I thought it was a lot of hand fighting then the TE grabbing the defender to prevent an INT. Good no call and a fitting twist after that crap PF call that totally changed to final 3 minutes.

Total bulschitt call on SF he couldn’t possibly hear the whistle and finished his block!!!!! These refs suck A$$

Balance and college style plays are now in fashion. There’s always been cycles in the NFL. 3-4, 4-3, run and shoot, west coast , 46, etc etc. Some of the best passing teams may not have good defenses as well. Probably many factors at work, but the nature of quarterbacking is starting to change as well.

Different league then , too. The overall quality of defensive play is far inferior to ‘98 and ‘99 as well. You can’t even really play defense like you could at that time. The D will have to have a day, but they’ve done that pretty much all season. We don’t know if Allen can win a game outright or not because they’ve barely let him try. He may not have to this week, if the defense is up to their usual standard. If the situation arises that he needs to go win it, I don’t think you’ll see reluctance to let him in a playoff game. There’s no game the next week if you don’t. It’s a new season, really.

Yep. That was the spark. Who knows what was toxic about MIA at the time, but Tanny is a totally different guy in TEN. Situation can make a difference for a QB.

I think it does. 49ers are a much bigger draw than the Seahags

Well, 85 was a 2-14 season iirc. Not sure about ‘06, but Moorman might have been the MVP of that team.

Lol I’ve had that dill weed on ignore for a long time. No one is interested in the Pats* outside of BOS/ NE area but they will watch in hopes that they lose. Football fans in general despise that team.

This^^ timing of injuries is never good, but Nsekhe being ready to come back was a real long shot. To many bodies falling around to play OL in his hobbled condition. Wallace is a bigger loss than many give him credit for ( if he can’t go) , hope Fuller is out because we are thin at DB.

Lol, you’re right. They’ll give the freaking Patsies the last slot of the weekend.

49ers 35 Chiefs 30

It’s unusual , but disappointing might be overplaying it a bit. Let’s say the Eagles game and Ravens game were away and DAL and PIT were home. Would that make you feel differently ? 6-2 on the road isn’t common either, so likely a case of happenstance with matchups. Then always factor in one home game vs Pats * ( Bills kryptonite) and a meaningless regular season finale ( in which the defense gave up a mere 13 points).

It will be tonight , but the west coast possibilities if San Farncisco wins may delay the announcement.

They earned a spot in the playoffs by winning their games. Many, many other teams failed to do exactly that. Nothing to worry about, as the Bills have a playoff game next week ! Lots of teams fans have turned their thoughts to the offseason and the draft.

The constant was a lack of QB and offensive talent to go with it. Hopefully that has changed , but we’re not out of the woods completely yet.

Wow Eagles awoke from the dead in this 4th quarter. Won’t hate not seeing the Cowpokes in the postseason though.

NE wanted the Bills game just as much, and hung on for a 7 point win that was decided late in the 4th quarter. Just a play or two here or there makes a big difference. Brady threw a pick 6 today, so that was huge.

True. Probably Marchibroda. The offense was noticeably worse after his departure ( plus a lot of player departures as well)

Nope. It was crazy how he was sacrificed after the defense got dismembered by Fitz and the Jets.

Scorched earth, no survival, full sodomization and wholesale destruction.

Wouldn’t beating the Jets have taken quite a bit more ? Such as playing the starters on offense ? Seems like you’re advocating against this , lamenting injuries ( which can happen at any time in any game) . So which is it ? The players looked confident today, and I doubt their confidence is shaken in any way. It will take a lot more to beat the Pats*, too. The Bills have about two wins over Brady in his career. The team isn’t there yet, but they are in the playoffs, and can win too. Your “ probation “ should be revoked. In a meaningless game, why not put it to the test ? It’s a minor quibble, to be sure though.

They should be aware that some of these calls have been getting overturned in recent weeks. Earlier in the season, that was not the case.

Steelers are not playoff material. Titans are a real threat in the tournament ( Pats* could be shown an early exit) and the Cowchips are a little better than the Eagles, since someone has to win that division.

It’s just a few things. Flores has great intel on the Pats, and his team is playing a lot better now than they were. Lastly, the Pats* just aren’t that much better of a team than the Dolphins on any given day at this point.

Lol never could stand that dill hole
