Cancelling Directv, throwing out season tickets and burning jerseys because of ANTHEM PROTESTS and yet supporting teams with domestic abusers, murderers/accidental killers and drug abusers is the DUMB

I believe it was a surface pro he threw, not an iPad.  Surface pros don't weigh as much.  And probably his best throw all night.  ...........             T

Why don't they close down the concession stands and bathrooms during the anthem so everyone is forced to stand up? Better yet, why doesn't every armchair asshole stand up at home during the anthem ins

Ok whatever here are the rest.

Five get in.  Feel like Vinatieri, Gates and Jared Allen are locks.  Do not feel like Luke Kuechly is a first ballot Hall of Famer.  Fred Taylor or Reggie Wayne either.  I’m 50/50 on Woodson, Suggs, Holt and Smith.  No real opinion on everyone else.

I disagree on Keuchly.  I think he is qualified to be first timer, but the fact that he retired early makes me think the voters might consider him a quitter and not vote him as a first timer.

No way is Eli a first timer, IMO.  He won two SBs, that's it.  He was a high end average QB all other times.

ETA. sorry abt the quadruple posts.  Stupid phone kept saying the post wasn't saved.

I was so sure the Rams defense was going to give away the game on that final Cardinals drive that I had just said something very unkind about them to my cat when, voila, interception.  I don't know what took so long to review, or why it was a "stands" rather than "confirmed" because that ball didn't move - he squeezed it like it was his sworn enemy's neck - but, whatever -- interception it is.  Whew!  (I fully expected this to be a lost season, but once they went on that win streak, I wanted a playoff spot.)

He retired due to concussions.   I hope that isn't held against him in an effort to hide concussions some more.

Eli is getting in just because he ruined the Patriots perfect season and his last name is Manning.   Which is kind of not fair.  I remember all the people who called him a failure and not being dedicated like Peyton was.   Was he a good player - yes.   HOF worthy - I don't think so.   

I think Suggs and Woodson make it.

Welp.  Rodgers just made history as the most sacked QB in NFL history. 🤣

Annnnddd....he just threw an interception.  🤣

Aaaannndddd he just got called for unnecessary roughness! 🤣

Annnnddddd the Jets are about to lose another game. 🤣 🤣 🤣

They're getting pummeled by the Bills 33-0. Just another week of ineptness from these losers.

 

Also, the Cowboys are getting their assed kicked by the Eagles 34-7. HA HA HA HA!!!!

There is a more competitive game FOX could switch to HINT HINT HINT.

I’m honestly surprised neither CBS nor FOX has switched from these ass-kickings.

Only so many games to switch to, although I know you meant wanting to see the Giants finally winning a game.  
 

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a week where they played as many games outside Sunday afternoon as they did on Sunday afternoon.  Two games on Wednesday, one on Thursday, three on Saturday, one tonight and one tomorrow night, leaving only eight of sixteen matchups in the traditional window.  And six of those were early games.  @mojoween, your favorite guy has the national Fox broadcast.

We have the twanging rubberband providing color commentary for the Vikings/GB game.

 

How does a twanging rubberband come out of Northern California?  Maybe when your face is surgically frozen, you just can’t get the words out.  What bothers me is not his delivery, but his banality.  A color guy should tell me something I don’t know about what I just saw.

I still listen to games called by Greg Olsen with interest. If he’s miffed that he was demoted to second-string, I can’t tell by listening.  He’s still the best color guy working right now.

He handled that with so much class, and I respect him for it.  Unfortunately, that's the nature of their business.  You can always get bumped for newer talent or star athletes.  Better to stay classy, then if the new person fails, you might just get back to where you were, but if not, you come out the other side showing what true class is.  

Why can't the Bucs play every game like they did today?  Good job, team!!

Saquon Barkley has 2000 yards in his first year as a Eagles. Amazing what a guy can do with a good offensive line. He would have a chance to break the singles season record next week vs the Giants but I don't know how much he plays with the division wrapped up and they would know how f they have a chance at the #1 seed by tomorrow. They need both Vikings and Lions to lose this week to even have a shot so its unlikely .

This was the most important win for the Vikings. If we lose next week, at least we will be #5 seed. 

If Vikings had lost today, then we'd be 13-3,and Packers 12-4. Then in week 18, if Vikings lose and Packers win, then both teams would be 12-4. Not sure who would be #5 and #6 in this situation.

If Washington wins tonight, then they will be tied with Green Bay. Not sure who would #6 and #7 seed here.

But for now the worst situation for the Vikings is #5, which is actually OK.

Terry Bradshaw fell into “Baker Baker Touchdown Maker” and someone needs to remind him that nickname was already claimed in the 80’s.

Speaking of Big Blue, Giants Twitter is apoplectic about them winning today and fuck that noise.  I never have, and never will be, in the “Suck for Luck” camp.  If you aren’t going to try, then don’t even suit up.  Just forfeit the game.

