It's half a loss and half a win.  Fortunately the league goes by percentage.  So if you're 7-4 & tie, it's 7.5 - 4.5.  divide 7.5 by 12  [total win number / (total win number + total loss number)].  That's what they'll go by (for everything)

Garoppolo injured on a sack against the Dolphins and Brock Purdy is coming in to play QB for the Niners. Fins up 7-3 early.

I'm going to go throw up.  TWICE.

[Xeliou66]

Bengals up 7-3 on the Chiefs, good game early on.

Niners up 10-7 on the Fins.

Seahawks up 14-10 on the Rams.

Chargers up 7-0 on the Raiders.

[Xeliou66]

Niners take a 17-10 lead on the Bengals just before halftime, Purdy doing a solid job in place of Jimmy G, the Niners have a very talented team.

Bengals up 14-10 on the Chiefs, Chiefs just stopped them in the red zone though, very exciting game between 2 good teams. 

Seahawks up 14-13 on the Rams.

Chargers and Raiders tied at 10. 

[AimingforYoko]

San Fran is going to be a verrry tough out in the playoffs. The Vikings definitely don't want to see them.

[Salacious Kitty]

Chiefs just took the lead. Let's see how Cincy responds. 

Tua looks like crap today.

Tua looks like crap today. 

Fixed it for you!

All joking aside, Tua has done great.  While exceeding expectations, everyone still has a ways to go.  This wasn't a surprise.  When facing a tough team and/or a team inside the cold elements, this was expected.  The game is not over yet. I sorta hope Jimmy G's week isn't either.  He was never going to outduel Brady, but I was waiting for that matchup the whole year.  One of several reasons I hate the schedule makers.

Well, if Jimmy G were to have out performed Tom, that's due to the Niners defense being more dangerous than this season's Bucs squad

[Salacious Kitty]

It's not that cold. Maybe 60. Tua has no excuses. Niners D just better than usual today, although they just gave up a big un. 

Anyone see the Raiders pull off the flea flicker? It was great! 

[Xeliou66]

Both the Fins/Niners and Bengals/Chiefs games are great. Very close games, the Bengals just can’t score a TD in the red zone right now, so the Chiefs are up 4, and the Niners are up 6 on the Fins, Tua hasn’t looked good but the Fins are still alive.

[Lamb18]

Yes! Bengals.scored!

[JTMacc99]

Come on Rams. Try not to stink like you have all year. 
 

ETA: 🤦‍♂️

[Lamb18]

I wonder who's going in for Garrapolo. I saw he is out of the game with a hurt foot.

Mahomes is mad after the missed field goal.  He took his helmet off and slammed it to the ground.

If Kansas City loses, at least it will not be due to being unable to hold a decent lead against a team that is the sole reason for the Browns longest winning streak since the Ravens became an NFL thing

Purdy. He's actually better than Jimmy G.

[Xeliou66]

Seahawks beat the Rams in LA, Geno Smith leads a game winning drive and the Seahawks get the win and the Rams season continues to be a dumpster fire.

What? No one is prettier than Jimmy G!

(sorry.  Low-hanging fruit I could not resist)

I swear one of Joe Burrow’s audibles was either “muffin top” or “Rocky Top” and since I can’t think of any reason why he would go with “Rocky Top”, I’m just going to go with “muffin top”.  I can’t remember if the play was successful.

[Carey]

How bout them Dolphins!  Looks like Csonka, Mercury and company are drinking now for sure...for a whole new reason tonight!!

[Xeliou66]

Bengals get the win over the Chiefs 27-24, great win for the Bengals, Burrow was excellent and the Bengals moved the ball well, Perine with over 100 yards rushing in place of Mixon, and the Bengals defense got enough stops to get them the win.

Niners beat the Fins, great win for the Niners playing without Jimmy G for most of the day, their defense shut down the Dolphins offense for the most part and they have a very good team.

[Fukui San]

Did Tua get hurt at the end or was the game just out of reach? Skylar Thompson finished up.

Apparently he suffered an ankle injury towards the end of the game.

This day has been very awesome!

[Xeliou66]

Chargers lose to the Raiders - embarrassing loss for the Chargers, they are just so unpredictable and impossible to trust, and they always seem to shit the bed against bad teams and lose games they shouldn’t lose. No excuse for that loss.

[Salacious Kitty]

Chargers aren't that good. And the Raiders are finally playing decent on both sides of the ball. The trick play ended up being the game winner. 😀

[mojoween]

Jimmy G’s foot is broken and he is out for the rest of the season.  Can their rookie do just enough to keep the offense above water while the D does what it does?

[Salacious Kitty]

Jimmy G suffered a broken foot and will have season-ending surgery.

JINX! (for Jimmy G, too)

[Lamb18]

I was just about to post about Jimmy G.

