Making the playoffs would be the worst thing for the Bears franchise.

I can’t emphasize this enough. I’m f-ing livid at all the morons who are excited about the Bears having an outside chance at the playoffs. It would be beyond a disaster in terms of both buying Nagy multiple years and a likely long term $$$$ deal for Mitch.

First time watching Miami this year.

Tuna is really bad. I had a stronger arm in junior high.

He’s looked good at times. The Dolphins are just in a weird situation at the position. They know Tua is the future and he has moments, but they are also in the thick of a playoff race and can’t let him learn and fail on the job. Fitz is a far better QB and team manager now

Speak of the devil, wow

I honestly have no idea how Fitzpatrick made that throw with his head literally turned 90 degrees.

I told my wife at the time - I’d rather have an  8 point lead with 50 seconds that a 2 point lead with 23 seconds left.

Smart for Jacobs to go down on 1st and 2nd down, but go for the points on 3rd down.

Two other baffling Raiders decisions:

On 3rd and goal, knowing you are going to kick it, why not have Carr take a couple yards back and kneel to kill 2 more seconds? If you re-watch, Carr kneels instantly, burning no additional time off.

On the last kickoff, make the Dolphins return it. A kickoff to the 10 will either be fair caught or returned and burn 7ish seconds. The reward is greater than the risk in that situation.

Wasn't the only game that they won against the Jets when Greg Williams was worse than Chuckie?

I’m an absolute sucker for basketball and football manipulation of the clock with the rulebook. I think it’s incredibly smart to do things outside the box.

I can’t take credit for these ideas, but I love them both.

On third and goal, the Raiders could have told everyone on the line of scrimmage to tackle/hold their defender, and had Carr sprint back to the 7 yard line. As soon as a defender gets near Carr, he simply takes a knee. The Dolphins would of course decline the penalty, so the game clock would restart and run.

When the Fins got the ball with 19 seconds left, every Raider defender in coverage commits illegal contact or holding (blatantly tackling the receiver). The risk here is someone gets up, completes a reception and gets out of bounds before getting to Fitz. Most likely Fitz scrambles and runs out of bounds, but the clock burns here. Downside is the five yard penalty gives Miami at least one more play. However, the ball at this point is at the Miami 30, now with most likely the clock under ten seconds.

I think the easiest way to do it would’ve just been to score the touchdown, go for 2 and make them score a touchdown (regardless of the 2 point attempt) in 50 seconds with no timeouts.

The Kmet end around when a QB sneak would do on the half yard line is why Nagy should be fired

Impressive display of football to end the half in the Bears/Jags game.

This is why Nagy is a complete and utter a**hole. Dude thinks he is the smartest guy not only in the room, but the entire league. And it’s not “you take the good with the bad”, cause 95% of his gadget run plays are complete and utter trash.

Holy hell Trubi is terrible.

Cant wait to watch that highlight again in my mind in 3 months after the Bears extend him.

Other highlights from that miserable last 2 min...Smith making a great pick, running it back, and seemingly looking to, at best, switch hands to continue to be a return hero, at worst, looking to f-ing lateral it.  Either way, he fumbles and is SUPER lucky to get it back.

Then, Bears actually smartly take the quick slant to the wide open middle of the field with the Jags in prevent...but then Kmet IMMEDIATELY sits down despite tons of field and tons of time. Id much rather have a 35 yarder than a 40.  It’s not the worst thing ever, but it just feels like further lack of coaching and game awareness and field sense that the Bears are plagued with

I don't think I've ever seen a team go from "Dolphins watch" to "I hope we play them in the playoffs" as fast as the Steelers....

Kind of funny that among the teams that benefit from a loss, the team that DGAF the most today...is the Chiefs. Reid is treating it like practice. Mahomes is disinterested and lazy with his throws.  They’ll still win cause the Falcons and Matt Ryan suck. But my god they are uninspired.

Get that big ole contract ready, Pace. You were right all along - Mitch was a steal at #2.

Nice of the Panthers to shake up the QB situation even further in Washington by not even attempting to try while Heinicke was in there late.

It can be quite difficult to distinguish between when the Panthers are trying and when they aren’t.
