There is something off about how the Vikings defense set up there. Are they too deep? Feels weird seeing so much space in front of the defense. Why aren't they in front of the end zone?Tweet

I think the play selection wasn't that bad. In that situation, ie, in the last play of the game, where the other team needs a TD to win, you do not want your DB being beaten off the line and a receiver running free, so lining up in the endzone, or near the endzone, is probably the right call. However, giving the receiver so much room once he makes his way into the endzone was a disaster. It is a little hard to see, but it appears that every other Lions receiver/TE was well covered and met directly at the edge of the endzone, except St. Brown, who was given far too much space. So, not the wrong play call, but real poor excecution.There is something off about how the Vikings defense set up there. Are they too deep? Feels weird seeing so much space in front of the defense.

Sorry if it's a stupid question.
Eugene Levy, Hollywood icon.Watching a US stream and just seen the Capital One ad. I recognised the main guy but I only clocked a minute later its the Dad from American Pie. He looks younger than he did 20 years ago!
He dressed as him for Halloween a few weeks back, which looks like it took absolutely zero effort.Gardner Minshew is Uncle Rico.
Yes, they still don’t have a quarterback. Teddy’s a real fighter but he’s limited.Oh look the Broncos lost, I’m so surprised I can’t believe it.
It seemed that way early but then followed a predictable pattern for KC this season. Not sure what is wrong with them. Defense is carrying that team, oddly enough. The positive side is that if the offense somehow starts playing consistently well, KC becomes a formidable team.Offense looking back to it's best today. Hill getting free too easily.
KC's defense and offense seem to be taking turns in having good games, and therefore they grind out a lot of wins. Patrick Mahomeboy is apparently 5-1, when he doesn't throw a touchdown pass, so it's not like they only rely on their explosive offense. You do get the sense that they have to fix something before the playoffs if they want to be in with a shot, though.It seemed that way early but then followed a predictable pattern for KC this season.

Can’t see the Chargers winning the division, they’re not as good all around as KC. They’re not that far behind at the moment though.KC's defense and offense seem to be taking turns in having good games, and therefore they grind out a lot of wins.

The AFC landscape is really interesting with the Titans dropping off a bit, the Ravens looking vulnerable as well and the Patriots stringing wins together. 1st seed seems to be up for grabs. The Chargers are really fun to watch so I hope they win their division and make a deep playoff run.
Agree, KC will most likely take it, but I'm hoping for the Chargers. Herbert may be my favorite QB at the moment.Can’t see the Chargers winning the division, they’re not as good all around as KC. They’re not that far behind at the moment though.
The AFC is indeed interesting. Most of the teams with a shot at the 1 seed have pretty tough remaining games as well from what I can see. The Bills and Patriots play each other twice (starting with tonight) for example.
Yes, agree with all. Ravens also dealing with a lot of injury problems.Agree, KC will most likely take it, but I'm hoping for the Chargers. Herbert may be my favorite QB at the moment.
Based on the remaining schedule and how the teams have been performing, I would expect the Chiefs or the Patriots to take 1st seed. Ravens only meet teams with a .500 record or better including Packers and Rams. That's rough. Titans may have the easiest schedule, but have lost two in a row scoring 13 points in each, and will continue to be without Henry. Chargers schedule isn't that bad actually, but they haven't won consecutive games since early October.

If the Super Bowl ends up being the Pats v the Buccs, we have proof positive that the NFL is fixedThe war of attrition in the AFC is real. The Bills lost their CB White last week.
It‘s going to be the fecking Pats at the top in the end, isn’t it?
Yeah, but does she make him happy... truly happy?Tweet

We don't realize enough that even the worst QBs in the league are still absolutely winning at life.
She’s no Sean McVay of courseYeah, but does she make him happy... truly happy?
I don’t really have any set second team but there’s other teams I’ll be happy to see do well.So where do people stand on having a 2nd team in the NFL? It’s not another team to support like I do the Packers but another team to add a bit more interest into Sunday evenings when the Packers are on at silly o’clock.
That’s the same as me. My main reason was because the Packers bobble hat is pretty bland this year After looking around though it seems the generic design is bland regardless of team colours.I don’t really have any set second team but there’s other teams I’ll be happy to see do well.
When I first got into the NFL circa. 2010/2011, the only player I’d heard of (seems so weird to say now) was Brady which is really how I ended up supporting the Pats. So naturally when I catch up on games in 40 on game pass, I tend to watch the Bucs next. I wouldn’t say I see them as a 2nd team, don’t really have a 2nd team, just the team I probably am most interested to see the outcome of next. Teams I like otherwise more than others:So where do people stand on having a 2nd team in the NFL?

DUIWhy was Harris suspended?
Feck sakes.
Summer apparently, not sure what took them so long to give him the suspension.Feck sakes.
Massive. Whoever wins will go a long way towards demonstrating their legitimacy as a contender. Though I have my doubts about the Pats; I don’t think a real rookie QB has ever lead a team to the SB before.The AFC is such a yo-yo. Big big game tonight - excited!

I think strict allegiance to one team is outdated stuff in an age where you can watch any team. Odds are you are already supporting a team you don’t have any local, personal ties to so why not have another?

The case was only resolved in November, and then he appealed the 3 game suspension which allowed him to play against the Bills.Summer apparently, not sure what took them so long to give him the suspension.
Yep. That post was from the first quarter when our offense looked formidable and completely disintegrated after. I think the problem stems from teams having a cohesive plan to stop Kelce and Hill getting free and the other receiving forwards are either not getting into the space vacated by the defense to track Hill or they are and they just drop the ball. I haven't looked at the stats but it looks like we aren't getting as many as those 30+ yard down the field catches that we were in the last 2 years. Earlier on in the season you could point to our OL being shit and allowing no time for Mahomes to make the big play but that hasn't been happening recently.It seemed that way early but then followed a predictable pattern for KC this season.

Packers are my #1 too, but my gf is a fan of the Eagles, so we watch both every week, and I want them to do well. Always had a soft spot for the Browns too, but it was mostly because they were hopeless. They're decent now, so the novelty has worn off a bit.So where do people stand on having a 2nd team in the NFL?
