i think the thing to keep in mind is their head coach is currently only an interim, with all the 4th down attempts coaches are being more attacking, my thought is he wanted to play to win rather than tie, not saying it was right but i can understand why he did it.

as for the timeout, i've seen that it was due to them wanting the right players on the field as they felt the raiders were going to run the ball, problem is they did and got into field goal range, so perhaps they didn't get the right people on :D

with 2 point conversions, i've no issue with them at the end of the game to win it instead of going into OT, or to make it a one score game in the 4th quarter, but early on it makes as much sense as trying 4th down and 6 on your own 15.

I wanted the game to end in a tie so the steelers get eliminated it would have been funny

I thought it quite odd. There's a risk in kicking that FG, taking a knee was less risk... I think if I was a Chargers fan I'd be annoyed. Mind you, I think when they had the ball on the Raiders 20 with 5 mins left, they threw two incompletions. I would have already been playing for the draw at that point, run the ball twice, kick the FG and give the ball back with 2:30 left. If you're the Raiders, surely you then just run the clock out? Also, why did the Chargers take that timeout? Just seems some bad leadership decisions cost them...

A bit like those two Ravens games they lost because they failed two point conversions earlier in the year.

I believe it is conference record where it is 9-3 vs. 8-4. Only Dallas could have overhauled them with a better conference record but unfortunately were a game win behind after week 17 results and therefore GB got the week off 2 weeks running.
 
Just seen the weather forecast for the Bills wildcard game on Saturday.. I thought 4 wasn't too cold until I realised it was Fahrenheit which is about -15C!! The forecast even says limited outdoor activity recommended. :cry: At least the wind is a lot less than the last time we faced the Pats so hopefully Josh can cope with it better than Jones.

so how many do we reckon will go with short sleeves to show how tough they are ? :D
 
First ever perfect offensive game in history by the Bills, pretty incredible.

Niners might sneak a win or two but they have the capacity to get absolutely thumped also. Once that happens I'm all in on Bills, Allen is great.
 
Yeh, it was pretty impressive and doubly sweet as it was against the Pats. I thought we'd beat them, but I didn't think it would be by that big a margin. After going off the rails in the middle of the season I was starting to have my doubts, but things seem to be coming together now, we've got a healthy squad and we appear to have worked on our weaknesses. I'm hoping for a Steelers win tonight so we get the Bengals at home in the next round, rather than having to face KC away.
 
I realise it's not actually football, but have US adverts got worse? I remember thinking about 10 years ago that US ads were less annoying than UK ads and generally a bit more clever and often quite funny. Jeez they're annoying at the moment.

Squeegy? Mate, why are you in a gas station if you're not getting gas?!

That Gieco one with the bikers? What?

The people dancing around the Toyota(?) Cross? Why would that make people buy your car?

All the turbotax ads (although I quite like the 'I'm a millionaire' crypto one)

Watching it on Sky, I actually miss the US adverts! It just doesn't have the same feeling. The adverts are absolute trash though. Go Bills! :D
 
Damn, I hate the OT rules. Just feels like the entire season has come down to a coin toss. However, we should never have let them get 50 yards in 13 seconds to get a FG to force OT in the first place! :(
 
What an amazing game! I do agree, I think the OT rules still aren't very good. I was definitely pulling for the Bills as I'd like to see someone else make it further and as you say, it felt like it came down to a coin toss. Also, as you say some will suggest they shouldn't have let them go 50 yards in 13 seconds, but that was only so they could tie, it shouldn't mean they get handed the win on a silver platter! I personally think maybe do something like college OT?
 
Can't believe Bills didn't make Chiefs return the kick after their TD. Would have used up time and not give Mahomes the full 13 seconds or whatever it was. Mad decision to kick it out.

Great game though. Have to feel for Allen and the Bills.
 
By now, I should have watched enough of Everton and the Bills to know not to get excited about sport! We've broken the Pats hoodoo and seem to have started a new one with KC.
 
Great games again... Lots of drama.

Takeaways - Jimmy's last game for 49ers?? I just don't think he's good enough for that team - too many mistakes, hugely potent offence but lacking a real quality QB.....

Kupp for MVP?? Surely - amazing season and looks better and better every game.

Mahomes - too many mistakes/bad decisions - He needs to stop with the attitude that he can carry them himself. Far too many times - should have thrown the ball away last night and he took huge losses instead. Yes the Bengals played him well but he needs to throw it away / take the easy option sometimes.

Burrows - star in the making 100% - cool as you like, seems like a very down to earth guy.... Looks unflappable at the moment no matter the score/situation. Rooting for him and Bengals to win Superbowl.....

Great season and hoping for a great end in a couple of weeks.
 
Some great games this weekend and I don’t think anyone will disagree with the results or think the other team was cheated out of a win.

Hoping for a Rams win so Stafford can finally get a ring. He deserved the NFC championship and want him to get it all. As a Lions fan it’s good to know he was good enough and it was always just the overall team that couldn’t do it….
