watch a lot of football and you will understand what I am saying. The league is about winning close games and doing it in a fashion that is repeatable...not a miracle play, but methodical play and playing with poise at the critical moments. SF lost to Cle with a backup qb, miami lost at home to will levis, dallas lost to josh dobbs, eagles lost to the jets....etc.etc.etc.. this is a week to week league. The trick is winning close games and being able to play with poise when you are under the most pressure.

everybody makes mistakes...there are no all time great teams this year. Its a week to week league this year more than ever and no matter what happens during the game you keep playing and play your best in that final 5 minutes. that is the name of the game.

This is now two really tough road games they had to win. They needed a drive to score and a stop on Defense... first in KC and now in LA...they pulled it off and are learning how to handle this scenario better than ever. overcoming mistakes and penalties and not giving an inch on defense. I have so much respect for this defense tonight, that stop after the interception then the stop after the fumble....great stuff.

go read the thread when he got his extentsion...most of the people here were mad because they thought he sucks....same people didn't even know what position he played technically though so I guess I should not have been surprised

That Ed Oliver sack.. what a play..everyone here hates him as much as they do allen and he just keeps making plays.

Give Ed oliver the biggest damn game ball ever

cook fumbled twice tonight....will they stay with him?

That holding on morse was so iffy. first down to 2nd and 27. amazing.

Feels like Buffalo needs 10 more points to win this game

nope. It was a perfectly designed and called play at the perfect time. Allen had to move and it made the throw harder, had he been able to sit in the pocket that is prbably a td. perfect play call.

what are you talking about. it was a perfect play call and was just under thrown because allen got flushed out of the pocket.

I knew the deep ball was coming. Bummer they missed it.

Have to think allen is going to take some shots this half. It has looked like guys have gotten open behind the corners and he has been looking short to long. I imagine after seeing some of this on the film he takes a shot or two on a 2nd and short depending on the score. they found the running game that last drive so it will be really hard to not stay with it but I think there are some chances here to hit a big play.

they had the numbers on the punt return and harty ran into contact and they committed a holding. How does that happen?

no, read the room. They just need to get through this game with a win. its not about how its about how many. all that matters is they win. Thats it.

Tough night for Lou Anarumo.....looks like they didn't expect pittsburgh to throw the ball this much and have had no answer to it. Just left his corners on islands all night.

Honestly it feels like a scenario that going back to the night they lost to denver the worlds biggest homer could not even muster up. the next 3 weeks in the afc seems like anything can happen and nothing would be a surprise.

I switched to peacock. Will go back and check yea it is better. The peacock broadcast is dark and the nbc broadcast is bright and sharp

The steelers have a makeshift defense though.

yea the bengals have looked as good as anyone. hopefully that ends tonight but they have been good.

the nbc brodcast seems to have some issues. Lot of artifacts and the picture is not sharp. Anyone else experiencing this? My antenna signal is 99% and the commercials are perfect. very weird.

My hope for tonight, they run behind that big irish guy and that brown guy on the right side. Keep the game at 3rd and 3 ish and let allen make simple efficient plays to move the chains and use the clock. Have to think if they get a double digit lead in the first half the chargers will just go through the motions..... the prototypical ricky watters "for who, for what" scenario.

not only that but allen was 7-15 with 1 td. Cook dropped a second td and there were 3 more drops. allen should have been something like 11-15 with 2 TD's. Dallas was aware of his every move and spied him on every play in the first half.

i just heard a dolphins reporter on the radio here in Dallas doing a preview for the dolphins cowboys game. He said in reference to the bills cowboys game that if the dolphins run the ball like the bills did it will be game over because the dolphins can pass the ball.... yikes. The media in Miami is as arrogant and ignorant as their fan base is.
