You just expect your kicker to hit a 44 yarder. The guy hadn't missed from under 50 all year and I'm sure they didn't want to risk either the possibility of a turnover or a penalty. Get a holding call and now that 44 yarder becomes a 54 yarder and your kicker is 1/4 from over 50 with a long of 52. He was 8/8 from 40-49 before that kick.

Going back to last night's game... man, I can't help but feel terrible for Tyler Loop. The entire season comes down to a rookie kicker and he just absolutely chokes on a 44 yarder. Gotta wonder if he'll recover from that. He's had a solid rookie season making 30 of 34 attempts but obviously missed the one that counted the most badly. He also went 1/4 from 50+ with a long of 52. He'll probably have competition in camp next year. If you aren't good to at least try from 60 in today's NFL you about can't kick in the league these days.

I mean, we're talking about the franchise that fired Bill Belichick, so...

I don't think the organization will publicly re-embrace Cam back into the fold until we have definitively solved our QB issue. Once we have another legit franchise QB then I think they'll feel comfortable having him involved again but I don't think they want the spectre of Cam overshadowing the current state of the position. You don't want Cam Pounding the drum and hyping everyone up for Bryce to go out there and throw for 54 yards.

Yeah, the Raiders need a full on rebuild and there's no place for a coach on the wrong side of 70 in that. I think everyone involved there thought that team was a lot closer to competing than they actually were and that's why they hired Carrol and he brought in Geno then they drafted a RB high in the 1st. Those are all win now type moves for a team that proved nowhere close to winning now.

I like the rookies. We need to sign an impact vet. Rookie edges often need 2-3 years before making a real impact.

Yeah, I think the Texans are relieved to see the Steelers win. Not that they were scared if the Ravens but I think you'd clearly rather face the Steelers.

That was a great game that unfortunately got decided by blundering kickers at the end. LOL

Steelers kicker is the happiest man in planet Earth right now.

Big return means they only need about 15 yards for a FG

Missed XP is potentially HUGE.

Jesus, now the Ravens completely blow a coverage for a TD.

Or the Steelers could just completely blow a coverage. lol

Feels like OT.

That's what you want to see from Lamar.

With this essentially being a playoff game, I see Lamar is already in playoff mode.

Those Rodgers legs felt 40+ years old there.

Yeah, sticking with Penix probably cost him his job. They probably win the division with Cousins.

Eagles rest their starters and blow a chance at the #2 seed by losing to Washington because the Bears unexpectedly lost to the Lions. Eagles needed to beat the Commanders and for the Bears to lose to the Lions.

Well, the Rams are in a dogfight with the 3-13 Cardinals... who we also lost to, so... LOL

We set an NFL record today officially becoming the only team in the NFL to make the playoffs twice with a losing record.

If y'all keep this poo up there's gonna be a housecleaning.

Well, looks like we've successfully backed our way into the playoffs. LOL

Yeah, it's not enviable. Cousins still looks like a decent stop gap. Penix showed promise as a rookie but regressed pretty hard in his second season then of course suffered his third ACL tear. I don't think they can plan on him being their future.

Yeah, the division should be tougher next year if Shough continues progressing, Mayfield gets healthy, and the Falcons play Cousins.
