NFL Week 17 - Almost nobody is trying

[Liep]

What's all this with penalty for throwing a red flag in the Packers - Vikings game?

This year you can't throw a challenge on a play that is automatically reviewed (a touchdown or a turnover), or else it's unsportsmanlike conduct.  The point is to keep the coaches from snarking the refs with passive aggression.

[Admiral Yi]

That's a dumbass rule.

[Ed Anger]

Terrell Pryor almost led the RAIDAHS to a win. His tattoos threw two touchdowns.

[Neil]

That's a dumbass rule.

It really is.  The worst part is that if you throw the flag after they've buzzed down the review, then they won't review the play and whayever they called on the field stands.  That's what fucked the Lions (of course ) out of a win on US Thanksgiving.

[Neil]

Well, AP came up 9 yards short, but they made it to the playoffs.

I have to say, I feel good about the old record standing up.

Well that, and the 15 play 97 yard game tying drive late in the fourth quarter (about 20 minutes after they "lost," although still had the lead, on the bad call) they gave up.  Probably something with the jacked up possessions in OT too.

Yeah well until somebody gets 2,000 in just 14 games OJ Wifekiller is still the champ.

Hey, I saw while waiting in line that the National Enquirer has photos video of the murder now!

Ravens 2nd string offense just ran it down the Bengals first team offense.  Lulz.


Pats win, Ravens get the Colts.  Pats lose, Ravens get the Bengals again.  Don't want to see the Colts next week.

I like how you assumed the W there

Btw, re: Tyrod Taylor, I wouldn't get *too* excited about his performance early on.  I talked to one of the defensive assistants after the game to see what the deal was with him running circles around them-- turns out they did zero prep for Taylor.  No clue why, since it seemed pretty obvious that Flacco was not going to play the whole game.  Anyway after they had a couple series with him they were able to contain him for the most part.

Would you want to see the Colts, the way they've been playing? I don't.

Yeah, no kidding.  What this game showed me is that Taylor isn't the guy and all the people who are on the 'let Flacco walk so Taylor can start' people are either retarded or racist.

I feel bad for AP.  His career is basically over and he didn't get the record.

[CountDeMoney]

I fully expect Dallas to choke tonight, which is a shame.  ZOMG TEH RG3NESS WOULD BE INTOLERABLE

Hate to beak it to you, but I don't get excited over Taylor. Ever.  He's just another Beamer Ball bullshit artist, all wheels, no arm.  They should've kept Beck.

Pierce, on the other hand, will get a major FA contract when his rookie contract is up.
