***Week 14 Late Games Thread 2018***

[tk13]

Several games with AFC playoff race implications going on this afternoon, plus an important NFC East game.

LAC vs CIN
SF vs DEN
OAK vs PIT

DAL vs PHI
ARI vs DET

Sunday Night Football: CHI vs LAR

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Not a late game, but just wanted to lol at Gronk. Slowest non-OL on the field on defense! Brilliant!

[eDave]

Lions/Cards is like a turtle race after our game.

[Easy 6]

Eagles at Cowboys here... blechhh

[tk13]

Pittsburgh and Denver have yet to wake up playing on the road so far. Still a long way to go.

[Coach]

Really hope the Bungels can get something going....

[tk13]

Niners with an 85 yard TD to add to their lead over Denver, 13-0.

[Frazod]

TOUCHDOWN BENGALS!

[tk13]

Jeff Driskel showing off the wheels. TD Bengals.

[Frazod]

Sure would be a beautiful thing if the Dolts got caught looking ahead today.

[Mosbonian]

Sure would be a beautiful thing if the Dolts got caught looking ahead today.

Would make the Thursday night game a bit anti-climactic.....

[tk13]

Well wait a minute. TD overturned. That's an interesting call. Not sure about that. Bengals have 4th down.

[Frazod]

No touchdown. And then the Bungles jump on 4th down and end up having to attempt a field goal. Dickbags. 4321

[tk13]

And a false start pushes them back. Bengals have to settle for a FG.

Arians says it's the "dumbest thing I've ever heard" LMAO

[petegz28]

Ref's stepping in to help LAC...

How the fuck that wasn't rules a TD is beyond me.....it's flat out bullshit cheating if you ask me

[ThaVirus]

Kittle's already got 180 yards and there's still like 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

He could break a record today.

[kjwood75nro]

Well wait a minute. TD overturned. That's an interesting call. Not sure about that. Bengals have 4th down.Sure looked like the ball broke the leading edge of the white line.

[Frazod]

Bungles got hosed on that play.

Welcome to the NFL's Los Angeles.

[The Iron Chief]

I'm starting to lose track..
Do we want this yrs Pats to come thru Arrowhead or the Steelers or Colts or...

I still twitch thinking of the Colts beating us at home...

[cdcox]

Brilliant new rule by the NFL.

[petegz28]

I wanna know how the QB was giving himself up?

[BlackOp]

Refs just took off a TD...Chargers getting controversial calls for the 4th straight week. That was total horseshit..

[tk13]

Sure looked like the ball broke the leading edge of the white line.

Saying he "gave himself up," which is crazy. He was trying to score. If that happened to us it would be a total meltdown.

[petegz28]

That's 3 games now the Ref's have royally fucked the other team to allow for or prevent a TD against the LAC's

[Frazod]

NFL's new theme song:

[BlackOp]

Ref's stepping in to help LAC...

How the **** that wasn't rules a TD is beyond me.....it's flat out bullshit cheating if you ask me

NFL corporate in NYC overturned it...go figure. Annoucers were positive it was a TD...nope.

Diving for a touchdown is now giving yourself up?...just make that shit up as you go NFL.

[Bump]

damn 179 yards for Kittle already? wow, let's go 9ers!

[DrunkBassGuitar]

Expect some ref shenanigans on Thursday night

[Frazod]

Expect some ref shenanigans on Thursday night

Big time. They're going to go in dry on us.

[highBOLTage]

Can someone watching the Chargers game rewind and see if Driskel's helmet was touched as he was going down? Looked to me like it was grazed, so, he would be down regardless of "giving up' interpretation.

[kjwood75nro]

Saying he "gave himself up," which is crazy. He was trying to score. If that happened to us it would be a total meltdown.Seems like one of our QB opponents this season scored exactly like that, and there was discussion about the "giving up" rule.

Can't remember who it was.

[petegz28]

Starting to become obvious the league wants an LA v. LA Super Bowl

[ThaVirus]

Starting to become obvious the league wants an LA v. LA Super Bowl

Stop fucking crying, dude. It's pathetic.

[tk13]

Chargers went with an empty backfield on 3rd and 1 and paid for it.

[petegz28]

Stop ****ing crying, dude. It's pathetic.

Yeah, the blatant bullshit officiating in multiple games that involve an LA team is all a figment of our imagination....

