Of the six games on tap five have playoff implications-even if it’s just a matter of who plays who where. I’m always curious if a team that has no skin in the game (N.O., Denver, S.D. etc.) shows up to play. Trying to win is ingrained in the membrane (Cleveland excepted) but sometimes squads seem to just go through the motions during the last tilt of the year. TO THE GAMES!
NO/Atl– The Falcs need this win so they can get a first round bye and the #2 seed in the NFC. Qb Brees just needs about one quarter or 148 yards-whichever comes first-to get to 5,000 passing yards passing for the fifth time. The Saints D is looking to avoid the very likely prospect of being embarrassed yet again. I don’t care how high it is, take the over.
NYG/Was– Ye olde ‘Dacteds are dancing the Win And Get In Jig while the Giants are locked into the #5 seed no matter the outcome. If they lose I’ll be bang on about their record for the second year in a row in the pre-season predictions. [hesitates for a moment] No… no, I won’t be hoping they lose just so I can brag to invisible buddies. No.
Ari/LA– Pour some out (not too much!) for Aaron Donald and David Johnson-two phenomenally-gifted fellers that aren’t getting very much help from the other side of the ball this year.
Oak/Den– Thanks to an injury to Carr, Professor Frink expletive McGloin will be playing the lead role in “Deer In The Headlights” today vs. the Broncs D. Such a fine year by Oakland wasted. Wasted-reminds me of my youth and my plans for this afternoon.
KC/SD– I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again-the Chiefs are the most boring 11-win team in the all of ever. Anyway, allow me to unpack the “What’s At Stake Bowl”. Okay-[Andy Reid breaks through 4th wall] Steak bowl? A bowl made entirely of steak? What would you put in it aside from mashed potatoes, gravy, cornbread, bacon-wrapped sausages, more steak, a fried egg and a chocolate waterfall? Go on, I’m listening. [wipes saliva from mouth] Uhhh, where was I? Right. A Chiefs win and the likely Raiders loss gets them the 2 seed in the AFC.
Sea/SF– One team is playing for playoff seeding and the other for draft seeding. Can you figure out which one is which? If you’re able to do that, HC Carroll is more than interested in your theories of World Trade Center Building #7.
GO GET ‘EM, RAPSCALLIONS!
one of my cats has learned how to throw his little catnip toy, He spears it with his paw and wings it across the living room. Quite entertaining to watch.
If it grows an opposable thumb you need to move out immediately and DO NOT LOOK BACK!!!!
Alright – got some crab bisque kicked off in the slow cooker. Gonna watch ARI embarrass the Rams for another half and then either Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts out.
Rogue One is the tits. You won’t be disappointed.
I thoroughly enjoyed that movie despite being a straight white male.
Kirk Cousins is really good at the game “Pin the pass on the part of your receiver most likely to get him injured”
“Chicago (NHL) is an amazing franchise”
There’s something you never heard when Bill Wirtz was running things. (read the last sentence on that link)
I’m not gonna lie….As a grown assed man (allegedly)….I think that I think it’s too funny that Oakland’s backup is almost named Pat MaGroin.
It’s close….close enough to be funny.
Chargers defense couldn’t stop a pee wee team today.
ENJOY THE SHITSHOW, LOS ANGELES!
Giants O is the ship. Giants D is the bucket that bails them out regularly.
Meanwhile in ice football, Auston Matthews just absolutely sniped one to put the Ice Argos up 4-1 on the Ice Lions.
The Ice Lions seem to be more focused on how their NFL brethren will do tonight.
HUZZAH GIGANTES
Crowder wide open.
GREEN BEANZ!

Review that shit. NAWT A CATCH IF YOU DON’T HAVE 10 FINGERS ON IT.
You just don’t want JPP getting credit for picking off an errant pass from Cousins next year.
Hey. Cousins did a thing!
Aaaand immediate regresses.

I AM ANGRY BECAUSE THE SKINS WILL PROBABLY KEEP KIRK COUSINS AND HE’S JUST NOT THAT GOOD.
CUTLER TO THE SKINS OK!
Tough sentiments Dok.
Damn.
Green Beanz! That is a terrible idea.
Can we interest you in a slightly used Romo?
And by “you” I mean “Dan Snyder” and by interest I mean give us your first round picks for 2017-2020″ and by “Can we” I mean Snyder already said yes before I finished typing this.
That idea should go die in a fire. And that’s a HORRIBLE death.
Should that actually come up, I hope McCloughan knees Snyder in the balls repeatedly. Actually, I just hope that happens, no matter what the situation.
Kneeing Snyder in the balls is always the right answer. Doesn’t even matter what the question is.

