Why did they not immediately call a TO there? Bizarre coaching from the GOAT.

We will have to beat them in Miami one way or the other most likely. If not in week 18, then probably in the playoffs.

Sigh the NFL wins again. Here I am late on Christmas Eve on the edge of my seat over two mediocre to bad teams playing the dumbest sport ever invented.

The Broncos inevitably winning here makes it unlikely we will clinch a playoff spot next week. But maybe the Patriots will do us a favor and roll over and die when we play them. I don't know how a team emotionally comes back from a loss like this when the season is already over.

Lmao Zappe slid to keep the clock running after it had already hit the 2 minute warning 🤣

One of our players almost died on the field, when the hell were we lucky last year

Our string of bad luck is really crazy. The Pats missed 4 points on kicks so far. They dropped a probable game sealing INT. Just basic things they didn't execute.

Insanely unlucky. I am almost positive defenders have a 100% catch rate against him this year.

Why do other QBs get the benefit of dropped INTs? I see it at least once in every game. I can't recall a single dropped INT against Allen though, a couple INTs against us were in fact legitimately great catches.

I don't think we would rest our starters, but I doubt us or Miami would really give that game their all considering a potential rematch could be in play the following week in the wildcard round. No need to show Miami our full bag of tricks in a game that would essentially be meaningless.

I still cannot believe this drive ended in 0 points:

NYT playoff machine has us at 95% likely to make the playoffs at 10-7 after inputting a Broncos loss tonight. It really is crazy how it worked out. Every potential wildcard team that we wanted to lose this weekend has in fact lost. Dolphins spoiled a perfect weekend, but I'll be honest this year more than ever I don't care about seeding now that the #1 seed is out of reach. #7 or #2 seed, makes no difference to me. Every team in the AFC playoffs is going to be pretty closely matched. It's going to be a difficult set of games no matter what sequence of teams we get.

If the Pats/Broncos result holds (which seems likely now), we clinch a playoff spot next week with just these 3 probable results: 1) We beat the Pats 2) Chiefs beat the Bengals 3) Seahawks beat the Steelers 2 or 3 can be replaced with the Jaguars losing to the Panthers (not likely) or the Colts and Texans both losing to the Raiders and Titans respectively (also not likely).

This unlucky streak will be put to the test next week. The Pats kicker has missed a 47 yarder by about a mile, and just missed an XP too. If he drills two 50 yarders right down the middle against us, we can pack it in for the season and accept the universe doesn't want us to win anything meaningful this year.

Actually I just realized it's a little easier than this. If 3 of the Bengals, Steelers, Broncos, and Jaguars lose 1 game by the end of next week we would also clinch a spot. So there's a couple paths to us clinching a spot next week. The Colts and Texans games next week only really matter if both of them lose.

Yes. We need 4 of the Bengals, Jaguars, Colts, Texans, Steelers, and Broncos to lose 1 game (and that includes the Broncos game tonight). If that happens by the end of next week and we beat the Patriots, we'll have clinched a playoff spot. If the Colts and Texans both lose next week (against the Raiders and Titans respectively), we only need 1 other team out of that list to lose and in that scenario we also clinch a playoff spot next week (since the Colts and Texans play each other in week 18 so that would guarantee the 4th loss we need).

Tua literally just made basic preseason level throws the whole game. That's all they need from him to win most of their games.

Disappointing but ultimately doesn't matter. If we have to enter the playoffs as a wildcard, so be it. At least we got to watch the Cowboys be embarrassed which is always a treat.

Just let them score. What are they doing?? There is no point in making a tackle after 8 yards.

Just make Tyreek the MVP already. He's dragging this team into the playoffs.

Cowboys have made so many awful mistakes in this game. A dumb team that takes on the intelligence of its head coach.

Man I really wanted us to trade for Cooks when he was available. He has been criminally underrated for a while now.

This coaching staff is so bad, man.

I hate when WRs start calling for flags before the play ends. Yeah he held you and the refs missed it. You still have to finish the play and try to make a catch.

Yeah one of our players in particular. You can guess which one.
