Jax @ NO: If you’re a fan of invisible D’s have I got a game for you. Both of these teams have racked up a 50 spot this year. Over the last five games combined these teams have averaged 27 points per game. RB Yeldon is out so Denard Robinson goes once again. Pro Bowl snub WR Robinson, he of the 1100+ yds. and 13 TD’s just might go off today. Of course, I say that about any talented catcher of balls playing against the Saints secondary. QB Brees will play with a torn painter fascist (Gerardo Dottori?)-not sure how mobile he’ll be but I’m also not sure of how much pressure the Jags DL will be able to exert.
StL @ Sea: Who knew that QB Wilson would be able to back up his words with actions? Since wk.11 he’s been the best completion-, yards per attempt- TD- and QBR-wise. That’s some sagely play on his part. By far his most heroic feat though has been temporarily transforming WR Baldwin into something not resembling a regrettable draft pick. The Rams looked to be something early in the season but reality has a way of catching up to everyone. (Donald Trump excluded) DT Aaron Donald has been a force for the D throughout for the Rams and Wilson may want to keep an eye out lest he become another sack statistic.
GB @ Ari: The Pack do have 10 wins at this point but they have come at the expense of the Chargers, the Lions X2, the Cowboys, the 49ers and the Seahawks/Chiefs before they got their collective shit together. To be fair, they did beat the Broncs and Panthers though. By beat I mean not beat. Over the last 8 weeks the Cards have only been tested by the Vikes, Seahawks and Bengals. The old standby “playoff atmosphere” may be bandied about a fair bit during this game. You have been warned.
Jeff Fisher consults his moustache and comes back with “FG”
I remember waaay back at the beginning of the season when I was all about Ameer Abdullah and Andre Ellington
THIS ARIZONA OFFENSE I CALL IT AARON ROGERS SECRET BOYFRIEND ‘CAUSE THEY JUST PUT A JOHNSON RIGHT IN GREEN BAY’S KISSER
Shit that’s good.
Nice play from David Johnson.
DAVID JOHNSON WILL MOW YOU DOWN AND EAT YOUR BABIES!*
*not a guarantee
Serious, now that teh Le’Veon is broken, I think David Johnson is the best back in the league. By a fair margin.
The playbook has really been tailored to him since Cop Speed went down. He’s good but he still shows flashes or rookiness.
Then the playbook should have always been tailored to him. The offense looks next level the last few weeks with him. That combo of size/power and speed is really quite special.
I still think Alfred Morris could do a lot more if Chubby weren’t phasing him out since he’s associated with Shanny.
He could have a “second team Renaissance” with a new franchise like Beastmode…
Packers no tackle.
Holy fuck GB defense
Tavon with the spin move!
HOW MANY BRANDIN COOKS?
Too many?
New Game: guess where Matthew Slater’s body is right now.
Aaron Rodgers REALLY deserves better than that shithead coach and derpy supporting cast he has.
Too many Brandins!
Not looking good for the Jax run game, which is fantastically relevant for me.
Airline commercials are bullshit. Your stewardesses are not that hot, your pilots are not that sober.
The same thing applies to hospitals.
Ditto fast food restaurants.
Martin House Sugar & Spice Barleywine is fucking great.
Bullshit. Now you’re just making beer names up to sound cool.
Possibly.
Wait a minute… Darth Hoodie WANTED to kick off in OT? BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Did he just say that or is Matthew Slater’s head hanging from his belt during the press conference?
It actually makes sense with what he said. And I can see the Grumblelord being confident enough in his offense that he feels like he can get a stop, then his team only has to get into field goal range.
Pretty sure they wanted the wind/choice of end of field, but the way they called it, didn’t even get THAT. Coked up Red Zone guy trying to make more of a meal of it than even that deliciousness (i.e., ref basically talked Slater into it subconsciously).
Being from Arizona, I’m not concerned about a ton of GB fans being at FCS. It’s a transplant city and this is a big game where out of towners — who come from much better economic conditions than this hole — are readily interested in paying well-over face value for a ticket. Also, this is the first time in like seven years (3rd time in my lifetime) that such a meaningful game with this much excitement has been played this late in the season at home.
That said, Packer fans are fucking annoying. They’re no Tommy de Quiznee but the little, “Oh we’re just nice people who are great fans that are simply passionate about supporting our team” act is bullshit. If you want to come into another team’s house, that’s fine, but don’t get all upset when you get treated like any other non-divisional visiting fan.
Tis true, I fly down once a year to see the folks and there is a shit tonne of Iggle fans when I go. Been to a bunch of Niner games and it is half and half.
The entitlement of Packers fans is insane. A team like Seattle or Carolina gets good, and it’s always Packers fans leading the way calling their fans bandwagon fans. Meanwhile, those assholes have had a good-great team consistently for 25 years. Must be hard to always be picked to make it to the Conference championship game.

