4th and 11 from mid-field sucks, but you can't kick it away with less than two minutes left and only two timeouts. Feels like they just conceded the game.

Looks like they will get the ball back anyway, but make a stop either way and you get the ball back. I take the shot on 4th there.

Twas super wrong. Keenum did well to get them in it at the end.

Keenum is a gunslinger, man. Very Favre-esque out there.

I just can't make any sense of what is a catch any more - having to control it all the way to the ground even 5 feet out and after you've controlled it for a couple seconds is nonsensical. Houston got very hard done by there.
And yah, punting it away in that situation and wasting the two minute warning as well was Wade Phillips all over. If you were going to punt, at least do a better job with the clock so you get the two minute warning and the two timeouts. Just awful clock management. |

Wade Phillips cemented the opinion that he should never again be an NFL head coach. It was a tough position for him to be thrown into tonight, but blowing a 21-3 halftime lead probably didn't get him put on any short lists.

It's amazing how many favorites struggled in the first half this week, only to turn it on and pull out the game in the second half.
KC down 10-3 at half, win 23-13 Dallas down 10-6 at half, win 27-23 Seattle down 21-7 at half, win 27-24 Indy down 21-3 at half, win 27-24 |

Insane stat from r/nfl on reddit:
For the fourth time this year, Tampa Bay has lost despite having a 95% probability of winning at some point in the game Based on Advanced NFL Stats' probability charts. Week 1 @ NYJ - 98% after NYJ spikes the ball at their own 45, TB up 17-15, 0:15 left in the fourth quarter Week 2 NO - 99% after gaining a first down to NO 36, up 14-13, 2:36 left in the fourth quarter Week 4 ARI - 95% after Arizona punts, TB up 10-3, 4:12 left in the fourth quarter. Week 9 @ SEA - 96% after going up 21-0, 2:23 left in the first half. Sorry, Tampa fans. :/ |

Karl Dorrell was calling plays for Houston in the second half.
Now you know why Karl Dorrell is no longer at UCLA. (Although he appears to be a heck of a nice guy, otherwise...)

This is just flat-out awesome. 9-0 heading into the bye week with plenty of room to improve. Really, KC's season is all but set at this point. Even if they were to post a 4-3 record down the stretch, they'd be 13-3 and likely playing the worst division winner in the 4-5 game. If things go better and they can split with Denver, they've got a very good shot at winning the division.
The game at Denver is a total opportunity game. Win, and the division and first seed are looking great. Lose, and you still have the game at home to make things right. Not only that, but the coaching staff has two weeks to plan for it. |

Right now the Bengals look likely to be the four seed. I'd MUCH rather they play the Chiefs than the Broncos.

They don't figure out how to get more than nine offensive points against an average defense, they'll be going home from the playoffs in the first-round. Brady or Manning or Dalton may toss you a pick six, but they're also going to score more than seventeen points.

I'm a Dolphins fan. If the locker room is this out-of-control, they need to fire both Philbin and Ireland. Incognito should've been released the moment the Dolphins heard those voice messages.

Also saw the Deadspin report today that Incognito's father (or someone carefully impersonating him) is on a Dolphins message board trying to assassinate Martin's character. This shit just gets weirder and weirder.

I'm not sure what's going on, as the Dolphins say there has been nothing reported, but another article I read said the NFL/Dolphins were aware of some of this behavior during the spring.
Hazing is one thing, but forcing rookies to pay for $30,000 dinners and vacations is stupid and probably a reason most of these vets are broke.

It's been a nice story, but the combined record of their opponents is 27-49 and they've actually faced a *worse* version of those opponents as they've gone against backup QBs in most of their games. I need to see them beat a team with a pulse and this Denver game will be their chance. |

BTW, small sidebar, if Washington beats Minnesota on Thursday night, they will be one game back of the division going into the weekend. That's crazy to me.

On KC, the beauty of this debate is we'll have a pretty good idea soon if they are paper tigers or the real deal. Unlike, say, the debate between Alabama/FSU/Oregon/Ohio State/Baylor.

The Denver team has been a 'nice story', but it's nothing to brag about. Their only win against a .500 team is a 3 point win against Dallas at home. The combined record of their opponents is 26-40. KC has outscored their opponents by 104 while Denver has outscored their opponents by 125, but Denver has a loss and KC does not. The only point I'd agree on is that I'd like to see Denver beat a team with a pulse and this KC game will be their chance. |

Eh, I think the legalities of collective bargaining/contracts/etc give the team adequate cover with regard to an immediate cut. Suspending him satisfies that portion of their responsibility for the time being IMO. Now as to whether they enabled his alleged behavior, well, cutting him today (or yesterday for that matter) doesn't cover that. edit to add: Noting here, just ftr, that I responded prior to seeing the latest accusations about the voice mails & texts and such. If there's physical evidence in hand, that could change the team's ability to react/respond.

Interesting how quickly things have flipped between him and Thompkins (healthy scratch this week, 14 snaps week before). That's always been where he should have been - as the outside receiver and big-play threat along the sideline where his inconsistency doesn't make or break the game. Being the primary receiver on a 4th and 4 or running slants over the middle is not really his skillset, so it really helps him to have Amendola and Gronk back drawing attention in the middle. Thompkins is more of an inside guy, so I haven't given up on him, but I don't expect to see much of him (more than 20-30 snaps in a game) the rest of this year unless Amendola/Edelman gets hurt.

We have went through this before, and To me, the thing that separates Denver from KC is when the games are over. KC opponents have been within striking distance in the final three minutes in all but two of their games. Denver opponents have been finished with over 8 minutes left in the game all but twice. While KC has had little injury trouble, Denver has had their top two defensive players out for most of the year. In the Dallas game, they played without 5 of their starting 11 defensive players in the second half. In the Colts game they played without their starting two offensive tackles. (And no, I'm not counting a Clady as one if them). Luck WILL run out on the Chiefs. They were utterly dominated by the Bills this week, something that hasn't happened to Denver all year. Two defensive tds are nice, but that was against a bad football team. Let's see the Chiefs not only play someone, but let's see them have their first major injury and well talk about things. As it stands, I see them losing both games to Denver and San Diego. If they beat the Donkies or Chargers, I will give them their due. |

This is pretty much how I feel. I love the Chiefs defense, but you can only ask it to do so much. The good teams are putting up mad points. In the Broncos only loss, they put up 33 points. Have the Chiefs put up 33 points in a game yet this year?

Looks like a shoulder injury. He threw a couple passes on the sidelines after it happened then they took him to the locker room.
