The Official Week 14 Other Games Thread

[Tyrion Lannister]

If our beloved Packers don't take care of business, we may find ourselves rooting for "da" Bears, especially when they play "the" Lions.

Personally, I've always had a soft spot for Jay-C (except when he goes against my beloved Packers, of course), mainly because I've always had a soft spot for the downtroddens.

Looks like fans of the Balding Eagles, the Seagulls, the Gold Diggers, the Sparrows, the Kittens, and even The Shadow will be cheering for da Bears tonight.

Bears down!

[woodbuck27]

Is this a TRAP game for the Dallas Cowboys?

IMO it shouldn't be.

[woodbuck27]

I'm shocked Mike Ditka picks:

Nice find. Bears are on a 3 games win streak against the Cowboys.

** The Jay Cutler Factor in 2014.

NFL on ESPN

Jay Cutler throwing the ball fewer than 5 yards: 79.3 completion %

Jay Cutler throwing the ball further than 5 yards: 49.5 completion %

[woodbuck27]

The Dallas Cowboys are undefeated on the road THIS SEASON.


The History:

Tony Romo is currently 2-5 with a 60 percent completion rate in games played under 40 degrees.


Is December the real Dallas Cowboys killer?

The long-term implications of dropping one to the Bears would almost certainly derail the Boys chances of reaching the postseason.

It's now 35-7 Cowboys nearing the end of the 3rd Qtr.

I think the mercy rule should come into effect and Marc Trestman FIRED!

That man looks likes the saddest person on the planet.

[Joemailman]

I have 31.5 points from DeMarco Murray so far. :glug:

[woodbuck27]

Bears score a TD !

Score 35 Boys - 13 Bears.

The extra point attempt was blocked. LOL.

[woodbuck27]

Well the Bears score again and it's a three possession game but wait....

yes the Bears get the ball right back on the 'onside' KO. The Bears work the ball down to the Dallas 10 yard line....and the score again.

Dallas 38 - Chicago 28 ... 'a Ten Point game' and 6:09 remains in the 4th Qtr.

Yaa never know.

[woodbuck27]

You can count on it.

Cutler gets picked.

Dallas will win this road game and be the only team in the NFL undefeated (6-0) on the road.

RE: The Chicago Bears

" This is the worst five-win team in the league. It's depressing they have another primetime game.

7. This was such a typical Jay Cutler game. You can't point to terrible play, but the Bears offense just doesn't add up to the sum of their parts until it's too late. The Bears scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter after the score was 35-7. Ultimately, Cutler, Martellus Bennett, and Alshon Jeffery put up an epic garbage time performance that only helped their fantasy owners."

Da Bears suck.

The Bears Can Dump Jay Cutler's Contract After The Season


By: Brian Rauf | Nov 10, 2014

Comment woodbuck27:

It looks to me like Marc Trestman is all but done in Chicago. It seems prudent to me that the Bears look to replace Jay Cutler as well.

The Bears have to re-build. Top to bottom and on both sides of the ball (especially on 'D') the team needs work.

Superb Players like RB Matt Forte WR Alshon Jeffrey are wasted with their current offense. Why?

The main cog or QB Jay Cutler seems to be on some other planet a lot of the time.

[Fritz]

The Bears continue to suck.

I am fervently rooting for a Lions' upset at the hands of Lovie's lowly Bucs, but that is unlikely. More than that, I am rooting for a Packer win. And a Seattle loss.

[George Cumby]

So, we're Eagles, Chiefs, Raiders and TB fans today, eh?

[pbmax]

So, we're Eagles, Chiefs, Raiders and TB fans today, eh?

Seattle-Philly game is weird in that objectively, Philly losing gives the Packers some breathing room for home field. But no one wants Seattle close enough to risk a road playoff game there and they own the tiebreaker with the Pack.

Best of worlds Arizona to stay ahead of Hawks but loses an in conference game in coming weeks. Ideally, they lose to 49ers and beat the Hawks. But that is really trying to thread a needle.

Bruce Arians is a hell of a coach, but I can't see them holding off Seattle. They're facing 4 tough defenses without their starting QB. Packers may need to run the table to get the #1 seed.

[digitaldean]

Cardinals may have issues rest of the way. Ellington has a hip pointer and a sports hernia. He may be headed to IR (per PFT). Add to that Stanton's inconsistent play, that D can't do everything for them.

I want Seattle to lose out. If they win today, that could be a bad omen because they could end up with home field advantage again given wins over GB and possibly Philly.

Niners have at OAK, at SEA, SD and AZ. Seachickens have @PHI, SF, @AZ, STL. AZ could fold because I don't see them beating either SF or SEA the way that offense has been. SF, IMO, would go 2-2 (3-1 at best), where SEA could go 3-1 (possibly 4-0). AZ will probably go 2-2 at best (more than likely getting swept by SEA)

Then it's easy to see we need to go '4' more wins.

Plan for and play every game like it's playoff's, 'sudden death'.

