NFL Week 14: 'Tis the season to get fired

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Of course it works out that way. New England is one of the priority franchises;  Cleveland is not.

I thought Pittsburgh was one of their priority franchises, too.

You would be correct, as "priority franchises" is fucking plural.

Then 'splain me today's result.

I didn't see the game, so neither I nor my investigators can comment.

Or, who the fuck knows, maybe Miami just won.  Priority Franchises can't all go 16-0, you know.

You didn't see the wild-ass lateral party at the end, then.  It resulted in Antonio Brown running for the game-winning touchdown, but having called back because he touched the bounds line at the 13 with his foot.  Since time ran out during the play, Pittsburgh lost automatically.

That was hilarious.

Oh dear.

Oh wow.

And how.

Who Dey.

Meanwhile, Schaub is in hiding from a mob.

I'm not getting that game here, what's going on?

The Patriots were down by 9.  They score a touchdown (a somewhat debatable one, since it looked like the ball came out when he got hit), and then the Patriots onside kick.  It looked like the Patriots touched it before it went ten yards, but if the Browns got it back, the Patriots lose.  So the Patriots recovered.  Then, they threw a pass interference flag to set the Patriots up on the 1.  Patriots just won.

That first touchdown wasn't debatable and the kicker did not touch the ball on the off side kick.

The pass interference flag was pretty bad though. There were several calls on both sides in this game that was ridiculous. The officiating has been terrible this year.

You're wrong Tim.  And, as a Patriot fan, you're also a bad person.

How do I + rep for this post?

I'll wear the Dallas Clark jersey my wife bought me years ago.

Is it in the closet next to your Bengals #14 jersey??

Please. Dalton's jersey belongs on the floor.

C/ATT   YDS   AVG   TD   INT   SACKS   QBR   RTG
A. Dalton   24/35   275   7.9   3   0   0-0   89.2   120.5

Froze my ass off yesterday during the game.  I was just a few short feet away from those awesome new heated benches with special vented footrests.  We had the flaps down around our awning, which formed a little tent of sorts.  Helped keep the wind out, at least.

Anywho, it was a fun game in any case and at in the first half it didn't look like a dome team like Indy knew how to handle actual winter weather.  Once we leave the field after the game, we watch the end of the other games or start of the late afternoon games in the video room.  Everything looked great in the Ravens--Vikings & Patriots-Browns games.  Could have given the Bungles the #2 AFC seed for the time being and virtually sealed the AFC North title.  One or the other would have been nice.  But having both end up not going our way was a bit of a bummer.

Foles threw an interception. They should probably bench him.
