[wazu]

Ravens -3.5
Chargers -1

If we can get a couple of relatively small upsets to happen this could make for a fun evening.

It happens all the time. You don’t use your TOs. You run the ball 3 times in a row. Sometimes they simply pull the QB. Whatever. What do you think is happening when a team refuses to use their TOs at the end of a game?

Didn't see anybody criticizing Shanahan for doing the same thing in an even worse situation on Sunday down 16. There was nothing unusual about what Bowles did.

Bowels waved the white flag in the playoffs last year against the Lions. This time he didn't and hopefully it costs him his job.

The only people that are praising Bowels are people that like him and don't care about the Bucs.

I think he’s generally a moron in terms of his game management but he did nothing out of the ordinary in playing for points there.

Run the ball 3 times when you're only down 10 points? That doesn't ever happen ever. Yeah maybe they won't use timeouts down 3+ possessions when the other team has the ball with less than 2 minutes, but that's not even close to the same situation.
