Best thread title ever

The purpose of the Thanksgiving Day games are to give small market teams national exposure, right? Why the fuck does DALLAS still get a game at this point in time? In the '60s, sure. Now? They're on every other fucking week! How about giving Cleveland or Buffalo a Thanksgiving Day game every year instead!

are you drunk? i'm not advocating for dallas, but advocating for buffalo is insanity.

99-61 on the season (yay!) 13-3 last week (yay!)

New England at Detroit NE

San Diego at Indianapolis IND

San Francisco at Arizona AN ABORTION, MICHAEL. SF

are you drunk? i'm not advocating for dallas, but advocating for buffalo is insanity.

Well, it doesn't have to be Buffalo. Just that the purpose of the T-DAY game is to give a little team a big stage, which Dallas clearly doesn't need anymore (and hasn't for decades).

I am probably too prone to just being like "OK that tradition exists, whatever", but I have been operating under the assumption that Thanksgiving always includes the Lions and the Cowboys because that has always (since I began watching NFL = always) been the case. It is like how New Hampshire and Iowa get to participate in the primaries/caucuses first because NH and Iowa participate first.

The third game I interpret as NFL Network's way of throwing a bone to people who need extra cover from awkward family gatherings and for that I appreciate them. Although I use the 3rd NFL game on Thanksgiving less than I use the 4th and 5th NBA games on Christmas.

there's a 5th game on christmas? christ, guys

Yeah, the past couple years that has been like a random Trail Blazers game on at the very end of the night and I have watched it half-heartedly while wondering why everyone got all passive-aggressive again, it's been pretty clutch.

Oooh this year it is Blazers vs Warriors!

that sounds like a thing that could happen!

12-4 last week (woo!), 89-71 on the season (eh...)

San Francisco at Arizona - 49ERS

Last week 13-3, for the year 102-58

New England at Detroit- It would be cool if the Lions would not off these plotzes, but it won't happen so gimme NE.
New Orleans at Dallas- Saints can play down to their competition, so I almost want to take Dallas, but I'll go safe and take New Orleans.
Cincinnati at New York Jets- Again, it would be nice for the Bengals to get their sXXX together and have a decent game, but you have to take the Jets on results. Mike Brown is rolling up nickels in his office to get ready for a bonus payment for the new Bengals head coach, which he will probably get out of the CFL.

Green Bay at Atlanta- Wow this is kind of a tough one and a decently big game for both teams. I'll take the Falcons at home, as they generally play a bit better there, but would easily believe the Pack getting a win.
Pittsburgh at Buffalo- Steelers should win, but I wouldn't mind Buffalo knocking them off.
Carolina at Cleveland- Browns should win even having to go by Jake the Mistake by the Lake at QB, but they let a couple slip through their fingers in the past couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see how Cleveland does from here out, as they have a few easier opponants for the next three weeks that the club which beat NE and the Saints should be able to handle. In that, I almost say for Mangini and the development for next season (if there is one), it is an important stretch.
Jacksonville at New York Giants- Giants are really banged up and J-ville has been finding ways to win. I'll take NY but don't feel solid at all.
Minnesota at Washington- What a matchup...do you think Favre and Donovan will meet at midfield and ask each other how their season has gone? Criminy I have no idea who will win...give me the Vikings in an upset (sic).
Tennessee at Houston- Both of the clubs looked pretty kick ass after week 4 or 5 and like turds now. Houston's defense is terrible, but they should win going against a third string backup named Rusty.
Miami at Oakland- Oaktown's offense looked horrible against the Steelers. This shoudl be a fugly one. I'll take the Raiders at home I guess.
Kansas City at Seattle- KC needs to win this one and I'll pick them to do so, but Seattle is a trap town and has been one for a long time.
Philadelphia at Chicago- I want to take the Bears, but common sense says go with the Eagles. Either way I win...I'd believe that the Bears defense can keep Vick in check (heck the Giants didn't do too bad a job), but I got to think the Eagles are going to blitz like it was 1939 onto http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG probably sacking him a half dozen times.
St. Louis at Denver- Rams seem improved, but taking them on a road is a dicey proposition still/ The Broncos defense kind of blows and this club plays kind of stupid. I can't do it, give me Denver at home. I still think that McDaniels won't work as a head coach (at least not in Denver).
Tampa Bay at Baltimore- I'm taking the Ravens but if the Bucs knock them off, I'll be impressed.
San Diego at Indianapolis- Chargers to win, they are rushing the passer well and have given Indy fits more than a couple of times.

San Francisco at Arizona - I like football, but you would have to pony up some cash and some beers to make me watch this one. Who knows...49ers why not.

Is Jay http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG the new hatcat????

Awesome!

It's like football hot potato hatcat

jet blue is grounded as fuck -- had 2 sign michael clayton off the omaha nighthawks

jesus, they're stealing Jeff Garcia's main guy. what dicks.

