NFL Week 8 recap

Thursday:

BILLS 24, BUCCANEERS 18

Bills bounced back from that bad loss in Foxboro, but still were a hail mary away from losing. 

Sunday:

COWBOYS 43, RAMS 20

Dallas completely blew this one out by halftime.

JAGUARS 20, STEELERS 10

5th win in a row for the Jags. The Steelers offense again was bad, and lost Pickett. 

EAGLES 38, COMMANDERS 31

For whatever reason the Commies can play Philly tight. The Eagles look like a near lock though for the #1 seed. 

TITANS 28, FALCONS 23

Will Levis had a huge game in his 1st career start, which probably means it's his show going forward. Atlanta wound up led by Taylor Heinicke. 

SAINTS 38, COLTS 27

Another home loss for the Colts, whose season is slipping away. The Saints meanwhile have found some offense and might be the south favorites. 

JETS 13, GIANTS 10 OT

The Giants are having a woeful season, yet still almost won with a 3rd string QB named Tommy DeVito, until they choked at the end (with help from the clock operator). 

PANTHERS 15, TEXANS 13

Panthers got their 1st win on a last second field goal. So the Texans aren't quite ready to contend. 

DOLPHINS 31, PATRIOTS 17

Miami trouncing another inferior opponent. 

SEAHAWKS 24, BROWNS 20

Seattle moved into first place with a comeback over the Browns. 

BENGALS 31, 49ERS 17

3rd straight loss for the 49ers, who may have started Purdy with a concussion. Joe Burrow lit em up. 

BRONCOS 24, CHIEFS 9

Denver hadn't beaten the Chiefs since Peyton Manning was still playing. Mahomes had the flu I guess, and it must have been a bad one. Chiefs were due to get burned by a lackluster performance. 

RAVENS 31, CARDINALS 24

Ravens had a bit of a trap game here, but got the win. Arizona was competitive again. 

CHARGERS 30, BEARS 13

Chicago was never in this game. LA won without breaking a sweat. 

Monday:

LIONS 26, RAIDERS 14

Another easy win for the Lions against a bad team that played terribly. Jimmy Garoppolo might just be done.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
