Golden Tate swears he just caught that hail mary. ATL 30, SEA 28 (F)

Would any of you have tried the 65 yard FG with Longwell there?

The games thus far this weekend have been ABSURD!!!!!!!

No way.

But, I don't know why Wilson threw such a short pass on the previous play. They were playing like a team with zero timeouts left, when they had two.... I would've taken a shot 15-20 yards downfield, immediately taken a time out and took a shot at a 45-50 yard field goal.

Granted, there were only six seconds left... I'm sure the were trying to avoid a pass over the middle and the receiver not having enough time to get down and take a timeout.

Two loads, front and back.

The headline I had going for that game changed at least 5 times. 4 in the last few minutes.

I'm still puzzled over that last onside kick.

made less than zero sense. Didn't need the ball and a long field all bet ends the game.

Well, the Broncos loss still stings today........... but a buddy put it in pretty good perspective for me. In 1996, John Elway's Broncos went 13-3, and earned home field advantage throughout the playoffs. That year, they lost a stunner at home in the playoffs to a Jacksonville team that they should have handled easily, much like the loss to the Ravens yesterday.

Those Broncos went on to win the Super Bowl the next 2 years. I hope this current Broncos team has that same hunger, because they certainly have the talent.

Belichick challenging a spot like that when the Patriots are scoring at will, up 18 at home in the 4th quarter? Classy.
