Official Week 15 Other Games Thread

[pbmax]

If you love defensive football or are an insomniac, the battler of Drew Stanton versus Shaun Hill is a taut affair; currently at 6-3, Birds leading.

It would be very nice of Jeff Fisher to make this one of his 8 wins this season. And its in St. Louis.

[pbmax]

Arizona's playoff picture is about to change drastically. They just hauled Drew Stanton off into the locker room. Looked to be a pretty bad injury.

C'mon Coach Fisher, bring it home.

[pbmax]

Radio said 6 of Rams front seven are 1st or 2nd round picks. Cousin Oliver played by a 7th round guy.

[digitaldean]

Now 9-3 Cards. Not only is it going the wrong way, with these 2 QB's it makes one remember what the Packers could have if they didn't have Rodgers.

[Maxie the Taxi]

pb, these are two teams that know how to play defense. Rams have the horses up front and Arizona has the CB's to enable all out blitz's.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Wow, Tom Moore! Didn't know he was still in the NFL.

[pbmax]

pb, these are two teams that know how to play defense. Rams have the horses up front and Arizona has the CB's to enable all out blitz's.

True, but each is being helped by extra-ordinary bad offensive football. Cards went to a 3 TE set when Stanton went off. Its going to look like Tebow out there.

More puzzling are the Rams. Hill is functional and they have Tavon Austin (sp?) but they have something like 4 yards this half. And that Arizona D is beat up.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Janoris Jenkins and Gaines for the Rams ain't bad CB's either.

[digitaldean]

Cards are now on to their 3rd string QB, Ryan Lindley. Stanton just got knocked out of the game. Maybe there's hope yet.

Arizona has their CB's jamming the receivers on the LOS and then blitzing the house. S. Hill just doesn't have time to think, much less pass.

[pbmax]

Wow, Tom Moore! Didn't know he was still in the NFL.

Yeah, he left and became a consultant when the NFL changed the retirement plan. I think he left Indy for good when Peyton exited. I wonder if he still is consulting only.

[pbmax]

They aren't blessed with great targets. Austin is a change of pace, quick guy.

[Maxie the Taxi]

This 3rd string QB for Arizona is going to turn it over sooner or later.

[pbmax]

This 3rd string QB for Arizona is going to turn it over sooner or later.

I am surprised they are putting it in his hands.

[pbmax]

Crawl on CBS Sports website:

Fantasy NFL Scoring Leaders: 1 C. Catanzaro ARI (9 PTS) 2 G. Zuerlein STL (3 PTS)

[Maxie the Taxi]

I am surprised they are putting it in his hands.

If running game keeps going, they won't have to.

[pbmax]

John Brown's body is no longer mouldering in the grave, he caught a pass for a first down.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Two score game now. That was a big field goal.

[Maxie the Taxi]

John Brown's body is no longer mouldering in the grave, he caught a pass for a first down.

I don't understand. Rams blitz but their CB's are playing 10-12 yards off the WR's. Even the 3rd stringer can throw against that.

[Tyrion Lannister]

The Rams' punter is really good.

[pbmax]

I don't understand. Rams blitz but their CB's are playing 10-12 yards off the WR's. Even the 3rd stringer can throw against that.

Yeah, I am not sure the point of that. Off coverage sure to see the throw, but behind the sticks?

[pbmax]

Thought the OPI call would kill that drive but forced Hill to throw something downfield at least.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I like the misdirection. It's effective against an aggressive defense like Cardinals'.

[Maxie the Taxi]

They got to throw it to Mason, not run him.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'd have gone for the TD. Rams haven't been remotely that close to the end zone all night long. If they miss it, the 3rd string QB has his back to the wall.

[pbmax]

You have got to be kidding me about a FG there. For Pete's sake you are not getting that close again. Punch it in or stick the Cards deep. You still need a TD with an offense that has had one drive this half.

[Maxie the Taxi]

We're on the same page.

[pbmax]

Twitter is killing Fisher and its only a matter of time before 4th Down Bot chimes in.

[pbmax]

We're on the same page.