[RINGLEADER]

Steelers looking pathetic in Oakland.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Yeah, the blatant bullshit officiating in multiple games that involve an LA team is all a figment of our imagination....

You should try to not bitch about every single god damn thing for just 1 day.

[Easy 6]

I'd like to know what happened to the Eagles

They have to be the worst reigning champs of all time

[ILChief]

TD Bengals

[Imon Yourside]

Chargers give up a Td with 20 secs, miss the 2 pt conversion 14-12 chargers near half.

[TribalElder]

fieldgoal fest in dallas

what a shitty game of the week

I don't get why they highlight the cowgirls so much

[RINGLEADER]

Too early to go for two -- Bengals get stuffed on the extra try.

[Imon Yourside]

Need these Chargers to get banged up and goto overtime at least.

[BlackOp]

They only reason the Bengals arent winning is directly attributed to the officials...they literally removed points.

[GloucesterChief]

I'd like to know what happened to the Eagles

They have to be the worst reigning champs of all time

Everything fell into place for them last year. Lots of luck. Just like the Broncos in Mannings final year.

[Rain Man]

Our friends in Cincinnati and Oakland are working hard for us. I send my emissaries with gifts to their fine cities.

[petegz28]

Rivers sacked? No, flag let's give you a shot...

[staylor26]

Kittle over 200 JFC

[Imon Yourside]

Fucking chargers get a 59 yard fg to end the half.

[CupidStunt]

Broncos are being outgained 304 yards to 66.

To the Nick Mullens-led 2-10 49ers.

Bwahahahahahaha.

[Imon Yourside]

Rivers sacked? No, flag let's give you a shot...

Guy was offside

[tk13]

As far as I can tell I think Shannon Sharpe has the record for yards by a tight end with 214. Kittle almost has that in the first half.

[ThaVirus]

I'd like to know what happened to the Eagles

They have to be the worst reigning champs of all time

They were stacked top to bottom last year. I really thought they'd have a great chance of repeating, but everyone outside of Fletcher's Cox has regressed.

[highBOLTage]

Rivers sacked? No, flag let's give you a shot...
Cause it wasn't any obvious offsides?

No one able to rewatch the Driskel play to see if his helmet was touched?

[BlackOp]

Rivers sacked? No, flag let's give you a shot...

Nah...that was legit...unlike removing the TD.

[rabblerouser]

Phillysucks.

[lcarus]

Bengals staying close with the Chargers. That'd be some shit if Pats, Texans and Chargers all lost

[tk13]

They were stacked top to bottom last year. I really thought they'd have a great chance of repeating, but everyone outside of Fletcher's Cox has regressed.

I jokingly made the comment last year after they won the Super Bowl, watch them not get back next year... but they might not even make the playoffs at this rate.

It's funny how that works. Win it all with Foles and now they're struggling with Wertz but that's how it goes. Have to strike when you get your chance.

[rabblerouser]

Starting to become obvious the league wants an LA v. LA Super Bowl

NFL.COM picked Rams vs Chargers as SB faves in the preseason...

[ThaVirus]

I jokingly made the comment last year after they won the Super Bowl, watch them not get back next year... but they might not even make the playoffs at this rate.

It's funny how that works. Win it all with Foles and now they're struggling with Wertz but that's how it goes. Have to strike when you get your chance.

They did. It was truly a magical run for the city.

At this point, if you told me we'd have a guaranteed Super Bowl win this year but look how the Eagles do right now the season after, I think I'd take it.

[Easy 6]

They were stacked top to bottom last year. I really thought they'd have a great chance of repeating, but everyone outside of Fletcher's Cox has regressed.

Did they lose some key pieces, I honestly dont know for sure but cant really remember any major personnel losses... and yes, Wentz has definitely regressed, he doesnt look the same at all

[Easy 6]

Kittle over 200 JFC

Just watched the clip of his 85 yarder, and I'm convinced he is even faster than Kelce

[RealSNR]

You know, I kind of hope Denver comes back and wins so Elway keeps Vance Joseph or at least has to fire another head coach who puts out a winning season

[tk13]

Bengals go for it on 4th down and give it to the Chargers on their side of the field.

[eDave]

3-0, Cards. At half. Against the Lions.

