  1. Nope. Worst case is don't use timeouts and they score with zero time left.
  2. Because I was borning in the glorious nation of Kazakhstan.
  3. To be fair - you can be a very, very good QB and still never come close to JA17s level. Josh is that good.
  4. Some days I wonder if crazy people spend half their time posting here (inbetween dances, obviously)...
  5. It was Groot. And the blocker was holding as well (Groot was past him and he had a handful of Groot's jersey, pulling it back).
  6. Probably thought they should have let Singletary go in for the TD? Or maybe going for it on fourth down? Or both?
  7. The growth of the young talent is just as a important as having Von Miller, imo. Epenesa has taken a couple of years to develop, but the limits caused by COVID must have had an effect. Our second team DL this year might overall be on a par with our starting DL last year.
  8. We call sweet chestnuts - chestnuts (and a an autumnal delicacy). Horse chestnuts are conkers - beloved of schoolyard games.
  9. It's got to be teabagging DBs after the tackle, surely. Oh, and turnovers and penalties...
  10. Laurel and Hardy would be more appropriate...
  11. Apparently Khomenei (the guy who issued the initial Fatwa against Rushdie) never read the book. He just took it as an article of faith that what he was told about the book was the truth.
  12. Went back to watch the game and listened to Collinsworth a bit more, and he is not nearly as bad as some here think. Not perfect, but not a grade A I-do-not-even-know-what-the-hell-that-is-zle-but-from-the-context-it-must-really-be-bad. I will be paraphrasing and it was yesterday morning I watched it again. In response to various statements here: He did not say Addison had led the Bills in sacks the last 3-4 seasons. He said he had led his team for the last 3-4 seasons. He was joint leader here last year and the previous seasons he led the Panthers. So Collinsworth was right. On Josh and the MVP. He was asked if he was in the conversation. He said he has been improving as this year has gone on. By the season's end he would be up there. His last two games had been in the rain. This was his best game so far. And, finally with the TD throw, just give him the MVP now... He was being positive. He also said Josh was mediocre his first two years. Yep, he was. It is why so many were down on him (and some idiots still are). He was exciting those first two seasons but tried to play hero ball and the rest of the O sucked for the most part which did not help. He was by no means great, or even good (although there were some great patches (and his highlight reel over those seasons were something), there were some pretty awful ones as well). He called Josh phenomenal last year and that he was getting to the same level over the last few games this season. On the penalties. On the RTP penalty after the phantom Morse hold he did not like it and said it would be talked about after the game. He did (half-heartedly) identify why it was given, though. On Oliver's RTP call he said that if the Chiefs came back into the game that penalty would be talked about as well. He was less down on the penalty, but he did recognise it would have been talked about. The holding on Morse he initially talked about grabbing the shirt, but when he and Michaels watched the whole play concentrating on Morse their comments were Michaels 'Really?' Collinsworth 'Shocking!' He also noticed that Diggs had his arm held on at least one incomplete (he may have done this twice). The implication being that PI could have been called there. On Analysis: Did a nice bit on why Josh's early runs were so successful with the pulling O-linemen clearing the way for his long run and TD run in the first drive. He also identified a good block on Groot that prevented him from tipping a pass thrown out into the flat (go for the legs). And said then you needed to do that otherwise Groot could make a play. On Groot's interception he pointed out that this time the blocker did not go low, allowing Groot to get his hand on the ball, tip it and make the interception. He had identified what would make a play work and what could make it a disaster. And later in the game he was proven right when the exact thing he was highlighting happened and Groot made the interception. That is pretty good analysis, IMO. I wish there was more, but he did do some good work. Okay, he will get things wrong. He will talk rubbish from time-to-time. But given the time frame he has to operate between plays that is inevitable. And I have heard much worse football commentary over the years. Just be thankful you guys never had to listen to the soccer commentators I grew up with in the UK. THEN you would know what crap commentary and analysis was all about. (I think what I have typed is correct. But I was tired when I watched the game again. And I was mostly watching it for enjoyment, not for this thread. So I reserve the right to be wrong from time-to-time. Like everyone else.).
