This Darnold oblique injury is interesting. If Drew Lock has to go that changes everything.

Dr. Ryan Clark at ESPN claims "it sounds like the setup for an excuse." How many different ways can Clark reveal himself to be a first class jerk?

The line dropped just a half a point on this news. Sounds like the betting market expects him to play at a reasonably high level.

Whew, Josh taking too many chances today. We've got happy feet and rushed Bo going for us, so this ought to be interesting down the stretch

What a dumbass Bosa

Not a good day for Josh

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Not a great start

The boy genius with a brutal play call.

Wow crazy game. Denver won in a come from behind rock fight, how they've got almost all their wins. Buffalo played our weaknesses almost exactly like I expected. No surprises for me except how well Buffalo ran the ball (shout to Cusefan0307 to predict that). Our offense looked like it has the last few games. The D did too until we got some to's.

I hit on my secret weapon of the game, Mims, too bad I didn't get any $ from it. This might've been as emotionless a playoff game as I've ever watched my team play. I didn't expect to win really, and thought we were ahead of schedule with wins compared to how our O has looked. Great game

Congrats!

I will say about that interception call. If Cooks is all alone with no one around him, and his knee hits and the ball pops out, then that's not a completed catch.

Didn’t think it was a bad call and I was pulling for the bills. The fail mary warped everyone’s opinion of that call.

Well that was that, Bo broke his ankle

That sucks. Another Auburn guy to the rescue.

What a dumbass Bosa

He did something similar for us (Chargers) when we lost to Jacksonville after leading 27-0. One was taking his helmet off and slamming it. He's a loser that usually gets an injury at just the wrong time when he isn't getting a penalty at the wrong time.

Phil Rivers would play anyway!

The Niners are obviously undermanned tonight but MacDonald is one coach that Shanahan won't be outcoaching very often.

The pictures show he was cradling the ball and down. The ball didn't pop up because of the ground.

 

[upperdeck]

The key to the Cooks thing is that he has already taken 2 steps and a knee and then his back to the ground then the ball is pulled out. Once he completes a football move the rest doesn't matter.

I don’t have a team in the playoffs, so I’ve got no axe to grind. But watching these games, and the way they’re being officiated, makes it feel more like sports entertainment than an actual sports competition. The rules are applied so unevenly that it feels like they’re being made up on the fly.

This is a multi-billion-dollar industry relying on part-time referees who seem lost half the time and are constantly looking over their shoulders at the league office on every call. The league cannot even get instant replay right.

The NFL and Roger are basically the WWE and Vince at this point.

You have to survive the ground, that didn't happen

you have to survive the ground if you have not done any of the other things which includes 3rd step/knee, roll over, change hands with the ball.

You have to survive the ground cmon. My example above is the most plain way to explain it. You're telling me, that if he was all alone no one around and he seemingly catches it with 2 steps hits his knee and back and the ball pops out that's a completion? It never is. To continue that, the ball also during that sequence never hits the ground and is in the possession of the defender on the conclusion of the play

false

Kinda moot anyway since they didn't call an obvious PI in the end zone near the end of regulation.
