Davidson Deac II

You could say the same thing about the forty whiners.

To win the majority of these close games, you need a qb with icewater in his veins, solid coaching that also keeps cool, a defense capable of making some big plays at the end of the game, and a field kicker who is clutch. We don't have any of those things right now.

So Pickett?

College format is interesting and far and away better than the NFL format. The NFL format was mostly designed during the old days, when NFL games tended to be very low scoring and dominated by defense. With the rules changes making offense easier, the OT format needs to become more modern and closer to being fair/even for both teams. Some model of the college style would be a vast improvement. But the NFL tends to be slow to adapt major changes to the game. That being said, kudos to the Bengals defense. Amazing that they kept Mahomes out of the end zone from late in the second qtr, thru the second half and one series in overtime.

Jesse Bates, former Deac, with "perhaps" the defensive play of the game.

Not sure I would say that. At qb, they are the least bad team, and that is about it. And Ryan won't be around much longer. They should have picked a QB instead of a tight end.

Its foolish to say "we" should root for anyone. If you want to pull for them, fine. If not, that is also fine. Although I think the Bengals will likely get blown out by the Chiefs, I don't really care what happens.

If we are referencing historical figures, I would prefer Suleiman the Magnificent.

I dislike the Tarheels. But I would think that if they haven't don't that well at recruiting top offensive talent, that would actually make Howell's performance more impressive. Personally, I would rather have a guy who looked great on a subpar team than a guy who looked good on a great team. The only knock I have heard on Howell so far is his height. Could be a problem, but certainly there have been great NFL qb's that have overcome that particular issue.

Even if you allow both teams to possess it once, it's still a big advantage to win the coin toss. That is why the college ot rules are superior. The chances are almost even.

He made the kick, but also missed one he should have made, plus an xp. Wasn't exactly a great game for him.

Great game. But I hate NFL overtime. The Bills should have had a chance. Coin toss decided the game.

I would say blitz Mahomes and maybe make him run around some before getting it off. But hell if I know.

Great games this weekend, and they saved the best one for last. And it ain't over.

Actually its to throw it to the guy whose defender fell down.

I haven't seen any team in the playoffs play great. Most of the games have been one mistake after another. The Rams almost became another 28-3.

Its a fun game to watch, but what a bunch of stupid mistakes by both sides.

Did the Rams watch the cowboys stupid call at the end, and say hey lets copy the cowboys?

Didn't he win last week?

Ernest Byner flashback.

Easy to say that after the game has started.

Well, they have a very good defense, and a kicker who can hit clutch fg's in the snow.

A chance yes. At this level, you always have a chance. But I think Brady and Company will score a few more points than Green Bay did.

You really think Jimmy G and company will beat Brady in Tampa? Anything could happen, but Tampa is a better team than SF.

Both number one seed/home teams lost. SF won without scoring an offensive td. For all the talk about Burrow and Rogers, it was the defense that won it for Cincy, and the defense/special teams for SF that beat Rogers and Green Bay.