13-3 last week, 96-63 on the season.

New England at Detroit - pats but more like a 30-21 win than a 45-3 win like it would have been 3 years ago
New Orleans at Dallas - i can't see the cowboys winning despite the whole "watch out, they're prepared now" meme
Cincinnati at New York Jets - jets and their mojo meet the bengals and theirs, which leads to jets win
Green Bay at Atlanta - this game is gonna be awesome~ going with the falcons based on homefield advantage
Pittsburgh at Buffalo - steelers
Carolina at Cleveland - browns
Jacksonville at New York Giants - giants, i guess? jacksonville isn't bad but not 6-4 good...
Minnesota at Washington - sheesh, washington i guess? i find it hard to believe that frazier can fix favre in a week.
Tennessee at Houston - titans
Miami at Oakland - raiders
Kansas City at Seattle - KC
Philadelphia at Chicago - i have always taken the bears and am tempted to do so here, but i'm not sure they can stop the eagles O
St. Louis at Denver - broncos
Tampa Bay at Baltimore - ravens
San Diego at Indianapolis - chargers
San Francisco at Arizona - arizona

I read this little-known obscure website called Yahoo.com sometimes that featured this graphic that makes one think.

The dudes at Fox and CBS on-line kind of suck picking games.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Weekly-expert-NFL-picks

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks

ESPN guys seem to be a bit better. Jaws is pretty tough, especially since he doesn't pick the game he calls.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks

I have to wonder if my record this year would be better by just picking the favorite in every game. Trying to isolate upsets this year is weird, because there are 3 or 4 every week, but usually not the ones I guessed about.

I think pundits get caught up in culture of boom and not your record is what you are.

11-5 last wk, 95-65 overall

New England at Detroit - pats, not close
New Orleans at Dallas - nawlins

Tampa Bay at Baltimore - ravens
San Diego at Indianapolis - colts
San Francisco at Arizona - arizona

Just saw Steve Johnson interviewed by J.A. Adande on Rome Is Burning and I've decided I love that dude. Poor Bills, for real. Fitzpatrick and Johnson are probably my favorite qb/receiver combo right now. I hope they only tweak the formula in the right ways during the off season instead of completely revamping it. The Bills are knockin' on the door right now.

And it only took until Week 12 for me to hear someone say "The Bills are knockin' on the door right now."

I've been saying that since about week 4, or whenever it was that Fitz came in as qb.

lol Trent Edwards

"Change is gonna come, I can feel it."

Nobody circles the wagons like

*giving thanks for football*

me too. praying the Lions keep it competitive

patriots having trouble with the elusive shaun hill

I am thankful for the bountiful lols & wtfs that football provides each and every Sunday (Monday, and Thursday)

Also go Lions!

detroit moving the ball okay but they can't rely on hill rushing every drive. i would be worried about this game except that the cleveland loss is too fresh. they will pull it together. brady looking mostly like a QB again.

what?

que?

there has obviously been a league memo about chop blocks recently because they are getting called in every game i watch.

yeah they are calling it a lot

lions pash rush pretty ferocious.

patriots having trouble with the elusive shaun hill vicious lions pass rush

hahah

so...maybe that cleveland loss wasn't recent enough after all

not a fumble

I'm just glad this game isn't a blow-out

i had no idea the pats were only dressing 4 d-linemen for this game

Windows phone's whole agenda was "spend less time on the phone", then they release a commercial featuring a guy who isn't even paying attention to his sky dive, because he's so busy uploading pics to Facebook.

fuck you brandon tate

yeah, that was pitiful

shit. I'm getting in my picks late. Just so I won't miss a game, I'll call it for the pats.

New England at Detroit - pats
New Orleans at Dallas - Saints
Cincinnati at New York Jets - ugh, really? Jets again.
Green Bay at Atlanta - please packers please.
Pittsburgh at Buffalo - Pitt
Carolina at Cleveland - Browns
Jacksonville at New York Giants - Giants
Minnesota at Washington - Skins
Tennessee at Houston - Houston
Miami at Oakland - Raiders (this is my favorite matchup uniform-wise)
Kansas City at Seattle - chiefs
Philadelphia at Chicago - Iggles
St. Louis at Denver - Rams
Tampa Bay at Baltimore - hmmmm, maybe TB?
San Diego at Indianapolis - Colts
San Francisco at Arizona - Cards

ohh nice. never pass new england. just keep doing that.

lions kick teams working well. they seem to be getting about a 10-15 yard advantage over where they are making that pats start.

I now officially like both Lions QBs

lions pass protection is pretty good as well. these guys losing all those close games are like the anti-jets.

