Yep, this is the week when all the yokels talk about the "Jagwires" coming to town.  Everyone but Ed seems to be predicting a big win, but Jacksonville has played good defense the past few games and they run a scheme similar to Indy's.

I still have nightmares of Fred Taylor shredding the pre-Marvin Bungles in the old AFC Central.  I'll be happy with any win.

That's more the Ravens and/or Steelers who do that.  Bengals tend to streak one way or the other.  But anything could happen.

Yeah, Bortles threw two TDs for your guys :D

But watch him have his breakout game against the Burfect-less (imBurfect?) Bengals D this week.

I got -3 points from Phillip Rivers in my $$ league.  :lol:

Also, I am not really sure what to make of the Cardinals.  The evidence so far this season would make one think they are one of, if not the very best team in the NFC.  Though it is hard to ignore 30 years for the sake of 8 games.

Stupid Steelheads always pick their Ravens games to honor old Steelheads, this time it's Mean Joe Greene's jersey being retired.  They do that shit on purpose, just to get everybody all fired the fuck up.

It is just crazy.  The Redskins desperately needed that game.  They would have been 4-5 with a game against Tampa Bay coming up.  But sure go ahead and tank the season, why not?  It is not like they haven't done that most years since 1991.

Yeah, they looked good yesterday.  Broncos are a tough team, good defense and a top offense. I hope this is a sign that the Patriot's team is pulling it together with the new players,  because they've been having their problems, though have been getting better as they play more games.

Ravens managed to flush their season down the toilet in two weeks.  This early in the season, pretty sure that's some sort of record.

They still have a winning record and could be back on top in the same amount of time it took them to sink to the bottom.  They'll need to run the tables on their division games, of course.  But it seems very possible that three AFC North teams could make the playoffs.

They only have 1 divisional game left, against the Browns, and they won't be able to finish about .500 in the division, dude.  The ratbird is cooked.
Title: Re: NFL Week 9: Our long national nightmare of baseball is over
Post by: derspiess on November 03, 2014, 11:06:19 AM
Thought they had three left for some reason.  But it looks like they can finish with a 3-3 division record.  Plus their remaining schedule seems a bit on the soft side.

No, NFL Properties wanted to make sure they were not going to be in the playoff discussion later by scheduling their Bengals and Steelhead games in the first half of the season.   :P

Wonder what the purpose was of having the Bengals play the Steelers twice in December?  Might as well start working out some replacement punters now.

Anyway I ended up losing last week's LFFL game after I won it.  In the back of my mind I was thinking a stat correction could overturn my 0.40 margin victory.  Made up for it this week, though.  Gonna stick with Rapistburger until he goes cold.  Everyone else overachieved as well.

And whomever has Jeremy Hill, I hope you started him :D

So my Dad is taking a digital camera course at the local community college, and while he'll have no hope of ever getting those credits transferred to a real university, he's learning all sorts of nifty things.

Asked the instructor why all the big telephoto lenses you see at NFL games were white, which were unmistakably Canon lenses:  well, apparently the NFL and Canon U.S.A. had a long-standing licensing agreement for years that sideline photographers could only use Canon.   :lol: If the league can figure out a way to make a buck, they will.
