I really wish I could listen to a podcast of two guys who jokingly put odds on such things occurring and have mentioned Dennis Allen's name countless times.


IF ONLY ............


:'(

On top of that, a pedestrian walkway over the Southfield Fwy collapsed when a truck crashed into it while Stafford was on his way to (I think) practice last week too. It was like 6am or something and he barely stopped in time to avoid getting fucking crushed. Ridiculous week for the Lions. I'll take 3-1 and bizarro injuries over 1-3 though

Actually that's a lie, bizarro injuries suck. At least it wasn't Levy though (though Tulloch is pretty good)

I had to rely on Dameshek to get me through yesterday.

Tony Sparano hired as the interim coach for the Raiders.

FCC dropped their rule regarding blackouts for sports games although at the moment the NFL is refusing to follow.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11...fl-says-change

holy shit, that's huge (the FCC ruling)

could be a sign of good times to come

but did you have to link the ESPN article on the matter? #FreeSimmons

I'm showing up to provide an excuse for how bad the Falcons are about to become. Losing their second defensive leader, as well as two starting linemen, for the majority or all of the season is balls. And the defense is bad, so yeah. Enjoy those Atlanta fantasy points while you can get them.

Still trying to sort out the hierarchy of teams, lot of subtitute property equations to do

Still not sure who to take in the NFC North. I dropped some $$$ on GB to win the SB and their O-line is still fucking awful but last week was encouraging.

Robert Edwards' career shortening injury in a beach football game comes to mind.

Nothing will ever top Zumaya

Also another player facing domestic violence charges this time Titans WR Quincy Enunwa.

The special teams player doesn't hold the weight of a Ray Rice/Adrian Peterson storyline so he can slide through the motions and get over.

Sources predict that we will see a big spike in attacks as opposing teams continue to pay off these women to sabotage player's careers and further improve the stakes towards getting the Lombardi

CJ Spiller assaulted a gaylord

DeAndre Levy defensive player of the month. he's a beast

A fringe special teams player should be a no brainer to cut

Antrel Rolle said that Prince is playing so well this year because he's getting laid

lol that is awesome, do you have a link to that quote

how many texts you think the real CJ Spiller woke up to when ppl misread that story, enough to make the real Spilly spill guts?

<font color=goldenrod>Prince Amukamara has 5 sisters: Princess, Promise, Peace, Precious, and Passionate.</font>

Princess played RB for JV squad. Broke a couple of track records too.

Matt Flynn's first pass of the season is an interception

These Thursday night games have been terrible.

But ratings have been up for them so I guess it doesn't matter lol

People love their football. It seems like Thursday and Monday games have not consisted of two awesome teams or just two decent teams. Always a mix from awesome/decent/terrible teams to make horrible games.

At least they've all been division games, which are usually decent no matter how the teams are. None have been that, though

I think they've all been division games anyway.

Actually read something in Facebook that made sense. Have teams coming off their by play Thursday game. For example, Ari and Den could play this Thursday. At least then we are getting teams on full rest. Then they get another week and a half before their next game.

Yeah I'd be down with that. More often than not, at least one team is super sloppy on the Thursday game and it means we get crap in primetime.

Heard on the radio that the combined score of the Thursday games this year is 205-60. That is awful.

Up compared to what? Last year when it was only on a premium network and now on CBS? Duh.

Broncos cut Matt Prater. It was a "football decision".

WHY?!

Up in the slot for CBS apparently. Perplexing given a "top show" was there last year, but that's what I <s>read</s> skimmed at work today.

Bit surprised the NFL hasn't even considered doing that by now. They already have rules regarding the London and flex games to prevent extra fatigue but haven't bothered with those Thursday games yet.

lol Titans.

lol Lions.

Left one house after the Cowboys game and got to another house to see final scores...

Holy shit, Titans.

Holy shit, Lions.

Also, even with Dallas winning, Tampa Bay just made me feel slightly worse about how good Dallas might be.

LOL Jets

I feel the same way about the Giants right now. The offense has looked mostly good, and the pass rush has been excellent. They've rattled off 3 wins but they were against the shitty Texans, shitty Redskins, and the Falcons who never win on the road.

Back to back road games against Philly and Dallas and then the bye. Pretty sure the Giants need to win at least one of those to stay in contention for the division.

The Falcons were never bad on the road before. Apparently they caught the Saints disease though.

Sankey blew it for the Titans only 27 yards. Need a RB to run when you have the lead.

Tampa Bay is the best road team in that division. That's not good.

Smith out Vick in.

Nevermind that shit, here comes Vick

Aww shit! Michael Vick about to lose some games by slightly less!

Bryan Hoyer is a pretty good quarterback. He just happens to play for the Browns and is not even the most popular quarterback on his team so it's easy to get overlooked. The guy is very solid though.

