NFL Week 10

What the fuck, Bills? I was promised Nathan Peterman. You build a time machine, go back to 1990, bring back Jim Kelly and dress him up as Matt Barkley?
I call bullshit.

 

I am at a bar which has NFL Sunday Ticket
The Lions-Bears game is on a regular screen in front of me and a big screen behind me. The Lions suck equally on both screens.

 

They did announce at some point that Barkley was going to start over Peterman. And while Barkley is obviously not great, in the past he's at least shown glimpses of being a credible NFL QB.

 

Yeah, he completed one or two passes in a game once.
Seriously, though, 31-0 and it's not even halftime!?
Todd Bowles should be fired. Today. Out of a cannon and into the sun.

 

I sometimes wonder if there is some sort of "Major League" shit going on with the Bills that we don't know about. Like, the Bills don't seem talented, but they managed to make the playoffs last year... and they decided to trade that QB anyway, and to go with two iffy options, but now they're kind of, sort of winning games anyway. Have we checked to see whether this is some botched scheme to not win enough games, so that they can move to Toronto?

 

Or maybe Nathan Peterman is secretly a Make A Wish kid whose name somehow keeps popping up on the list.

 

So much for the Falcons climbing back into contention. The Browns are beating them, 28-10, in the third quarter.

 

Bears kicker Cody Parkey has hit the post four times, missing two field goals and two extra points
Of course, they’re playing the Lions so it doesn’t matter

 

Nick Chubb with the longest TD running Browns history and longest play in NFL this season, 92 yards. No, he did not beat s Jim Brown record. It was Bobby Mitchell, 90 yards

 

In something I cannot remember happening before, Belichick pulled Brady with over six minutes left against Tennessee. The Pats were down 34-10, but that was most unPatriotlike to run up the white flag with that much time on the clock. Of course, Brady was getting the crap knocked out of him.

 

It's smart, and more teams should probably do it, but yeah, I saw Hoyer in there and wondered if Brady was hurt.

I liked the Titans running the QB pass -- successfully -- against the Pats as well. Every time I see that and we get a reference to both the Philly Special and Brady dropping the pass in the Super Bowl, it makes me smile.

 

Did you see the Pats' throw to Brady? He caught it just past the line of scrimmage, stumbled about five yards off balance then fell down a yard short of the first down marker. He then shot a look to the sideline that conveyed the sentiment, "do not ever, ever call this play again."
