[Nark Order]

That was just a good play by Cromartie. Not a PI at all. I'll take it though.

[Evil Vito]

The bad Eli has finally showed up this year. They aren't winning this game.

[OssMan]

J. Cutler INT to lose the game guaranteed

[Innovator]

Why will they never sneak it?

[Evil Vito]

4th and about 2 inches...literally any other team in football would have just called a QB dive for an easy first. Fucking Giants.

[road doggy dogg]

Or a naked bootleg with Jay Cutler LOLBEARS

[Innovator]

Holy shit a 6 yard run

[Nark Order]

The Rams are such a weird team. Consistently mediocre then they will murder top 5 teams.

[Nark Order]

Jesus fucking christ. The niners secondary today is incredible.

[Evil Vito]

I try my hardest to defend Eli but yeah...this loss is 100% on him.

[Nark Order]

Oh my god. If Staley is out I will punch myself in the face.

[Innovator]

How are the Giants still in this game?

[Nark Order]

The 49ers are going to lose this game by 1 point.

[Nark Order]

Love the somber Fox "got to commercial" theme when somebody gets injured.

[Evil Vito]

3 straight predictable fades to the end zone. Fire McAdoo.

[Nark Order]

Oh my fucking god. Same route 3 times then a pick. Holy god. These games are stressing me out. That should be it though.

Chris Borland has looked like a fucking viking.

[Innovator]

God I miss having a run game

[Evil Vito]

You just know if the Giants get the ball back, Eli is getting a 6th pick, doubling his INTs for the season in a single game. He always does that in garbage time.

[Innovator]

Coughlin doesn't react to Eli picks anymore

[Evil Vito]

I'm pretty sure Coughlin is going to be forced to pick between retirement or firing his coordinators this offseason.

Ah who am I kidding. They're not firing McAdoo after one season.

[Emperor Smeat]

The Rams are such a weird team. Consistently mediocre then they will murder top 5 teams.

Yeup. Denver getting a few key injuries helped a bit as well.

[Ruien]

LETS GO KC!

[Nark Order]

Go The Detroit Lions

[Triple A]

damn @ Packers

[Clerk]

Brian Hoyer sucks. I was so.happy he almost got hurt

[road doggy dogg]

lol that punt return, one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. Almost as crazy as that TD the Texans got a couple years ago where the DB tried to swat the ball down on the hail mary

[road doggy dogg]

Damn lispy screwed us with that call

[McLegend]

When things go bad for Sanchez they really go bad.

Good Lord

[ClockShot]

Bad game for the Broncos from what I'm reading.

Hopefully Thomas and Sanders' injuries aren't too major.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why does British TV have a person doing sign language instead of just having closed captioning? Checked an NFL stream and before the game it had an episode of According to Jim.

[Emperor Smeat]

Supposedly the NFL got raided by the DEA today with medical staffs from the 49ers and Bucs targeted as a surprise.

DEA's been suspicious for a while about some of the stuff teams have been handing out to help players with injuries or possible drug addictions.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wish the Rams were in the NFC South so they could go to the playoffs and inexplicably crush every great team in the league on their way to a championship.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Jonas Gray tonight

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Here's hoping Jonas Gray is a one week wonder. He's already been claimed in the league where I have a seemingly now useless Shane Vereen.</font> :mad:

:D Pats won. That first half was a nail bitter with how bad Brady was. Very impressed with how good the D's been the past couple of games.

Remember this is the Patriots, I doubt Shane Vereen will be useless.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

11.7 in PPR leagues. It's not close to what Gray today did but its better than Gray did most of the season totals before today's snaps.

[Heisenberg]

Rodgers should just take the rest of the regular season off. No competition these last few games.

[road doggy dogg]

"Relax"

[Clerk]

Brian Hoyer Cleveland Browns suck again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nSEW8ycVdk

[Droford]

Id be really laughing at the Steelers shitting the bed a 2nd straight week if it didn't mean I was losing fantasy football.