"special halftime performance by kid rock"

*click*

wait, was kid rock singing 'born free' because this is the lions?? please say that wasn't a coincidence.

kid rock followed by the rock. they plan this shit you know.

mccourty with the INT.. and that was vs megatron, wasn't it?

WELKAH

i hate u welker

happy thanksgiving, guys!

i think ilnfl should get all dressed up, sit together awkwardly in front of a white background, and record a video for the rest of ilx wishing them a happy thanksgiving.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EFDPYcLd2bQ/SOrouf76xzI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ALSbLH_Mmew/s400/mag_wes_welker_02.jpg

wes sez: happy thanksgiving horseshoe!

haha he's an intense-looking dude

amazing!

hill is a real gambler. he will definitely win and lose games on his own. makes for good watching.

can't believe peyty has 13 seasons with 20+ TD passes. is that every season as starter?

ne tackling is not good enough at all.

oh nice

http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3838/happythanksgivingwilfor.jpg

big vince and family say happy thanksgiving, guys!

oh damn. eat it.

welp

awesome

vince wilforks kids are so cuet

haha need a gif of "what the fuck happened"

ALPHONSO SMITH

that play just got me 23 pts in fantasy

okay that was some hilarious tackling

who is this dude returning kicks for detroit, who can't be tackled until about 5 pats get to him?
CMON MAN

they're having a hard time stopping the pass too, jim

who is 96 for pats??? make a play man!

guyton?

cunningham? he's a rookie i think

cunningham apparently. no effort to catch that ball.

that was no good imo

yep. rookie, second round, u of florida. pats d is super young.

wish they would send phil simms to a warzone

GRONK

lions d got figured out i guess. maybe pats were videotaping signals in the 1s half.

http://images.dailyme.com/assets/2009072800000036.jpg

http://edread.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/84.jpg?w=256&h=285

happy thanksgiving from the minnesota vikings!

hell yes

rip alphonso smith

even if the Pats rip this one open, this game exceeded my expectations. Thought I was going to be playing video games by the end of the 1st quarter.

wrs starting to kill hill

i was about to say nice work by both teams for not having penalties hold things up, but since then.. about 4 flags

That story about Tom Brady's childhood Thanksgiving football trophy made it seem like Jim Nantz has been stalking Tom Brady obsessively.

lol

belichick's dad played for the lions? it's so weird hearing stories about earlier days of pro sports. "he was brought to detroit as the equipment manager and then promoted to the active roster"!

welp

lions shd promote a current equip manager 2 play on this dfense imo

now's the time that the pats switch to "prevent defense," which they use for the purposes of letting the other team get close enough to make the end of the game interesting.

of course, redskins just signed a safety who was last playing in.. a flag football league in northern virginia

it is weird that detroit started so well and are finishing so badly. i like schwartz tho, i think he will be successful. and they will get a 2011 draft pick higher than they deserve so things maybe finally looking up for the lions.

wait, the redskins did what now? is that true?

yes it's true! i mean, it's more like one of those anecdotes that sportswriters write about because how many guys are currently out of the league but keeping in shape and hoping to get signed? a lot.

wait out of bounds for a catch. just exceptional play pettigrew.

Oh, Lionspaws.

MCCOURTY

and so many pats fans were like 'why you draft a cb 1st round'

he looked fast as hell

btw i bet against the lions every t-giving its $ in the bank

they were making a game of it until about the end of the third, tbh.

um brady you're up by 2 scores maybe don't run into the detroit defensive line any more?

lions. CMON MAN.

lol that its the guy they just showed the family profile of

Patriots and Lions celebrating the spirit of needless Thanksgiving squabbles.

hahaha

This kickoff is going to be from the Red Zone, basically.

so the lions coach basically pulled an all-nighter and drank some four lokos before this game, is what they're saying?

Good LORD that hit.

this delivery of trophies via actual military helicopter makes me literally embarrassed to be american

I dunno, during the holiday season we should be supporting our brave men and women in uniform who are defending America's freedoms by delivering a decorative iron to Tom Brady.

Megatron vs the Prevent Defense seems like it should be more like that last play.

this adrian peterson commercial weirds me out

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3789/megatronhaters.gif

So turn. Bummed about the death of one of my fav musicians (sleazy) but loving the hell out of this total domination of the cowboys by my boys.

looking forward to this week's anatomy lesson

this seems like a good game to be napping thru

omg, shit's going haywire.

no kidding. really stressin me out.

this game

whatte the fucque

braekin' my heart. half of Brees' interceptions this season have been off the hands of his receivers.

hey, roy williams still plays football.

wow. score in 2 plays, roy williams and marion barber. in 2010.

go Cowboys imo

tsk

Don't think i've ever hated the cowboys as much as I do now.

my compulsion to root for the upset is conflicting with my hatred for the Cowboys

this could be big

is ball retention not something they bother with in Dallas? that is three times the balls has come out in, what, seven plays?

this is crazy

BIG MEACH

YESSSS!!! Now come on D!

that was a great quarter of football.

