    I'm watching Panthers @ Saints and all I am seeing from this game is when Brees goes so do the Saints.

    The Giants had a chance to spoil away our picks. They were down by one, in perfect field position, two timeouts left, their star running back still in the game. What do they do? Call four passing plays in a row.

    I was following that game on the official NFL site & honestly thought the Cowboys had blown it with that 4th Quarter Fumble. Thankfully the Giants D did a disappearing trick & the Cowboys sealed the win.

    Also that Green Bay loss was their worst Shutout loss since 2006 :eek:

    Man... the Ravens running game is INSANE.
    It's like a freaking cheat code.

    Not even 15 minutes in and Lamar Jackson already has 2 rushing TDs.

    You guys got too fancy there. A QB sneak on 1YD? Should just given it to the Gus Bus.

    Edit
    Wow Kitchens is an amazing OC mind.

    Minnesota got what it deserved. An overpaid QB and a playoff miss.
    Yo, I got f-cking chills watching that game.

    RAVENS ARE AFC NORTH CHAMPS! THEY HAVE MADE THE PLAYOFFS!

    That whole AFC North scares the hell out of me next year. Look at what the Browns are doing. Look at Baltimore. Steelers are showing their age but they still good. Bengals were dangerous before the injuries cut their season short. Our division isn't much better to be honest but I still feel more comfortable playing against Watson than Baker or Lamar's offense.

    That's gonna be a big conversation in the league in the next couple years. The former just broke the TD record for rookie QBs. The latter almost had a 4 rushing TD game if not for controversial calling.

    Baker's the better passer. You can't dispute that. But man I get what you're talking about. It's like trying to make a more extreme comparison of Luck and Watson's playstyles.

    Now let's blow the Tennessee up and go home!

    Titans are the airline meal of offenses. So bland. So unappetizing.
    Can't even score without their defense.

    Vinny rocking that white beard and still kicking 50+ FGs with ease.

    I don't even know what I watched yesterday. A competent offense... A shutdown defense... Creative play calling... all for a 31-0 victory on the road?? Toto, we're not in Detroit anymore...

    Yeah, the victory dropped the Lions from drafting 5th overall to 8th overall, but I don't care. Sweeping your division rival for the second straight year doesn't happen very often (as in -- its been 36 years). You guys all enjoy your playoff runs, I'll just relish this 31-0 whooping of Green Bay. :D

    But easily, my favorite part of the game yesterday:





    @Capt. Andrew Luck, you might be the most familiar with Pat McAfee. That man is a football treasure. It was so entertaining having him in the booth yesterday.

    Wow 5 Head coach’s fired at seasons end plus 2 fired during the season & I thought the Premiere League (Thats Football or Soccers) Top English League was brutal.

    Also seeing a Kicker throw a touchdown pass was a gutsy call.

    Come to Detroit, baby.

    Gase is from Michigan, so the Lions most certainly have the dibs on this. A former coach of theirs, good friends with Patricia, and runs a similar system to James Robert Cooter - only, you know, with actual success. He would be able to reboot the offense without requiring a complete overhaul - and as a former head coach, he could be trusted to run the offense on his own, which in turn would allow Patricia to concentrate on the defense.
    I knew right away which video was that! Didn't make the connection that it was the same person, but I can honestly say the commentating in the Lions @ Packers game was top-notch. McAfee, followed by Romo afterwards made me extremely spoiled yesterday.

    To add to that:



    I think both Brown and Roethlisberger are trouble for the Steelers' locker room. Bell used to be a detriment as well before Conner decidedly solved the issue, but his stance was at least one I could get behind. He's just a guy who wants to be paid the market value for a star running back and the Steelers weren't willing to shell out that kind of money. Brown and Ben just feel like a pair of toxic divas right now.
