jerryskids 5,735 Posted September 15, 2023 That Addison catch salvaged an otherwise disastrous FF night, especially since I'm playing against the best team in the league. Also that catch helped me win my biggest bet of the night: $25 on Smith 60+ re yds, Addison 40+ re yds. +188 for $72 payout. I don't usually bet more than $10 a play, but it was a "no-sweat" bet where you get a bonus bet back if you lose, so I figured what the hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes no sense to give the ball to the other team when they didn't recover the fumble. That is completely asinine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The browns would have beaten the chiefs in the playoffs a couple years ago but the touchback rule saved the chiefs in a 22-17 victory. That probably goes down in browns lore as “the fumble part 2”. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2021/1/17/22236172/nfl-fumble-touchback-rule-browns-chiefs-playoffs-rashard-higgins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 6,373 Posted September 15, 2023 Eagles definitely don’t look great but I’m encouraged that they’re 2-0 against two teams that aren’t total zeroes with new O and D coordinators and Hurts not playing well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a fair take. I agree. The Eagles have looked flawed but found a way twice against decent opponents. They've been beatable, it was there for the opponents both times but neither could pull it off. They also have a higher gear that they can play at which we haven't seen yet. For their part, the Vikings were the better team against Tampa and Philly but self-destructed both times. The defense looks legit and offense looked good when they weren't fumbling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Eagles are the more talented team than Minny for sure, they seem to be finding themselves now with new coordinators and teams scheming up new looks for Hurts. Now it’s on Philly to adjust. I’m loving our new young DL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Hurts has to show he can smash through that too Eagles just need to pound the ball more with the running backs vs the QB designed runs and Hurts needs to get better at hitting the receiver on slants and quick routes. He either wants to go deep or run. I think Philly will be fine but they have to readjust. Just glad the schedule is light up front. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,993 Posted September 15, 2023 I agree, one of the dumbest rules in sports. That being said, as someone on GMF said this am, all the rules (now) so heavily favor the offense - can’t give them every damn break. There was a fumble, somebody has to get the ball. The offense had the ball, that’s reward enuff to keep it - but there has to be some consequence too…… I say offense ball, placed on the 50. They can cry but sure AF beats the hell out of the other team getting the ball. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 6,373 Posted September 15, 2023 I can only think of one other time I’ve ever seen that fumble rule enforced and I’m pretty sure it was a Dawkins strip against the Niners? To give you an idea of how little it comes into play. Honestly I think it should be the offense’s ball at the one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time for the Chiefs to rebound in a hot and muggy Jacksonville game with potential for rain. Good luck @Fumbleweed That's what Dan Campbell has been hinting at. Folks in the media think Gibbs was underutilized eek one, Campbell's been saying they were easing him in. We'll see how it goes. It's concerning how Decker is hurt so I'm curious to see how he'll handle his O-Line. Lions have better depth at guard than tackle. Fortunately Seattle's D-Line isn't considered particularly great.

Voltaire 4,780 Posted September 17, 2023 Seattle moved the ball well. Once they got in the redzone their offense collapsed but it didn't matter since these officials love throwing dubious flags on the Lions to keep giving the Seahawks free first downs until they finally scored. CJ Gardner Johnson limped off the field, hope he's OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
