After 25 years I still can’t figure out football. The broncos let up 70 points to the dolphins and then held the chiefs to 9 points 

It's what makes the nfl such a behemoth in the sports world

So……..who do we want?

 

 

Quite honestly, all scenarios aside, I cannot bring myself to root for Miami.  Ever.

 

You think their fans are full of it now, if they beat the Chiefs it's gonna go to a whole new level.  Chiefs fans won't change, win or lose.

[Steptide]

There's Edmunds, running to the end of the play

[BuffaloBillyG]

A flea flicker TE screen? Weird 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I want to see something gimmicky like that at SOME point soon 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Ekler makes Herbert’s life so easy. Every dump down is like 8+ yards.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Gosh man it’s so nice to have that in your offense. Here take this…..run run run run run run run TD.

[SCBills]

Herbert just had a scoring drive consisting of only screens and check downs.  
 

I just can’t respect anything about the way they run their offense.

if you bet on point totals of Jets/Giants, you were clearing seeking punishment.

I didn't bet the game but I had a lot more punishment-I went to the game.  It rained all game, I got soaked and the game was too close to leave and then they tortured us with overtime.  2 of the worst QBing I've seen and I've seen Gary Marangi's Bills days & the Nathan Peterman's LA Chargers game.  I had to take a hot shower after the game and get into some dry clothes-it's a good thing I'm staying in NJ and didn't have to drive back to Albany.  I had a rain pancho and a vinyl exterior coat & that didn't help.

The announcers wake up 15 minutes after the play

[SCBills]

SHOCKING

 

Refs dramatically alter the game with their incessant awfulness

 

I am so surprised

Glad you're back safe and sound and all warmed up.  God bless you for enduring that horror.

The Bills now control their own destiny against the Chiefs (as well as Dolphins and Bengals). Just win.

they will beat all of those teams but then lose to a bad team and ruin it for themselves in typical bills fashion 

[Steptide]

Weird how both teams only have 2 wins, but I feel like the Chargers are such a better team

Still bad to me. I watched the Dolphins/Pats game and just couldn’t believe Bills made Mac Jones looked like a competent qb. He really isn’t at all. 

 

NE had a good plan and we got off to a really bad/slow start with the pick on the very first offensive posession.

 

Dorsey needs to stop overthinking goal line scenarios and get away from gun down there when it is a few feet or inches to go.

 

McD was leaning into Williams at LB and Darth Hoody took the rookie to school which opened things up for Mac in the middle. That is why he got benched that game.

 

He is a rook and needs more time to bake, more reps sprinkled in to learn his assignments in this defense.

 

You see them using Dodson a bit more on early or short yardage downs for his experience and what he does well - defending the run. They are using Poyer in the LB role on down and distance - passing downs with Rapp backing his S role.

 

This is the bandaid solution they have for the experienced read and react loss of Milano

Officiating is absolutely terrible, and the league covers for it at every juncture. I hate when they bring the retired refs on the broadcast to agree with whatever ludicrous decision the officials just made.

NFL gets the networks to pay the salaries of lackeys. Win/win

[mannc]

Bears apparently will not be getting any break’s tonight

The refs are liking the Chargers so far 

[TheFunPolice]

Refs just took 3+ points off the board for the Bears then threw flags against them nearly every play

Questionable flags too
