"More Diss" - America's favorite Dystopian pastime 2022-2023

A 64 yard FG vs picking up a 4th and 5 with plenty of time and three timeouts.

Ffs Russell coulda scrambled for it

Denver trying to smother that Russell Wilson magic in the crib

love him using those last two timeouts just in case geno fumbles the kneel-down

I’d say that I’m flabbergasted at the clock mismanagement at the end of that game, but it happens so often anymore that I’m just kind of numb to it. Why are NFL teams so bad at this???

i don’t think it was clock mismanagement— if you honestly believe having your kicker make the second-longest kick in nfl history is more likely than russell wilson picking up five yards, then letting the clock wind down to 20 seconds is the right move. it’s the first part that’s the problem

No, no, this wasn't mismanagement, this shit was by design. Hackett seemed to think this was a brilliant plan, sneaking McManus onto the field after the timeout and freaking Carroll the fuck out for a moment.

A head coach of an NFL team thought a kick whose length is two yards off of the all time record had better odds than picking up five yards with a $242 million dollar QB has a job.

Xpost lol mookie otm

How the fuck did we manage to say the same thing simultaneously lol

At least when Lane Kiffin did it he was trolling

I had to double check to make sure the game wasn't being played in Denver

Broncos must have been using the Andy Reid Clock Management Manual.

BILLS imo

I actually saw a pair of dummies 'defending' the decision, suggesting that they may have picked up the first down, but it still might have left them with a 50+ yard FG, and it's like....moving the ball down the field wasn't Denver's problem on Monday, it was actually punching it into the end zone. and they had three timeouts!

it's a coaching decision much like the time Nick Saban threw a challenge flag on the field, which no ref looked at or saw as they were awaiting the snap, and instead of either clicking the electronic notification button to get their attention, or actually trying to get any refs attention, he just did nothing and the play went on with no challenge.

Xpost the difference between a 55 yard field goal attempt and a 64 yard attempt is huge!

yeah I don't know the numbers exactly but I think those 52-56 yard FGs are like a 50/50 proposition whereas what the Broncos was trying to do would literally need to break an all-time record. I think there's only a couple kickers in the league who can even hit that distance in warmups. though I suppose it's possible that McManus could actually hit those in Denver.

I saw in an article about the call that only two 64 yard FGs have been made in the history of the NFL

sheesh, can't believe I forgot about Justin Tucker's 66-yard game winner last year already. suppose I just filed that away in the "things that could only happen to Detroit" drawer in my head. Tucker is a god among kickers though.

the other one was Prater's 64 yarder, but that was in Denver. I wonder if he could've hit that elsewhere.

mcmanus is 0-7 in field goals longer than 62 years in his career

lol yeah seriously. I mean the Browns kicker hit a 58 yarder on Sunday, but he wouldn't have made it from 64.

i always feel like the decision is one of those 'instant gratification' things that sometimes flummoxes new coaches, like. "hmm - i could try for first down here, but we'd need to run a few more plays before we could kick to win, and who knows, maybe we fumble. or shit, I could just kick RIGHT NOW, no waiting needed! yeah, it's gonna be hard, but if we make it we win, and oh will the fans love me"

*almost feel

Not even the Chiefs and Chargers, two of the highest scoring offenses in the league, are immune to Thursday Night Football Syndrome. I should just put $100 on the under for every Thursday night game from now until the end of the season.

amazing Mike Williams touchdown catch

did you, assuming you are neither chargers nor chieves fans, watch this?

if so, was the august presence of al michaels part of the reason you tuned in?

just curious

I'm literally crying rn

Tua.

U did it

Fuckin’ Browns. Chubb just kneel at the one, dude.

wow tua
wow flacco
rip trey

rip colts

j-e-t-s come away with their first september win since todd bowles was coach

I was watching my DVR recording of NFL Matchup this morning, I was thinking that Miami and B-more game would be the one to watch (and of course we did not have it as a local game).

I guess they can shut up for a week or so about Tua's arm strength not being good enough.

Kliff Kingsbury kinda reminds me a bit of Thomas Middleditch.

The Steelers and Pats game looked like a game from the 80s. I kinda dug it. I slept through about half of it.

Minkah Fitzpatrick is an amazing player. He played out of his mind against Cincy too.

