8-8 last week (blech!), 127-65 on the season.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland - PIT
New Orleans at Atlanta - NO

St Louis at Tennessee - TEN
San Diego at Dallas - SD
Philadelphia at New York Giants - PHI
Arizona at San Francisco - AZ

Browns are gonna win Thursday night. You heard it here first. Or at least they'll put up a good fight. These are two teams going in two different directions.

The wheels are coming off in Pittsburgh, but I still can't see a Browns win.

PITT > CLE
NO > ATL
GB > Chi
IND > DEN
KC > BUF
MINN > CIN -- might change this one before gametime
NE > CAR
NYJ > TB
JAX > MIA -- might change this one too
BAL > DET
HOU > SEA
TN > STL
OAK > WASH
SD > DAL
NYG > PHI -- both talented but underachieving, games like this always get my fewest confidence points; it could go in any direction, including the "what a waste of three hours" bin
AZ > SF

10-6 week, 135-57 season

snrub otm. bet the farm you lost in the cincy game and bet it again against the steelers!

i will own all your farms

10-6 last week, 127-65 on the year

saints fans, ladies and gents

the word 'savages' comes to mind most immediately

How do y'all feel about the concept of changing overtime so that you can't kick field goals? So you could only win by scoring a touchdown or a safety.

I kinda like it!

What a dumb bet.

damn, saints fans

It's important here to remind everyone that aside from the good food, the rest of Louisiana is not very representative of NOLA.

shockey would fit right in

south louisiana and north louisiana are different states, it's true

tanier breaks down brees to obama

In order to maintain Walkthrough's delicate balance, I cannot make fun of one politician without taking shots at someone from the other side of the red-blue divide. In that spirit, I give you the creepy Play 60 public service announcement featuring Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, Troy Polamalu, and Barack Obama:

Figure 3: Brees to Obama
http://footballoutsiders.com/images/TDZ/Walkthrough120309-3.jpg

Figure 3 shows the play; the field color has been changed to a disturbing ultra-green to reflect the over-saturated slow-motion dreamlike quality of the PSA. A little girl (LG) runs a post pattern, but she is well covered by a little boy (LB). Brees also sees a Secret Service agent covering the deep middle (Danny Amendola, uncredited, plays the agent), so he checks down. Had the little girl flashed open, this 90-second ad would show the President as a decoy receiver.

Obama runs a drag at what appears to be five yards. In the Saints playbook, the little girl is Devery Henderson, and Obama is Marques Colston. In fact, Obama is still considered a tight end in some fantasy leagues. A little boy runs a shallow drag in front of the President to create a mesh and get some face time. Off-camera, the boy briefly considers wiping Troy Polamalu, thinks better of it, and runs an elaborate wheel route. None of this is visible, but after 50 viewings of the PSA I am certain it happens.

Obama keeps moving hard to his right (interpreting this politically will get your comment deleted, so just let it go). The grinning Brees spots him, wonders how Willie Gault got onto the White House lawn, and hits the president in stride. Obama alligator-arms the pass slightly -- understandable because he is about to run into Ware, who has a little girl fastened to his head -- but he snags the ball, avoiding a politically-damaging "for who, for what" controversy.

The jubilant President knows he will soon get trucked by Polamalu (who would then be shot by Amendola), so he quickly switches sports and attempts a lay-up. No, wait, it's a hook-and-lateral! Ware's little friend catches the pitch. She briefly considers running for a touchdown, or at least digging her spurs into Ware's chest so he starts running, but everyone is too happy. Too darned happy.

I don't know what any of this means. But if Runyan wins a spot in Congress, I expect to see him on that lawn in 2011, pancaking little kids and protecting Brees. Or the President. Whoever had a better year.

lol

might be an improvement...but I still wouldn't mind if they did it like college football, seems the most fair, and more exciting IMO

Signs posted in Raiders locker room: "Sunday 12-13-09, 1:05PM- the day the Oakland Raiders break thru."

