    I wonder how many 20-point spreads they'll see? They're opening as 16 1/2-point underdogs at Dallas next week.

    I wonder why they won't give Josh Rosen a chance. I get that they're tanking, but shouldn't they want to see what he can do?

    I didn't know what "PointsBet" was until I read about it after Ravens-Dolphins -- you can bet the spread and collect X dollars for every point above the spread your bet wins, or pay X dollars for every point below the spread in a loss. Some guy made a fortune on the Ravens and undoubtedly several more did so today with the Pats. But eventually that's gonna run dry ... though maybe not by betting against the Dolphins this season.

    Even with the AFC East in a shambles - the Bills are still looking at an 8-8 season. I'm guessing it will be good enough for McDermott to keep his job, but you have to wonder how you judge any coach who gets four free wins in a season and can't make the playoffs.

    What a cavalcade of nonsense at the end of the Bears-Broncos game.
    The Broncos scored with 31 seconds left to cut it to 13-12, then lined up to go for two. They got called for a delay of game penalty, went for the PAT and missed it, but the Bears were offsides. So the Broncos brought the offense out to go for two again and got it, and lead 14-13.
    Bears get the ball and complete a pass in the middle of the field with one second left -- maybe -- and kick a 52-yard field goal to win 16-14.

    Amidst all of this, I had the Bears -2 1/2. So it went from looking good; to dammit, but at least they can still cover in overtime; to oh no; to whew; to holy God they're going for two AGAIN!?; to you gotta be kidding me; to maybe they can hit a hail mary; to they win but not by enough.
    Everybody involved in that debacle gets a hearty "Fuck you."

    I don’t want to see contact on every contested pass turned into interference.

    If the Dolphins go winless this season, will the original Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold a champagne toast?

    He did. And he still slid on a yard short on third-and 16 when he could have gotten the first down. They went for it on 4th-and-one and if they had been stuffed and lost on a field goal, he would have been roasted

    The fastest timeout in NFL history.
