2020 NFL Thread...

I think they did the smart thing. I bet 40 yards for a FG try and 19 seconds is a lot harder than a TD with 1:02 left (it was a 1:05 when Carr kneeled) in today’s NFL. No math or numbers to back that up, but sure seems like it’s true.

Carr also kneeled like he snapped with a running clock and only 3 seconds left.

He could’ve killed 2 more seconds easily but didn’t matter because Raiders (and many other athletes) can’t grasp the understanding of how the clock works. You let no one behind you and you force them to the middle. I’m 46 with plantar and I would kept that guy to under 30 yards and towards midfield where safeties tackle him down and that clock runs like mad....maybe time for a spike and a Hail Mary.

A little before half Steelers have 37 yards of offense...and defense is worn the fuck out from the last few weeks of Ben being the worst QB in football in decisive fashion.

Joe Haden strikes again! The gambler.

It's time to get the Big Ben contingency plan in motion. idgaf if he's committed to next year.

Ben's looking like a beer league softball player trying to step up and get hits off MLB Hall of Famers nowadays. A lot of plays, I get the impression he has no clue where the ball will go when it leaves his hand. Just throw it and hope for the best.

I'd say the silver lining is how there's at least a decent chance they'll back into the division title today, but when it's hard to imagine them winning next week (whether Cleveland has receivers or not) or even being competitive in their playoff game, it doesn't matter.

It’s like he’s lost all mental abilities to be a QB and make throws....it’s baffling.

Has a team ever made the playoffs losing 5 in a row to end the regular season? 4? 3?

The defense is GASSED. Can’t run, bad run scheme, Ben can’t move...or throw....or THINK! Receivers drop a lot and most can’t get open. Kicker out, special team coverage bad.

There are not 5 worse teams in the NFL right now.

T.J. Watt himself might keep them from being THE worst team.

They will be the most rattled team to ever play in the playoffs.....6 quarters to improve or will lose 34-6 in first playoff game

Ben an 11 yard completion...then a 10!

Woohoo!

Lol Atlanta. 

1969 LA Rams w/Roman Gabriel at QB started 11-0 then lost the last 3. Also lost the playoff game.

Woohoo!

NFL is bought off or something.

No rhyme or reason not to throw downfield some the last month...then at 24-7 and after getting stuffed on 4 plays at goal line....then throw it deep and literally never look back.

Though with clock at 2:20 and a first down seals game they run that horse shit wide pass play for 1 yard and punt 🤦🏻‍♂️. Defense was tired....end it there.

The NFL is touching itself with the infinite playoff scenarios.

Can we wire all athletes this way?

JJ Watt speaking the truth. Please watch.

Lambeau Field right now!

Should be fun

Dallas is a win vs the Giants and a Washington loss away from making the playoffs.

And hosting a playoff game (Buccaneers)

Cowboys might go -70 on the season in point differential and host a playoff game against a team that is +130
