    I really like the rule that no positive yards = stop the clock inside of 2 minute warning.

    If I'm understanding this correctly, that means teams would no longer be able to kneel the ball from victory formation? I stopped watching after 1 series lol... just couldn't do it.

    This was a nice game, defense really played hard, almost like a real game.
    even you could see defensive players hitting hard teammates on the other team.

    Who else would you give it to? In a game like that, with so many of the skill position players rotating in and out, it's hard to put up impressive stats. At least by normal game standards. Especially when the defenses actually decide to play. By that measure, 7/10 for 89 yards and a TD and a 130 passer rating is pretty good. Extrapolate that over 4 quarters and that's a damned good game.

    You serious? That's who you would have picked? Are you playing devil's advocate, or blindly siding with the committee for whoever they chose?

    Players on the losing team rarely, RARELY win MVP in any pro sporting event. Ya know...how valuable could you have been if your team lost? You have to do something insane to be worthy of being an exception. He didn't even come close to doing so. They gave it to a QB who had a pedestrian game. It's freakin bizarre.

    I would have given it to Alex Smith, who orchestrated the game-winning drive for the winning team, or Tolbert, who powered his way to a 4th down conversion on a fake punt (didn't end up directly resulting in a score, but affected their starting field position on their following possession/opponent was in fg position to put the game away if he didn't convert) and powered his way to the came winning 2 point conversion.

    Unless there was another gimmick rule that I missed, where OffMVP has to go to one team and DefMVP goes to the other, it's absolutely mind-boggling that Foles won it.
