Oh no...we're definitely taking this. It's the time of the season for false hope and shittier draft positions.

Woo?

All in on Pittsburgh reclaiming the third spot and moving cincy to the fourth place schedule next year.

He wouldn’t be able to do this with a broken fibula tbh.

Fucking Peacock. I got home at 10:30, planned on watching the game from the beginning, but no, they only let you watch it live. Fucking horrible. They let you do that for EPL. And they don’t show you key plays.

How did they overturn Shakir’s TD. His knee was up before he was touched, so how do they overturn the call? Bullshit. I need those points for Allen, plus the 2 point try.

His knee wasn’t up before he was touched, but that’s a perfect example of how screwed up the rules are, cuz if the defender simply trucks him into next week, he would’ve faced a suspension.

Legit looked like he gave up on the play because he hesitates to get up because he thought he be touched immediately. So...I wasn't that mad at the overturn.

Wonderful little 2nd and 40 going into the half for the Jets there because Trevor Siemian just kept running backward and couldn't get the ball back to the line of scrimmage when throwing it out of bounds.

This Dolphins/Cowboys game needs more snow.

(Stupid unavailable link, but whatever.)

I cannot tell you how happy that play made me. Between my peak Cowboy hatred and during one of the worst parts of my charmed life, it meant a lot.

I'm gunna need Chad Ryland's address so I can send him a Christmas panettone for understanding exactly what present I want this holiday season.

Lions have won 11 games for only the 4th time in their 93-year history.

Situations like the Cowboys found themselves in I almost think your best play is to send all out blitzes on the first couple of plays. If you get torched for a TD then whatever, max time back. If you get a sack or other play for a loss, or a turnover, then even better. But to just play defense as normal when they have three and a half minutes and based off their kicker already showing you 60 yards is in range, they only need 32 yards.

Nevermind. No panettone for Chad.

Fuckin' A.

Tis the season for giving

I always thought the silver numbers looked great.

Why did KC take the punt team off and bring the offense back on?

Does Pacheco just not want to button his chin strap? His helmet has fallen off a couple times now and he just got a knee to the head.

JFC the medical table collapsed under him too!

It turned into slapstick at one point.

Raiders did not complete a pass in the last 3 quarters and won fairly easily. They would be in the mix if they hadn't lost that stupid 3-0 game

That is an incredible stat.

That delay of game penalty to stop the clock at the end of the half was a bullshit call.

Hurts deserved to have the half run out for his idiocy.

That and the false start call on the Giants center on 4th and 4 with Jalen Carter knifing through just now are both really suspect.

That was awful.

MIL: god I hate Lamar Jackson

Me finally not letting it go: why? What exactly did Lamar Jackson do to make you “hate” him

MIL: I dunno, he’s just cocky.

(That means he’s black and not on the Cowboys)

If my guys don’t do it I’m rooting for the Ravens to win it, just to piss off the maximum number of MAGA-shitheads.

(I’m not suggesting Giff’s MIL is a MAGA-shithead.)

She is.

So there’s this guy who sells bootleg swag around Center City Philly or the Sportsplex on game days when all the local teams play at home. His sales pitch is pretty simple yet effective: “The [insert team] are playing like shit.”

He’s probably going to make bank tonight.

That’s more fuckin’ like it.

What the actual fuck?

GTFO with this Purdy for MVP nonsense.

Oh, the MVP is playing QB in this game.

If Miami wins in Baltimore, it’s Tua’s.

Agreed. Darnold doesn't look that awful quarterbacking this team at the moment.

Edit:

Darnold immediately starts looking that awful as I make this post.

My wife's best friend is from money, but she tries very hard not to be a MAGA weirdo. Like, she really tries.

But she started in on this same nonsense the other night and she called called out by some of the kids (it was this new blend where the parents and kids can all legally drink). It was hilarious. I love her, but she has these moments where her upbringing and her rich conservative friend groups sneak in.

It’s worth it to point out that if the Ravens with their last two with Jackson, he’ll be only the fifth QB with multiple 14+ win seasons, along with Montana, Manning, Mahomes, and Brady.

It all means nothing without a Lombardi.

Wow, that's surprising. Of course, they added a game a few years ago. And added more many years ago.

Of course, prior to 1978, the NFL only played 14 regular season games per year.
