Tom Brady.
The ageless one!

Look at the time these guys have to throw.
If only we'd focus on the trenches one year.

Once people stop criticizing the call on fourth down, maybe they will look at the throw Rodgers made on third down when he probably could have run it in, instead of forcing a fourth and long that was damn near intercepted.

And yes, passing on Kelcee sucks, but he would have done nothing here because Pete would still be breaking him into the rotation while he works on bulking up to be a better blocker.

You can make a case for going for it, but 4th and 8 after three straight failures is really asking a LOT, even of Rodgers. I liked the Puckers' chance on D, especially with the shitty throws Brady was making.

So the Chips pull out a Shotty Special, throwing a two yard pass from the four yard line on third down to a TE covered by three defenders. Then they kick a FG while chasing twelve against the Chefs. This game is over.

Anyone see Mahomes when a defender blazes at him unimpeded? He calmly steps aside and casually hits a receiver.

I always wonder why CBs do stuff that they know will be called a PI like grabbing a guys jersey. If he doesn't do that there is a good chance it is incomplete anyway.

Yep, that was a Seahawk special. Increased the chance of a successful FG from 99.3% to 99.5%.

And the Chips kick another FG on 4th and short inside the five. McDermott apparently doesn't want to be criticized if he "gambles" and loses. He's out there coaching for himself.

didn't watch the games, some interesting fg decisions...McDermott kicks a field goal in a two possession game, to make it...a two possession game. He did that to avoid being criticized? Criticized for what? That made no sense at all, try as i might, i can not come up with a contrarian defense for that wow...The Lafleur decision is more interesting. That is a Seahawk move, banking on your defense to get you the ball back. I think you have to go for the tie there, go for the TD. Of course if they were playing the hawks they would get the ball back and take it down to a nail biting chance to win it

The Bills screwed up by not kicking the extra point. Get it to 16, which is a two possession game, missing it kept it at 17, which was a three score game...and essentially over.
