oh look, Carson Palmer is injured ? who woulda' thunk that eh ?
Pittsburgh looked horrible
Once Suisham shanked a 23-yarder it appeared no one showed up.
Jets had 3 takeaways all season...got 3 alone in one quarter just about lol
Didn't look anything like team that played last 3 weeks...hell all season
mmmm Cards win but how bad is that so called Palmer injury ?
yes, I know you some how think the Giants losing all but destroys them but they can still potentially lose 2 more games and still not be out of it. This going to get good
Yes, he just decided to fake an ACL injury and lose playing time and career stats. :fp:Quote:

Add Sunday Night Football to that list. Thursday night and Sunday night prime time games have been total blowouts this week. Great job NFL writers! Maybe try writing a competitive game for your prime time games?Quote:

Falcons (better team) beat the Buccaneers, no upset.
Jets beat the Steelers (better team), upset.
Ravens (better team) beat the Titans, no upset.
49ers (arguably better team) beat the Saints, no upset (either way no upset as the Saints and 49ers are pretty damn close to each other in terms of "better team").
Cowboys (better team) beat the Jaguars, no upset.
Lions (better team) beat the Dolphins, no upset.
Chiefs (arguably better team) beat the Bills, no upset.
Packers (better team) raped the Bears, no upset.
Out of 12 games between yesterday and Thursday, only one true upset happened (Jets over the Steelers) and one 1/2 upset as the Browns beat the Bengals (Browns are playing better this year while the Bengals suck this year, so not a true full upset).
Even if you were to try and claim 49ers over the Saints and Chiefs over the Bills as upsets, and say the Browns over the Bengals was a true full upset, then you'd have a grand total of 4 upsets out of 12 games. HARDLY "upset Sunday".
Better luck next time kiddo. Maybe mother can help you out next time.
*waits for the "I'm just a week early" excuse when prediction doesn't pan out*
You better not say he's faking either.Quote:

And with the better team winning. Out of 13 games this week, only one true upset happened. Upset Sunday. Riiight. :eyeroll:Quote:

And there's your Super Bowl curse in action. Think Drew Stanton is the next Tom Brady? He'll have to be if the Super Bowl-hosting Cardinals are going to go that far. Methinks that's a bit of a stretch.
Another stretch of the imagination came in the form of the woeful NY Jets (led by convicted felon Michael Vick) beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is the exact sort of game that should make ever NFL fan stop and think, "How is this possible?" Does "parity" really allow for such a result? Not in the real world. This is the sort of outcome that fills my inbox with questions of "How close does the NFL work with Las Vegas and the bookies?" It's also why taking a contrarian stance betting-wise is more profitable than following the "squares."
Speaking of the NFL, did you know that it's on a pace to break the record for the most 10+ point comebacks in a single season? Does that hurt TV ratings? Of course not, as the NFL trumpets under its headline "NFL Games 26 of 30 most-watched shows this fall": "At the halfway point of the 2014 NFL season, fans are tuning into NFL games in record numbers for good reason…they have been captivated by the fantastic contests and come-from-behind victories. Three teams have overcome deficits of 21 or more points to win games, on pace to break the single-season record. The record for the most such wins in one season is four, which has happened three times (1999, 2011 and 2013)."
Unfortunately, not everything is so hunky-dory for the NFL. The league along with NBC is having a bit of a problem selling out Super Bowl commerical time. I was thinking of buying a 30-second spot this year to promote my books, but when I read that the asking price went up $500,000 to $4.5 million, I realized my advertising budget would've been completely blown by February 1st.
Oh, yeah, and if you didn't see this Deadspin piece about the "investigation" into the 49ers' Ray McDonald and his domestic abuse charges, you should. Guilty or not, it's another great example of how NFL Security really operates.
http://thefixisin.net/resources/palmer+injury.jpg
anyone intelligent should point at the Jets/Pittsburgh game and scream that it pure bull.
but then hey, I'm the one who already called upset week. LOL I was just wrong with 3 of the games in the afternoon.
which I'm sure will work in my favor anyway as the season goes along.Heck, the Giants could lose next week and still make the playoffs LOL
LOL, like, one upset LOL does not LOL equal LOL "upset week", LOLQuote:

Yeah ram is definitely not the poster boy for claiming the NFL is fixed.

Ram needs to pick every game before the Thursday night blowouts.
High school football is fixed! Watch the film and look at the broken tackles. Use your logical brain.
http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?s...&ex_cid=espnFB
Yep. Definitely scripted. I used my logical brain and deductive reasoning. I watched the defensive players arms and saw the way that they guided the offensive player. I watched the way they took bad angles. They've practiced this stuff a billion times.

Well that's how the NFL is fixed. You start training them in high school.

Conclusion: the viewership for this snooze fest probably isn't any better than it has been for all the blowouts.

Yeah, I was a week early. But, they are 3-7 and will make their move soon. They can still lose 2 more and make the playoffs.Quote:

Cardinals lose to Denver
Atlanta beats the saints but loses to the Giants- Atlanta plays Cards later on. Yes I expect an Atlanta win.
the point is thats just a taste of the parity web the NFL is spinning to push the Cards down.
the Cards could lose all their remaining division games plus the rest or even go 10-6 and still miss the play offs like last year. all the while, all the winning and losing needed for the Giants to get in could well happen LOL
the Giants could get in with an 8-8 record ......

One would think that an NFL team that finishes with a double-digit win total in the regular season should be fairly safe in knowing they qualify for the playoffs. Actually history shows that since the NFL expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978, there have been 20 teams that have posted a record of 10-6 or better who failed to join the postseason chase for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Nine of those teams have done so since 1990 when the playoff format increased to include six teams per conference. Two of those 20 teams finished 11-5 yet didn't make the playoffs. The Denver Broncos (pictured) posted an 11-5 record in 1985 which placed them one game behind the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC West. Denver lost out on the playoffs via tie breakers to the New York Jets and New England Patriots who also posted 11-5 records that season. The Jets entered the postseason as the first wild-card based on a better conference record than the Patriots or Broncos. New England trumped Denver for the second wild-card based on a better record among common opponents. Adding insult to injury for the 11-5 Broncos was the fact that the Cleveland Browns won the AFC Central that season with an 8-8 mark. The Patriots suffered a similar fate in 2008 when they finished 11-5 and missed the playoffs while the 8-8 San Diego Chargers won the AFC West. Although New England had the identical record as Miami and Baltimore, they lost out on the division crown to the Dolphins and the second wild-card spot to the Ravens based on conference records. - See more at: http://www.profootballhof.com/histor....gWKXEEiG.dpuf
but in the end youll just believe it all as random chance......
Could? I thought you said the Giants were a lock! What's wrong buttercup, your "guaranteed" Giants are going to the playoffs not looking so good anymore?Quote:
