As far as the playoffs go, they need to win and WAS needs to lose. And IIRC, the WAS game is early and the Vikes is late so they'll know if they have a shot or not by kickoff, or shortly therafter. If both WAS and MIN lose and the Saints win, then the Saints go.
They said the Wash game got moved back during halftime I believe.
Not sure how Childress keeps his job after allowing Jackson to pass 41 times. AP, the best player on the team by a mile, touched the ball 11 times.
I love it. So originally, the WA game was early? That is an excellent move by the NFL.
Wash had 8 in the box all of the first half. The problem wasn't that the Vikes where throwing a lot, it is that T.Jackson just isnt a NFL ready QB yet.
The 'Skins jumped on them early and they had no choice.I'm not sure I liked that challenge at the beginning of the game on the one inch line. Leaving your offense backed up like that is just asking for trouble. I understand it's the difference between two and four points, but still...
I don't have the stats in front of me, but I am guessing that AP has better stats as the game goes on. I guess my point is that if you're going to lose, at least be able to say that your best player was featured in the game prominently. I didn't need AP tonight, so I am not angry about AP's stats. But it seems ridiculous to give AP so few touches in a critical game.
wtf? so you'd rather give them a TD, then have the vikings have the ball?
I dunno. It had a real adverse effect on the momentum. Plus, it gave them an extra offensive series.I'm not going to discuss this with you since you seem irrationally distraught. Good night and Merry Xmas.
i mean if i were to guess a %, a saftey would happen about 10% of the time in that situation. normally a team would run it three times and get to about the 3-5, and punt and the other team would get it close to midfield. it started the game out horrible, but the challenge was one thing childress did right tonight.
I don't know why Dallas would show up next week. Seems like they'll rest their starters - at least for the second half.
I don't think it's any worse for momentum having a safety than it is having a TD scored against you. I'd rather it be 2-0 than 7-0, wouldn't you? What is interesting to me is whether or not Childress hesitated to throw that flag on the Moss catch in the second half (that led to that bizarre overturned fumble due to the 12 men on the field challenge) given that he was hesitant to use his second and last challenge on that play in a game his team was trailing.
