The win probability chart for the KC/IND game is hilarious.
You do realize, don’t you, that this type of success is not at all unusual for a new coach/QB combo? Opposing defenses don’t have the film with which to properly game plan, and there are too many unknowns. The following year, these teams come back to reality.
Enjoy the “success”…their 6-10 2014 campaign is on the clock.
“They got lucky”
“Things Loverboy sings about.”
“We beat ourselves”
“Ummm…things self-flagellators say.”
"They weren’t better than us."
“Oh! Things whiny loser scumbags say after blowing a big game!”
<DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!>
Considering that Brees threw two bonehead INTs, and the Saints lost their best CB (and maybe best defensive player) Lewis in the 2nd half, it’s pretty rich for the Iggles to say they beat themselves!
Yeah! That’s part of why next year is going to be so interesting. One year of success like Foles this year might be a fluke. If he can pull off two years of elite QBing the Eagles have a chance to be fun to watch for a few years. They might even figure out how to get lucky and win a playoff game.
San Diego just running the ball down the throats of the Bengals. As a fan of football, it’s nice to see the running game being a big part of the game.
Both Dalton and Rivers missing wide open guys and killing drives. Not great QBing so far.
Are they reviewing the spike? Because that was the last play. I don’t think they can review the catch after a play has already been run.
Yeah I don’t understand this at all.
I’m guessing they’re saying the review was called for before the spiking of the ball, so the spike never happened (which is what the ref’s handling of the time left means). In that case, lucky damn break for the Bengals that they reviewed the call.
Why was it lucky? It was a catch. Bengals are starting to come on. If not for an untimely Giovanni Bernard fumble, it would be 14-7 instead of 10.
As as aside:
Ric Flair? Really? Is that the best the Niners could do, a guy who played a pretend sport, used performance enhancing drugs, and who can’t handle finances without cheating?
Alrighty then.
You’re right. They would have spiked the ball and had the chance to kick the field goal anyway. My bad.
I refuse to believe Gio Bernard would do such a thing.
BREAKING NEWS: Aaron Rogers downgraded to “out” after being attacked by Tully Blanchard, Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson during a pre-game warmup.
Asshole.
IIRC it was his first of the year. Burfict being hurt really sucks though.
The Four Horsemen!
Two great throws in a row by Rivers.
And the QB Without a Soul fumbles it away…
Andy Dalton’s hands just want to turn over the ball. They can’t help themselves.
But now a mysterious masked man has appeared at Lambeau Field, known only as The Midnight Double Checker…
The Ginger Rifle!
ETA: AND 15!