Lord jesus, I have to wake up in 4 hours to go to work and my veins are full of adrenaline.

on vacation but popping in to say lol at the cowboys

roy williams is thxgiving's hatcat

So turn. Bummed about the death of one of my fav musicians (sleazy) but loving the hell out of this total domination of the cowboys by my boys.
--Fetchboy

omg- had no idea until just now. RIP sleazy...

hey guys! fun games today

we were all pretty absorbed by the end of the cowboys game

this game is punishing to watch.

carson's arm is just shot

what even...that is the wost throw of all time.

a poor throw into triple coverage. just inexplicable.

wanting the bengals to win takes all of the fun out of watching the bengals imo

if i was marv i would get the tape of that play an burn it to dvd, write GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY TEAM on it in magic marker and fedex it to palmer's house, delivery guaranteed before 10am tomorrow.

man remember earlier today when you could watch competent offensive teams

actually i don't remember that. my only football memory is that throw. everything else has gone.

what even...that is the wost throw of all time.

― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, November 25, 2010 8:26 PM (12 minutes ago) Bookmark

i was describing this to my friend as "if i was in the nfl and someone had told me to throw that pass"

don't worry, the bengals will f this up

can't overturn that

they better not

millen and theisman are like a couple of drunken uncles

Haven't seen too many NFL Network games before, but judging from tonight, I can safely say I've heard better announcers on Jefferson Pilot.

what is that

wooooooooooooooooooooo

so, the new york jets. best team in the nfl, yes?

lol

Xp

Rinky-dink regional carrier of SEC football, infamous for 11:30 am kickoffs (too damn early for CST.)

I think they started broadcasting in color some time in the late 90s.

jets should just play their 2min offense all game

hey wtg marv!

marvy ice

oh geez

wow, so i didn't miss much huh? how are jets 8-2

d'oh

oh man, if only that robin --> batman trick play had worked

oh my god, BENGALS. horrible.

how can you not make that kick? it makes no sense

i mean i know you're a kicker for the bengals, but C'MON MAN

you might want to save the CMON MAN for THAT play

F*** YOU BENGALS HOW YOU GONNA LET THE JETS GO 9-2

what??

bengals: they just don't care

stfu theismann you are a retarded person

how was that not a safety?

they called him in the grasp at like the 2

what a goofy game

lol, and jets halfway blocked their own punt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uK1ohDvDog

^^^ 09 preseason

love that

this game def needed a safety

i wish i could unwatch this game

i'm trying to drink enough whiskey to do just that

i've also been reading wikipedia articles about notable american military personnel for the last two hours

watch this instead: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-films-sound-efx/09000d5d81c62df7/Sound-FX-Bill-Belichick-miked

i've been looking at designer clothes on sale & listening to coil via the youtubes

penalty flag on this game. i hate the jets

carson gotta goooooooo

yeah i feel bad, carson is a pro's pro and deserved a better career, but he's been consistently awful this year

i watched that belichick miked up a bit earlier
his accent is interesting! he's from annapolis but.. sounds like a bit of those older maryland accents you don't hear much any more, plus some new england maybe. you can hear it when he's yelling.

it tells me it's no longer available...i'll try it tomorrow on another comp

it works, i think the site is just weird - i paused the video and went back to the screen and got that message (no longer available), then refreshed the page and it was fine

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/1125/nfl_g_jenkins_b2_576.jpg

"no, no, don't be scared...just give me the ball...it's cool."

"I'm the interception fairy"

"But in my most trying times, why was there only one pair of footprints on the football field?"

So the Broncos filmed the Niners practice for YouTube lols, right? If not, then um...why?

i love how the broncos are trying to paint this like they had a rogue photographer out there filming practices and josh mcdaniels was all "oh don't give me this tape!! what is this tape!! no, i don't want this!!"

they should make the fourth bourne movie about him hunting down the broncos rogue photographer who may still be lost in wembley stadium OR SOMEWHERE ELSE IN EUROPE

Haha that would be awesome

Maybe they buried him under Wembley, like Hoffa under Giants stadium...

nfl red zone just showed aaron rodgers + matt ryan being dreamy, chatting

touchdown, washington redskins!

can't remember the last time i've seen the skins offense put together a drive like that. nice

huge break on that nyg challenge

Photos of Rogers + Ryan being dream, chatting?

Go redskins!

Tailgating at Raiders Fins game. Honestly don't care how the game goes, why bc it's not raining yayayay!

cmon favre, throw it to D HALL

Giants look really terrible.

london fletcher.. with excellent pass coverage on schiancoe. 40 yards downfield. nice

Veg, what's a good cheap place to sit in the Coliseum? Was thinking about trying to get tickets for a game since they never sell out at home.

