NFL 2013 Season Thread

[Heisenberg]

Phillip Rivers and Sam Bradford are the best in them

[ClockShot]

Ooof. Von Miller out with a torn ACL.

Wild as it sounds, we were better without him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How's that? What if they both win... confused

If they both Win:

If the Chargers beat The Chiefs Miami is in,
If Chargers lose to the Chiefs Ravens is in.

(Chargers would be playing for nothing at this point.)

[McLegend]

I'm terrified about Sunday.. Not looking forward to it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So you'd rather be 4-12 like last year? Do you really think Romo won't choke the big one yet again?

Why haven't you changed your catchphrase? Andy was fired.

[Heisenberg]

Romo is out for the season

wowsa, his back

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Oh shit. Now time to start panicking McLegend. Romo the choker is out.

[Innovator]

So what are the odds Jerry Jones steps in at QB?

[ClockShot]

Jerry's got the firing squad on stand-by for next week.

[Heisenberg]

Now they came out and cut a promo saying that Romo might be able to come back.

Could be a tactic to throw their opponent off.

Week 17 is going to be interesting as helllllll

[#1-norm-fan]

Goddammit...

[DaveBrawl]

Love Kyle Orton, will definitely be cheering Dallas on to win the championship.

[DaveBrawl]

...I mean Geaux Broncos.

[#1-norm-fan]

I actually like Kyle Orton as a backup.

But he's still a backup. And the thought of him having to drive the ball down the field repeatedly to make up for a defense that is allowing opposing offenses to put up gaudy numbers scares me.

[#1-norm-fan]

Regardless of what happens, I fully expect the fact that Romo lead two late drives and threw a 4th down do-or-die touchdown pass in a must-win game to get Dallas to this week to be forgotten instantly. You know... you gotta ignore the clutch performances and record amount of comebacks in order to view things how you want.

[#1-norm-fan]

Damn. The Falcons came to play.

For about 59 minutes.

[Bad News Gertner]

Thank God for that Matt Ryan INT

[The Fraze]

Cannot even believe that game. I have been a part of some of the most ridiculous eruptions during San Francisco sports games the last couple of years. Matt Cain's Perfect Game was the loudest I had been a part of...until Bowman's interception.

[Bad News Gertner]

hahah this is brilliant http://profootballmock.com/facebookchat/nfl-qbs-facebook-secret-santa/

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Andrew Luck

[Heisenberg]

http://profootballmock.com/facebookchat/nfl-qbs-facebook-secret-santa/

Been enjoying these weekly QB facebook mocks

Phillip Rivers and Sam Bradford are the best in them

hahah this is brilliant http://profootballmock.com/facebookchat/nfl-qbs-facebook-secret-santa/

Who's your fav from it?

[Bad News Gertner]

Thought the Secret Santa one was the best. Funniest thing in all over them was. Richard Sherman saying "I threw 5 int this week". Then one the qb's says "hey that's Eli's line". Sherman "yeah, I know I intercepted it"

[Heisenberg]

Sam Bradford's character is genius, and I mark out when Phillip Rivers prompts an entrance with his questions

[Nark Order]

Ridiculous. There was jumping, screaming, crying, hugging, laughing, and any other joyful displays of emotion going on around me.

[Emperor Smeat]

Jerry Jones states Jason Garrett's job is secure for next season regardless what happens next week in the Cowboys-Eagles game.

[The Fraze]

BOWMAN

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cannot fucking believe the Giants could wind up finishing 7-9 after starting 0-6.

I can't wait to see what kind of contract Nicks gets next year. If he had stayed healthy and had a year even close to what he did in 2011, he'd have gotten a monster multi-year deal from somebody. Instead he continues to get banged up, missed the biggest game of the year, and is staring a year with 0 TD right in the face. I still think he'll get a multi-year deal from somebody, but I think the guaranteed money will be relatively low so the team can get out of it if he gets hurt again.