[RunKC]

We win, Pats lose, Texans lose and Broncos are getting waxed by a backup.

Best day ever

[Easy 6]

3-0, Cards. At half. Against the Lions.

Sorry 'bout your luck out there, what a shitbag matchup :shake:

[ThaVirus]

Did they lose some key pieces, I honestly dont know for sure but cant really remember any major personnel losses... and yes, Wentz has definitely regressed, he doesnt look the same at all

They're really banged up right now, but that's no excuse.

Last season they lost Jason Peters, Darren Sproles and Carson Wentz and still won the chip. Peters and Sproles are future Hall of Famers and Wentz was having an MVP season.

[Frazod]

Rapistburger knocked out of the $tealer$/Fade game.

[CupidStunt]

For anyone curious or unaware, KC will still be leading the division even if the Chargers beat us. The tiebreaker after H2H (which would be 1-1) is division record. Chargers would then play BAL, pretty tough game, and at Denver.

I expect us to just beat them, but even if not, the odds are still in favor of us winning the division. We'd have to lose, probably at Seattle, AND they'd have to go 2-0.

[Frazod]

If the Chargers play the way they're playing today against Baltimore, they'll lose.

[Easy 6]

This cowboys game is such a steaming turd, Rams @ Bears cant get here soon enough

[petegz28]

The irony of a team playing the Chargers being called for a false start....

[eDave]

5 perfect pelts... BAM. Shot dead. Again.

[Beef Supreme]

This Cowboys Eagles game is balls.

[petegz28]

For anyone curious or unaware, KC will still be leading the division even if the Chargers beat us. The tiebreaker after H2H (which would be 1-1) is division record. Chargers would then play BAL, pretty tough game, and at Denver.

Right but then we have to win out assuming the Chargers win out. And considering the way the Refs coddle them I'd say if they beat us they will win out

[bdj23]

What is wrong with the eagles offense?

[Easy 6]

Dak got dicked, nearly a pick 6

[RedRaider56]

and just like that Dak gets Philly back in the game

[Frazod]

Fade got raped on a bad non-reversal.

[srvy]

haha dac misses wide open receiver for near pick 6.

[JakeF]

Prescott is a HOF quarterback, i sure wish we would have drafted him.














:)

[RINGLEADER]

Driscoll is outplaying Rivers at the moment.

Mahomes is going to carve San Diego up like a Thanksgiving Day turkey...

[PHOG]

Missed the XP

[eDave]

Fitz just broke Jerry Rice's record. Wasted with the Cards.

[eDave]

Commentators are stroking off Rosen. Promptly throws a pick 6.

[NJChiefsFan]

Don't tease me Cincy. Within striking distance.

[Frazod]

Don't tease me Cincy. Within striking distance.

They've really clamped down since giving up those two early scores.

[New World Order]

Don't tease me Cincy. Within striking distance.

I know.

I don't want to get my hopes up. So I won't.

[NJChiefsFan]

If the Chargers don't score on this drive I'll start to creep up to the edge of my seat. Right now my feet are still up.

[Frazod]

Damn, great throw by Carr just now.

[NJChiefsFan]

Do we even want PIT to lose this game?

[JakeF]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumble


:)

[srvy]

Dac sacked and stripped lol.

[NJChiefsFan]

Cincy didn't waste any time on that.

[RedRaider56]

dak giving the game to Philly..LOL

[NJChiefsFan]

Does Dak have money on the Eagles?

[petegz28]

Refs stepping in for Pit

[Frazod]

And Carr just fumbled a nice drive away.

[petegz28]

LMAO Carr just fumbled without anyone touching him....

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm sure it's been said but Marvin Lewis is such an idiot, along with the other coaches who chase points before they have to. Not taking the XP earlier could really bite them.

[CaliforniaChief]

LMAO Carr just fumbled without anyone touching him....

His tears and running mascara made the ball slippery.

[CaliforniaChief]

What is Marvin using the walkie-talkie to call in a drone strike? Assuming the headset isn't working?

[petegz28]

So what was a fumble for Oakland is not a fumble for Pit...yeah, sure, no bias

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Brilliant situational football by the Eagles. Call a pick play on 4th and short. Make them call it. Even if they do, you can still pin them deep with a nice punt. They didn't call it.

