Pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo, which is the case in the majority of your posts. Yes, it is hard to comprehend something that is not comprehensible in the first place..

IE you are confused and frightened by things you are intellectually incapable of understanding and lash out with childish insults to compensate.

Leave it to Romo to fuck his team. As long as Romo is their QB, Dallas will NEVER win a big game when it matters.

That's unfair IMO. That last pick was a great play by the defender.

[Rudy]

Cowboys fan here.... If we dont make the playoff this year with the division the way it is, Garret, Romo, And Jerry ALL have to go. Tired of mediocrity.

The only one that would go would be Garret. Romo just got an extension, is the 5th highest rated QB of all time and Jerry is not selling this team. Why would you freak out about losing a close game to arguably the best team in football?

[steelerfan]

Disclaimer: he is like 12.

That said, nothing he said had anything to do with yesterday's game except that he said it yesterday. The Cowboys have been mediocre for nearly 20 years. I can understand the frustration with that.

Basically with the Bronco / Cowboy game. If you blame Romo, that's idiotic.

[skipwondah33]

Basically with the Bronco / Cowboy game. If you blame Romo, that's idiotic.Shannon Sharpe did have a good point though

"Manning threw interception, Colts lose. Brees goes 32-39, 288 yards and 2 tds...no one blamed Colts D. Romo plays well, throws pick and everyone blames Defense."

Romo's interception directly led to the Broncos winning. Sure Defense gave up 51 points...just as the Broncos Defense gave up 48 points.

Great play by the LB but also double covered.

[Deuce]

Basically with the Bronco / Cowboy game. If you blame Romo, that's idiotic.

The 'problem' with Romo is bad luck. If he throws that pic in the 1st qtr it's no biggie. ...no one is blaming Dez for his fumble. Romo though has this uncanny knack for mucking up at the worst possible time. Did the boys lose because of romo, no. But, the reason they didn't win is his horrible luck.

I love Matt Schaub.

He is single-handedly making this season enjoyable for me (the Steelers certainly aren't). With all the dumbass hillbillies and illegals here in Houston talking about the Super Bowl, it is satisfying to see this meltdown. Schaub has the weakest arm in the league. Maybe in the history of the league. The pick 6 tonight was travelling so slow that I'm surprised it travelled as far as it did.

Last week his pick 6 was EPIC. Leading by 7 with like 2:30 to play and he throws a blind slow ball into the flat. His jersey was burned in the parking lot after the game, but at least Tex-Ann fan has not resorted to throwing beer on Schaub's wife like they did to David Carr's wife years ago. Classy.

Classy....

Schaub's pick six streak is gonna get broken, but the overall pick six streak for the Texans continues. :nod:

Today, they cheered when Schaub got hurt.

I MIGHT cut them SOME slack if the story of some asshole going to his house this week hadn't come out. However, it did, By cheering, those fans all said "I'm good with someone assaulting Matt Schaub over a game."

Classy.

I guess Calais Campbell will be OK. Carted off on a stretcher in the SF-ARI game but has movement in all his limbs. Always scary when you see that in football. We just switched to the game and I saw someone lying on the field. Had to wait to get home to see what happened (a lot of family visits as this is our Thanksgiving weekend in Canada).

Well, it looks like Houston has finally bucked the trend of throwing a pick six every game. Though Case Keenum still managed to fuck things up, fumbling the ball and giving Kansas City the ball at the Houston 1 yard line with 1:34 left in the game. :D :fp:

KC dropped to a knee three times and that's game. Another loss for Houston.

[SmoothPancakes]

Goddamnit fucking Kevin Vickerson!

I'm getting so fucking tired of his ass. Denver needs to just cut his stupid ass and be done with that piece of shit. Multiple times last week against the Colts, he fucked the defense over because the fucking dumbass kept taking his fucking helmet off on the field, and so far this week, more fucking penalties.

Between Indy last week and Washington this week, Vickerson's been flagged for two unsportsmanlike conducts, roughing the passer and defensive holding. I don't give a damn if he's the most veteran defensive tackle on Denver's roster, there has GOT to be at least one decent free agent defensive tackle that Denver can pick up and replace his ass with.

