CLE @ BUF what the fuck is wrong with monday night football this year. buffalo

i don't watch football but i live in chicago and just got a new tv

for some reason i always read these threads even though i don't really care about football. i guess i have a vague interest in how the bears are doing and want to see what people think they will do?

Kurt Warner has the highest QB rating right now?!

yeah i was going to email you but i don't have yr email?

also these threads are great and hilarious and should be read so you're doing a good thing, regardless.

naamme at gmail will work

yeah i always read these threads too even tho i haven't followed football in at least a dozen years.

is the jets hate on this board because of favre or because the jets are a lol franchise?

both! i've never really liked the jets very much personally and favre is just bonus vomit icing on a shit cake imho.

of course now they've signed ty law too so i'm wondering if in fact they are just hosting a "player museum"

ha, 2 teams i followed back in the day were jets and raiders.

schef otm re: jets. i wouldn't say i hated them pre-favre but they are boring and off-putting.

xpost sorry velko!

i'm a giants fan so, you know

i tried to like them a couple years ago when the whole league was like mangini's a genius! chad pennington is a smart young man! (still like pennington tbh) but then i actually was forced to watch a jets monday night game against the dolphins and was like oh god kill me.

lol @ player museum

NYJ @ NE Pats over the loathed, despised Jets.

DET @ CAR I hate picking the panthers but picking Detroit is more or less impossible.
MIN @ TB Bucs at home.
BAL @ NYG Nice game. Giants.

BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE WEEKEND.

A friend of mine from Buffalo is coming into town to watch the game on Monday. He just lost his job. Buffalo you are a cruel mistress.

Horseshoe, are we going double or nothing on our outstanding bet?

what happened to BUFF

how sad that the answer to this is "the AFC East"

i don't think dallas's chances have very much to do with romo at all at this point btw.

sure they do. romo's fun and success in the big d are intrinsically linked!

the correct answer to all of these is "gus frerotte"

If this happens I will fuck Bea Arthur with Rich Eisen's dick.

eisen in arthur, damn that's a new turducken recipe if i ever heard it amirite

NYJ @ NE yick i am so glad this is on nfl network and not on real american tv. NEW ENGLAND

MIN @ TB adrian peterson
BAL @ NYG GIANTS also will someone txt me important results and lollerplays of this game as i will be in chicago and i don't think this will be on, in chicago?
OAK @ MIA - Miami better win.
NO @ KC - KC seems to be playing better and are at home. I want to take the Saints, but I will go with the Chiefs.
PHI @ CIN - Philly but I could see Cincy making it interesting.
CHI @ GB - I sure hope the Bears win.
HOU @ IND - I'm going Indy. I honestly think they need to start running Rhodes more than Addai, who loses alot of yards with hesitation on those edge runs. I'd go with Dom Rhodes as he might not be better, but he is more of a battering ram type back and it fits their current game better.
STL @ SF - Who knows who wins when the war is lost?
ARI @ SEA - The Cards better win if they are some real deal, but I have an odd feeling they could below it this week.
TEN @ JAC - I'm going Jaguars for the upset with an untimely turnover or two being the stubbed toe for Tennessee. They are good and could win it all, but I can't buy the Titans as undefeated all time great kind of team.
SD @ PIT - I'll go Steelers as Big Ben needs to turn that frown upside down.
DAL @ WAS - Hurmmmm...kind of hard to pick, logic states the Redskins, but if the Cowboys are going to do anything they need to win this one. I'll take Dallas in a squeaker.
CLE @ BUF - I'm pulling for Buffalo as listening to Cleveland sports talk radio driving home from work is so sad. Browns sport talk radio fans are a particular darkly negative group, although I did get a chuckle when the one caller said that the Braylon Edwards commercial for the 5 Hour Energy Drink with him catching the football was not truth in advertising.

gaahahaha god i thought i hallucinated that commercial

yeah, i think so too. makes me sad bc i love Addai and his funny, loping run.

NYJ @ NE: NE, but would not be surprised by an upset
DEN @ ATL: Atl I guess
DET @ CAR: Car.
MIN @ TB: something doesn't smell right about the point spread here. Minnesota.
BAL @ NYG: Giants
OAK @ MIA: Miamuh
NO @ KC: NO, but would not be surprised by an upset here either
PHI @ CIN: Philly
CHI @ GB: GB I guess
HOU @ IND indy
STL @ SF: SF
ARI @ SEA: AZ
TEN @ JAC: Tenn
SD @ PIT: spitsburg
DAL @ WAS: Wash
CLE @ BUF: Buf

NYJ @ NE jets

NO @ KC chiefs have looked less terrible lately
PHI @ CIN iggles
CHI @ GB bears in the snow i hope
HOU @ IND colts
STL @ SF bad beats worse, 9ers
ARI @ SEA please god let kurt warners mvp hopes derail
TEN @ JAC david vs goliath sequel here
SD @ PIT steelers
DAL @ WAS cowmen for no reason
CLE @ BUF i can't believe i traded for braylon edwards in fantasy

god i kinda love watching AZ but really warner's postgame, "Man I'm just feeling like God is really cool" was cringe inducing

I'm sorry, but there is no other reason behind the Arizona Cardinals enjoying a winning season short of a divine intervention.

Or a divine interception, amirite ha.