[petegz28]

It's a fucking fumble but Pit....Refs aren't about to let the Steelers lose to Oakland

[Frazod]

At this point, I think it's better for us if the $tealer$ win. They falter enough and Baltimore could still take the division.

And I really, really don't want to see the Ravens again.

[TribalElder]

It's a ****ing fumble but Pit....Refs aren't about to let the Steelers lose to Oakland

Can you stop? Every other post. I noticed you didn't say a word when the Chargers had a DPI go against them.

[CaliforniaChief]

Although the next time we would see Baltimore, we'd have Eric Berry, possibly LDT, Watkins, and Benjamin for what that's worth.

[Frazod]

Oakalnd just got fucked..don't ever tell me the league isn't biased

Heh. Well, the football gods just made up for it. LMAO

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Oakalnd just got ****ed..don't ever tell me the league isn't biased

ok

[TribalElder]

the league needs gruden to draft a good QB so we can watch battles for the next decade

[NJChiefsFan]

Oakalnd just got ****ed..don't ever tell me the league isn't biased

You are only seeing what you want to see. Chiefs got tons of help today when it was predicted they wouldn't. Make your point but you don't have to 30 times. There is no point in even having discussions in this thread if that's how you feel.

[petegz28]

Heh. Well, the football gods just made up for it. LMAO

Poetic justice..not that I am a Raiders fan but .....

[NJChiefsFan]

Cincy down 8 with 5 to play. I would have signed up for that happily before the day started.

[Frazod]

Although the next time we would see Baltimore, we'd have Eric Berry, possibly LDT, Watkins, and Benjamin for what that's worth.

When it comes to Watkins, and especially Berry, I'll believe it when I see it.

Berry could very well last about a quarter and be out again.

[petegz28]

You are only seeing what you want to see. Chiefs got tons of help today when it was predicted they wouldn't. Make your point but you don't have to 30 times. There is no point in even having discussions in this thread if that's how you feel.

Tons of help? Like illegal contact not being called on Baltimore? Or roughing the passer??? Yeah, tons of help.

[Rain Man]

I bet we get called for 25 penalties against the Chargers on Thursday. And that's just on the kickoff.

[CaliforniaChief]

Bengals on the move...

[petegz28]

I bet we get called for 25 penalties against the Chargers on Thursday. And that's just on the kickoff.

Chargers are good for at least 1 false start that results in a TD

[NJChiefsFan]

Tons of help? Like illegal contact not being called on Baltimore? Or roughing the passer??? Yeah, tons of help.

One of the biggest calls of the game was the OPI on Crabtree. If KC scores on that possession they win and Baltimore conspiracy folks claim it wasn't called because of Mahomes.

If the NFL REALLY wanted BAL to win they could have called DPI on the last play, even though it would have been wrong. They wouldn't have called 2 holds on BAL on the last possession.

They would have found a block in the back on the Dolphins return.

My problem is you guys don't acknowledge when things go against your theory, and it takes away and credibility you would have.

[Frazod]

Great run by Mixon!

Who said they wanted Baltimore to win? Please STFU

[NJChiefsFan]

Anybody ready for the horrific 2 point conversion the Bengals have prepared here?

[RINGLEADER]

About to see the reason why you don't go for 2 in the first half in the Charger game...

[CaliforniaChief]

Carr is NOT good on the move. Wow.

[RINGLEADER]

Anybody ready for the horrific 2 point conversion the Bengals have prepared here?

Exactly...lol...

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Bengals needed to at least try to score before the 2-minute warning.

[NJChiefsFan]

Who said they wanted Baltimore to win? Please STFU

The biggest conspiracy guy on this site, blackops. That brings up a great point though. Some think the Ravens result proves a conspiracy, others don't. It just creates a storm where any and every result can be twisted in the refs being biased.

[petegz28]

Drew Lock to the NY Giants?

[RINGLEADER]

Bengals needed to at least try to score before the 2-minute warning.

Hopefully they pick it up.

The Chargers are weak...

[New World Order]

CMON CINCI

[petegz28]

Please STFU..I said please....so STFU

[CaliforniaChief]

Bengals needed to at least try to score before the 2-minute warning.

Exactly! With only 2 timeouts left, a little hustle gives them a sliver of hope if they score but don't convert.

[petegz28]

Hopefully they pick it up.

The Chargers are weak...

How about they get the TD first?

