It’s not sudden death unless the first team scores a TD.

 

When you’re facing a bad offense, ALWAYS kick off in OT.

 

Always, always, always.

 

If you’re facing a great offense, then you receive.

Why risk it? As we saw with NE, all it takes is one BS play.

[BRH]

That FG target line is accurate for Zuerlein… ten years ago. 

[That's No Moon]

This sort of game gets people fired. Everyone understands DeVito isnt prepared, but to so obviously not even try to win the game is embarrassing. Go down swinging and people will give you grace. This? All the knives come out.

Normally you wouldn’t imo,  this game right here though is the very specific case where I’d kick

League wants to keep the Rodgers story alive. 

Expand  

All he has to do is show up and throw passes before the game.  That's enough to keep it alive.

 

And wow, that was an awful DPI.  Not a bad call, just.... Williams vs Welker PI type of play.

[BRH]

Such bull####, ball was underthrown and DB was turned around in position trying to make a play. 

[Steptide]

That was terrible pi. I mean you coukd see that from a mile away 

[benderbender]

No replays

[Roundybout]

That is textbook PI and now the Jets are gonna win. Way to go, Daboll.

Ouch at Devito's numbers.  You would figure that any NFL QB could at least get a couple of screens or check downs for positive yards if they play in a half, but maybe not.

Expand  

Well, DeVito probably shouldn’t be an NFL QB. He was ok at Illinois, but hot garbage at Syracuse. Whatever happened to the punter being emergency QB? The punter or anyone on the roster could have done the same as DeVito. A strange waste of roster space for a guy they won’t let throw downfield.

And now back to the jets game? Tv station on meth 

[Jukester]

Why don’t cornerbacks turn around

[UKBillFan]

We get is zebras. From the moment you didn't spot the ball properly on the final play of regulation time.

[zow2]

They shoulda let Divito throw deep and try to get a DPI,  Giants just conservatived themselves to death.

Nah, he jumped into him and didn’t look back. That gets called every single time 

[Negan]

I hate the Jets

[jkeerie]

Jets are so freaking lucky.

[yall]

Way to gift wrap it for them.

 

Also, -9 yards passing in 4.5 quarters of football must be some kind of record.

Wouldn’t surprise me if something whacky happens on the FG try… Block. Bad snap. Bad hold. It’s par for the course with this game so far.

The Bills have put themselves in a position where we have to think about other teams.

 

Bet this flag is against the Giants.

jests go 10-7 at best.
