Whenever top qbs get the monster contract the team has to be lights out in the draft to stay elite. Or have Belichick

Detroit Lions win 16 to 13 on a field goal in final seconds. Pretty boring game till last 4 minutes or so, except for a cool reverse running play. Wish there was more of those type of plays in the NFL. Lions kicker earned his pay for sure.
Quoted from Erik:Sam Bradford on Thanksgiving. What a treat
You called that one!
Sam Bradford won the game......for the Lions.

I'll take it.
why did they have to show the dance between bell and brown after the brown touchdown? Is it me or is collingsworth monotone voice putting anyone else to sleep.
FINALLY a fake punt. Something I've been sceaming for for a long time.
ok, turning game off after that last touchdown dance. I bet you they have an award show for best celebration dance instead of the iron men awards at the end of the season. Its like the old emmitt smith days. You get a touchdown, run to the nearest cameraman and yank your helmet off. Man I hated that.
Quoted from MrBellMan:FUCK YES!!! GO RAIDERS!!!
I've watched quite a few of their games this year. This is not a fluke! They are playing great.
Cowboys, Pats, and Raiders are the best 3 teams in the NFL right now imo.
My dream of a Cowboys vs Raiders Super Bowl remains alive and well. 
ESPN was saying the only team in the NFC better than the Giants 8-3 is the Cowboys 10-1 and that lone loss came from... the Giants. It would truly be a new era for the Cowboys if they can get past the Giants. In the recent past they've always folded when it mattered.
It'll be interesting to see if the Giants are as good as their record suggests. They are on a six game winning streak against mostly flawed teams but the last five games include at Steelers, rematch with the Cowboys, NFC North leading Lions, and away games at Eagles and Redskins.
Quoted from RobT:That Kansas City vs Denver game was crazy!
Collinsworth got his wish. And along with that Denver loss, and Miami's win, it looks like the Dolphins have moved up into wildcard territory, so it seems so did I.
Quoted from RobT:This one gets my vote:
When I watched it live I thought Kap went down way too early and could have made a much better effort to get to the endzone on the last play of the game. Then I realized it was Suh and he was going to decapitate him and thought he made the right choice.
Quoted from TheLaw:I realized it was Suh and he was going to decapitate him
He's saving that one for Brady.
Seriously, except for the Cowboys, Raiders, and Patriots, no team is as hot as the Dolphins right now. And they are looking to move on up the ladder.
Quoted from TheLaw:When I watched it live I thought Kap went down way too early and could have made a much better effort to get to the endzone on the last play of the game. Then I realized it was Suh and he was going to decapitate him and thought he made the right choice.
...and as a result, it was Alonso who almost decapitated him.

When things matter he always takes a knee.

Giants have won 6 straight and are the only team that has beaten the Cowboys.
Quoted from SteveO:Giants have won 6 straight and are the only team that has beaten the Cowboys.
They are rolling too...
Don't sleep on the Bucs either.... Won 3 straight and aren't far behind the Falcons in the NFC south. They also just handed it to the Hawks..
I lost last week's fantasy game by one point a week after winning by one point. That puts me at 6-6 on ESPN and tied with four other guys for the last spot in the playoffs. My point total is low so I need everyone else to lose this last game coming up.
I'm 8-4 on CBS with two games left. I'm in a tough division out of 3 so only one wildcard and I'm up one game for that spot. Still a chance I might win division though.
I've really taken a liking to CBS' Fantasy set up. They have a lot more tools and stats to look through than ESPN.
How's everyone else doing?
Quoted from Erik:the standings for the (mostly) pinsider league:
Man it's crazy how you pretty much live or die based off your quarterback. I'll have to keep that in mind next year. Gonna draft like 5 of them just to keep them off other people's teams.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Man it's crazy how you pretty much live or die based off your quarterback. I'll have to keep that in mind next year. Gonna draft like 5 of them just to keep them off other people's teams.
Yeah, I drafted completely wrong for this league. I took Tyrod Taylor, who in regular leagues is a great fantasy guy cause of the rushing. He sucks in this league cause he only throws 150 yards in a game.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I've really taken a liking to CBS' Fantasy set up. They have a lot more tools and stats to look through than ESPN.

CBS isn;t perfect but it's decent. Of course it costs cash to hold on to your league which sucks but whatever.
Clinched Playoff spot - 7-5 with the 2nd to worst coach ranking...I've boned myself every goddamn week.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I'm still a little skeptical of them.
ha that's the crazy thing aboot this season, almost no one is trustworthy. NYG has won 6 in a row against whom? SAme bunch of losers everyone else is beating. Ravens, Cinci, rams, Bears, Browns...hard to get pumped aboot that.
I'm 5-7 in one league with 4th highest points scored for. I need two teams to lose in that one, in order for me to have a chance.
I'm 7-5 in the other and just looking to see who I might face in the playoffs.
No idea if I have a chance or not in flanks league. Haha

Like you said, you should be able to come up with a good guess based upon the qb match-up!
Quoted from Erik:Like you said, you should be able to come up with a good guess based upon the qb match-up!
True but I meant I'm not sure how many teams make the playoffs.
Teabaggers have had a tough year in that league. 3rd most points, most points against, 8th place.
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Yeah, I drafted completely wrong for this league. I took Tyrod Taylor, who in regular leagues is a great fantasy guy cause of the rushing. He sucks in this league cause he only throws 150 yards in a game.
Didn't you guys say the points format is really umm... unique? It seems tailor made for flank who's riding a 10 game winning streak.

QBs get points for completions every ten yards passing 6 pt TDs and bonuses for number of TDs and yards. They regularly get over 100 points.

Yikes. Kirk Cousins must have had a monster game last week with his 41 completions, 449 yards passing, and 3 TDs.

He was benched for stafford. Kirk scored 124 points.
