Can Carolina’s SOS go above ours and we move up if they beat the falcons?

Nope, looks like they are still ahead of us.

 

[Low Energy]

Nice knowing Failcons would have missed playoffs no matter outcome of our game.

 

[Madmarsha]

Bryce Young been cooking them all day.

This may not bode well for us next year or when Penix is in his second year, but that's not like it's our only problems either.

 

[Elvis]

Carolina wins but their SOS went down so we stay at 9. Need the Raiders to win to get to 8

I wonder how much it takes to move. Jets are playing Miami and aren't that far behind us.

I think rattler had some nice moments today though

He needs an actual offensive HC

He absolutely can improve. Better decision making with experience. Better accuracy with improved mechanics. Better execution with a healthy Oline and WRs. But he is far from the chosen one at this point.

 

[slikk]

Right because the Saints didn't tip a ball at the line that turned into a pick earlier in the game.

Well feel how ever you like about it call it dumb but if they really want to stop him from the record don't give the ball back

 

[VPCajun]

Sure, but Bowles just put the playoffs on the line to get Evans a record. If that pass gets tipped at the line and picked or just picked and returned for a TD with a 2 point conversion, they could have missed the playoffs. No point in calling that play if there is any risk of losing.

Well... he was playing against the SAINTS D. So, there's that.

I heard no

 

[Cella]

I was thinking maybe that’s why he lost playing time earlier in the season

dont know if its true, but i heard that
he was told to, or wanted to gain weight in offseason. for whatever reasons.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

I don't think KC wants to win their game - they prefer to let Denver win and ensure that Cincy doesn't make the playoffs.

I wonder how many starters KC is sitting out.

He needs to work on some of his throws a few were still behind the receiver or high

Talk about the tip drill.

Two tips and a TD catch,.

Mike Evans…couldn’t have happened to a bigger jerk.

 

[Clintonrebel]

The whole stadium could see they were going to run that play and the Saints allowed it to happen. Someone should have keyed in on Evans and lit him up for prioritising meaningless stat padding.

Millions of people nation-wide saw it coming. Only eleven guys in the world didn’t see it coming.
