NFL noob here: why was electing to kick a mistake? I don't understand what went on there. Or is it just a case that the captain sent against what his team wanted?

 

[dralla]

LOL apparently the ref heard him wrong and wouldn't let him correct it :jnc

No, he definitely said kick off. He tried to pick a side to kick off from lolololol

 

[BlackGhost]

This were legends begin!

 

[MechDX]

Fucking Dolphins.


Dammit Trejo you had one job!

Palmer about to win the MVP this afternoon

 

[Flakster99]

Jesus Christ. Never thought I would see the day when a team wins the coin flip in OT and elects to kick off.

 

[RdN]

What the fuck.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Slater said We want to kick....replay says it too...haha.

 

[coolasj19]

Throw BJ in for a 2 minute drill. See what he got.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Tannehill sucks lol

Can't believe Tannehill didn't block the pass rushers smh

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Why

 

[ramoisdead]

Replaying the stupid coin toss decision. It had to be done.

If the Jets score a TD they win.

 

[Mollymauk]

No confidence in Brady.

 

[Himynameischris]

Obviously the oline is in on the tank

Jets refs

 

[Ricker]

Colts still alive,damn...

 

[Bread]

Electing to kick in overtime isn't automatically the worst idea (worked against the Broncos a couple years ago) but I think Slater thought he would be able to choose the side.

 

[GalacticToast]

Jesus Christ. Never thought I would see the day when a team wins the coin flip in OT and elects to kick off.

We did it against the Broncos in 2013.

 

[Sanjuro]

Jets are corrupt as fuck.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Hahahahahahaha

Most Dolphins loss ever!

 

[Kave_Man]

FUUUUCCCKKKKKK!!!

Of course it ends like that, ugh.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Ouch, Cleveland

 

[perfectchaos007]

The Jags are pretty good. I could see the Texans losing to the Jags and of course the Colts will crush the Titans next week. Texans could still miss the playoffs

 

[140.85]

What the hell is happening Patriots, lol

 

[blackaroni]

Why Miami? Why?

 

[squicken]

fuck that ref is so slow

It's a good move depending on the situation.

Don't you only get to pick the side if you defer?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

No takebacks Slater, this shit ain't peewee football. Get the fuck outta here!

 

[BlackGhost]

Kewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwewwewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeewwwl.

 

[Hunter S.]

[Bsigg12]

That Manziel helmet slam was perfect.

 

[Yen]

If the Jets score a TD they win.

Oh ok

 

[Gigglepoo]

At least the Browns have been competitive the last few weeks.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

A TD wins it, so the team receiving the ball has an opportunity to kill it. If they score a FG, the other team win with a TD, or pull level with a FG. If first team to possess don't score, a FG wins it.

 

[Goro Majima]

Palmer about to win the MVP this afternoon

No doubt he will

Right now Cam would be the worst MVP in recent memory

 

[Instro]

Jesus Chiefs escaped there.

 

[Hindl]

What a crazy day of football

 

[Kurt Angle]

so are pats gonna blame this on special teams?

or "special" teams

 

[Sweeney Tom]

If you missed the end to the Dolphins game: it was 4th and goal, and when the ball was snapped half the O-line didn't move. Surprisingly this resulted in Tannehill being immediately sacked by everyone

 

[skLaFarebear]

Dolphins. No. What the fuck did you do?
No. NOOOOOO!!!!

Dolphins ain't even tryna be subtle with the tank though lmao

 

[MRSA]

Lol Cleve!

Sorry BG!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Chiefs might take the division. Fuck. Broncos better take care of business.

Yeah, the Vikings did it earlier in the season when Bridgewater was hurt and it worked out in those circumstances. When you have Gronk and Brady though, it's not wise though, lol.