I'm with Michael Strahan -- the three hours* of enjoyment of watching them win the game is not worth the four years it's now going to take to get a QB.  They went from the first to fourth pick in the draft.  No, they shouldn't have thrown the game, they played like they should play, but I'm thoroughly irritated they finally figured out how to play a game when all it would do is hurt them.  That was Strahan's attitude, too, that he'll never encourage guys not to go all out, what he's irritated by is, damn, dudes, why did you wait until now?

*He got three hours; I got about two minutes.

I get that, but that’s basically saying that every game should be won.  They were in the New Orleans game, they were in the Carolina game and should absolutely have won that.  They were in the Pittsburgh game for a time.  Why does San Francisco get a pass for injuries but the Giants don’t?

Honestly if you look at the schedule, there are more close games than not.  So, disgruntled players bitching in the locker room aside, it’s not like they were laying down for ten weeks.

For the most part the Offense has played great all season. 

Maybe the duck on the field was their good luck charm!  I'm glad that someone was able to get it without hurting it.  

Between college & NFL football, the number of brawls we're seeing seems to be on the rise.  I saw one ref knocked down and another one bloodied.  C'mon, guys!  Pull yourselves together and act like you've been there before.

Over the past several years, the league moves 2 of the 14 games that have playoff implications to Saturday.  Three of those 4 teams need to play for playoff positioning, or for a chance to get into the postseason.  Though we'll see what Pittsburgh does.

To be honest, I think it's connected to Hard Knocks.  Fortunately the AFC North will not have to worry about this crap for the next several years.

Not that it really matters for the most part, but there's a chance that Baltimore might end up being favored by 20 or more.  Probably a game in which one could give the league a pass for scheduling it before the game at Acrisure.  Usually those games are played simultaneously.

The number has risen (on more than one occasion) for Cincinnati.  I think I'd put it at 50/50 for their opponent to try to win the game.  Not that it really matters for the most part.

I think the only game of the 16 that matters a ton is the SNF one.  FWIW, Denver has to win to get in, but they don't need any help to make it.  Helps that they're now favored to win by a double-digit margin.  Tampa may have to win to make it in.  I'd be shocked if the outcome resembled the game at AT&T Stadium.  They should be okay, but IMO their head coach will be out of work if both they and Carolina lose.

Not the greatest slate of games in Week 18.  There may be a pretty decent chance I pass on the NFL this weekend.  Well until the game between Minnesota & Detroit

Holeeeee fuck this cat singing the SSB at M&T Stadium is terrible.

I know that no one on earth is making me watch any football game, but I am getting sick and tired of being forced to watch Baltimore.

Tell me about it.  I have to watch them twice a year because they are in my team's division but this year I've seen them a lot more than usual.  And it's not enjoyable.  I don't like any player on their team.  Even though Cincinnati is a divisional rival I like Joe Burrow and J'Marr Chase.  But I absolutely detest every Raven.

I guess we all think alike.  Though I do have to admit if they barf up their soul against the Chiefs (again) I think I'll definitely barf out my heart

When they play each other all I can do is hope they just beat the hell out of each other so they will be weakened against their next opponent.  

I know it's early and there are still two playoff spots to be determined but as long as the Super Bowl winner isn't the Rams Chiefs or Ravens I could live with it.

Yeah. I can't blame you.  Other than the reasons I've thought of in the past (and maybe mentioned), I probably will sleep very well with the Chiefs beating Baltimore again.  Not too common to root for a division rival, including Cincinnati and definitely the not as new anymore other team from the Buckeye state.

Speaking of Baltimore, really several of the fans, a lot of crying to where they said that the Steelers/Bengals game should have been the first one.  From the same area, you'd hear crickets when it comes to how they maybe should not have had a Week 14 bye followed by a Week 15 game against the Giants.

To be fair, the league went off of what they were sort of praised for a decade and a half ago: Finding a solution over the Polian Rule.  So when they did away with 16 games in the regular season finale, that was a surprise.  The AFC North games should definitely have been at the same time

This game was over pretty much before it started and you already lost Flowers to injury, why the hell were Henry and Jackson playing this late in the game? 

It sucks that Barkley won't get a chance to break the rushing record but I get why the Eagles aren't going to play their starters tomorrow. Rest ( they had a week 5 bye and have played 13 straight) and the risk of injury are to great to risk it.  They were a mess at the end of  last year and probably were not winning anyway but they played AJ Brown in a meaningless game and he got hurt.

Why? So if the Steelers lost then the Ravens could have rested their starters?  Oh boo hoo. And yes I know their Pro Bowl wide receiver Flowers got hurt in the first quarter. Dems the breaks.  And while I am on my anti Raven rant I know Lamar.Jackson is great blah blah blah the cockiness he showed after that  one touchdown really irks.

Ok the Pittsburgh SSB singer was galaxies better than Baltimore’s.

The M&T Stadium announcer did a moment of silence for Jimmy Carter and New Orleans.  Pittsburgh only did New Orleans.  Wonder if it’s because Baltimore is so close to Washington?

TJ Watt took his hat off and was standing on the sidelines in short sleeves.  Unknown Bengal was in a winter hat, balaclava and giant stadium coat.
