Fucking heart attack ending. But Carr being the perfect mediocrity he is was just enough for Washington to take the game.
Barely. McCain avoided a PI. Carr missed two TDs.Told ya!

T.J Watt got the mojo of his big brother.
Baltimore loses on a two point try.
Roethlisberger got his witchcraft back on the game-winning drive."Gutsy call" my a$$ .... Baltimore's D was gassed but you still call yourself lucky and take it to OT there. Whatever... that was a great game.
He's just the best they got.Wait is Roethlisberger trash or good? I can't tell based on Pittsburgh fans...
I'm loling that that loss gets added to Kirk Cousins' resume.
Somewhere along the line, Scott Turner has adjusted his play calling to incorporate a lot more runs. This might be due to the rather heavily injured state of the Oline and TE position, and run blocking is generally what Olinemen prefers. It's probably also changed given the state of the D, which is still very shaky but when the opponent only has 20 minutes of TOP, the D's job becomes...manageable.WFT was 2-6 coming out of a bye and completely out of it, facing the defending SB champs, the Bucs, also coming out of a bye after a loss.
Since then, they have defeated Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Russel Wilson, and Derrick Carr.
They are now 6-6 and in the 6th wild card spot, also controlling their own destiny with a shot to actually win the division.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?????
That one play on 3rd and 15 by Heinicke to get free from that sack was incredible. Sucks that Thomas dropped that pass. It was high but very catchable and he should have caught it based on his ability.Somewhere along the line, Scott Turner has adjusted his play calling to incorporate a lot more runs.

Switching Landon Collins to a hybrid linebacker role also helped, as players who can actually process the safety position man that spot while Landon Collins plays more close to his instincts style.
Rivera has some tactical issues, but he does very well in making the players give effort and not quit, while Jay Gruden's team tend to lay down if things went wrong.
Heinicke is also doing a lot, and the others players believe in him, so they don't quit.
Well, it never did die. Just couldn't operate as a main offense. But it can still produce TDs even with limited use.Remember the Wildcat formation that was going to "revolutionize" the NFL? Took about half a season for league defense to figure it out and it went mostly away.
I expect the foolish trends of going on 4th down all the time and frequently going for 2 when not forced to do so will end up in the same place.

Given the cutthroat nature of the competition behind the sport, innovation and acceptance of new concepts is often slow and met with some suspicion. The Wildcat did not make it mainstream long-term but it not being totally rejected after it was figured out was still a change to the game.Point was that we've been playing pro football for quite awhile now and they're not re-inventing the wheel with this crap.... "Wildcat" was just another formation and wasn't anything special at all long-term.
Matt Millen is worse and it's no even a contest