With the Raiders losing McGloin there’s only one true option…
The triumphant return of JaMarcus Russell.
Celebratory bottles of purp all around!!
I’ll drank to that!
CHUH CHUH
And here he comes!!!

SOUND THE BUFFET SIREN-he must be found!
Donks giving back maybe 4-5 slots in the 1st round draft order here. Difference between starter-quality RT, and giving into Elway and drafting that future average special teams player from Stanford.
I don’t know much about what these games mean to playoff seedings but I do know this: Tom Brady cheats.
He’ll make a great Congressman down the road.
He’ll be Deputy Director of the CIA during Drumpf’s fourth term.
Giants. Running. Game?
Nevermind.
Welcome to 2017.
Also, as thrilled as I am at the prospect of playing the LOLphins next week, I’m a bit saddened the Stillers won’t get to make Tannehill make the practice squad guys run suicides the next day.
Sounds like the official in Giants-Redacteds got his mic from a crappy fast food drive through.
So today seems to be unfolding (W/L) exactly as one might have expected, I see.
Oh, I see Floaterception Phil decided to show up today.
ut ohhhhh Cardinals just lost their star running back.
David Johnson is out….
Basically the praise the Fox announcers (terrible) are giving TRAVELIN’ is that their offense is not predictable. That they drop everything and get dumb penalties to negate big runs, apparently, isn’t important.
Eli Manning is playing like a kid out there!
Specifically, THIS kid…

Fucking Eli.

That’s a two-time Super Bowl winner kinda gut right there, folks.
I wonder how much of that gut is due to eating sand…
My gut looks like a THREE-time Super Bowl winner.
Not sure if I was the only one playing….
But on a positive, I did win Browns Bingo this year!!!
That “blow a 14 point lead” square is a miracle, as it requires the Browns to have HAD a 14 point lead.
Shit…I think I missed the Browns team being outscored by a Cav’s bench player.
I may have gotten DOUBLE BINGO!!!
I find it hard to believe Cook could be any worse than McGloin anyway.
The [*Redacted] s are playing like they just want to give back their shot at the playoffs.
Maybe they think that if they give back the play-offs they can get back Manhattan.
Haha! Rams runs a direct to Austin and score a TD. But Goff never got set up after when he motioned out (to do nothing) so take it back and 1st and 15.
Baby Buster strikes again!!
Baldwin is teh good receiver. He almost makes up for the pain of watching Kearse bounce the ball off of his hands, his helmet, his foot…
What a grab by Baldwin there. Hot damn.
Rams with all kinds of misdirection today.
At least their new coach understands that they have lesser personnel. .
McGloin is NOT happy. BRING IN THE UNDERSTUDY!
I think you misspelled “undertaker” cuz his career is dead
So we’re entering a year where a man with tiny hands will be our president and a quarterback with tiny hands may lead his team to the Super Bowl.
2016 is gone, but our weirdness has only begun.
as I said last night, fortunately we will all be dead soon
Not soon enough.
And weed will likely be illegal again very soon. What a joke.
If you’re counting carbs while we’re drinking beer then you and I are probably not going to be friends.
Good shot of Gregggggg.
Oh man, I’m stuffed.

-Also what Bibi Jones said after her night with all the Gronkowski brothers
-Also what Jim Caldwell’s scarecrow would say if it could talk
3rd stringer warming up for OAK
Wow – so the Browns almost won.
Well, we all know PIT is always a top power rankings team so that must mean Cleveland is finally hitting their stride!
If the season was 45 games I’m sure they could sneak in to the playoffs as a wild card.
Hey, the Ice Lions are playing the Ice Argonauts in an NHL-CFL-NFL family squabble.
They’re playing in Toronto and everything seems very clean and pol…

BAH GAWD, THAT’S ROB FORD’S MUSIC!!!

The Giants are making me angry. I should go eat some green beans.
Japanese pro wrestling. That is all.

Can we just let the Seattle D play ironman today?
