What is going on with these coaches and not calling timeout with 30-40 seconds left in the half/game when they are driving with the ball?? I saw it like three times this week where the offense tried to ‘hurry’ after a pass caught inbounds instead of the coach just calling a timeout.
Is there some secret analytics thing going on where teams want to minimize their chance of scoring?

Terrible clock management. The falcons at the end of the first half had around 26 seconds left and 3 timeouts and let the clock run. On top of that a rookie QB who just became the starter, for crying out loud use a timeout!
Wow the Falcons really deserved to lose that game. Is Raheem Morris just unaware you can use timeouts in overtime???
He did understand that if his team stopped Washington and forced a field goal his team needed time to drive down and at least try and match the field goal, right?
Honestly, if I were the owner I would just fire him. These coaches that fail at late game clock management and decision making without being incredible with the rest of the game are simply irredeemable.
I am not even a Falcons fan. I just can’t understand how these coaches can be so incompetent.

I ask the same thing when it comes to taking FG's, the Packers might have won if they took a FG early on last night but instead they lost and left an easy FG on the table.
Coaching is horrible all around with zero accountability
I haven't watched a complete NFL game since mid-season, I've taken to just watching the 10-15 minutes of highlights for most games. The trend I see in announcing is disappointing, instead of telling viewers what's happening on the field the announcers seem to be actively pulling for certain teams to win. That's OK with a local broadcast, but with a national audience the goal has always been unbiased. When and why does that seem to be changing??
I can’t understand how Saquon Barkley isn’t even in the MVP conversation when he’s over 2000 yards now. Granted it usually goes to a QB but Romo and Nantz and basically all the NFL network guys say it’s either Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. I don’t think Romo even mentioned Saquon. And now I’ve heard talk Joe Burrow is in the running with the Bengals winning games now.
Both Saquon and Derrick Henry are averaging 5.8 yards per carry. Tremendous seasons for both. I’m sure a QB will win but I’m thinking Saquon especially deserves serious consideration.

I'd give the MVP to Lamar Jackson if it were up to me, I hate the Ravens but Lamar is lights out as far as stats go.
39 TD's to 4 int?
850 yards rushing with another 4 tds and almost 4k yards passing?
Lamar in my opinion
Allen’s #’s last year were way better than Jackson’s but Baltimore was 15-2 and Buffalo was 11-6. Now this year we’re going by #’s? Instead of value to favor Jackson? Allen is 19-3 in his last 22 games. He’s set all kinds of QB records this year. If he doesn’t win this year it’s only because of one thing and I won’t pull punches to say it

I always go by stats, as I said I hate the Ravens.
Allen is having a great season obviously and he is doing it without big name personnel, I thought he would suffer without Diggs and I was way wrong.
I'd be fine with Allen winning it but this year Lamar's stats are tough to beat.
for me the MVP boils down to what i can envision a certain team looking like without their candidate
and sans Josh Allen, i think the Bills would be much worse off. there is no Henry or Saquon to mitigate that loss. there's basically a bunch of middle-of-the-road skill position players whose play he himself has elevated
i suspect Buffalo would be floundering around .500, at best, without him
not to mention, Allen and his team are the only ones to beat Kansas City in the past calendar year

Game got way too close. Vikings defense pretty much dominated until the end.

Doesn't look like Allen's numbers were "way better" than Jackson's in 2023. We can interpret stats how we choose, but it looks like from an overall average perspective that Lamar Jackson was the MVP in 2023 because his play says he deserved it, not because his team won more games.
If we compare stats for the two outstanding QB's for this season thus far, they are very similar and still tend to favor Lamar Jackson. Either player could win the award and be deserving. In the whole scheme of things it doesn't really matter, neither player has been able to bring home the Lombardi Trophy. They are both still chasing Mahomes.

I’ll make a bold statement and stand behind it. If Barkley plays to get the rushing record the Giants will stack 8 guys on the line to make sure he doesn’t break the record against them. They may lose 50-0 but Barkley will get 37 yards in the first half

Be logical, man, stop thinking like a Homer!! The only reason Josh Allen runs for TD's like he does is because the Bills running backs suck canal water. Josh Allen is their goal line rusher. The Ravens, on the other hand, have a bulldozer. You can argue this all you want, I realize you have this love affair with Josh Allen and I agree he's a great QB and may even win NFL MVP this year and would be deserving, I said that above if you read the post with an open mind.
If you want to argue your original premise, the one I highlighted and then de-bunked, fine. Otherwise, I have no time to waste. Stay safe and have a nice day. Good luck for the Bills in the playoffs, they'll need it.
If he(Josh Allen) doesn’t win this year it’s only because of one thing and I won’t pull punches to say it.
It is so obnoxious to say something like this especially when it is not even remotely true.
Personally I think Allen deserves the MVP because he has done more with less this season. The Bills surrounded him with mediocre WRs and he has thrived like elite QBs are supposed to. But if Lamar wins it that is understandable as well since he has also had an incredible season.

