Baltimore at Pittsburgh

NY Jets at Miami
Jacksonville at Indianapolis
NY Giants at Buffalo
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Philadelphia at Washington
Oakland at Chicago
Houston at Atlanta
Kansas City at Cincinnati
Cleveland at San Diego
Green Bay at San Francisco
St. Louis at Arizona
Minnesota at Denver
Dallas at New Orleans

Detroit at Seattle

fascinating game tomorrow 0-3 ravens vs michael vick @ heinz

p lame schedule of games otherwise, for the most part. and another marquee game in london, perfect season for fins season ticket holders to lose a game tbh

the late afternoon is ok, but what the hell is going on with two primetime lions games in two weeks? that team sucks.

yeah I can't imagine they're going to fare much better than the Bears did

at least stafford won't have a close game to choke away this time

Betting lines, if y'all are interested. Second number is total points scored.

Baltimore (-3) at Pittsburgh (44)

NY Jets (-2) at Miami (41.5)
Jacksonville (+9) at Indianapolis (48)
NY Giants (+5.5) at Buffalo (46.5)
Carolina (-4) at Tampa Bay (41)
Philadelphia (-4) at Washington (47)
Oakland (-3.5) at Chicago (44.5)
Houston (+7) at Atlanta (47)
Kansas City (+4) at Cincinnati (44)
Cleveland (+7.5) at San Diego (45)
Green Bay (-9.5) at San Francisco (48.5)
St. Louis (+7.5) at Arizona (43)
Minnesota (+7) at Denver (43)
Dallas at New Orleans (no line until Brees' status is clear I assume)

Detroit (+10) at Seattle (43)

flex the lions to London. by themselves if necesssary

woah, i don't think the jets are particularly good but miami are absolute garbage and -2 at a neutral venue is insane value.

washington getting points at home vs eagles seems generous too

really feel like throwing Arizona into a teaser with everything, that game feels like a lock

idk i wouldn't like to place a bet involving the rams rn, they are so weird and volatile.

I dunno, they managed a total of 16 points in their last two games, Cards probably aren't going to go hog wild the way they have so far (STL's defense seems at least respectible) but I can't see them scoring less than 24 at home. They've played some shaky defenses but their passing attack is nuts.

Rodgers 135 QB rating, 74% completion, 10 TDs, 0 INTs, just amazing

xp STL will be the first real defense they face, interested to see how that shakes out

mental note to watch packers games https://vine.co/v/eBTWWK7xBaz

unreal, that guy

was home doing nothing and didnt watch mnf cause i was all ive had my fill for the week but i shdve just watched that game instead of the others?

he's must watch tv every time man

this was my fav catch this last week

ya that was amazing talib was all where is

watching it in real time i swore talib had the ball

yeah everyone i was watching it w had the same reaction

it's amazing because talib was playing p much a lights out game in coverage as good as you will see and megatron still found an opportunity to pwn him

whoa

this is old but how did I miss this during the offseason

http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/08/10/ravens-brandon-williams-dance-video

"mike" vick is not very good.

ravens also seem not very good, it will be a shame if they come back to win this as looks likely.

Vick in his prime was so fun to watch

the worst play in nfl history might have been the qb sneak joe flacco just tried to run

could be. ravens declining to win

steelers should've ridden bell all half

credit where it's due, that BAL fake punt had a beautiful design but one missed block sunk it

without that great tackle it was probably going for 6

omg 'field goal target line'. i haven't seen that before. that is the shittiest graphic i have seen on sports coverage for about 20 years

omg pls don't tie this game

josh scobee

https://twitter.com/CariChampion/status/649760585215811585

i remember when josh scobee was about all that passed for a bright spot in jacksonville

torn between wanting to go to bed and wanting this to be a tie

I took total under 44 points, this is a legit sweat right here (FU Scobee)

lol. what a parade of shit 4th down plays this game has been

so much of pburgh's offense has been vick trying to pass to dhb, it is easy to forget that have some actual players.

tomlin's coaching in this game has been kinda horrifying

wtf is this thing with vick pirouetting

honestly scobee can't be this bad

this is malpractice

holy fucking christ

it's not like scobee was shanking kicks, just let him do it

idk those were some of the worst hit kicks i have seen for some time, wobbly and veering.

is the national media finally going to catch on to how bad tomlin is?

