    It looks like the last time that Folk missed a FG in the 20-29/30-39yds range was in 2016. His average yards per KO hasn't looked that bad at all either in recent years. Bill probably used that draft pick on the kicker so he wouldn't have to draft someone that could help Mac Jones.

    I was listening to a Pats podcast a few days back and heard what could be Bill's get out of jail free card. Its been known since he was drafted that Mac was a Bob Kraft pick,not Belichick's so ultimately when the team fails (if they haven't already) with Jones, BB can then say that it was Kraft's fault not Bill's.

    Another viewpoint on those two was Belichick has been Kraft's fall guy in recent years where BB takes most,if not all, of the blame and Bobby K really hasn't received any. They just spent 250M on the largest outdoor jumbotron in the world yet both have been tight-wads when it comes to their salary cap.

    The “Carolina Kittens” broke out to a 14-0 lead. Now realty is setting in. It’s 14-14. Soon it will be a blowout.

    My game choices are poor. It’s the Dauphins - Kittens on one channel and 49ers - Brownies on the other.

    Browns - 49's tied at 10, second half. Didn't see that coming.

    yeah, it is hard to believe the 9ers and browns are tied in the 3rd quarter. Purdey is a little off today.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

  • Steven59Steven59 Posts: 8,776 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And the Brownies actually take the lead - 13 - 10

    First time this season that SF has trailed in the 2nd half.

    no Deebo, looks like McCaffrey may be out and losing going into the 4th quarter. not looking good for san fran

    Don't give up yet - Browns have a way of snatching a defeat from the jaws of victory :D

    And there ya go - just like that - SF has the lead. Browns are getting killed by mistakes/penalties like usual.

    Folk made his 70th straight FG under 40 yards. Did I hear that right? Why did BB let him go. Please explain wasting a draft choice on a kicker. Contract? Money. Stubborn?

    No one can figure that out especially not a pick that high. The undrafted guys were just as good as who got drafted. At least wait longer, the packers got their kicker at the end of the 6th round

    Watching the Browns, 49ers, yes defense was huge. Losing McCaffrey and Samuel also hurt the niners. When you have two stars like that go out, it discombobulates things. I think Shanahan has proven himself a versatile and adaptive coach, and he might have had his team ready enough for a win if those I juries were ahead of time.

    Sone questionable penalties really helped the Browns in the end. But yes, their defense played very well. And their QB hung in there and got very lucky he wasn't picked towards the end.

    Losing Debo and McCaffery also played a huge role for the 49ers. Purdy is going to get exposed very fast if he doesnt have elite weapons around him

    We are watching the Buffalo Bills implode. They are way overrated. This team had a good instant, but that moment has passed.

    The Giants just blew it at the end of the half. Their coaching is atrocious.

    If Buffalo manages to lose to these guys, they will be a third rate division champion.

    They will win in a weak division, but there is no Super Bowl in this team’s future unless they wake up.

    Showtime- it’s the time of year for creepy things to happen.
    For me it was the teams I was rooting for kept missing field goals.
    Bills missed 2 and even hitting 1 of those would have been very important. SF missed one at the end which would have been a game winner and the Eagles missed one which would have been huge. 🎃🎃

    Not making excuses but going to London, playing a team that had been there for two weeks was certainly a disadvantage that the NFL experimented with. It was a 9:30 am EST game.
    Then the very next week playing a 7:15 pm game.
    The NFL is tough enough but there’s a rhythm for teams. Play at 1:00 pm most weeks. Like I said no excuses but it’s hard to get a routine. They go back to the regular schedule in Foxboro next week.

    Daboll knows Allen better than anyone else. He knows what he likes and called plays for him for 3 years. They were sluggish again but a W is a W. Good teams win games when they’re not at their best. I’d rather they struggle now and get on a roll starting week 13.