Cook has 15 rushing TD’s. You can’t make idiotic statements like this.
Allen had 15 rushing TD’s to Jackson’s 5 and his QBR was better last year.
Allen had the two NFL moments this year. Forth down TD to beat the Chiefs to ruin their perfect regular season and his throw and catch for a TD, diving in the snow.
No team has ever beaten two 14 win teams ever until Buffalo and because they have Josh Allen. MVP

Bill did it for his kid who the first thing he did was hire him from the U of Washington. I dont blame him for trying to set his son up for a HC job but definitely agree the older coached need to stay away from college with the amount of work it takes

Since the Vikings-Lions game tonight is an unprecedented one, I'm curious to see predictions? I'll be honest, I'm on the fence about this.
1) On the surface my purple skin says "heck yeah no problem you betcha we got this"
2) But then my inner Viking has seen so, so many of these where we choke
3) But then I also start to think about all of the one score games we've won with KOC and he has this team built differently.
And then I start at #1 again and the cycle in my brain keeps going.
At the start of the season, I thought the Lions were the best team in the division and the Vikings would surprise and finish in second place.
With all the injuries on defense for the Lions, plus two more guys out for this game (Montgomery and Mosely) I think the Vikings will win tonight's game.
Of course football's a funny game, but unless something out of the ordinary happens the Vikings should be able to put up more points.
The last time I looked the Vikes had the #4 rated defense in points given up and the Lions haven't stopped anyone for the last month, giving up 130 points in the last 4 games.
GO VIKINGS!
2013,14 and 15 Certificate Award Winner Harmon Killebrew Master Set and Master Topps Set
I have no prediction for today's game, as I predicted 4 to 7 wins for them this year.
I'm still in disbelief that outside of a handful of positions (JJ, Darrisaw, O'Neil, DePaola, H. Smith) that the roster was riddled with question marks, including Jordan Addison getting arrested (no NFL punishment thus far).
Recent drafts have been a failure, as hitting on 1 or maybe 2 players each year that actually make the roster, let alone contribute is unacceptable.
Each one of their free agent signings, including the LT from JAX replacing Darrisaw has defied the odds.
The Vikings were two plays away from beating Detroit earlier in the season as Darnold overthrew an open JJ on the sidelines that would have setup a game-winning FG.
I will say this, if the Vikings Rookie kicker has a perfect day, I like them to win.
Let's hope the dirtiest player in the NFL, Kerby Joseph, doesn't hurt JJ or one of our top players again. He leads the league with 9 interceptions and was snubbed by coaches and players and didn't make the Pro Bowl roster.
Great news for Atlanta. The Tampa defense is terrible. It makes you wonder why New Orleans isn’t in the play-offs. The score is 13-3.

The flip side to this is that, among common opponents, Detroit has something like a 100pt greater point differential than the Vikings. Detroit is getting back Alex Anzalone, which is huge for the defense.
I have no idea what will happen other than it won't be 10-7 for a final score.

Because they crushed the Titans and Jaguars, who we also beat, but not as badly.
In the division, they didn't do that. They only beat us by 2 and their defense has been bad the last 5 games with all the injuries.
I'm hoping for a good game, I think the Vikings will win as long as we score touchdowns and don't settle for field goals.

1) On the surface my purple skin says "heck yeah no problem you betcha we got this"
2) But then my inner Viking has seen so, so many of these where we choke
3) But then I also start to think about all of the one score games we've won with KOC and he has this team built differently.
And then I start at #1 again and the cycle in my brain keeps going.
So predictions from this group?
At the start of the season, I thought the Lions were the best team in the division and the Vikings would surprise and finish in second place.
With all the injuries on defense for the Lions, plus two more guys out for this game (Montgomery and Mosely) I think the Vikings will win tonight's game.
Of course football's a funny game, but unless something out of the ordinary happens the Vikings should be able to put up more points.
The last time I looked the Vikes had the #4 rated defense in points given up and the Lions haven't stopped anyone for the last month, giving up 130 points in the last 4 games.
GO VIKINGS!
I have no prediction for today's game, as I predicted 4 to 7 wins for them this year.
I'm still in disbelief that outside of a handful of positions (JJ, Darrisaw, O'Neil, DePaola, H. Smith) that the roster was riddled with question marks, including Jordan Addison getting arrested (no NFL punishment thus far).
Recent drafts have been a failure, as hitting on 1 or maybe 2 players each year that actually make the roster, let alone contribute is unacceptable.
Each one of their free agent signings, including the LT from JAX replacing Darrisaw has defied the odds.
The Vikings were two plays away from beating Detroit earlier in the season as Darnold overthrew an open JJ on the sidelines that would have setup a game-winning FG.
I will say this, if the Vikings Rookie kicker has a perfect day, I like them to win.
Let's hope the dirtiest player in the NFL, Kerby Joseph, doesn't hurt JJ or one of our top players again. He leads the league with 9 interceptions and was snubbed by coaches and players and didn't make the Pro Bowl roster.

I have no prediction for that game either, just looking forward to what should be a great game.

Great news for Atlanta. The Tampa defense is terrible. It makes you wonder why New Orleans isn’t in the play-offs. The score is 13-3.
The flip side to this is that, among common opponents, Detroit has something like a 100pt greater point differential than the Vikings. Detroit is getting back Alex Anzalone, which is huge for the defense.
I have no idea what will happen other than it won't be 10-7 for a final score.
Because they crushed the Titans and Jaguars, who we also beat, but not as badly.
In the division, they didn't do that. They only beat us by 2 and their defense has been bad the last 5 games with all the injuries.
I'm hoping for a good game, I think the Vikings will win as long as we score touchdowns and don't settle for field goals.
GO VIKINGS! SKOAL!

Geez both my teams lost today but both in the playoffs. Lets go Lions tonight hard to make a choice I like the Vikings as well.
