Teams have been doing this for many years. At home, you go for the tie. If you’re the visitor, you go for the win (because you will lose in OT). It’s an obsolete mindset, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 No fuqs given, Henderson and the Lyin's being Henderson & the Lyin's. Kick the damn PAT and enough with these 4th down shenanigans! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 For their 17th game in 2024, the Packers host an AFC East team. They will play the team that finishes in the same place as they do. The Jets will most probably finish 3rd in the AFC East. If the Packers finish 3rd in the NFC North, they will host the Jets next year. This must not happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like Campbell and I think he needs to be coach of the year, especially considering the turnaround since mid season last year. I think they're 2nd in wins since last November. That's alot coming from a dogshit team they were before. Campbell and the Lions need to a) be more selective in their 'gambles' and b) need to realize that 2 or 3 plays will make or break you in a close playoff type game. Barnes whiffing on a sack safety and then the 'boys score a long one. That's a 9 point turnaround in one play. Detroit's Oline sucking on assignments in the first half...way too many missed blocks. Campbells going for it on the 4 yard line when they went backwards from the 2 in 2 plays. Take the 3 points and regroup....and that 3 points would have won the game. That's 12 points they gave up on mistakes which makes the 2 pointer mute. At least they know they can play with the Cowboys and hopefully this fuels the fire. At this point, the playoff matchup is Stafford vs Goff in Detroit. I'll take that since Stafford is not mobile and mobile QBs gives the Lions fits.

goose Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 It seems that the evidence supports the idea that the refs blew it on the Lions' 2pt conversion. The case is well presented here: https://sports.yahoo.com/roger-goodells-so-called-better-than-ever-nfl-officiating-blew-the-end-of-cowboys-lions-then-doubled-down-074502508.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=YW5kcm9pZC1hcHA6Ly9jb20uZ29vZ2xlLmFuZHJvaWQuZ29vZ2xlcXVpY2tzZWFyY2hib3gv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHHXlq_bIqKQnW3hovgc2fxB_s56h_DxmIFgN1losmlbNLHLV_i7WKBbwqxj3sh0RBSv-xoNLAzBRLp3EIO8yKI43CuUcEV2gH0EPLPjtn1ltJZ5irD2dcbGN_TWeCB8FP1bl_Kvfp7lcCvRdH8Ym_cROFXpYpF6_HruI8LppUxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 At then of the above article, a possible explanation: "...maybe the confusion came out of sheer gamesmanship. In what was clearly an effort to confuse the Cowboys, the Lions had both Decker and Skipper approach Allen, likely with the hope that someone on the Dallas defense wasn’t playing close attention and might miss which of the two players was actually eligible. But in the effort to confuse the Cowboys, the Lions instead confused Allen, who could have heard Decker report as eligible but mistakenly believe it was Skipper." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Lol to me being on the wrong side of the Falcons every single week. And overall I've had a horrible year picking games each week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 This year has made me believe thar everything needs to be reviewable. Cardinals receiver just pulled the defender into by the collar to feign interference, and of course he got the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I wager $20.00 RFD (Rush Forum Dollars) that the Bengals-Chiefs game will be marred by yet another controversial call in the last two minutes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
