NFL Week 14 recap

Thursday:

PATRIOTS 21, STEELERS 18

A 2nd straight disastrous home loss for the Steelers, who have probably sacrificed any chance to make the playoffs.

Sunday:

BEARS 28, LIONS 13

The frauds got exposed yet again, and this time the Bears didn't give it all away at the end. Honestly at this point in time Chicago is the better team. 

RAVENS 37, RAMS 31 OT

A wild game, in which there were numerous lead changes. The Rams have really figured things out. Thankfully the Ravens made enough big plays, and then got the walkoff punt return in OT. 

BROWNS 31, JAGUARS 27

Trevor Lawrence surprisingly played just 6 days after an ankle sprain, but maybe shouldn't have, as he had several turnovers and got outdated by Joe Flacco, who I am really glad to see having success again. 

BENGALS 34, COLTS 14

The resurgent Bengals got another good game from Jake Browning and took care of the Colts, who blew a chance to tie the Jaguars. 

JETS 30, TEXANS 6

Sure. The Texans, who had won 4 of 5, go play the lowly Jets and Zach Wilson and after a scoreless 1st half wind up getting crushed. They too blew a chance to tie the Jaguars. 

BUCCANEERS 29, FALCONS 25

A late TD by the Bucs got them a big road win which actually moved them into 1st place at 6-7. Considering their tiebreaker over the Vikings, I'm now hoping Tampa wins that division. 

SAINTS 28, PANTHERS 6

The Saints also are in that 3 way tie atop the south after smothering the lowly Panthers. 

49ERS 28, SEAHAWKS 16

The 49ers kept rolling, taking down the fading Seahawks with some big plays. And they are now the #1 seed. 

BILLS 20, CHIEFS 17

I still haven't given up on my super bowl pick, and picked them to win this game. They did get awfully lucky with that late offsides call (which was the right call, sorry Patrick), but they made the plays. The Chiefs just don't have it this year, and only lead the west by a game now. 

BRONCOS 24, CHARGERS 7

Justin Herbert went out pretty early with an injury, and that made things pretty easy for Denver, who are in the thick of the division and wild card races. 

COWBOYS 33, EAGLES 13

2nd straight blowout loss for the Eagles. Dallas takes over 1st place in the east for now, although the Eagles have the much easier finishing schedule. 

Monday:

GIANTS 24, PACKERS 22

😅😅😅
Not even flukey luck plays or refball (that was NOT a fumble) could hand this one to the Packers. It was close though. Luckily, Tommy DeVito led a late drive to get the win. 

TITANS 28, DOLPHINS 27

What a weird 4th quarter. The Titans imploded with 2 turnovers and within moments a close game was decided. But then it wasn't, and the Titans became the 1st team in ages to win when down 14 with 3 minutes to go. This may cost the Dolphins the 1 seed.

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...