Should I take a nap in order to stay up for the Colts game tonight or should I just not bother?

napping is always the right move tbh

hillis is a goddamn wrecking ball

garrard is playin p awesome

garrard totally grabbed justin tucks dick

hey peyton hillis

c'mon Browns

Rockapads, hard to say bc we've been on 1/2 season package for so long, but section 146, 147, 148 around the 50 yard line in the 'new' stands is alright. I dunno abt cheap. Cheapest is prolly Al's peak but that's hella high up

starting to think rusty smith is not the answer for the titans

chris johnson 4 att -2 yds

so one hasta wonder why jaxonville has gone uber-pass aggressive to begin the second half when they have a lead and the giants havent proven one iota that they can stop the run, also after garrard has thrown one pick and almost thrown two more

If you had Chris Johnson, why would you give the ball to any other RB?

Why does FantasyCast say that the last play in the Steelers game was a Ben Roethlisberger touchback punt??

spidermark otm

jake delhomme

dammit santana moss. baaaaaad luck

Jake Delhomme pass intercepted by Captain Munnerlyn, returned 37 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

Captain Munnerlyn?

jake! how is he doing? <3

oh. well then.

lol

lol at Captain

oh jake

wait what happened to colt mccoy

this sure is a shit year for qbs, especially after last year's qb renaissance. idk the nfl seems to have these 'sorbet' seasons every 4 years or so

colt was eaten by a lion. sad imo

right there on the field, never saw it coming

i guess the answer to the question: can chris johnson win a football game all by himself is... no.

k MIGHT WANNA SPY A LINEBACKER AT GARRARD

f*** it, he's goin deep! go mcnabb

(meanwhile, clueless announcers: "armstrong celebrating in the endzone." you mean.. the 25?)

boy i betcha those giants are thinking of those red zone whiffs where they settled for 3 and sighing heavily right now

STEELERS FUMBLE OMG IF THE BILLS BEAT THE PITTSBURGH RAPISTS I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW

bills = argument for bringing relegation to NFL

bills are immune from criticism while wearing throwbacks

i hated the Bills when i was living in upstate NY in the early 90s, but for some reason i love them now and root for them every game. if they wore the throwbacks every week, they might become my main team.

needed a TD from one of those last red zone positions imo

haha now that i live in western new york i find myself disgusted with the bills more frequently. easier to be a fan when you don't have to live here, i think

no matter who wins this jags-giants game, it's clear neither team is going far if either make the postseason. then again this is the type of year a patchwork team like this might get lucky. ugh.

chris canty stomp dance .gif pls

welp

oh nm holding yay!

stroud sacked roethlisberger <3 <3 <3

AARON RODGERS

PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK

I can't figure out who I'm rooting for in the GB game.

What are the chances Jeff Fisher asks Vince Young to play again? No possible way he could've made the Titans worse today.

just saw the finnegan fight, good stuff - reminds me of when deion and andre rison fought

wow, steelers are desperate to give buffalo another shot with some time on the clock.

Ugliest Browns win EVER

yessss Forte

oh well

aww, bills. :(

:(

add to the list of college formations in the nfl: the raiders just lined up in the pistol, w/ mcfadden at qb

If McFadden was qb, who'd he hand it off to?

the dolphins called a time out before the play went off

altho it looked like he was gonna hand or fake it to johnny lee higgins

who was lined up next to him (assume bush was behind him)

lol they just ran the play -- it was a read play, mcfadden hands it to the fullback who promptly gets hit and fumbles

haha

Talib just had the most beautiful pick on Flacco

Jacoby Ford, y'all.

lot of sacks this iggles/bears game

is the bears defense really that good, or is the iggles o-line just really bad?

davone bess has been unstoppable

the bears D is #1 in the nfl

like, it's great vick is able to get first downs despite a totally permeable o-line, but it's ridiculous that there's a guy running directly at him every single play

Right on cue

Xpost

I'm not so surprised that Iggles O is having trouble with the Bears D, but I'm really shocked that Bears O seems to be running all over the Iggles D.

Raheem Morris is getting pissed offfffff

After the Andre Johnson-Cortland Finnegan thing today there is a part of me that has been thinking "Oh man this might get out of hand" every time somebody on the field is mad at someone else on the field. Although I guess Raheem Morris is probably smart enough to not throw down on an official.

holy

Bears O actually looks good today

is the bears defense really that good, or is the iggles o-line just really bad?

both

eagles D lookin like asss

this is getting hard to watch

I wish I was watching it sounds absolutely delicious

basically now when the eagles play i want to see vick do like he did v redskins and am fated disappointment

warned you guys not to try and curse http://i54.tinypic.com/1j14s2.jpg with that hatcat, now he's punishing you for your hubris

fuckin hipsters

i can only imagine that asante samuel in this game could make a difference on D

hatcat comes before a fall

the raiders' OTHER mcfadden has been horrific today

i like the Weather Channel Remix of the Fox NFL theme they keep playing

the nfl should force jacoby ford & darrius heyward bey to switch contracts

yeah ford is officially the raiders number 1 WR.

