If they got a 1st on 2nd you can force punt with 2 TO can't with 1.Erm, why the fuck would you hold your TO?
I am Officially concerned about going to each of Arrowhead or AlamedaI am officially unconcerned with AFC West teams in Foxboro
No, if they get the first on second, the clock keeps running. Two time outs not enough.If they got a 1st on 2nd you can force punt with 2 TO can't with 1.
2.85 yppaCarr eliminated as MVP candidate. Maybe for 2-3 years.
We have less reason to go to bed than the guy who has a super model camped out there?While we are awake worrying about the effect of this game on the Patriots playoff scenario, Tom Brady is asleep in his bed. What does that say about us?
Lowest for a Qb throwing 40+ passes since 03, when the bachelor NYG guy did it.2.85 yppa
Cool. Certainly didnt want him to go into contract negotiations with that on his resume.Carr eliminated as MVP candidate. Maybe for 2-3 years.
Brady inched back into the top 3, behind only Zeke Elliott and Russell Wilson.Carr eliminated as MVP candidate. Maybe for 2-3 years.
Is this ESPN's overreaction segment?Carr eliminated as MVP candidate. Maybe for 2-3 years.
Carr is a beast but even beasts have off nights, especially in the cold. I agree he will dice the Pats secondary up like a giant SlapChopper though the Pats are much stingier than KC on run defense so Carr likely wont have the luxury of a strong ground game.Cool. Certainly didnt want him to go into contract negotiations with that on his resume.
You guys are right, he's terrible. He's also going to rip your defense to shreds in a few weeks.
(and yes, the Raiders will still get outscored)
So apparently the pass hit the TV camera wire over the field. Great.How does Cooper miss that...
PFR's team game finder has "Turnover Margin" as one of the "Additional Criteria." Here's the list of -3 TO wins since 2000: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=game&year_min=2000&year_max=2016&game_type=E&game_num_min=0&game_num_max=99&week_num_min=0&week_num_max=99&temperature_gtlt=lt&game_result=W&team_conf_id=All+Conferences&team_div_id=All+Divisions&opp_conf_id=All+Conferences&opp_div_id=All+Divisions&team_off_scheme=Any+Scheme&team_def_align=Any+Alignment&opp_off_scheme=Any+Scheme&opp_def_align=Any+Alignment&c1stat=turnover_diff&c1comp=lt&c1val=-3&c2stat=choose&c2comp=gt&c3stat=choose&c3comp=gt&c4stat=choose&c4comp=gt&c5comp=choose&c5gtlt=lt&c6mult=1.0&c6comp=choose&order_by=pass_tdI seem to remember the Patriots somehow pulling out a -3 TO game sometime in the last few years. Maybe it was more than a few years ago, I dunno. Is there an easy place to look this up? PFR doesn't have turnovers, or TO margin, as filter criteria.
OK, digging a bit I see game 15 vs MIA in 2007 was -3, and the 2011 game vs DAL was -2 but kinda mayhem-y. That's just from searching on "INTs >= 2", so maybe I'm missing a fumble-icious game for us.
Then there's three fun games from a league-wide search:
2007 wk 5: Tony Romo throws 5 INTs, but stages furious 12-pt 4th quarter comeback to beat Buffalo 25-24
2012 wk 11: Matt Ryan throws 5 INTs, team also fumbles one and loses TO battle by 5, somehow rallies from down 13 to tie the game at halftime, and again in the 4th Q to win it
2013 wk 16: Carson Palmer beats the Legion of Boom despite a 4-INT day, in a see-saw game where Russell Wilson had bupkes too
Has this been verified? If true, I'd love to see a reply that shows itSo apparently the pass hit the TV camera wire over the field. Great.
I looked around for proof after reading that post and while a bunch of people tweeted about it, there's no video that shows anything definitive. It's possible, but it's definitely not something that clearly happened.Has this been verified? If true, I'd love to see a reply that shows it
The network would know as that camera would have wiggled a lot when it happened. But it is in the NFL's best interest, in terms of protecting their broadcast partners, of burying that video.I looked around for proof after reading that post and while a bunch of people tweeted about it, there's no video that shows anything definitive.

Looks like the video ends just as some dude is throwing a massive cheapshot on a guy below him talking to a cop. Like a milisecond before it connects the video stops.It also looks like the game might have been more competitive in the stands:
