not that anyone would've cared particularly if this thread didn't start till tomorrow...

or until 4pm sunday maybe. 1pm games are p gross but pack/vikes and bengals/cards are worth waiting all day for sunday late afternoon/evening

They're doing the weird unis thing again this week, but I'm kind of into these alternate Jags jerseys. Not the whole same-color jerseys/pants combo, but the jerseys would look tight as hell with black or white pants. Plus, there'd be one less turquoise team in the league.

(No comment on the game. I only saw the last 2 minutes before halftime.)

jax 1st and goal on the 5, runs middle 3 times like it's 1994.

allen robinson is having a great game

1) - those unis looked bad enough for the jags but the titans looked like they were at a sleepover
2) - the titans have a tight end named SUPERNAW
3) - that two minute drill by tennessee at the end of the game was the least enthusiastic potential game winning drive ever; they had every chance to get back in the standings and they couldn't even line up reasonably quickly
4) - neither of these teams deserve to be anywhere near the playoffs

pack/vikes and bengals/cards kinda ARE the only shows this weekend huh

I'd like to watch the Bears and Broncos game, but it's not on around here. Might have been different if it was Manning playing QB.

Got to think either way that Fox and Cutler both would like to win that game. I would not be surprised if Fox pulls out some crazy blitzes this week.

um

Why do receivers instinctively pop up, gyrate and make the first down sign after taking a big (or little) hit? They’re communicating in the language of hunters, “I ain’t scared!”

Cam Newton broke tackles, twisted, stretched and bulldozed his way into the end zone on Sunday. He leaped to his feet and let the Titans know the jungle doesn’t scare him.

Do your thang, Cam, but remember no one survives in the jungle forever. Tarzan is fiction. You “dab” a finger, an arm and a leg often enough at a bear, lion and tiger and you’ll eventually lose some body parts. Ask RG3.

don't link to whitlock

yeah, my bad. sorry.

Kaepernick - torn labrum, out for season. nice knowing you.

oh hey welcome back desean jackson

kap gotta be done w the niners, seems like a good reclamation project for a more functional team
tho

the eagles are a very bad team

that is a weird game. car vs was also. both those games are defensive grinds on paper but combined 12 1st half tds.

LOLmo

that was real dumb

Two picks for Carrie Underwood's ex, both of them while under pressure and neither of which needed to be forced.

WELCOME BACK TONE

the first one to Grimes wasn't as funny but it was typical Romo

yeah i know he's terrible right

wtf is Landry doing on that kick return?

now I've seen it all. our punter got whistled for a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.

Whoa, post-game announcement from the Ravens that Flacco tore his ACL and is done for the year.

rip joe flac

how long has it been since baltimore finished w/ a genuinely bad record? curious to see what newsome can do w/ good draft position

07 was the last time they had a sub 500 record (5-11)

ah right, billick's last season

they've had three losing seasons this century, which is more than i thought but still not bad. steelers have only had one losing season this century, pats have only had one* (2000), broncos have only had one, packers have had two.

Lol I remember the Patriots' s one well cos Miami had to beat them in week 17 to win the AFC East.

Broncos I didn't realize.

I kinda picture the Colts comeback against the Falcons in the second half being like the movie "Stripes" with Matt Hasselback as Sgt. Hulka.

"I'm getting too old for this shit."

Next week's Bucs and Colts matchup is actually a playoff tussle with the Bucs 5-5 and just outside the Wild Card in the NFC.

P sure Carson forgot what year it was on that throw

i like how this season only a few teams are hoarding all the wins then there are million others playing .500 fighting for playoffs spots its good imo

i agree, looking over the schedule there were a lot of unappealing looking games but many of them were teams in similar situations jockeying for the playoffs. it's interesting now but in the end there's going to be two or three pretty bad teams wildcard weekend.

noticed i had some kind of rooting interest in nearly every game because of this, although the teams i was pulling for lost except for like 2 games so hoping cards press on here, and of course that by tomorrow that shit is behind me

cards seem better

intersting that the early line for carolina/dallas on thxgiving in EVEN

is not in

bookies loving romo i guess

that does seem insane tho

there is still no respect for the panthers. they have been pretty good for a few years now but i guess it is weird to think of them as a really good team. their good players are not showy is probably another element, it is a pretty headline unfriendly team in that regard outside of cam. and then there is cam himself of course.

teams that just grind get no love, panthers are maybe the best grinding team since like the mcnair titans

imo we dont really need to different between the shotgun and the pistol

I'm into this Panthers team. I'd love to see a Super Bowl 50 with a couple small market teams, though I'm still not convinced the Bengals can seal the deal.

i'm gonna sic some running backs on you for saying that xp

i want the pats and panthers to go undefeated and meet in the sbowl and the 72 dolphins to suicide themselves at halftime during an aerosmith/bieber duet

^ lol yes this!

serve them poisoned champagne

great clock management marv

why did the bengals run that play on 3rd and 2? you can't run and pick up 2 yds and another set of downs?

they got into FG range and had the game and clock under control and swung for the fence 2 out of 3 plays.

terrible
what were they thinking leaving the cards this much time
(definitely rooting for super cardinals here)

that was a pretty insane drive

but yeah def left too much time

wau @ that penalty

its p funny how that worked

always good too see bad coaching punished. altho arians was lucky to get a chance to redeem himself after the lame 3 and out before.

least convincing 7.5 minute scoring drive ever

uhhhh this bills rush

brady gotta be mega pissed off right now

he slammed his helmet down quasi hard not hard enough so it didnt stay on the helmet rack

cmon defense somebody pick one off

What a game....

well the ne wr corps might be in pieces but they are making plays when they get chance

lafell's hands are way better than his reputation would suggest

He was just rusty his first game back

game

beautiful

lol

if they had gone into the half tied rex would have acted like he won the super bowl

Heads up play by white breaking that tackle

wtf at this

what the hell!

penalty flag on the officials

dola should have run it in

this is like that tv commercial with the officials. unbelievable.

Good job refs

Bullshit

grade A making it up as you go along guys

lol @ belichick telling the fans to settle down

wtf at these refs seriously

Must all be 0art of Goodell's secret plan

cost them 20 yards at least

*part

get the fuck out of there, rex

fucking rex! send him to the stands

whistle def happened w ball in the air

refs physically help up brady more than any nfl player in history

Ugh

uh yeah "helping" him by robbing him of a td

i mean they def tried to make up for it and lol w that penalty on rex but the patriots got robbed dont get it twisted

bills td call also a lil sketchy there, change ruling to TD to review it and then rule that the call stands not confirmed. smh. not really material but still.

gronk got cold hands tonite

bills PI offense not quite working out

<3 chandler jones

maybe time to give up some edge on kick returns so that 1 of the 2 healthy wrs doesn't die.

Srsly

put freeney back there, if he gets hurt that might help

correct about the bills td, if they had called down on the 1 onfield and it was challenged that call would have stood.

Amendola's practically carrying this team

there is a ton of room to run after the catch against these defenses

get out rex

have these guys ever officiated a football game

rex is going to show the safety that play over and over, clockwork orange style

http://gif.mocksession.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/TOM-BRADY-FUCK-YOU-BITCHES.gif

omg amendola

oh no amendola is out nooooo

dang how is #61 still in the game

I don't even know

man i hope amendola is ok

pays offense just their practice squad plus brady n gronk

every brady long ball has looked like a pick waiting to happen

i hate this game

tommy gettin rung up

can the pats get a second bye week or something

i support this concept

it really bothers me that steve young, trent dilfer, and ray lewis are referred to as "the fellas"

yeah that was not a first down but thanks for the free timeout you assholes

that was maybe the worst spot i've ever seen

and that's a catch. these guys can't get anything right.

lol they really can't, it has been a bravura showing by the zebras

not a lot of confidence shown by the refs tonight

they seemed confused by the rules of football, yes

Grinder should go to the fans for sticking with it

they should give grinder to the replay official one of these days

jim bob cooter

God this Big Sean is a really limp-dicked version of Meek's "Dreamchasers "

RIP chip

If Chip is fired in Philly, he'll quickly be snapped up by an NCAA school or, if he prefers, become an offensive coordinator elsewhere in the NFL.

lol this line is insane

http://i.imgur.com/pGN8eDU.png

saw it was -2 dallas yesterday iirc

lol romo

home just in time to see romoception pick six <3

well that didn't take long did it

panthers have the best twitter in the league imo

https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/669946271373926401

HAAAAAAAAAAH

thankful 4 romo

#grateful

<3 romo

omfg

simms romo apologetics throughout all of this are making it even better

none of the teams on the rest of carolina's schedule is playing well right now. they really could 16-0.