[Fenix122]

Won my fantasy game this week by less than a point...thanks to the valiant effort of Le'Veon Bell.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Adrian Peterson officially suspended for the rest of the season without pay. Here are some excerpts from Roger Goodell's letter to Peterson:

In modifying the NFL Personal Conduct Policy August 28, Commissioner Goodell established a baseline discipline of a suspension without pay for six games for certain offenses, including a first offense of assault, battery, or domestic violence. He also identified aggravating circumstances that would warrant higher levels of discipline. In his letter, Commissioner Goodell identified several aggravating circumstances present in this case:

“First, the injury was inflicted on a child who was only four years old. The difference in size and strength between you and the child is significant, and your actions clearly caused physical injury to the child. While an adult may have a number of options when confronted with abuse – to flee, to fight back, or to seek help from law enforcement – none of those options is realistically available to a four-year old child. Further, the injury inflicted on your son includes the emotional and psychological trauma to a young child who suffers criminal physical abuse at the hands of his father.

Second, the repetitive use of a switch in this instance is the functional equivalent of a weapon, particularly in the hands of someone with the strength of an accomplished professional athlete.

Third, you have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct. When indicted, you acknowledged what you did but said that you would not ‘eliminate whooping my kids’ and defended your conduct in numerous published text messages to the child’s mother. You also said that you felt ‘very confident with my actions because I know my intent.’ These comments raise the serious concern that you do not fully appreciate the seriousness of your conduct, or even worse, that you may feel free to engage in similar conduct in the future.”

"The well-being of your children is of paramount concern,” Goodell wrote. “In the absence of speaking to you to understand your current disposition toward child discipline, we cannot be sure that this conduct will not be repeated. Moreover, we are unaware of any effort on your part to acknowledge the seriousness of your conduct and your responsibility to demonstrate a genuine commitment to change.

“In order to assess your progress going forward, I will establish periodic reviews, the first of which will be on or about April 15, 2015. At that time, I will meet with you and your representatives and the NFLPA to review the extent to which you have complied with your program of counseling and therapy and both made and lived up to an affirmative commitment to change such that this conduct will not occur again. A failure to cooperate and follow your plan will result in a lengthier suspension without pay.”

Finally, Goodell noted that any further violation by Peterson could result in "banishment from the NFL."

“It is imperative that you to avoid any incident of this kind in the future,” Goodell wrote. “Any further violation of the Personal Conduct Policy will result in additional discipline and may subject you to banishment from the NFL.”</font>

[Nark Order]

I'm pretty torn on this. I don't think physically disciplining children is the worst thing a human being could do ever. I know that I am supposed to be outraged but I'm not. Although, 4 is pretty god damned young.

[Innovator]

Theres a line the size of the Great Wall of China, length wise, between spanking your child and hitting them repeatedly with a switch

[Nark Order]

Eh. When I grew up that was just kinda normal in my extended family. I'm just never going to feel offended by it. My cousins frequently got the belt and I got the belt once or twice. We were much older and more prepared for such though. 4 is way young.

[Clerk]

bROWNS SUCKS

[Ruien]

I think it really hurt him, AP, that he skipped his meeting with the NFL.

[Heisenberg]

What did Ben Tate say to get cut from the Browns?

[ClockShot]

LeGarrette Blount walked off the field early before last night's game was over. Pittsburgh told him to don't bother coming back and released him. :lol:

[Emperor Smeat]

Colts debunked possible rumors of them signing Ray Rice once he's eligible. Rumors were fueled by the Colts need for a new RB and former NFL connections Chuck Pagano had with Rice.

If that doesn't offend you, you're kind of a shitty human being.

[Nark Order]

Naw. It's just hard to have a conversation without people massaging their own egos and doing the "wow, you think that? I don't because I'm great" routine. Congrats, you're average. I grew up with it. Not a big deal to me.

That kind is pretty young though. Not something I would do or condone.

[#1-norm-fan]

It's just odd to me that your personal experience with it makes you not feel like it's wrong in general. Is it really just a matter of "It happened to me so I can't see a problem with it"?

