OKAY
in 2 words or less, can someone here explain how Dah'Bears won last night?
they were losing 24 to -9 in the late 3rd quarters, so I fell asleep!
I guess Vegas and the NFLsBets.con won as well?

at least I finally had more that 6 hours of straight sleep since October!

and about this bestest QB debacle,
Marino and Montana were sacked less than Elway.
OH, Elway was a brief cartoon character on the stimpsons TV show
and runs several used horse shops located in the Denver, Co area.

The Rams aren’t all that, or at least didn’t display much, they simply let the Panthers stay in the game, and escaped because…THEYRE THE PANTHERS! That Panthers team lost against the Bucs just last week when they should’ve been able to knock out their opponent instead of hoping the Saints would do it for them and back-in.

The NFC South... smh. Are they not that good or are so evenly matched that they all were close to .500 but not over?

Panthers were one back pedaling step away from a game winning INT. I forget who dropped, Puka knocked it out of his hand in the end zone, that ball near the end of the game but if he'd back pedaled instead of jumping for the ball I believe he would have got it easily.

But it doesn't matter. I'd rather not have a below .500 team in the playoffs even though I was rooting for them.

If you were expecting the Bears-Packers game to be over before the fat lady sang, you weren't paying any attention when they did it in their last match up.


Packers players before the game yesterday: "I hope they don't do it to us again"

Packers players after the game yesterday: "They did it to us again"

I'm largely going to be missing today's games, I'll be on the road for 8 to 10 hours driving my daughter to college and then returning home.

Throw in the fact, that I'll be driving my other daughter to work this coming week at 3:00am also means my bed time will shift to an earlier time. My truck is going into the shop and the projected turn around time is a week, so three people and one car means I turn into a taxi for my daughter and wife this week

Ouch. AM sports radio may be your friend. You should be able to find some of the games.

Nobody said BB isn't great, or a candidate for the mythical Mr. Rushmore of coaches, but in such debates, it's fair to ask what he brought to, or did to change the game, aside from winning…and controversies, real and imagined?

Bill Belichick brought many innovations, like camouflaged/deceptive zone defenses, and was renown -- as juxtaposed to the Bill Walsh innovation of scripting the 40 plays according to a set game plan -- of making unscripted half-time adjustments to the pregame game plan. His ability to create a "winning culture" (i.e., the Patriots' way and "do your job") rivals those cultures implemented by Vince Lombardi and, in another sport, John Wooden. So, he is certainly among the best to ever to coach.

Williams is a 4th quarter QB, but I didn't expect it to be that close or dramatic. To be fair, the Packers had two missed FGs and one missed PAT.

Their real problem is the shoddy defense. Ultimately I don't think it's good enough to make it to the SB.

solution: she drives during the live action,
just pull over, switch and drive during the commercials, injuries, ref time outs, VAR, half time and 2 minutes warnings!

anyways
CBS NFLs' genius just now, "Lawrence never threw an interception since 2003 Thanksgiving dinner
fido caught a biscuit headed for the child's' table centerpiece.... "
OOOPS:
16-T.Lawrence pass short middle intended for 11-P.Washington INTERCEPTED by 45-S.Thompson at BUF 48. 45-S.Thompson to JAC 33 for 19 yards (16-T.Lawrence).

Well, just like I expected. Really close game, but the JAX defense carrying Allen almost into the endzone is something you done see every day. Stupid move. Leaving 1 min on the clock wasn’t the smartest call either.

Allen wants this more than ever and this year is his window. Chiefs are not in the playoffs, so they can’t kick the Bills out in the championship game as usual. I don’t think they’ll make it though.

So far I’m 100% with my predictions, with the first two games much closer than I expected. I really want the Niners to win now, but I’m afraid the Eagles will cheat their way to a win with a gazillion false stars in tush pushs which the refs won’t see. :(