[Rudy]

Dolphins are losing too many close games. They have talent but are too one-dimensional in their players. Some LBs are only blitzers, some WRs only go deep, RBs are not all purpose, TEs are no block or no catch, etc. This coaching staff is too rigid and mediocre to really change things up and use them right. The puzzle pieces just don't fit that great right now. The Dolphins can play with almost anyone but they can lose to almost anyone too.

The thing that pisses me off is that this offseason makeover was done to boost the passing game and put more points on the board. But the passing game isn't great and their over reliance on it has hurt the team. There is still time for things to come together but this coaching staff might not be the guys to do it. philbin is rigid and not well liked.

[SmoothPancakes]

Shit. Denver head coach John Fox is gonna be out for at least the next month or two.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9920451/john-fox-denver-broncos-coach-likely-need-heart-surgery


Denver Broncos coach John Fox is expected to have heart valve surgery this week that could sideline him for up to two months, according to a team official.

Fox was hospitalized Saturday after feeling light-headed while playing golf in the Charlotte, N.C., area.

Tests were conducted Saturday and will continue Sunday, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Fox was aware that he had a condition with a heart valve that eventually would require surgery. He was hoping to avoid it until after this season but when he experienced light-headedness on the golf course, his timeline very well might have been expedited.

While Fox is away from the team, offensive coordinator Adam Gase and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio are expected to have added duties.

The full story is at the link, just quoted the pertinent details.

[GatorfanStovy]

Also if not one has heard by now. Jags wide out Justin Blackman out rest of season suspended by ll the league.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep, I already dropped his ass on my fantasy team, the very same day they announced his suspension. I can't remember if I drafted him with my very last pick or if I picked him up as an undrafted free agent, but went ahead and picked him up for little or no cost and left him sitting on my bench for the first four weeks of his suspension, hoping that when he returned he'd be able to put up some decent points and be a reasonable replacement whenever one of my starting WRs had a bye week.

Now I just need to decide who to replace him with, Keenan Allen, Harry Douglas or Kenny Stills.

[steelerfan]

Keenan Allen.

[Rudy]

Let's hope John Fox gets well. Some of these NFL coaches are stupid when it comes to their heart. Coaching is a very tough life filled with too little sleep and too much fast food to fill in the gaps. I think Dan Reeves had heart surgery and was back to work within two weeks once. That's crazy! Really, to even put off needed heart surgery for the benefit of your job would be crazy to most normal people and I hope he has a full recovery. Take your time to recover and don't be stupid about it.

[JBHuskers]

These coaches go and go and go. As they brought up in the broadcast, I wonder if there will be mandates for coaches working. Of course, it won't help, they'll just work at home or a hotel or something.

The Dolphins situation is ugly with Incognito. The team is just a mess in some ways. I think the GM Ireland needs to go. This year's draft class have all been disappointing to a degree. Some came into the year recovering from injuries but Ireland is just average. His drafts are just average and this has led to an average team. I don't think Philbin is the right guy either. Very rigid, not the offensive mind fans thought they were getting and doesn't make enough adjustments until it's too late.

[JBHuskers]

Well at least the Jags and Bucs aren't COMPLETELY tanking it, yet.

[Rudy]

To be fair, they were missing 2 starting O-linemen.

But only Incognito is any good. Martin is a below average OL and they still rushed for 150+ against Cinci with the same group (missing two last week). This OL has been bad all year but this was the new low run blocking wise.

Miami is at a real crossroads right now. Their personel lacks an identity and I think everyone gets fired at the end of the year. A reset button gets pushed. Worse yet, I don't know if Tannehill is the answer. He's solid but not great. So far he hasn't shown he's elite material. I do think there is a chance he can still progress and be very good but right now his career path looks to peak at guys like Jay Cutler or Carson Palmer rather than a Top 10 QB. His deep ball is not good and overall accuracy could be a bit better. He has good command of the offense but still needs to read defenses quicker.

Without a franchise QB people always get fired and the roster and coaches get churned. That's been the story for Miami since Marino retired.

