NFL Week 16 - Yes, it's week 16 already

Tommy Kelly gets kicked by Cam Newton and Kelly gets the penalty as watched perfectly by a ref.  Cam later bumps a ref as a fuck you and only gets a penalty and not tossed.  I love the NFL.  Is it baseball season yet?

Meh pats game but I'll take it. It'd be great if Houston or Denver lost next week, of course

Hey, it's not like the Patriots get so many wins by playing worth opponents.  Goodell's favorite team gets a creampuff schedule every year.

you know there's just a formula for scheduling? Six games against other teams in your division, four games against another division in your conference, four against another division in the other conference, and two against teams in your conference that finished in the same position as you in their division.

I do agree though that in retrospect baltimore was a relatively easy opponent

I do know that there's a formula for scheduling.  That said, the Patriots usually get their more difficult games at home, and play in a division where the other three teams are complete jokes.

Besides, Baltimore crushed the Patriots, and will do so again if they meet in the playoffs.

We've played six playoff teams, won three games and lost three games, two of those loses were by one point.

Ravens - Loss: 31 - 30
Broncos - Win: 31-21
Seahawks - Loss: 24 - 23
Colts - Win: 59 - 24
Texans - Win: 42 - 14
49ers - Loss: 41-34

[Admiral Yi]

And you played your heart out in all six of them.

"Pull a Carroll".  lol

Seahawks corner Richard Sherman won his PED appeal.  I've only seen it on Twitter but it was Adam Schefter.

The Kansas City Chiefs have 3 more Pro Bowl players than wins (5-2).

And more than the 13-2 Falcons.

Bengals only got two in-- the obvious choices of AJ Green and Geno Atkins.  I think Andrew Whitworth got screwed but otherwise I'm okay with it.

Offensive line is sometimes a weird position at the Pro Bowl.  The lack of stats mess with the fan vote.  A lot of times, you see well-known players from large-market teams.

Makes sense.  Anyway Whit always seems to get in as an alternate, so he'll probably get in that way this year.
