Finger Prince posted:Something I've wondered about. We all know that maximizing offensive possession exhausts defenses (as evident on the two seahawks losses so far), but why is that, and why doesn't the offence get exhausted too? Is it a matter of team structure, where all your depth for substitutions is on offense? You've got a different RB for each down but the same corners or linebackers play every down? Just curious why the defense tires while the opposing offense doesn't. Part of it is that the offense sets the tempo, so if the offense can go fast, it will go fast. If it needs a breather, it can slow down. The defense has to react to that, which leads to another part of the equation; the defense has to be ready and react. The offense has a play that it runs, and the players know what to do. The defense doesn't, and thus may end up wasting energy reacting incorrectly to a play. I'm sure the smart football people here can expound further, those were just two reasons off the top of my head.

They got off one less play because prior to the 2 minute warning they could have run a play but they had an injured player who slowly ran off the field and couldn't be subbed in time to get the snap off.

My core contention is this: at the end of the day, regardless of how much time was actually left on the clock (Impossible to say), and regardless of whether Tate was down (He was), the game ended because the refs made a mistake. Had they properly called Tate down to begin with, the Lions would at least have had a chance (No matter how minor) to make a play and end the game on their terms. Instead, because the refs improperly called a touchdown, the Lions were robbed of that last chance and forced to watch helplessly as time expired. And don't get me wrong, the Lions had plenty of chances to win the game before that, either on Tate's catch itself, on the plays preceding it, and even earlier in the game when they failed to stop Freeman or score more than a single offensive touchdown. The Falcons won the game because they straight up scored more points, and played like the better team-but that doesn't change the fact that the ending was an utter travesty and a mockery of officiating.

The Falcons won the game because they straight up scored more points, and played like the better team-but that doesn't change the fact that the ending was an utter travesty and a mockery of officiating. It's kind of a lose-lose situation though, because in most cases people would want them to call the touchdown to initiate the automatic review. The alternative is calling him down short with the Lions having no challenges, and the game still ends (because there is literally no way they get that next snap off, unless you think Tate doesn't spend even a half-second thinking that he was in). There seems to be a general trend lately of refs, in extremely close and game-important situations, erring on the side of making the call that initiates an automatic review, and it's mostly been a positive thing. The fact is that he was down short, and any correct decision the refs made was going to result in the Lions losing the game. At least by calling it a score and reviewing it they had a chance to take a close look and make sure the call was correct before the game was over.

Oh someone ran the query for me, I didn't think about just checking PFR. Kareem Hunt is off to the second best start in NFL history from a yards from scrimmage standpoint. #1? Billy Sims. I did not expect it to be Billy Sims, and now I'm all worried because Billy didn't last very long. e: Oh that's apparently since 1950, so someone else might have more from before then.

Aside from hearing about him during OU games and thinking he must have been pretty good in college that's like the only thing I know about him. I was half thinking he flushed out of the NFL immediately, but I guess he was pretty good as a rookie before he tore his knee up.

Last year his team was good enough that mostly everything went right, and he's good at just sticking the course in games like that. I guess you could say everything wasn't going right tonight, but I feel like half of this result is the Cards being even more poorly coached. And probably having worse players available.

Cowboys beat Cardinals by more than seven points, so that is a Quality Win. Looking forward to frontloading a shitload of money to Demarcus Lawrence to lock him down before it's time to pay Dak and Zeke. I still don't know what the hell Garrett does as a coach other than punt it on the opposing team's 45 yard line, but Linehan and Marinelli are real good coordinators.

Are they going to be able to pay their rising stars? Also what are the chances that they cut Witten and his 12mil cap hit when it seems he is mostly a blocker at this point in his career?

The contrarian rear end in a top hat part of me really wants to start the backlash against the football world gushing over Tony Romo, but I can't. Guy really seems like he has his finger on the pulse of the modern NFL unlike anyone else in the booth.