Don't worry about the Chiefs, man. They are not for real. As I told my buddy a couple weeks ago: 9-0 today, 11-5 tomorrow.

So sick of Miami. No points in the 2nd half. Tannehill misfired a few times to Wallace AGAIN. They aren't on the same page but Tannehill's deep accuracy just isn't that good. Starting to believe Tannehill is a nice QB but not the answer. The coaches put the entire game on his shoulders too which is ridiculous. Running shotgun 75% of the time is stupid. 3rd and 1 and we're in 5 WR looks. Ugh. This team sucks and I want everyone's head to roll.

Oh I know. I've been saying the same thing for the last couple weeks. But Denver still has quite a few tough games left. At New England, at Kansas City (which the first win over them last week wasn't exactly dominating) and versus San Diego (sweated out an 8 point win two weeks ago). Granted, KC also has another game vs. Denver, at Washington, at Oakland, vs Indy and at San Diego. Still, I'd like some breathing room just to be safe. Get at least a two game buffer zone in case Denver slips up at some point in the final weeks.

Based on Manning's cold weather playoffs, do you want to win the division/get a bye? Honestly I would rather see Denver travel back to the warm confines of Indy. I think Manning would blow the place up after what happened last time.

Well, Manning and the Broncos are doing good so far tonight in the New England cold. I'd rather Denver have the bye, instead of having to play their way to the Super Bowl. The more games you play, the more the players are at risk of injury. I'd rather Denver have the wild card week off to get players healthy, keep players healthy, and be ready to come out and play in the divisional round. That, and cold weather or not, Denver will have to play outside at some point in the playoffs, they can't play in domes the entire way. May as well play outside in the extremely friendly confines of home.

[SmoothPancakes]

Denver leading New England 17-0 with 10:30 left in the second quarter, and Peyton Manning ONLY 4-6 for 9 yards. I would have called bullshit if I didn't see it for my own eyes!

[steelerfan]

Manning still hasn't done shit and Denver is down 7 after leading 24-0 at halftime. Time to see if Manning is going to do ANYTHING tonight.

[steelerfan]

Tied at 31 with 3:06 left. Bailed out, big time, by Patriot penalties, but Manning finally woke up. Going to be a great finish.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, it's a tied game now. Now the defense needs to pull their heads out of their asses this drive and stop the Pats. Of course, injuries are fucking Denver squarely up the ass right now. I don't know if the Broncos even have any damn safeties left at this point. It seems like every one of them have gone down with an injury. Then the goddamn injury to DRC right at the damn half, what a bullshit time for an injury.

[steelerfan]

Way to go and just completely piss it away Denver. Absolutely goddamn pathetic. Offense, pathetic. Defense, pathetic. Special teams, pathetic. Denver played like world champions in the first half, and like fucking jokes in the second half. At this point, Denver doesn't even have any business getting in the playoffs, playing like pure and total utter shit like that tonight. If I'm a Denver player, I don't even show my fucking face in public for the next week. They should be embarrassed as fuck after tonight's performance.

[steelerfan]

Bad news for Denver. Manning still can't play in the cold and the Super Bowl is in New York. I just hope the fucking Patriots don't win the AFC again. :down:

They played complete and total utter shit tonight, no reason to not expect them to play like complete and total utter shit next week. Absolutely fucking pathetic. I'm not even pissed off that Denver lost. They deserved to lose that game. I'm pissed off that I spent four hours watching that shit when I could have been playing Dead Rising 3 or Ryse: Son of Rome instead of watching Denver shit themselves up and down the field all goddamn game.

[jaymo76]

Also, apparently the Denver fan in the Bud Light commercial thought it was safe to come out of his basement at halftime. :P

Well played sir! :fb:

[psuexv]

Denver played like world champions in the first half

More like New England played like complete shit and handed them 3 fumbles. Yes the defense put hands and helmets on the ball but World Champions, that might be a stretch.

[Rudy]

With almost all of the wild card candidates losing in the AFC the Dolphins are tied with the Ravens at 6-6 for the final wild card spot. The Ravens beat Miami and hold that tie breaker but they also have a few tough games to close out the season. The Dolphins have the Steelers on the road and the Pats at home but two games against the Jets and Bills should be two games they win. I think 9-7 gets you in for the AFC.

