Seahawks 9 @ Cowboys 34 |
JeremyThe Cowboys are awesome. The Cowboys are struggling. The Cowboys are turning it around. The Cowboys suck. The Cowboys are finished. The Cowboys are back!Seriously, Mr NFL Commentator, it's enough already. | |
MattSeattle? I didn't know they still had a team. | |
SarahCream corn, anyone? | |
JonWith Hasselbeck back, maybe Seattle could play well. |
Cardinals 20 @ Eagles 48 |
JeremyLuckily we will be at one of 27 houses that actually get the NFL Network during this game. | |
MattK-War for MVP!!! | |
SarahThe Eagles are a poorly coached team. Wow. | |
JonSince most of you won't see this game, I'll just encourage everyone, including myself, to be thankful and to show that thanks in the way you live. |
Panthers 35 @ Packers 31 |
JeremyThere are a few teams in the league that have had the perception of them by national pundits swing wildly from week to week, and the Packers are one of them. They weren't missing Favre at all, then they "slumped", then they "struggled," then after one big victory they were "hot" and "the team to beat in the NFC North." Then one embarrassing loss after that and their season is "in trouble."Look people, the Bears and Vikings can't both win this game tonight, so a win would put the Packers tied for 2nd, one game back in the division. I don't think it's time to hit the panic button. | |
MattI have no idea if the Panthers are good or not, though I guess I could say the same thing about the Packers. | |
SarahWow. How embarrassing.... | |
JonThe NFC North is pathetic. |
Bears 14 @ Vikings 34 |
JeremyThis game means a lot more to the Vikings than it does to the Bears, which means they will lose it in some gut wrenching display of futility. | |
MattEven if the Vikings win, I'm sure it will be in a frustrating and unenjoyable way. | |
SarahWell are these two teams the only ones vying for the crappy NFC North or are the Packers going to try something? | |
JonI'm not optimistic, but Chicago has gotten worse since the last game and Minnesota is probably a bit better. |
Jaguars 17 @ Texans 30 |
JeremyI've really been phoning in these comments lately, and waiting until the last minute to do so. Has anyone noticed? | |
MattIt seems to me that both these teams should be better than they are. | |
SarahJust want to reiterate ... Happy Thanksgiving! | |
JonCyber Monday: Real phenomenon or logical sounding urban legend? Discuss. |

In honor of Thanksgiving (and since Alex already went off-topic) here is a clip from a classic Thanksgiving episode of WKRP in Cincinnati. Background info for the clip - WKRP Station Manager Arthur Carlson (played by Gordon Jump) has come up with a big Thanksgiving promotion involving 20 live turkeys, but keeps the details a secret from everybody (including his staff). For the full episode go here. |

How dumb are Packer fans who attend home games? Hmmm.... offense going for it on 4th and inches, they stand up and cheer the loudest they have all game. You should have to take some sort of intelligence test before you get the privilege to see your team at home. I know we've been over this before, but it's just plain embarrassing. I like how at 1st and goal Rodgers actually had to tell people to shut the f up. |

Not that I'm a coach, but why not go for it on 4th and goal? If you don't get it, Carolina has to start on the 1 instead of getting another huge kickoff return and starting close to mid-field. If you do get it, then hey touchdown and the worst Carolina can do is tie (save for a 2 point conversion). |
Alex - Ignorance is bliss to those uneducated 11/30/2008 @ 03:21:43 PM |

---|---|---|
Or why not call a pass on 2nd or 3rd down? Carolina sold out on the run every time, run the stupid play action pass that works 80% of the time for every team. To steal from the Bill Simmons rules of engagement, would you feel confident kicking a FG from the 1 yard line in a tie game with 2 minutes left in Madden? No, you'd go for the TD. Also, what exactly was Chillar covering on that Steve Smith catch? |

Not that I'm a coach, but I don't understand the Woodson move to safety. The man has been lights out at corner this year. The Vikings gameplan vs the Packers was just to concede that Bernard Berrian was a lost cause for a week. Also, maybe now it is time to at least start hooking up the panic button. Edit: The Packers will now be two games back, and if the Bears win they control the head to head tie breaker, so the Vikings would also essentially be 2 games back with 4 to play. The Bears can go a long way toward wrapping up the division tonight. |

Woodson was at safety due to injury. I actually am rooting for the Bears tonight. It is the best for the Pack. I agree with Sarah, go for it on 4th down. it's obvious your defense sucks. Packers need to win out, need a Bears win tonight, and and another Viking and Bear loss as well as beating the Bears at home. |