Funny thing is, that this game has a decent chance on ending on something odd, most likely a ST play or turnover. The offenses aren't likely to put the game away, leaving time and chance for a mistake to decide it. Still not a good reason to still be down by six.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'd be willing to bet that the Rams score a safety with the Cardinals on their own one yard line.

[pbmax]

I'd be willing to bet that the Rams score a safety with the Cardinals on their own one yard line.

Fisher might be worried about the Cardinal run game. They are averaging 4.9 ypc and have over 100 yards. Its the one thing working on offense in this game.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Fisher might be worried about the Cardinal run game. They are averaging 4.9 ypc and have over 100 yards. Its the one thing working on offense in this game.

True, but now his offense has to take it 80 yards to pay dirt. Good luck with that. Maybe he'll make me eat crow. Fisher is one good coach.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Nice catch by Brit!

[pbmax]

True, but now his offense has to take it 80 yards to pay dirt. Good luck with that. Maybe he'll make me eat crow. Fisher is one good coach.

But like a lot of HC's from a defensive background, he is scared to death of offense and is ultra conservative. He would rather pull fake FGs and punts than be creative on offense. Former D coordinators seem to organize their offense around ideas they fear they are unprepared for. But its a terrible idea to base the entire O on that. See Ryan, Rex.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Nice catch by Brit!

He's caught a few tonight. He's pretty tough.

[pbmax]

Shaun Hill recalling his glory days with the Lions passing on the Packers like he was Paul Justin!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Ball game?

Even a fake FG in that situation would have worked for me.

[pbmax]

And Cards win. Arians must really fun to play for.

BTW, Potrykus is saying Paul Chryst will be the new Badger Football Head Coach.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Here we go with laterals and laterals.

[Tyrion Lannister]

BTW, Potrykus is saying Paul Chryst will be the new Badger Football Head Coach.

Say hello 7 more years of shitty quarterbacks.

If Wisconsin wants a 5-star QB to come to their program, they need an offensive-minded HC with NFL coaching experience.

Shoulda gone with Bevell or Sherman.

[Maxie the Taxi]

So Seattle gets to play Arizona with the 3rd or 4th string Cardinal QB under center. Poor guy is in for a world of hurt.

[pbmax]

Peter King applauded the decision to kick a FG. I wonder what he now thinks of the options:

Try for TD on 4th and less than 1 with 6 minutes on clock, get ball back around midfield for FG with under 2 minutes left.

Pray for Shaun Hill passing magic at mid-field with under 2 minutes left.

Peter King is a smug fuck.

Schatz at Football Outsiders did a nice analytic turnaround of Herm Edwards famous quote, speaking directly to King's point:

Some are saying the FG was wise to stay in the game with 6 minutes left. But the goal is to win it, not stay in it.

King also still fails to realize what an idiot he looked like when he ratted out the kids chasing a foul ball and then used his celebrity to collect the same ball. That's the way the world works to Peter. Its one thing to behave that way, but to then tell the story and expect to come out looking good is a level of obliviousness few can match.

It's hard to tell sometimes if you're trolling or you're fantastically ignorant. I like to assume it's the latter. The PSL can't find a job and you want UW to take him in? Is there circus music playing in your head 24/7?

It would do my spirit wonders to see Bevell named HC somewhere with Sherman as his OC/Assistant Head Coach. :)

Note: Sherman was the one who gave Bevell his first NFL gag.

Sherman proved in just 5 years at Texas A&M that he can develop and recruit hotshot QBs.

Ever since Alvarez took over the Wisconsin program, not once did the team had a hotshot QB, although Sorgi came close (Alvarez kept him on the bench, which was stupid). Wilson was a 1 and done ordeal, so he doesn't count.

Wisconsin needs a hotshot qb. Sherman knows how to recruit and develop hotshot QBs.

[George Cumby]

Russell Wilson?

Russell Wilson?

not a hotshot

He's not what I would call wrong, but just because you want a 5star QB to come to Wisconsin, doesn't mean it will happen. What other school in the B10 have a 1st round QB in the last 20 years? You have to get a 4 star guy and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. That's the only way a B10 team is going to win it all.

