2022 NFL Gameday Thread: C’mon Damar (Part 1)

The Miami Dolphins folks

At this point I’m not sure this scenario:

Bengals have to go to Buffalo, get beat up, maybe lose, then winner faces Chiefs in AFCCG

is much worse than this scenario:

Dolphins pull out some miracle here, Cincy beats up on JAX at home, play Chiefs in AFCCG

So I’m largely ambivalent. Bills look beatable. But then again they can also turn it around at any time.

Huh? I mean literally have the RB get up, run up to the line, line up under center in that Jalen Hurts sneak formation and punch it through.

Right, I was complaining about the choice of shotgun.

Ah, yeah well if you’re gonna run the play clock down to 5 seconds before breaking the huddle you might as well go all the way and pick the dumbest formation too.

That is going to be put to a very difficult test next week.

Quick preview of where we’re going next from FO:

And then there’s the middle matchup today, a battle between two teams with negative DVOA. In most years, the New York Giants would be the luckiest team in the playoffs, with Brian Daboll standing on his head to propel an on-paper inferior team into the playoffs. But not in 2022, where the Minnesota Vikings managed to go 13-4 despite having a negative point differential. The Vikings managed to go 11-0 in one-score games, ending up as the ninth-worst playoff team in NFL history. And yet, they’ve been dealt a comparatively easy hand.

Clearly short why are refs always terrible

Other game started

That graphic where if you reverse the outcome of every team’s one score games (and leave the rest intact) and the Vikings would be 1-15.

Just QB sneak it with Allen if it’s short. Easiest call ever.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

This rugby scrum thing is awful.

Uhh what

They never even brought out the damn chains on the field, and the one ref with by far the best view ruled it short and held up the 4th down hand sign.

But then someone said “first down”, so that’s the call on the field. Makes sense.

This game is the stoppable force vs. the movable object.
