NFL 2021 NFL - Week 18

[Chism]

Great game either way and glad I got off work early to catch the 2nd half.

Chargers bad coaching strikes again. Raiders were fine taking the tie till the Chargers called the timeout.

[J Shuttlesworth]

They aren't winning, waste of my time and money.

This one will put the ol' jinx power to the test.

A brief history of intentional ties in sports

If the Chargers and Raiders play for a tie Sunday night, it won’t be the first time in sports in general — or in the NFL in particular.

Analytics wanted him to give his players a few extra weeks for the offseason.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Chargers were 88% to make the playoffs after week 15
Colts were 76% to make the playoffs after week 16

Both missing the playoffs 2%

Clearly Carson wasn’t told on that last FG!

And all of Pittsburgh breathes a sigh of relief

Also, who would you rather play, KC or the Bengals next week?

Get yourself into a position you really can't lose and then give yourself the best chance to progress. With the Bengals history why wouldn't you want to play them next week instead of taking the tie and copping the Chiefs

Would of been easier to have the holder fumble the snap. you cant have people say it was a fix that way.

Then you log into twitter and see a bunch of nerds who have never played any form of competitive sport in their lives with a blue checkmark saying how it was such a smart decision.

Reckon both teams were doing a good job of covering it, but got told theyd both be forfeited if it ended in a tie, meaning both would be given a loss, and another team would make the playoffs in their stead. Some sus moments in the last 5 minutes and in OT.

All they needed to do was ask Romo how to do it!

Like the NFL has never been fixed anyway. Now the teams do it and not Zebras and all of a sudden they are threatened to be replaced? Yeah * off Goodell.

I think everyone watching who isnt a Steelers fan was the same

 

[Exe Gesis]

Too much of a scandal, a team had to go for the win at the end, the timeout and chargers let jacobs thru for a good gain at the end

 

[smasha]

Everyone wanted the Raiders to Hocking the game to keep the yellow and black team out,I have dejavu.

Well it is January.

 

[manureid]

Who is the ******* on the right on Gameday Final? Saying the Chargers should have been trying to get the ball back to go for the win, rather than letting the clock run out and going to the playoffs. Idiot

 

[aussiedude]

Chargers just cant help themselves.

 

[aussiedude]

of all the ways to miss the playoffs that might be the dumbest ever, and its not even going to cost Staley his job, but his coaching in multiple games is why they missed the playoffs.

You can take the Charger out of San Diego but you cant take the Chargering out of the Charger

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I honestly think there is a genuine jinx over the team until Spanos sells it.

 

[Chism]

Gee I am getting old and I remember that like yesterday!
