Wild one.
Josh Allen is pretty good at football.
I finally finished watching this game. Wow!
I still don’t get what quality makes Nacua so fucking great, but damn, he’s amazing.
He’s pretty good at picking fiancées too.

Where the hell is Eddie, I thought he eats these damn things?
Not even my coonass buddies in Thibodeaux eat racoon, but this guy has ideas:
Lions down by 10, 12 minutes left in the game and Campbell tries an onside kick. It backfired spectacularly and now they’re down three scores.
Campbell often shows more balls than brains. But he’s still a damn good coach.
I was just thinking that they’d be a Super Bowl contender if they had a league average head coach.
Also, Shane Steichen has Slowik off the hook for the week’s most disastrous play calling.
He’s a Taylor Sheridan character.

Dan Campbell was asked about onsides kicks and basically noted that the element of surprise is completely gone with the new kickoff rules.
He’s got a point.
Personally I’d be in favor of mandatory onsides kicks.
Put the ball at the 40, roll it out pooch it. No touchbacks.
Alternatively keep kickoffs but instead of an onsides kick the scoring team’s offense gets a single offensive play to maintain possession–like 4th and 25 from the 40.
I’m sure both of those are too tricked up to seriously be considered but the current kickoff format is lacking in excitement.
I’ve always hated onside kicks. Having some random bounce of a football cancel out the previous 59 minutes of play always seemed hokey.
However, I agree that current kickoffs in the NFL pretty much suck.
Unless Manfred switches leagues.

Do you feel the same about Hail Marys?
If you don’t want to have the game be decided by a random bounce - or deflected endzone catch - then be ahead by more than one score at the end.

What about 2-out rallies in the 9th inning? Why should having to get the 27th out cancel out the first 26? If you’re leading with 2-out in the 9th, just call it a game. Who would argue with that?

There’s nothing about Hail Marys or 27th outs that are any different from the rest of the game. They’re also not inherently random.
There is nothing different about an onside kick in that sense either. If you’re gonna argue the random bounce of the ball, that is certainly not unique to onside kicks. You seem to be arguing that one play should not affect the outcome, but that happens all the time.
