Cleveland Cleveland'd again, but it seems that Kiser may have the attention of the lockerroom sooo maybe soon it can turn around?

The Giants played the Cowboys decently...up to the 4th quarter. With 11 minutes left, after two missed FGs by Bailey, Dak connected with Jason Witten for a touchdown (it's only been forever.), and after that it was a tag team beatdown. Even with Bailey missing a PAT, Prescott and Morris tore into the D while the glass cannon Sean Lee and the Defence shut down Eli and the not-as-awful Giants offence. 30-10 Dallas, still alive for the wildcard.

Note, this was the most football I've taken in this year, and it was still only 2/3 of a game.
 
Bengals got stomped by the Bears 33-7. Luckily I had to work today and didn't have to suffer through it. I recorded it in case it was a good game. Instead, when I got home, I just deleted it. :)

I would love to say I'm ready for the season to end and am eagerly awaiting the start of the Reds' season. Except they're in rebuild mode and suck too... Such is life as a Cincinnati sports fan.

There's still FC Cincinnati.
 
Seahawks showed bad sportsmanship today. In 2 kneel downs by the Jaguars to try end the game with a win, the Seahawks were flagged by starting fights. 2 Seahawks were ejected, and Jefferson responded by attempting to confront unruly fans.

Unfortunately I'm not into soccer. I'll be happy when MLS decides if they get a team though, because I'm tired of constantly hearing about building the stadium and parking garage in Oakley. Every damn day on the radio...:lol:
 
Welp, Wentz is done for the season with a torn ACL. Son-of-a-🤬.

There goes my fantasy team...in the playoffs never-the-less.
 
Patriots at Dolphins TONIGHT!

We got the AFC East in vogue tonight. The Sunshine State provides us this match as the 10-2 (1st in AFC East) New England Patriots pay a visit to Omnis' 5-7 (3rd in AFC East) Miami Dolphins. Only two times has teams figured out how to beat the Patriots. Can the Dolphins hand the Pats their third loss? Or will the Dolphins sleep with the fishes once more? We'll find what happens tonight in the MIA. In the 305.

Favored: NE by 11
Over/Under: 48 pts.


If you will follow this game, enjoy this game tonight!
 
Bills win in a snowglobe, with a third string QB that usually plays on special teams.

Good news: they're still in the playoff hunt.

Bad news, all three games left are division games, one is a guaranteed loss (unless they rest their starters), and the other two will be close. More bad news: Peterman is still in concussion protocol and McDermott has not specified a timetable for Tyrod (he should be back this week, cause he was almost back last week, but they're the Bills so you never know).

To make the playoffs they will have to sweep the Dolphins. The last three times the Bills swept the Dolphins were the 2015, 2013, and 2007 seasons. Last year they were swept, but both games were lost by 3. I definitely think that Buffalo will win at home, but who knows what happens in Miami.

Wentz is out for the year so Brady wins MVP.

I only liked this 'cause I think you are right. Not that I love Brady, have to make that clear :lol:

I know I'm GTP's only Houston Texans fan, but there may be another kind of issue not discussed as much. Tom Savage went down in a hard tackle against the 49ers. He went off the field and was checked out and returned to the game. This, only to have to go back out of the game. So an independent cleared Savage to get back out there even though he was still not at his best. He now is under the concussion protocol and will miss the Texans' upcoming game at the Jacksonville Jaguars. The issue at hand is to further examine knowing when a player should really be cleared and get back out on the field from any number of personnel.

The Philadelphia Eagles without Carson Wentz is going to be tough. PHI knows what it's like when your best QB is done for the season with injury- just ask Houston or Green Bay, for instance. Of course, quarterback trouble is habitual for the Texans, but that's another story. Anyhow, I wish Wentz well in his recovery.

