Wasn't that last tilt a keeper? (writing this at noon EST) They don't get much better than that! And the ending-I did not see that coming. Onward. To The Game! Steelers/Ravens: Flowers For None: Zay has been ruled out of the game. Ordinarily I'd think that a receiving corps whose best wr is Rashod

Someone once said, "If you don't have anything good to say about anyone, come here and have a seat beside me." My guess is Dorothy Parker because she had all the good quips but I think it was a society dame in reality. Like, we all tend to lean towards lower-seeded

That's about all we've got for football this evening folks. We watched all 272 regular season games (maybe not all of them) and now it's time for the important ones. I'll throw a few things at you and then you can do your thing. -The Bears have asked to speak to Mike

It really doesn't get much better than this. That it comes from the NFC North is a question that football historians will debate even two weeks from now. I remember way back in the day when the one win Giants and Niners met on a Sunday(?) night in 1990. This

Things get very tense in this here slate. The games? Sure. But we'll get to Geno Smith eventually. To The Games! Chiefs/Broncos: Redshirt of all folks knows what the score is here. Denver gets the advantage of home and their starters actually playing. Kansas City gets the advantage of always, always winning squeakers. Chargers/Raiders: Vegas

Twelve DFO bucks is all I have left. Well, that and my dignity. Wait... To The Games! Panthers/Falcons: Carolina was briefly putting some points on the board but they've gone back to their tried and true ways and have scored but 13 the last two weeks so up-and-down Atlanta should roll. Should. Commies/Cowboys: Washington has

Kidding! Since Burrow came along the tilts between the two have carried quite a bit of weight. Some observations and then an intro- -Are the Texans the weakest team headed into the playoffs? I think Tampa's offense can beat anyone if Baker is cooking. (get it?) Though Houston is 5-1 in

Yeah, there will be a third for the evening game. Look who has too much time on his hands/is ignoring chores! Here's a few things that caught my eye. -Much like teams obeying The Rooney Rule but in reverse, I think Vrabel interviewing for the Jets job is a "going through

Let's get right to it, shall we? Fallout: -Hello Pyrrhic Victory: The Giants won yesterday because they can't do anything right. All it took was for Drew Lock of all people, to have the 6th-highest Expected Points Added per throw since 1999. That puts him up there with Manning, Brady, Brees and

I thought that this would be a more engaging game but here we are. To The Game! Falcons/Commies: -I grabbed Atlanta as the 'sneaky good' team of 2024 but like most of my thinkings I was incorrect. -Is Pitts anything other than the biggest bust at tight end we've seen in quite some time?

Just the both, huh? [prepares yet another rant about scheduling] Bah, never mind! To The (twin) Games! Fins/Browns: -This is the one no one is watching! -Does anyone regard Miami as a playoff team? -They're so meh this year. (I've been told that the new word is 'mid') My apologies. -To me there's a pall over