Did anyone see the phantom pass interference call that took an interception away from the Giants against the Redskins. Add that to the 2008 highlight real of "what is wrong with the refs this season" video tribute. The Packers have lost 4 games by 4 points or less. In other words, they are a play or two in 4 different games from possibly having 9 wins already. (Now don't be that guy/girl and say something like "well, they could easily have lost a bunch of other games besides that) |

Midway though the second quarter things looked bleak for the Vikings. The offense was sputtering and the defense was struggling to cover anyone. The only thing going for them was that they were leaving so many guys wide open it seemed to confuse Kyle Orton. Two third down stops followed by second chances via penalty, and a backbreaking run to the one yard line and it looked like it was going to be another season of wasted potential for the Vikings. Then the Vikings seized the game, and their season back, on an unbeatable 1-2 punch of lock-down defense and a perfectly timed bomb. The Bears had 4 shots from the one yard line to make the game 14-3 and take control of the NFC North, instead in perhaps one of the greatest 2 minutes and 9 seconds in team history, the Vikings found themselves takin' it back. |

I saw that same Favre play at the end of the game today. No thanks. You've got to be kidding. The NFL is full of close games and "should haves" and "could haves" but ultimately the Aaron Rogers version of the Packers need a flawless finish to have a winning record and an excellent finish to be .500. He certainly hasn't played terribly, but many games come down to a play here, a key first down there, and Rodgers isn't getting it done as well as Favre would be. The "look to the future" move was the right one 2-3 years ago, this year the Packers were built to win now, and you really have to have your fingers in your ears and eyes closed if you still think the Packers made the right move. 13-3 was likely a bit of a mirage last season, but there's no way Favre has this year's team in a position where they'll be lucky to be .500 either. |

I disagree with this statement 100%. Your premises are ok, but your conclusion is wrong (in my opinion). The Packers do not have the defense required to be a threat to a great offensive team (look at the Saints game). I don't necessarily think they are built to win now. Their offense consists of good receivers, a shaky O-line, questionable running backs, and a first year starting QB. That's not a win now formula, even with a good, veteran QB. Although, for the record, I do think the Packers would have a better record with Favre, I just don't think they would be Super Bowl contenders. |

Well, I don't think they would be Super Bowl contenders either. Nor is Rodgers the only problem, far from it. However, this is still much the same team as last year, and the Jets won 4 games last season, so it's not exactly crazy to conclude that Favre just has something, even if the numbers stack up, and even if Aaron is playing good ball, that Aaron doesn't. In hindsight, yes, perhaps this team isn't as "built for now" as it appeared to be back before the season. However, back before the season is when this decision was made. I stand by my "Hitting on 20" blackjack analogy, which I may or may not have made on here. I'm positive I did, but the search says no. Anyway, the gist is that hitting on 20 is stupid, and hindsight doesn't change that fact, even if an ace comes up. |

(Now don't be that guy/girl and say something like "well, they could easily have lost a bunch of other games besides that) Not to pick on Scott, because this is something we've all said about our teams in the past, but I think I'm putting forward a motion that starting next year, all commenters making allusions to the fact that some team is some number of plays away from being such and such a record, shall be required to go back and To me, it's been well established that this "one or two plays" phenomenon isn't really an exception, but the rule in the NFL. Besides, it only gets brought up when you're talking about how much better a team could be. I mean, not to pick on the Packers, but they were about 5 plays away from being 8-8 last year. And it's like that for teams all over. So yeah, I'm being that guy. |

The statement does serve to separate the "middle class" from the Detroit Lions class As a generalized statement it is pretty meaningless. If you can specifically point out the plays and there was at least a 50% chance that the play could've gone the team's way, then I think it's semi-interesting point. Like with Denver this year, which is a case of how much worse they actually could be at this point. |

Edit: It seems Alex and I were simultaneously typing essentially the same point. |

Well, only like 17% of the planet speaks English, and not all of those people are literate. | ||

Titans 47 @ Lions 10
Jeremy
There's a big push to get the crappy Lions off Thanksgiving. I disagree with those people. The Lions are a Thanksgiving tradition. Besides, they usually play pretty well on Thanksgiving and like 70% of the "marquee" matchups when the schedule is being made end up being crap fests anyway.Matt
The Titans are clearly no good anymore, but I think they can still hold of the Lions this week.Sarah
Happy Thanksgiving! Here's to the Lions getting their first win. Still not going to pick them.Jon
I enjoy watching football on Thanksgiving.
