  1. Too many injuries for the Houston offense too. Now without their top two pass catchers and their leading rusher.
  2. I haven't watched the Texans much but man Stroud has done some really stupid stuff the last couple weeks. Like why the F are you throwing that ball, backpedaling with a lineman in your face? What exactly are you hoping to accomplish there?
  3. Agreed. I’d have to watch it again but the couple views I saw, if he goes to the ground the same way and the ball just pops out and hits the ground, it’s an incomplete pass. Therefore it can’t be a completed catch and down by contract.
  4. This is so stupid. Hard salary cap and either end deferrals or whatever contract you agree to, for cap purposes it’s paid out over the actual contract (so Tucker would be $60M per year).
  5. People do crazy things to avoid getting picked by the Jets or Raiders.
  6. Pittsburgh looks as likely to get a TD as the Chargers did last night.
  7. Yeah, he's been very underwhelming tonight.
  8. Yeah so that tells me if Houston looks great tonight, that line could easily flip to Hou -1.5.
  9. The number of home underdogs in these playoffs is wild. Steelers, Panthers and Bears were all underdogs and while the Jags closed as the favorite, they were an underdog for most of the week. The largest home favorite was Philly at only -5.5. This week, Denver and the Bears are underdogs. I imagine NE will be favored over Hou/Pitt but if Hou beats Pitt down, I could see them being a small favorite too.
  10. So both the Rams and Bears played Saturday yet their game next week is on Sunday. Meanwhile, the 49ers and Bills played today and both are on short rest against bye teams on Saturday next week. Makes total sense. I know this is because Hou-Pitt is tomorrow so they have to be on Sunday next week. That being said, why not just have 3 games Sat and 3 games Sunday? That's a rhetorical question. The answer is money.
  11. Except there’s a chance if the Pats move on they’ll get Pittsburgh.
  12. This game might be over. I have no faith the Chargers can get 7+ more points offensively.
  13. Man that's a lot of money. Hope he produces.
  14. Nailed it! Says the guy who would have posted the exact same stuff had he been watching the game live rather than recording it. LOL
  15. This is the correct answer. There have been underdogs in soccer who have made long Cup runs and even won it. But Leicester had to be the best team over 38 games.
  16. Doesn’t seem smart to have your starters in up.49-15 in the 4th quarter.
  17. So how exactly is Cignetti doing this? I mean, this isn't a coaching coming into a formerly great program and turning it around. Indiana is a college football doormat. Last year was the first time they've won 10 games in a season. I'm assuming they didn't drop boatloads of NIL money like Texas Tech. And yet they're a game and a half away from becoming the first FBS team since 1899 to win 16 games in a season.
  18. I know Oregon has turned it over 3 times and Indiana took advantage which makes the score look worse, but Indiana has been all over them defensively anyway and Oregon hasn't been able to stop Indiana's offense.
  19. Notre Dame was (rightfully) angry that they’d been ranked above Miami for weeks, neither team played and then Miami jumped them after the conf champ games. They were also upset Bama got thumped by Georgia but didn’t drop despite BYU getting thumped by Tech and dropping. Had Miami been ranked ahead of Notre Dame the whole time, I don’t think Notre Dame would have cared about Miami getting in. So it was less about Miami specifically and more about the process.
  20. Maybe. But that seems like an overreaction to two years. This year, I’ll give you maybe Notre Dame should have been in over Bama. But you could argue the weird ACC tiebreaker kept ND out because it enabled JMU and Tulane to both get in. But besides Notre Dame, I’m not sure there’s an argument for another team over one of the SEC teams. Maybe this whole NIL thing is a turning point. The SEC always got the benefit of the doubt because they generally were better than the other conferences. If they do continue to struggle in the playoff, they’ll likely stop getting the benefit of the doubt.
  21. I'd say that whatever is currently going on with NIL has more to do with it than the playoff format.
  22. This 4th quarter is outstanding. Would be completely absurd if Ole Miss scores to win it here.
  23. This has been a fun game.
  24. The Raiders are only the best option if you want to get a 5 year deal and then collect paychecks for 3 years after you get fired 2 years into the deal.
  25. Mike McDaniel fired today.