praying so hard for an undefeated superbowl matchup

http://i.imgur.com/GjTR1.jpg

praying for pats to still have 45 healthy players by the time the playoffs come round

somehow weird that it is only halftime. plenty of time for more pick 6s

halftime show should be cole beasley doing a spin doctors medley

shake it for my squirrels

country squirrel

killer cam

that celebration, cam has moves. also v much enjoying the cowboys trouncing. this is usually the football game i watch for the yr and it is always nice to see the boys lose

my understanding of the promos of this game is that brett favre is in star wars

if we get an undefeated superbowl matchup i'm going to feel so bad about rooting against carolina

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUx1gbpUAAApalv.jpg

yeah that's gonna be hard. one the one hand i'm a falcons fan and fuck the panthers, on the other hand i'm having a hard time grasping the hilarity of the pats having gone undefeated twice only to lose in the super bowl

<3 jay cutler looking disgusted w turkey + postgame interview

anyway happy thanksgiving ilnfl

http://i.imgur.com/E72WoUd.gif

I'm already seeing Cowboys fan talk that they should talk to Cleveland and try to get Manziel. I really want this to happen. I'm sure ESPN will have 24x7x365 coverage on the issue.

lol i have also seen 'who care about tmz bs??? HE CAN PLAY THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!' manziel truthers, dude really was the second coming of tim tebow

i watch buffalo bills three weeks running ~_~

i want to root for them but their coach is hitlor

bortles throws the ball from fully 3 yards beyond the LOS, stupidest play i have seen in a while.

i want to root for them but their coach is hitlor

idgi when people hate on rex for non-football reasons. imo we need more loudmouth lunatics rather than people who treat this hideous game like a noble pursuit

dolphins 0-17 and counting on third down vs the jets this year

sammy watkins going nuts

metro slothrop want some more (slothroprhymes)

hes just repulsive to behold

Miami's backup center can't snap for shit. They're all hitting knee level or lower

really don't understand how suh has been that ineffectual for them, even with the jets' line strong as it is he should be able to sack the shit out of fitz at least once

Idk I think he's been fine, just hasn't racked up a sack.

sammy watkins going nuts

158 yds 2td 1st half

Aight peace out Fins game

how the hell is what cromartie just did not a pick lol

ftr rex is a narcissistic baby who is bad at his job, and i like people who are good at things.

i like ppl that r bad at things but rex so gross hes like a grosser chris christie

lol such intense hate! which, y'all being pats fans, is totally fine

in other news, that based ivory run was beautiful

rex ryan is actually very gross this is true observable reality

he also missed making a key challenge on 3rd down then challenged the spot on 4th down and lost and the game was over lol

lol steelers snap the ball faster after you break out yr trick play formation

It seems pretty obvious that Matt Hasselbeck can still play some QB. Kind of surprising that some of the clubs with the total black hole at QB let this guy just be a backup for the past couple years.

Xpost lol that was hilarious

the officiating crew in the niners game straight up lost track of the downs earlier.

way back in the day i thought rex was being smart by making crazy statements, taking the heat off his team by drawing media attention to himself

but actually it's just that he's a blowhard bro who doesn't seem very good at being a head coach. and lol at how belichick is rex's great white whale when belichick is all like 'whatever, he's just some guy we beat twice a year'

rexs thirst for belichick is extremely hilarious

how he cant conceal it at all

he's obsessed, it's actually unhealthy.

uh does it make sense to go for two up two doesnt seem like it

phil simms doesnt understand the intentional grounding rule even after the refs explain

weird that he didn't get it even after they talked about it

washington is now in first place in the nfc east
with a record of 5-6
hail?

very strongly rooting for a losing team in the playoffs

i'm just rooting for the football giants not to go to the playoffs so there's no way the pats play them again

i kind of want the pats to go undefeated and play them i will regret saying this

need vengeance

https://twitter.com/NFLFrance/status/671118989377085442

yeah i heard that the pats were rooting for giants to win that title game vs san fran in 2011 for this reason and uh..

