Alright, hear me out. Games that are out of reach with not much time remaining are a boring slog. TV Networks literally cut away from games that are 18 point differences or more. Why not try this method to keep the game engaging

When a player scores a touchdown, they can choose to leave the endzone and begin running towards the opposite endzone. IF they can reach the other endzone without going down, then they are awarded an additional touchdown. At that point they can choose to go back to their original endzone for another touchdown, and so on and so forth. BUT HERE IS THE KICKER, once a player leaves the endzone to begin their journey to the other endzone - getting tackled before reaching the other endzone means forfeiting the touchdown you just scored. If you somehow manage to reach the other endzone and choose to go for a 3rd touchdown, then the same rule applies. Being tackled before reaching the other endzone will result in forfeiture of both touchdowns, and so on and so forth. Theoretically a team could continue scoring touchdowns in perpetuity.

In regards to penalties though, all penalties are reviewable in this situation. Any penalties committed by the defense will result in the offense being allowed to try again from the spot of the foul. Any penalty by the offense will end the attempt.

I know this is stupid, but if one person agrees with me then my friend owes me a plate of wings. What do ya'll think?

Up until today, the Jaguars had perfectly inversed their 2022 season

2022: 1.L 2.W 3.W 4.L 5.L 6.L 7.L 8.L 9.W 10.L 11.W 12.L 13.W 14.W 15.W 16.W 17.W

2023: 1.W 2.L 3.L 4.W 5.W 6.W 7.W 8.W 9.L 10.W 11.(W)

They make their own fate now.

They're also the only QBs to do it twice, but that's beside the point!

With 11 rushing TDs in 11 games he's also on pace to break Newton's QB record of 14 in a season.

T.J. Watt is currently leading the league in sacks with 13.5, if he finishes as the sack leader he will be the first player to lead the league in 3 different seasons since sacks became an official stat in 1982

This is the first NFL game to end with such a score.

With so many teams using gold as a primary color it looks like flags on every play with all the gloves, shoes, towels etc. all flashing around on the screen. And having a gold line to gain on screen just adds to the visual confusion.

If they made the penalty flags and line to gain some non-uniform color it would greatly improve the viewing experience.

Safety orange? Hot Pink? Neon green?

List of teams using essentially same color as penalty flags:

Wash Minn Pitt LAR LAC KC GB

That’s nearly 25% of the league and it means a majority of the games have one of these teams in action. Seems like a very logical and simple way to improve the viewing experience. Hopefully this gains some traction.

As we all expected

The Eagles’ 10-1 record is currently two full games better than everyone else in the NFL. But not only are they at just +64 in point differential, they are 98 points behind Dallas’ +162 in the NFC East alone.

Philly also trails the 49ers, Chiefs, Bills, Dolphins, and Ravens, and has a 4-0 record against those aforementioned teams. They truly have lived and died by the final drive all year.

Colts are quietly in the final AFC playoff spot and play some winnable games here in the last few weeks of the regular season. Shane Steichen deserves a lot of praise.

664
 
 

I get that he should've played until the whistle but it genuinely looked like he didn't realize the play was alive. There have been many times in the past where players gave little to know effort (like the cam Newton fumble).

If a kick/punt returner is able to lift his hand to call a fair catch, QBs should be forced to show a hand signal to declare themselves “down.” Too many fakes going out of bounds or potential slides can hurt a defense.

They lead the Jets 13-6 with 5 minutes to go in the game and lost 22-16

They took the lead vs the Patriots 25-22 with 1:58 to go and lost 29-22.

They took the lead vs the Broncos 22-21 with 1:55 to go and lost 24-22.

They took the lead vs the Eagles 31-28 with 1:52 to go and lost 37-34.

McDermott can blame his OC all he wants but his defense late in the 4th is the difference between the team being 10-2 vs 6-6.

This comes after he finished the first half

4/11 33 passing yards 22 rush yards 1 rush touchdown 1 interception 1 fumble 7.0 passer rating

They are 6-6 this season. Last season they went 13-3.
