    Since they'll need a travel partner, may I suggest the 49ers? This is beyond awful.

    Punting here is stupid, but I say again, Brown should be out of this game. It makes no sense at all to risk him like this.

    M_G, they are dysfunctional, but they are also missing far too many key players, and that was before losing Coates early and having Brown hobbled. That defense badly misses Cameron Heyward, who is their best pass rusher and a key run defender. Hubbard is their third-string right tackle and he struggles in pass protection. It was his hold that wiped out a tying touchdown pass.

    Jones wasn't awful, but he certainly wasn't Roethlisberger. Take the play before the ill-advised 54-yard field goal. That is a throw Roethlisberger routinely makes, but Jones does not do well when he has to improvise.

    Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the Falcons go for it on fourth-and-2 near midfield early in overtime and get stuffed. Chargers take over, kick a field goal, and finish off a comeback from 17 down to win 33-30.
    Other than a 38-14 win at Jacksonville in Week 2, their games have been decided by 6, 4, 1, 3, 8 and 3 points.

    If you're not playing in snow, mud or driving hailstorm, a 3-0 game with less than 5 minutes to go is simply pathetic.

    This is either ending 6-3 in regulation or going 3-3 to OT

    Why on earth is Arizona not kicking this?

    Well, I guess that answers that.

    Is this going to end with a 6-6 tie?

    Why the hell didn't Arizona put the ball in the middle of the field for the kick?

    Can't believe the number of games Seattle has won over the last five years off such ridiculously fluke junk.

    They didn't put in the middle of the field because you should be able to assume a 20 yard FG for an NFL kicker.

    But they should have run another play on 3rd down.

    Too much can go wrong with field goals.
