And then an inexplicable illegal blindside block on a textbook receiver block where the basically bumped chests.
That’s the second crap flag I referenced.
Seahawks fans are good dudes. The ones on the reddit game thread are more mad about the BS penalties than the Browns fans are.
Literally don’t even understand what’s going on in the Browns game right now. Can’t help but laugh.
Right now the Browns are fighting Seattle, the refs, and themselves (or at least Kitchens).
That was the dumbest and weirdest sequence of events I can remember in a football game.
Okay, so Landry catches a pass and is extending over the goal line (he probably did so successfully and it was a TD) but he gets the ball knocked out of his hand and it goes into the end zone. The Browns recover the fumble in the end zone, which I thought was a touchdown. But the ref says “the Browns fumbled but because it was 4th down it will be returned to the spot of the fumble” and then calls 12 men on the field for seattle and half the distance to the goal.
There’s a lot of confusion and no one understand what’s going on, Kitchens is going crazy, at some point the ref has to announce “I’m explaining to the Browns coach the rule about the 4th down fumble”
Browns line up to run a 4th and 1 play on the goal line, Chubb gets an easy walk-in TD. Ohhhhhh no, Kitchens threw the flag right before the play started and iced his own kicker. They review whether Landry broke the plane. It looks like he did and it’s a TD. So of course they say the play stands and he didn’t cross the plane. Browns line up for the 4th and 1 play again and don’t make it.
I think I may be leaving out a thing or two which made it weirder.
At least Seattle botched the next punt and the Browns were able to make it all up with a TD. I would’ve been butthurt all week if not for that.
Hats off to Mayfield for playing when he’s clearly hurt. I don’t think he can be fully blamed for any of his interceptions today either.
Sometimes in a game you get one of those “WTF” just wrong ref calls that change a game and it bothers you for days.
The Browns had 4 or 5 of those today and only lost by 4 points. FFS.
Awful, bizarre officiating.
By the way if given a choice by a genie I would have rather taken a lost game but not losing Dissly. We lost him early last season too. He’s an incredible weapon and has been probably the best overall TE in the league season (and Russell’s #2 guy after Lockett). If it’s a serious ACL injury and he’s out for the year that will be an awful blow to Seattle. I hope Uncle Will isn’t that hurt.
The Cowboys are losing in the most Cowboys way possible: Getting blown out 21-6 by an inferior team (Jets,) yet also hitting a 62-yard field goal.
Rams are 0-3 going for it on 4th Down. The 49ers defense is better than even I thought.
Saints won again without Brees! Can’t wait to get him back!
They’ll get him back and lose.
Not because of him (Drew is awesome) but because football.
So, will the Chiefs win another game? Not if they don’t figure something out on defense. Mahomes is good to great, but he needs to score a TD every possession to keep up with the defense. I would like to see Reid and Mahomes running that offense against the Chiefs defense, though.
I’d bitch about the zebras and the storm of flags, but it was probably close to even.
There was one challenge of a missed PI where to my KC eyes it was at least as egregious as the NFC playoff one, but of course it wasn’t called on review. Not sure why the NFL instituted that challenge when it is basically never overturned.
My 49ers held an offense that had been averaging over 400 yards and almost 30 points to 157 yards and 7 points. 56 yards and the 7 points came on the first Rams drive. Of that isn’t total dominance, I don’t know what is.
I believe that’s called the Full Delhomme.
The Chargers seemed to be playing like it’s Week 14 and they’ve already been eliminated from the playoffs.
NFL.com is saying this is the first Redskins win in Miami ever. I know before the current scheduling system, scheduling was all over the place but that just seems odd.
The Dolphins have played Washington 15 times, and hold a 9-6-0 record. All but two of those losses occurred in Washington, the other loss which wasn’t in Washington was Super Bowl XVII which took place at the Rose Bowl.

Fun fact, the first time the two teams ever played was in Super Bowl VII in 1973, the year Miami got their perfect record.