I like Saints fans. They’re like less stabby, less scary Raiders fans, with more gumbo.
And Jambalaya!
Is my team playing at home?
/looks out window
Nope. What the hell Arizona?
Poor people sell their tickets to rich people.
Reaganomics works!
Those people aren’t from green bay I can guarantee it. Fans maybe, but not from here.
I was watching the PIT-BAL game with family, but rest assured I laughed my ass off when the Patriots pulled a Jerome Bettis at the OT coin toss.
Will FOX let me know if there is a quirky fish market in Seattle?
They say the crowd is pretty quiet there, so probably lots of time for intelligent insight and conversational factoids.
I wonder if CBS will feature someone preparing wings in Buffalo?
Rams are ready!
RAM IT
Walter Payton’s Man of the Year Award goes to the player best able to hide the skeletons in his closet.
Nah, they’re just smart enough to have multiple fall guys.
Holy shit, show up for your home games, Cardinals fans. I know you are Arizona, but fuck.
There was probably a holiday special at Golden Corral
I have loads of co-workers in Phoenix. I should send a company memo telling them to care about their goddamn successful football franchise.
Between the Cards, Coyotes, D-Backs, and Suns… do they ever sell any stadium out?
Cards have sold out every game at Fake College Stadium.
Maybe they have boxing week sales specials? Who doesn’t want to spend more money after Christmas?
When taking the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs, one should aim to advance the ball to, at least, the 20 yard line.
Raise that 12 flag.
Joe Buck’s Dirty Beard with the play call.
joe buck looks like his heads been in a vice
Unfortunately it isn’t.
I’m disappointed the Titans lost today. I was really hoping for the Falcons and Jaguars to make the playoffs when I found out it was possible for both to make it earlier this week. Oh well.
It really is amazing that people who get paid to do nothing more than talk about football one day a week can manage to never have anything interesting or insightful to say about football.
It’d never happen, but, I’d support every Network having a 4 years on/4 years off policy. Like, each football talking head gets 4 years employment before not being able to talk about football for 4 years on network TV.
Most of these guys on TV talking football have been on TV for like 20 years. They’re on autopilot now. Whereas after they’re out of work for 4 years and no guarantee they’ll be welcomed back, they might actually try harder.
Made it!
Have I missed any good conversations about Manning/PEDs?
Hosted a party xmas eve, just found 5 bottles a wine an a random 15 pack of beer in the cleanup. There is definitely merit to angering your neighbour with drinking games at 3 in the morning. I am 39 I confess I love flipcup and beerpong.
I still regularly play asshole and kings cup with my friends. We’re all 30, and at least 2 of us have kids.
My main problem with drinking games, you only get to drink if you lose (yes I know you can just drink anyway, but it isn’t the same). It shouldn’t be a punishment, it should be a reward! That’s why I invented drinking scrabble. Person with the highest score at the end of each round drinks.
I miss the days when football teams made horrible music videos.
Does this mean teams these days can’t RAM IT?

Calgary Flames, Red Hot. It is epic.
Please take a moment and watch this.

That is good stuff.
The Mullets! The Moustaches! The Polo Shirts? The Earnestness!
It is legendary here for the badness.
Grandma totally agrees.

Cromartie hasn’t looked that confused since a woman last asked him to use a condom
Tangentially related, is it just me, or do the Patriots win coin tosses way more than 50% of the time?
For the record, methinks Slater meant to choose the end of the field, but by saying “KICK” he made an affirmative choice, rather than simply deferring.
Let’s go Rams, fuck those Seahawks over.
Ram it!
I’m sure that Slater’s race totes won;t be mentioned on Bahstahn talk radio, right??
Bostonians don’t see race, they hate everyone who isn’t from there equally.
Guess Breesus is okay.
Aaron Rodgers deserves to lose for hanging around with that dirty motherfucker Chris Paul.
As an NC State alum, I agree on behalf of Julius Hodge’s nuts.
I cant even go with whiskey yet. Stupid DUI laws.
Andn once that TD was caught in the endzone by the Jets receiver, I wrote “game over” post haste in my notebook
Fucking stupidest overtime I’ve ever seen. Good for you Jets.
Concussion test on Slater please
This is the time on Sprockets when we drink to excess
Falcons beat Panthers
Ravens beat Steelers
BIRD UPSETS!!!!!
DAY OF THE BIRD!
All liquored up before noon and ready for an NFC West potlach.
Right there with ya. C-Link is about to light up like I am.
Last!