Giants made the right call in making locking up Cruz the priority over Nicks. Mind Cruz only had 4 TD this year (none since week 4) but at least he still got close to 1,000 yards receiving and would have easily eclipsed it were it not for the injury. Big plays down field are still his specialty and where he gets most of his TDs, but the Giants haven't really been able to bomb it down field when Eli gets swarmed every other time he has to drop back. They'll go O-line in either the first or second round, if not both. Probably will draft a new WR to groom as well to compete with Jernigan for the #3 spot. Dunno how sold I am on Randle being a #2, he seems to work best as a #3, but they'll have to make due unless they can find budget room to pick up a solid #2 WR in free agency, if there are any out there.</font>

[McLegend]

So you'd rather be 4-12 like last year? Do you really think Romo won't choke the big one yet again?

Why haven't you changed your catchphrase? Andy was fired.

What? No Shut up. I forgot to change it when I changed my avatar. Can't change it now.

Still scared, but less now.

[Evil Vito]

Cowboys try out such luminaries as David Carr, Tyler Thigpen, and John Skelton. Sign Jon Kitna.

[#1-norm-fan]

Still reading reports flat out saying "Romo will not be playing this Sunday" and equally as many reports saying he could play. No idea what to believe.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Jon Kitna.

[Kris P Lettus]

Jeff Garcia wanted to come back earlier this year for the Browns

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Vince Young said he was ready to be a QB for the Texans this year too. I wonder if Drew Bledsoe can still throw the ball? Would be poetic justice for him losing his job undeservedly to Tony Homo.

[ClockShot]

Jon Kitna. Didn't see that coming.

Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and JaMarcus Russell doing something else?

[Ruien]

JaMarcus Russell is spending those well deserved dollars of his.

[#1-norm-fan]

Vince Young said he was ready to be a QB for the Texans this year too. I wonder if Drew Bledsoe can still throw the ball? Would be poetic justice for him losing his job undeservedly to Tony Homo.

lol. Oh God.

[#1-norm-fan]

There's not nearly enough Brett Favre talk going on right now. When I searched Google News for his name, I was sure I'd find at least one random article on him coming back.

[screech]

Kitna! 10-6!

here's one

[James Steele]

Considering the potential ramifications both professionally and personally for the coaches and staff of the Dallas Cowboys, I'd imagine it will be a game day decision whether or not Romo plays. If he does play with a herniated disc that needs surgery, then I will never say another bad thing about Tony Romo and the medical staff for the Cowboys (and NFL officials) should be ashamed for putting him at such risk if this information is known.

[Krimzon7]

Jerry Jones Guarantees The coaching staff's job security, then fires them all within the same year ending press conference this coming Monday or Tuesday.

[Emperor Smeat]

Packers announced Aaron Rodgers will start against the Bears this weekend.

[Evil Vito]

Congratulations Packers on the NFC North win.

there are supposedly 64 possible ways the seeding could go in the NFC after week 17. geez.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Love Tony Gonzalez. Shame he never got to play in the Super Bowl, but that shouldn't diminish his excellent career. Glad he at least got to experience a playoff win last year.

He hasn't ruled out that he could get the itch next year and come out of retirement again, but did say that there is no way he is playing a full season. Said the only circumstance where he would even consider returning is if the Falcons or Chiefs were clearly primed for a playoff run and one of the teams had a need to fill at tight end.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

http://deadspin.com/chart-all-64-potential-nfc-seeding-outcomes-1490628286?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

there are supposedly 64 possible ways the seeding could go in the NFC after week 17. geez.

Hmm. That can't be right.

There are 64 possible outcomes for the 6 meaningful games but some of them would definitely lead to the same playoff seeding since not every team still alive has a chance at every seed.

[#1-norm-fan]

In fact, look at the chart. The first and third possibilities show the exact same seeding. And again with the second and fourth.

[Nark Order]

Tomorrow is fucking batshit insane with all of these important games. Can't believe the 9ers can still win the division. I need Jeff Fisher to do me this favor. Please, Jeff.

