Has the playoff picture become clearer after the noon-ish tilts? I’m guessing that the answer is, if not ‘no’, then ‘kinda’. Well, get thee ready for some more jockeying…
TO THE GAMES!
Rams/Cards:
Of course there are some teams doing other things. Arizona, for example is focusing on giving some of their young talent a little more playing time. They’re also wondering if Old Sure Hands Fitz is heading for that ranch in New Mexico where he can catch more than a break in his second career. Ya see, he’s undecided about another year doing wonderful things in front of tens of appreciative fans. As for the game itself the stats point to a rout. The Cards have allowed the most rushing TD’s in the league and the Rams have run for the second-most. Passing, scoring, points given up and other indicators fall pretty much right in line with the one mentioned above.
Bears/Niners:
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on the Bears but have come to realize that there’s nary a Manolo Blahnik in sight. Rook San Fran tackle McGlinchey has cut his baby teeth on the likes of Von Miller, Dee Ford, Melvin Ingram and Chandler Jones but now it’s Big Fella time with a Mack trucking into his view.
Steelers/Saints:
Ingram and Kamara are called Boom and Zoom? Did The Wiggles win the naming contest? The Ravens win yesterday means that if Pitt wins out they’re in. If not, it then becomes a matter of dunking for the largest turds (Steelers, Colts, Ravens and Titans) in the septic pit that is the AFC’s second-level teams.
Shitter’s full!
This horrible game is going to drag on forever, isn’t it?
If AZ scores, will they go for two and try to beat the spread?
Listening to the Niners in radio. Did it look as dumb as it sounds?
You’re going to have to be more Pacific.
Run, DJ, run!!
that was almost catch of the season, toes too big
Don’t tell me that Brown caught that. Insane.
Solace taken in the $140 I shall cash with PIT win
Easiest marks on the planet
I say with 100% sincerity that I hope the person collecting this money just keeps it and fucks off to some Pacific island with it.
YUUUUUPPPPP
If they’re going to have a Pereira-bot, they should update its software
Damn it, Yinzers gonna win and I need to cheer for Black Panthers’ practice squad to win at NO next week.
I totally forgot Richard Sherman plays for the 49ers.
FULL HEEL TURN
Welcome to your early onset Alzheimers. The actors paid to play your kids are ready to speak to you now.

Richard Sherman needs to be tossed
yeah he done lost his mind
Spielman saying “no harm, no foul,” like Sherman didn’t run over and throw punches
If he was a midget…
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!
If Chi**** wins, that Gigantes/Non-Gendered Cowpersons tilt will be all practice squadders
I’m so sad this annual tilt between the 49ers and Bears will end this year as I’ll miss this extra-special inept football each December.
Khalil Mack making that tackle that far downfield is both sad and impressive
ok. Bears playing down or 9’ers playing up or both or something else. Do 9’ers match up well?
emotional let down game, they’ve hung in pretty well really. And SF has been playing better this month.
Yeah, it’s both and continued failure of Nagy to give Jordan Howard the fucking ball
Badly missing Eddie Jackson too.
I CALL DONALD TRUMP AN ALTERNATIVE HORSE BREEDER BECAUSE HE’S NOT STABLE.
c’mon, 1 DJ score, 1 Buster score, and I can have a 5% chance of victory Monday night
I’d rather see Goff throw some pick sizes for Bears’ sakes
we both get fuckall
he jumped over his neighbours!
Man, Ingram got lucky as fuck there.
TUNA ON RYE COMIN’ IN HOT!
/well, not hot, it’s got some Hellman’s on it
Bitchin’ Kamara! Bitchin’ Kamara!
Oh hey, there are Saints fans here too
I think they’re actually louder than the stillers fans
Nevermind. Stillers fans are chanting now
Michelob: The official beer people who love burpees
Neat, now I have a good reason for not drinking Michelob!
I say go for two
King Hippo gon’ take the DFO League title it appears
That means I gotta give him a trophy?
(phrasing)
nah, you can tip the entertainers when I lose mah stupid bet with stupid Balls LOL
Oh Jeebus, don’t remind me.
Time for the giraffe?
Leonard Cohen can ball.
The Bears fans are sitting near the steelers fans
Every time I get annoyed with Thom’s voice, I remind myself he has to call 162 games with Yasiel Puig this year and I feel a bit better.
Redlegs crew is THE WORST
Southwestern Ohio will shit a traffic cone colored turd the first time Puig lines a ball off the center field wall but only gets a single.
please let one of them use the word “uppity”
I mean, Puig will just end up as tradebait but I’m sure he’ll fuck with the Cubs just enough to make me angry too
I’ll make sure to watch the Cincinnati feed when the Cubs play them next year.
Thom despises the Cubs which is why the 16-0 no-hitter against them a few years back was so great.
What is the everliving fuck is wrong with this team?
Institutional rot?
Great name for a metal band or an IPA.
the stink of Cody Parkey
Dok Zymm is kicking my ass as expected.
Hello 8th place.
My team really improved once I missed the playoffs, lol
Mine, on the other hand, did not.
Agree to disagree
LOL. You’re just pissed because I managed to beat you three times this year.
I mean, I couldn’t beat anyone else, but you.
I mean, duh
I kinda punked you this year like CB did me last year.
Sorry, but that’s funny.
My team was so shitty they didn’t even get to play a consolation game.
Buster playing a little better. Don’t worry, Chi**** folk. A prophecy is a prophecy.
Motherfucker they’re gonna fuck this one up aren’t they?
your bar is making those profits back now, with all the rage drankin
This place serves 40s in paper bags. It’s gotta be a shitshow
I kind of want to drink there now.
oh man, y’all lose you gots to go. Inanimate Carbon Boots On The Ground!
It’s too late now. Had I not already cracked a beer I might have gone after the missed field goal
All the excitement of drinking in an alley without the risk of being stabbed by a hobo!
or being confused FOR a hobo, if in Northern Ontario
Fuuuuuuck
Oh wow, there’s lots of them. Don’t know why I’m surprised
Methinks that settles my first-ever DFO fantasy title!
Congrats!
Congrats!
Chuh chuh
I should go over to free-drinks-until-someone-scores-bar and ask what today’s shitfest cost them.
This time of the year makes for interesting rooting choices. Why the fuck else would I be cheering for the Niners?
Do you have a masochistic streak? That’s the only other reason I can think of
Hard to dispute that being a Vikings fan and all.
Positive ID on the Steelers fan in the bar, cheering the flag
BLEERGH equal opportunity fuckery down Lose-iana way
nah, twas Fiona again, good call
Shit, if Akiem Hicks is hurt that is problems
Smart play call to keep NO from a favourable position to get more points
but fuck all y’all anyway
I heard a rumor that you need to score points to win. I think someone mentioned it in a post game presser
The 9ers are getting a lot of yards in Kittles and bits
Meow!
best player on the team gets THREE touches in first half (on on a trick play), yeah that’s Steve Wilks
Pam Oliver seems cool
I’d wreck that chick.
Oh I’m reading Arizona will fire Wilks at the end of the year.
That’s good. Bidwill always has some meat to throw to the wolves to distract them from the franchise’s ownership problem.
Is that better or worse than reveling in the hatred of the fans, knowing they can’t do a damn thing about it and will keep buying tickets to your shithole stadium?
Howdy. Was watching the game on a delay so avoided the liveblog. Now I’m popping in to say
Fuck Cody Parkey
No thanks! – Mrs. Parkey
Frankly, I can’t believe he’s not butter.
