Minshew sucks and is super annoying. Glad the Colts lost.

Puzzling play call with game on line for Colts. Guy could have easily caught, but Steichen (sp?) Outsmarted himself. Run the ball!

Good for Texans. I like that team, lots to root for.

You mean the team where the management set up a hotel and provided NDAs to protect the players for "massages"? And were all aware of what was happening? Hilarious how we side with the white owners over the black athletes.

hard to root for irsay’s colts either. I don’t love the teams but they each have players I like.

are there really ANY owners we can root for???? probably….tell me who’s “good”…

That final drive was brutal to watch. They bled the clock so they only had the one chance, no urgency. Always attack and throw in that situation so you have the opportunity for 2 late drives.

completely disagree. colts had that game won…they just fucked it up.

If you're trailing by 6, in no way do you "have the game won". They needed to show urgency on that last drive. Their failure to do so left them with 1 second after the safety to try a miracle lateral play. Better clock management and proper use of their first timeout (another brutal move, letting the play clock wind all the way down then using it on 4th down) and they at least get one more drive with maybe 1.5-2 minutes or so to operate.
Steichen was playing to score with very little time left for Stroud to answer, problem is that strategy only works if, well, you score. Better to go quicker and give yourself time for another attempt to score. If you score with 3 minutes left, then let your defense do its job. He outsmarted himself.

Agree. The Colts got too cheeky in trying to score on the last play of the game. It left them in a pickle.

Wait, are we acknowledging that something was wrong with Watson?

Your point is in part a good one, minus race and the way you root for Watson now, and I should carry animosity toward the Texans for enabling that scumbag
They did get rid of his grubby ass, and hire an awesome coach, and hit the jackpot with their qb selection.

I don't rank the Houston owners in the bottom of the barrel but I will consider that in how I view them. I can root for the players and coaches that I like, though, and keep that in the equation

My statement has nothing to do with race - that is just witless.

Puzzling play call? They had the first down, possibly aTD with HOU’s inability to tackle. That one’s on Minshew and Goodson.

Yes, you could take that and it is tough to argue.
The reason I was puzzled was because of how good their RB was and how they could seem to gain a yard with him vs. Going with a pass in a somewhat shaky passing game.

You are right though....the qb could have passed better...and the RB 100% should have caught that.

Hindsight is 20/20. I still disagree. What if they score, go up by one and Houston only needs a FG? This isn’t a hill I’ll die for but I thought the strategy was sound.

I agree with you, although I can certainly see the other point. I just would have not taken Taylor off the field. Even if you want to pass you need the defense to fear the Taylor run for one yard. He left the field and everyone knew it was a pass. (Although the RB was still open!)

and, obviously poncier, I’ve seen a lot more football than you. Like, leather helmet football.

My statement has nothing to do with race - that is just witless.

I'm just pointing out the facts. The owner is white, the player is black. You like the organization that enabled the really bad (not criminal) behavior. There was no "wit" intended so I don't know WTF that snide comment was about.

I'm also pointing out that there are those here who hate the Browns for signing Watson when their own rooting interest signed players who actually committed violent crimes. But those are okay.

I'm also curious what happened to second chances, grace, reform. Evidently we don't believe in that when we don't like the team.

And FTR, I don't "like" Watson, but to think I'm going to disown the team I've loved since birth is absurd. Clearly you didn't hate the Niners even after their signing decisions so presumably you can understand that, right?

I’ll take your word for it. Clark looks a lot like Jimmy Carter.

Not going to waste more time rehashing the same argument, especially when the person making the argument admitted in the past that some of the points are made to play devils advocate.
We are not going to agree on this.

Entertaining day, despite many of the games being essentially pre-season games.
Wild that if Miami wins they get to play Buffalo again next week.

Bears fans....
Trade #1 and #9 and load up on picks for 2024, reshape the roster.
(Suggest getting rid of existing gm first?)

What do you guys think?

so, there’s a WC game that is ONLY on peacock? WTF?

I guess the worst game is bucs/eagles?

Yeah, I think they are the two teams that the other teams wanted to play in round 1, and they are playing one another.
Who knows....either team could beat the other teams but looked crap today.

Wobbie · January 8

they’re putting the chiefs on peacock.

did taylor have something to do with this?

F Me In The Brain · January 8

Fuck, I missed all that while texting at halftime.
Hopefully the login I used previously for the Peacock game works for playoffs.

F Me In The Brain · January 8

Eagles / Bucs get screwed with the Monday game - this would leave them with a day less of rest, wouldnt it? Especially since they could be going to SF, who has the bye. Seems wrong.
Should have put Cowboys on Monday.

my first thought about fins/chiefs is that andy reid weighs about two mike mcdaniels.

MayDay10 · January 8

McDaniel looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole and die after that game.

The bills tried to hand them the game countless times and they still can't beat allen

Glorified KC · January 8

KC on Peacock exclusively and I don’t have Peacock here in Wisconsin. Looks like I’ll be a temporary subscriber.

Shit Mahomes probably weighs 1.5 McDaniels.
