NFL is like the WWE. It may not be scripted technically, but there is 100% an agenda to make games close. Almost makes these games unwatchable...
Yep. Play calls are great as long as you have the right players. It's just when you DON'T have the right players that coaches are supposed to make a difference.
It's possible, but it's more likely he just happened to play the first half above his level and the second half below his level.
Well, if you take away the TO from Darnold you have to "give" them at least 6 points. While they obviously didn't dominate, I would say that they did "just enough".
I just walked in the door from work. The old man calls me earlier and tells me the Jets are doing awesome. I can't hear him because it's noisy. "Awesome or awful?" "Awsome! 21-6!" Driving home, it's 21-9. I walk in the door, it's 21-16. I could feel chunks rising. Jets on the move, get a FG. Cowboys threatening, flagflagflagflagflagflagflagflagflag, more chunks. Flagflagflagflagflag, fighting it down. More flags, I run to the sink. OK, at least they need a two pt. conversion to go into OT. More flags, more chunks. Jets pull it off. I'll be watching it tonight. Whhhhhyyyyyy (in my best Nancy Kerrigan imitaion). They're talking to The Boot on the sideline right now. I noticed it before the first game of the season last year. Shoe Booty has a vampire tooth. Only one, but i"ll take it. Happy Halloween! Almost.