Jimmy graham carted off w knee injury

good god the steelers coverage sucks

jeez look at that pathetic tackling

lol @ Eli Man Penguin Boy

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--pOBceDLW--/c_fit,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/ysb3tkpjwddnaes72gqg.gif

wow wolfe fucked up that double team for the sack, v nice

jimmy graham done for season

not sure how the seahawks will replace his slightly above average production

talib is a lil over pumped for this one, i think rex has gotten to him

yeahhhhh defense

Brady looks like he's fishing for an INT

yeah he throws one of those every game seems like. had to keep trying since they didn't pick off the first?

pats logo peeling off malcom brown's helmet

never seen that before

NE has apparently decided 14 points is enough. offensive gameplan seems to be to run the clock down at this point.

that was a great punt

I guess the plan is working

gotta say, i did not think that brandon bolden, receiver, would be the key to this game

lol

i guess it is a bad conditions kind of approach, not trying to force anything with the lead and the defense is giving them the luxury of choosing their moments

denver 3 of 3 on fumble recoveries. getting all the marginal calls too.

guys might want to cover cj anderson

It's kinda wild how many yards Rofflesburger has put up in the past couple years. It's weird to think about the Steelers being this totally pass happy club, they go air now, no riding the bus now.

seriously...

what a joke of a call

that is a ridiculous call there

just keep hitting osweiler i guess

collinsworth going full phil simms narrating the obvious garbage call in detail as if it made any sense.

he's such a useless equivocator

ouch

uh oh better flag gronk for catching a pass

of course

oh no
nooooooo

charley horse right?

that doesn't look good

i hate this game

SIGH

what the f

ok we can just let denver win it's fine

yessss

ok brady you have.. about a minute.. no receivers.. uh..

what the heck happened to the clock there

game truly being stolen from the pats this is objectively hilarious

do not want any more of this game

that's a good kick

fuck it, i want collinsworth to have to call new england winning this game

Gostkowski refuses to put us out of our mosery

A rick moser pun

ugh totally forgot hightower got hurt too. didn't seem too serious since i guess he's been siting around on the sideline but still

about that tackling cj anderson thing

man the old-school kubiak stretch plays really killed them tonight

i guess without collins and high on the field that makes sense

that was a running back performance for the ages

am i wrong or would the broncos have had zero chance to win that game with peyton at qb

peyton wouldn't have been able to throw the ball more than 6 yards past the line of scrimmage

xp it was.....narrowly on top for the best rb performance this week?

am i wrong or would the broncos have had zero chance to win that game with peyton at qb

not wrong at all, osweiler is looking like a decent system guy

Lol @ brock's "60 minute game" comment

rumors in twitteronia so far that gronk's injury is not that bad

he seemed okay and like he had panicked a bit even as he was getting onto the cart

def possible it was just a nasty knee whack w/ no structural damage.

schefter tweeted that his source says doesn't seem to be serious

maybe he did panic b/c it was the same knee he tore the acl a couple years ago

seemed confused that cart was not a party ship

congrats to the refs great win

yah good win...REFS!

its gonna be fun to watch the Broncos get smoked in the 1st round cuz they stuck with Peyton

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVFzJQ3UAAAUkBA.jpg

sure, why not

hey another reason to watch football on tv which is a much better product anyway

thread idea: stupid, evil or both? could be a game show idea even.

i've felt this season more than ever that it's inevitable that we will see someone die on the field from a catastrophic injury but this idea might hasten the process

aw yes, when the inevitable suicide bomber attacks the stadium, a buncha cowboys with .45s are gonna make it stop with their slick shootin'

(not really inevitable, meant to add air quotes)

The rotating cast of characters Norman adopts each week also includes William Wallace from “Braveheart.” But none of those acts is more involved than his turn as Batman. He decided to embody the Dark Knight before a night game against the Indianapolis Colts after comparing a rainy Charlotte night to Gotham City. Norman said he had to “save a couple of people.” The Panthers won in overtime. “It was dark. It was rainy. It was misty. You had to come out of there and hit, fly around. You got a couple of bad guys out there you’re defending,” Norman told reporters.

lol whatever works

what an awesome nerd

pretty entertaining article on the Browns' latest loss

http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/cleveland-browns-lose-ravens-blocked-field-goal/

Actually, we want to start at 56 seconds; that’s when Baltimore’s Matt Schaub made the first colossal blunder. He’s so good at making colossal blunders that I’m mildly surprised he is not currently the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano admitted Monday that Frank Gore is "beat to crap."

GORE - Questionable (Beat to Crap)

somebody start a week 13 thread ffs

could just go back to the week 8 thread for old time's sake

Your favorite team is 6 and 5 - Week 13 NFL 2015 / 2016

bump for thread title

Its still a cruddy game in a down NFL season.
