NFL Week 15

So far I think the biggest games were the Jets beating the Seahawks, a huge loss for them, and the Chiefs beating the Broncos, which may keep them out of the wild card.


Exciting game in Detroit right now against the Vikings. 27-28 pending extra point 8 seconds left.

This may be a dumb question...but can two wildcards come out of the same division?

Yes wild card is based entirely on record.

What a premonition.

The extra point is no longer pending. Wow, the Lions really do suck.

I think Harrington has one more season to do something before they give up on him. He may only have 1/2 of next season. They are truly a horrible team though.

Tice is still a moron.

Vikings had ball on 11 yard line; 3rd and 2. 1:40 left in game, Lions NO timeouts.

Here is what a good coach does: He tells the running back that if he breaks for a first down, he needs to get down. Stop running, even if the endzone is makeable. In this spot, Lions cannot stop the clock.

All Vikes have to do is run clock down to 0:05 and kick game winner.

Instead, Vikes score TD and leave time on the clock for their Defense to blow the game.

There was no excuse for that bad coaching. The game should have been locked up, but they had to rely on the Lions to screw up the PAT.

Dumb. Tice should be packing his bags this weekend.

Note: I did not lay the 3 points, so this is not motivated by Vikes not covering. I bet them on the moneyline and also in a teaser.

I think that's insane.
1) A field goal is FAR from a given
2) If you can't stop Joey H. from going the length of the field and scoring a TD with 1:40 and no timeouts, then your team is a piece of sh!t (They didn't, and it is.)
3) If that's what a good coach does, why has that scenario never taken place in the history of the NFL?

1) No kidding; but with Morten Andersen, its pretty close;
2) Exactly. That is why you do what I suggested;
3) A good coach knows that the goal is to win the game. Therefore, you make choices that give your team the best chance. Case in point: Tenn should have won on Monday night. They did not because Fisher went for a FG on 4th and 1 inside the 10 - EVEN though his team had not stopped KC all night. The play was to go for the first down.

So ... in today's game, you have a totally [censored] defense and the Lion's offense had just shown signs of life. You don't give them the ball back.

You run the clock down, and kick the FG.

sounds like you didnt even watch this game

Big game in Green Bay with the Packers hosting the Jaguars.

The Jaguars scored on there opening drive. They are still fighting for the last wild card spot so this is pretty much a must win with Buffalo & The NYJ winning and Denver losing.
