I've seen more offensive holding called today than I have all year combined. I gotta think a league memo went out this week.

Watching him try to throw a football 20 yards is painful.

Seriously? Not only does he not need an invitation, but he's already right here in this thread.

Tua got benched. Probably for ineffectiveness but also possibly because his foot got rolled up on.

obviously

99 yards of Fitzmagic in the offing?

Sigh...... nevermind.

The greatest chapter ever written about Captain Crunch

I don't watch them often enough to really know, but from what I have seen out of that franchise recently I have a really hard time trusting that defense if it's not playing with a lead.

There is something wrong with that boy'ssoul.

Also the first thing that popped into my head.

Exactly. He was miked up that day and told his boys on the sideline that he was going to just clock it until he got up there and saw the situation. The way Allen finished the Cards game and has finished multiple others, I can see him pulling off something similar when he's a little older.

I don't think he knew he was going to do it until he actually got to the line and saw the Dallas Dfront standing around. And he threw a couple sick dimes just to get them there in under 30 seconds. Here's the whole game-winning "drive"

What balls and brains to come with that in a split second and then pull it off to win a game.

Brett says "Touchdowns first", coach! 😁 Although oddly enough, in this case he passed up the free TD to Diggs. 🤷‍♂️

One of my favorite quick thinking heads up plays ever: Stafford's fake spike call with the sneak that 21 other guys never saw coming

The only thing that might have really made the difference is if Tre goes up with one hand instead of two, which is what you're supposed to do as a DB in a Hail Mary situation. It buys you a significant amount of additional height to deflect the ball and you can still have your other arm in position to rip a receivers arm out of his socket if you miss on the deflection. Although in this case it might not have worked because the Cards actually had a guy undefended on the two yard line waiting for a bounce.

NONE OF WHICH HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH KUBIAK OR WITH JOSH ALLEN'S PERFORMANCE IN ARIZONA. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS YET?

Yup, Josh blew the read on that one. And I bet Diggs wasn't happy about it. From the Gameday thread

Sounds only slightly less stupid than wasting a first round pick on a K So for the majority of his teams, his FG% was better than Janikowski's? Good one. Actually, I'm not wasting my time arguing with you because you just come up with a bunch of immaterial stuff like this to convince yourself you're never wrong. Go trade infinite irrelevancies with Doc.

Chan Gailey's offense isn't the same as it was last week, much less years ago. There wasn't one single thing in that article that would make me think it was a good pick. In Janikowski's 17 years in Oakland they won a grand total of 4 playoff games. In 17 years. A couple years after he was drafted they embarked on a losing streak that lasted 13 years in a row. The guy they drafted Janikowski to replace ended up having a 16 year career with a better XP% than Janikowski and a FG% that was virtually identical. Maybe if they had used that first round pick on an actual football player instead of a drunk kicker, they might have avoided being perennial losers for over a decade.

I can't see that video so I don't know if it shows up there, but what he did to Patrick Peterson at the LOS on that TD catch was absolutely filthy. I really like Peterson but watching him calling for safety help from the slot had me laughing my ass off during the game. In the game thread I referred to it as an Allen Iverson route and I'm sticking with that.

He's got no experience turning his hips He's got no experience tracking a ball He's got no experience establishing position He's got no experience timing a leap And some of y'all think that he's going to magically fly through the air to outduel a HOF caliber receiver at the peak of his abilities. It's so patently absurd that I can't believe it's being seriously discussed by otherwise seemingly rational human beings. Since that is as diplomatically as I can put it, I'm stepping out so you gents can continue enjoying your alternative reality uninterrupted.

I've reached the point where I don't care if we see more production there. I just want them to stop being a net negative most weeks. Being invisible would be an improvement at this point.
