I truly hate some of fanbase.  I love folks here but man the ones I run into on Facebook, Twitter, etc are so toxic and gatekeeping.  They pat themselves on the back for how great of a fan they are while calling everyone fairweather.  They live for likes.  I was just calling some a hole who tried to call me fairweather, bandwagon, and fake fan because I saying I wouldn’t buy the gear if the logo and band are awful.  These idiots rally around this “fanatic” idea where if you aren’t with your head up the team’s butt at all times regardless of what they do you are fraud.  

What a strange play.  It did seem like a fumble.

Anyone watching the national championship game?  Poor kid Williams from Alabama went off with a not so good looking non-contact knee injury.  3-3 low scoring game so far.

Expected score. Sec defenses are generally elite.  Bama down a lot of stars now on offense.  Gonna need some young WRs to step up. 

Artificial turf strikes again?

There’s a ncaa football thread in the tailgate

D- or F.  The point is you are likely retaking my class

But didn't that TO come with like 3 seconds left on the play clock?  It wasn't to stop the clock, I think it was to set their defense, which wasn't in alignment.  I'd have to go back to look, but I in the moment, I thought the vast majority of the play clock had already run off, then they called the TO, which effectively was meaningless in terms of the the game.  

The raiders lined up with 38 secs with 3 ish on the play clock.  If they run up the middle which they were set to do with the running back next to him in the shot gun they would not even get back to the line and they would let the clock run as it would be 60 yard FG.  As I said the LV took the fact that LA wasn’t using timeouts as they were good with a tie.  If you look after the game a Raider covers his mouth as he tells a Charger who visibly reacts like someone just broke bad news to him.  

Yeah I won’t lie that the pandemic definitely brought a not so nice side out of me.  It’s made me a better golfer but not a better person.  Losing traveling and social aspects like real dating (which in your 30s isn’t easy always anyway.) really took a toll.   To my credit it doesn’t come out publicly but the negative/angry thoughts were there.  Trying to change that now. 

Zimmer out

Bears just fired Nagby

Nah.  I think they were always going to run plays to get them in position to kick a FG.  
 

Also, I think they changed their seeding enough not to play the Chiefs in the opening round at Arrowhead, which also might have had something to do with it.

They ran two lame runs in a row that they let LA blow up in the middle near the 45.  They weren’t going for the win.  Then LA called that time out and LV ran it hard to get into FG position.  It was clear LV didn’t like that time out.  There was 38 secs left and Raiders were lined up for a straight up run with one back.  Neither team was calling time outs and there was no urgency.  It was clear when he called that time out LV’s coach told Carr to go for the kill. 
 

LV coach even said they figured the chargers were thinking the same as them as far as having them run on third down and let the clock bleed out.  Because LV wasn’t gonna kick a crazy long FG on 4th.  He acknowledged those discussions indeed happened on the LV sideline  to just tie.  Then the time out happened. 

I honestly think Raiders run it out until LA called that FG.  The Raiders coach had a weird reaction.  Also after the game two players were talking and the raider player covered his mouth talking to the charger who reacted like “are you serious?” while sighing.  100% I think raiders were gonna run it out on 3rd down. LA’s coach is dumb. 

Can’t they just kneel it now?  Lol

If the Chargers get the ball back, that is when we start thinking about just playing for the tie. 

No kneel down then punt then they kneel

Kneel the damn ball!!!!!

The two teams need to just let the clock run 

I love this game 

If Pitt goes out on a tie after all this I’m gonna die laughing.

I'm jus now seeing score of the Rams 49ers game, how the hell did LA choke that away? Ouch.

Rams went full spread before half time on 3rd and foot got sacked which then led to a FG to make it 17-3 which swung all the momentum as 9ers score back to back TDs.  LA got the lead back (Interception in the endzone leading to a TD) but 9ers tied it back up (Karma as Jimmy got whacked in the head on the interception in the endzone.) then won with FG and interception in OT

I don’t think your first scenario is correct.  If there is a safety, the game’s over right?  Team A has the ball.  Team B tackles them in the endzone.  Safety.  Team B is up by two.  Team A has had a possession.  Team A would then free kick to Team B.  But Team B is winning.  Wouldn’t the game be over?

Team A loses on safety as both team technically had the ball.  Team A turned it over resulting in a score.  Like a pick 6.  The question is about if A gets the ball and holds it the entire time without scoring a TD shouldn’t B get a chance?

But the other team had the chance to stop them and couldn't so wouldn't get a chance for a possession is how I take it. 

But the rule states both teams will possess the football unless the team scores a touchdown. Which if they get a field goal they didn’t.

Hey I was scanning the NFL rules for OT and couldn't find a clear answer, maybe it is just lost in all the text I am reading.

So what happens if in OT, the team that receives the ball takes the entire amount of time to go down the field and kick a FG.  If they make the FG with time expiring, doesn't it mean the other team never got a possession?  

I was just asking this question.  The rule was the other team gets a possession unless a TD is scored.   So if they didn’t get a possession wouldn’t that break the nfl rules?

For everyone watching the 49ers@Rams game, this is exactly why I don't even get mad or embarrassed when visiting team fans take over Fed Ex anymore. The Rams have a slim chance to win the division, going to the playoffs regardless, yet their stadium is filled with at least as much if not more 49ers fans.  At least WFT has the excuse of fielding a team no one wants to pay money for.  This is just a modern era issue as it has become too lucrative for people to sell off their tickets on the secondary market to desperate fans of the visiting teams.

LA sucks as a sports town.  Everyone takes over their houses. 

Wait a tie would put 9er in and rams the nfc west winner 

Rams hit Jimmy right in the head on the INT

I’m still not convinced by the Rams
