Great start for Miami.

This is the second of three huge games in a row. Dolphins beat the Cowboys, now it's at Baltimore not only for the #1 seed, but if the Dolphins lose this week then a loss to Buffalo in the final game could see the Bills win the division.

 

[NotBanjaxo]

Wow, you don't see Tyreek drop a sure TD very often. Opportunity missed.

 

[NotBanjaxo]

Yikes.

The Ravens are running away with this one at the moment.

Lions got absolutely FUCKED last night.

2 point conversion was successful. Lions win 21-20.
Except the refs said Left Tackle Decker didn't report - despite video evidence of him walking up to the ref before the play.

Lions definitely did some trickery here by having multiple O-Linemen walk up to the ref to create some confusion as to WHO was eligible. Not unusual. About 15 seconds after the conversion - a flag came out for illegal touching.

The ref said that 70 reported. He was the right tackle - and was covered up by the TE, and then another O-Lineman after a shift. So if 70 was eligible, it's an illegal formation.

Don’t play trickery…it means you knew your team didn’t have the ability to win fairly. Go home and think about the failures and weaknesses of your team

Trying to make the opposing defense think you're doing something you aren't happens on something like 90% of offensive plays my man

Totally off topic post here, but during the ad break inm the Dolphins/Ravens game, the Charmin advert I just watched showed the superior wiping ability of their tissue by comparing it side by side to regular tissue - wiping stuff off a guy's forearms.

Who the fuck gets going for a dump so catastrophically wrong that they shit down their own forearms???

Look how much time goes by after Detroit wins the game before a flag gets dropped.

At 12:13 in this video, you can see the ref point to 70 and say "You reported"

Crazy balls on Campbell to go for 2 3x in a row.
Fuck Dallas, man.

Also - Further LOL at the broadcasting crew @ 15:42 saying he wasn't covered by an eligible receiver. If 68 is eligible, he CAN'T be covered up by the receiver directly to his left. That's an illegal formation. How is it YOUR FUCKING JOB to watch football and not know what the fuck you are talking about?

Here's future Cincinnati Bengals HOF Andrew Whitworth correctly shitting all over his fellow announcers for their idiocy:

This is only a rumour at this point, so take it with a grain of salt:

Mark Madden: Kenny Pickett 'refused' to back up Mason Rudolph vs. Seahawks

Mark Madden just opened a whole can of worms that will certainly cause a distraction as the Steelers prepare for the 2023 season finale vs. Ravens.

For all the haters and deniers:

"It is the responsibility of the player to be sure that change in status is clearly communicated to the referee by both a physical signal, with his hands up and down in front of his chest, and to report to the referee his intention to report as an eligible receiver," NFL senior vice president Walt Anderson said in the video.

But two other Lions offensive linemen -- tackles Dan Skipper and Penei Sewell -- also approached Allen in an attempt to confuse the Cowboys on who ultimately would be the eligible receiver. Allen did not appear to acknowledge Decker and instead declared Skipper as eligible. As a result, Decker was ineligible and had committed illegal touching when he caught what would have been a go-ahead two-point conversion with 23 seconds remaining in the game.

Cowboys win!!!!!!!!!!!

Couple of important games today.

PIT @ BAL
Ravens need to beat the Steelers to basically eliminate them from playoff contention, but Lamar isn't going to play because they have the #1 seed locked. As such, PIT is a 3 pt favorite. If Lamar is playing, they are likely 6 point underdogs.

If PIT wins they aren't guaranteed a playoff spot. They still need either a JAX loss, a BUF loss or a HOU/IND tie

HOU @ IND
This is basically a playoff game. Winner is in the playoffs. Loser is eliminated. Houston is favored by 2.
Just looking at the stats, this one doesn't line up too well for IND. They rely heavily on the run, and Houston is excellent at stopping it. On the other side of the ball, Indy typically plays Cover 3, and Stroud absolutely destroys that coverage. He has been very good at finding gaps in zone coverage. Just as he was in college, he is very accurate. I actually like Houston to win this game big. I'm thinking 10+ pts.

 

[NotBanjaxo]

Biggest game tomorrow is the Bills at the Dolphins for the AFC East title.

The road to the Super Bowl for the Dolphins is a win tomorrow, then two home playoff wins whilst hoping whoever plays at the Ravens somehow gets a win.

The Dolphins aren't the best team in the NFL, but can be a problem for anyone, especially at home.

Yeah, that's definitely a big one. And it's prime time, too.
Crazy that the Bills might not make the playoffs if they lose. Unlikely, but that's some high stakes. AFC East Champs or possible couch city.

For the AFC, this just feels like Baltimore's year.

 

[Hauler]

TJ Watt just left the game.
He got leg-whipped by his own guy. Knee.

 

[Hauler]

CJ Stroud is unreal.

Rookie QB
On the road in what is basically a playoff game.

1st play?
75 yard TD pass.

 

[Hauler]

Did I parlay the 2 games today?
I did.

Bet the Under in the PIT/BAL game.
And bumed the spread to 5 on the Texans.

Had it won when Indy failed to convert that 4th down.

And then the Texans took the intentional safety to make the score 23-19

That's a bad beat.

 

[Hauler]

If you are gambling today...

Bad weather in NE
CLE @ CIN game has icky weather. CLE sitting their dudes. CIN season is over.

Good weather everywhere else...
Other teams sitting players for one reason or another...
KC, SF, LAR, PHI, LVR

Best of luck...

 

[Hauler]

The O/U in the NYJ @ NE game is 28.5

Still might take the under. LMAO.

 

[Hauler]

Every team in the AFC North finishes with a winning record.

First time an entire division has done that since 1935.

 

[Hauler]

AJ Brown just left the field with an apparent knee injury. Horrible news for Eagles.

 

[Hauler]

Jalen Hurts has a dislocated figure. Philly fans everywhere right now...
