Title: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: dolphins4life on January 02, 2024, 01:19:51 pm Remember when the Raiders and Chargers were in the position where a tie could have gotten them both in. They almost tied. The Chargers were criticized for calling a timeout near the end of overtime, even though it wouldn't have stopped the Raiders from kicking the field goal.
If Miami is in the situation in overtime this Sunday, where they can kneel three times and get a tie, do you think Mike McDaniel will do it?

Title: Re: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: masterfins on January 03, 2024, 09:55:53 am Yeah I'm actually looking for a 23-23 tie with Buffalo.
Title: Re: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: Dave Gray on January 03, 2024, 10:32:21 am If you can run the clock out and get a tie, you should. It's like kneeling the ball to end a game...same idea. So long as that's the #2 seed still. If seeding is on the line (I don't know the exact tiebreakers), then there's incentive to go for the win, hoping for another home playoff game down the line.
Title: Re: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: Spider-Dan on January 03, 2024, 11:54:14 am MIA is locked into either the #2 or #6 seed.
BUF can be #2, #6, #7, or out entirely (with a loss + wins from IND & PIT). Title: Re: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: Pappy13 on January 03, 2024, 12:29:29 pm MIA wins the division if the next game is a tie, as they would be 11-5-1 and BUF would be 10-6-1. Ah, duh. I forgot that Buf and Mia would have the same record if Buf wins but lose the division on the tie break. Obviously if going for the tie wins you the division you do it if the circumstances are right.Title: Re: Flashback to the last week of 2021 Post by: Dave Gray on January 03, 2024, 03:20:15 pm Miami being 2 with Buffalo either being 6 or out is ideal.
