    100%

    Even as a Giants fan i thought that was Dallas ball

    Goes to show how crucial the call on the field is

    Cant believe the non-challenge by McCarthy. It cost the Cowboys. I know he didnt get the nod from above but he was watching the screen.

    I couldn’t understand why the official made an announcement that the giants player was down when even stevie wonder could see the ball was clearly out.

    A challenge flag with no time elapsed in the game. Never seen that before.

    The non challenge is classic McCarthy.

    I have redzone on. Sky have chosen rams cardinals. So there's that.

    Carson Wentz is going to be a healthy scratch for the Eagles.

    Odd hearing Boomer Esiason when you're expecting Tony Romo. He sounds somewhat like him too.

    Chiefs getting the benefit of the doubt x2 there.

    I couldn't see Herbert obviously short.
    I suppose the same could be said of the KC running back.... But he looked well short of getting the full ball out of the end zone to me.

    Ho hum , in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter... Just seems 2 calls going the 14-1 chiefs way is a bit tough to swallow!

    Crazy, considering he was an MVP candidate a couple of years ago.

    Something perverse in me wants to see a 6 win team in the playoffs though.

    Is that anything new though.

    Bears are good though, right? They seem good.

    Are they better with Foles or Trubisky though?

    Jeez, huge turnaround in rams cardinals... Chance to go up 10-5....likely to go in behind at halftime.

    With so much on the line who would have thought we'd be watching two QBs we've never heard of.....

    Definitely better with trubisky, foles was awful after his first two games

    I bet every team in the AFC is hoping the Colts don't get into the playoffs. They seem so solid.

    Mixed bag between both till trubiskey came back in the last 5/6 games. He has been pretty solid since

    Let me guess... They'll call this short for the Chargers, and the review will uphold the call on the field..... For the third time. Maybe I'm being cynical.

    Great...... Denver have Mahomes in the division, now it looks like Herbert is the man too!

    Letting Rivers go to the Colts, seems like a win win for both.

    Wow Chicago looked incredible in the half time helicopter shot...we will always have that...

    I'm not optimistic of winning this but if we are at least respectable and sneak in via the Rams, I'd be ok with that. If we get a trimming, which I pretty much always fear when we are playing Rodgers at this point, I would pretty much rather not have a playoff game.

    I'd like to see him succeed. He has a huge upside, although I've obviously only seen redzone Trubisky.

    He has a touch of theTannehills about him.... He was very raw coming into the NFL.... you might see him come into his own year 3 or 4.

    Damn, he's shown some flashes his first two years imo.

    Foles is a decent backup, but that's what he is in my view.

    The problem with watching trubs only on redzone is that really good worst habit is throwing straight into crowds in the end zone. Now that's a pretty fatal habit, to be fair, but it's like a mental block with him, he has improved in every other party of the game. Not fast enough for me and I hope we draft a QB this year in the first two rounds, but still...

    Well it’s because of his rapid fall of in form.

    Maybe. But if you have 2 QBs, you have none! That old cliche.

    I'd swap him for Lock in a heartbeat, and it looks like we'll be running with him for a third year.

    Young QBs normally take a huge leap in their 2/3 year. I think it too quick to give up on him.

    *disclaimer: you have watched 30x more Trubisky than me!

    Oh he definitely deserved his benching, and coaching staffs (staves?!) normally don't draft a Hurts if they have confidence in their man.

    Not sure how the Eagles get him off their books though.
