    The boy's defense is terrible along with the coaching. The offense is sliding into a ditch.

    They don't deserve to make the playoffs. The only good point is they will get a better draft position and hopefully draft well with it.

    I think they have the same sickness as the UT football team.

    Draft position is based off the order of finish and not entirely on their record. They will be the #4 seed in the NFC, as well as drawing a first place schedule next year. They will be drafting no higher than 20, and have the toughest schedule to face next season, in theory anyway. They could be even more deeply screwed next year than they already are.

    I understand that as I know it's not all based on their record. They may or not be the #4 seed as I can see them losing more games this season the way they are playing now.

    They will be even more screwed if they keep their current coach and staff for next year.

    The front offensive lines on many teams SUCK this year! Last night, Dallas's front line lacked blocking on a bunch of plays. Poor Dak! :# Other quarterbacks are getting slammed quite often too.

    It's like some of these guys haven't learned how to block in all their years playing the game or the defensive players are just super-human rushers now. I feel the defensive players on the front lines are SUPER FAST and STRONGER this year also.

    On many plays throughout this season so far, I've lost count with how many times a defensive guy runs RIGHT PAST the blocker and sacks the quarterback. It's crazy to think the blocker couldn't do SOMETHING to slow the rusher down just a little bit. :D

    I have seen some NON-BLOCKERS get moved closer to the center so MAYBE they might block somebody in a more confined space. But I still think offensive line blockers are needed in the NFL to give longer protection for a quarterback. I've also seen A LOT of offensive line blockers getting injured this year. I think more than previous years.

    The defensive guys on the line are just so fast and powerful, it's got to be hard to stop them now. ;)

    No more chop blocks and holding is called way too often. OL are playing at a disadvantage from jump.

    Also, some teams don't properly appreciate a high quality OL. When you look at some of the great teams of the past, they had great OLs. It boggles my mind that teams will pay QBs thirty some million a year but cheap out on the OL. Maybe they feel they have to because they quarantee hundreds of millions of dollars to a few players. You'd think you'd want to have a great OL to protect your investment, as well and for a variety of other reasons well beyond extending the functional lives of your RB's

    Except the 2000-1 Ravens. Their offense was mediocre at best but their defense would shut down the best offenses.

    Don't remind me. :'(

    Don't confuse the Raiders (and their fans) being OFFENSIVE with actually having an offense. They are two very different things.

    It's never over till the lady sings...is it?

    And what a weird game the Chiefs and Patriots had!!!
    Bad calls, no-calls...an obvious touchdown that couldn't be called a TD because a sideline ref said he was out-of-bounds before leaping over the inside of that pilon. To twist the knife in Belichick's side, the Patriots couldn't challenge the call because they were out of them. That stadium roared when they all saw IT WAS A TD after-all! Come on....man. You can see it on the JUMBO-TRON!!! It was really a scoring play...and should've been reviewed from NY officials, if you ask me. They need to make a new exception rule for this kind of "ref-mistakes". The Pats might've won tonight.

    Why not overturn the refs bad call due to THE FACTS of reality. It was obvious in the replay the Pats' guy made the leap inbounds for that TD.

    My wife and I saw many weird ref calls and no calls again today. I think it's just that thing that a member pointed out a couple of months ago;

    The seat ticket says "for entertainment purpose only, no refunds". ;)

    Agreed.....bad calls and no calls. Mahomes getting pushed as he went out of bounds, if that was Brady 5 flags would have been thrown. Pats did get suckered out of a TD or 2 though. Must admit, was nice to see the Pats on the receiving end of bad calls for a change.

    Was it me, or did Brady seem to have lost some zip on the ball ?

    I thought every scoring play gets reviewed?? The question is....why even bother with replay and the game stoppages if they are still getting numerous calls wrong? ( except to squeeze in more annoying commercials) Just ask the Saints last season.....

    I remember the old day’s when the Saints and 49ers where in the same Division. Some of the best matchups and this one didn’t Disappoint! My Saints left points on the field plus critical penalties. Sure they where some ticky tack calls on both sides, anyone watching that game knew it would come down to who had the ball last would win. Both D,s couldn’t stop each other, Post Season should be awesome this will be the NFC championship game between these two.

    After the Saints got screwed in week one on a quick whistle, weren't the refs supposed to let plays run their course then look at them? Seen a bunch of Defensive TDs get nullified due to calling the runner down or an incomplete pass.
