When we only had a 3 point lead on the Jets late in the game, I was thinking how nice it would have been to have a 6 point lead. Going for FG's is the correct call sometimes.
With repeated blows to the head.
Here's how it plays out.
R1: Bills beat NE. Steelers take out Chiefs. Bengals/Raiders.
R2: Bills at home beat either Bengals/Raiders. Steelers beat Titans.
R3. Bills at home over Steelers for AFCC.
But Mac also doesn't have the arm or body strength to make throws. That could change in the future. But he can't do it now. He is the definition of a game manager and needs to be carried by his team.
If the Chargers were the team we play, resale ticket sales would have tanked. You might have seen $20 tickets by Friday. With the Pats prices will remain high and the stadium will be packed.
Seems like a d**k move by the Raiders to win the game when a tie gets both teams in. But I guess the Raiders would prefer being a 5 seed as opposed to a 7. Then there is the divisional rivalry. Wouldn't we want to stick it to an AFCE rival?
