I agree with broncos decision to try the 62 yarder. Their kicker has made them in practice and you have no timeouts. Either you punt and play for the tie or you go for it. Punting and playing for the tie is something I would not have done either. Too many ties already this year

I'd have gone for it on 4th and 10. Same logic as the field goal, but probably slightly better odds of picking up the first down than making the field goal from there.
Also, I don't consider KC's win an upset. They are a better team than Denver.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

That may be true. KC reasonably has a SB shot with that defense. Looking at an updated playoff machine with my picks I got them stealing the west from OAK and both BAL and PIT making it in over DEN. TB takes a wild card and so does WASWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Man I like TB but they're such a hit-or-miss team. They still have to play the Saints twice plus the Cowboys(!) and I don't think they have the consistency to make it.
No longer think the Redskins are going to make it. They can't afford to lose more than one more game and with the Cards and two division rivals coming up I think it's just too difficult.
The Broncos do have a nasty trio of games at the end of their schedule but playoffs are still do-able for them because the Ravens and Dolphins have such a nasty remaining schedule.
The MIA @ BAL game is going to decide a lot. Whoever wins, I think their playoff chances are doomed. Ravens can't afford a single mistake at this point and the Dolphins play three division games in a row to end the season.Show"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint.

Pre KC vs DEN struck me as a game where DEN had a slight edge. Not a huge upset but I still felt things were in Denver's favor before the match
Pre TB vs SEA struck me as SEA having much bigger edge. So it was bigger upset. I think the injuries SEA were dealing with is why TB won
NE has chance to lose SB with Gronk out and other players not looking good health wise. I am sure they don't want to give up home field advantage in playoffs but resting players late in the season may be better. Should KC beat OAK in upcoming weeks I think NE can sit some players and lose a game while still beating out KC for home field advantageWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

For NE this feels a lot like last year. Start really strong, mid-late season start slumping as injuries take their toll and other teams start hitting a groove, wins come by smaller and smaller margins, eventually lose in the playoffs to a strong defense because the center cannot hold. That's what I'm thinking. Really! Those games against Pittsburgh (who didn't have Ben), Seattle, and the Jets are bad omens for the Pats, and they've looked eminently beatable of late.
AFC playoffs can be really interesting if that's the case.
* NE is slumping
* DEN is slumping (especially since it appears Siemian is out ROS)
* OAK is a house of cards defensively
* HOU has an awful offense (they're like a worse version of the Vikings)
KC could go really far this year. PIT could go far if we make it, though we're almost as much a house of cards as OAK. BAL could go far if they make it and Playoff Flacco rejuvenates their lethargic offense. If Miami continues to surge even they could go far. Even TEN is an longshot dark horse if they can make it.Show"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." -Helder Camara

The Rams have signed Fisher and Snead to new contracts.
As a reminder, today is December 4th, not April 1st.ShowChloroform girl, how have you been?

Rams sure do. Fisher must have most 8-8 or less performances of any coach at this point

Stan Kroenke has never cared about the quality of his product, just the quantity of merchandise sold. And the sad thing is that he's almost certainly going to win now that he has an LA sports franchise.
The Dolphins got exposed HARD as playoff pretenders today. That was brutal.Show"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." -Helder Camara

I'm not surprised, Miami almost lost to the browns earlier this year. If we had a descent kicker, Browns would have won that game. Unlikely Browns will win a game rest of this yearWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Browns biggest problem "this year" is Oline. We have had almost as many people play center as we have had play QB. Lack of protection is what doomed us most "this year". Had oline been stronger we would not have needed as many QBs and could have had better opportunity to see if any QB we had, had value.
Given the QB class next year I think I'd rather we trade back to fix oline with many picks before we try to fix qb issue again...When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

yalls have had a pretty solid OL for quite awhile but then yall went and drafted fucking brandon weeden, brady quinn, johnny manziel etc.
like damn you put a competent qb behind some of your better lines and damn.
fortunately or unfortunately I really like Kessler and hope he wont remain forever injured.
yalls got shitloads of draft picks there year spend on your oline and dline and probably a little bit in the secondary and your team isnt sooooo bad.
idunno.
oya and please dont draft Kizer. dudes got busto written all over him.ShowRumpelstiltskin Grinder

I agree. None of those opponents can afford a loss as they are fighting over playoff position and home game possibility. Only one where Denver may have a chance is against the raiders and thats only if KC game ends before it and raiders give it to Denver. I don't see Denver earning it.