Bad day to be a member of Gang Green nation. New York newspaper covers tomorrow morning ought to be good.

In other news, Peyton Manning notched touchdown pass #500 today. Joining Brett Favre as the only 2 guys to do it.

Ravens looked awful. really disappointing they got 4 turnovers and couldn't win

4 plays 3 first downs.

QB slide that tackle is illegal fucker.

TAKE THAT YOU FUCKERS! TOUCHDOWN PATS!

I'm watching baseball but rooting for the Patriots. if I root but don't watch I don't feel as dirty.

Brady chants 14-0 Pats.

To anybody who thought it was over :fu:

Come on ref that was nothing you are on the take! Who bought you off?

Don't take their bullshit Pats.

GRONK SPIKE!

REFS CANS SUCK ON IT! YOU CAN'T FLAG THAT!

Defensive Touchdown and you CAN'T FLAG THAT!

What a dirt bag pushing a player diving into the endzone.

EAT SHIT NFL EXPERTS SAYING THE PATS WERE DONE. EAT SHIT AND DIE!

:y: Pats won.

The others being Favre, Peyton Manning, Marino, Brees, and Elway. Needs another 1300+ yards to pass Elway for 5th.

Jesus Christ, STD.

Glad I wasn't in here last night

Browns comeback was cool.

Giants/Eagles. Let's Go

Lion cut kicker Alex Henery and the second one since the season started.

Brandon Browner's suspension is over. Probably will be a week before he plays though.

Cowboys winning the mother fucking Super Bowl!!!

edited for accuracy
unless they you know, choke and finish 8-8 again

I changed my survivor pick from the seahawks to the Saints, may have been a better move than I thought

They can't beat the Seahawks. Next week they will prove that and your "super bowl" thing have serious doubts.

Cowboys will win the superbowl yess. Jones is the best owner in the NFL. Sehawks sucks.

owenbrown that might be your worst post ever

are you sure about that, RDD? the other 14,703 posts prior to that one are pretty bad tbh :-\

the guy that tipped me to taking the Vikings as dogs vs the Falcons has stated that the same situation applies with the Bills at home vs the Patriots. Not only with the coming of the perfect game trend but also the trend of teams playing the following thursday tend to not play well on Sunday. Don't think I'll ever doubt him again if it hits, as the Bills +3.5 vs the Patriots is 10x crazier than the Vikings bet.

The perfect game plus long layoff trend also applies to the packers, as well as the80%+ public trend just like the Vikings. Packers are 3.5 pt road favorites vs the Dolphins and its supposed to be almost 90 in Miami on sunday. Dolphins coming off a bye themselves.

Decided to humor myself and read FB comments on Sports Illustrated post (power rankings, they have SD at the top). A bunch of "they suck" and "who have they beaten?" posts. I was underwhelmed.

I'm not surprised they're up there. Even though they've had an easy schedule, other than Seattle, they've played pretty well.

They don't suck but who have they beaten is valid. They beat the Seahawks at home and then have had joke opponents ever since and now the Raiduhrz.

I don't think Buffalo is really a "joke" opponent. They're not a powerhouse or anything but they definitely aren't a "joke" so far.

Sure they haven't had a winning season since the Clinton administration but yeah. You're right. They aren't a joke. Because they have sucked for 15 seasons and it's not funny anymore.

... So even if they were 5-0 and tearing up the league, they would be a "joke team" because of the past.

Great theory. I guess they're fucked this season either way. Forget that they're leading their division and all that. TOTAL JOKE OPPONENT.

They aren't the Cowboys.

The Cowboys will be a joke team until they win a playoff game again.

... What are you even trying to say anymore?

Oh, I see. You're trying to insult my favorite football team to change the subject from you saying something incredibly dumb. Cool.

Bills are 3-2 so your analogy is flawed.

3-2 with road wins over two pretty decent teams and leading their division...

Pretty sure most would agree that's a fair assessment.

This is idiotic. this isnt 15 seasons ago, this is this season. No other season matters.

Bears are a .500 team from last year. Lions had that game won 3 times if it wasn't for an unforced error on three kicks. Nothing the Bills did.

Losing for that long is psychologically damaging.

Jesus. STD really earning that "baffling posts" thread right now.

to the people who were on the team maybe. thankfully most have RETIRED

They've got like 8 rookies on the active roster. The rest of the team knows how to lose. They'll teach em.

there are a couple of hundred players that have retired from that team in 15 years. I digress, you're clearly trolling.

If they had let Doug Flutie play that playoff game he earned the right to start. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Right, but you still have to play well enough to win. Plus they've had so many injuries already and are still managing. They haven't allowed points in the 4th quarter in their wins, and Rivers is playing great.

EDIT: The Bills are decent so far this year. Gotta Billeve!

Nope. The Bills can't possibly have been decent so far this year because they weren't decent in past years. So even if they are decent, they aren't. Flawless logic.