[#1-norm-fan]

Meanwhile, Arizona could actually be pretty scary if they can make it into the playoffs. Especially if Carson Palmer can limit himself to turning the ball over only once or twice a game.

Playoffs or not, if they win tomorrow, they've gotta be the "sneakiest" 11 win team in NFL history.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to ESPN, Texans close to hiring Penn State's Bill O'Brien to become their new head coach next season.

[Nark Order]

I would not be surprised if Arizona knocked off the Niners tomorrow, seeing as how they've been on a rampage. Hopefully 9ers front 7 can cause Palmer to make mistakes. He's already a bit prone to tossing picks.

If 9ers win the division somehow tomorrow I am going to have diarrhea.

[RoXer]

I wish they moved the Saints/Bucs to the early game so we'd know if it's worth anything or not.

But then again playing simultaneously might provide more drama. Whatever.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm kind of torn on this Eagles/Cowboys game now. Obviously I hate both teams and I'm hoping whoever wins gets bounced out next week. Initially I was leaning towards hoping for an Eagles win because the prospect of seeing Dallas lose the NFC East deciding game in Week 17 for the third year in a row against a third different division rival seemed too hilarious to pass up.

But with Dallas not having Romo now and nobody really thinking they have a chance in hell, them losing wouldn't even be that funny. The Eagles could be in a situation where they might be peaking at the right moment which could propel them deep into the playoffs. Dallas on the other hand I can't see getting out of the first round with Orton and that defense. Would seem they're far less of a threat.

Also, Dallas making the playoffs probably ensures Garrett's job security and much of the coaching staff. So given that I'll probably have to, reluctantly, pull for Dallas.</font>

[RoXer]

Rooting for:

Bucs
Packers
Cardinals
Cowboys

So the first round would be AZ vs DAL and SF vs GB

And I guess the Ravens for the last AFC spot

So when's the betting window open up for Black Monday?

I'm putting money down on Greg Schiano getting fired from Tampa Bay. Wanna go with Garrett, too. But it all depends on what happens tonight.

[Innovator]

Jim Schwartz has to be close to being fired.

[Krimzon7]

I think you just opened it!

Schiano is outta there. Mike Smith will get some long looks. The whole Raiders Staff is gone. Coughlin and Ryan could be out in New York.

[ClockShot]

I think Mike Smith will get a mulligan. Artie Blank is a fool if he lets him go. NOBODY saw Atlanta being this bad.

I think the Shanahans are out in D.C., too.

[Nark Order]

Today has the potential to be one of the greatest days in 9er history. It also has the potential to be incredibly discouraging.

[RP]

Fuck the Bengals! Fuck the Patriots. Tom Brady and Andy Dalton can hate rape eachother. Go Colts! Lets get #2!

[RP]

How did Jerrel Freeman not make the Pro Bowl again?

[owenbrown]

rooting for the Bengals so the Ravens can be eliminated from the playoffs. I don't want the No Fun League to rig the Super Bowl for Baltimore again.

[Kris P Lettus]

From SBnation

With only eight of the 12 playoff spots clinched, it's going to be a must-see Week 17 in the NFL. While teams battle for the final playoff berths, only Kansas City is locked into its current seed. There is a whole lot that can change this week throughout the NFL.

Things are especially fluid in the NFC where the Seattle Seahawks could clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs or potentially drop as low as the No. 5 seed and be forced to go on the road next week. Things are more clear in the AFC, but home-field advantage and both first-round byes are still up for grabs.

Here's a look at where things stand and the possible scenarios.

(X) - clinched playoff berth (Y) - clinched division

NFC playoff standings

No. 1 - (X) Seattle 12-3

No. 2 - (X) Carolina 11-4

No. 3 - Philadelphia 9-6

No. 4 - Chicago 8-7

No. 5 - (X) San Francisco 11-4

No. 6 - New Orleans 10-5

In the hunt: Arizona 10-5, Dallas 8-7, Green Bay 7-7-1

The focus will be on Chicago and Dallas, where the NFC North and NFC East divisions will be settled respectively. The Bears will host the Packers with the winner taking the NFC North. The Eagles will travel to Dallas with the winner clinching the NFC East. The final wild card spot comes down to New Orleans and Arizona. If the Saints win, they are in. Arizona needs to win and have New Orleans lose to make the playoffs. Here are all of the clinching and seeding scenarios.