Interim coach is probably the easiest job! You can rest assured that management probably won't fire TWO coaches in the same season, so just earn your check and update your resume.

hope croyle and lazor are updating theirs as well

lazor is a pretty decent coordinator, coyle is horrible and the defense quit on him midseason last year and he's still somehow made it this far

actually i guess coyle is fired too now?

if the interim coach doesn't fire coyle they should fire him and keep firing interim coaches until they find someone who will fire coyle

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/sources-say-tension-with-dolphins-had-been-mounting-for-weeks-in-practice/

ryan t is pretty wack, huh

On Saturday during practice, Tannehill, after a couple of practice squad players forced turnovers, Tannehill made negative comments toward them, including saying: “Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy.”

ouch

also

Philbin told the practice squad players to take it easy on Tannehill to not affect the young quarterback’s confidence.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/ryan-tannehill/

that story... does not scan for me

tannehill is the qb for the dolphins if it helps

yeah i am questioning the veracity of that

http://www.originalprop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/i-want-to-believe.jpg

hard to watch the dolphins secondary this year and believe that the guys not even good enough to supplant those guys are making so many interceptions in practice that the quarterback is about to go into the fetal position

well that's not what it says. i could believe it except it is too pat, too perfect for the situation

there is probably a kernel of something tho

tanne shitting it up in practice and talking trash to practice squad players is easy to believe

Philbin looked like such a uninspiring tool on Hard Knocks (couple years ago). Not shocked that he's gone.

can't even count the amount of times that something cataclysmic happened on the field only for the broadcast to flash to philbin as he golf claps at the team w/ a blank stare on his face

lol. there's this adage about turning the sound off the tv and with good actors it should still be obvious what is happening or what they're feeling. i had the sound off on sunday as philbin was interviewed coming off from the first half 20-7 and he was a total blank, the score could've been anything.

Worst NFL Head Coach as of 10/5/2015

game hasn't delivered a great deal so the lols are appreciated

here we go? promising start with that return

there it is. wow

jfc

of all the players on that team

brutal

what happened, cant be effed to watch

calvin johnson looks terrible in general but that was ridiculous

xp lions fought their way back in and calvin johnson fumbled possible game winning td about 2 inches short of the line

well that was all very detroit

:'-(

I'm up by 5 in fantasy and my opponent only had Megatron left so I'm pretty happy about this at least

wow nice save for you

but seriously what is wrong with calvin johnson

what if the seahawks aren't good

calvin's a big dude if he loses a step i could see him going from dominating to kinda eh pretty quickly

what if the seahawks aren't good

they're not

almost losing at home to a winless lions team coached by jim caldwell takes a bit of luster off the home field advantage

can't decide if seahawks are going to pull it all together and canter thru the playoffs like nbd or if they have actually already lost too many players and too much depth.

took 2 catastrophic fumbles in consecutive drives to move lions off 3pts in this game tbf

wilson does like to drop the ball

the seahawks playoff chances are entirely dependent on where they're playing.

if they have to go on the road in the nfc they're in trouble.

yeah homefield is really important for them, if they have to go to green bay or atlanta or arizona i don't like their chances

Lions and Browns both perfectly summed up their franchises this weekend

wait...each others franchises. if you really think about it

they're going to try to stir up an illegal batting controversy on that fumble i guess

ok NOW it's the perfect Lions loss

so the nfl is coming out right now and saying straight up this was a blown call.

why is this play even illegal?

this has been RT'd by everyone but def worth repeating here:

Curtis Crabtree
‏@Curtis_Crabtree
Michael Bennett: "I don't like Matt Stafford much. He's from Dallas. They killed the President (JFK). ... I hold it against him."

batting rule seems vaguely familiar, feel like it has come up before, but regardless of whether it is necessary that was a major fuck up by the officials. detroit player closest to wright knows immediately so fair play to that guy for being the one heads up dude in the stadium. it's incomprehensible that they could get something so straightforward wrong and so badly affect the outcome of the game in favour of the seahawks.

most importantly though that would've been amazing entertainment so unlike some famous, high-profile cheating scandals e.g. fake crowd noise, this time we all lose out.
