Reich’s 4th and Goal playcalls arent as impressive when the refs make his offense line up properly.

Yep, although I still think going for it on 4th is the right call - I don’t think the Colts feel much better about this game if it’s 14-13 right now as opposed to 14-10.
Similar yards/att. Allen has a better QB rating, driven by the TD pass, and also has rushed for 43 yards and a TD. Rivers made a poor throw on the game’s most critical play.
Allen has also been bailed out by a dropped pick, a ridiculous offside and two incredibly close calls on sideline catches. Rivers had one meh throw under pressure in a situation he'd never be asked to pass the ball with better playcalling.
I thought I'd see Eagle's name there. Eagle uses an unnecessarily loud opening word on a big play call that reminds me of Joe Buck's ANNNNDDD, which Buck uses in both baseball and football, annoying in both.
Every team has a good kicker except the Browns and Cardinals.
Edit: And the Jags, if they count as a NFL team.

I don’t mind him. I’m not going to seek him out to listen to but he doesn’t actively bother me like Levy and Tess.
That no call on DPI doesn’t matter in terms of down and distance but I really don’t like when refs don’t flag obvious penalties
Colts just need to keep it close enough to get Rivers in position to do his late fourth quarter magic.
I assume that is an intentional strategy to keep the Bills’ time of possession to a minimum. Not sure how much that really matters but clearly they think it is.
I think the Colts have made a conscious decision to run the clock down before every snap in order to minimize the number of possessions the Bills have. Not a bad idea, actually, but it risks a penalty on every play.

This is why I hate playing ball control on offense. You miss a FG down 7 after a long drive and it might as well be game over. You shorten the game to yourself as well.
It certainly has been a game of inches — the kick the Bills barely made, the kick the Colts narrowly missed, the two sideline catches and narrowly missed INT on the Bills’ second TD drive, the Rivers throw just out of his receiver’s reach on that 4th down play.
There really aren't many pbp that bother me, tbh. If they just give me the names and stuff, the rest seems to slide by. I recognize the shitty tics that people here point out, but they just don't resonate badly with me.
Analysts, though seem to serve up inane inanity more often not that *does* bother me.
I guess I’m rooting for the Bills because I think a Chiefs-Bills AFC champ game would be really fun.
