I'm going to need someone to explain Kingsbury's thinking at the end of the game today. Cards have a 3rd and goal from the 10 with 42 seconds left down 9. Kingsbury chooses to kick a FG. Why? It's not like 3rd and 10 is some impossible situation. What's the point, to save like 6 seconds? Just take a shot at the end zone and if you don't get it, you kick the FG anyway.

Top 108 Moments for the 2016 Cubs (Now complete!)
soccer10k replied to bukie's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This thread has been a welcome re-read this offseason. 10/10 would recommend. Or should I say 108/108. -
Stop acting like they would have won the game if they had just kicked the extra point. I'm not. I'm saying that playing a 10 minute OT was less risky than pinning everything on one play. They still could've lost and it would've been moot This isn’t Zach Wilson on the other sideline. It’s Aaron Rodgers. You’re more likely to win going for 2 there than just continuing to give Rodgers chances and hoping you win the coin toss in OT.

Are you saying they should not have gone for it because they could have tied? No, I'm saying that risking winning or losing on one play (rather than playing it out in OT) seemed like a bad gamble And if you just kick the extra point, you’re giving Rodgers a free shot at a game winning drive with 40 seconds and a timeout. And if you stop them then, you either -lose the toss and have to stop Rodgers -win the toss and need a touchdown again or kick a FG/don’t score and then have to stop Rodgers The more chances you give Aaron Rodgers to beat you, the less likely you are to win. Harbaugh chose to go for 2 which if he gets, forces Rodgers to rush the ball down the field. Sure, you still might lose even if you convert, but you’re more likely to win that way.

There are rumors flying that he's taking his bag to get a few other top guys, too, so this should be interesting. Yeah, this was always the thought with JSU hiring him. I don't know if the end game is Deion getting a Power 5 job or if it's the SWAC to become a power conference. I'm really hoping it's the latter because it will really shake horsefeathers up if black players in the South have a legit chance for exposure at HBCUs. One of two things will happen. Either Jackson State continues to be good and Deion jumps to another school or this season was more of a one off, Jackson State falls off and then none of these big recruits will go there again. Plus with the transfer portal rules changing, these guys know they can just follow him to whatever other school Deion goes to.

Lol. Who could have known that was a terrible hire besides basically everyone.

And predictably, Chelsea draws the easiest (by far) opponent they possibly could have. Hopefully Atletico Madrid figures their stuff out by February and knocks ManU out.
-
This has to be up there for dumbest red cards ever. Even if you're getting in front of the kick to stop a counter attack, it would be a dumb move considering you're on a yellow. But your team is back already. What advantage are you possibly trying to gain by doing this? There's literally no point at all.
-
LOL Chelsea. They give up a 94th minute goal to tie Zenit and finish second in the group. EDIT: They’ll draw one of Ajax, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or whoever wins Group G. I’m hoping they draw Bayern but I’m sure they’ll get the Group G winner.

Group G in the UCL: Lille 8 Salzburg 7 Sevilla 6 Wolfsburg 5 Lille at Wolfsburg, Sevilla at Salzburg The only thing that is settled is that Lille will be playing in Europe in 2022, though that could be the Europa League. Lille can't finish 4th. Sevilla and Salzburg could finish in any of the 4 spots. Wolfsburg, due to the tiebreakers and which games are remaining, will either play in the UCL knockout rounds or be out of Europe altogether. They can't finish 3rd. They would win a three way H2H for 1st with a win and a Salzburg draw. They have the H2H tiebreaker with Lille for 2nd place if they win and the other game doesn't end in a tie. And if they draw and Salzburg wins, Sevilla has the tiebreaker for 3rd.

I think Michigan and whoever the 4 seed is gets absolutely throttled in the playoffs vs Georgia and Bama. The BIG sucks this year and Iowa really sucks. We’re getting a Bama-Georgia championship. I’d be pretty shocked if Bama and Georgia aren’t 2 point favorites in their first round games. Michigan's strength is running the ball. They won't be able to do that against Georgia. Georgia 30+ to 6. Georgia has better coaches and better players. Georgia's strength on defense will suffocate Michigan. It's not like Georgia's offense is all that great and Michigan's got a pretty solid defense. Held Ohio State to their second lowest point total of the season.
-
2 weeks ago I proposed the exact scenario that’s occurring. Now Georgia has to beat Bama, Houston over Cincinnati and one other result that I dont want to happen Michigan can win and we’d still have chaos in that scenario. Does Baylor actually get in? It’s probably them or Ohio St right? Can’t imagine the committee would want to run Bama-Georgia back again in a 1-4 matchup. Not like Bama’s resume is amazing.
-
Boy did Oklahoma State sure blow that one. Earlier in the 4th quarter they have 1st and goal from inside the 1. Three runs, they don't get in and kick a FG to go down 5. Then the end of the game they have 1st and goal from the 2 and can't get in on 4 tries.
-
Solid game from Taysom Hill.
-
And Grizzlies are missing their best player. Box score: https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401360154 The best +/- in the game for the Thunder was -18. The worst was -56 in only 24 minutes.
-
Grizzlies beat the Thunder by 73 today. It’s the largest margin of victory in NBA history.
-
Who leaves while their previous team is still alive for the CFP? Wouldn’t even be that crazy for them to make the playoff.
-
I have a feeling this could be similar to the 2014 rankings where TCU dropped from 3rd to 6th despite winning their last game soundly. The committee was reluctant to put Cincinnati anywhere near the top initially until teams started losing. During that time Cincinnati hasn’t played any legit good teams and has looked shaky in a few of them. I bet they are itching to move them out if they have an excuse too. A 1 loss Oklahoma State team coming off back to back wins over top 10-15 teams would give it a strong reason to leapfrog Ok St over Cincinnati even if both teams win and even if Cincinnati beats a fringe top 25 team in Houston. I guess we’ll see The main difference is TCU beat a 2-10 Iowa State team that week whereas Cincinnati will play a good team. But you’re probably right that if Bama, Michigan and OkSt all win, Cincy is out.

Only the top-4 teams in the EPL currently have a positive goal differential. Arsenal is 5th at -2. There are three other teams (Wolves, Brentford and Palace) with a GD of 0.
-
So we've got: IN: Georgia FOR SURE IN WITH A WIN: Michigan and Alabama IN FOR SURE WITH A WIN AND A BAMA LOSS: Ok St and Cincy NEEDS TWO OF THE ABOVE BESIDES GEORGIA TO LOSE: Notre Dame Rankings this week will give us a good idea on who has the upper hand between Oklahoma State and Cincy and ultimately it will probably come down to next week. If one team wins big and the other wins close, the team winning big probably gets in. If they both win by similar scores, it will probably go to whoever is ranked higher on Tuesday.

I can’t wait to see which QB the Jets draft at No 4 in the 2024 or 2025 NFL drafts!
-
Off the top of my head without looking everything up Cincy is out because they lost to Houston and didn’t win their conference. MSU is out because they lost to OSU by 49. Oregon is out because they lost by 31 to Utah and to an 3-9 Stanford team. Have to look at the rest later.
