Let’s get right back up on that horse, commenters-TO THE GAMES!
Sea/TB-The Good for Tampa? The Bucs have won 2 straight. Seattle has to fly across the country for the third time. Qb Winston has been playing well of late. Tampa is only one game out of first in their division.
The Bad? The Bucs are 1-4 at home. Since 2012 Seattle after Nov. 1st is 31-6. Tampa nickel cb Adjei-Barimah is out and if Grimes plays he’s limping. Rb Rawls is finally back though there is little behind him.
Car/Oak-The Raiders have doubled up the Panthers win-wise 8 to 4. Who saw that at the beginning of the season? The Raiders have scored a minimum of 27 points in their last 4. Whatever the outcome it should be a close one-the Panthers last 4 games (2 wins, 2 losses) have been decided by 3 points each time.
NE/NYJ-I’m hearing different things about Gronk but Brady and wr’s Hogan and Edelman are going to be on the field. LET THE CRUSHENING COMMENCE!
There you go-BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY IN THE COMMENTS!
Alex Singleton recovers a ball fumbled by RB Travon Van, and the Stampeders take it back.
I’m not even sure which team I’m rooting for in CAR/OAK, go stuff!
Probably should have gone for it on that 4th and 1, eh Ron?
DB Forrest Hightower just made an INSANE one-handed pick of a Bo Levi Mitchell bomb. Craziness. Ottawa has the ball again.
Carolina loses as only Carolina can.
A little dumpoff pass off a play fake from Burris to fullback Patrick Lavoie, and the XP makes it 17-7 REDBLACKS. This is a very surprising result indeed.
And the Stamps turn it right back over!
Del Rio: “We’re happy to go for the FG here, which is why we threw it a couple times and stopped the clock.”
A pass? Didn’t expect that. Pretty stupid.
Look at all these multicultural families enjoying Samsung VR! I bet it won’t totally explode while strapped to my face at all! I should buy one!
Or give you eye herpes.
This shrapnel is SUPER realistic!
Well… for some VR simulations, the explosion in the face might be what you’re looking for.
Applies to certain pornos as well.
“There’s a big difference between exploding and merely bursting into uncontrolled flames. Ppl forget that.”
/Samsung PR dept.
Panthers costing themselves at least 10-12 seconds by not calling their timeouts pre-2 minute warning.
The Panthers going for two is like me going nude at a clothing-optional beach.
Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.
Calgary fumbles the ball away on a punt return, and the REDBLACKS recover… Play is being reviewed for a horse collar tackle, though.
No illegal tackle. Ottawa has it.
Every CFL game ever:

Good thing you didn’t risk that 4th and a foot, Riverboat Ron. Imagine if the Raiders had good field position.
Holy shit Crabtree!
Dammit Jets. Dammit.
Stupid Jests.

Goddamn it Jets. YOU HAD ONE MOTHERFUCKING JOB.
Jets gonna Jet.
Verily, it is their Sisyphian lot in life.
I wish Raiders fans would go to Cosplay conventions and start shit.
Your 2-pt attempt was overturned NE!
Not sure why that Pats two pointer didn’t count, but since it wasn’t deemed a forward pass I don’t even care why.
/Might have Brady on some sort of “fantasy” team
Riverboat Ron fell off the boat there.
Is there some sort of organization out there for teams in abusive relationships? The Jets could really use some help.
Uh oh. This week’s check didn’t clear.
Go for it, Ron. Have some balls. 32-32 is not a game to play field position.

It doesn’t seem like Malcolm is there; I tentatively volunteer to take his place.
You probably shouldn’t. She really don’t like him.
Calgary’s lost #1 receiver Marquay McDaniel to a shoulder injury… Will be interesting to see how this affects the Stamps’ game plan moving forward. Mitchell gets sacked, but the play is under review for roughing the passer (which seems insane).
You watching dirt-hockey?
It’s the Grey Cup! One day a year where CFL trumps the NFL for me.
Challenge is denied. Calgary will punt.
Oakland has no intention to keep the raiders. All the talk is just to make it look better politically. The last thing they want is for shemp to call their bluff and have them pony up.
/florio basically said the same
//I agree with florhnxhsgsghbxhehguewnmbxvs

Ah, and HERE is where it all goes wrong for the Jets.
Panthers-Raiders has turned into a fun game.
Much better than it looked on paper.
I like Martellus Bennett, but I hate the Patriots. Annoying, NFL, annoying.

37-yard field goal from backup kicker Ray Early, and Ottawa retakes the lead, 10-7.
A Canadian scored in a championship game with a distinct kicking motion? Don’t tell Mike Modano.
BUTTFUMBLE MENTION….WE MUST ALL DRINK!!!!!!
The Jets will lose this game:
A) After a turnover leading directly to a N.E. touchdown;
B) After allowing N.E. to drive the length of the field in the last 57 seconds;
C) After an inexplicable blown calls hands N.E. a fresh set of downs with less than 2 minutes left;
D) After Fitzpatrick gets his dick caught in his cleat on 4th and goal from the 1
D
E) Safety.
I think a combination of A, B and C will happen. I am rooting for D
F) all of the fucking above.
Why pick just one?
A Carolina explosion? Terrorism!
I wish Dok hadn’t mentioned French onion soup earlier. There’s a deli nearby that makes a delicious, disgusting mess of a bowl but they’re closed already. My doctor told me I’m not getting enough dairy fat, that would have been perfect.
Intentional Grounding. #14 Offense. Because the Patriots said so.
So the Panthers just scored a TD putting them up 31-24. They kicked the extra point.
After thinking about this, I wondering if going for 2 would have been smarter since a 9 point lead is a two-possession game where both 7 and 8 points are one possession leads.
Am I thinking about this the wrong way?
Kick the extra point. Force them to go for two to tie.
They tried before and failed. Think they’re scared off.
the thought is, if the 2-pointer is less than a 50% play, it’s better to make THEM do it than trying to do it yourself. But you get such a huge benefit that I would be tempted, especially if the offense/defense matchup was favorable
It probably depends on what you think the relative success rate of your team going for two vs the other team’s success rate of going for two.
WOOT! Charmception! 14-5 is my favorite score of the season.
2nd one ever, per tv peeps. 1984 SF/ATL fixture
Welp
