Drew Magary got into some unknown accident and Deadspin is being super tight lipped about it. This concerns me greatly.

My first thought is that his back's hosed up again, I'll never forget the bit in this where he mentioned the slipped disc had "the consistency of crab meat"

Also right after that:

None of that changes the fact that I have three degenerating discs in my spine, all stacked on top of one another, and that one false move will cause them to collapse once more, leaving me in complete loving agony. I know deep in my heart that Monday's surgery was most certainly not my last.

Second. The current OT rules are pretty much perfect. Stop a TD, get a TD, you win the game. It's almost like football.

so are the Chiefs the only team whose offense hasn't been thoroughly embarrassed yet? like I know yesterday wasn't a great performance (it's kinda nuts that 27 points is enough to count as a down game) but it wasn't anywhere near the level of Rams/Bears or Saints/Cowboys


e: I mean of the three Offensive Juggernauts this year. obviously the Chargers and Steelers haven't caught whoopings like those yet, but their offenses aren't talked about in the same way (although maybe the Chargers should be)

Idk, the Steelers are at like 80% RZ efficiency right now, but their defense is still so bad that they've given up 5 TDs with under 2min to go so far this season. It's just that Roethlisberger has bailed them out of 2 of the 5 (Jax & Cinci)

Best team is the Saints by a notch over the Rams. Then Chiefs. Cowboys might be secretly high and are maybe #4. Then Chargers are 5th.

All I know is the Chiefs idea of a slow day on offense is 27 points and 400 yards against the best defense in the league. What's the Saints' analogue, again? 10 points and barely 200 yards.

both offenses and defenses on the field at the same time. offenses start at the goal line. unlimited downs, no clock, turnover brings the ball back to the goal line, first team to cross the fifty wins

100% and frankly they may not be the only ones anymore. This gutless pathetic team is going to get embarrassed each of the next two weeks

By the time the Steelers get done playing the Patriots and the Saints they will likely have lost 5 in a row and be 7-7-1 :wow:

The Mahomes pass is only a no-look pass if you think NFL QBs have the same vision cone as an NPC in a bad stealth game

His eyes were looking forward not to the right, yes he used his peripheral vision to mark the receiver and threw the ball without looking at him. This is very hard to do, as evidenced by the fact that no one else has ever even tried to do it. It's amazing and you sir are a basic bitch repeating some dumb NPC "joke" that you read somewhere on the itnernet

Salvor_Hardin posted:

Better FG challenge option:

Do a coin flip. Winning team has to call out a FG distance. The opposing team can accept or defer. If they accept they kick the FG for the win or loss. If they defer the original team has to kick it.

The teams are placed on eight fields connected together in a figure 8 pattern. Each offense and defense simultaneously starts on the outside of each curve and when they meet in the middle the teams play through each other, and offensive players can switch to defense in this area of the field in order to try to load up and force a turnover. Or defenders can switch to offense to give them a man advantage (but this leaves your other phase outnumbered so it must be used strategically). Downs are unlimited, plays are run by both teams simultaneously so each will get the same amount,, turnovers set you back 70 yards and the first team to make a complete revolution of the track wins.

Dallas has a really good defense this year but I also think they'd get waxed by anybody in the WC round. Their o-line is pretty banged up and none of their receivers aside for Amari are that good. Garrett still sucks also.

Philip Rivers balled out that game and probably deserved to win.

I consider any return TD that Tyreek Hill scores as part of the offense tbh.

Finger Prince posted:

I just mean it didn't win them the game, like the Miami one did, and only would have forced overtime if Boswell made the kick. It was an amazing play, and I can see it or something like it being used in normal play to get a much needed first down, now that I've seen how it works in last second heroics.

The hook and lateral is a play I could see being safe enough to try now and then during normal gameplay, and there's a reason it's been around forever. But I think the main reason you don't see it except at the end of games is because a 7 yard hook is a pretty positive play for the offense and they're willing to just take that most of the time if it's the middle of the second quarter or whatever.

I guess if you ran it too often defenses would gameplan for it and rally to any trailing back or receiver. Then you're trusting the judgement of the receiver as to whether to risk the pitch or not, which probably isn't a thing most coaches would like.

It was special teams.

But then I consider that TD KC scored after we muffed a punt inside the 5 to be special teams points too, so potato potahto.

If you replaced the Bears offense with all defensive players, they would put up more points than the Saints in a playoff game. What I'm trying to say is the Bears D is better than your teams O.
