NFL 2024-25

[smevchenko]

As a Dolphin fan, the thought of the Chiefs going undefeated & emulating the '72 Dophins is nauseating. Think they play they still have to play the Bill's & then the Steelers on the last week of the regular season.

Yeah Bills play Chiefs in Buffalo on Sunday.

Bills have struggled to beat them in the playoffs in recent years, but have actually beat them the last 3 years in the regular season (all at Arrowhead though).

Can't actually see which of the late games is being shown on Sky Sports, but would have thought this one.

Seems like the Redskins (Commanders) fans on here have gone quietly into the night.
Fly Eagles Fly!!!!!

This is the game of the week. I imagine it will be on sky. The NFL tries to clear the 425 pm game so that most of the country sees it. Good for ratings that. I think after week 11 they start the flex schedule. I know it’s strange to English football fans but the change the game times , and sometimes even the day and time, 10 days before.

Years gone by they kept the schedules from the start of the season so they ended up getting stuck with some shit match ups. Some teams they thought would be good and they ended up being shit-like the Jets this year!!

Unless its the Lions on its always redzone for me. Can't beat it on a Sunday evening here with all the 1pm games.

 

[Frank the Yank]

Red zone is great especially with there are a lot of games on at the same time. The late window, games that start at 405 pm or 425 pm tend to be less in number. The NFL has a game of the week and the match ups are usually good. That helps the national ratings to no end.

When there are numerous games on the 100 pm window the hour between 320-430 pm is known as the witching hour. Multiple games will be one possession games and there is bound to be drama be it a come from behind last second victory or a defensive stop that prevent a team trailing from winning.

Chiefs v Bills is a good game

Bills get into a two possession lead!

Usually some drama late in this matchup, hopefully the Bills can get it done!

 

[smevchenko]

Josh Allen!!!

Safe for another year

Jets, this year? As a die-hard Gang Green member, I can tell you it's every year.

What a finish by the Bills though, Josh Allen with a great run

Had the quality and intensity of a playoff game. Glad the Chiefs lost. They might play again in January….

Winning td from Allen but was some really poor tackling from the Chiefs, he floated through their secondary untouched. Fair play to him for staying calm and alert to the opportunity of the space opening up

the first attempt at a tackle was poor but allen is a tank of a man its not surprising that if he was going full speed he could run over you

BTW going for it was the right thing to do. With the Chiefs you have to beat them havecto drive a stake through their collective hearts.

Even if Allen didn’t score a TD but only had gotten the first down. The game was practically over. If you kick the FG you only go up 5 points, IF you make it, a KC has two minutes and two time out to get the Game winning TD.

I would have kicked the FG & tried to keep KC out of the endzone. However, that's why I'm a Dolphins fan!

Fair play to Buffalo in taking it to KC. Needed to be done as you said.

Thought it was harsh on people criticising the Chiefs in poor tackling for the winning TD. The Chiefs defense had been immense all day long against the Bills run game which hardly gained anything. However, time of possession and fatigue evades no one & it was inevitable there would be a drop off, plus when you have a 6"5 bloke running straight at you its not an easy tackle as some people think.

If you tackle round the legs they are going nowhere. I’m surprised that they don’t tackle more like rugby especially before the runner has chance to gain momentum then it’s impossible to stop

Fuck the Steelers.
The Browns are in the throes of moving to a new stadium in few years, that’s in the suburbs and under a dome. I don’t know how you can watch that game and think a dome is a good idea. That was real football.

Was like the old ‘spot the ball’ competition at times.

That's why i'm glad Buffalo's new stadium will not have a roof. It will be covered more for some fans, but should still have the odd game in winter in the snow.

It's a pretty high threshold anyway in the NFL for postponing games, as you can tell from last night. Must have been pretty treacherous for fans going to and from the game, but they are much better prepared for weather like that.

Not soft cunts like the British authorities. You only have to mention the word snow and schools are shut trains cancelled and the country grinds to a halt