[Nark Order]

It's not that I am "pro beating children," I just recognize that it is a common practice in many parts of the country and people that employ these tactics usually do it for strictly disciplinary purposes and do not intend to harm the child. Is it a great way to go about things? No, probably not. But I don't fault him for thinking that way because that was how he was how he experienced life. Would I employ the same tactics? No. But I don't put my hand over my mouth and audibly gasp when somebody gets the belt. Get real. I've been there.

Not something I'm fond of, but I get it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What did Ben Tate say to get cut from the Browns?

1.7 yards per carry in the last five games and they need a roster spot for Josh Gordon. Not sure if it was anything besides lack of production and overpayment.

Jason Avant has been cut by the Panthers too. I think it was for stuff he said like Blount.

[road doggy dogg]

Tate has been pretty vocal about his lack of touches in recent weeks as well

[#1-norm-fan]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/S3Glks3Dmu4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That's what I don't get about the whole "Well, he was raised to believe that's how you discipline your kids so I don't fault him" thing. He's a grown man now. He's capable of figuring out that beating a kid with a switch until his legs are bleeding is fucking sick and twisted. The fact that it may be "common practice" doesn't make it less so. There's a lot of things that are common practice that are pretty horrific. People need to learn to think for themselves as opposed to just accepting something as fine because it's accepted by others.

[#1-norm-fan]

Still haven't seen an explanation of why Blount left the field early. Just a lot of reports that he did and now he's released.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems to be hinted about his growing frustrations over the lack of carries and playing time that finally got to the point he had that outburst.

Steelers weren't expecting Le'Veon Bell to be as great as he's been this season so he took over as their main RB this season. One of the big reasons Blount left the Pats was to get more playing time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

[road doggy dogg]

Shrewd move by the Pats. They let Blount go to the Steelers and get a pick from the deal, then just re-sign him back when he gets cut.

$10/hours and tickets? I'd be out there in a heartbeat.

[Droford]

Not playing in Buffalo anymore..potentially in DC or NJ..doesn't seem fair to give the jets another home game.

[Nark Order]

Detroit will host. Jesus. That might be awesome.

[#1-norm-fan]

Not playing in Buffalo anymore..potentially in DC or NJ..doesn't seem fair to give the jets another home game.

I feel like that's happened before recently where a team got 9 home games for some reason.

[Droford]

Giants played the Saints in NJ due to katrina

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not playing in Buffalo anymore..potentially in DC or NJ..doesn't seem fair to give the jets another home game.

They lost by 20 at home in October. They could use a break this season. Philly is a 3rd potential spot and more fair to buffalo.

"Sensing" that Jamaal Charles will tear his ACL or something tonight

I wouldn't count those chickens yet buster.

[Triple A]

What if the camera stays like this for the rest of the game

[Droford]

Is there another Chiefs/Raiders game on that I'm not watching, cause the one I'm watching looks like the Chiefs said "fuck this" right around the time they gave up the 90 yard touchdown and decided to sleepwalk through the rest of the game.

If the Raiders were better this would be even more lopsided than 14-3

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Raiders will throw a pick-6 to tie the game.

[screech]

Was there really a 90-yard rushing touchdown in this game

I never bet on the Lions if I can help it, enough EMOTIONAL TRAUMA going on that I don't need to add any more

[road doggy dogg]

The NFL is so fucking absurd. Lynch fined $100,000 for not speaking to the media after last week's game.

Let that sink in.

I know "oh, they're millionaires ah ha ha ha that's peanuts to them" blah blah blah shut up you're stupid

$100,000 fine for not speaking to the media. That's fucking ridiculous. Like I know it's in their contracts I guess to talk to media, but it really shouldn't be. That's an absurd amount of money for something that is far and away such a trivial part of anything.

[screech]

NBA does that too. Dumb

[road doggy dogg]

I can't wrap my brain around this. If it was like a $5,000 fine, then sure I could see that. But $100,000?!?! So stupid. So incredibly stupid. Words are escaping me (clearly)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pretty dumb. Should have just stood there and answer their stupid questions like a smart ass like Bill does.