Lmfao I love that commercial with the pig saying "whee".

lol what a masterful feint

how many touchdowns does dwayne bowe have today?

Lmfao I love that commercial with the pig saying "whee".

yes

why is jay hatcat so worked up?

eagles kicking the field goal was the dumbest shit ever

Michael Spurlock, you should be ashamed of yourself son!

ugh this shit is over

Whew...that looked like a pick 6 for a second there.

this is definitely not over yet

Mike Martz can come up with some crazy plays, but the guy makes Andy Reid look like Tom Landry when it comes to clock management.

winslow! imo

I love watching the Bucs run the hurry-up.

classic philly clock management here

holy shit that catch

what was that

Hahaha how did Celek catch that?

holy shit @ mike vick

HOLY MOLY...how did that pass get through?

cant even believe that srsly

onside kick, i guess?

*_*

that's one of the best throws...

on the slomo it's like one frame celek's arms aren't there and the next frame he has the ball in them. incredible.

The only Eagles pass that I can remember being crazier was that one throw by McNabb on like 4th and 30 to go against the Packers in that playoff game.

wowww

wait what

There is no way Knox wasn't touched.

Shut up on the not touched, Knox got slapped on the knee by some eagle as he was on his back.

feel like they shouldve reviewed that

he was touched

It was an Eagle with a linebacker number in the 50s, he slaps him on his knee with Knox two feet up in the air.

that would be kinda clever if they meant 2 not touch him but i guess it doesnt matter cuz he "gave himself up" ?

btw dont touch the guy who fields the onside kick would be an excellent trick strategy

I got a feeling these two clubs don't like each other much, which could make for an interesting playoff game down the line.

brandon lloyd is having a sik season

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:cxYvx6ek4MYasM:http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/LordMetal_666/Chicago%20Bears/Bears_WIN.gif&t=1

The two games today have been pretty good.

I think Atlanta and Green Bay could have played for 8 quarters with no club really coming on top. Packers defense is quite good, but they are really hurting on the running game. Atlanta is quite solid.

I also got to say, I kind of like Brian Billick working games.

me 2

bears didn't much deserve to win that by the look of the last quarter

bears D line was up in the eagles backfield all day and thats basically all you need to know

Vick had to hit on a freakishly perfect pass to make it close. Vick wasn't able to run over them, they held him in check for the most part. The Chicago offense didn't make the big goof that has screwed them a couple of times this year. I think if the Eagles hadn't of burned all their time outs before 2 minutes it could have been a bit more interesting, but Reid's clubs never manage the clock very well.

Bears offense also had two really great drives that ate up a ton of clock, one right before the half and then the one to start the third quarter.

I thought they played pretty well.

NFC West is going end up putting a club into the playoffs with a record of 7-9 or 6-10. I think that was the Rams first road victory in a long time.

The Falcons couldn't buy a sack today, but I knew the game was wrapped up when GB left The Iceman almost a full minute to get into FG range. Atlanta's been pretty stout against the run for two seasons now, but they just don't have the pass rush to make the pass defense really work. I'd give them a good shot to beat any team in the Georgia Dome.

I'm pretty sick of Billick, but Tim Ryan is a guy who I think deserves more attention. He did a great job calling the Falcons-Rams game last week.

Welp, the Raider tailgate was fun at least. Raiders total rushing yards = 16. 13 of those, Jacoby Ford. Blah

bruce gradkowski was throwing like sebastian janikowski today

"He looked younger," Peterson observed [about Favre]. "He looked like he was 38 on that run."

lol Steve Johnson is mad at God:

StevieJohnson13 I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO...

Why is Bob Costas bitching about replay? Is he trying to say we should get rid of it because sometimes it gets complicated?

Oh damn, some guy fell from an upper level at Soldier Field onto the street below and died today. tbh, I'm surprised that shit doesn't happen more often.

peyty tbh

indeed

comcast internets is messed up on the whole east coast afaik! so annoying

ewwwwwwwwww

oh god

Awww, sad Peyty face

why would you throw that peyton

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS peyton with the pick 6

peyty!!!!

oh lord

XD

Lol

It would be ridiculous to celebrate this early, but I'm feeling good about switching my pick to SD a few minutes before kickoff.

wow i'm sure philip rivers never considered getting the ball to antonio gates, thanks for that, collinsworth

Most of the NFL can just not run the ball at all anymore.

lol @ the bolts pissing this away on field goals

Some struggle with the pass as well...

god peyton looks terrible

come on guys

god everyone looks terrible

this is kind of pathetic

boltzzzz

looking good, but what are bolts going to do when peyton racks up 21 points in the 4th quarter

what if peyton changed his name to peyote, would he be cool then

peyton will never be cool <3 <3 <3

eli will always be cool, and peyton will never be cool

eli has a spaceship house so

jesus peyty settle down

GARCON

Peyote Manning - Earth 2 Quarterback of L.A. Raiders

"I am the audible king, I can do anything."

