Biggest mess of a game this WAS-CIN

2nd tie in 2 weeks, what nonsense. We turning European guys.



Brady needs to start audibling out of some of these pass plays. Bills dropping 8 into defense and just waiting.

Yuck. Seahawks were atrocious

Wtf kind of 2 minute drive was that? No time outs and you run no plays to the sideline? Don't spike the ball till there's 30s left? Fucking unbelievable. Oh and then let's not forget....you STILL have a chance, and with your last shot play to win the game, you throw to fucking Jermaine Kearse, completely drenched by his defender....not Baldwin, not Graham....no....a completely covered Kearse. Fuck you Russell 



So kickers can't kick anymore....

Does anyone else feel that making the field goal post smaller was a mistake? I don't mind when games go to OT, but its apparent that kicking a field goal has become significantly harder considering known accurate kickers aren't even hitting 25-40 yard field goals. Missing this many field goals just makes the game seem sloppy to me.

They made them smaller? I didn't even notice.

But why would a hardly discernable difference make kicking field goals harder? What we've witnessed lately is much more likely just a statistical outlier as far as the kicking game is concerned.

Hmmm okay I thought they made the width of the field goal post smaller, but they havent implemented that change yet. They did push extra points back by 15 yards though. It just seems odd that so many kickers are missing this year.

Conspiracy theory!!!! The NFL is using this season to gauge whether or not they should make the width of the field goal posts smaller by putting chips in the footballs to track how close they get to the post when kicked....Maybe the kickers have come together and decided to miss fields goals so they dont implement smaller field goals XP
