Let’s keep it rolling.
For those of you doing that fantasy thingy I’ve got some injury updates for you.
-Lamar is still out but Huntley is good to go.
-Jeff Wilson is questionable and was limited in practice yesterday.
-Denver Update: just kidding, if you’re in the playoffs it’s likely that you didn’t use anyone from their O. Not lately, anyway.
-Both Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are ‘trending in the right direction’ which is good news because things looked bleak earlier in the week.
-Poor Texas-Dameon Pierce has joined wr’s Collins and Cooks on the “Out” list for tomorrow’s game.
-Pickett is out with a head owie. Seems like The Shield has quietly told teams that if a player is at all ‘iffy’ that they should sit out another week. That way teams could be perceived as caring for their player’s welfare.
-OF COURSE Kadarius Toney continues to be out with a hammy.
To The Game!
Ravens/Browns:
-Cleveland has an effective run game yes, but Stefanski is receiving increased criticism that he is slow to make in-game changes when things aren’t working. As someone who had to watch Jason Garrett for a year and change, I can understand/relate to the frustration.
-Dobbins was lights-out in his return from injury last week. No limited snap counts for him. As a matter of fact he had more touches than Edwards-he converted those 15 carries into 120 yards and a score.
-Why are the 5-win Browns favored by 3? A division game, a home game and a lack of Lamar are my guesses. Still, seems odd.
-Ronnie Stanley should have a longish day dealing with Myles Garrett who has 13 sacks and 58 pressures so far this year.
Keep it going.
Did I mention that I got suspended from Reddit for a week for mistakenly referring to a trans person as “dude”?
I missed the Ravens game. Well, most of it. Partly because I was reffing a major brawl between the two older Fozz Spawn. Happy Holidays!
Just got the email from my mom being concerned about me being in Peru, assume there was something on NPR about it
Why not see if you can claim the throne?
Yeah I heard the CIA has their best men on the case. Wait a second…. or just what do we know about this “Doktor” “”Zymm”” anyway?
I can have the Fozz Urban Assault Squad wheels up in an hour.
One of my fine boys let one of the dogs out (woof, etc.) at 4am this morning and promptly fell asleep. I let her back in and couldn’t get back to SleepyTown. I’m going to bed now, having been up for 15 1/2 hours. Good night.
Late Thread be in 43 minutes, fyi
Damn! Lesser footy in Oz stopped midway because people stormed the field and brained a keeper with a fire bucket!
All because they don’t want the final in Sydney?

Gonna wrap some presents with the lovely Mrs GTD whilst listening to Xmas music. I assume my odds of getting through this and still being in the LDB challenge are slim to none
It seems to be less popular than it was. I would bet you hear ‘last christmas’ before LDB
Future Islands did a version of it, so the hipster community may be bringing Last Christmas back this year.
Have heard last Christmas 3 times already. Wtf
If it was the LC challenge, we’d all be out day 2 or 3
Wait long enough, #ThePauls will always Paul it up.
Friend of mine said they were gonna be good this year. I said, but they’re the Browns.
The 5-8 Raiders are in the hunt. For PF Chang’s groupons.
They’re just trolling Rikki at this point.
I mean you could have said the same thing last year and we all saw what happened.

I have on the teevee only washington v fresno, but they got little kids going woo, so that’s good, but it’s named after Jimmy Kimmel, so that’ ehw
Just enjoy that wonderful game. I mean, who doesn’t love Fresno State? Besides people who hate kittens and puppies
*Checks score, feels affirmed in choice of going to trivia instead of trying to watch game via slow internet*
Also, wait, what? Vikings?
My choices tonight were to play several rounds of Family Feud with my wife’s aunts and uncles or get drunk and watch sports on tv and make jokes on a wonky blog that forces me to log back in EVERY SINGLE TIME I leave the site. I made my choice but I wish someone would try to lift a finger and fix it.
Tell your wife’s uncles to let you play kissy host Richard Dawson. God helps those who help themselves 🙏
Otherwise, try refresh after the first login.
Oh he was touchy!
Truly a mothergroper.
I’m just tired of clicking 5 times every time I want to get on to the site. I’m sure that’s a hurdle that new commenters can’t be bothered with.
Have they…uh, added melanin to the hellscape elf at midfield? Or is that just accumulated soot (on top of the sadness)?
The elf matches the team’s starting QB/leading criminal.
That elf is a migrant worker at the North Pole
Santa weren’t fucking around when he say he gon’ break that union!

Rich Eisen? I (gladly) thought he stopped being a thing years ago.
Part of me is happy that this will overshadow all those leads the Raiders have blown this season. A bigger part of me is sad that it is fully possible they will be the only team that Jeff Saturday beats in his NFL career as a head coach.
Oh, no. I have to root for the Browns.
You guys will still respect me tomorrow, right?
1) #ThePauls
2) uh….no
“Respect you? Hell, I’ll be showing up at exactly the same time!” – Robert Kraft
Omg. You’ll have to cheer for another team with a long history of losing? I’m not sure how you’ll be able to adjust…
Think Jeff has to change his name now.
Going forward he can be referred to as Jeff Losetoday.
It seems to me that Saturday has some good preparation going into games, but half time adjustments are not his thing.
My theory is that he’s a barely adequate high school coach that is so in over his head that no lifeguard could possibly bring him back to life.
Nah, he came within a point of beating the Eagles in his second week. He’s in over his head, but nothing outrageous. More like a “Doug Martin in the shallow end” level over his head.
WTF, is someone getting some dental work done in the broadcast booth?
Just realized Yeah Right will have missed the comeback.
He was aware of it, but I believe he will have missed overtime.
I just got home, what the fuck happened?/
Chaos. Chaos ensued.
Remember that conspiracy theory that the NFL is fixing games to make them close?
Actually, no, not this time. Between the phantom facemask call on the punt and the early whistle on the fumble return touchdown, the officials actually almost stopped the Vikings comeback all by themselves.
That chick in the banner photo better not be handed a steak knife.
My kinda gal, I would 100% let her stab me.
I mean, I’d like to have sex with her first. But yeah, once that’s in the books, I’ll feel like the ledger is balanced.
Oh what a time for a safety.
Bad spot. That was on the 1
Let’s see how Cousins screws this up.
Mother of BLEERGH.
