Big Ben not back out of the tunnel to start the second half. Josh Dobbs in at QB. Ben took a nasty sack earlier in the game but finished the first half.

I'm mad. Why is Gostkowski still on this team? He went from being one of the best to a hit or miss kicker the last few years. They lost by 1 point. IF he made that extra point earlier would have been an OT game
 

McGarnagle

Yes.

Oof, talk about a team who blames their kicker, Boswell cost the Steelers today. Slipped on the turf there causing the low kick.

Dak Prescott takes two consecutive sacks when trying to get the Cowboys into FG range to send Eagles to 6-7. Eagles will probably win this in OT and will most likely be making the playoffs, even though they're arguably lucky not to be 4-9 or so right now. :laugh:

Scratch that. Dak and co. come through in OT, and Cowboys fans become yet more obnoxious. :laugh:

This would have all but locked up second second seed and put the one seed likely

I still can’t believe Belichick pulled McCortey and put Gronk in there

The one good thing about that play is hopefully it will convince Miami to go back to their throwbacks full time.

I suppose the Chiefs *could* still lose to both the Chargers and at Seattle but now it's really making sure you don't lose the 2 seed. No chance this team can win two road playoff games. Maybe they can win one but even that doesn't look promising considering how they play away from home. The Steelers have no shot at a bye because the Pats aren't losing at home to the Bills or Jets. So it will come down to the Texans. They still have to go to Philly. Hopefully the Eagles can win that one.

Did Scott Zolak mutter 'Oh Jesus' as the play developed? That is what my ears are hearing.


Absolutely.

I hopped in the car after the game and heard the replay of it and was cracking up at this.

The guy is so wild, but it’s hard to care too too much because it’s NFL football on the radio and almost everyone is watching rather than listening.

Horrible officiating in the MNF game last night (shocking I know).

Roughly 4-5 minutes left, Vikes down 6-0, and they are short on 3rd down. They line up to attempt the FG to cut the lead to 3. Bobby Wagner jumps over the line using his hands and his teammates backs to vault over the line (I could see this from home on TV), and blocks the kick.

Flag thrown by one official, they huddle, and the flag is picked up. They show the replay and Wagner clearly uses his teammates to jump over. Instead of a first down and Minny driving for the go ahead TD, the Seahawks drive it down the field, score, and put the game away. This botched call will likely decide playoff berths.

I’m not sure if it’s the speed of the game or the increased TV coverage or just incompetence, but the officiating in the NFL this year has been horrible.

Oh well Vike’s fans, maybe you will get an apology from the head of officials? Hope that makes you feel better.

An apology and a refund from Kirk Cousins would work :)

Wagner used BOTH hands to push off to jump over pile. Crazy.

I needed a win to make my fantasy playoffs.

Was up by about 20 going into Sunday night. I had the Rams D, but my opponent had Goff and Burton. I was at a 1% chance of winning.

By a miracle, I went into Monday night a 60% favorite, up by 16.75. My opponent still had Cook.

I lost on the last freaking play. 101.15-101.10. 1 yard.

Junk TD screwed me. My opponent made the playoffs with the win, and I'm out.

Brutal, brutal end to the season.
