I couldn't see the game, but many teams, when it's the last chance to kick a GW FG, choose to kick on 3rd down (or whatever) in case there is a bad snap, something goes wrong, and you can eat the ball and try again.

OT play calling more times than not is a head scratcher. 

Hitting the upright on a chip shot FG also no bueno 

 

I don’t get the play call of kicking sooner than you really have to. 

 

Me neither, just keep running it. I will say trying a vital FG on 3rd down in case there’s a bad snap or the holder drops it isn’t a bad idea.

I know all about why on 3rd down to kick a fg. Though it’s the NFL… not flag football in a summer park league.

A lot of info will be provided after tomorrow's games, that's for sure. Moreso in the NFC, as for top seeds, should be some excitement.

With Cincy beating Denver, makes next weekend AFC games more watchable. Especially if the Colts and/or Dolphins also winning tomorrow.

AFC top 3 is PRETTY much set. The lower seeds, notsomuch. The top seeds in the NFC? Good God, that's a cage match.

Did burrow do the circle game or the “white people” symbol?  Let the Twitter controversy begin….

 

I think we know the answer but Twitter won’t let that slide.

What do you mean I watch too much TV?  I have zero clue what you’re taking about.  I have two kids in hockey and watch very little TV because I’m always at the rink or driving to or from the rink.  What on TV has anything to do with this?

What am I told?  

all I know is any time someone gives the “OK” symbol, there seems to be controversy on Twitter insinuating they’re racist….Twitter is not TV.

no shit.  I never said or implied he was racist.

 

I just said he screwed up by making the symbol and will now have to deal with the idiots on Twitter who are about to roast him by trying to pin the WP racist tag on him.

 

 I still don’t know what this has to do with TV or what I am told.

If I was him, I would do it again next week... just to watch all these blowhards' heads explode. His family, friends, teammates and fans all know it means nothing. And that's all that should matters.

Washington wins next week, the Packers fall to the 7 seed and travel to Philly regardless if they beat Chicago. 

Go Washington…

Social media is pretty good right now with the rushing records. Barkley can break Dickerson’s record with 107 yards next week. Though the rebuttal is, Dickerson did it in 16 games, followed by OJ did it in 14.

Barkley is a class act player. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he sits out next week. Putting his team above his personal records.

I mean, it's the Giants. He should get that in the first half, and then, yes, bench. 
I agree with the season games thing, they should change it to avg yds/game or "eras." 

1000 yds season (rush or rec) means nothing nowadays compared to the 12 game sched.

So there are four, maybe five big games this weekend, obv biggest being MN-DET. 
KC-DEN/CIN-PIT, CLE-BALT, and then the TB game?

BALT covers the -20 spread, rendering tonight's PIT-CIN game meaningless for PIT, but CIN is still playing for something (with help, IIRC).

Cincy needs Denver to lose to KC (it’s @ Denver and KC has nothing to play for.) and 
Miami to lose at the Jets.

And KC was delayed a few hours due to the weather at KC airport. Not that it matters to KC, as you said, but that sure matters to DEN and CIN...

DEN and MIA are still alive, also.

I’ll be honest… I want Cincy to make the playoffs. My childhood fav. team. 

Though the other outcome I want to see (besides the Vikings winning) Washington beating the Cowboys and regardless what the Packers do. Green Bay falls to the 7 seed has to go to Philly.

He intercepted it at his own 16 yard line and immediately was like "Nope!!!! I have no desire to try to run 84 yards." It's important in life to be able to make quick smart decisions. 😉 😀

 I’d expect kc to effectively throw the game. No way they want any chance to see Burrow in the postseason

KC has already rules out a bunch of their starters. Denver is currently an 11 point favorite. 

The thing I find interesting about KC resting a bunch of their starters is their last game was on Christmas Day (Wednesday a week and a half ago) so with the first round bye next week their starters will be going 3.5 weeks between games played. 

I thought they might want Cincinnati in as the 7th seed to play Buffalo in the first round.

I don’t think KC cares who gets in as the 7. Though I would bet that for the playoff field Cincy is that last team they want play among the 3 (CiN, DEN & MIA).

I rescind my previous post. PIT is either 5 or 6, which frankly, not a big difference.

Um that’s a huge difference, if they win they go to Houston if they lose they go to Baltimore. No chance they beat the Ravens in Baltimore unless they got a better QB to trot out (Fields?)

BALT has a history of trouble with PIT, for whatever reason. I have a co-worker is as big a Ravens fan as I am Bills, and he can't explain it. I think BALT is the scariest team right now, but...trends. 

HOU, I agree, is a paper tiger.

There is zero chance this Ravens team loses to this Steelers team. This could set a record for betting margin.
