Seeing as this is the week 18 thread I’ll ask the question here. If players break single season records this weekend with an extra game do you think there should be an asterisk next to them ? I personally don’t because if that was the case then every record since 1978 would have to have one. It’s a single season record, not a 12/14/16/17 game record so I don’t think there should be any asterisk or anything else attached to it.

Drew Lock running all over the Chiefs

Itssoeasy

14-10 broncos at the half. Given how the opening drive for the broncos went I wasn’t expecting them to be ahead. What does a potential broncos win for the playoffs permutations if anything does anyone know ?

Itssoeasy

Melvin Gordon TD broncos go back in front 21-17.

Think it means the Chiefs are out of the running for the number 1 seed, could drop as low as 4 seed. Titans still need to beat Texans to secure #1 if Cinci or Buffalo win.

Chiefs would still have the division but this would bring Cincinnati and New England into play for #1 seed. Patriots unlikely given they'd need Jets to beat Buffalo. I think.

Itssoeasy

The chiefs have had two penalties in a row.

eagle eye

This is insane, where are the Broncos getting a performance like this from? You'd have expected for a lot of them to be taking it easy in this game.

Chiefs in serious danger of losing the no.1 seed and the huge advantage of a bye week.

eagle eye

I think Melvin Gordon had his last play for the season right there.

Mr. Guappa

Wow. Broncos marched down the field then that. Turns the game on its head.

Kev8360

that was a huge play for the chiefs

Itssoeasy

Come on Denver you need to hold onto the ball.

Itssoeasy

Nice response from Denver.

Itssoeasy

Nice catch. Fair play to Denver for not just giving up.

Itssoeasy

FG Denver so chiefs leads by 4 and the broncos faithful aren’t happy.

Mr. Guappa

I've barely seen the Broncos all year. Look like they are a QB away from being serious contender.

Chiefs and Mahomes don't look like the fearsome prospect of the last few years.

Itssoeasy

No the chiefs haven’t looked as good as the last few years. Yes they are 11-5 but there was a very rough patch during the season.

Itssoeasy

First down chiefs and that’s the ball game. The chiefs will likely win but if the broncos didn’t fumble the ball the chiefs were in trouble.

Why the hell would any American take any medication given the horrible potential side effects.

Itssoeasy

If the chiefs play like this in the playoffs I can’t see them going far in the playoffs.

Itssoeasy

The important game is up next.

And yet Fangio is on a really hot seat according to Rapoport. Really sucks the way the league is now with a coach's success almost being entirely dependent on the QB he has because Fangio is excellent. Gone are the days where you could have a below average QB but be a legitimate contender with a mean defense and strong run game.

If Fangio does get fired he'll probably go wherever Harbaugh goes, unless he stays at Michigan. It'd be really interesting if both team up in Vegas (but I hope it's in Chicago...)

Hopefully tonight isn’t this Eagles legends last game at the Linc.

Itssoeasy

10-7 Dallas after one quarter. Dallas got away with a blatant OPI call.

Dallas should win here but its a really bad look for them. Also whoever phillys backup qb is the best qb in the nfl

eagle eye

I just don't understand why Dallas played their starters. They are division champs with a home field game. Why wouldn't you rest your starters and be in great shape next week?

Itssoeasy

Because they’re worried eagle eye because despite the national media all but blowing them after the Washington game they’ve looked like the cowboys. And looks like I made a good call to go to bed at HT with it 30-17 Dallas.

Fangio fired now, per Adam Schefter.

Jolly Red Giant

Fangio deciding to kick a FG with 4mins and 30 secs left down by 7 against KC - rather than go for it on 4th down - summed up his time as HC in Denver - make the score look respectable rather than try and win.

Gat a decent HC and a QB and this broncos team will not be far away from contention - Paton has a big couple of weeks - pick up the right HC (and coordinators) and get either Rodgers or Wilson.

STAY THE **** DOWN HUNTLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Itssoeasy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118444934#Comment_118444934

And the crowd in Denver last night weren’t shy in showing their displeasure with Fangio going for the FG.

Itssoeasy

The jags are ahead against the colts and the colts a few minutes ago didn’t convert on 4th down.

Itssoeasy

Tyler Huntley picked off.

Itssoeasy

Or maybe not.

it was upheld but that looked iffy.

Itssoeasy

Big Ben gives it back the ravens.

Itssoeasy

TD lions with some trickery. 7-7

If Ravens are going to waste my time, I'm not gonna waste my Sunday evening.

Itssoeasy

The New York football giants tried what I think was a QB sneak from their own three yard line on third and NINE. Okay then.

Ohmeha

Joe Judge has secured his firing tomorrow morning with that spectacular 3rd and 9 play

Ohmeha

NY Giants are toxic. Mata needs to get his shyyt together as an owner or gtfo out

Itssoeasy

The colts are **** the bed.

Foxtrol

Can't believe Eagles are getting a first plus for Wentz - hopefully the 49ers can find a similarly desperate/foolish team to give the same for Garoppolo

Foxtrol

Both 49ers starting OTs out now with that surprising Trent Williams inactive. Not feeling confident for this likely must win game

Oat23

The Bears 4th down play calls today have been hilariously bad. Dalton doesn't have a clue what to do.

Itssoeasy

The lions could not try and score again and get the no1 pick but credit to them they are going for it and lead the packers.
