Normally I’d say no but this is Jerry Jones and all that goes with it so maybe.

Yeah Garrett's tenure would suggest so.

The game was close when they went for the first one. It's not as if you are playing a KC and are desperate to not give the ball back.

So is the game Sunday is even more doubt ? I take you mean Baltimore Lamar.

there's no way at this point you could take to the field and say it's safe to play them if they're still discovering positives today.

Ravens have shut everything down until at least Monday. No chance they are putting those guys on a plane to Pittsburgh today or tomorrow.

League has to either put the week 18 system and extra playoff berth in place or make the Ravens forfeit.

Or move the game to Tuesday.

Some of those plays by Cowboys last night were mind boggling.

Dalton had zero protection all night and at times it’s the simple mistakes that are killing them.

And the trick plays were stupid. Not only that but the defense started doing a good job and then you decide to try a trick okay in your own half rather than punt and let your defense get a stop. Like what sort of a message is that to send to the defense?

Ravens are due to play on Thursday though, unless they push that out to the Sunday. Nightmare for the league to sort out.

Itssoeasy

That NFL statement on the ravens vs steelers game is a mess. It says “should the game be played on Tuesday” I mean that shows the league are in no way confident this game will even happen.

Very quiet tonight? :pac:

Well the eagles aren’t playing until tomorrow night so I’m just watching red zone and there’s been nothing of much note.

Masked Man

Is that block illegal in the Pats game?

Itssoeasy

Colt McCoy in at QB for the New York football giants. Danny dimes grabbed the back of his leg and is in the blue tent.

KrustyUCC

Jeez Colt McCoy time

First pass screen for - yards

Second pass should have been picked

Disaster

I don’t know if this taunting stuff is maddening or just sad. Absolute joke.

Itssoeasy

Daniel Jones looks dome for the day. He went on the field for one play and didn’t look great. I know that buffalo is a good team but the chargers are the best 3-7 this season, because if a few things had gone their way then they wouldn’t be and Justin Herbert has played too good to be on a losing football team.

Itssoeasy

TD chargers.

eagle eye

I'd be of the opinion that Colt McCoy is a better QB than Daniel Jones and that doesn't mean I rate McCoy very highly.

Falcons are a pretty solid 3-7 team as well. And showing the Raiders that. Roll on the fourth quaretr collapse I hope

Itssoeasy

The raiders are having a poor enough outing.

ScrubsfanChris

Another week, another example Cam is done.
7 or 15 with 2 INTS

Itssoeasy

The jags doing their best rugby maul impression.

Itssoeasy

The pats are blessed there that the cardinals missed their attempt at a FG.

Masked Man

So excited for the Broncos game

Here comes the broncos game. I might switch over to that game once the early games all finish.

It’s a genuinely unique situation.

The falcons have has their way with the raiders. Did you see that coming.

Itssoeasy

Okay Justin Herbert with that cannon.

Itssoeasy

Don’t run the ball there LA. Simple little things they do that are baffling.

ScrubsfanChris

Pat's sneak the win.
Good thing we have a "19 straight Field goals" kicker

paulie21

All sorts happening in Minnesota

Itssoeasy

The chargers need to sort out these baffling decisions.

Itssoeasy

A special teams TD on an onsides kick.

Itssoeasy

It might not be over in Minnesota.

Itssoeasy

Shank by the panthers kicker.

I know this broncos and saints game may be interesting but it’s not going to be one for the purists.

Well - at the end of the first quarter the Broncos have 26 yds and the Saints have 48 yds - and the score is 0-0

It will be death by a thousand cuts for denver.

This is an audition for Hill imo, and he's not showing he can be anything other than a #2

I'd be happy for all 3 Denver dud QBs to be sacked. Done with them. Bring Fitzpatrick in.

MileHighGuy

Testament to how good the 49ers are that they can be so competitive playing against one of the best teams in the NFC, even with all the injuries.

BonnieSituation

KC not even making this one worth watching so early. FFS. I can't even find refuge in my own team.

---

Can someone tell me why Anthony Lynn can't seem to figure out what to do with Time-outs at all? Baffling is right!

The_Honeybadger

Mahomes and Hill absolutely abusing the Bucs

MileHighGuy

The Saints are taking pity on the Broncos tonight. Seem content to run the clock....

Hill isn't even a #2 - he is a gadget STer

Lock has to the end of the season to show he can be an NFL QB - the jury is still out but its not looking great.

As for this shambles - the NFL screwed Denver - the Broncos sent several hours of surveillance tape from the QB meeting room, along with contact tracing data and interviews to the league on Friday morning. According to a Broncos source, while the quarterbacks weren't textbook in following the COVID protocols, the video sent to the league shows them wearing masks for extensive periods, distancing and in possession of tracers. The meeting took place in the Pat Bowlen Room - which is used for press conferences, so it is not a small room.

In reality this is a consequence of the shambolic nature of the Ellis Trust running the Broncos - a team with a visible owner would have been able to make the NFL back off and either allow the QBs to play or postponed the game - as they have done with many other teams this year.

The Trust running the team has to end by the end of this season - either Brittany Bowlen is put in charge (and Ellis is sent to retirement) or the team is sold to Robert Smith - preferably the second option.

MileHighGuy

Yeah, i actually meant to say Hill was a #3 at best.... That's why I thought they wanted to take a look, either that or to protect Winston in a game they were guaranteed to win.

I understand the Broncos could argue about a variety of mitigating factors, and overall I do feel they were a bit hard done by, i.e. They were at such a disadvantage and losing their bye week earlier for nothing they had done themselves, but the buck stops with the QBs as far as I'm concerned.

To leave a team quaterbackless (new word) in the middle of the season because you couldn't keep a mask on is unforgiveable imo.

I certainly hope he's The Cure for our ills.

At least they rams vs niners game is close because it’s not been the best late window of games ever. Also, having Patrick mahomes as my fantasy QB has worked well this week.

The blame doesn't solely lie with the QBs - the sensible thing to do was have one QB isolated, working without being in contact with the others - then if 3 went down there was still one able to play. Putting the 4 QBs into the one room for a meeting was a daft thing to do and that is either down to the coaches or the administration (or both)

It's still on for TB. Would suit me in our head to head league if TB wins despite me picking KC.

The_Honeybadger

Stunning win for the 49ers I didn’t give them much hope tonight with all of those injuries.

Itssoeasy

Ball game in tampa.

I am some idiot playing Fant and Patrick on my fantasy with Broncos Offence like THAT (benched Claypool on the inkling the game won't go ahead). I probably wouldn't have beaten my Mahomes-owning opponent eitherways but egg is firmly on my face.

For some reason I thought they'd play short tosses to the WR and TE but it was actually hard to watch how badly disjointed it was.
