Steve Smith please never change. Just as well the Ravens have Tucker or he could have cost them points there.

RB meltdown in 321...

 

[RavenBish]

get Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis and every coach on this team the fuck outta here

Called it!

 

[RavenBish]

Marvin just called a timeout so Baltimore could have more time to look at a play they then challenged and got overturned.

It's beyond parody at this point.

 

[RavenBish]

he just declined a holding penalty letting Tucker attempt a 57 yard FG.

I mean, my God, he's been a head coach for 13 years now.

 

[TomPNE94]

Tucker has got me 16 points in the first half

You have to wonder why Fisher left Goff out so long. Looks very good today.

 

[kieran_vale]

That is some pitiful work on D from the Jags.

Biggest interest in these early games prior to us playing the Jets is I would really love to see the Browns get their first win of the season. Their fans deserve something good happening.

Seems every time ever see the Bengals Mike Nugent is missing some chip shot kick at goal like that PAT he's just missed. Says a lot that they tolerate this type of thing so much.

 

[TomPNE94]

Osweiler that was absolutely disgusting

 

[Bobbin']

Texans fans booing Osweiler.

He's just thrown quite possibly the worst pass I've ever seen

 

[TomPNE94]

Haha that is SO Browns

 

[kieran_vale]

Oh Cleveland...

There's no way they don't go 0-16 isn't there.

The look on Harbaugh's face whenever a decision goes against his team will never get old.

Fancy their last chance is against the Bengals but doesn't look good.

For the most part the Pats have looked like utter garbage in this half but somehow level. Will happily take that.

Brady looks like this knee injury is bothering him a lot. I'd be tempted at some point to get Jimmy G in there. On the plus side Malcolm Mitchell is looking like he could end up being a really good player for us.

Just need the Pats for £110. Please please please win

I'd be more confident of your chances of winning your bet Tom if it weren't for the fact our kicker seems to have the yips right now. Missed a pretty simple chip shot at the end of the half to put us in the lead. I know most kickers outside of Bailey and Tucker are struggling but it's worrying as it's going to cost us.

 

[kieran_vale]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we seriously got lucky with Revis leaving us for the Jets. He just got abused on that TD drive by Edelman and Mitchell.

Our defence likely ripped to shreds again tonight. Surely have to pretty win out the season now to make the playoffs as the North champs.

Half the starters on D are still missing, at this point im hoping Michael comes off good and we sustain some long drives to keep the D off the field.

Some of the recent SNF games have been fantastic - Seahawks vs Cardinals, Eagles vs Cowboys and Chiefs vs Broncos all great in their own way. I thought last night's game was the best of the season. Fair play to Kubiak for going for the win instead of guaranteeing the tie, thought he should have thrown it on 4th down though, there was slim to no chance of McManus being able to hit that 62 yarder in those conditions. I hope all three of the AFC West teams make it to the playoffs, they are more deserving than the other wildcard contenders, it's just a brutal division.

Fuck off m8

Can we stop the season now please? (with the Dolphins in a PO place)

Whisper it but Rodgers is playing really well right now, especially given the o-line changes and no running game. Defence has been a shambles the last few games too, since Dallas and Elliot dicked us.

After the Eagles opening drive the defense looked ominous again, but then turned it around to help us cling onto hopes of a division win. Overall a sound performance, hopefully Michael can come through and be an upgrade on Starks.

By the ridiculously high standards Rodgers has set himself I don't actually think he is playing that well. Still something off about him, especially with the deep ball. How much of that is to do with the route running of his WRs I don't know, but he is over throwing a lot of them. I've never seen him scramble so much as he has done this season as well, again, maybe the WR are just poor and can't break coverage but he is still the best QB in the league (even playing at his current level) and has the ability to put a ball into coverage that so few other QBs can do. Right now he doesn't seem willing to do it, or isn't seeing the pass, he ends up scrambling.
It was a pretty routine win last night and kept the Packers in the hunt, hopefully not down to the wire at Ford Field in week 17!

His scrambling is a legit weapon though, forcing DCs to think about a spy. Plus given theres no running game, quite possibly the worst in the league, and his receivers as a while arent as good as years past, he's playing really well - probably his best 4/5 game stretch in nearly two years. More throws are coming out quickly, more precise and that surely indicates more trust too. If Michael can somehow get an average running game together, i see us only getting better.

Issue is the defense though, and remains to be seen if the Eagles game was a one off, and i have my doubts.

Definitely the division is headed towards the final day, best time for divisional games for sure. i just hope we havent left it too late.

 

[Renegade]

Edelman, Woodhead, Beasley, what's the difference?

Got away with one there. One big offensive play to Dez, a very timely turn over on special teams, and a whole load of not a lot else. A zillion penalties and other assorted acts of dumbassery, and they haven't even really got the TNF excuse coming off Thanksgiving. Gifted by the Vikings' complete ineptitude on offense and special teams really. Still, finding ways to win on the road even when you're stinking up the place and stuff is what good teams do, right?

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Defense shows up.
Offense scared to do anything that might involve the ball going more than 5 yards in the air.
Lose a close one.

Rinse and repeat. See you next season.
