Crazy bunch of games today!
I watched Red Zone for the 1pm games, so I got to see a lot of really awful games in awful weather. Saints made it interesting for a while there, but the Lions took the game back. The Jameson Williams goal line crossing is one of the best you'll see. Broncos/Texans was pretty exciting too. Unfortunately the Broncos winning streak came to an end.
Then I watched the Eagles/49ers game and that was highly entertaining and came across like a "big game". Hilarious that the head of security for the Eagles got removed from the sideline. I thought the 49ers were crumbling under the pressure, but they just stuck to the system and it started working. What a team, and amazingly they are staying perfectly healthy this year. On defense it looks like they didn't bother pressuring Hurts and just kept everyone covered and let him hold the ball. Eagles have been winning close, sloppy played games lately, so they were bound to lose one. Cowboys next week should be fun!
And thankfully that broadcast never bothered telling us about the other games going on, so I got to watch Joe Flacco and the Brownies unspoiled. Flacco can still fucken spin it man, I was highly impressed. He looked way fresher than he did with the Jets. For some reason their defense started to stink though. Good for me, because I get to cheer on Flacco, but his team loses, which I still prefer
Like I said, the Packers are putting it together lately, and I am not too surprised they beat the Chiefs (and I called them beating the Lions last week too). The refs tried to give Mahomes the win, but they were denied. DPI is getting harder to call lately, and there were some other plays that would have been fouls earlier in the season but aren't now, including the one you guys mentioned, and another in the Eagles game, and one in the Brownies game. That's just how it is - inconsistent. Maybe it was a makeup call for missing the Mahomes penalty, who knows. They also screwed up when a Chiefs player went out of bounds going away from the end zone, which should keep the clock running. If they ruled forward progress, that should also keep the clock running.
Nobody wanted to make predictions, but I like my Packers prediction after that