Even when Peyton plays like crap, sometimes he wins. If Vinateri hadn't had missed a late field goal, the Colts would have beaten the Chargers that game where Manning threw six interceptions.

"Patriots scattered on dawn's highway bleeding...interceptions cloud a young child's fragile eggshell mind"

was that the game where he played insanely badly in the first half and insanely well in the second? i kind of loved that game

xp

Yes.

There have been a few. Other than the NE playoff games, this game against the Bucs is probably the best one.

http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=231006027

okay i love bob costas but he needs to shut up

X D

get it together, andrea~

antonio gates' long arms are long

terrible play call

also can't take a sack there

chargers are just handing this game to peyty

are you fucking kidding me

YEAH

Double TAINT

i guess the chargers' offense doesn't need to score tds really

who is this guy

?_?

colts probably still gonna win this football game, but that was delightful

welp

reggie wayne was assassinated

NAGL by Peyton running around with his arms out going "WHAT THE FUCK" instead of trying to even kind of pursue the ballcarrier.

btw - j0rdan, was that the super chargerz 3rd and goal play? idk why not take a sack, it's a chip shot FG regardless so why not try to extend the play. or was that something else?

yeah it was -- but rivers rolled out of the pocket & could've easily tossed the ball away -- taking the sack just totally prevents you from being able to go for it on fourth

true that. i didn't pay too close attention to how far they were from the goal line there

It's really odd because normally Rivers will throw a ball away as soon as he sees he doesn't have anything, too.

sometimes i think, after a pick-6 or other defensive TD off a turnover, the offense who turned it over shouldn't get the ball right back. if your offensive series ended with the opponent's defense getting 7 points, you should have to kick it off to their offense now.

Philip Rivers throwing in slow-motion is HILARIOUS.

yeah uh good luck chewing up the clock & keeping peyton off the field with that running game chargers

Obviously at the time it would have been seen as totally unloyal and a little stupid, but if the Chargers had kept Michael Turner and let LaDainian Tomlinson go a few years ago, they'd kinda be unkillable offensively now, right? Maybe I am just won over by Turner rolling all over the Packers today, I dunno.

nfl is terrible this year yet everyone started the day 7-3, curious

welp

shoulda scrambled

san-di-ey-go super CHARgers, san-di-ey-go... CHARRRRgers

really sad the super chargers teletubbies disco video was removed from the youtubes.

a good idea for a website would be one that copies every youtube video, but ONLY displays those that have been deleted from youtube, could call it like censoredtube.com

host it on the pirate bay servers or w/e

this is almost funny

:(

I should've kept Kaeding as my fantasy kicker fo sho.

rip colts, have a good offseason peyote

wonder how long they'll hold on to their coach that got fired from WAKE FOREST

What a dope game.

in all seriousness tho colts lose this one and everyone in the afc south is 6-5 or 5-6 should be interesting

not really very interesting, colts still gonna win 10 games and make the playoffs

rofl at these hubble telescope face readings

maybe jeff saturday ripped a milky fart during the play

o rly they dont seem to be WINNING V MANY GAMES RITE NOW xp

here is the 1994 version, san diego super chargers song (although it sounds like 1988 to me!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6T0WqD7KxM

yeah wth? 1994? sounds like 2nd rate Shalamar.

fyi i am regretting not having watched this game

Ouch

man

Anyone else think Wayne was just crying bc he lost the ball on that big catch?

yes, he also dropped one earlier

i think it's the "THX THO" on steve johnson's tweet to god that really makes it classic

Does anyone have a picture of a despondent Stevie Johnson on the sideline with "Why so serious?" carved into his hair? It was a great image.

Still hanging on to that one, huh?

How do you feel about the Bears playoff chances after beating the Eagles?
One week at a time 53.7%
They'll win the division 34.5%
Wild card, for sure 10.3%
Too much competition 1.5%

from mmqb: Rivers is 19-0 as a regular-season quarterback after Dec. 1

great stat. incredible really, especially for a dude who plays his home games in southern california.

i didn't realize matt cassel was having such a good season (22 td, 4 int)

great stat. incredible really, especially for a dude who plays his home games in southern california.

His performance in January is not as good.

lol, i was gonna crack wise to that effect but i was generally impressed with that stat and didn't want to muddy that water.

people are waiting for cassel to fail. he had a couple of high profile horrible games and a lot more decent or good games that went unnoticed.

