Official Week 12 Other Games Thread

I am right on the Schadenfreude train with you.

Punch my ticket, I'm jumping on board. I have nothing more than fleeting impressions of Harbaugh, but I just don't like that guy and don't want the Niners to succeed as a result.

Everyone start PM'img Mad for the Game Day thread.

Don't know if this qualifies as Other Games, but is anyone but anyone but Upnorth and I watching the Grey Cup? Is it even on tv in the US? Good game, halftime right now with a nice looking lineup.

Gordon Lightfoot is on, his guitar is overamplified, drowning out his vocals.

Not sure if its on but I would tune in to hear Gordon for a bit.

Carolina looked bad tonight...and Philly looks worse. Looks like Cam is going to take it home, completing passes at will here with 4 minutes on the clock and a 1 score lead.

Think we've got kicking problems? Carolina's place kicker missed an XP point tonight to keep it exciting. Carolina had to kick off to the Eagles with a 6 instead of 7pt lead.

I think SF is making a big mistake. Last time I remember something like this happening was with the QB pbmax just made reference to - Doug Flutie. He stared all season for Buffalo, and had a 10-5 record. Rob Johnson came in week 17 and lit it up. Buffalo's coaching staff and ownership didn't like Flutie to begin with, named Johnson their starting QB for the playoff game, which they lost (Music City Miracle).

re: getting paid
he was before the new rookie wage scale - he got paid alright. I saw another article about Jake Long saying his contract negotiations are going to be difficult, because he was a #1 pick under the old system, and that over-inflated contract will be the starting point for his 2nd deal. What is his market value now, as a good, but not elite LT?

In was thinking about this fella just this morning:

Rob 'RoboSACK ' Johnson. Wasn't he a beauty. **

** With USC, Johnson won the 1995 Cotton Bowl Classic. In the Jaguars' opening game of 1997, Johnson started for an injured Mark Brunell and had a breakout performance that set a record for the best completion percentage by a debuting starting quarterback.

Johnson signed a $25 million contract with the Buffalo Bills the following season and was named starting quarterback by coach Wade Phillips but had a tumultuous, injury-ridden run with the Bills and a reputation for frequently being sacked that inspired the nickname "Robo-sack".

Johnson's injuries and poor performance led Phillips to replace Johnson with the more experienced Doug Flutie as starter. Controversially, Phillips decided to start Johnson instead of Flutie for the 2000 Wild Card playoff game that the Bills lost to eventual AFC champion Tennessee Titans, *** after Flutie helped the Bills to an 11-5 record in the 1999 season.

NY Jets fan reaction after the first half and upon the team exiting to the locker room for the half time prep talk. It's the bottom video this LINK:

Holy Mackeral ! Nice....really nice.

I heard and read some Eagle fan reaction after the MNF loss to the Panthers. That loss (again) wasn't well received by 'the fans'. As Packer fans we should realize that our win total this season matchs the total number of wins for these two (and I use the word loosely) teams.

GO PACK GO !