[RINGLEADER]

Chargers trying to give the game away.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Tons of help? Like illegal contact not being called on Baltimore? Or roughing the passer??? Yeah, tons of help.

Pete, you're insane. The Chiefs were beneficiaries of favorable reffing today, but you think anything short of the Montreal Screwjob being done to the other team indicates the refs hate the Chiefs.

[ChiefGator]

Let's go Bengals and Raiders!

[NJChiefsFan]

Penalty helps the Bengals. The fix is in.

[petegz28]

Bengals need 2 to tie or SD dodges yet another loss...

[Frazod]

TOUCHDOWN BUNGLES!

[RINGLEADER]

Here we go...

What a weekend it would be if the Chargers lose...lol

[Rain Man]

I hope Cincy goes for two.

[ChiefGator]

HUGE 2-point conversion upcoming for Bengals.

[NJChiefsFan]

Please STFU..I said please....so STFU

You're the one that cried for 3 pages straight so technically I asked first. Although I didn't say please like you did.

[Coach]

I hope Cincy goes for two.

They're gonna have to.

[Frazod]

Well, shit.

[ChiefGator]

DOH!

[petegz28]

Game...dumb fuck just held the ball....Chargers have dodged some bullets this season

[New World Order]

FUCK

[NJChiefsFan]

No throw. Even worse attempt than I was imagining.

[tk13]

There's the tape that'll be shown why you don't chase points in the first half.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Wait a minute, I thought the NFL wants the Chargers to win? How could they call holding in that situation? LMAO

[RINGLEADER]

Holy crap can a team have a worst 2-point play in their playbook?

If you're not even going to throw the damn ball just run with it...lol

Marvin Lewis is an idiot. I can't believe he's stuck there for so long...

[Coach]

Not getting the game here. How many timeouts does Cincinnati have?

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

LMAO. Barely get it off and take a sack.

NO NEED FOR MIXON

[Frazod]

About to see the reason why you don't go for 2 in the first half in the Charger game...

This :shake:

[NJChiefsFan]

Had the inside slot guy if he wasn't locked in on 1 guy for 30 seconds.

[ChiefGator]

Jeff Driskel man... just bad.

[Mosbonian]

Even if they tied it by making the 2 point conversion, it still would be enough time for the Chargers to drive for a winning FG.

[Rain Man]

That stinks.

I hope Cincy goes for an onside kick.

[ChiefGator]

Bengals have 2 timeouts

[petegz28]

LMAO. Barely get it off and take a sack.

NO NEED FOR MIXON

Yeah I don't get that play call at all...

[RINGLEADER]

Game...dumb **** just held the ball....Chargers have dodged some bullets this season

Easily could have lost against the Niners, Titans, and Seahawks. Not to mention today.

Could easily be a 6-6 team right now.

[DRM08]

We've had some miracles today with the Dolphins/Pats and Chiefs/Ravens. Maybe we'll get another one from the Bengals at the end.

[NJChiefsFan]

Wait a minute, I thought the NFL wants the Chargers to win? How could they call holding in that situation? LMAO

Shh. Near as I can figure those plays are supposed to be ignored.

[petegz28]

That stinks.

I hope Cincy goes for an onside kick.

They just about have too...

[NJChiefsFan]

Easily could have lost against the Niners, Titans, and Seahawks. Not to mention today.

Could easily be a 6-6 team right now.

How many 2 point conversions have they dodged? Was the Seattle game one was well? I can't even keep track. I know the Titans and obviously this game were.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

The Chargers aren't shit. They barely beat a garbage ass team we fucking murdered. With Jeff fucking Driskell starting. LMAO

[CaliforniaChief]

This is all on Lewis.

Chasing the 2 unnecessarily, not having the team in hurry-up prior to the 2 minute warning, and THAT call. What was that?

He must have naked pictures of someone powerful to still be a HC in the league. Dude's indestructible.

[RINGLEADER]

Ekeler hurt.

[Frazod]

:facepalm:

[petegz28]

Barring a miracle LAC wins...

[Pasta Little Brioni]

What a dumbfuck move on that first half two pointer

[tk13]

Pete, you're insane. The Chiefs were beneficiaries of favorable reffing today, but you think anything short of the Montreal Screwjob being done to the other team indicates the refs hate the Chiefs.

