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?

It's looking really good, a win next week can tie up the conference never mind the division, I've barely watched most of the games this season but fingers crossed I'll be able to tune in for that one, I haven't watched a full Boy game since the first meeting though so I hope I'm not the jinx.

 

[.V.]

The Rams have extended Jeff Fisher for another 2 years

 

[kieran_vale]

Dumb franchises do dumb things I guess.

He surely must have pictures of Kronke or something like that you'd think.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Seen on the twittetrons: Jeff Fisher's agent is Marvin Demoff, father of Rams senior executive Kevin Demoff.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Snow.

 

[Bobbin']

Houston are just absolutely horrible to watch this season.

 

[kieran_vale]

Another missed PAT by Mike Nugent. He is the Jeff Fisher of kickers.

Solid half from the Pats, done a job against albeit modest opposition.

 

[RavenBish]

Either Andy Dalton is having an MVP-level performance or this Eagles defense is unspeakably bad - I know which seems more likely.

 

[kieran_vale]

Normally you wouldn't want to be restricted to FG's as much as we have today however given I don't think there was ever a danger of us losing this I'm pretty content that Gostkowski has had the chance to kick himself back into form. That will be crucial come playoff time.

[RavenBish]

Burfict back to his All-Pro form the last 3 weeks. The whole defense essentially mirrors his individual performance every week - he's so important.

and I like how everyone hates him.

Jeremy Hill continues to be a giant turd however, I'm going to swear very loudly if we give him a new contract - he's like a hippo on roller skates.

[Camborne Gills]

Tannehill? Business as usual then

 

[Destruction]

Some actual Tight End action in Pittsburgh.

 

[Anon]

Got to hand it to the Lions and this run they're on. We're back playing well but now face Seattle at Lambeau next week and likely have to win to keep pace.

I now eagerly await the injury report for next week, hoping Rodgers hammy rests up and there are are no new nasty surprises.

 

[Kim Mitten]

ermmmm.... I'm starting to get worried, the Lions are looking legit, still plenty of time to crush my dreams but right now this team is stepping up time and again. First time in 60 home games Brees didn't throw a TD really done a number on the whole Saints O. The D has got better and better with every game and Matt Stafford looks more and more assured with every game, no running game whatsoever but it just doesn't seem to matter.
Next up the Bears at home, just the kind of game the Lions lose, but maybe this time it will be different, after all the Lions are just half a game back from the 2nd seed in the NFC, I mean just what in the hell is going on!

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Impressive levels of ineptitude from the Jets tonight. Getting absolutely marmalised, at home, by a thoroughly mediocre Colts team.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Good. I hate the Jets almost as much as the Patriots.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Interesting watch if you've got 20 mins to kill

 

[TomPNE94]

Interesting watch if you've got 20 mins to kill

I must be very sad cos I really enjoyed that.

 

[RavenBish]

did not think Houston had a shot at Lane Kiffin but there we go.

 

[Craig]

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Looks fucken chilly.

(like proper chilly, not OMG it's 15C in Denver! from the other week)

 

[Craig]

It's -5 according to google. I'm getting flashbacks to Monday morning.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

did not think Houston had a shot at Lane Kiffin but there we go.

who wants Lane when you can have THA MAJOR

 

[RavenBish]

Bengals have activated their QB3, Jeff Driskel, to play wide receiver - hows your team's season going?

 

[kieran_vale]

Snow in Buffalo, perfect

Got to think today is Clevelands only legit chance of avoiding 0-16.

 

[RavenBish]

Browns are going 0-16 - makes the coaching call interesting because people don't seem to be apportioning blame to Hue Jackson but should a coach really survive this?

MIKE NUGENT MISSED XP - DRINK. Good of him to get it out the way early this week. He's made 1 of his last 6 (SIX) extra point attempts. Why are we not going for 2 every time by now?!

 

[Bobbin']

Has Osweiler just gone on to the field disguised as Andrew Luck?

 

[RavenBish]

Right on cue.

Browns announced as playing a game in London next year. Got to think of this being Roger's acid test to see if the Brits really will sell 80,000 tickets for anything he sends over.