[Xeliou66]

That fucking sucks for Jimmy G and the Niners. He was having a strong season and they were prime Super Bowl contenders, now I’m not sure how far they can go, Purdy looked okay today but I don’t see him leading them on a playoff run. I hate injuries to star players and I really feel for Garoppolo and the Niners.

[mojoween]

So not only do I have to watch stupid Dallas AGAIN (yes, have to.  It’s not optional) it’s at their stupid stadium.  I hates them I HATES them.

[Salacious Kitty]

I despise the Niners (this is common in Raider Nation), but I don't wish injury on anyone. I'll miss his pretty face.

The Raiders were actually favorites in the game since the Chargers are decimated by injuries. It was closer than I thought it would be.

[Lamb18]

After two drives, it's 3-0 Colts. Colts holding up well so far.

[emma675]

Aw, Jimmy G. That sucks, especially this close to the playoffs.

[Lamb18]

Colts up 10-7.

[Lamb18]

This game is more interesting than I thought it would be. I was going to turn it off at halftime if it was a big Dallas blowout, but it's staying close so far.

[JTMacc99]

I’m currently 12-1 vs the spread in my office pool. (Seahawks not covering.)

I’m perfectly okay with losing this game but only if the Colts somehow win.

[Salacious Kitty]

Apparently, I am the Cowgirls' good luck charm. Turn on game. BAM! TD. I'd best change the channel before they score again. 

Hang in there, Colts! 

[DrSpaceman73]

Refs suck this game.  Lamb was down. Obvious holding on the run td right in the middle of the play.  No face mask against Dallas. 

Colts holding in it though. Which has been typical all year. They aren't getting blown out.  Games have mostly even close. 

[twoods]

Oh Colts, you were this close to keeping this game close.

[Xeliou66]

Big INT there for the Cowboys right before the half, Ryan has unfortunately been something of a turnover machine and I’m afraid he just doesn’t have it anymore, I think he needs to retire after this season. Cowboys score a TD on a Dak to Gallup pass, 21-13 Cowboys now. Good game but the Colts offense is outmatched by the Cowboys defense. 

[Johannah]

To go back to earlier today...

The Browns defense and special teams scored every Browns points.  Zippo for Watson and offense.

Sad for Jimmy G and hope Lamar fares better.  Didn't expect the Ravens to pull that out without Lamar and got scared that they left 30 seconds on the clock when the Broncos only needed a field goal.  I've seen that go south too often.

[Lamb18]

Dallas ahead of the Colts, 21-13, at the half.

[Lamb18]

Colts scored a touchdown but muffed the 2 point conversion. So now it's 21-19.

[DrSpaceman73]

I'll take a loss because the season is over and helps the colts draft. 

But the refs this game are horrendous and nfl rules stupid. 

No int?  Hands were under the ball. No different than end of the half play. 

Then the colts get a penalty on a return that didn't exist because it was incomplete. But the penalty still counts. 

F*** This game. 

[DrSpaceman73]

[Xeliou66]

And this game is over as Ryan throws another pick and Pollard has a TD run a couple of plays later. The Cowboys are rolling right now and have a really strong team on both sides of the ball, their defense is especially dangerous.

Ryan is just washed up I’m afraid, I’ve always been a fan of him as he’s the best Falcons QB ever, but he needs to retire, he just doesn’t have it anymore and is turning it over a lot. He’s had a strong career with many great years in ATL, it’s just a fucking shame he didn’t win Super Bowl 51.

[Lamb18]

This game is getting out of hand. Dallas intercepted the ball again and just scored again. It's now 40-19. Colts put up a good fight but they couldn't sustain it.

With the Kansas City loss, the Vikings stand alone with the second best record in the NFL. At least until next Sunday. 

P.S. Dallas just intercepted the ball again.

Edited December 5, 2022 by Lamb18

[DrSpaceman73]

And then the colts just blow it all in the 4th quarter.  

But that also was not defensive pass int.

Ryan has missed simple throws tonight and doesn't seem to have any velocity on some of them. 

[twoods]

This is just ugly at this point. I hope they make the permanent decision and not play Matt Ryan anymore. I know some of the turnovers werent his fault but his throws don’t look very good. What a waste of Jonathan Taylor’s talent.
Cowboys showboating. I can’t wait until they do their usual choke job in the playoffs. 

Edited December 5, 2022 by twoods

[Carey]

What a very lovely football game!  I guess the Colts were content in keeping in 517 year-old Matt Ryan to run up that turnover total.

It sounds crazy, but when we read Internet content that Jeff Saturday gets kicked out in favor of the 2nd interim HC Curtis Painter, it's a non-sober plan come true!

[Salacious Kitty]

Sorry, it's my fault. Every time I have tuned in to check the score, a Cowboy is running the ball into the end zone. 

The Colts? They have issues.
