NFL Comments for 2024

Wow...

Dolphins win the toss and defer, as one would when you understand at least one thing about football. Even if the receiving team scores a TD they when no opportunity to possess the ball twice in a row.  

[MichiganCardinal]

Who do the Bears target?

- Ben Johnson: obvious, they'll ask him and he'll likely be the hire if he wants it. I don't think this will be his choice though, if he goes.

- Aaron Glenn: I don't think this is where he lands. He seems more likely to end in NOLA.

- Lincoln Riley: this is who I'm rooting for because it would be hilarious and so incompetent.

- Thomas Brown: I take it back, this would be the real hilarious and incompetent move.

- Brian Flores: I would rather him as Bears HC than Vikings DC, but I don't think they go back to back DCs.

- Bill Belichick: doubt it.

- Joe Brady: This is probably my prediction. They'll want a QB whisperer who can mold Williams. He'll get a mulligan for the Panthers fiasco because they're the Panthers.

Lions may have had a sloppy second half with a depleted defense, but the media darling Chiefs are currently tied 3-3 with 4 minutes left in the first half against the 2-9 Raiders.

Despite Jawaan Taylor committing a false start on every. single. play.

The Raiders started this game with Ameer Abdullah as their starting RB. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

If I were a Bears fan I think the person I'd want is Ben Johnson first and foremost and would be making an aggressive play to get him. If not Johnson, Mike Vrabel would be the next person I'd target. Vrabel with that defensive foundation they have already and a good QB in place, something he never had in Tennessee, could be dangerous.

Ben Johnson has no history of developing a young QB. He took a veteran QB who had previous success and built him back up. This offense relies a lot on Goff making presnap reads and throwing with timing and anticipation. Will that work with a young QB?

2-9 Raiders now lead the 10-1 Chiefs 17-16 early in the 4th quarter.

[lordstanley]

2-9 LA Raiders take a 17-16 lead over the Chiefs in KC, 8 seconds into the 4th quarter. 

[lordstanley]

I like the way that MichiganCardinal thinks, seems to have a great mind.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[Motown Bombers]

Keep in mind the Raiders have missed two field goals. 

[MichiganCardinal]

KC is doing everything they can to lose this game.

I've never seen a game with so many field goals that were short

[MichiganCardinal]

Carlson is going to get one more shot.

edit: LOL, maybe not the Raiders seem to be Eberfluusing.

How do the Chiefs keep winning these games?

[MichiganCardinal]

They gave the officiating crew a chance to hand the Chiefs a win, and they're not going to turn it down. I thought the play was whistled dead long before any sort of recovery occurred.

[sagnam]

This is completely crazy.

Yeah it was a quick whistle if they thought the outcome of the play was dependent upon who recovers the ball. 
 

 

[MichiganCardinal]

I don't think the crew enforced that correctly. The wing official on the far side had a dead ball foul (false start) and was killing the play. If you watch the replay, he's not officiating the play, but instead running into the referee signaling false start.

Which would mean that this should have been enforced as either a false start, or if they decided that it was not a false start, an inadvertent whistle/signal, which would have remained the Raiders ball.

[sagnam]

i guess they decided that there were people moving at the snap rather than moving when set.

And if the clock was running, that would be the correct call. 

7-2-4-6: Shift Converts to False Start. With the game clock running after the two-minute warning of either half, if all 11 offensive players are not set simultaneously for one full second prior to the snap, it is a false start. If all 11 players get set, and then two players shift without resetting prior to the snap, it is a live ball foul for an illegal shift.

Since the clock was not running, I think Illegal Shift was probably the right call. But I still don't think that they were right to stick with it, when at least one official was clearly killing the play before a recovery occurred.

Like when they kill a play and the QB throws the ball into the ground so no one hits them, are they supposed to allow that dead ball to become a live ball if it should have been an illegal shift and call that an incomplete pass or a fumble?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Has there ever been a luckier and more fortunate team than this year's Chiefs teams? My lord they keep finding new ways to win a game when they shouldn't.