Seattle:

Seattle clinches the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win/tie or a San Francisco loss/tie.

Carolina:

Carolina clinches the NFC South and a first-round bye with a win/tie or a New Orleans loss/tie. The Panthers clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage with a win, a Seattle loss and a San Francisco win.

Philadelphia:

The Eagles clinch the NFC East with a win/tie against Dallas. If they get a result, they will be the No. 3 seed.

Dallas:

The Cowboys clinch the NFC East with a win against the Eagles. If Dallas and Chicago win, the Cowboys will be the No. 4 seed. If Dallas and Green Bay win, the Cowboys will be the No. 3 seed.

Green Bay:

The Packers clinch the NFC North and the No. 4 seed with a win at Chicago.

Chicago:

The Bears clinch the NFC North with a win/ tie against Green Bay. If Chicago and Philadelphia win, the Bears will be the No. 4 seed. If Chicago and Dallas win, the Bears will be the No. 3 seed.

San Francisco:

San Francisco would clinch the NFC West and a first round bye with a win and a Seattle loss to St. Louis. The 49ers would clinch home-field advantage with a win and losses by Seattle and Carolina. If the 49ers win/tie and Seattle wins/ties, the 49ers are the No. 5 seed. San Francisco is also the No. 5 seed if the Saints lose. If the 49ers lose and the Saints win, San Francisco drops to the No. 6 seed.

New Orleans:

The Saints will clinch a playoff spot with a win or an Arizona loss. New Orleans would clinch the NFC South and a first-round bye with a win and a Carolina loss. If the Saints, 49ers and Panthers win, New Orleans will be the No. 6 seed. If the Saints and Panthers win and the 49ers lose, New Orleans would be the No. 5 seed. New Orleans would clinch the No. 6 seed with a loss and an Arizona loss.

Arizona:

Arizona would clinch the No. 6 seed with a win and a New Orleans loss. If New Orleans wins or the Cardinals lose, Arizona is eliminated.

AFC playoff standings

No. 1 - (Y) Denver 12-3

No. 2 - (Y) New England 11-4

No. 3 - (Y) Cincinnati 10-5

No. 4 - (Z) Indianapolis 10-5

No. 5 - (X) Kansas City 11-4

No. 6 - Miami 8-7

In the hunt: Baltimore 8-7, San Diego 8-7, Pittsburgh 7-8

Although more is settled in the AFC, the race for the final wild card spot is much more complicated. Four teams remain in contention, but none of the four have a clear path. Each will need help from other teams to get in, even if they win. There is also seeding up for grabs. New England could wind up with the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage, or drop as low as the No. 4 seed.

Denver:

The Broncos clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home-field advantage with a win/tie or a New England loss/tie.

New England:

The Patriots clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage with a win and a Denver loss. New England will clinch a first-round bye with a win/tie. It also takes the No. 2 seed with a loss if Cincinnati and Indianapolis lose/tie. If the Patriots and Colts lose and Cincinnati wins, New England will be the No. 3 seed. If it loses and both Cincinnati and Indianapolis win, the Patriots will be the No. 4 seed.

Cincinnati:

Cincinnati will clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with a win and a New England loss. If the Bengals and Patriots win, Cincinnati is the No. 3 seed. If the Bengals lose and the Colts win, the Bengals are the No. 4 seed. If the Colts lose, Cincinnati can do no worse than the No. 3 seed.

Indianapolis:

The Colts have an outside shot at a first-round bye and would clinch the No. 2 seed if they win, the Patriots lose and the Bengals lose/tie. If the Bengals and Colts win with New England losing, Indianapolis would be the No. 3 seed. The Colts would also move up to No. 3 with a win and a Bengals loss/tie.

