So many legit teams this year. Each with there own style and path to the Super Bowl. Why it’s the best gift a football fan could get...
Except if you’re a Cowboys fan, then it feels like tax day

Nonsense, it's tax return time for Dallas fans, they're getting a new coach!
Vancouver, BC
Quoted from RWH:Yeah I'm not really convinced that's such a great move. Didn't see much out of him the last season he played but hell hope it works out! Could just make the playoffs that much more exciting in the NFC west!
He averages 4.2 yards per carry. I think it will work out fine. 
Got any better ideas when you lose 2 of your starting running backs late in the season?
Quoted from Nilroc:Got any better ideas when you lose 2 of your starting running backs late in the season?
Yeah I think it gives the team a little boost and a needed RB. Don't expect him to light the world on fire but not a bad mood.
Quoted from Nilroc:He averages 4.2 yards per carry.
You mean he did average 4.2 and I'm not saying it won't be great for you. I just think it's a big risk is all.
Lynch signing is act of desperation. Might work but basically their hand is forced to
do it.
I like my Niner’s position much better than with a healthy Carsen.
Lynch might come out and go crazy but playing the percentages that is not going to happen.

Its shocking to me that they don't have a few running backs on their practice squad.....who knows how he'll perform as he hasn't strap em up in years....he might be just fine....Niners haven't won up there is 7 years so they better bring their A game or their gonna get their ass kicked even though they are a far superior team.

Good one Rondogg.
The comments to the article are quite funny, hammering the Pats and Pats fans, etc.
Merry Christmas to all.
Go Saints!
Merry Christmas Dirtbag!
P.s.: I'm 58, and this is the first time I've ever said Merry Christmas and dirtbag in the same sentence. Feels pretty good actually. 
Maybe Seahawks promised M.L. that they would give him the ball on some 1st and goal, 2nd and goal, 3rd and goal situations, and let him score some td's during playoff games to help make amends for past screwups of years ago when they didn't give him the ball.
Quoted from dirtbag66:Happy holidays to everyone I've pissed off in here.
Go Browns.
Let’s all agree, we’re all passionate fans and have our teams..but I do wish a merry x mas to all filled with love and happiness..and..

I'd love to see a Chiefs / Niners Super Bowl.....

You’re from Canada, the land of many trees, and you blaspheme with a fake tree? No super bowl for you.

Love the topper.
Quoted from Daditude:Only one day of football this coming week. No Thursday, no Saturday, no Monday.
Sunday only.
I'm ready for the playoffs. Alot of teams will be playing their scrubs the rest of the year probably

This will not be true for Seahawks vs 49ers. The return of Marshawn is going to blow the roof off the place. Metaphorically speaking, as the Clink doesn't have a roof.

It used to, but they blew it off
Sunday 12/29/19 games:
Browns favored by 2-1/2 to 3 points over the Bengals in Cincy.
Could be a real pride fight even though both teams out of playoffs.
Go Browns!
I may root for the Bengals to do good next year depending on who they draft/sign.
Dolphins at N.E., Pats favored by 15-1/2 points. Go Dolphins!
Chargers at K.C. Chiefs favored by 8-1/2 to 9 points. Go Chiefs!
Saints favored by 13 over Panthers at Carolina. Go Saints! 
Saints trying to get a 1st round bye, and more playoff games w/ home field adv.
Steelers at Baltimore. Steelers favored by 1-1/2 to 2 points. Go Ravens!
I guess oddsmakers feel that Ravens will rest key players and might not try hard to win. Plus Steelers are in a must-win situation.
Titans at Houston. Titans favored by 3 to 3-1/2 points. Big game for Titans. Go Titans!
They need to win the game to ensure earning last AFC wildcard spot. (edited/corrected).
Best not to count on Steelers losing. Steelers will be trying hard to win
Raiders at Denver. Broncos favored by 3-1/2 points. Go Raiders!
SNF game: 49ers at Seattle, 49ers favored by 3. Go Seahawks! 
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Browns favored by 2-1/2 to 3 points over the Bengals in Cincy
Bengals will whip Clevelands ass Sunday, mark my words!
Quoted from RWH:The Steelers may get in due to Baltimore resting players as the only reason. The Steelers and many more teams for that matter are no match for Baltimore this season.
Bengals kick some ass Sunday!
What better way to end the season than kicking Clevelands ass and then drafting Joe Burrow #1? Sounds pretty good to me. See ya Andy Dalton you Ronald McDonald look MF!
Quoted from Who-Dey:Andy Dalton you Ronald McDonald look MF!
That's no way to talk about Foghorn Leghorn. lol Really Andy did a lot of good things in Cincy, we went to the playoffs 5 times in a row which is no easy feat. I can't say anything wrong about him and wish him the best if and when he goes. I'm thinking they will keep him his last year to help mentor the new QB.

Im just glad he's going to be gone. Ive had enough of the Andy Dalton era. I dont hate him or anything but hes just an average QB at best, i dont care what his stats say. He makes too many critical mistakes.

What's your chili confidence level?
Quoted from Deaconblooze:What's your chili confidence level?
Very high, lol we swear by it. I'll eat a nice 4-way of Skyline and follow that with a bowl of Gold Star. Have you ever eaten Skyline or Gold Star, not the can crap either, or frozen stuff. Neither do them any justice, you need it fresh and hot. I like Texas style chili also, eat it every time I go visit my sis in Belton.
Quoted from TheLaw:Beans in chili is a fucking disgrace.
So I’m finding out lol.
This my go to every time I make chili. Brown up some ground beef and toss in the crock pot with the cooking sauce and spices. It's a great base to start with and then tweak it however you want. Sometimes I will add some black or red kidney beans. Other times I'll do nothing. Sometimes I will substitute the beef broth with beer. Adding some diced tomatoes that disintegrate in the crock pot tastes good also. It all depends on how I'm feeling that day, but have never had any complaints no matter how it was done.

Totally agree with all of this, Carson has been great this year. Lynch was great a few years ago... but he was slowing down at Oakland and has been out of the game for a year. We just don't know how he will perform, he's a wild card. I think it's a major morale booster for a battered up team that just lost a game and two running backs, going into their most important game of the season. All we really need from Lynch and Turbin in some 3-4 yard pick ups here and there, Russell Wilson and the defense will do the rest. I do think Lynch feels like he has more to prove as a football player and he would love another Superbowl ring, so he's personally motivated and has been training for a few weeks, but he's still hella rusty.
Quoted from TheLaw:Beans in chili is a fucking disgrace.
They refuse to call it chili if it has beans in the Texas town where my sis lives. lol
Quoted from nwpinball:Lynch feels like he has more to prove as a football player and he would love another Superbowl ring, so he's personally motivated and has been training for a few weeks, but he's still hella rusty.
As I said before I think they'll just use him as the hammer in short yardage (1-2 yds.) situations.
Quoted from Deaconblooze:What's your chili confidence level?
Skyline chilli rocks!

Newenglandclamchowdercheats.com is good for info too, but the posters there get upset because apparently every clam chowder does, not just those of the New England variety.
I’m as amused as anybody by the return of Beast Mode, but realistically he’s old, he’s probably in terrible shape, and he has a ton of miles on him.
I wouldn’t expect much.