Randy Hanson is back at work with the Raiders scouting department, by the way.

70% chance of snow showers plus 25mph winds for the game of the year tomorrow night.

Having already launched a reality TV show and promoted his own breakfast cereal, the Buffalo Bills receiver is ready to try fashion after signing a deal with Wilhelmina Models this week.

"Well, I'm always putting my hands in and feeding into something," Owens said after practice Wednesday, noting Wilhelmina approached him with the offer. "When you've got some good looks like myself, you've got to take full advantage of it."

Pittsburgh at Cleveland - Steelers swooned pretty hard after last SB and it seems the injuries have piled up and they are pretty normal. I'd have to see it to believe that the Browns would take them down, so Steelers it is.
New Orleans at Atlanta - Redman looked ok for a bit, but the ATL got flogged last week. Saints until proven wrong, but they do seem to keep lesser competition in the game and are probably due to lose one.
Carolina at New England - I can't see NE losing.
Buffalo at Kansas City - Hurmm...both clubs are rolling with backup QBs at this point. Pretty similar story lines. I guess take the Arrowhead advantage and go Chiefs.
New York Jets at Tampa Bay - I'm feeling Bucs in an upset, but I am still going with the Jets backup QB and all.
Miami at Jacksonville - This will probably be a good game. I'd think this is a rivalry, but really if you live in Florida you either follow the Dolphins or probably the fxxxing Cowboys. I'll take Miami, as they are decent and maybe without Ronnie Brown going down and one more chump in the early schedule would be going to the playoffs.
Cincinnati at Minnesota - Vikings got licked pretty good. I'll just be a homer and take the Bengals, even though they are not going to be able to grind on the ground like they have been doing.
Detroit at Baltimore - The Ravens for all of their bravado are a bunch of crying choads. I'm glad as hell I don't have to cheer for them as a home team. I'd like to see the Lions beat them, but Baltimore will probably win.
Green Bay at Chicago - Packers seem to be getting it together and will probably cream the Bears. Hope it isn't so, but Cutler kind of has that deer in the headlights daze on him like what happened to Grossman, except now they can't even run the ball.
Seattle at Houston - Houston SHOULD win, whether they actually do win, you never can be sure about.
Denver at Indianapolis - I keep picking on Indy to lose and they screw me. I'll take them to win and get screwed by the Broncos pulling off an upset. That being said, there are probably plenty of Denver fans that really want to beat the Colts, as Indy and Manning have beat them quite a few times including a couple in the playoffs. One of Mannings top comebacks was in Denver ending on a "drunken kicker" big field goal in the snow. God considering how crap some of these kickers have been, I'm surprised no one has rung up the drunken kicker. The dude went down hard after blowing that kick against the Steelers and then got flushed out the next year in Dallas, but hasn't been back.
Washington at Oakland - I'm taking Oaktown, but Washington's D is still playing like it counts, which says a bunch about those guys.
St Louis at Tennessee - Titans should win this one and Chris Johnson will go for 200 yards on the ground.
San Diego at Dallas - I think the NFL schedule guys are laughing their ass off, as they have totally setup Dallas to swoon. I think at best they will finish 2-2, as it is rough. SD seems to be clicking right now. (Heck the Chargers still have the Colts and Titans left to play, so they don't really have it easy either, which makes this game even more important.)
Philadelphia at New York Giants - Who knows? Dallas loses and Giants win would make a total clusterfxxx at the top of their division, so I will take NY.
Arizona at San Francisco - Cards seem to slip back, but maybe not this time.

Last week another 10-6, upset minded and drunk on eventuality I made a couple of off picks. 130-62 for the year.

Cassel's starting again for the Chiefs, actually.. just checked.. saw he was pulled last week but figured it was only for the end of that game, whatever's messed up with that team, it isn't him IMHO

I really wonder how significant of a problem Clinton Portis is/was @ redskins, since he's been out (is now on IR) it seems like something has changed. there was always talk about it being trouble for the team when there's one set of rules for one player, another set for most everybody else. (<3 Portis, but.. just asking the question.)

ps to brownie apparently there is a wedding scheduled for 3:30 in the muni lot amongst the idiots Browns fans

Pancakes, you work right there iirc. Photos please.

