Re: The Official NFL Thread

Insanely close. Force me to pick and I think Detroit pulls it out, simply because they're running the ball unbelievably well and that's a lot lower variance than basically everything else. Assuming...

Re: The Official NFL Thread

Houston really came to play, though. They clearly outplayed KC in the first half and probably a little in the 3rd quarter. But the pass rush in the fourth quarter just took over, apart from that one...

Now it is. When I posted that they had 1st down just outside the red zone and had marched right down the field.

Re: The Official NFL Thread

And as I was typing that, they block the field goal, which just underscores the point.

Obviously you give some credit to Spagnuolo, too, but the fact that they were getting home without a blitz...

Re: The Official NFL Thread

If the Chiefs hang on you gotta lay this loss at the feet of the Houston offensive line. They've looked overwhelmed most of the night. KC only rushed four there and still broke free.

Wow, these throws (and catches) from Houston. This has been a really gutty, impressive drive.

Re: The Official NFL Thread

Another punt coming up, but man, both defenses really coming through when it matters.

You can see why Stroud is so exciting to some people, though. He's really close to threading the needle on...

Agreed, but with the distinction that "move the other towards us" does not necessarily mean "persuade the other closer to our position." Sometimes you move them "towards" you just by helping them to...

Wow, that pressure saved a huge play, half-second more and Wayne catches that.

Re: The Official NFL Thread

That roughing the passer penalty was pretty lame. I don't really blame the officials, it's the league's guidance designed to protect players (QBs in particular) that's mostly at fault. And I think...

Woohoo. Really happy this one got found. :)

It being a Russian film probably explains why it wasn't found sooner, too.

Re: Your Most Controversial Film Opinions?

I think after the third time someone has said they don't care about something, it's time to move on. It's reasonable to say "not caring results in X," but that's already been said. No need to beat a...