Really don't understand why he didn't work out in Miami. We expected big things, coach didn't really use him right, but he always showed he was capable of being a big game corner

Glad he's doing it somewhere

browns were so close to being 2-0 for the first time since . . . *1993*

on the broadcast they did the "last time the Browns started 2-0" montage and I think most fans knew at that moment what was gonna happen next

Fuckin’ Browns. Chubb just kneel at the one, dude.

sure but maybe a bit unreasonable to expect him to think to do this given they were already up 7, with less than 2 minutes on the clock and no timeouts for the Jets. that's an impossible situation to come back from! like on par with fumbling a kneeldown and having it ran back for a touchdown! granted the odds do go up when you just decide not to cover the deep WR at all, when Flacco hit Corey Davis there was literally nobody else on screen with him when the camera panned over. I don't really believe in firing a guy for fucking up one play but I'd make an exception in this case.

the guy who blew the coverage was pro bowler denzel ward (well, probably the safety who was supposed to provide deep cover)

absolutley amazing Browns meltdown

elf looking good at midfield tho

why only have one safety there though, literally the only way they can win is to throw deep

I'm finding it amusing that actual Dolphins fans are still doubling down on Tua sucking after that.

"well he has two of the best receivers in the NFL" my favorite one. I seem to recall a HOF Dolphins QB having two of the best receivers in the league to throw to, can't recall his name.

also the Bengals look positively dire right now, their offense just isn't there.

yeah I dont get where that comes from, maybe he's not immediately lighting the league on fire like Burrow or Lamar but in a more traditional sense he's kinda exactly where you want a 3rd year QB to be. it does suck though that after watching the Patriots dynasty absolutely dominate that division for two decades it now looks like the Bills will be a juggernaut for the foreseeable future

I mean I understood the concerns at least before he threw 6 TDs yesterday.

i still dont' think Miami's ready to unseat Buffalo though. Buffalo is the byproduct of years of building and if they don't win it all this year, i'm not sure what it will take. they seem built for it.

the oddsmakers seem to agree with you on that, they're at +450 vs. the Bucs and Chiefs at +700. pretty big drop off after that.

Josh Allen has faked out the camera crew 3 times already

Whoever does those bizarre computer animations for MNF is the real MVP. Never fails to get a “what the fuck” from me

Oh my god Jalen

Cousins proving why he's crap once again

yeah that Jalen TD was something. but after seeing that weightlifting video he showed, not surprised he could carry that many defenders on his back.

great, both games aren't close, boring.

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

Like the board description during his Super Bowl win against the Steelers was "Gay 4 Aaron Rodgers".

He went from untouchable to disappearing in crucial moments

Packers were a bit like Mannings Colts where they were the best in NFL in November and then would with have injuries or let foot off accelerator for last few weeks and come in with bad game to open playoffs.

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

idk about that, I mean the year after he had probably one of the greatest seasons a QB's ever had. even with a crappy defense everyone thought they might go 19-0 because they were scoring touchdowns on every possession

Rodgers just has this thing where he's super good but I think once you solve the Packers' gameplan he doesn't really have the ability to figure out where the openings are. In fact he's remarkably stubborn sometimes. That's why he has a lot of really insane 1st halves but by the 2nd its like "dont look now but he's still not over 300 yards". even during the SB year this was a problem, they'd come out and wallop teams and build the kind of lead that seemed insurmountable yet somehow the opposing team would always seem to have a chance to win it in the end. We kept saying this is gonna come back to bite them in the ass. Compare to Tom Brady who seems to be the opposite, no matter what you do the guy figures out a way to at least make it close in the end

basically with his arsenal of weapons and ability yet failure to win in the end, coupled with the terrible ideas he gets in his head because he spends to much time listening to the wrong people and alienating everyone around him and his tendency to hang out huddled up in dark chambers, he’s the closest thing the nfl has to saruman.

snyder selling the team, never thought i'd see the day

HATCATs worth 6 big ones, which is cray cray. I'm sure that is enough money for Snyder to do plenty of other evil shit for the rest of his life.

Aaaaand the Rodgers trade to the Jets is a done deal, finally. I'm not sure I'll hate the Packers as much with Love as QB. We shall see.