Kansas City:

The Chiefs are locked into the No. 5 seed regardless of what happens in Week 17.

Miami:

Miami can clinch the No. 6 seed four different ways. If the Dolphins win and the Ravens lose/tie, Miami is in. Miami is also in with a win and a Chargers win. If Miami ties, it would need the Ravens to lose and the Chargers to lose/tie. In the event Miami, Baltimore and San Diego all tie, the Dolphins make the playoffs. If Miami loses, it is out, regardless of the other outcomes.

Baltimore:

A Baltimore win and a San Diego loss/tie sends the Ravens back to the playoffs. Baltimore is also in with a win and a Miami loss/tie. If the Ravens tie, the Dolphins lose and the Chargers lose/tie, Baltimore is the No. 6 seed. The same works with a Ravens tie, a Dolphins tie and a Chargers loss. Baltimore can make the playoffs with a loss, but would need the Dolphins to lose, the Chargers to lose and the Steelers to lose/tie.

San Diego:

The Chargers need to win and have Miami and Baltimore lose/tie. San Diego can also get in with a tie and losses by the Ravens and Dolphins.

Pittsburgh:

The only way for Pittsburgh to get in is if the Steelers win and Miami, Baltimore and San Diego all lose.

[Kingofdaswing]

Crazy day of football. Already off to a great start, need Flacco to be the man, and a little help or my Raven's are toast.

[Evil Vito]

This Giants/Redskins game is a chore to watch.

Crazy day of football. Already off to a great start, need Flacco to be the man, and a little help or my Raven's are toast.

Droford?

[Kris P Lettus]

No because there wasn't 17 paragraphs of stats that no one cares about

[Kingofdaswing]

Not looking good for Ravens, Bangels are looking way too good. I still believe though.

[Innovator]

This Giants/Redskins game is a chore to watch.

Randle is out now for the rest of the game, Nicks just hobbled off the field. Looks like Myers is going to get a lot of looks.

[Evil Vito]

Eli has yet another pass botched by the receiver and into the arms of a defender, and he limps to the locker room. Probably the end of his season.

[Frank Drebin]

Don't have a good feeling about the bears game. Getting ready for the calls to talk radio about how Cutler needs to go. Ugh.

[weather vane]

How can anybody like the Jets? What a horseshit team.

[owenbrown]

fuck off Andy Dalton.... you are blowing this game.

[Kingofdaswing]

Bengals D are coming up huge. Turn overs are 3-0 for the Ravens, and all they have to show for it is 9 points.

Come on Ravens, let's do this! 8 point game with lots of time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Steelers might actually do it. Jets winning, Bengals winning and the Chargers facing the Chiefs.

[Innovator]

Eli has yet another pass botched by the receiver and into the arms of a defender, and he limps to the locker room. Probably the end of his season.

Pretty durable guy to make it until week 17 with the beating he's been given thanks to the line this year.

[Innovator]

Myers bobbles another one into a defender

[Kris P Lettus]

guys i just cheered a roddy white td

i feel like i need a hot shower

[Kingofdaswing]

What do you guys think of the bears Packers game coming up next? Love Trestman (I'm a CFL guy) and I think him riding Cutler is the best decision for the team.

[Evil Vito]

The only scenario I really don't want to see is Seattle and New Orleans getting the top 2 seeds. Might make the playoffs a bit less interesting as I could see one dropping a playoff home game but not both.

[Kingofdaswing]

Ravens have tied it up! Yes!

[Innovator]

Beatty is gone now.

[Innovator]

Yup, that's an ACL.

[Innovator]

Or a broken leg.

[Evil Vito]

Fucking Christ. They really should just end this game. It's pointless.

[Kris P Lettus]

Or a broken leg.

*spider leg

:(

[weather vane]

Wowwww what a miss

[Frank Drebin]

What do you guys think of the bears Packers game coming up next? Love Trestman (I'm a CFL guy) and I think him riding Cutler is the best decision for the team.