I am way too far away! It's at the far eastern end of the lot and I'm on E. 9th street.

time for a 20 minute smoke break

Near as I can tell it's going to happen at the orange bus in the center right where the tailgating starts:

u got me thinkin about the idiot kicker, where he now? i learned that

Vanderjagt appeared in a Walt Disney film called The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon, where he was a stunt double for Tony Danza as a place kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles.

xpost

UPS driver is reporting 1000's of Steelers fans converging on downtown. Sportstalk predicting tens of thousands in the stands tonight. Ugly

I was thinking of going to Map Room to watch the game but maybe I'll just stay the hell out of downtown.

roving bands of tothless yinzers are enough to keep any civilized person out of downtown

i'll be in shaker drinking a bottle of wine while enjoying american football on the telly

Video from Cleveland.com. At 0:53 you can see my office. From a long ways away.

SPECIAL TEAMS

i mean, i'm watching some of this game but it's kind of hard to care about

roving bands of toothless yinzers are enough to keep any civilized person out of downtown

looooooool
(no offense mookie & about a hundred people i know from back home.. but then, the more civilized among us are redskins fans)

go bag some groceries nigga

chuckie and jaws lol'ing at the game again

so is it just me or are these NFLN game ads with saints/colts a little misleading?

"Nothing good comes out of a rekick."

yeah ads are totally misleading
also i feel like it would be better for the purposes of hyping games if there were only one undefeated team
otherwise its like.. you HAVE to watch all these games of .. two teams. nah

oh jeez, look at this 49ers fan all dressed up in his diehard 49ers fan outfit

helluva catch

uh, cardinals. what's with these games where you guys just don't show up?

free leinart

haven't been watching, just checked the score, wtf?

turnovers:
sf 1
super cards 5

Tom Jackson, you are NOT old enough to remember the Long Ranger.

GO FOR IT

this game is dumb

49ers gold pants make butts really pop

^^^posts very much in the character of ade

lmao well played

you have forever changed the way i watch football

I knew it was just a matter of time before Fitzy got injured... the Madden curse lives.

hes ok now, it seems

also.. what a fool just now, spiking the football. wtf. how many penalty yards are we at now?

who gets an extra point blocked? o_O

LOL BLOCKED

ROUTE COMBINATIONS. PASS CONCEPTS. 80S! 90S!

one thing i have figured out is that if you want to sound like you know a lot about football, use the word "concepts" a lot

also always call the 3-4 defense "the thirtyfour" instead of three-four, all coaches do that for some reason

For the love of god.

lol this game

the inconvenient truth!

lol, what?!

have we hit another one of the lowest points in modern football?

1 more for the full hanukkah

ok whatever that was about

"This lady – who was middle aged and wore Marshall’s No. 15 jersey to the game – was clearly a fan. Upon receiving the unexpected gift, the woman convulsed in what can be described as jubilant shock. Hugging the ball and jumping up and down, she was overcome by tears of joy. The moment actually lasted several minutes, as, still bawling, she held the souvenir high above hear head – not unlike the way Rafiki, the mandrill-like baboon in The Lion King, held new baby Simba for all of the Animal Kingdom to see.
At one point, a man standing to her left offers her a high five, only to be left hanging. "

^as written by don delillo ?

btw: 13-3 against the spread this week. missed on NO, JAC, and ARI

I don't know that I have seniority enuf to open weekly threds tbh

I don't feel like I do either, but I was tired of waiting.

guys anyone can start threads

if eric mangini can coach a football team, anyone can start a thread

if you bought the same kind of talent and expertise to starting a football thread that mangini brings to coaching a football team, the thread would be a poll on tmi called WEEK 43: JELLIE.

possibly