The hilarious thing is if you go read the NFL's facebook page... they make posts about the Chiefs today and like 50% of the comments are from opposing fans complaining about how the officials are in our pockets and we get the good calls.

All the other fans think we have the officials in our pocket because we have a star QB. It's hilarious because it's 100% bizarro world from this place.

[RINGLEADER]

How many 2 point conversions have they dodged? Was the Seattle game one was well? I can't even keep track. I know the Titans and obviously this game were.

Titans went for 2 to win.

Seattle they got a pick-6 in the fourth quarter that was questionable.

[NJChiefsFan]

What's the onside kick percentage this year? It's lower with the new rule but it seems incredibly low.

[ThaVirus]

Nice pass by Dak.

Cooper's made a big difference in Dallas. Took their offense from absolute garbage to league average.

[petegz28]

This is all on Lewis.

Chasing the 2 unnecessarily, not having the team in hurry-up prior to the 2 minute warning, and THAT call. What was that?

He must have naked pictures of someone powerful to still be a HC in the league. Dude's indestructible.

Agreed, unlike some people on here, (Hamas), chasing the points early cost them

[NJChiefsFan]

Sadly that onside kick was still better than the 2 point conversion.

[RINGLEADER]

It's like the Bengals don't even practice 2-point conversions or onside kicks...

[TwistedChief]

I'll trade Austin Ekeler for the onside kick recovery if Gordon isn't playing on Thursday.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Cooper's performance in Dallas is a huge indictment of both Carr and Gruden.

[CaliforniaChief]

Also, I wouldn't have onside kicked. Seriously. The conversion rate on these is awful...you just have to hold them 3 and out, and with the 2 time outs they could have bled about a minute off the clock. Leaves you 50 seconds or so just needing a field goal.

[NJChiefsFan]

The math does say you are more likely to win if you go for 2 but that's if you are down 14 in the 4th when you take 2 point conversion % and OT % into account. I don't know that analytics says to go for 2 in the first half though.

[RINGLEADER]

So we need Cincy to make another stop.

The Chargers to miss the FG.

Cincy to drive 30-40 yards

Kick the winning field goal.

[NJChiefsFan]

Also, I wouldn't have onside kicked. Seriously. The conversion rate on these is awful...you just have to hold them 3 and out, and with the 2 time outs they could have bled about a minute off the clock. Leaves you 50 seconds or so just needing a field goal.

My thought process is that even if you don't get the onside kick a stop keeps you in the game. Then you can win with either a recovery or a stop, although the stop is likely to need a TD. Then again it is LA.

[CaliforniaChief]

My thought process is that even if you don't get the onside kick a stop keeps you in the game. Then you can win with either a recovery or a stop, although the stop is likely to need a TD. Then again it is LA.

You just give up a ton of field position or even a field goal by doing it.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Agreed, unlike some people on here, (Hamas), chasing the points early cost them

Which you only bring up if the team doesn't make it. How did going for two hurt the Saints today?

You realize that the Pats missing an XP in the first quarter ensued their defeat today, or are you talking out of your ass again?

[NJChiefsFan]

Rivers is so slow. And was he trying to stop the clock AGAIN in another situation like this?

[Frazod]

Bungles have a chance.

It's a shitty chance, but it's a chance.

[NJChiefsFan]

You just give up a ton of field position or even a field goal by doing it.

Oh I hear you. Advantage being you sneak in a chance to recover the kick. I can be sold on either approach depending on your defense and offense.

[RINGLEADER]

Cincy can't pull the trigger on a 2-yard extra-point pass. Can't see him winging it for the win.

[NJChiefsFan]

Chargers making kicks today. Might actually be why they win.

[CaliforniaChief]

Arians is so stupid! LMAO

Uh kick the field goal.

[NJChiefsFan]

I'll say it again, if you gave me this option this morning I'd sign up for this situation, even if it is unlikely.

[CaliforniaChief]

What world are we living in where I'm more concerned about our kicker than the Chargers' kicker?

[petegz28]

Chargers making kicks today. Might actually be why they win.

And the fact the Refs ass fucked Cinci out of a TD but you know....

[Rain Man]

Bungles have a chance.

It's a shitty chance, but it's a chance.

This is a week of greatness. They'll pull it off.

