I miss when Dak used to be able to run

Billion dollar tribute to himself.

100% chance the Eagles go for it on 4th down here if they don't get it, unless they lose like a billion yards on the play.

I thought in real time that was simultaneous possession, but after review it looks like a pick to me. He just ripped it out when they hit the ground.

Eagles IMPLODING huh

Here comes the 41-40?

Dak runs out of bounds for no reason 2 yards before a defender gets to him at 2:01 and then gets sacked on first and goal, completely wasting any ability to kill the clock. Can't make this up!

Eagles are gonna win unless Dallas gets this. I'd actually seriously consider going for it if it ends up like, 4th and goal at the 2. They kick it instead.

Yep. This is going 41-40 final.

The Cowboys pass rush just mauled the Eagles to put that game away.

I know basically everyone went super chalk this week, but at least this has been a start I actually feel good about for the first time since week 11.

I'm betting we have a truckload of people at 8-3 with me.

Carr is constantly sailing the ball well over the head of his receivers.

This has felt like a 13-10 Steelers win for a very long time mainly because this looks like the exact same Raiders team that likes to lead all game, then just die at the end of it.

Surprise me, Raiders.

doesn't look like they're gonna surprise you

I called this ending 13-10 halfway through the third.

Tomlin finishing 9-8 is inevitable

COTY tbqh

lol raiders

He had him wide open too

Obvious pick was obvious.

Two gross overthrows by Carr there.

Please don't bring this guy in, Jets. He's a jobber. He is baked.

Devante Adams was a nonfactor all game because Carr could never make an accurate throw to him.

I'm not sure why the announcers are gushing over an irrelevant personal foul on the Steelers.

Derek Carr is bad. He is the reason the Raiders lost this game.

I feel like the Raiders found a genie and wished to get big leads in all of their games, and the genie was one of those Jackass Genies, who granted their wish. The Vikings, on the other hand, were smarter with their wish and wished that no lead would ever be insurmountable against them. They wanted a refund after the Cowboys game, so we got the Colts game.

I defended Derek Carr for years.

After watching a full game of him singlehandedly costing his team the game, and really absorbing just how bad he is now, I'm done. Whoever picks this guy up isn't winning anything with him.

Time for some Christmas football

Unbelievably stupid play by Rodgers.

That's what makes the Dolphins a potentially dangerous opponent in the playoffs

Surprise onside kick huh

Don't know why teams feel the need to go for deep shots on 4th and short plays

Just get the 1st down

Through a quarter and a couple minutes, my takeaways are that the Dolphins suck and Rodgers still sucks in Florida.

Fake punt from inside your own 20, huh

Honestly, giving the ball to the Dolphins in your own territory is probably a good decision with how bad this defense is. Maybe you can get them to commit more penalties and hold them to 3.

Packers' positives: they're somehow only down 7 at the half.

Negatives: Everything else.

The Dolphins would probably have scored 35-42 points by this point if not for them dropping an interception, fumbling the ball away, and committing stupid penalties.

the rare Rodgers QB sneak

Vintage Rodgers throw

With what I've watched of this game, this game feels like it should not be tied.

But chaos sides with the Packers.

It also virtually guarantees the Jets are still alive if the Packers win!

Hoping for a Packers Christmas miracle. Still not believing it yet, but this game has certainly progressed that way. The Packers have no business being in the game at this point, let alone possessing the ball on Miami's side of the field with the game tied to start the 4th quarter.

man theyre just letting miami's DBs do whatever they want

Sometimes committing blatant DPI to get a pick works out.

Should be Packers ball at the 1.

Refs continue to not call obvious dpi on the Dolphins. :( Hoping the ball is inside the Miami one yard line. Couldn't tell where he caught it.

Justice?!

Refs giving both teams gifts, Tua in the spirit of giving, Green Bay trying to give the ball away. What a Christmas game.

All those passes to wide open receivers down the middle and then Tua does that.

If I was right on anything, it was about how fraudulent the Dophins were!

In this situation, that's not a bad encroachment penalty at all.

This is Eagles/Cowboys all over again

Hate the decision not to go for it on fourth. Go win the game. Your defense is bad. Tua has to gift you a 3rd time to win now in all likelihood.

Feels like a Miami 1 point win now

LaFleur playing to win ATS instead of risking losing both that and straight up.

It felt like that pick because that's what Tua is and has been all day.

1 more Pats loss (which almost certainly happens), and the Jets live!

Or Tua could throw the easiest INT of all time

Packers/Lions Week 18 showdown here we come

Thank you, Tua.

God bless you, Tua Tagovailoa. Merry Christmas to you and your family, you wonderful man.

All those weeks of shading the Dolphins finally paying off

Also I still have Washington in the 7 spot. All they have to do is win.

We might be heading exactly where I predicted like 5 weeks ago: Jets/Dolphins the final SNF of the season for the 7 seed.

Though if the Pats beat the Dolphins, they could technically ruin that by winning at Buffalo. Pats are guaranteed in if they win out.

I called the Jets/Seahawks spread being Seattle -1.5, and that's exactly what it is. Wonder if it swings if White is playing?

Washington losing one of their last two isn't out of the realm of possibility

Main thing that helps the Commies is that Dallas has nothing left to play for unless Philly loses next week

As a sidebar.. I'm not sure there's anything that could actually get me to watch the second game today.

I've seen these pieces of garbage in special games enough for one season.

I've called Washington making the playoffs at 9 wins since before they even tied the Giants, primarily because I don't believe Dallas will have anything to play for in that game, and thus won't play anyway. The Eagles shouldn't have any issue swatting the Saints away. I still have them making it at 9 wins... And a tie.

I'd be more worried about the Browns if I'm Washington, but given that game I just saw, Washington should be able to take them.

...Yep, see you next Sunday.. MAYBE Monday if the Chargers lay an egg.

Because lord knows that Thursday game is a dud.