There should be no controversy. Cutler is the starter. That being said, still feel bad about today.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Chiefs are taking a knee in this game. So many inactives. Steelers hahaha.

[Emperor Smeat]

Chargers have to be really happy right now. Miami and Baltimore are loosing and the Chiefs just made it public they are resting a bunch of players.

[Evil Vito]

Jerrel Jernigan is looking like a viable #3 WR option for next year.

[Frank Drebin]

Be careful about anointing someone in week 17. Remember Devin Aromashodo?

[Kris P Lettus]

COME ON FALCONS YOU FUCKS

WIN THIS ONE FOR TONY G

WIN THIS FOR THE WHO DAT NATION

[owenbrown]

Tennessee beats Houston finishes 7-9, and causes the Texans to be the # 1 pick in the draft.

[#1-norm-fan]

Houston's decision to start tanking for the #1 draft pick back in week 3 is a success! 14 straight losses later, they have locked it up.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

From champs to chumps. Where is Droford?

[Kris P Lettus]

FUCK YOU MATT RYAN

3 and out on that drive and now the Panthers are gonna win

[#1-norm-fan]

From champs to chumps. Where is Droford?

owenbrown may be onto something with this kingofdaswing thing.

[owenbrown]

and Flacco throws a pick-6.... lol

[Kris P Lettus]

Tony Gonz needs a 90 yard TD right now

[Corndad]

C'mon Kansas City Backups!!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Flaccid.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

San Diego has destiny in their own hands.

[Corndad]

I dunno if Steelers will get in but seeing Flacco walk off the Field with his head down makes me smile.

[Krimzon7]

I think Mike Smith will get a mulligan. Artie Blank is a fool if he lets him go. NOBODY saw Atlanta being this bad.

I think the Shanahans are out in D.C., too.

I forgot about the DC Situation. No way Shanahan will get another year. Artie Blank can't be married to Mike Smith. He's a good coach, but he's gotten Atlanta as far as he can get them. It may be time to shake shit up. But it also makes sense to bring him back. I just think a long look is needed. Thomas Dimitrioff missed on every single Off Season Move that he made this year too.

The best thing they did in the off season was scrimmage my Bengals.

[Kingofdaswing]

Damn Bengals were too much today. Oh well, new champs will be crowned!

[Emperor Smeat]

Redskins already teasing Shannahan is getting fired while Lions set to get rid of both the GM and entire coaching staff.

Wouldn't be surprised if Miami fires Joe Philbin now.

[Krimzon7]

Philbin may stay...only because the GM has shown to be a bit of a scumbag.

[weather vane]

You guys have no idea how hard it is to be a Dolphins fan.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Do you live in the Miami/Florida area?

[Kris P Lettus]

the only good thing about the falcons losing is that i got this

http://giant.gfycat.com/QueasyCoarseHart.gif

[owenbrown]

I lol'ed watching that on RedZone when Atlanta botched that snap

[Evil Vito]

So the Giants start 0-6 and finish 7-9. Really the whole year came down to the Bears game and the two Cowboys games...but with the injuries to Manning, Nicks, Randle, and Beatty today making the playoffs wouldn't have even mattered.

[Impeccable]

Poor call from the ref for the touch back challenge in Bears/Packers game.

I agree, not sure what he was looking at

[Impeccable]

GO BEARS!

Saints falling for a motherfucking flea flicker

[Impeccable]

Massive pass against the Saints - jeez!

Touchdown Bears!

One of the most bizarre touchdowns I've seen for Green Bay @ Chicago

[Evil Vito]

Peyton now has the yardage record. 55 passing TDs. Highest scoring offense of all time. 31-0 lead at the half. Gotta figure the 2nd half will be the Brock Osweiler show.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wont mean shit when they get eliminated in the Divisional Round.

Considering how the Ravens looked at the beginning of the year, I'm actually happy with 8-8. Bummed they couldn't at least win the finale, though.

