Scoreboard watching (aka, who to root for this week)

There have been multiple punts on 4th and short in this game. A Campbell-led team converts at least one of those into points.

I don't understand accepting the penalty to only punt it again. 

[MichiganCardinal]

The tiers in the NFL have never been more clear watching this game. For being 6-6, this Falcons team looks bad compared to the Lions and Packers.

[MichiganCardinal]

I think that ball is out.

But naturally, I'm wrong.

That's a potentially game changing penalty for them to not even announce an offending player.

[Motown Bombers]

I don't understand why the Falcons don't put Cousins under center more. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Four-point swing from the phantom defensive holding call on a field goal.

And if they called it on 93 as just announced, what an awful call.

I still don't know what penalty they called on the FG.

An interior defensive lineman (#93) slipped on his initial charge, the interior offensive lineman fell on top of him, and they called a defensive hold on #93. While if #93 did grab and pull the lineman down so that someone behind him could rush the gap he created, it would be a good call, that's not at all what happened.

A truly dreadful call that can have game altering consequences.

According to Packer fans, it should have been a turnover on downs since the holder's knee was down.

I hate the coaching by Atlanta. Give it to Algiers up the middle on three straight handoffs.

And then wimp out with a chip shot. So, so bad.

[MichiganCardinal]

Kind of crazy that this is a projected wildcard matchup right now.

[MichiganCardinal]

KOC is wasting a timeout/challenge on a textbook simultaneous possession.

Why do they have Cousins in the pistol? Did they not watch any of his film from Minnesota and Washington before they signed him?

[MichiganCardinal]

On 3rd & 14 from inside the 25, Raheem Morris and Zac Robinson opt for a draw play to get a shorter field goal for Koo.

[MichiganCardinal]

Meanwhile, Carolina has taken a two-point lead over Philly with about 17 minutes left in the game.

[lordstanley]

Panthers lead. If nothing else, makes the Eagles seem a bit less scary. 16-14 after missed PAT. 
 

Falcons so spooked by Cousins’ near pick-six they waste 3rd down with a basic run up the middle

Play it ‘safe’

[lordstanley]

What a swing. Looks like Darnold is about to be sacked on 3rd down, instead he eludes and hits a wide open Jefferson for a 50+ yd TD. 

[Motown Bombers]

I hate this Vikings team. Kwesi is a terrible drafter, and yet they keep winning and win all these one-score games.

[Motown Bombers]

LOL they get the veteran to jump. I hate both of these teams. 

[Motown Bombers]

This game is making me angry. 

[lordstanley]

Bad news: Vikings are going to win today 

Good news: I think this could be the Vikings’ last win of the season. Could see them losing any or all against Bears, Seahawks, Vikings, Lions. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Panthers are going to get the ball down 6 with 3 minutes and no timeouts. Does Bryce have it in him?

[lordstanley]

Can Bryce Young lead a 3-minute, 98 yard TD game-winning drive overhead Eagles?
