17-16. For once, it's the Bills that win at the last second.

Wow Miami. A 40-13 loss at home against the JETS. The only thing worse than that would be losing to the Raid.. oh wait, no, Clevela... wait, no, Buff... no. Losing to MIAMI!! Someone call Chardok and make sure he stays away from anything sharp.

Could someone please get a proctologist down to Arizona and extract the Browns' skulls from their asses ? I don't know what they're doing, but it's almost like they're trying to lose.

Indeed. I'll be in Buffalo next week for the Fish Game. Hopefully, they'll let me bring my broom to the Ralph.

Pff. Your words do not affect me, I'm dead inside already.

Now, to answer your next question, NO, you may not have any of my Cherry Garcia, and YES I AM going to eat that whole hawaiian pizza, and yes, that is, in fact, my heroin, and no, you may not untie that noose.

They should check for hoofprints because they got zebraed on that last play.

Gah! What a blunder by Joe Gibbs. Even I knew that one.

Oh bitch, bitch, bitch.

I picked them to win for some fucktarded reason, along with some other losers. The Eagles played the Patriots close last week, so surely they are more than match at home against the Seahawks, who are playing a 10 AM PST game, are soft, pathetic, undisciplined...
Fuck you, Philly!

The Chicago Bears can kiss my ass, too. Letting She-Li cut you up late -a fucking disgrace! The 49ers seemed really proud of themselves after winning last week. But let's be realistic: They only won that game because the Cards score the winning TD for them. Then I hear from 49er fans at work that bringing in Ted Tollner to do the play-calling really helped the team. Of course picking plays "eenie-meenie-minie-moe" would be better than what they had before. It didn't matter, since even if Don Coryell had been brought out of retirement, it wouldn't make up for the fact that Trent Dilfer forgot the color of the jersey he was wearing.

But the most sucktacular effort had to come from the Saints. Ahead by 3 with three minutes to go, one would think that running the clock or at least getting a 1st down would be the plan. What do they do? A DOUBLE-reverse with a flip from the QB to a wideout to a running back. What could possibly go wrong when every defender is charging into the backfield to stop the run? AAAARGH! A fumble, the Buccaneers recover, march down the field and score the winning TD. How fitting for a team in New Orleans to be left feeling like a bunch of cheap whores.

Iced Ryan Lindell twice in a row and incurred an unsportsmanlike conduct 15-yard penalty that made the game-winning kick that much easier.

For what reason? Just the two timeouts in a row, or did the ref decide that multiple icings was bad?

Two timeouts in a row to ice the kicker is a 15-yard penalty. It turned a tough 51 yarder into a 36 yard gimme.

You noticed that too? Goddammit! It's so fucking obvious as he runs down the sidelines, jumps straight up, then just magically falls sideways out of bounds! Of course he had no chance of coming down inbounds because he wasn't knocked out of bounds and still managed to get a foot down...

Yes, the Browns did their damned best to lose that game, and still got hosed.

Thag · Post by **Thag** » 2007-12-03 12:27am

Yeah, it was a shitty call. The problem I had is that, if they don't throw two interceptions, if two returns aren't completely botched, not to mention the fucking stupid penalties (why did that retard feel a need to kick a dead ball away??!?!?), getting boned by the refs on that last play becomes a non-issue.

Medic · Post by **Medic** » 2007-12-03 01:13am

I don't think we have any Denver fans here but I'll go out of my way anyway to thank them, the Chiefs and the Raiders for continually gift-wrapping this division for the Chargers.

The Raider's beat the Chiefs and the Bronco's, acing their role as late-season spoiler.

Elfdart · Post by **Elfdart** » 2007-12-03 01:26am

What's really great is that if the Chargers beat the Donkeys, but lose the rest of their games, they will still win the division and make the playoffs with one home game.

Lucky for them they play in the AFC Worst.

Speaking of blunders, what the heck were the Saints doing with that horrible reverse call? I just saw the replay, and I just can't believe how disorganized that whole thing was. In comparison with the beautiful fake hand-off, earlier, which helped the Bucs score earlier in the half, it really shows how poor planning and poor execution can be beaten even with inferior players who are well disciplined and coached. There was no aspect of that end-around reverse that the Saints looked comfortable with, which resulted in a lot of running around and an atrociously ugly lateral (since Bush hadn't even put himself in the right position to make the frickin' hand-off). That's why they lost.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

Wonderful though honestly, now I can revert to old form and become as insufferable as a Patriots fan and entertain delusions of grandeur.

Come now, the Birds' QB only contributed three, sorry, no, make that FOUR picks. And only three of those were to Tatupu. I think he literally willed Feeley to throw him the ball at the end there.

I swear, I thought I was hallucinating when Feeley threw the game loser after Westbrook practically handed him the win with that 64 yard punt return: "Here, A. J., just get it to one of the boys in green, no, wait dude, that's not our receiver... Again."

Qwerty 42 · Post by **Qwerty 42** » 2007-12-03 03:05pm

Feeley probably lost himself a shot at starting the rest of the season, which is sad in a way. He threw more picks in his two (of three) games than McNabb threw the rest of the season. The only remaining question is McNabb or Kolb next year.

Chardok · Post by **Chardok** » 2007-12-03 05:00pm

Pff, I'm not bitching. Quite the opposite, in fact; i've resigned myself to our mediocrity.

Hell, it's not even mediocrity now. It's just suckitude.

That's all too true... *hangs head*

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2007-12-03 08:40pm

The no catch call against Cleveland was the right call. He was not shoved out of bounds by the defenders. The Defenders were in perfect position to defend that play and there was no way Winslow was going to come down in bounds. He bumped into the Cardinal defenders but that was because the defenders were in perfect position. It's a tough break on a good catch, but it was the right call. If you rule it the other way, you then are almost sanctioning a slight halo around a reciever when he is near the sidelines or corners of the end zone and Quarterbacks would do nothing except put the ball there.

Fleet Admiral JD · Post by **Fleet Admiral JD** » 2007-12-03 09:09pm

Kornhauser or whatever the hell his name is can shove it up his fucking cornhole. "Bill Bellicheck is evil incarnate, he runs up the score, he cheats, he's arrogant, he snubs other coaches, &c. &c."

FUCK. YOU.

He's a damned good coach who certainly doesn't deserve your stupid ass criticizing him constantly. He's not the "villain" of the Pats dynasty, so you can just shove it up your ass, you worthless excuse for a commentator.

Falkenhayn · Post by **Falkenhayn** » 2007-12-03 10:48pm

The Raven's game plan tonight reminds me of Marv in Sin City, when he handcuffs Elijah Wood to his wrist and says "Lets see you jump around now". So far, the Pats Dline is being manhandled.
