2014 NFL Season

[Thrilla]

I said on Facebook that the game would make or break the 49ers season, so I'm guessing the season is over for us now, no way we beat the Cards and Seahawks and they both manage to slip up enough to keep us alive in the division.

Ray Rice has won his appeal and has been reinstated. I'd be very surprised if a playoff contending team signed him at this point. Rice is an asshole but beyond that the media shitstorm would be the last thing you'd want on a playoff push.

I bet someone signs him in the offseason though, unfortunately.

this better be the end of goddell.

How in the hell has he been reinstated? Guess AP will be back too then. Fuck it, let's see if Rae Carruth wants to come out of retirement and play at this point when he gets released on parole.

double jepordy essentially. You cannot suspend someone then suspend him for longer because people were upset he wasn't suspended longer. this is a textbook example of why you wait for due process, you fuck it up the first time you can't just mulligan and say "this one is for realz though".

don't get me wrong, ray rice is a scumbag and deserved a year off, but this was a buttfumble by the commish and had no chance of not being overturned.

[Lineker]

Question now is who pipes up first and takes him.

[Szumi]

Dallas or Oakland.

Minnesota?

I hope not, I did one of those "which team should you support" things yesterday (btw I don't really have a team) and it said the Vikings!

[TCO]

People have worse things and gotten welcomed back into the league with open arms, so I definitely see him gettings signed soon. He'd instantly upgrade almost any backfield too, so somebody will take the PR hit.

Early rumors are Indianapolis. The only team that absolutely won't sign him is Baltimore, but one of the other 31 certainly will.

Really weird football Sunday for me. First time pretty much since I've been watching football that the Giants are mathematically eliminated from any sort of playoff contention with 5 games to play. Even the 4-12 team in 2003 was alive until 3 weeks out. Beyond that, the next 4 games are against teams who won't be in the playoffs either...so it's completely meaningless football really. About the only consequence to these games is deciding which players/coaches stay or go for next year.

At this point I'm hoping the NFC East race can at least stay tight until Week 17 so the Giants will at least play a meaningful game trying to spoil the Eagles' hopes. Who knows if it'll come to that though.

Donovan McNabb is a wonderful commentator. He starts off by saying that the Steelers need to get back to the old days of a Jerome Bettis type running attack up the middle but then says that when you have a player like Le'Veon Bell you have to adapt your gamplan to his running style.

Ten minutes later: "Le'Veon Bell reminds me of Jerome Bettis".

As an Eagles fan, I can tell you McNabb will contradict himself many times. He's a terrible color commentator

[Meacon Keaton]

It's because he's about as smart as a pile of bricks.

[gunnar hendershow]

Ravens doing their best to not be blowing out San Diego at halftime.

[Thrilla]

Steelers messing up my accumulator :-/

[Berober]

Manziel time, heeeere we go...

[Dan]

St. Louis are winning 45-0 against Oakland... what?!

[Mofoticon]

Hoyer left the Browns no choice....Manziel is the teams QB now and going forward.

First drive...touchdown Johnny.