NYJ @ NE Jets won't be able to run, Favre will step up to the big occasion by slinging the ball around carelessly, Jets will sack Cassel a few times but not as many times as they did earlier in the season, and the Pats won then too. final score will be closer than the game. i am buoyed by that fact that, of all of the husks of recently great AFC teams, NE is the least pitiable.
DEN @ ATL i'm just going to write HOTLANTA every week as i have no idea of the means by which they keep winning
DET @ CAR Panthers definitely have the quality to be one of the teams another team beats on the way to the NFC Championship game
MIN @ TB Vikes will find scoring difficult
BAL @ NYG Giants pash rush will feast on young flesh
OAK @ MIA i kinda wish Miami would just fuck off already this season
NO @ KC there is good cause to favor KC to take this, which is why they will fail hilariously
PHI @ CIN Philly likes beating up on the shitty teams
CHI @ GB this is a hunch
HOU @ IND can't talk myself out of Indy for this one. i really hope they don't make the playoffs.
STL @ SF that last Rams performance was a real farce. they have checked out for the season.
ARI @ SEA this is also a hunch, kind of reliant on the Hass playing
TEN @ JAC what has happened to this division?
SD @ PIT pitiable husks
DAL @ WAS i don't know why Washington aren't more consistent on offense. it is curious to me. i am curious about it. curious.
CLE @ BUF i don't think you do so you and me are through

se jerome is out against america's team?

questionable but signs pointing to no

wau!

i'm going to have a heart attack

crennel is def going to have a heart attack

nice pass Trent Edwards

Seriously how fucking stupid do you have to be, Cleveland? 1:44 on the clock, FG to win, it's a game of field position. DON'T FUCKING SQUIB KICK.

oh, man, buffalo

i feel bad for those dudes

really how many times does jim kelly have to experience wide right

D:

Jim Kelly's face OTM

Browns totally bailed out there. No idea who played better but that was a fun game.

so unnecessary to show kelly

yeah i don't really feel like browns deserved to win that one.

well, trent edwards threw 87 interceptions; there's no deserving when teams play like that

I have NEVER seen a stupider coaching decision as I did during that last minute. WHAT THE FUCK, Romeo??? First you squib it thinking "Well, he did take it to the house last time!"...

AND THEN YOU CALL A TIMEOUT WHEN THE CLOCK IS RUNNING!?!?!?!?

hahaha just give it to marshawn on every play

― T-PALIN (daria-g), Tuesday, November 18, 2008 2:06 AM (2 hours ago)

i couldn't figure out what crennel was up to either - one of the commentators (not kornheiser) agreed on that decision - saying if buffalo got the field goal at least they'd get the ball back. kickoff was a bad plan imho, bills ended up starting on their own 40 AGAIN

I seriously cannot believe what I just saw. WORST COACHING EVER BY ANYBODY.

And I have to wake up at 5:00 tomorrow to go to work. Fuck you, Monday Night Football.

well trusting the kicker from 47 as they did was not a good decision. They needed 5 more yards and they ran off tackle 3 times. I had not one iota of doubt that norwood would miss that.
xpost

dude, your team won

xpost

shades of lovie smith against the falcons on that squib, crennel is lucky.

They needed 5 more yards and they ran off tackle 3 times. I had not one iota of doubt that norwood would miss that.

this

yeah i thought the bad coaching was on jauron + schonert. they needed to call more aggressive offensive plays all through the game but especially at the end. i know trent edwards is terrified but it's not like he's going to wake up tomorrow and not be an NFL quarterback. he needs to throw the ball down the field.

^^yaah dudes squib was questionable but bills had 32432423 of special teams yds so romeo might be boned either way. i thought romeo's worst strategery was not calling his first t.o. right after the seam pass to royal at abt 1:20 left and buff already in FG range. fortunately he got bailed out by WORSE playcalling by buffalol

True about special teams yards to that point but [analyst mode]at some point you have to trust your players to make a play[/analyst mode]. They were kicking with the wind (that had just aided a 56-yard FG) and were taking the possibility of a touchback out of play entirely. So they leave the Bills with 26 yards to kick a FG for the lead and then start calling timeouts. The whole thing is essentially "we don't trust our defense so we're basically going to concede a FG and try to get the ball back" which is an awful conservative play-not-to-lose strategy.

Ok i have to make this quick cuz the Buffalonian is in tHe shower right now but he was sporting Bills CROCS last night

lollllllllllll

whoa

!!!!!

THANK YOU DEEADSPIN U R UESFUL FOR SOMETING

re: espn last night, who the fuck were all those ppl doing the post-game? where was everyone?

Steve Young's wife was expecting a baby....the other guy had knee surgery....don't know about the other guy.

haha who was it? pls tell me they put someone ridiculous like skip bayless out there. shocking no one wanted to go to buffalo in mid nov

Suzy Kolber, Emmett Smith, Merril Hodge.

I hope Emmett reprised his Just for Men commercial: "ohhhhhhhhh, it's baaaad...."

Had some serious hair of the dog with the Buffolian this afternoon- he's on his way back home. GodSpeed you wonderful jerk!

yep, Bills Crocs. Bills wallet. Bills socks. Sabres bag. A big heart and he brought Gin and wings! I haven't had Gin in 10 years.

WIDE RIGHT

also, roger mexico and Mighty Taco are otm

Buffalonian: Brother, try on these Crocs.
Brownie: They're like regular shoes.
Buffalonian: Smell my fart.

^actual

aw. <3 the Buffalonian.

Horseshoe, I have never seen a game where the team that is winning is calling timeouts at the end!

also (before the Browns game obv) the Buffalonian referred to Marshawn Lynch as "Marshawn Inch".

i hope he's seen the error of his ways!

Perhaps!

He says the Chiefs beat the Bills next weekend. Fatalism? yes

haha that sounds like a bills fan to me.

how is it possible you haven't had gin in 10 years

Tt surprised me too.

it

i'm not sure if i am impressed with your restraint or saddened by your loss.