The Jets offense is the worst offense I have seen all year. Their QBs, WRs and TEs are awful. I don't see how that team wins another game all year. I don't know how they have managed to win any games so far. Their point differential is lousy.

[skipwondah33]

I don't know how they have managed to win any games so far. Their point differential is lousy.Running the ball and solid Defense.

Their WR options are disgusting..even with Santonio since he's hurt most of the time.

When they play defense they are all that bad...and of course don't turn the ball over.

And, I believe every part of it :sf: because it's been 4 years and it's time for the annual flush whatever we accomplished in the past 4 years down the toilet so we can start "fresh" again and lose some more.

Save himself from going through another year of that crap and the aggravation and pressure that goes with it.

[JBHuskers]

Loved watching the Philly/Detroit game, even though it cost me a couple hundred.

[Rudy]

I think defenders are using this head excuse way too much on these knee injuries. The truth is they don't want to hit these guys in the chest/upper body because they are 200 pound DBs (or less) going up against 250 pound TEs. Hitting them in the chest is generally hard on them. It's much easier to take their legs out when you are a smaller guy. I'm fine with that but they need to target the thigh area and not the knee. I think the concussion rules and fines are more of an excuse. I also agree when Cris Carter said this morning that Tony Dorsett got lost trying to find his girls soccer field due to the effects of all the concussions he's had. You can live a normal life after knee surgery but scrambled brains truly cripples you.

[JBHuskers]

I don't think it's an excuse. A perfectly clean hit gets flagged (and sometimes fined) even if they barely grace the neck and head area.

[Rudy]

I don't think it's an excuse. A perfectly clean hit gets flagged (and sometimes fined) even if they barely grace the neck and head area.

Yes I have seen that but EVERYONE and their mama are using line that now. Little guys historically have gone low on bigger guys even without these fines.

[Rudy]

What I'm amazed at is on Mike & Mike they were saying they need to see Cutler finish the year to decide how much he's worth. What? Cutler is 30 years old. He'll be 31 next year and he's played 8 years. At this point we know what he is - average and nothing special but not crap either. His career QB rating is 84.4 and he has never finished a season with one above 90. An 84 QBR is very mediocre in today's NFL. In any given year that barely cracks the Top 20. He throws a few too many picks and isn't a great leader. He is what he is - a mediocre QB. I think the Bears let him walk and draft a QB next year.

But, in this current system, he was great for them, until he got hurt. That's what they were saying. Past performance doesn't mean shit. The NFL is all about what you can give them in the next three years. Cutler's skills definitely aren't deteriorating so if he's the best they can get for the money (they won't be letting him walk, at worst, they'll franchise tag him). No team that isn't REALLY bad goes into the season with only a rookie QB and career backups on the roster unless they know they are rebuilding. Bears don't need to rebuild. They need consistency at the QB position so they can develop their offensive scheme more.

[skipwondah33]

I think it takes more time to get down that low, than it would have to hit in the mid section.

You have to make a concentrated effort to get low on someone.

Guess there is no in between. They either stay high or go extremely low and say "I didn't want to get fined"

Every time I see a game I think to myself damn you are taught none of this while growing up to play football. Wrap up tackles are rare. It's just lead with your shoulder/head and go for the knockout blow.

Teams can only have 11 or so padded practices during an entire NFL season. They don't practice tackling much any more which is the biggest reason for the bad tackling.

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Tucker's powerful leg kicked the Super Bowl champions into playoff gear.

Tucker made six field goals, including a franchise-record 61-yarder with 38 seconds left that lifted the Baltimore Ravens to an 18-16 win over the Detroit Lions in a Monday night matchup with major postseason implications.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh chose to let Tucker try the longest kick of his career — by 5 yards — instead of going for it on fourth-and-8 from the Detroit 43.

Well, with New England leading Baltimore 20-7 midway through the fourth, looks like the race for the AFC #1 seed is gonna go down to week 17, unless the Ravens manage to pull two more touchdowns out of their asses.

