Pat did pretty good with the Hawks/Cards. Its one of the worst first half beatings I’ve ever personally seen in pro football.
Edit: They just announced most take aways in a half ever for the Hawks (6) and most points in a half (38-0). [/quote]
Well I got 5 right, it’s not as bad as it seems, but it was still bad… And come on, who the fuck thought that Philly or the Jets were ever going to win another game again this season?
Hey at least I had the balls to post picks… Well not much of a feather in my cap, I guess.

Smart move, actually. When you have someone like Ray Rice, who gets only 10-15 touches a game, vs Flacco throwing it 40+ times a game, something’s got to give. (IMO)

Fair enough. Seems to me a simple conversation would be better than that level of disruption…
It’s about time Cam Cameron is gone. They are the 18th ranked offense in the NFL, and given the weapons they have, that’s pretty much unacceptable. Typical play calling: 1st down- Ray Rice for 6 yards / 2nd down and 4- Ray Rice for 3 yards / 3rd down and 1- Flacco deep right side to Torrey Smith incomplete.
Not to mention Torrey Smith seems to only run one route (the deep ball).

While they’re at it they need to get rid of Rivers.[/quote]
YUP.[/quote]
Agreed on the first, not the second.
Trading away Rivers would be like trading away Romo (ie. PLENTY of happy takers)
[/quote]
In fairness, people said the same thing about Carson Palmer. I think the Bengals are a little happier with their end of that deal.
[/quote]
Also in fairness, CIN got very lucky on Dalton (panning out) and AJ (being available). But that’s results-based analysis anyway.
Rivers was fine (even elite for awhile) when he had legit weapons (VJax, healthy Gates) surrounding him. Even in the post-LT days, Rivers showed he could carry em just fine. Take away the weapons and dominant OL-play, and he’s predictably struggled. If Danario gets hurt (again) now, expect the same.
I don’t recall the end of C Palmer’s CIN days but both Housh/Ochocinco got older and werent getting open like they used to. Of course everyone was quick to blame Palmer’s mechanics and so on, but its not like those wideouts went on to produce elsewhere.
My point: fans calling for their QB’s heads are sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes very wrong.

Pretty much this. The Ravens should be much more consistent on offense. Every series seems to either be run run pass or deep pass run pass. It’s to the point Tutankhamen’s I often predict the call and I know Dick about football. Now we see if Flacco is worth a long term deal. I think ie is.
It’s funny a small but loud group wants John and Joe gone as well. Average moe and overhyped John as they say.
Edit: wtf kindle Tutankhamen’s how the tuck did you auto correct to that! Tuck it it’s stayin

The Week 16 game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks has been moved to NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
NBC had originally selected the Chargers/Jets game.
The 49ers will play Week 15 at the Patriots on NBC as well.
And the 9’ers will apparently achieve time travel??
This is a good move, no-one wants to watch the Jets, not even their own fans. That NBC and SNF has that power is pretty dang sweet, primetime in America football and shit!
The snow at Lambeau was AWESOME. Too bad GB has heater pipes under the field to keep it green, would have been cool to see everything snowed over.

Love watching bad weather football. Last night I had the fireplace going with some black forest cake and milk, watching snowy football. Just the best.

Ya the ability to change primetime games is great. Cant wait for that game! And it would be awesome to see a snowy Lambeau field. It would take you back in time.
The next few games mean so much to about every damn team. It hasnt been like that in awhile. Its amazing how many teams are still in the hunt for the WC spot. Im hoping for a Denver/Indy matchup.
God I hope the Giants shit all over than the most overrated 11-2 teams in recent memory. Rodney Harrison who I am not a fan of said perfectly when he stated…
?I don?t even care about the record,? Harrison said. ?When the Giants (8-5) get into the playoffs, they have the experience and that pass rush. Eli (Manning) in the fourth quarter, that?s the team to beat.?
?Atlanta is the No. 1 seed, but no one is afraid to play Atlanta,? Harrison said. ?To me, the team to beat in the NFC is the New York Giants.?
Yeah, the ATL for whatever reason seems like the “wine and cheese” playoff team this year.
Carolina hung a big fat L on them on Sunday, and for whatever reason that loss doesn’t look good. I’m sure the city of ATL is pumped, I mean with their record all of their playoff games will be at home until the SB, no?
Oh and Hernandez really went into his clearly deep well of interpretive dance for his TD celebrations last night.
I’d rather the NFL let players take their helmets off and scream to the crowd while pointing to the name on their back than see this fuckery every time someone scores.

x1,000,000
Letting that turd Flacco throw the ball all day long and not giving the ball to Rice has been negatively impacting my fantasy team
Big time. Lol
Playing the #1 seed this week so hopefully Rice gets 30 touches now that they have a new OC.