[Droford]

Both teams played hard

[Emperor Smeat]

Legal sports betting still only allowed in 4 states after a judge ruled against New Jersey and their new sports betting law. Even with the tweaks done to limit legal betting, it wasn't enough for a judge to rule in favor of the state.

Also likely going to lose the appeal as well since the courts hinted the only way legal sports betting can be expanded is if the federal law itself gets tweaked.

http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/11916951/us-district-judge-rules-sports-betting-new-jersey

How is it legal in 4 states when its been deemed illegal by the Federal Government?

Those 4 states were exempted when the federal law was passed in the early 90s.

[Droford]

Stat of the Day

Ravens are 5-8 since 2010 when scoring 15 points or less which is the best record of all teams. The Raiders are 0-22 which is the worst and there are 5 other teams that are winless :
Eagles (0-12), Colts (0-13), Falcons (0-14), Giants (0-16), Bucs (0-19)

[screech]

Thanks Pittsburgh. Touchdown Blount. He walked off the field boohoo. Losers.

Stop it. You would have called for him to be cut, too.

[Droford]

Its better he ended up in NE than Indy..Colts aren't the same team without Bradshaw

[Ruien]

It's not like the Steelers used Blount anyhow. They have a top 5 RB to ride instead of a mediocre RB.

[Droford]

hoyer has thrown 2 passes Josh Gordon that were intercepted and Gordon didn't even try to make an attempt at a catch..hillarious

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Pats won.


Falcons playing prevent D at the end of the game was a big head scratcher considering Browns only needed a FG for the win. 1 big stop on that last drive probably would have won the game for them.

Beckham's catch was outstanding though. Was so frustrated with his injuries early on but he's been well worth the wait. Can't wait to see him and a hopefully healthy Cruz flying around the field next year.</font>

All day today

[#1-norm-fan]

Dallas' defense is gonna be a problem. They tightened up a little in the 2nd half but they're slowly starting to come back to earth and play more like a defense full of backups. If Eli didn't revert to lolEli and fuck up at the goal line late in the 3rd quarter to prevent them from going up by 2 scores again, it could have been bad.

[Innovator]

That was a classic Eli int, a little high, receiver tips it, ball becomes heat seeking towards the nearest defender.

[Emperor Smeat]

<font color=goldenrod>So the Saints and Falcons are tied for the NFC South lead at 4-7. Wow.</font>

Will take a great deal of suckage to do it but wouldn't be surprised at all if whoever wins the NFC South does it with a worse record than the NFC West's horrible year.

Saints have enough winnable games left to get the 3 wins needed to tie it. Only other team with as easy a schedule left is the Panthers.

[road doggy dogg]

If someone wins the NFC South with 6 wins... that will be so amazing

[Droford]

I called the Falcons going 6-0 vs the south and 0-10 vs everyone else

They're 4-0 already, they have Cardinals, Packers and Steelers, finish with saints and panthers

[screech]

Hey the Ravens won :)

[Ruien]

So hoping Saints win the division with 6 wins and host Seattle, who wins the first wild card spot. Would be hilarious to see the roles reversed.

[road doggy dogg]

Will be more funny to see like Atlanta win with 6-10 or 7-9 or w/e and host Green Bay... they might be 14 point home underdogs

[Droford]

NFL firsts

All teams 3 over .500 in a Division (AFC north)
All teams 3 under .500 in a division (NFC south)
16 teams with 7 wins through 12 weeks/11 games

RG III never seemed the same after the knee injury in his rookie season. Probably could blame Mike Shannahan the most for rushing him back way too early that year.

Should have kept him starting after he beat the Cowboys.

[screech]

Hell yeah, Colt McCoy

[Sepholio]

I remember Colt tearing it up at Hawaii. He basically single-handedly made that team legit for a couple years.

[Droford]

Colt McCoy played for Texas

Colt Brennan played for Hawaii, and is now out of football after a bad car accident gave him severe brain damage.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Colt Brennan. I remember that guy.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wtf foxis blocked by Verizon. No football. Denied.