[Pugger]

Our best chance for Seattle to lose a game is probably today in Philly. We presently have a one game lead on Seattle so if they stumble today we can still lose a game this season and still end up with the #1 seed in the NFC if we end up with a tie with the Eagles.

[digitaldean]

Agree, Woody. The good thing about this is that they have keep pushing and playing for something instead of resting players. Not that that's the worst thing, but I think it keeps the Packers sharper.

Take care of their own business, like the media cliches go, and the Packers will have a first round bye.

[digitaldean]

After a pick six by Vikes, Jets have retaken lead. WOW, Carolina already up by 10 on Saints at Superdome.

[digitaldean]

Saints getting killed by Carolina. Never thought that Saints would be a turnover machine vs. Carolina. Not out of the 1st yet and they have a fumble and an INT.

[pbmax]

That defense doing it to Brees makes no sense. They getting a lot of pressure?

The Immortal Charles Johnson has a long TD in Vikes game.

[pbmax]

If things haven't changed since the 70s, losing to the Bengals sets off tornado sirens in Pittsburgh. People should prepare and get to the basement.

[pbmax]

Saints are just mailing it in. Thanks schedule makers.

[pbmax]

Jay Gruden's hand picked QB has led them to a shutout today. At some point, perhaps it will occur to someone in Washington that the problem is either ALL the QBs or the offense just stinks out loud at times.

[pbmax]

Within the next year Bretsky will be clamoring for THIS GUY™ to be the next Packers Head Coach.

Jay Gruden on team/player motivation: "If I have to motivate a pro football player to play football, we need to get new pro football players"

I can't wait for the Cowboys or Lions to hire him.

Joe Fortenbaugh ‏@JoeFortenbaugh 1m1 minute ago
In just 7 snaps, Kaepernick has already been credited with: INT, Sack, Delay of Game penalty, incompletion, loss of 7 on a run.

San Fran doing it's best to make their game @ Oakland close:

Oakland leads 10-7 about 5 minutes into the 2nd Qtr.

[woodbuck27]

The Immortal Charles Johnson has a long TD in Vikes game.

Minny's WR Charles Johnson had another solid day. 4 receptions for 103 yards and 1 TD.


The GIANTS WR O'Dell Beckham is putting a stamp on the Offensive Rookie Of The Year Award.

Today he was again solid. 11 catch's for 130 yards an 11.8 Y/c and 1 TD.

Seattle's offense is dead if Russell Wilson ever suffers any sort of leg injury that prevents him from running. Right now I'd probably spy him with with a safety.

[woodbuck27]

It's funny how the cream rises to the top as road dogs came through.

Baltimore (over Miami at Home) and Pittsburgh (over Cincy at Home) both won huge games today.

Aaron Schatz ‏@FO_ASchatz 1m1 minute ago
The problem with the PHI offense seems to be lack of mid-range pass routes. Screens, crosses, deep stuff. Nothing 15 yards.

Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell were outstanding today.

[pittstang5]

So who do we want to win - Seattle or Philly?

I hate both with a passion.

PHI. Any scenario that reduces or complicates the Seahawks or 49er's playoff chances is good for the Packers.

[woodbuck27]

Holy Cow !

San Fran is down to the Oakland 2 yard line and it's 4th and goal and the score is tied @ 10.

Jiim Harbaugh elects to kick a FG against a one win team.

The Result:

FG P.Dawson 20 yd. Field Goal Drive: 9 plays, 44 yards in 4:21

The SCORE: San Fan 13 - Oakland 10.

That's just a shameful chicken shit decision on Jim Harbaugh's part.

So on the next series Oakland pushes it down field for a TD and a 17-13 lead.

Not really going their way. First and only lead was off fumbled punt snap that lead to a TD. Only one other score into 3rd Q.

Cardinals just lost Cromartie to a leg injury.

OAKLAND 24 - san fran 13

[woodbuck27]

Hope Arizona can hang on for the win...anything that helps keep the playoffs from going thru Seattle is what I'm cheering for.

You get your wish.

Alex Smith just threw 3 incomplete pass's and KC turned the ball over on downs.

It's be Arizona 17 - KC 14.

[woodbuck27]

It will soon be san fran 13 - OAKLAND 27

FIRE Jim Harbaugh before he gets off the field.

Nope their CRAZY out thee in California. It was 4th and 6 on the San Fran 6 yard line and David Carr ran the ball?

He was SACKED back another 11 yards or so.

Last Play - 00:17 Q4

(:17) (Shotgun) C.Kaepernick SACKED at SF 1 for -9 yards (K.Mack).

So the score remains OAKLAND 24 - san fran 13.

What a mess San Fran is in.

[denverYooper]

That train is going to be hard to stop. Need to stay one game ahead of Seahawks.

This is going to be how it has to be, looks like. Seahawks just crushed the Eagles in Philly. The Packers probably need to win out to keep the rematch in Lambeau.