Every moron on ESPN is reading the Steve Johnson tweet wrong, btw. He's not blaming god, he's blaming himself and saying "what am wasting my time on you for, big guy?" Which, in America, is bold territory for a professional athlete to wander into.

I can't say it enough. I love that dude!

Can we make that tweet our Week 13 thread title? I love it so much

i JUST missed screengrabbing that thing

shep: dramatic reading of the tweet + comment that "god probably isn't watching the bills anyway"

damn, shep. ice cold. :(

see i think the whole tweet was not about that pass it was about the general situation of the buffalo bills and the fact that he is playing for them, this is what happens.

Hi guys, what'd I...oh.

Is mortnon anderson dead? how is THIS GUY the kicker?

the moment chucky started praising the cards goal line defense i figured, next play they give up the TD

larry fitzgerald on a team with THIS GUY at qb -> tragic

sf already has more total yds in this game than their entire game last wk vs tampa

this is a hella shitty game

THIS GUY larry fitzgerald

everyday I ask myself how the Browns could be transferred to the NFC West in order to make a playoff run

Maybe THE BIG ONE will turn the Ohio border into the west coast?

doing an ilx search for 'derek anderson' was a v. worthwhile & lol producing use of my time just now

unlikely Fever, but I will grasp at straws that look like facemasks and drink deeply

searching old ilnfl threads, titles alone v worthwhile

it's like the achilles heel of his foot! week 4
WIN AND STAY HOME WITH THAT F'IN DOG: it's week 17!

Crunch, I lived with Derek Anderson in a house made of bruised ankles from his slant pattern throws. As one of his ill timed passes skittered along the ground like a crab at low tide I could only drink deeply.

berman just made TWO (2) Bachman Turner Overdrive references in the fastest three minutes
<3 THIS GUY
also yay that andre johnson is not suspended, i need dude on my fantasy team next week

I was watching Walking Dead but I guess I missed the REAL zombie bloodbath.

HE COULD! EAT! ALL! YOUR! BRAINS!

brownie, thats haunting

lmao i love you brownie :(

yeah, brownie, you're a gem <3

for real. that was poetic

lol Chucky going OFF about a potential 7-9 team playing in the post-season.

omg is anyone still watching & also heard that hysterical conversation just now as chucky gets all indignant about how the commissioner would step in, do the right thing and stop a 7-9 team from making the playoffs

i'm still laughing for real. they're like JON THERE ARE RULES and he's like A 7-9 TEAM CANNOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

chucky would be the best commish ever

The worst record for a playoff team that played a full, 16 game regular season is 8-8. No losing team has ever played in the post season. There have been nine 8-8 playoff teams as of the end of 2008.

1. 2008 Chargers
2. 2006 Giants

3. 2004 Rams
4. 2004 Vikings

5. 1999 Cowboys
6. 1999 Lions
7. 1991 Jets

8. 1990 Saints
9. 1985 Browns

Using the league alignment and scheduling instituted in 2002 by the NFL, it is possible for all four teams in a division to be 3-13 and the winner has to be one of them. It adds up like this, each team loses 4 interconferance games and 6 intra conference games for 10 total losses. Then each team in the division splits with each other divisional opponent for 3 more losses.
I don't know what the conference wildcard situation calculates as, but on a divisional level, a 3-13 winner is possible.

5-11 is the worst possible wild card record, though it is even more far-fetched than the 3-13 scenario. Other than the 4 Division winners, the other 12 teams would all split intra-conference games (3-3) [though some would go 2-4 as well; they would not be able to win the wildcard], and divisional games, except against divisional champ (2-4), and then lose all inter-conference games (0-4).

the funnier part wuz gruden tryna transition back to game talk being all CMON MAN the cardinals actually completed a pass! and then immediately derek anderson threw an int

a 7-9 team winning the superbowl would be amazing

possibly the only thing that could get me to care about this season again

also that chucky wasn't suggesting that the league should bar the NFC west division leader from the playoffs. there was no doubt in his mind! it was "the commissioner will do the right thing. here's what's gonna happen. they legislate other parts of this game."

tbh, I hope Goodell was watching.

I wonder if Singletary is using the NFC West's shittiness as a real motivator in the locker room, like: "Hey, don't worry about what the rest of the league is doing. We just need to stay ahead of the Rams, and we'll get into the playoffs. Then we're only four games from the big one!

can we get a national blackout on the nfc west? this has to happen

i mean he was making legit points! in declarative statements! but he was not being serious imo

the only reason i'm still watching this game is because chucky is so angry with this game

I'm off to start week 13

so now the mnf guys are basically trying to find new QBs for arizona AND san francisco

"anderson throws down the middle.. somewhere. incomplete."