Pulling for SD so the Steelers miss (sorry, Corndad)!

[Kingofdaswing]

Good "bend but don't break" defence by the bears. What a way to get scored on.. Get the fumble and your team quits before a whistle is blown, GB grabs it and goes in for the TD. If they lose because of that, it may go down as one of the biggest boneheaded plays of all time.

[owenbrown]

Laces out, 49ers holder.

Mental. Why not "play to the whistle"? Keep playing till the referee says otherwise.

[Impeccable]

Immense return from Hester. 49 yard return.

[Impeccable]

Touchdown BEARS!!!!

[Kingofdaswing]

Great start to the second half for Chicago, D gets a 3 and out, huge return by Hester, and Forte taking control of the offense and scoring.

That understandable lol I would have to question your Raven fanhood if you didn't man. I actually feel the same way, even if San Diego pulls this out and Steelers miss playoffs 8-8 after the start they had is practically a miracle.

[ron the dial]

hahaha bears run defense

[Impeccable]

Could be just one point in this Bears/Packers game.

[owenbrown]

Chicago made another bonehead play because that was a touchdown and they could have challenged and most likely won instead of wasting a timeout.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rob Chudzinski expected to get fired by the Browns as early as tomorrow.

[Kris P Lettus]

lol @ the Brady punt

[owenbrown]

a Rams player just got tossed for touching an official.

Brady is better te the Bengals punter

GOOD GOD THAT;S CHASE DANIEL'S MUSIC!

[Kris P Lettus]

I missed Chase Daniels

:(

[#1-norm-fan]

Feels like the Cheifs haven't played a real meaningful game in forever.

[Corndad]

My Gawd Chase Daniels will never buy a drink in Pittsburgh again if they pull this off.

[Corndad]

Good Lord.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wow. Ryan Succop should stay far away from the Pittsburgh area if Kansas City loses this game.

This finish in Chicago is going to be amazing

I hate being this stress out but I'll tell you what, the NFL did an amazing job with the sched this year where there are this many divisional games that mean something week 17

Did any team rest their starters today?

[Emperor Smeat]

:cool: Pats won.

Blount was amazing today. 189 yards rushing to go along with 2 TDs.

Yes

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wow. I can't even explain what happened today. What a hot mess the NFL is some times. Wow. Amazing set of games.

[Crazy Nick]

Glad to see Aaron Rodgers back and a Packers win!

[owenbrown]

It's Sunday Night Football pregame and NBC is talking hockey... fuck off.

Green Bay destroys the division, planning for an actual opponent in the 9ers.

Also, Phillip Rivers cuts a good promo when given the mic

It honestly seems like just yesterday Tim Tebow lead the Broncos into the divisional playoffs with an amazing throw in overtime.

Time is really flying by.

We'll all be dead soon.

[Kris P Lettus]

Going to Lambeau. Fuck.

I'm pulling for Dallas cause I think that's an easier road for us.

That means the NFL made me pull for the Falcons, Niners, and Cowboys all in one day.

F you Roger Goodell

[RoXer]

Many observers have pointed out the symbolism of Tebow's 316 passing yards in comparison to the Biblical passage of John 3:16. Tebow – known for his strong religious beliefs – had the number in black under his eyes when he led the Florida Gators in winning the 2009 BCS National Championship Game, which was played exactly three years to the day before this playoff game. Additionally, he set a playoff record by averaging 31.6 yards per completion. The only interception of the game was thrown by the Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on 3rd down and 16. The Nielsen ratings for the game also peaked at 31.6

Tebow :(

Not going to forgive them for turning me into a temporary Rams fan for the day. Especially because it was all for naught.

[Nark Order]

Aaron Rodgers would love nothing more than to stop us in Lambeau after all of the trouble the Niners have given the Packers the past few seasons. If our defense doesn't show up, we might be toast. Kap hasn't been reliable enough for anyone to be comfortable yet.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hearing people say "Kyle Orton is a good game manager" doesn't make me feel any less worried about this game. Game managers only really help when you don't have the worst defense in football.

