    Some really great games lined up this week. Shame Chargers Chiefs is Thursday, because it might ruin what otherwise looks like a great game. It's weird how little anyone pays attention to the Chargers, and yet they are really good this year and have the potential to beat anyone (still think the Chiefs will do it, at home on a Thursday).

    Saturday games are an interesting diversion, but the match-ups are a bit meh...Sunday Phins Vikings, Cowboys Colts, and Packers Bears are all potentially really entertaining games.

    Personally would like to see Eagles and Panthers cause the upset...something tells me I'll be disappointed there.

    Going for the chiefs tonight despite my gut...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,966 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Going for the Chargers tonight, they are 7-0 down early.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,914 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    Another inept refereeing performance. They missed a helmet to helmet on Rivers on one play then the next call a completely ludicrous pass interference on the chiefs in the endzone. Mike Pereira seems to think his job is to always defend refereeing decisions no matter what, he didn't seem to even believe his own interpretation on that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,966 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I'm not sure about the PI call but he did have his arm before he caught the ball.
    Balls of steel going for the two point conversion and the win.

    Delighted for the Chargers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,742 ✭✭✭MyPeopleDrankTheSoup


    i can't believe they went for the 2. never seen that before

    Good call on the prediction, and yeah that was a ballsy call on the two pointer. Chargers seem to have been flying under the radar all season for some reason, that game, on the road on a Thursday, is a serious statement. Rivers and Benjamin looked to be on fire tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,914 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec

    I seem to remember Ron Rivera doing that last year or the year before to win at some stage, maybe I'm misremembering


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,914 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    Actually the Panthers went for two THIS year against Detroit to win, but they didn't convert it and lost. I think it was actually the raiders did it recently enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭Fromvert


    A few bad calls at the end, but the Chargers going for the 2 pointer, balls of steel right there. They've a nice balance of attack and defence, no Gordon tonight who should be fit soon enough, Keenan Allen also leaving the game. They've something about them this year, they've also had an easy schedule but that win tonight is a bit of statement.

    I remember the Raiders doing it late in a game a few years ago when they were on a bit of a run.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Swap the teams and that's the most lol Chargers ending ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    i can't believe they went for the 2. never seen that before

    Titans tried it against the Chargers in London this year also. Didn't convert though.

    Sweet victory for the Chargers, however the Chiefs still hold the #1 seed. Chiefs away to the Hawks next week and Chargers at Mile High the week after will decide it. Sickening for the Chargers if they both win out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭mikemac2

    Jack del Rio sometimes did it with the Raiders and got a few wins


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    To be fair the Chargers would almost certainly have missed the extra point so going for two was the percentage play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,569 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Chargers are best team this season, certainly in terms of balance between offense and defense. No one is going to want to see them at the 5 seed.

    I'd dispute that they are the best team to be honest. They struggled against some bad teams and have been pretty inconsistent.

    Having said that they could end up as the number 1 seed. The Chiefs go to Seattle next week and if they lose that the Chargers could end up taking the division and the number 1 seed.

    It'd be interesting to see what happens when a team with no fans wins the Superbowl.

    It would probably look like that time Dublin won a Leinster final and drove an open-top bus down O'Connell Street the next day to celebrate, to the absolute indifference of hundreds of people going about their day.

    Raiders did it successfully in the opening game of the 2016 season away to the Saints and it set them up on the way to their first play-off season in 14 seasons

    Sometimes risks are just worth taking as it was for the Chargers on Thursday night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    Anyone know if Blackouts on Game Pass apply to everything this weekend?

    To everything ? The games tonight aren't blacked out and it's only ever the 6pm and 9.25pm games that are blacked out(well supposed to be anyway). Is that what you were asking about ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    Cheers, that's what I was asking

    The fecking Cleveland Browns will have something resembling a meaningful game in week 16 of a season. Mayfield has got some arm and it's amazing how a change of coach can change the atmosphere of a team.

    Mayfield didn't play great last night, but for the Browns to win when not playing well bodes extremely well for next season. There is a lot of young talent on the roster and I think they could do some very good things next year.

    The thing I find amazing is, that if Philadelphia lose against the Rams tonight, the Browns will have a better record than them and when you consider that the Eagles won the Superbowl last year and the Browns were 0-16, that's the beauty of the NFL right there.

    Madness in the cowboys and colts game.

    As much as I would have loved the colts TD to stand, it was clear it wasn't a TD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,369 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Rumour has it, Aaron Rodgers has never actually thrown an inaccurate pass. His WRs just don't run to where he wanted them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,914 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    Their o line never holds either. Nope. Never.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭mikemac2


    Ravens up 10-9 over the Bucs at halftime

    Winston made some good plays but the Bucs receivers had a few drops. The Ravens secondary was superb also

    Lamar Jackson is a long way off being an NFL passer but the run game is working as normal and it's how they win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Packers really struggling against the Bears but only 8 in it. Arguably the best highlight so far has been Khalil Mack getting half a sack with his ass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,364 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    The colts are doing their best to help the eagles shutting out the cowboys so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,364 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    TD Packers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,369 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Matt Nagy does some really dumb stuff sometimes. First running with Mizzel on 3rd down and failing then instead of going with the offense on 4th you run a terrible punt fake and hand all momentum to the Packers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,364 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Packers going for two and ties the game up.

    Can't read anything into the Browns win over the Broncos - the Broncos were atrociously bad, in particular Keenum and the coaching. The offensive playcalling was terrible - anyone with a remote interest in offensive playcalling could figure out when the Broncos were going to run or to pass. And Vance Joseph repeatedly made mistakes a HC should not be making, the worst being kicking the field goal on 4th and 1 on the Browns 6 yard line with 4 mins and 39 seconds left.

    This is not to say that the Browns don't have some talent on their team now - Dorsey and DePodesta have done a good job building a roster. The jury is still out on Mayfield, but it is looking more like his floor is a journeyman starter in the NFL. But nobody should reading anything into the Browns beating the Broncos last night.