Denver plays at Oakland, New England hosts Buffalo. If Denver wins OR New England loses, Broncos clinch another #1 seed. If New England wins and Denver loses, Pats claim home field.

[Rudy]

The Dolphins freaking suck. You HAVE to win to guarantee a playoff spot. You score NO points against Buffalo? Ridiculous. Now you have to beat the Jets and home and you need the Ravens to lose to Cinci which has no reason to play hard next week. Lions - you suck even harder. At 6-3 and a stranglehold on a battered division and they have lost 5 of 6 and miss the playoffs. Schwartz - your undisciplined ass deserves to be fired.

Congrats to Peyton on his record which he can pad next week. That last TD pass was more suspect than Strahan's sack on Favre though. Seriously Houston? A LB on D.Thomas with no safety help? That was way too easy but a beautiful throw nonetheless.

[SmoothPancakes]

Actually, Cincinnati is still has reason to play hard. If they beat the Ravens and Buffalo somehow knocks off the Patriots, Cincinnati will claim the #2 seed. A first round bye is certainly reason enough to come out and play hard next week.

[SmoothPancakes]

Schefty is reporting that the Vikings are looking to replace Leslie Frazier after the season. Lions are reportedly already looking for someone to replace Jim Schwartz, rumors say Penn State coach Bill O'Brien is a candidate for Lions, and O'Brien and Vanderbilt coach James Franklin are candidates for the Vikings.

Shanahan is done imo and needs to retire. He's a solid coach but no longer should be considered a great one. His age is a factor against him now too and I'd rather take a chance on a younger coach although I don't see any hot candidates out this year as co-ordinators. I wonder if Josh McDaniel will ever get a shot again. He was too young in Denver and had too much power. Marty Morningweg took a job too soon and it pretty much ruined his future chances because he looked too dumb at times. He wasn't ready.

I'm not a Chargers fan and surely not a Rivers fan but you have to give credit where credit is due. They defied all the odds and made it (granted 5 of the 6 conditions were out of their hands). The AFC is pretty weak this year but SD found a way to make it in while others could not.

The Dolphins suck!! All you had to do was win one game in the final two against the Bills and Jets and you score a total of 7 freaking points? Joe Philbin was allegedly an offensive mind being the former OC of Green Bay but it's VERY clear he was just an OL coach with a fake title as McCarthy was the brains behind everything there. Heck, the Dolphins OL sucked! They can't run block at all and the scheme and play calling was so predictable. They never even moved Mike Wallace around and threw everything to him outside the numbers 90% of the time.

I want Philbin gone! I want GM Jeff Ireland gone! I think Ryan Tannehill is a decent QB that still has a chance but I question his accuracy, particularly on the consistent deep ball misses, and don't know if he's the answer. I'm so sick of this team.

This looks like a really weak year of NFL assistants being ready for a head coaching job. There are no great co-ordinators ready to take the reigns. I see college coaches or retreads being the theme this offseason. Maybe Greg Roman of SF but I'm really leery of hiring paper co-ordinators that have little say when the head coach runs the show.

I don't even know where to begin with this mess.

Schiano just was fired by Tampa Bay. Rumor has it, he might go to Penn State of O'Brien leaves for Houston in the NFL.

[SmoothPancakes]

My Black Monday predictions (some of these not really predictions as they've been already widely reported on):

Rob Chudzinski (Browns)
Greg Schiano (Bucs)
Jason Garrett (Cowboys - If Eagles win SNF game)
Mike Smith (Falcons)
Jim Schwartz (Lions)
Dennis Allen (Raiders)
Mike Shanahan (Redskins)
Wade Phillips (Texans)
Leslie Frazier (Vikings)


Wildcard: Joe Philbin (Dolphins)
Gus Bradley (Jaguars)

The list is coming together so far. Just a couple of others to still wait for word on.

Word is Allen is safe. Schwartz is still 50/50. Mike Smith is definitely safe. I'm pretty sure Garrett is too.

[JBHuskers]

Bye bye Schwartz. Had to be done. No discipline on that team.

Mike Florio was right.

