Dolphins in the cold and snow, this game is over. Let's see if I eat my words.
General NFL Chat
- Thread starter clarkgriswold
- Start date
Chicago Bears star Keenan Allen indirectly criticized his head coach Matt Eberflus after their loss to the Detroit Lions coming after the team made a mess of their final seconds of the game.
After the game, Allen told reporters: "I feel like we did enough as players to win the game," in quotes that appear damning for the future of Eberflus with rumors swirling throughout the past few weeks that he could be fired at the end of the season.

Eberflus and Williams proving that in some cases two brains are not better than 1 normal brain.

When ya screw up....own it. Admit ya screwed up. Don't try to deflect, blame others...just own up to the mistake and often times that earns you some respect and everyone can move on.

Maybe. Eberflus looked like he had just changed the channel, found the game with 10 seconds left and had no idea what was going on. He certainly compounded things by doubling down.

Apparently Williams tried to call an audible with 12 seconds left.

Yeah, that was a mess to watch. Wonder what he painted on his nails after the game...

His intentions were at least good. He was audibling to a sideline route so a receiver could get out of bounds quickly.

I hold some hope for him. He seems to have more of a grasp of offensive football in the NFL than Fields.

Which wiuida been 31 seconds after the sack.
All the WR had to get.back to the LOS
Call.TO. have 33 seconds. Call a play and have the FG team ready to run on if he doesn't get OOB....
It really was simple and any competent HS coach woulda done a better job...

Buffalo-San Fran: This is going to be a fun game to watch. Poor lineman face planted trying to get out of stance.

In week 14 there are 6 teams in a bye. Detroit & GB are on Thursday night. Dallas & Cincy play Monday night. So just what game(s) do think should have been put on Sunday Night football instead of Chargers @ KC?
KC is a 2X defending Super Bowl champion - they should be on national tv more than most.
They are on constantly, especially at home. And we all know it doesn't all have to do with their Super Bowl status.

That photo will be iconic, at least in Buffalo. Amari Cooper's part being over-shadowed, deserves more talk. Do we know, did Allen call for the pitch or did Cooper just toss it?
The fun part, if I understood what Chris Collins was saying, that play Allen got both a passing and a receiving TD. Though not a "catch." I didn't follow that bit.

Oh come on. NE was on quite a bit during their 15 year run. Dallas was on constantly during their triplet days. Heck Pat Summeral & John Madden referred to Aikman, Smith & Irwin by their first names only.
KC has earned the right to be on national tv. The networks only care about ratings, if someone else could be a bigger draw they would put them on.
In the post game press conference that had BOTH Allen & Cooper at the dais together to talk about that play Allen said he threw a bad pass to Cooper and he was afraid it might get knocked up in the air so he was shading over to make a tackle if it was an INT. Cooper made a great catch and said he locked eyes with Allen and figured why not pitch it. Cooper said Allen was the only QB he ever played with he would have done that with.
As an aside, after the Chiefs win, Cooper said that this was the first time in a long time that he actually felt joy after a win.

Yup, an iconic picture for sure. What a play by a 1-of-a-kind QB. Thank God my Browns did not draft him. He would have been ruined.

I don’t even think I’m a homer for saying this play was better. Simply incredible play.
Full Clip in the link.
What do you mean? He would have been under the tutelage of the offensive " genius" Hue Jackson.

Too young to know who Tim Tebow is? You'll find dozens of those. But don't let me dampen the spirit. It was a nice play in a losing effort.

Refering to the Chiefs game ot to this San Fran game? This San Fran game was the first time in a long time I felt joy watching a game that didn't have a team of interest to me. As soon as I heard "snow," I knew it wouldn't disappoint.
