4th and 15….LB gets beat and races down and just runs into the WR that he’s looking right at?????? Just put your arms in the air and don’t run into him. You run into him it’s a 1st down on a penalty 100x out of 100.

Why do those guys never race at them with their arms in the air???? Where do they think the ball is coming from?

It’s the damn dumbest thing.

No one can control and not fight back

Waiting on a false start or something to give Bills a chance

I was wondering why Sean McDermott wasn’t in the COY conversation. That’s why.

Saw a graphic for coach of the year candidates: O’Connell, Quinn, Tomlin, Campbell, Jim Harbaugh. 

Think I’d go O’Connell with Tomlin a close second. Harbaugh would be last of those five, especially if they lose tonight. 

MY COMMENTS ON ALL OF THEM!!!!

O'Connell - having a great season with Darnold as his starting quarterback. I agree that he should be the favorite. They just find ways to win games with a QB who'd been somewhat of a punch line throughout his entire career and have turned that guy into a legitimate starter in the process.

Quinn - in year one with Washington, he's turned them from a perennial joke to a playoff team (barring collapse). But they're more "good" than "great", so I can't see him being tops in this category. Definitely deserves consideration, but can't see him as the top candidate.

Tomlin - they were picked by at least some to be last in the division and currently have a two-game lead with Russ looking like Seattle Russ and nothing like Denver Russ. On the other hand, let's pump the brakes until we see how the Steelers do against their upcoming three-game gauntlet of at Philly, at Baltimore and home K.C. They're 10-3 now and in control, but a rough stretch there could put them into the wild card easily and take some of the praise for his job this year away.

Campbell - Detroit looks like the best team in the league and have done a great job of overcoming a lot of defensive injuries in recent weeks. Difference between him and O'Connell is simply that they were expected to be good and are good; can't say anyone expected that of the Vikings. I mean, if they finish 16-1, I think you'd have to strongly consider him just because 16-1 is great regardless of expectations, but I think some of the other guys have done great jobs with less to work with.

Jim H - well, looks like for once, the Chargers aren't totally underachieving with a talented roster where a person can pen them in for 2-3-4 unexpected losses in games they should have won on a yearly basis. But, like I said, "talented roster", so he's basically gotten a team to achieve around a level where they should be, instead of being below that level.

Deep snap ….few steps back and launch it and expire clock


Block punt dangerous ….just punt it 15 yards and clock might expire

Nice punt….fun crazy game

Josh Allen is insane…Puka Is insane. 

Puka is Troy Polamalu if he was a receiver

Not that it matters because we know who is going to win….

But came someone explain to me the strategy of kicking off into the return zone???? Hoping to kick and play it perfectly and tackle them on the 22?

Just kick it into the end zone and risk nothing and give it on the 30. Pittsburgh has Boswell with a top level leg and they give up return after return to the 35-45 yard line….or he blasts it through or nearly through the goal posts and to the 30. Today Browns returned it way across midfield and next kickoff he kicked it through the posts.

San Diego just ridiculously tried something and KC got the ball on the 40

College kickers diff rules but toasted SMU, Pitt got torched on it several times with a top leg kicker 


Take out the risk of a return!!! No way are the analytics siding with the decision

Your reminder that the chargers haven’t beaten the chiefs since September 2021. Shitty division just rolls over for them year after year.

The AFC west as a whole is and has been, which is what I said. When a team wins it nine straight times, the rest suck.

I know they've won back to back SB's but this year's KC team reminds me of your 2020 Steelers, paper tigers.

Besides luck, I'd add "assistance."

Thing I thought of last night while watching that game: Why wouldn't Reid be on that CotY list? Just because they do seem to be the worst one-loss team at this point of the year in quite some time and when you do nothing but win despite being in super-close games every week, that can often turn into "he's doing an amazing job coaching these guys in tight situations!" talk. Sure, they are defending champs and a lot of people predicted them to be up there, but they also have absorbed some big injuries (Rice, Butker and I think Pacheco just got back after missing time and I know there were a few others) and just keep winning. 

I mean, maybe/probably not winning it, but I'd at least have him above Harbaugh, who, like I said, has a main accomplishment of "at least the Chargers aren't grossly underachieving THIS YEAR!".


Also, we need an Anti-Coach of the Year for the guy who does the least with most. It could be named the Mike McCarthy Award in honor of his tenure at Dallas. Eberflus' "skills" over the end of his Chicago tenure could make it tough for big Mike to hold onto the title, but the way they got their asses kicked in yesterday with the interim guy might get the buzz from "he sucks" to "fuck, the whole organization sucks".
