Root for Jacksonville to see what Chargers and Raiders do.

Posted by the wrong element (aka JFields) Jan 4 '22, 05:56

It is a mistake to have two teams play last when there is a scenario where a tie puts them both in playoffs. If the Jags win, the smart move for both teams is to agree to kneel down every play. That gets both in the playoffs and reduces risk of injury to all players.

- I imagine the NFL would send them both a strongly worded memo advising against it before the game. - the wrong element Jan 4, 06:07 4
  - But then what happens when they play the game and someone tears their ACL? Not great. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 4, 06:13 3
    - Let's be real, the Jacksonville win is less likely than these guys playing for a tie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 06:19 1
      - Even if they get 250 yards rushing and 250 yards passing? -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 06:56
    - Herm Edwards: "You play to win the game!" -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 06:15
