Giants defense looks almost as good as the Lions this year. Who the fuck hired their coordinator? I never seen so many missed assignments and penality yards in years.

Two 10-0 teams now. I want to see two undefeated teams in the Super Bowl. It won't happen but it is nice to dream.

Lions=most pathetic team. Just fire everyone, players, staff etc and start from scratch, because wow, seriously bad.

And fumbled the ball to the other team. Dumbass for not just holding onto it and giving his offense a chance.

You seriously think their team could have moved the ball with no timeoutes close enough to get their FG kicking unit on the field and get one up?

I doubt it with 17 seconds left.

Edit:

He was down at the Ravens 40, so that would be two plays for 35 yards and a FG attempt. I doubt they would have made it.

Better odds then trying to lateral it and killing the clock.

NFL needs to change the Overtime rules this offseason to follow the College rules. It's a bit unfair when the coin toss winning team wins the game 86% of the time this season.

I believe the percentage is more like 56%.

College OT statistics don't count whereas NFL statistics do.

Starting on the 25 yard line would be a joke in the pros.

WOW!

That was an awesome ending to the Lions/Browns game.

Stafford is first rookie to get 5 TDs in a game, he got his first game winning drive, and he was hurt on the play before last!

During the Giants / Falcons game, FOX put up a stat that said the coin toss winning team this year has won 5 of 6 games. Giants beat the Falcons so it was 6 of 7 at that point.

It's not about being a joke or statistics, it's about fairness. If a game is tied, both teams should be afforded one position each and not let a coin toss be such a huge factor. Kind of like the 2 point play, NFL took forever before they adopted it.

Didn't realize you were taking about just this season. The more reliable stat is since the inception of sudden death OT which is 56%.