[NJChiefsFan]

And the fact the Refs ass ****ed Cinci out of a TD but you know....

I'm with you on that being a horrific call, I just think the refs suck. But at this point we aren't going to change each others minds.

[Frazod]

Stupid Bungles. 4321

Keystone Cops opponent saves the Chargers again.

I can't wait to eliminate them on Thursday...

[Rain Man]

Speaking of which, Oakland just pulled ahead of Pittsburgh. I love this week.

[petegz28]

Chargers win their 3rd game and second consecutive game of Ref assisted scoring...

[Tnerped]

Bungles are such garbage.

[TribalElder]

Bears Rams tonight, that should be good

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The math does say you are more likely to win if you go for 2 but that's if you are down 14 in the 4th when you take 2 point conversion % and OT % into account. I don't know that analytics says to go for 2 in the first half though.

It does. Go down to the final graph which indexes choice against remaining time

Takes a sack. Throws the ball in bounds. Doesn't get the snap off. That is epic.

[CaliforniaChief]

Cincy. LMAO

[RINGLEADER]

Steelers losing to the Raiders...lol

[DRM08]

Well at least the Chargers had to earn that win.

[MMXcalibur]

Chiefs/Chargers on Thursday.
Top two records in the conference.
The AFC West...nay, the AFC up for grabs.

Seriously, you can make an argument right now that we aren't 2 or 3 games ahead of LAC because of Ref's not calling false starts or for some reason, saying a QB running for a TD gave himself up at the one as he dove for the goal line....

[Tnerped]

It'll be nice exploiting that trash LA team and showing just how overrated they actually are.

Refs are still human and we're prone to make mistakes. Sure sometimes it might seem they're being blatant about something, but that may not even be the case. In all honestly, it doesn't really even matter because KC is going to put up a 50 burger on those frauds.

Nice breakdowns and graphs. I've read a lot about 2nd half stuff, but not a lot about the beginning of the game.

[CaliforniaChief]

Big Ben with his Paul Pierce act coming up...

Yep, two consecutive games the refs handed the Chargers the game...they are imposters.

That TD was called a TD and reversed from NFL corporate in NYC.

I would be fucking livid if that my team...

[petegz28]

Right on cue, Refs step in to bail out Pit

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Raiders have been playing people tough

[CaliforniaChief]

Right on cue, Refs step in to bail out Pit

Do you like Iowa State Basketball?

Do you like Iowa State Basketball?

Don't watch it....

[RINGLEADER]

Great coaching by Gruden on this drive...

[tk13]

Wow. Eagles tie it. First play the other way, Cowboys score to retake the lead. Dak to Cooper deep.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Gruden is a fucking mong.

[NJChiefsFan]

Cooper sure is balling.

[RINGLEADER]

I thought that was a pick.

[Frazod]

Rapistburger lucks out. That pass should have been picked.

[siberian khatru]

Maybe Cooper was worth a first

[CaliforniaChief]

Rapistburger lucks out. That pass should have been picked.

Yes it should have.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Gruden is a ****ing mong.

What happened?

[Chiefs=Champions]

Raiders fucked up trading cooper

[Rain Man]

Stupid Steelers. Come on, Raiders.

(Now sticking my finger down my throat to induce vomiting.)

[petegz28]

Glad Cooper is in Dallas and not Oakland...

[tk13]

The Eagles come right back with a 70+ yard TD, but it's called back with a questionable OPI call.

[petegz28]

Flags save Dallas...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Now THAT is an atrocious call, Pete.

[CaliforniaChief]

God bless Alshon Jeffery...makes a great effort, comes up just short, and instead of bitching for PI, he just runs back to the huddle.

[petegz28]

wha a weak fucking call...WOW!

[CaliforniaChief]

Cowboys playing pinball with Goedert's head.

[Chiefs=Champions]

That's one of the worst calls ive seen.

[siberian khatru]

What an obscene call

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Eagles robbed

[NJChiefsFan]

That was a horrible call. Roughing coming up now.

[tk13]

LMAO Then they hit the Cowboys with a terrible roughing the passer call.

[MMXcalibur]

Jerry Jones is wanting this game.
I wonder how much he paid for that shitty call

[petegz28]

NFL has an interest in making money. They want the big market teams like Pit and Dallas in. And they are desperate to make football in LA stick for not one but now two teams.
