2 hrs 29 min was the shortest game ever. Can Rams-Jets break that record? https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/shortest-nfl-game/

Wonder what the record is with time of possession vs pts produced. rams kicked the ball off with 6:22 to go in 2nd and got a FG. Then start if 3rd jets go it and had a 9:45 drive to fail on 4th down. Tests 16+ minutes with the ball

Race for 1st overall pick….. it’s Vegas vs giants, both at 3 wins. Sort is strength of schedule then a coin flip. without game cancelations, strength of schedulr is the same as team wins. both teams played nfc south and afc north so those cancel out. Giants played— division foes, min, sea, Indy Raiders played- division foes, Mia, sea, JAX as of Sunday 1 pm opponent wins… Giants —27+27+12+8+6= 54+26=80 Raiders- 32+32+6+8+3=64+ 17=81 lowest W total gets higher pick so week 18 SEA-RAMS matchup could decide who gets 1st overall

With results from today…. buffalo is at 11-3 while PIT/BAL are 10-5. A win sunday does not clinch anything here. If BUF W tomorrow and they both L on Xmas then Bills clinch #2 and KC clinch #1 besting PIT. BUF would be 12-3 and they both are 10-6. If Bills clinch #2 starters should be resting for the final game of the season while against the jets they might play into the 3rd Q Bills tied with Pit at 12-5 , PIT would have the conf record tiebreaker. BAL at 12-5 has H2H tiebreaker. bills need either W 2 games or W one and PIT/BAL both lose 1. in term of north division… right now PIT is ahead, If next week both W, the PIT will have the better common games record because they went 2-1 vs BAL going 3-0 in non common games. both L next week then they would have the same common games record of 2-1 so then conf record would be PIT advantage right now it’s 7-3 vs 6-4…both lose its 7-4 and 6-5 non common PIT ( jets, colts, ATL ) bal (bills, Texans, bucs). PIT L to Indy so they are 2-1 while bal plays HOU next week and went 2-0 to W the div BAL needs to finish ahead of PIT in standings are PIT does a WL and BAL does a LW thus giving BAL a better div record in a tiebreaker. IF PIT W and BAL L on Xmas, PIT clinches div IF both W one game they are certain 2nd place team would be the 5th seed both BAL & PT beat DEN/ LAC so thry have the tiebreaker on seeding if they end up tied. I?f both PIT and BAL L on xmas and DEN and LAC win on Saturday on NFLN thry you will likely see all 4 plays at 425 with all all the WC seedlings up for grabs with all at 10-6

everyone processed stressful events differently which is why I hate it when I hear people talk about these implied generalities that then assumes something that is not true.

nobody wants to see something happen like that in a game. It’s no different than Hamlin, Stungley, thiesman, and other big injuries

Early in the season after the Cards game where it was a deep bruise/ fracture. I’m not local to eat everything 24/7 in buffalo.

it just proves the significance of home field advantage. These should have been done at neutral sites. Expect thrm to be done from neutral sites next year. id throw these 4 playoff games into early bowl games i also do not want conference rematches occurring until you get to the final 4.

They already did…. roughing passer Mahomes for a tap to the head in attempt to block a pass. Penalty extended a drive last play of half Stroud hit heart to helmet after throw was made on that Hail Mary …penalty called would have allowed th Texans to kick a FG.

ESPN has a story on this. with Penix getting the start there was talk if cousins is done with Atlanta by many. in March his contract has a $10 M roster bonus due. They might cut him before that. with the contract and cap hits therr are difference between buy out in March or June and actually trading him elsewhere. if the trade him, the places I see him going to are ( depends entirely on money owed and cap hit) Raiders, Jets and Titans as starters , a few other teams as a vet backup behind a rookie contract QB ( wash, carolina, Indy, return to MIN?)

I lost you when you said you were a Jets fan……

Is it Aaron Rodgers?