[Nark Order]

Crabtree already took damage on the second play. Gonna be a long game.

[Nark Order]

Kap looking awful

[#1-norm-fan]

Dallas' defense is gonna be a problem. They tightened up a little in the 2nd half but they're slowly starting to come back to earth and play more like a defense full of backups.

Yep.

[Nark Order]

If the defense doesn't get turnovers, we will lose. Offense is hot garbage right now

[DaveWadding]

Hope the 49ers lose.

[Nark Order]

Why are they playing Zombie from The Cranberries right now

[Nark Order]

Oh my god. We are going to get blown out on Thanksgiving

[Nark Order]

Sherman rubbing it in. Nice. Well. At least the food was good today.

[DaveWadding]

DON'T STICK ME ON A SORRY ASS TEAM LIKE THE FORTY-NINERS

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

This will temporarily knock the Cowboys out of the playoffs I think. Or at least tied with Seahawks pending whatever tiebreaker.

[#1-norm-fan]

Head to head is the tiebreaker.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

T/A and Trish music.

[#1-norm-fan]

Colin Kaepernick does not learn from his mistakes.

Probably shouldn't have made that comment about Sherman being afraid of the 49ers receivers and how he's gonna exploit it this year.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Colin ThrowsaPick amirite.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ray Rice has won his appeal and has been reinstated. I'd be very surprised if a playoff contending team signed him at this point. Rice is an asshole but beyond that the media shitstorm would be the last thing you'd want on a playoff push.

I bet someone signs him in the offseason though, unfortunately.</font>

[screech]

He'll be in Oakland next year

[Ruien]

Really don't think he will be in the league again. The team will have a LOT of bad publicity and he is not a major running back. With that being said, would not be surprised at all if Oakland signed him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did the Ravens and the NFL have the video already? That's the biggest issue. Did the Ravens cut him after seeing a video go public they had already seen?

[Ruien]

I thought the Ravens sent it to the NFL but the person in the NFL that received it never passed it on to the higher ups. This could be 100% false though.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really weird football Sunday for me. First time pretty much since I've been watching football that the Giants are mathematically eliminated from any sort of playoff contention with 5 games to play. Even the 4-12 team in 2003 was alive until 3 weeks out. Beyond that, the next 4 games are against teams who won't be in the playoffs either...so it's completely meaningless football really. About the only consequence to these games is deciding which players/coaches stay or go for next year.

At this point I'm hoping the NFC East race can at least stay tight until Week 17 so the Giants will at least play a meaningful game trying to spoil the Eagles' hopes. Who knows if it'll come to that though.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Colin ThrowsaPick amirite.

I call him Cryin Kapernick, because he plays for the forty winers

[Nark Order]

Such intelligence. I can't believe you came up with that on your own. Good job, guy.

[screech]

I would prefer TDs over FGs, obviously, but I am satisfied overall with the Ravens' first half.

[ClockShot]

I wonder if St. Louis is gonna ease up on the gas for the 2nd half?

[Simple Fan]

Such intelligence. I can't believe you came up with that on your own. Good job, guy.

Thanks

[Ruien]

Waiting for Tampa to blow this game somehow.

[Evil Vito]

These Giants are worse than the Giants from the last Fassel season.

[McLegend]

Lol Giants

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow Ravens. That PI call could have gone either way.

[McLegend]

Pass Interference should just be 15 yards now since it's called on every pass 20 yards down the field.

[Innovator]

This fucking team

[Evil Vito]

I still think the top two guys to blame this year are Fewell and Reese. Fewell is gone. Coughlin shouldn't be fired. There are no viable replacements.

Reese needs to go because of years and years of bad drafting but I'll believe the franchise that has had only 3 GMs since 1979 and didn't fire any of them will fire a GM when I see it.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: CBS cut the feed to the Ravens-Chargers game because its going on too long. Just playing commercials right now.

[Ruien]

Bengals play a terrible game but somehow win and get sole possession of first place.

[#1-norm-fan]

What the fuck has happened to Matt Ryan? It's like he's gone through an entire career of maturing, getting really good and then regressing to shit in just a few years.

