They stole a home game from us with that bullshit. As terrible as we are this season, we have a large and devoted fanbase and they complained a lot.

Now they mostly take home games from teams no one gives a fuck about, like Tampa and Jacksonville.

Christian McCaffery is the best RB in the league. This isn't up for debate.

Still average 16,000 more fans than the Bengals, whose midwestern fans have fuck else to do

2019 NFL Football Attendance - National Football League - ESPN
There hasn't been anyone down at the games this year in Cincy. LOL @ 73.8% capacity. There's no way it's that high. Apathy has set in.

I'd much rather sit at home and watch the RZ channel and have the Bengals game on the second TV. I think the new coach will eventually turn this organization around, but it will take a couple draft years. He's still dealing with mistakes Marvin Lewis made the last few years - mostly concerning the O-Line which is the hardest area to fix quickly.

Fair catch free kick?
I had to google it. I had never even heard of the rule

The NFL has a little-known rule called the fair catch free kick which allows a team to fair catch a punt and then line up to kick the ball on the next play, without the defense able to rush and block the kick. If the ball goes through the uprights, it’s three points, just like a field goal.

You probably don't see it that often because most punters can kick the ball far enough that the opposing team would be out of field goal range, even if the punter was deep in his own end zone.

That and who the hell would kick a field goal on a first down.

That's why you only see it at the end of a half or the end of regulation.
A free kick can be returned the other way for a TD - so you have to be confident your kicker has the leg to at least clear the endzone.

Looks like there's a lot of games on today. Is it worth making the thread live or is it just a couple rednecks in here usually?

I bet that play confused the fuck out of the London crowd.
"Oh shit! They're kicking it back to them already! What a cheeky move!"

Weeks 4-12 (we're in week 6) have roughly the same number of games every Sunday.

The schedule might be better spread out this week though, with the early London game and more 4 pm EDT games than last week.

I'll let the other posters say whether they want it live. My team sucks.

Dolphins down 17-10 in the waning seconds of the 4Q. Musical chairs QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throws a TD with 10 seconds remaining! The 10,000 fans still in the stadium bc they don't want to deal with traffic are mildly energized when coach Brian Flores holds up two fingers!!!!!!!

That's right, fuck OT, our fanbase needs a win and better road conditions or they're not going anywhere.

Two-point conversion attempt proceeds, Fitzpatrick finds Drake open for a screen, he throws for the potential win!!!!!!!!!!

And Drake drops the ball. Dolphins lose 17-16
