The NFL Thread

No, if he ever has to bench a quarterback for bad play (which he won't because Brady), he takes them into the back room and steals their soul through their mouth, leaving them desiccated husks.

And here I thought Brady was responsible, pulling a Space Jam and leeching the talent from his backups; who look promising until they go elsewhere. And his recent opponents, who put together Pro Bowl level games against the Patriots and fall apart immediately afterwards, re: Ravens, Seahawks, Bills, Jets, Colts (one out of four).

I'm just biding time until Jimmy Garoppolo takes over. @_@

brady's more an elizabeth bathoroy type with the back ups. it's why he's still so handsome

Q: How do you lose a game where your #1 WR burns Darelle Revis for 100+ yards, your #2 WR burns Antonio Cromartie for 100+ yards, and your defense holds Brandon Marshall to under 50 yards receiving?

A: Be the Jacksonville Jaguars

This team just knows how to lose in the most humiliating ways possible.

Dion Lewis done for the year with a non-contact ACL tear. Freaking awful; kid was a lot of fun to watch. That Dallas touchdown was something to see.

It's a shame because the kid tore shit up at Pitt. He just can't stay healthy.

In other injury-related news the AFC South continues to drop in quality with Andrew Luck out for 2-6 weeks with a kidney laceration.

Maybe Ryan Grigson should stop putting Colts jerseys on traffic cones he picks up on the way home. At least Pep Hamilton is gone; the way defenses are playing, asking any quarterback to consistently execute seven step drops with deep developing routes is going to RGIII any quarterback not named Tom Brady.

Also, did we ever get confirmation of broken ribs for Luck, or did that get swept under the rug?

If Grigson did admit to it I haven't seen it.

Lots of silly endings today, but none sillier than Jaguars over Ravens.

I don't think anything I'd say to describe that ending would do it justice.

EDIT: I don't know if Pats-Giants wins the wild and silly ending title over Ravens-Jaguars but if not it's pretty damn close

And that is all she wrote for the Bengals. Prime Time Andy Dalton, meet TJ Yates: Bengal Slayer. Down to the Patriots and Panthers, and up to Brady and Newton to drag their injury mutilated teams across the 16-0 finish line.

Well, it wasn't pretty but a win over a divisional rival in primetime is always good.

Gus Bradley should be sued for coaching malpractice. This is the second time where TJ Yeldon was running the ball well and then they get to first and goal and they give touches to a clearly inferior backup.

I hope Garropolo doesn't end up in a Brock Osweiler situation, but with how good Brady is playing, its probably going to be that way...

And now we have #Whistlegate, courtesy of freaking Rex Ryan wandering on the field during a snap, interfering with and obstructing the view of the line judge, resulting in an inadvertent whistle. Wiping a probable New England Touchdown and giving good field position to Buffalo on a miss, followed by a Bills touchdown that was clearly not a touchdown. Add in the usual holding and PI crap, and finished off by running down the clock by ruling Watkins inbounds and denying the Bills a final play. An officiating atrocity across the board.

Well, Johnny Football's time as a starter (and possibly, as a Cleveland Brown) ends after only 2 games. He's been demoted to third-string.

I sorta feel bad for him, but then again he DOES seem like a bit of a tool. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson and amount to something on another team.

Just when I thought the Eagles couldn't possibly get any worse, they provide the biggest Thanksgiving turkey of them all.

Chip HAS to go. End. Of. Discussion.

today I’m thankful for my last minute decision to start Stafford in fantasy

Tony Romo has a probable fracture in his clavicle, and is done for the season. As if the product on the field was not bad enough already. GFDI

Looks like the Seahawks are still the masters of scoragami (defined as the art of winning games by unique final scores. Today's Seahawks/Steelers game was the first 39-30 game in the history of the NFL. This means that the Seahawks have won one game by a unique final score in each of the past six seasons.

Welp, the Patriots got bumped off the unbeaten list. Carolina now stands as the last chance for 19-0 this year.

Help me Cam Newton, you're my only hope.

this week I am also thankful for the last minute start of Sammy Watkins in fantasy

Kick Six 2: The Kickening.

That has got to be the most Browns loss ever.

Truly, this game cannot be described as anything other than "Cleveland".

EDIT: And tonight's game cannot be described as anything other than "Detroit".

If this is how the week starts, bring on the Sunday slate.
