That was a fumble by Josh Dobbs but just Raider things I guess.

They must've thought the penalty gave them enough for the first or automatic first, right? Because that may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 

That is just so, so Browns.

And of course, Kittle doesnt get a catch in the second half and doesnt get the record. Got the victory tho!

I was watching the Dolphins game and marked so hard as that play unfolded, especially when he totally did Gronkowski. I thought the Fins played pretty well throughout, besides a typical lack of offensive line coverage for Tannehill and Haack.

I do love it when we beat the Patriots though. It brings joy to my disappointment-trained heart.

Suck it yinzers.

Yay Eagles lost

Also, Denver really needs to just re-boot. We did this whole 7-9/8-8/9-7 cycle in the early 90's and in the early 2000's and we're on pace for it again over the next few years. Cut Keenum, suffer the cap penalty, because it was a stupid signing in the first place. I said at the time it was lame and we should have gone with Bridgewater, but Elway continues to not know a quarterback from a hole in the ground. Vance Joseph should have been fired last year. I'm usually anti-one year coaching changes, but it was abundantly clear that he is so far over his head that he's underwater in the Mile High city. The concept of football seems as foreign to him as Latin. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but a mediocre-to-poor defensive coordinator should not ever be given a head coaching job. It's a shame to see Von Miller wasted on such a poor defensive design. If Wade Phillips was still our DC, maybe they'd still be good enough to make up for the ineptness of the offense and Joseph, but he's not, which means scoring points would be ideal. While you have teams throwing up 30 or 40 points on a weekly basis, we score 24 points and consider it a "shoot-out".

Pretty sure it was called a dead ball penalty, so the field goal didn't count. They didn't have an option.

That makes much more sense.

I figured we'd play a close game with KC and lose since KC had the best player out there in Mahomes. I did not expect for the defeat to feel so crushing.

Eric Weddle officially played his way out of being on the team next year today.

Is this real life? We just beat the Rams. We are good! 😮 

[LL!]

Amari Cooper did pretty well today. 

[Lineker]

And it riles me every week.

I'd like to thank the Bears for containing Goff and the Rams, so my one playoff fantasy team has hope.

Dolphins fans, y'all still aren't making the playoffs.  Even if you do, it's a six seed getting blown out in the Wild Card.  Enjoy your week 14 Super Bowl.

Rapaport is an idiot. McKenzie had one excellent draft and like, four good picks overall. He's bad on draft day and excellent on contracts. I'm thankful for what he did for the Raiders but it's time to try something new.

[Your Mom]

So do I watch the game tonight and actively root against Russell Wilson or do something else and just hope for the best?

I'm used to not making the playoffs and the Dolphins haven't been a great team in decades. We also have the unenviable task of playing the Patriots twice every season...but I do enjoy how we're making a habit of beating the Patriots in Miami. Tannehill is 4-0 against the Patriots at home and Brady's worst road record is against the Dolphins (7-10) so we grab the crumbs we can from spending the last decade stuck in a division with a team we hate who have been annoyingly good.

 

9-7 MIGHT make 6th to buy us the one more game before we most likely get turned over. We have the ability to beat the Bills away, even in frozen January. Vikings will be tough. Jaguars are beatable this season though. 10-6 is extreeemely unlikely. 9-7 is too to be fair.

That said, there are finally some good seeds taking root. Minkah's really good. Kiko's a great tackler against runners, Howard's a properly quality player. Stills is a decent receiver. Drake is looking good alongside Gore (hopefully another couple of years out of him).

We really really need a stronger offensive line and some better defensive coaching. Also, fewer injuries would be nice. We spent the second quarter of the season back on random third string linemen being played out of position to fill the gaps.

[VerbalPuke]

That Lions game boring as shit. I’ve never been less enthused for a win.

[gunnar hendershow]

Need a grayscale option on my TV when the Seahawks wear these jerseys.

You're halfway home. I'm way more invested in this than I thought I'd be.