[OssMan]

jamessteele, you can watch this game on nbc.com

[James Steele]

I'm still at home for the holidays. Watching it with my dad and wearing the Dallas Cowboys scarf I got for Christmas.

[ClockShot]

Just got home from a relative house and was watching that Packers/Bears game. Pretty darn good.

Ol' Woody Johnson didn't take long to say Rex Ryan will be back.

<font color=goldenrod>The Browns really are a terrible organization. They have no patience whatsoever. Why would any good coaching prospect want to even bother going to Cleveland? The money might be nice but your ass will be gone in a year or two whether you deserve it or not.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Not sure what the Browns wanted from Rob Chudzinski. Didn't they trade away Trent Richardson with no reliable backup because he didn't fit Chudzinski's system? So they accepted a rebuilding season, willingly went with Willis McGahee at RB, then had to go with Jason Campbell at QB after Hoyer's injury and now they're firing Chudzinski after one season where they basically conceded it from the get-go. Doesn't make sense.

[James Steele]

The Browns deserve to be the drizzling shits.

[#1-norm-fan]

Where the FUCK has this defense been all season!?

[#1-norm-fan]

This getting into the red zone and then getting conservative and settling for 3 shit definitely needs to stop.

[owenbrown]

looks like here is the Titans' 2014 schedule:

2014 Tennessee Titans Opponents
Home Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas, NY Giants, AFC East* (NY Jets? finished 2nd in AFC East; Tennessee finished 2nd in AFC South)
Away Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington, AFC West (Kansas City?)*
* Team from that division that finishes in the same spot in the 2013 standings.

[#1-norm-fan]

So NO ONE noticed the clock starting at 25 instead of 40!?!?! No one!?!? What the fuck!?!?

How does that even happen??? lol

[Innovator]

Final countdown plays, it's a sign.

[#1-norm-fan]

Well they scored so no harm done. Still have no idea how that fucking happens and doesn't get fixed though.

[Kris P Lettus]

The Browns deserve to be the drizzling shits.

They gave dude permission to trade one of their best players, pretty much saying it was a rebuilding season, then they fire him and are sitting on the draft picks

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't even take this game right now.

Of course this comes down to a last drive

Yeah. New Orleans is amazing on the road. I'd be terrified if I were Philly.

We are almost as good on the road as the Cowboys are in general.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'd give the guy who lead two game winning drives in a must win game last week and has more 4th quarter comebacks over the last 3 seasons than any QB in football more of a chance than the unproven backup. DUNNO.

[#1-norm-fan]

We are almost as good on the road as the Cowboys are in general.

lol. ALMOST as good on the road as the Cowboys are in general. Yet you promise "next week will be worse for Philly". You must think the Cowboys are pretty good then to be that cocky about it.

[screech]

Normally I don't care one way or the other about the Eagles, but they've been fun to watch this year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Some super quick playoff predictions. No in-depth analysis or anything, just "going with my gut".

-Colts over Chiefs
-Saints over Eagles
-Bengals over Chargers
-Packers over Niners

-Seahawks over Saints
-Patriots over Bengals
-Packers over Panthers
-Broncos over Colts

-Seahawks over Packers
-Broncos over Patriots

-Broncos over Seahawks

Actually I don't feel good at all about Peyton getting past Brady in the AFC Title game...but Broncos over Seahawks was my pre-season Super Bowl prediction so I'd kinda feel like a shithead if I changed it now, even though both #1 seeds making it seldom happens.</font>

[screech]

Wildcard weekend should be good in general. Love playoffs.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm gonna go with...

Chiefs over Colts
Eagles over Saints
Bengals over Chargers
49ers over Packers

Seahawks over 49ers
Broncos over Chiefs
Eagles over Panthers
Patriots over Bengals

Seahawks over Eagles
Broncos over Patriots

Seahawks over Broncos

[Bad News Gertner]

Peyton ain't beating Brady
