Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
Considering Josh Allen fakes slides and embraces contact, I have no idea how the Steelers can affectively commit to tackling him without it turning into a penalty, but if a defenseless tackler is engaged, just hit him wherever.
Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
Also, the defensive holding call on a ball thrown 30 feet out of bounds brought me to the Gronk being held in Carolina Swamp discussion in 2013; I still don't understand it.
Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
They changed it from PI to holding because the ball was uncatchable but for it to be holding it never could have been PI because it would have happened to have before the pass, so yeah confusing call.
Don't know about the Porter thing. Can you have a block in the back if the defender already has the runner wrapped up? It didn't look legal but nobody brought it up.
I'm still pretty sure they got away with a lost fumble in the first quarter on the other hand.

There are plenty of coaches who suck. A smaller subset of those are gruff, personality-lacking assholes. A smaller subset of that group are so toxic that their players routinely quit in them.
But all that, AND he was indicted for sexual assault? Why would any team willfully hire this fuck?

Tampa got away with a pretty blatant holding call on that touchdown. The OL literally tackled the DL.

Philly’s downfall in the second half of the season has been amazing, at least to me.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
If the Eagles are defending a play that would require the defense to make a tackle, that play will be successful.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
The fake slide really is some bullshit. You deserve to get your head taken off for that.
I mean it's brilliant and shows incredible athletic ability and awareness, but if you're going to act like a hero when you draw a penalty on it the next time, you're legit frat boy sleaze.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
What a brain fart by Hurts there. If he took the sack at the 4 that’s not great but retreating back into the end zone then grounding the ball. Woo boy.

Would be 25-13 right now if not for Sirianni outsmarting himself.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
I didn’t think it should’ve been a penalty because he slid so quickly and Jack had already started to make a play. That said, that doesn’t look like a fake slide to me, just an awesome juke.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
I think it only looked like an awesome juke because the defender pulled up thinking it was a fake slide which admittedly made it very cool but he knew exactly what he was doing with that backwards motion while he was slowing down. It was definitely more subtle than Pickett's bullshit at Pitt.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
Lions last two playoff wins have been over #1 overall QBs (Stafford, Aikman) so maybe that bodes well going up against Mayfield.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
All in all, hard to be too upset at that Steelers loss. They started poorly, but then played pretty well for most of the game. It was obvious to me that the Bills are a better team and deserved to win, but a bounce (or call) or two goes the other way, and the Steelers could have stolen that one.
While Allen didn't actually get into a crouch as if to slide on that run (as Pickett did in college, like Jerloma pointed out), but he did slow to a near stop and sort of stood up in the universally understood body language of "I give up." If they're going to pass so many rules protecting QBs, they need to consider that play dead once he did that.
But, I'm pretty sure Buffalo was going to score on that drive anyway.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
Josh Allen probably isn't the absolute best QB right now (albeit he's clearly in the "win because of" level), but man, no one is more fun for me to watch. Everything he does is at 11. I think the funniest thing yesterday was when they were going for a tush push, and instead of of letting his guys behind him push him forward, he chose to try a flying shoulder into the pile. I don't know if this is sustainable for what would turn out to be nine games in a row, but it sure is entertaining.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
I've seen it mentioned and god knows Aikman was harping on it, but man the eagles just looked like they were checked out.
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
The Q4 bench shots did little to change my opinion that Hurts is a weirdo and more like Russ than anyone wants to admit.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
I agree. I think I put Lamar and Mahomes ahead of him, but I can be argued for Josh. I do believe that Josh has the highest ceiling, it's just his (totally justified) belief that he's Superman can sometimes backfire. But we he goes supernova, there's no one better.

I'm a huge Bills fan and absolutely love Josh Allen.
Would trade him in a heartbeat for Mahomes.
As great as Allen and Jackson are, there's a big dropoff from Mahomes down to them.
