In today's world, having an NFL game end in a tie is just bizarro... really can't believe thats even an option... how...why....just stupid
I disagree. Neither team deserved a win. When playoff time comes, what they did there shouldn’t be equivalent to another team actually winning. If you’re going to insist on a winner, at some point you might as well just flip a coin.

I get that it’s unsatisfying, but so is giving a team a win they didn’t earn.
 
Not a fan of either team last night but THAT was quite an exciting game. I would have bet money the Niners were going to be absolutely blown out by the Rams without Purdy. Also, I'm still shaking my head at the no field goal decision at the end. I guess sometimes you take chances and sometimes you get burned. Ouch.

Yep, and he feels bad about it:
Rams coach Sean McVay 'sick' after regrettable call in overtime loss to 49ers: 'Bad call by me'

It amazes me to no end that when the opposing defense stacks the line like that, the offense doesn't audible a pass play to a releasing tight end or receiver.
 
Yeah. And the second one to have played for OU at least part of their college career. Hopefully Gabriel can get out before he gets beat to death and have success like Mayfield has.
They seem to be keeping Sanders in one piece so far. How long before Gabriel is pounded into goo and Sanders gets the call?

That seems like the whole game in a nutshell for the Rams. They failed to make adjustments, and got the results you’d expect. The Rams defense made Jake Tonges look like George Kittle.

Just watched the Colts player run into Cole, the Raiders’ punter with no flag. Three or so plays later Raiders’ player runs into the Colt’s kicker. Flag.

Raiders punter leaves on a cart. No flag. I’m done. There’s sunshine outside. This is either unfair or incompetent and I’m not bothering with either.

It'll also depend on the various betting lines and wagers as to how the game is called. The game changed as soon as the NFL got in bed with gambling.

It’s Raiders/Colts for cryin’ out loud. The Raiders already have/had no chance against one of the better teams so far this season, but really NFL?

Edit: clarify that I’m upset at the nfl not anyone here.

Just like the Bengals without Burrow. The price a team pays for allocating a high salary cap percentage into one star player.
The interesting thing there is, the second-highest salary on the Ravens is about $16M, while the Bengals have three guys in the $20M-$25M range (both QBs make more than $40M). Looking down the salary list of both, it looks like the Ravens should have more room to fill out the roster. However, they have a much bigger "dead cap' hit, so they appear to have made more signing mistakes than Cincy.
