When Houston traded their 1st round pick this year, I would have bet money they would have had 2 picks in the top 10, probably in the top 5. The best shot of any team to land Caleb.

Right now Houston is picking in the early 20’s, and Arizona just lost the 1st overall pick with Kyler’s come-from-behind win.

Kyler will probably be good for 3-5 more wins this year… Arizona may not have a top 10 pick at all

Caleb Williams making demands before even being drafted 🤣🤣🤣

The crying and pouting every game, good luck Bears

I don't think it was a matter of the Broncos "getting cute" by attempting that field goal with a running clock. I believe it was actually the smart play. They were facing third down without any timeouts at around thirty seconds. Maybe twenty-five seconds. Their only options are to kick on third down or fourth down. (Or get a touchdown, which isn't happening.)

If they kick on third down, they give the Bills about twenty seconds to get a field goal. It wouldn't have won the game on the spot. The Bills would actually have a slight chance.

They could try to throw the ball on third down to run some time off the clock, but you run the risk of a sack or a penalty or anything else that's stupid.

Kicking on fourth down seemed like the better option to me. Twenty seconds is plenty of time to do it. Hell, remember that Eagles game against the Steelers in 2000 when they ran David Akers onto the field at the last instant to kick the tying field goal at the gun? I think that was with about seventeen seconds or so but that was coming off an actual play to gain yardage and required tremendous improvisation and discipline. With twenty seconds and a group of players ready on the sidelines to sprint in, it's a piece of cake to get set up. You can do that in ten seconds and have the kicker ready without being rushed. Plus, once you make it, the Bills won't have a chance to get the ball back.

The Broncos were extremely well prepared on that play. The mystery is why the Bills were not. But that's their own fault.

Not that the Bills deserved to win that game, but pass interference calls on receivers running into pursuing DBs when they cut back suddenly to go after an underthrown ball always annoy me.

When it's as brazenly underthrown to draw the call as that one was last night I tend to agree,  although I struggle to see how you could officiate it any differently that would avoid swinging the pendulum too far the other way and have dbs just running smack into receivers on every comeback route.

Eh I’ve seen TJ McConnell cry with his family and coach Sean Miller after being eliminated by Wisconsin. the dude is tough as nails. I don’t like seeing him cry with his mom, but I’m not gonna hold that against him because I’ve seen some players go through the University of Arizona cry and wind up being good/great at the next level 

Let me just point out, his offense is averaging 43.2 points per game. They have lost four games because their defense has given up 43 ppg over their last 7. Cal, asu and Wazzu have worse defensive talent then usc and yet somehow still somewhat better on D than usc. I would be frustrated as F too. He cried I probably would’ve went off on everybody in the defensive room and Riley for not being just competent 

I really have less issues with him crying. I’ve seen enough athletes do it. Embiid did it after the raptors game and then went on to win an mvp. William could’ve given up playing after they lost to Utah about four weeks ago and said nothing left to do and not putting my health on the line when I’m the top pick. they knew they weren’t going to the playoffs as soon as that happened. Heisman chase was over too. We’ve seen stuff like that. instead he still out there busting his ass trying to win games with a defense that has no chance. Like I respect the hell out of him for still going out there and playing with really nothing to play for that’s to his advantage. There’s no playoffs. There’s no Heisman. All it is is that he wants to win with the team and keep playing. Granted do think he likely sits out the bowl game which that close to draft i get it more 

I am just making a joke and I guess in 2023 it's ok for men to cry.  😭

The thing about Josh Allen and the Bills offense is that they can go nuclear at any moment. They can also have the dumbest turnovers you'll ever see.

Hold my beer while I ring up Brett Favre.

Big arm, big plays, big mistakes, sound familiar?

I get the logic about not giving the Bills the ball back for at best a HM situation - but making a pressure kick more difficult was ill advised (and he missed).

Wait... there's a 'crowd' at a Clippers game?    Did the fans get confused and show up thinking it was a Lakers game?

Totally agree. Understood the logic but didn't think it was smart

I agree with that logic however:

1) The announcers said roughly 23 times that kicking in that direction is difficult.  You are putting undue stress on your kicker for the game winner by rushing an already tricky kick by rushing the set up.

2) Their defense played really well up to that point.  Spike the ball, get set up and trust your defense to hold.

That was better tolerated in Favre's era too.  More contact in the defensive backfield, tighter coverage, less precision.  A mistake prone gun slinger was a lot closer to the prototype in 1993 than 2023.

Normally, I’m 100% with your line of thinking. But the fact that they just botched an extra point the last time and they also screwed up an extra point earlier in the game is the reason why I’d really have considered it on 3rd down. If they botch the hold then can throw it away and kick it on 4th down. I get likely around 18-20 seconds left if he kicks and makes it but the bills had no timeouts left. Going to be hard for Buffalo to start from the 25 and go 40 yards into FG range (I believe the announcers said there was a swirling wind last night).

Ultimately it worked out for Denver cause Buffalo had 12 guys on the field. Just my opinion kind of felt like the broncos and Lutz had to rush on the field and scramble to get the FG set up after the kneel down, it may have been part of the reason he initially missed it.
