Pretty good from Mallet there. At least he didn't oversleep for this one.

 

[Renegade]

I had no idea Mallett was starting for the Ravens, I was going to ride Jimmy Clausen to fantasy glory. Now my defensive play doesn't look so great.

 

[kieran_vale]

Nothing I've seen this first quarter has made me question my belief we lose this one. Just not got anything going at all. Already lost Vollmer for the game and likely the season given how the Pats have already ruled him out. Looks like another going to IR.

Only one bright thing is Fitz has been very off. His receivers are getting very open though so matter of time you would think before they connect.

How the hell is Weeden playing pro football!?

 

[kieran_vale]

I'm not sure how we are actually level in this but will take it anyway.

Been running a lot of trick plays on that drive.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Pittsburgh just turn to shite whenever they play Baltimore, if the Jets, Chiefs and Broncos win this week and they balls it up they're in huge trouble.

Still a lot of time though.

 

[kieran_vale]

Logan Ryan getting seriously picked on by Brandon Marshall now. No shame in that as he's a great receiver and had an excellent year. That said I do wonder if not having Safety help in McCourty today is really exposing him.

And now this is threatening to get ugly.

 

[Renegade]

What happened to schedule flexing this year? I haven't heard about any games being flexed for Sunday Night Football this season and Giants vs Vikings is an absolutely hideous game to have in prime-time on the penultimate week of the regular season. Couldn't they have flexed in Packers vs Cardinals or Patriots vs Jets?

Even at the start of the season Giants vs Vikings was a stinker on paper.

 

[kieran_vale]

Julio Fucking Jones!!!

 

[Renegade]

JULIOOOOOOOO

 

[kieran_vale]

Matty Ice you fucking clown.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Matty Ice is a myth.

When will Miami learn that Ryan Tannehill is the problem there and not anyone else. Stupid of them to give him a lucrative contract.

 

[kieran_vale]

Ravens up 2 scores on the Steelers. Some impressive throws from Mallet on that scoring drive. Hopefully he will eventually go on to show his undoubted talent. Just needs to combine that with better work ethic.

 

[Renegade]

Pittsburgh, what the fuck.

 

[kieran_vale]

Oh dear Pittsburgh!!

Edit - Make that not so oh dear. Late flag.

 

[Renegade]

Why don't you just run it from there? Jesus Christ.

 

[TheHatter]

I'm loving this Ravens game, how we could possibly do the double over the Steelers in a year where there's hardly any of the team left is beyond me.

Maybe taking that back, flag on the play...

 

[TheHatter]

Yep, spoke way too soon.

 

[Renegade]

Thank fuck.

 

[kieran_vale]

Gronk was fucking money there on that 4th and 9. Chance to level this up now after the 2 minute warning. Have no idea how.

 

[Renegade]

Eugh, the Patriots are no fun. Just let them have this ONE please. You have enough.

Also, no idea how the Panthers lost their perfect season to this crock of shite.

 

[kieran_vale]

Jets will likely still win this. Field Goal drive coming now even allowing for the fact our D has really stepped up second half.

And the Panthers streak almost over.

 

[kieran_vale]

What on earth were the Falcons doing there? Great kick by Graham though.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pats defer the kick off in OT. WTF??

Hope this doesn't end up another 4th and 2 for BB.

 

[Bobbin']

Well I'm in Houston next week for the Jags game.

Turning out to be a great game to have
Picked now it's all to play for.

 

[kieran_vale]

Fucking hell!!! BB you have some splaining to do for that. Thin line between bravery and stupidity.

 

[Renegade]

Get. In.

 

[kieran_vale]

Ah well time to get the popcorn for BB's press conference, this should be fun with extra death stares.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Bengals-Broncos is a huge game tomorrow now with huge implications for the entire playoff pack now!

Bengals win - They get a bye and still have a shot at #1 in the AFC, Dalton gets an extra week to recover before their inevitable Divisional loss, Houston wins the AFC South on strength of schedule, Chiefs lead the AFC West, Denver will end up facing a win and in next week, Jets know a win and in is good for them and the Steelers will be praying for Denver and/or Jets losses in Week 17 so long as they win.

Broncos win - They still have a shot at #1 in the AFC, they clinch a playoff place and should win the AFC West in theory, Pittsburgh will be praying for a Jets loss in Buffalo next week, the AFC South title goes down to the wire and the Bengals will be praying the Jets don't mess it up because I think their fanbase will be driven to insanity if the Steelers get the #6 seed and turn up at Paul Brown Stadium in two weeks time.

 

[kieran_vale]

Denver only get to #1 in AFC if they win out and we lose at Miami in week 17 as the tiebreaker they hold over us would come in to play then.

If I was them though I'd worry about winning the division. KC are looking really good and are on a roll and Denver at the moment are extremely reliant on their D. If they lose to Cincy I think they may well miss out.
