NFL Weekly Prediction Contest: Week 16

Saturday
Bengals 20 Steelers 16
Bills 28 Chargers 17

You're due to hit paydirt!

 

[OldSchool101]

I wonder if the Bills will do what we did and try to score fast and lose this game?
Getting a 1st down inside the 25 yardline of Chargers would be better than a TD with 2:30 left.

Got the 1st. Let’s see if Bills stop the clock 2X like we did and give the game away

They almost blew it for us.

They almost blew it for us.

Notice the Bills were in an identical field position and clock scenario to GB Vs Tampa Giants
3rd n 4 at LA28 2:34 on clock
Short pass to Hawking stays IN BOUNDS! forced a Chargers Timeout at 2:29 abs 1st down (packers ran out of bounds and stopped clock)

Bills RUN Fournette
Clock stops 1:59 2-minute warning

Bill RUN Cook Right Guard -3
Clock runs to 1:19

Bills RUN Allen up the middle
Click runs to :31 Bills call timeout with :01 on play clock

Bills Kick FG
with :28 sec on play clock

LA Chargers receive
1st n 10 at LA30
Sacked for -9

2nd n 19 at LA21
:07 seconds on game clock
Incomplete

3rd n 19 5 yard pass lateral lateral lateral
Game over.

Why only 3 plays left? Ok the sack helped a little. However the Chargers had only 3 plays because of the Run, Run, Run on the previous series by the Bills coaching staff. It’s EXACTLY what GB should’ve done.
GB passes it 2X for incompletion and run out of bounds. 2 consecutive 100% critical gameclock stops that very likely cost us Giants game. Our coaches/Love gifted Giants a free Timeout + :40 sec. Literally by not making it clear to run the ball or pass and stay in bounds. Not to mention our D not even attempting to protect the sideline “the obvious out route” Rudimentary level play calling failures on both O+D

Just how they drew it up. The Bills only needed a 3. We needed a 6 plus 2. But you are correct. More time off the clock may have done it. So far 2 of the 3 games played have 22 points for the losing side.

Do you realize you were ONE point from a perfect score? That is so tragic! And they don't give you any respect.

Don't feel bad. I missed the Lion win by one point!

 

[milani]

He'd probably score a perfect 16-0, and get 3 dead on, just to teach us a lesson.

Looks like I nailed the Seahawks-Titans game!! 20-17!!!

Did you forget to pick the Pats-Broncos? It's OK. We can let you have the Pats.

Well done milani.

Karma. When Carlson kicked the last FG I knew Seattle would do it.

The Packers/Panthers. I think I'll give you that one.

games in weeks 17 & 18. Count em' V, so it doesn't screw up your good pick record that you have.

Milani solidified his contest lead by being the only player to get a bingo score for this week when Seattle kicked their winning field goal to topple Tennessee 20-17. His fourth bingo this season. Well done!

Bingos are correct score predictions.

Some of players have not sent in their predictions lately so their scores and records tend to suck. Others may be new to this years pool.

Those of you who may have missed a few weeks, and wish to improve their pitiful scores, you are welcome back. Any new players who wish to show up the top tier players are more than welcome to join. Good luck to all!

There may be mistakes in the above calculations. If there are any discrepancies in scoring requiring correction, we will forward them to the accounting firm of Peterson, Foster, Olsen (PFO) who will audit your request. They really will.

Old School, a late season surprise, building a solid offense for next year.
