NFL Week 17 recap

Thursday:

BROWNS 37, JETS 20

The Joe Flacco hot streak continues, and the Browns clinched a playoff spot for just the 2nd time in 20 years. 

Saturday:

COWBOYS 20, LIONS 19

Did the Lions get screwed by that call at the end? Yes. Do I feel any sympathy whatsoever after hearing for the last week from asshole Lions fans that I should shut up about the horrible officiating in our game? Abso-fucking-lutely not. It's called karma, Lions fans (est. 2023). Drink it up. 

Sunday:

RAVENS 56, DOLPHINS 19

The Ravens emphatically took home field advantage, completely obliterating the Dolphins. If the Ravens of the last 2 weeks continue they will be in the super bowl without question. 

BILLS 27, PATRIOTS 21

A bit of a slog for the Bills, but they won and set up a week 18 game in Miami for the division title 

BEARS 37, FALCONS 17

The Bears late season surge continued in a snow game. Atlanta is somehow still alive for their division. 

TEXANS 26, TITANS 3

Texans got CJ Stroud back and won easily, setting up a win and in for them next week. 

COLTS 23, RAIDERS 20

Colts stayed in a playoff spot, and eliminated the Raiders. 

JAGUARS 26, PANTHERS 0

The Trevor Lawrence-less Jags made easy work of the Panthers, who clinched the #1 overall draft pick....for the Bears. 

RAMS 26 GIANTS 25

It's rather incredible how even teams who are playing for the Vikings by proxy have stupid bullshit take place. The Giants were very much capable of winning, but missed a PAT, dropped a wide open 2 pt. conversion, and had Mason Crosby come up short on a late field goal to lose. 

CARDINALS 35, EAGLES 31

A major upset, as the feisty Cards really dominated that faded Eagles defense, IN Philly no less. It knocked the Eagles back into 2nd, and also put the Lions back in play for the 2 seed. 

SAINTS 23, BUCCANEERS 13

Tampa had a chance to clinch the south and eliminate the Saints, but instead were basically dominated in a game not as close as the final score. 

49ERS 27, COMMANDERS 10

49ers took care of business on the road and wrapped up home field advantage.

STEELERS 30, SEAHAWKS 23

Yay! The Steelers offensive resurgence under Mason Rudolph continued, and they got a big win not only for themselves, but the Seattle loss ensured that the Vikings cannot be eliminated this week, and are backing a win and in spot.

CHIEFS 25, BENGALS 17

Another grind of a game for the Chiefs, but they always struggle with the Bengals. They clinched the west yet again, and eliminated the Bengals and Broncos. 

BRONCOS 16, CHARGERS 9

While being eliminated, the Broncos got a snoozy win after benching Russell Wilson during the week.

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...