If thry madke thr playoffs thry could be a dangerous team because they have Burrow and WRs for them to make the playoffs…. they need WWW and Ravens W one broncos lose to chiefs ( and lose to bengals) and MIA and Indy each lose 1 Colts need to WWW and have either chargers LL or broncos LL and Fins/ Bengals WWW or Ravens LLL Fins need to WWW and either A broncos or chargers LL and colts L one or B 2 of broncos, chargers, ravens finish 9-8 by losing out

A full quarter possession is very difficult to do…. when teams start at their 30 and runs 3 plays for a first doen and the clock is continuously moving with 5 sec play and 50 second in between snaps can take… 1 play/ 45 secondsx (15x60 )sec/ quarter= (15x60)/45 plays = 20 play drive Divevthst by 3 and you need to get 6 1st downs in a drive with starting at the 30, the max you can get without def prnalty is 6 2 st dozens such as..30( initial start point) 41, 48, 37, 26, 15, 4

Wind does funny things shortening the kick making short field FC possible.

With the Chargers winning….. hopefuly I didn’t do any mistakes…. 5 Ravens 9-5 ( W or L sat, they will stay at 5) 6 Chargers 9-6 7 Broncos 9-6 Fins, Bengals, Colts are 6-8 and still mathematically alive eherr… Chargers or Broncos LL. …. broncos beat colts bengals have to beat broncos Colts beat Fins. vhargers beat brngals if not a H2H game it would come to conf record where Fins and Colts would be 7-5 Chargers and bengals 6-6 Broncos 5-7 chzrgerscswept broncos Colts would have the edge in most 9-8 ties except if it’s just broncos and colts st 9-8 where denver W on h2h Fins win on tiebreakers without the colts at 9-8 Bengals would W on only bengals but colts and fins would win if also st %9-8 if both chargers and broncos LL then you can have other teams make it who are 9-8 with colts and dolphins better conf records in over chargers, chargers over bengals. Broncos need chargers in first before they could get in.

That's the point. If you are pinned deep in your own end zone you can get FCs around your 45 to their 40. Usually when teams are pinned inside their 5 on a punt the ball usually does not go as far as a notmal punt. many kickers if they didn’t need to wort about a snap or rush hit 60-65 yd FGs

I just posted the video of the one I remrmber. thr logic innthe move us you need 2 scores and if it’s within kicking range is getting points without burning the clock thrn you have more time to get another score. scenario… you failed to get TD on 4 th down with 6 to go. You didn’t get a safety but punt was back of end zone. You FC atthe off 40. You kick FG preserving time to get the ball back for another score.

the rule has been around since the start of the NFL. College football eliminated this rule. This was the 6th time in the last 20 seasons. they also moved the posts to the back of the end zone making it harder. it’s not that common because it only happens at the end of half or end of game with kickers improving today regularly kicking 55+ FGs you are likely to see it more frequently. it could be used in strategy like if a team is down 9-11 points with under10 min to go, they have the team pinned deep and they punt and you fair catch it on their side of the field. the kick is uncontested and can’t be blocked. this was something Houston could have tried after buffalo punted from deep in their own end. I don’t know if coaches even thought about this scenario. the one I remember was the divisional playoff game of niners vs Vikings in 1989 where the niners tried it and failed. this sometime occurred on fair catches of attempted onside kicks. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/packers-missed-an-opportunity-at-a-rare-fair-catch-free-kick-before-halftime

I’m very familiar with this rule free quick is rare but not new. It usually happens at end of half or end of game. Houston could have tried this against buffalo with the situation of buffalo deep in their end stvthe end of the game creating an uncontested kick.

Drone?

It has been done before with KC playing on sat and win their in, lose then #1 up for grabs KC playing DEN still could matter on who KC plays and seeding or making playoffs for Denver.

they did clearly state flexing rules around late season games. For a long time therr has been a possibility of moving game time on sundays. thry woukd have a bigger issue if this was moved to Thursday 10 days ago, but they got 4 weeks notice. therr has bern talk of a team outside thr US in Canada, Mexico, and London. If a Super Bowl is in London the Super Bowl kick off would likely move to around 2 pm ET from 630 pm ET. I don’t see an issue with that. if they did it out of Sydney ,they could do the kick off at 12 pm on Sunday ( local Sydney time) is 8 pm Sat ET and 5pm SAT PT They already flexed one of the 3 from 2 pm to 435p if chiefs LL and Bills WW they likely move bills- pats to the early Saturday slot on espn with a bills win earning top seed/ bye

He grounds the ball to kill they play because he sees a CB possibly trying to pick it.