Kerry Collins was the last Big 10 QB drafted in the first round.
Before him, it was Harbaugh.

Let that sink in for a bit.

He's trolling and there are two tells:

1. Use of "hotshot QB" phrase repeatedly to establish bullshit criteria to measure success. Frames argument on the only turf that is friendly to him. Also meant to distract you from second piece of evidence.

2. Actual record of success of the idea he is promoting.

But college is different than pros, so draft round is a poor measure. How many first round draft picks won National Championships? Not Manning, not Leaf, not Rodgers, not Big Ben, not Marmalard Rivers, not Manning Jr., not Hotshot Tannehill.

Those that did: Matt Leinart and Vince Young.

NFL QBs not drafted in first round with Super Bowl wins: Brady, Flacco, Wilson, Brees, Brad Johnson, Warner, Favre, etc.

[George Cumby]

Go Queens, Whiners and Pokes?

No help there unless someone pulls out an improbable upset.

[Fritz]

Go Queens. I have a feeling the Pack is going to lose, so Minny could help if its defense can smother Megatron/Stafford/Tate and Teedy - and/or the defense - can get his team in the end zone a few times.

[esoxx]

I truly believe the Vikings can beat the Lions. They've been playing some good ball lately.

And I believe I have a shot with Jennifer Lawrence as I've been working out a lot lately. Hope is a good thing, I guess - no matter how hopeless a situation.

[Rastak]

Vikings defense has been solid and Teddy has been balling......

[esoxx]

Vikings 7
Lions 0

Honestly, Vikes have some good young players. Time to take notice.

[Rastak]

Vikings 7
Lions 0

Honestly, Vikes have some good young players. Time to take notice.

They are also down 4 starters, including 3 who were real impact players.....I know for the first time in a long time the Vikings are younger than the Pack. I really like the coaching staff they brought in.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Dammit, can't stand to watch other games when the Packers lose. Can't stand to watch sports shows also. Ditto, playing Madden.

O well, Netflix finally added the 3rd season of American Horror Story, so off I go.

[esoxx]

SF 7
Sea 3

Minn 14
Det 7

If these scores hold up the Packers will be no worse off than when the day started.

Teddy gagging right now.

Yea, two pretty bad throws.

OK it will be a FG and the score Vikings 14 - Lions 10 at half time.

[Rastak]

It was 14-0 with the Vikes at midfield 4 minutes ago.


Lead is a lead. One of the few times one can say Bridgewater is playing like Rodgers and have it be a negative.,

[woodbuck27]

The Jets at Titans in the 3rd Qtr. = a hockey score:

5-3 Titans.

[Joemailman]

Lead is a lead. One of the few times one can say Bridgewater is playing like Rodgers and have it be a negative.,

How have the Vikings been in 2nd halves this year?

[ThunderDan]

Lead is a lead. One of the few times one can say Bridgewater is playing like Rodgers and have it be a negative.,

I would rather the Vikes have a 10 point lead at half verses a 4 point lead.

[Rastak]

How have the Vikings been in 2nd halves this year?

Bridgewater has the rookie record for comebacks by a Viking rookie qb already....that said, they did let the Bills come back and win after they had that game signed sealed and delivered.

[Rastak]

I would rather the Vikes have a 10 point lead at half verses a 4 point lead.


Not me.

If they lose I'll be sorta pissed but two good things would sooth the pain.......better draft pick and keep the Lions right on your ass......:-)

[pittstang5]

I can't figure out why we want the Cowboys to win. Anyone care to explain.

[Joemailman]

Actually we would be on their ass and chocking from their exhaust.

They would leap to the top of the NFCN.

Our teams loss today could really hurt.

Arizona's win now was seriously bad for the Green Bay Packers.

Suddenly we're fighting for a playoff slot.

[woodbuck27]

I don't think we do. I think we want the Eagles to win because the Packers have tie-breaker over the Eagles.

Did it have to go this bad !