[Simple Fan]

What the fuck has happened to Matt Ryan? It's like he's gone through an entire career of maturing, getting really good and then regressing to shit in just a few years.

I know what you mean, I have him in my fantasy league as my only QB and he has been up and down all year. Need a big game this week from him.

[Crimson]

Why isn't Jonas in there for the Pats? Is he still benched because of being late? Ridiculous

[OssMan]

The Garett Blount best player

[OssMan]

Fav players are Devin Hester
The Garrett Blunt
R.G. Third
Lary Fitzgerald
Calvin Johnson
Aaron Rodgers


Worst player: J Cutler

[OssMan]

Colts have best WRs

Reggie Wayne
T.Y. Hilton
Hakeem Nicks
"Coby Fleener"

[OssMan]

Stupid how players run back any kickoffs any more... seems like it takes an insane effort to get it back to the 20, most times they get stopped at the 12

[ClockShot]

Oakland gets annihilated 52-0.

Gonna feel really bad for whoever goes #1 in the draft next season.

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ Pats lost. Game was really good though.

Was hoping the Pats defense would have been a lot better against Rodgers but instead he was way too great.

Phil Simms might be the biggest on-air jinx in the NFL. Whenever he praises something good about the Pats (ex. Pats great at man-to-man), something bad occurs afterwards almost every time (ex. Pack scoring right before the half against man-to-man coverage).

[screech]

Wow Ravens. That PI call could have gone either way.

That was a fucking gift for San Diego, BUT if the Ravens scored just one TD instead of settling for a FG, that play is irrelevant/maybe doesn't even happen.

[OssMan]

Phil Simms kept talking about the "sinner" they drafted and how he was a "true sinner"

[Droford]

The Chiefs should rethink the Eva Marie all red everything uniform choice

[Nark Order]

Droford, make a comment about your favorite team losing.

[Ermaximus]

I still think the top two guys to blame this year are Fewell and Reese. Fewell is gone. Coughlin shouldn't be fired. There are no viable replacements.

Reese needs to go because of years and years of bad drafting but I'll believe the franchise that has had only 3 GMs since 1979 and didn't fire any of them will fire a GM when I see it.

The minute they start the fire Coughlin rumors, they'll win another Super Bowl.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That's reason enough to keep him tbh. Next year can continue the every 4 years plan.</font> :)

[Ruien]

This Anderson guy can play.

[Tom Guycott]

Sigh. Browns being predictable. Hoyer will now get a "last chance", then they'll milk the Johnny Football cash cow into the next season... and the team will still be mediocre. Then, they'll draft the next hot young QB savior the following year, and Manziel will have to look over his shoulder... and that isn't even taking into account the possibility of a new head coach, since they kinda breeze through those as an organization as well.

They squander any talent they get in the position by always getting a young lion to nip at the heels and aquiese to fan wishes for immediate change, instead of just saying "this is our guy- deal with it" and building to the future without creating their own damn drama.

In perspective: Matt Ryan has started for Atlanta since drafted in 08 in the wake of that whole Michael Vick thing. In that same time span, Cleveland has shifted to 11 (well, now 12) different starters. A dozen QBs in six years. Can't build confidence and improve ability in the space of a cup of coffee, and the team can't become "better" overnight. Can't keep their head in the game if they constantly have to fear the next guy coming in to take their job.

And I don't even want to discuss the trainwreck my 49ers have become... tis a dark time for my pro football fandom.

At least my college team beat "that team up north".

[ClockShot]

I don't know where this C.J. Anderson guy came from, but let's keep him around.

Droford's right about the Chefs uniforms. All that red in HD made my eyes hurt.

[Heisenberg]

Alex Smith being a starting QB in the NFL makes my eyes hurt. Too conservative. I want Denver v.s. Green Bay in the SuperBowl

[Triple A]

come on Nick Folk.......

[Helmsphere]

YES The Fins won. Now only a quarter of the season left to screw things up.

