Saw Jags could make the playoffs in florida today if they keep winning so had to go look that up. Good web page from NFL who is in and/or in the hunt:

fyi, dolphins play Saturday night at 8:15 against the Bills. Big Game.

Dolphins Bills game was a pretty fun watch last night!!!

The Buffalo Bills claimed victory in a last-second 32-29 win over the Miami Dolphins Saturday night, a dramatic win after the game was briefly paused due to fans throwing snowballs onto the field.

During the pause at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium, officials announced that if anyone on the field is hit with a snowball, a 15-yard penalty would be assessed against the Bills, according to the NFL Network broadcast.

Announcers on the broadcast mentioned that iceballs were being tossed at the Dolphins' bench, with Miami head coach Mike McDaniel having a discussion with referees about it.

NFL 'Sunday Ticket' headed to YouTube beginning next season

Jags beat the Jets last night. Hard to believe they may make the playoffs if keep winning.

Fins sitting at a playoff spot at #7. They can't afford to lose.

Bucs squeak by again with another lousy performance. A win next week against Carolina and they're the NFC south champs, which is a testament to how terrible the NFC south is this year.

The playoff road is going to be brutal, but....

GO BUCS...

It's possible all 3 florida NFL teams make the playoffs!

Yep. I wonder what the betting odds for an all Florida superbowl are... I'll have to look that up when I get home just to put a $10 spot on it.

Dolphins on the bubble with the loss today.

Buccs clinched division

I was watching that Bills-Bengals game last night on Monday Night Football. What a tragedy with the player dropping like that. Horrible.

Crazy! Hope he pulls through. Good thing for him that medical personnel were so close and didn't waste any time getting to him.

Jags win!

Fins, Jags, and Bucs all in the playoffs. Dubyateeeff. 9-8,9-8, and 8-9 lol

Jags, Bucs, & Phins are all IN! I'm a Giants fan but pull for all the Florida teams as my backup. That will be an interesting rematch up in Buffalo for Miami.

The Jags got in on their defense.. I've had the unfortunate displeasure of having to watch their entire season due to Network obligations televising their games every weekend. Lawrence missed some big throws in that game against Tennessee and lucky his Defense stepped up and got the win.

Please lawd baby Jesus let the Bucs beat Dallas.

They'll seriously need to get their sh!t together.

I am going to do Florida a favor and NOT watch any of the games with Florida teams.

This is the last time I will mention any part of it till a Florida team wins the Big Show.

-------------------------
I was right.

I feel your pain. The Giants had a pretty good track record of winning when I wasn't watching the games or talking about them.

Giants just aren't there yet to post a good run in the playoffs this year. As long as Dallas loses first round I'll be a happy camper.

It will be a blow out without Tua, Armstead, Shell, and Mostert. Right now, none of them are a go for the game.

No starting QB, left AND right tackle out, and the best running back on the team. It's bad enough they have been so depleted in the secondary on D this year, but yeesh.

I'm going to be in duuuuval this weekend and thought I might go to a playoff game...NOPE...prices...ridiculous.

Buc's tix are still available for a (somewhat) reasonable price; nose bleeds ~$250-300 and decent seats <$1k. I'd go if I wasn't scheduled for the field on Monday and Tuesday.

GO BUCS! and dolphins and jags!

Great come back, Jax! I thought the fish were gonna pull it off. It wasn't pretty, but with their decimated team it was impressive.

Brady, Evans and Godwin need to bring their A-game tonight!

GO BUCS!

-------------------------
Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

Fins did vastly better than I expected with so many starters and backups out. They even had a practice squad player starting on the line.

Agreed

Man did the Bucs lay an egg. That was embarrassing to watch.

The Phins hung in there for sure!

How bout those Jags! I turned the game off and watched a movie when it was 17-0 then saw 27-0 on my phone and didn't even bother following up on the score anymore. I woke up to see what the final blowout score was and low n behold the Jags won by a point.

My Giants get the Eagles this weekend. God help us.

Yep, that was fugly. Time to turn my focus back to hockey. GO Boltz!

Well that was fun.. They all gone now! Giants were "humbled" by the Eagles.

How bout those Bengals, they are looking solid to give KC a run for their money.

Thank God the Cowboys lost!

Sunday, Jan 29th

3pm 49ers @ Eagles

The officiating against the Bengals was horrible. Talk about giving someone a win.

This is coming from someone with no skin in the game.

-------------------------
I was right.

gonna have to disagree with you ..... coming from someone else with no skin in the game.

There can be a call on every single play if you look close enough. These guys split the hair in the wrong direction.

Five questionable to outright bad calls.

-------------------------
I was right.

That last play was a clear cut, very stupid, and very obvious penalty right in front of an official. You simply can't do that crap with the game on the line and it would have been far more egregious to not call a penalty there. I can see the complaints about the replay of a down as being somewhat valid, but then again, the clock has to be right because of the huge impact it has on the game. They said it was blown dead but wasn't heard because of the crowd noise? Dunno about that


Edited: 01/31/2023 at 03:46 AM by RiddleMe

Which ones?

The recalling of the down.
There should have been a roughing the QB for a shot long after the play was over. KC got one a bit earlier.
The final interference.
The hold that wasn't called in the late hit that won KC the game.
The intentional grounding. The back was less than 5 yards away.




-------------------------
I was right.

The only thing wrong with that call is they blew the play dead which helped KC. He was clearly out of bounds.

I'm glad I have no skin in the Super Bowl, I can get 18 holes in with the course empty!!

On the down recall, they apparently blew it dead before the play progressed too much in order to fix the clock? So while the optics were bad to everyone, including me, apparently it was exactly what should have happened. Dunno, I haven't read the post op on that one from the league yet.

Roughing calls are tough. They get missed in every game and sometimes sacks that clearly weren't roughing get called as roughing. They really need to make the rule more clear cut.

The intentional grounding was a for sure bad call.

Holding is another thing that needs to be revised to be clear cut and obvious. By rule it happens on almost every play and doesn't get called. Hell, in the Miami/Buffalo game, Jaelen Philips was held 8 times clearly that I saw and it was never called once.


Edited: 02/02/2023 at 04:21 PM by RiddleMe

There is a penalty every play if you look close enough. I'm just saying the door needs to swing both ways. This game was very one-sided, which is odd in the NFL.

-------------------------
I was right.

I wish! Game doesn't start till around 630ish, course will still be moving at a snails pace.

-------------------------
Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

Pass interference.... really?



-------------------------
I was right.

It wasn't pass interference, it was holding, a lame hold, but holding none the less. And I didn't throw the flag.

the only betting I did on the game was lost before it even started:
Put $50 on Bucs v Jags and $50 on Bucs v fish