LOL

[esoxx]

My apologies. Joe is right.

But the big game for home field advantage is Sea-SF. 1O-7 Seahawks right now.

Go 9'ers!

[pittstang5]

Fuckin detroit, Fuckin seattle. We needed a win today. Smh

[Rastak]

Fuckin detroit, Fuckin seattle. We needed a win today. Smh


Detroit is winning with 53 seconds.....

[Teamcheez1]

Yeah. We probably just pissed away home field advantage to the Seahawks today. I don't see us winning there in the playoffs.

[Rastak]

Detroit with the close win.

[pittstang5]

Detroit is winning with 53 seconds.....
Yes, hence the Fuck them.

[Rastak]

Yes, hence the Fuck them.

Ignore my post, I think I had one too many beers....yea, I see your point.


Fuck 'em as you say

[woodbuck27]

So far this week it's been a worst case scenario in game results for the Green Bay Packers with Arizona and Seattle and Detroit all getting wins.

NO. 1 Seed !?

I just hope we can make the playoffs.

Next up: Dallas @ Philly and we know what we need there.

Then again.... the way the team played today. The way our team performs on the road.

Today was a 'must win' in Buffalo.

That's history. pffffff ! VANISHED ! What a shame.

While this was a game we wanted it wasn't a must win.

The game in two weeks is for the North if we beat TB. Green Bay still holds their own playoff destiny.

[pittstang5]

My biggest priority is making the playoffs, however the Packers have to do it - 1st seed, 6th seed, I don't give a fuck, just get in.

Home field advantage is a bonus, but to me, I didn't care before today and I don't care now - I just wanted the win and I want a spot in the playoffs.

I understand this team, especially this year, is different at home. They are ungodly good at home. But remember, the Packers made it to the SB playing every game on the road in the playoffs. Anyone can get hot in the playoffs. We just need to get there.

Yep. Every year my family hates me when I know the Packers are going to lose. I am a very bad loser and sometimes they have to wrest the remote from my clutches, even after passing out from the mind-searing agony of a Packer loss. "It's only a game!" ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Dallas just challenged the ruling on the field. Phi might get a TD after reviewed.

[ThunderDan]

Weird play. WR tackled at the 1 and ball comes out as he stretches for the TD. Phi hurries to stop Dal from challenging and I thought PHI should have challenged for a TD. Play stands the refs had it right.

[pittstang5]

It's only a game!"

Those words infuriate me to no end. "It's only a game" - Always said by someone that doesn't follow football.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Dallas was up 21-0 and now PHI is knocking on the door to take the lead.

[ThunderDan]

And PHI is up 24-21

[King Friday]

I'm not impressed with either of these lame, piece of crap NFC East teams propped up by east coast bias reporting.

There are only 3 teams with a chance to come out of the NFC. Green Bay, Seattle and Detroit.

[ThunderDan]

Dallas back on top 28-24.

[ThunderDan]

35-24 Dallas.

[ThunderDan]

35-27 Dallas

[King Friday]

Well...this ain't going to be a tie, so the Cardinals are in the playoffs.

Tonight on MNF it's the New Orleans Saints @ The Chicago Bears.

It's been wet today in Chicago so the track should get muddy.

Will the Jay Cutler QB'd Bears finally do something for their HC?

Will Drew Brees and the Saints stop making so many errors and get back to doing decently on the road.

I'll look now to see what the Lads in the Pro Pickem' think? Just as I expected:

Those members with 1 CP >>> Bears. The remainder bet >>> Saints.

This should be a blast to watch.

Ohh Ohh on the second play of the game da Bears fumble and recover. LOL

I feel very bad for Marc Trestman. I'm well aware of his potential as a respected leader.

He was handed an aging team and a starting small 'f' franchise QB that seems to be on his own planet.

it's a mess in Chicago with great players like Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte.

All right, since someone needs to say it: @SportsonEarth is not shutting down. There are some changes going on. But it is not shutting down.

Yes, Sports on Earth will *technically* continue to exist. But they've laid off 95% of the writers and editors who made it what it was. So.