[road doggy dogg]

Bills not gonna play in Toronto anymore

[#1-norm-fan]

Alex Smith being a starting QB in the NFL makes my eyes hurt. Too conservative. I want Denver v.s. Green Bay in the SuperBowl

Definitely think it will be Green Bay for the NFC. Feeling New England for the AFC. Green Bay wins.

Yeah, it's not original. I'm not hear to shock anyone. Fuck off.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, I think Dallas will go 11-5 and miss the playoffs.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

10-6 is more likely.

Win Loss Loss Win.

You need a few Seattle Divisional losses in case the 3 way tie continues.

[Innovator]

It's amazing how ESPN and talking heads all talk about how QB play without mentioning the o-line.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I'm having a really hard time seeing Green Bay not representing the NFC, especially if they lock up homefield. Yeah their season ended in Lambeau 2 of the last 3 years but they do seem to be a different team at home...and moreover Rodgers is playing out of his mind right now. He isn't getting sacked every other play as he was the last couple of years. You give Rodgers any sort of time and he's going to find an open receiver like 97% of the time.</font>

[screech]

Haloti Ngata out 4 games for PED. Well, shit

[Droford]

He can at least come back when they make the playoffs unlike the situation with Chris Davis for the same thing with the Orioles. Might actually be a good thing.

[screech]

If they make the playoffs. Basically need to win out now. I can't handle this stress.

[Droford]

I messed around with the playoff machine and theyre pretty much in if they go 3-1 or better. They can even still win the division given that the Bengals still plays Denver and Pittsburgh twice.

[#1-norm-fan]

Droford locking the Ravens into the playoffs. It's a wrap.

[Ruien]

Droford also said the Ravens would win 12 games.

[#1-norm-fan]

Droford says a lot of things.

[screech]

Very nervous about the Miami game. I know they barely beat the Jets, but they also demolished the Chargers. Gdammit

[#1-norm-fan]

10-6 is more likely.

I have a feeling they'll beat Indy or Philly.

[SammyG]

I'mma just leave this right here... ISH YA BOY

You forgot Shoe-in.

[Helmsphere]

I really hope Miami ends up pulling it out this week against Baltimore. I know the Ravens aren't technically a Rival, but the two clubs have so much history, well atleast when it comes to Big Games for Miami.

Miami hasn't beaten the Ravens since my 23 Birthday, which was a somewhat big game for Miami (They defeated the Ravens to win their only game of that Season)

Plus the last two times The Fins have made the Playoffs, They have been kicked out at Home by Baltimore (2000 and 2009)

Miami needs to end that dought against the Ravens. Barring a New England loss, which I don't see happening, This might be the biggest game left on Miami schedule. Of course a Miami win and New England loss would put possible control of the AFC East up for grabs in Foxsboro. Even then, I don't seeing the Patriots dropping 3 in a row. Honestly don't see them dropping any between now and when they ultimately play Denver again in the Playoffs

[road doggy dogg]

Cool, nice to see a Dolphins fan here (for variety) since Spilchuk is MIA... ha ha get it

[road doggy dogg]

(Missing In Action + "MIA" is the abbreviated Miami letters)

[screech]

Look at you making a funny

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Saw a crazy stat today. Only 5 players on the current Packers roster played for other teams. So literally their entire roster beyond those 5 guys were either drafted by the team or signed as undrafted rookies. That's pretty damn impressive.</font>

Hoyer looking really bad right now.

Billy Cundiff. Jesus.

[road doggy dogg]

This week for a "larf" I picked the Bucs +9.5 in our office pool, but even now I feel dirty about it. I really hope Lions win by 20 or more

[Corndad]

Ike Taylor and Mike Mitchell should not be allowed to play Football ever again.

[OssMan]

WAS down 24-0 vs STL Rams in the 4th quarter... will we see R.G. Third

lol Saints. Holy shit.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seems like Carolina beating New Orleans 41-3 with 7 1/2 minutes to go would be a good reason for Drew Brees to not be in the game right now. I dunno...

[Corndad]

Le'veon Bell is a special player. My goodness.
