What a weird day of football
 

-Chiefs flirt with losing to the Broncos
-Dallas almost losses at home to a 1 win Texan team
-Titans get blown out at home against a bad Jags team that they were 7-1 against in the Vrabel era
-Brady gets absolutely boat raced by a team starting its 3rd string QB
-Seahawks lose to a terrible Panthers team at home

Crazy

Santa been getting these letters......ya see

What happened to the Titans defense? That's a shocker. Like where the Jags are going though

It WAS crazy.

But I don’t think the Jags are that bad. They’re an ascending team and they’re gonna compete for a playoff spot next year.

Thank goodness Chiefs get out of Denver with a win.
Serious tilt-o-whirl day in the NFL

DET blew the doors of MIN
Lowly JAX beat TEN
CAR whacked SEA

And of course, LAR beating LVR was maybe the most improbable outcome of the weekend.

Said it in the other thread, but every year it seems like there's one weekend straight out of the Bizarro alternate Universe. I'm hoping this was it. We almost got bit by this one but we managed to avoid getting smacked by the Bizarro bug.

Let's just hope we're done with that for this year. Sometimes this shit comes back around one more time before the season is over, and I don't want any part of that.

bills offense looked like shit too

this time of year, just win baby

When good Trevor Lawrence shows up Jacksonville isn't bad.

I think he's going to be okay. Doug will turn him into a pretty good QB, I think. He's got all the physical tools. Needs more weapons. Few other pieces on the team. They'll be in the hunt for their division next year.

Any given Sunday…..

Based on ESPN-SVP highlights, Trevor is going to be just fine. Looked like Josh Allen running and scrambling, and has maybe 80% of Josh's arm. Think Pederson is running the exact same offense he ran with Foles. Will be interesting to see if Warner or Sullivan or Brett do a breakdown of him this week. Might win their division next year.

Brock Purdy looked good. tough, willing to stand and deliver right in the teeth of the blitz. He might make it.

Glad the Chiefs survived this weekend. An ugly win is still a lot better than a loss! Hopefully they can put together a stronger performance next weekend.

Technically the game was never in doubt. It wasn't even close. Worst win probability percentage the entire game for the Chiefs was 74%.

But I'll take the Chiefs not allowing TDs on every scoring drive. 2 TDs and 2FGs, fine. Take that all day.

It did not feel that way. With less than 4 minutes left, the Chiefs led by 6 points and the KC offense had 3rd and 11 at their own 25 yard line. If they punt in that situation, the Broncos were setup for a good chance to win the game if they put together a TD drive over the final 3 minutes.

KC converted the 3rd and 11 with a big play from MVS & Mahomes. Rest of the game featured important rushing yardage from the OL, Pacheco, & McKinnon to seal the deal and keep Denver's offense on the sideline.

Doug Pederson is just a good coach.

Crazy enough they aren't quite dead this year. They have a tough schedule but they're now 2 games back and they end the season against Tennessee. If they won that final game they'd have the tiebreaker, all they'd need to do is gain 1 more game somewhere else and they'd win the division.

I know. I was pretty confounded myself. I had to leave the room a couple times during the second half. But you look at those stats, and the game was really in hand by any measure. The INTs hurt, and there were two big plays by DEN, and everything else was really a pretty dominating performance by the defense.

First female NFL QB is doing okay.

I always find it funny when people get surprised by this bit ot happens EVERY year. Games are won on thin margins in this league

I almost started a thread earlier in the week titled "Are you ready for upset weekend"..I saw this shit coming.

This is time of the year where the NFL sets up the final ratings push..with only one bye, they have to manufacture drama and interest.

Did you enjoy the the KC game....I got a good laugh when Mahomes threw a 3rd INT into quadruple coverage. Why...because the spread was 9 points and KC was up by 6. A FG kills all the Vegas $$. I immediately said.."KC is going to run the clock out and not score another point".

Dungy was wondering why KC sometimes runs zone and their players look lost...when they are a man team. Well...it lets the other team back in game and controls the spread.

Titans, Miami and Vikings lost...Chargers are back in the fold as are the Panthers.

Sooo exciting...cant you feel it? They want your ass glued to the TV until the final game of week 18...like last season.

Crazy fantasy game as well lol , going against Mahomes down by 3 late I figured we were done , he had Donta and CMC , I had only Lockett with quarter left , SF benches CMC fir last quarter and a half , Mahomes throws a late INT (-3) plus kneel downs , donta rushes for 3 yards putting us down .3 with only 1 - min left in sea game Lockett makes amazing sideline toe tapper for the win .

He's receiving NFL level coaching. Go figure.
