Around the NFL Week 17

[gonzo1105]

I’m watching on game cast but why wouldn’t the Seahawks boot the kickoff through the end zone with with 2:01 remaining. Pittsburgh then has to run a play and you have two TOs. Seems like a dumb decision by Carroll kicking the onside

[Buffalo03]

F*cking Seahawks. Idiots going for an onside with 2 mins left

[stlbills13]

We're gonna have to beat the dolphins. Which is fine. A team that wants to win a Super Bowl has to be able to win in Miami against a team decimated by injury 

[buffblue]

Why an onside kick in that situation by Seattle? Could've kicked it deep and still got the ball back with reasonable field position and over a minute on the clock

Debatable.

 

But does the point stand? Do they want to see us? Or Mason Rudolph?

 

Being divisional rivals, they may fear the Steelers slightly more than they otherwise would. At the moment, they'd see the Bills as beatable.

 

It's funny how we've been claiming the NFL has been becoming an offense league when, actually, so many teams have been relying on their defense to get themselves into this position.

Could be Saturday night, no?

It’s going to be one or the other 100%. Either Saturday night or Sunday night. But I’m still guessing Sunday. I’d rather have it be Saturday night.

Not a good onside. If you kick that through the endzone, with 2:01 and 2 timeouts, a stop gets you the ball back with enough time to go down and score. Now you lose 40 extra seconds even if you get the stops and get pinned deeper. Unless the clock starts on the kick, I don't remember.

They 100% will.  It's the most intriguing game and it's also guaranteed that neither team's strategy will be changed by prior results.

 

Either that or Houston vs. Indy. That is an actual playoff game. Win and you are in.

 

Bills could clinch a playoff spot before Sunday night. That said: it still would be for the 2 seed. Bills are a popular team so they'll be on

The question is how do the bills beat a good team, the offense really has become awful.

Playing the Miami defense will be a good start toward kick starting our offense.

 

Although, they have improved as the season has gone forward.

So, you go for the onside kick over a 4th and 5 for a TD..

 

I find that kind of odd.

 

atleast the seahawks have a chance to tie it up with a stop

[Scott7975]

That was good fight by Mahomes. They shoulda stopped that.

Dolphins missing Howard Chubb at the least next week. Waddle probably out and mostert is iffy

I don’t know ask the Dallas cowboys 

[stlbills13]

The seahawks got dog walked by Mason Rudolph at home with a playoff spot on the line.

 

The nfc is healthier and still 100x worse than the afc 

[Doc]

Why did Mahomes jump and extend the ball to his right?  Dumb. Luckily he got it the next play. 

[buffblue]

Seahawks defense is an embarrassment. That team should not be in the playoffs but will probably still get in

It'd make sense to have Bills-Dolphins on Saturday night, so it'd have an all-or-nothing vibe. By Sunday night, the Bills could be in whatever happens.

 

Being five hours ahead, Happy New Year from the UK!

held. cinci can still take the lead back

No, you are correct. That was a mind boggling decision by Carroll
