Because three yards and a cloud of artificial turf is boring.

And by the way 3 things happen when you pass, two of them are bad

The three true outcomes of the forward pass: completion, incompletion, interception. Also, sack. And strip sack. Roughing the passer. Pass interference and defensive holding. And offensive holding. Illegal hands to the face, offense or defense. Maybe the QB hits his thumb on the tackler’s helmet and has to be evaluated in the blue tent. Or hits his head on the turf. Or lacerated spleen. Let’s call it like thirteen true outcomes and see if the nerds can model it. 

In all seriousness, I prefer that the NFL is a lawyer league rather than a VC/private equity league like MLB has become.

Meanwhile the poor international audience gets "treated" to a game that would have been great 10-20 years ago but is now instead a likely 10-3 final.

10-6 final in Germany. I should bet more often.

Rooting guide for today:

Steelers over Packers

Jaguars over 49ers

Saints over Vikings

Giants over Cowboys (lol)

Commanders over Seahawks

 

 

[MichiganCardinal]

I think we win. Better offense and much better coaching. Mostly comparable defense.

Don’t turn the ball over three times though.

Detroit vs LA. Beverly Hills Cop IV

I think this is going to be a really tough game.   Chargers are starting to come on and have been getting better defensively.    I think this comes down to the end and the Lions end up a play short. 
 

Chargers 24

Lioms 23

Kickoff is an hour and a half away, and it's still tied 0-0. Way to go defense!!

[TP_Fan]

Of course the Vikings would a replacement qb that’s better than cousins.  This is really lining up for the lions not to win the division.  After today the Vikings will be a half game back.

Hock is tearing up the field today. Having a career day

I think Levi’s trajectory may have been totally different if not for the back injury.

Brodric got bullied on Monday Night. The Raiders one and only productive drive happened when they made their game plan to just run at him. He needs to be better.

Man I really love this Jamid Montgibbery guy. Great player

Decker is an idiot. Another failed red zone trip. They learned nothing out of the bye.  1 for their last 13 in converting in the red zone. Just not good enough.

I thought it was a bad call, honestly. Decker hardly touched him

Totally. They should cut Decker and fire the entire coaching staff and front office.

[Hongbit]

That wasn’t a low block.  It was an attempted low block.  Don’t know how the rule book reads on if that is still a penalty

He was outside the tackle box. You can’t do that.

1 TD in their last 13 red zone trips.  Tell me that’s not a problem. Oh, they also have the worst red zone defense. They have been playing with fire for a month.
