The end of the West Virginia - Houston game was unbelievable.

The 15-yd penalty didn't help either.  The proper defensive response on any last second hail mary play is to blitz.  The WRs need at least five seconds to make it down field.  So don't give the QB that much time to throw.

Social Media Calls Out The Refs For “Rigging” Eagles-Bills
 Game After Controversial Game-Changing Call (VIDEO)


https://www.totalprosports.com/nfl/refs-accused-rigging-game-eagles-bills-game-controversial-call/



NFL fans were outraged after watching the Eagles get what they believed was a very favorable call against the Bills during their clash on Sunday.

The refs absurdly called intentional grounding against Josh Allen after he got taken down by Haason Reddick in the second quarter. The tackle screamed horse-collar, considering the fact that the quarterback’s jersey ended up getting torn.

FSU got screwed.  And I say that as an Alabama fan.  In the end, it is entirely possible that a not-undefeated team wins the college playoffs.  And FSU as the undefeated champion of a major conference will not end up #1.

I'll tell you this...  I'd rather see Kyle Shanahan get $50M per year than any professional athlete on the field.

What is it that Shanahan has, that can make Brock Purdy a superstar quarterback?

Are you telling me that Opee Dildox could just "Run the 49er offense"?

He's either damned lucky in his draft picks/trades...or he knows where the light switch is inside a QB's head!

Shanahan has had two good years in his career.  And he isn't the QB coach.  He sucked in Washington.  And he cost the Falcons a Superbowl.

The Patriots' Thursday night victory over the Steelers bought Belicheck 10 more days to save his job.

Mac Jones' career as a starting NFL quarterback (for a team that wants to win) is over.

Belichick's Achilles' Heel is overpaying for Free Agent veterans with a history of injuries.

Pittsburgh hasn't fired a coach since 1968, which itself is astounding.

True. It's so very unlikely the Rooneys would get rid of Tomlin.

Tomlin can go wherever he wants.  He motivated the Boyz today, striking a blow to the Bengals' playoff hopes.

BILLS (9-6) win 24-22 vs. CHARGERS (5-10)

Bills boost playoff chances with late victory vs. Chargers
Alaina Getzenberg
Kris Rhim

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The Buffalo Bills defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 24-22 to keep their bid for the playoffs alive and well at SoFi Stadium on Saturday.

The Chargers, playing their first game since firing coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco last week, got five field goals from Cameron Dicker and briefly took the lead late in the fourth quarter. But a Tyler Bass field goal with 28 seconds left sealed the win for Buffalo.

The victory moved the Bills to 9-6 on the season with two crucial games to play against the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. The Chargers dropped to 5-10.

 Gotta give credit to whoever posted that for post-processing the AI as best they could and trying to correct the numbers.

Anyway...

Bills/Dolphins, Sunday night... AFC East title. This ought to be fun.

I'm sure the Chiefs' officials were in on the action as well.
