God does Flacco suck. That was the worst throw I’ve ever seen to Crabtree.

That certainly looked liked a blow to the head. No flag.
It was clearly shoulder to shoulder and he was a runner so there would never be a flag even if it was to the head. That was just a good clean football hit. I get that it might have looked icky but a flag there would have been absurd. Smith could have slide or stepped out of bounds if he didn’t want to get hit.

Detroit keeps running Golladay out of the slot. Was that really the plan after trading Tate? Smh.

La Mancha.
Buffalo's offense has allowed more TD in the last two games (3) than its defense has allowed (2).
That's a pretty glass-half-empty way of looking at it. How about: "Hey, the defense is so good they've allowed fewer TD than the offense!"

Someone want to tell me why Miami would take a time out before Jets kick a FG when they are going to receive a kickoff with 20 seconds on the clock?


Seems really dumb. Now they bring out the kick. This team is dumber than us.

Given all the time, they should have gone to an ad so we at least could have learned more about some fine product.

Penalty on Mahomes for spiking while clock was not running, but replay showed clock ticking from 9 to 8...am I missing something?

Clock was stopped at 9 seconds. He snapped the ball and spiked it. While he spiked it the clock went from 9 to 8.
But apparently you can’t spike the ball when the clock is stopped before the snap. I didn’t know that.

OK, so after failing on the first 2-pt attempt, the Browns try yet again for a 2-pt attempt and fail at that. I don''t get it. The first one, yes, but the risk/reward for the 2nd one seems totally off to try it. Now they're down by 6 whereas they could have been down by 5 with an extra point.

Maybe trying to trick Stafford into throwing it to him. Stafford sniffed it out though only 1 target. He'd rather throw to a garbage TE, or hold it for 12 seconds and take a sack.

Some chance today is the last day for Harbaugh as Ravens coach, isn't it?

Big Ben is hurt, and probably bad. Just took the entire weight of the defensive lineman and himself down on his right shoulder.
