Because you've two TOs left and they've already hung 42 on you?

Go Jags

[gallsman]

Had to go onside given the scores the D was giving up.

Why not kick the FG rather then waste all that time?! You need it anyway.

Onside kick was a mistake. Playing for a three and out from the Jags offense was the higher percentage play and would have given them the ball back with 2 minutes left.

Again, they'd already conceded 42 points by then. Kind of knocks a coach's confidence in the likelihood of a three and out. It was the right call.

This is the Jags offense we're talking about. There are no good options down 7 with 2:20 on the clock but only about 1 in 10 onside kicks are recovered. I'll take my chances with Blake Bortles.

So, the London Jags have a shot at a Super Bowl appearance before my Browns!

[Clov]

Bortles vs Foles superbowl is a real possibility. How mad is that.

It was never the right call. The odds of an onside kick are far less than a 3and out against a team who would have ran the ball. Defense was terrible but you can't tell me they had a better chance recovering an onside. Also flip side is a failed onside kick is almost a guaranteed 3 points. As it transpired.

Mike Tomlin is a horrible game manager, a bit like Andy Reid.

Saints look like they're in the process of imploding.

Keenums a great story. Vikings are a good solid team. If they win out stew will have a stroke.

This is just embarrassing now.

That interception might make this interesting.
