QuoteWell, that was an abysmal showing from Denver. The injuries didn't help. But some of Manning's decision making was completely off-kilter. Terrible game.
Are you blind ? They are fantastic - 90% of NFL uniforms are hideous - that is something you could actually wear on the street.Originally Posted by Crosby87
Delighted with the Patriots last night - they hold the tie-breaker over each of the teams winning the other 3 AFC divisions - Bengals / Broncos and now Colts. Still have to visit Green Bay and San Diego over the next 3 weeks though so plenty of work still to do.
I know its not the NFL but the CFL season is reaching its conclusion - I find this form of the game pretty entertaining even though your average NFL fan would scoff at the very idea. Next Sunday sees the conference Finals with the Alouettes from Montreal travelling to divison winners the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at 6.00pm irish time. After that it is the West Final as the Edminton Eskimos travel to the 15-3 Calgary Stampeders at 9.30pm. The Alouettes hammered the BC Lions last evening to secure the East Final berth while the Eskimos won a hard fought semi final against the best named team in Pro sports - The Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Overall it was a great weekend of football - except for Bama winning of course - nobody wants that.

CFL is only 3 downs right? God the Giants would have even more 3 and outs.
Those packers unis looked like cat vomit!
Bonnie I was looking at the standings today at work...with KC getting an automatic win this thurs vs Oakland, and the Steelers winning mon night....if Denver were to slip up vs a decent Mia team that had the extra days to prepare....you might be on the outside looking at the playoffs this time next week. Hard to imagine, but denver could win 10 games and miss out....
Yeah CFL is only 3 downs.
I remember when I first watched it back in the day on NASN (about 10-15 years ago) wondering why they kept punting at 3rd. I figured they didn't have confidence or ability to play another down and kick. Oops.
I think we'll still make the playoffs but not as easy as I would have hoped. Roll on Thursday and the Crunch.
What year was it when the winner of some division had a terrible record that was worse than some 3rdplace teams in other divisions?

2010 Seattle won the NFCW with 7-9 record. They went on to beat the Saints(the defending champs) in wildcard round, the breakout game for beastmode.
"U've figured how to work the Google on the internet machine"
Cheers.
Wahey to Oakland!
Need the Chiefs to lose that one. Phew. Back on track.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Yeah that surprised me to say the least. Old friend justin tuck calls a time out that may have saved the day for oak.
So any thoughts lads?
Colts plus 15 vs Jags?
Jets and Buff playing in Detroit?
Arizona. Seattle needs it so much more.
Can the Fins stay in the game vs Denver? Don't forget Bons, next week is in KC. Mia has the players to man up vs Peyton. (One on one I mean). Then again...
REAL I thought you were going to give picks every week? What happened?
Come on lads, some NFL talk please.
Jeez I meant Colts MINUS 15. Sorry.
Ach I had the Falcons tonight so that bet went south quickly - I don't like putting up picks without putting reasons for same and just didn't get a chance the last two Sundays. FWIW - i did Falcons, Chicago, Denver and SF all to beat the handicap. I had Washington last week at home to the Buccs - another disaster!
The Broncos are laying another egg tonight at home against the Dolphins. Time to recover yet mind. Pats did a number on the No.1 DEF in the NFL earlier.
Patriots @ Green Bay next Sunday at 9.25 - CLEAR THE SCHEDULE!
Suffering from a bit of disapointment as well today as a BIG BC Eagles fan - huge chance went by the wayside last night against FSU - big opportunity missed. Great season overall from BC - beat USC and Va Tech and hopefully get past 'Cuse next week to secure a 7 win year.
As for the rest of the NFL tonight - the Sky Scheduler should be shot showing Den/Mia over the Cards@Seahawks, Cards struggling to get something going on offense. Thank the lord for Gamepass.
Colts got past the handicap but but by all accounts they were muck.
Keeping an eye on the CFL - the Tiger Cats are into thier second straight Grey Cup after an entertaining win against Montreal - had it on the laptop but was struggling with kids / trying to watch the Pats. 40-24
You a Giants fan Crosby yeah ?
It's been some recovery from Peyton.
Some weekend next weekend: Us v Chiefs and Pats and Packers at Lambeau. Juicy.

Miami kicker tried a rabona at the end there. Madness.

Outrageous catch by NY Giants wide receiver for a TD. Odell Beckham I believe. Don't have immediate access to a video of it, but worth the watch.
It's good...
It has spawned some memes...

Its weird that people are putting it over the Tyree catch in the Super Bowl. Nice grab but basically meaningless. Says a lot about how inaccurate Eli has become.
Great slate of games on Thanksgiving. For once.
Yeah. I'm not getting the love for the catch. Nothing more than a cricket fielder is expected to do.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Terrible day so far football wise.
Jets fans, meet Mark Sanchez.
One of the two essentially gets eliminated tonight. Not in record, but in spirit.
Niners Hawks.
Hopefully it will be a decent game. The first two were awful.
Ok so thanksgiving had 3 games the media (and me) were drooling over and all 3 were unwatchable.
NFL has to make up with.....
A preview of the Super Bowl at 439 on Sunday. Can Aaron possibly beat the Brady Bunch at home? No one thinks so.
But I will say this: If Green Bay gets worked at home maybe its time to give up on them.
Final Score NE 31 GB 13
I'm LOVING that prediction Crosby. Hard to bet against GB at home though.
Steelers, Giants, Ravens and Colts all to beat the handicaps tonight - about 12/1
Jags are so bad they make the Giants Offense look functional.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Christ the Steelers again
How in the name of God did Kansas lose to to Oakland?
