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

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.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 14:44 (one year ago) link
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.
― Bell Bivalent Devax (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 15:25 (one year ago) link
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"

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.

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 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.
― earlnash, Monday, 19 September 2022 00:22 (one year ago) link
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*
― mookieproof, Monday, 19 September 2022 00:38 (one year ago) link
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

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)

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.

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
― frogbs, Monday, 19 September 2022 16:33 (one year ago) link
I mean I understood the concerns at least before he threw 6 TDs yesterday.
― i eat ass with a knife and fork (Neanderthal), Monday, 19 September 2022 16:35 (one year ago) link
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.
― i eat ass with a knife and fork (Neanderthal), Monday, 19 September 2022 16:36 (one year ago) link
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.

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.
