Is Jalen Ramsey shaving points?

Rams may still win, but going slowdown in the 3rd threw off their rhythm. Against Tom fucking brady.

Credit to McVay, I thought for sure he'd puss out into OT. Bowles sending the house was idiotic.

I'm going to have to find the highlights of what happened with several minutes left in the 4th and the Buccs down by 2 scores to them coming back.

I stopped watching to get some food and then I come back going "WTF?" But I did see the final drive and the Rams kicking the game winner.

Just a nuts game.

What happened was fumbles. Rams actually stopped the Bucs twice on 4th down at 27-13.

I am trying to wrap my head around Todd Bowles' decision to blitz at all during those last three plays.

If you were going for the win, they should've gone for 2 instead of kicking the PAT. By kicking the PAT, they were playing for OT, which means you send 8 guys downfield and keep the BLEEPING PLAY in front of you. So stupid.

The Bucs dialing up a zero blitz there was truly bonkers dumb.

Also, the Bills look terrifying still.

I know nothing but if all the Rams need is 15-20 yards and Kupp can get pretty much whatever he wants whenever he wants, don’t you have to make Stafford throw early?

The execution sucked ass all the way around.

1st & 10 at LAR 25
(0:42 - 4th) (Shotgun) M.Stafford sacked at LA 24 for -1 yards (sack split by N.Suh and J.Pierre-Paul).
(0:35 - 4th) Timeout #3 by LA at 00:35.
2nd & 11 at LAR 24
(0:35 - 4th) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass deep left to C.Kupp pushed ob at LA 44 for 20 yards (M.Edwards).
1st & 10 at LAR 44
(0:27 - 4th) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass deep middle to C.Kupp to TB 12 for 44 yards (A.Winfield) [N.Suh].
1st & 10 at TB 12
(0:06 - 4th) (No Huddle) M.Stafford spiked the ball to stop the clock.
2nd & 10 at TB 12
(0:00 - 4th) Matt Gay 30 Yd Field Goal

They blitzed on both of the bolded plays, which was pretty freakin stupid.

Eta: Stafford's numbers this year vs the blitz: 74.4 completion %, 9.12 YPA, 13 TD, 0 INT.

the other thing is...we just saw the Rams kicker come up short on a 47-yard field goal attempt. SHORT. So, he must have had some injury issue of some type. So the true area for them to get to was more like the 25, not the 35. Blitz calls made no sense to me.

I bet at least 75% of us here said “Quisenberry” before Nantz did.

The NFL YouTube page helped me out with getting caught up on what I mostly missed:

This is new football. Crazy. 3rd and 6? Run your QB twice.

Milking the clock when you're 5 down.

Holy shit. Buffalo. Unreal. This back and forth has been incredible.

Post by **Sabo** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:43 pm

This has to be the best weekend of playoff football ever.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:44 pm

They should have squibed the kickoff would have taken a few seconds off, maybe one less play.

Not a good weekend to be stuck sick at home after deciding to unplug from cable.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:47 pm

I think esiason was the one who got to make the “whichever team has the ball last” comment in the studio and I guess that’s never been more appropriate and this has been great

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:47 pm

13 seconds. 2 plays, FG range. And it's through. For a game where I have no rooting interest, there's so much drama. Man, this is great.

I've been able to watch all the games this weekend via my Yahoo Mail app. Or a digital antenna.

Holy crap. Sorry Pruitt. Tough loss.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:59 pm

I watched 2 Bills games start to finish this year and they were 2 entirely different sports

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:00 pm

I wonder if a game like this changes NFL playoff OT?

Whoever won the toss was going to get a TD.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:03 pm

Brutal loss. So tough if you're a Bills fan.

Maybe. Guarantee of 1 possession each and then first to score wins?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:05 pm

That was just stunning. This entire weekend. Man. I can’t believe that 13 seconds - 13 SECONDS - was too much time left.

ETA: the best comparison of this game, especially the last two minutes, I could make for another one was the NCAA final a few years back when Carolina hit an acrobatic game-tying three, and then Villanova basically ran a hook-and-lateral for a buzzer beating three.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:07 pm

Sorry Pruitt. That’s brutal.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:08 pm

My stupid idea that I’ve probably said before is that if the game is tied after 60 minutes, you just continue as normal until the next team scores.

You just tied it at the gun? Cool, now kick off. You’re on the 27 yard line and it’s 2nd and 8? Great, keep going.

Yeah that's a lot. Wouldn't even wish that on the bills.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:22 pm

Besides not squibbing it to kill a few seconds - this so made no sense. Buffalo should have tackled every chiefs receiver on the first play and taken the five yard holding penalty…