Losing Pouncey in the first 3 minutes of the season

Levi Brown getting hurt during warmups and out for the season a week after the trade to get him

And then this :fp:

Sums up the season

True, but granted the Steelers were LUCKY to even be in that position yesterday.

Improbable, but wouldn't call it luck. Steelers went 6-2 in their last 8.

Luck would be if Steelers on a last second FG that ricocheted in. Yet they dismantled the Browns.

Or if the Ravens weren't playing an undefeated at home Cincy team..while battling their own on the road woes....and Andy Dalton throwing 4 interceptions, yet still losing.

And the Jets beating down the Dolphins.

Those weren't lucky wins, kind of expected actually.

Now a Chargers team winning against a Chiefs team sitting 20 of their 22 starters...and KC being in range for a FG to win the game and put them out of the playoffs...yet said kicker missed.

Well that was some luck for SD lol

Rumor is Lovie Smith HC and Kubiak OC for Tampa Bay.

Well since Pittsburgh is out so I gotta find someone to root for in the playoffs.

There will be a rematch with the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl. Carolina wins it all and Brady can go suck it*.

He gets to go home to Gisele so he wins either way.

Lovie in Tampa would be good. Kubiak not sure

That team actually looks solid

Cutler is very optimistic that he will re-sign with Chicago. I'm thinking he's not going to ask "Flacco Money". I think he's going for $15M per, which Da Bears should pay. The whole chemistry of the offense with Cutler, McCown, Forte, Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett, and eventually Wilson is so good, that I think it's a MUST that Cutler and McCown are re-signed.

Is McCown a FA?

If so, he played well enough to start somewhere and well be paid accordingly.

Yes, but he's 34, will be 35. His 10-year body of work will override a few hot games. Not sure his market as a starter elsewhere is that high. He may only produce in Trestman's system. No guarantee he plays like that in a different system.

$15M is way too much for Cutler IMO. His 84 career QB rating warrants Alex Smith money. Paying over $10M would be too much for what is an average at best starting QB in the league. He's not even top 15.

He could start for 3-5 years somewhere. Look at a team like Cleveland. Or Minnesota. Or Jacksonville as examples of teams that could use a player like that.

A little late, but better late than never. :D

That too. :D It was funny as hell on its own, but then the Cowboys fan celebrating just pushed into the next level.

The Colts and Luck are just having a terrible day on offense throwing 4 picks already...

KC and Alex Smith is lighting up the defense. How far will can the Chiefs go with Smith at QB? Seems like a match made in heaven for Reid and smith. Would be a interesting super bowl for KC vs Sf if it came down to it.

[GatorfanStovy]

Man the Colts are down by 3 now with 6 minutes to go. Gonna be a great 4th quarter if the Colts can stop the Chiefs. but they just failed on 3rd down. Colts really need some major help on pass defense.

[SmoothPancakes]

It's looking like they'll be going for a wild card exit. :)

[GatorfanStovy]

HA HA yup Chiefs choked again . Their defense needs some serious help in pass coverage. They just fell apart in the second half and lost it to Mr. clutch Luck.

[SmoothPancakes]

Goddamnit Eagles. :fp:

A penalty on the kickoff return, their run defense couldn't stop a paper bag, and now the Saints are about to kick for the win in the final seconds. I couldn't possibly care any less for the Saints and wanted them to lose tonight. Seattle better be ready to smack the hell the out of them next week.

[GatorfanStovy]

Yea terrible defense on the last drive for philly. Tough game tho much closer then that crap fest in Indy no defense at all.

Cant wait for 49ers game.. Woot , will be a damn cold one .. Hope the boys brough there warm weather gear with them to GB. Just hope it is a good defense battle ..

[steelerfan]

Uh oh, Peyton Manning. Not only is it a playoff game next week, not only will the temperature likely be below 40°, but now Philip Rivers is coming to town. It's the holy trifecta of Manning kryptonite. Can you say, "ELIMINATION"?

I guess the goddamn Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl. :fp:

[SmoothPancakes]

I actually am looking forward to the game. I would much rather the Broncos face the Chargers and Philip Rivers than the Colts and Andrew Luck, based on the outcomes of games against those two teams during the season.