Finally, that Seattle Seahawks at Jacksonville Jaguars game was atrocious, especially its ending. Too many wrongs and totally classless acts were committed at the end of that game. Okay. So you lost to Jacksonville. So did my Texans (and probably will happen again this weekend). Just let it go and move on to the next game. Worse was fans showing their displeasure. It wasn't as bad as in Major League Baseball earlier this year when one of the Boston Red Sox players was heckled poorly, but this poor performance with the SEA at JAX game was pretty foul.


That's all from me. What say you on some of the issues I discussed? And don't forget we have NE at MIA later tonight for Monday Night Football!
 
Miami... won? According to my Facebook feed, I saw the Dolphins won 27-20 at home against the New England Patriots. Anyone who shuts up New England gets praise from most NFL fans. So shout out to Omnis' Miami Dolphins on a job well done. I didn't see the game.

Situations like this will be the end of football as we know it... how do you let a guy back into the game after he's left twitching and stiff as board following a hit.

Haha, I'm in the same boat my friend. Just read everything I write with 200% sarcasm.

And yes, he will still win MVP even after that stinker last night (which was extremely entertaining).

He was also spitting up blood if I remember correctly. The broadcasters were also mentioning the importance of the independent examinations because none of those players are going to voluntarily take themselves out of the games.

You missed the best MNF of the season. That was the best football the fins have played in the past decade
 
Since I'm not going to bother watching another Raiders game this year because of how bad they are performing, I'm officially rooting for the Jaguars from now on, until their season is over. They've got a great D, a great running game, and Bortles is showing everyone he can play ball. I like what I see in this team.
 
Quickly... here is a rundown of some of the more interesting matches this Week 15:

* THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WK. 15: DEN Broncos at IND Colts
* CHI Bears at DET Lions (Saturday game)
* LAC Chargers at KC Chiefs (Saturday game)
* SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WK. 15: DAL Cowboys at OAK Raiders
* MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WK. 15: ATL Falcons at TB Buccaneers

Playoff spots are either being clinched or divisions are being won. So far, here is who is in:


--- WHO'S IN! ---
...AFC EAST...
Pittsburgh (won AFC North)
...AFC WEST...
...AFC SOUTH...
...AFC WILD CARD 1...
...AFC WILD CARD 2...
Philadelphia (won NFC East)
...NFC NORTH...
...NFC SOUTH...
...NFC WEST...
...NFC WILD CARD 1...
...NFC WILD CARD 2...

More spots will be filled as the season winds down.


Good luck to all of your favorite teams. Hopefully this week will be a great one for your team(s).
 
Should have happened a long time ago. Being the 2nd longest tenured coach in the NFL and scoring 0 playoff victories? A coach on any other team in the league would have been canned in less than half that time.

Oh, and we got manhandled by the Vikes today. But I really didn't care, because the season is a waste anyway. Plus it helped Zim's team (sorry, GTP Lion fans). I wish we had him here instead. :(
 
The Rams/Seahawks game looks like someone playing Madden on easy. :lol:

Happy to see the Vikings win the division, I don’t really follow them closely enough to know if the division is any good though.
 
In Jacksonville, Florida; the predicted cremation of the 2017 Houston Texans came true. We only managed one touchdown to break up the shutout. JAX led 31-0 at the half. We basically conceded for sixty minutes to a much better team. The football deities must loathe the Texans. Final score was 45-7, Jacksonville Jaguars.

Up next for the Houston Texans... perhaps a gift that will keep on giving for most NFL fans- my Texans likely getting smashed when we host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. Yay, us. More losing... unless the Texans finally wake the hell up and play even with a weak roster.


Congratulations to all other winners from this week.
 
Falcons at Buccaneers TONIGHT!

We were in Florida last Monday with an AFC East battle. This Monday, we got an NFC South battle. We go from Atlantic coastal Florida to Gulf of Mexico coastal Florida for tonight's game. Geography lesson aside, this NFC South game pits the bottom half on the NFC South rankings as the 8-5 Atlanta Falcons (3rd in NFC South) meet the 4-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4th in NFC South). Time to see who the better of these two will be come game time.

Favored: ATL by 5.5

Enjoy tonight's game if you will be watching or following to some capacity.
