones Drew is so horrible on the pre game show. He is just an argumentative loudmouth. Mike Rob and Colleen Wolfe are 2 pros just sitting there trying to do their jobs while he interrupts and argues. And he constantly hates on Josh Allen and Buffalo.

Minshew is like Fitzpatrick.

I don’t like MJD or Steve Smith.  Both are annoying.

Hahah patriots. Whatever. Bengals loss today only matters if KC lose one more game, which they likely won't. In that case we could still get the one seed with a loss next week. 

 

Unlikely this ends up changing anything .

 

This is not true. Or it is, if you only care about one seed.

 

But Bengals losing today would be great anyway. We could then lose to them and still be 2nd seed, which has quite a lot of value. If we lose to them next week and end up 3rd, we will likely have to go to both Cincy AND Kansas, which is the worst outcome possible.

Yea I was wrong. Mentioned that in a follow up post. Was only thinking about the one seed and not seeding. A loss would have been nice. O well, just beat em.

Well yes but I was commenting on the last drive. Using the TO then was wrong too. They should have just run a play and not wasted the down.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Did anyone watch this game? Was Mahomes as bad as his sub 40 QBR suggests?

 

he had a nice game by just passer rating alone.

Looking at the standings, jags titans week 18 is for the division, no matter what either team does next week, right?

 

Interesting. Not sure I ever recall a situation like that before. Do they rest starters?

a jags win and titans loss next week gives the divison title to jax

Assuming due to other tiebreakers since the Jags already beat them once?

correct.  Jax has the tiebreaker right now

No it doesn't. If that happened and then titans win the last week, they would have the same record, each won one game vs each other and titans would have better division record.

Right now...they wouldn't if the titans win week 18

Man just checking out the Giants highlights. Isaiah Hodgins seems to be their number 1 receiver already. Bills crapped the bed evaluating that one. 

[dma0034]

Jags/Titan games don't matter next week. Jags win week 18 against the Titans they'll hold tiebreaker due to 2-0 head to head. Titans win they'll hold tiebreaker due to common opponents.
