NFL Week 12 -- Spaghetti Western

The crazy thing about the Bears is they have lost five straight games to fall to 4-7 and right now only have the No. 12 pick in the Draft.

 

The announcers mentioned at the beginning of the game how much green there was in the stands. At one point they said something about the Rams having to use a silent count, though I didn’t catch whether that was actually happening or just them talking about it.

 

They really should be 5-7. They don't beat the Bears without the Hail Mary. They only beat the Giants at home because N.Y. was too stupid to carry a kicker on gameday.

The schedule being what it is, there are no guarantees, not after yesterday. Forget the craziness at the end of the game. They couldn't do anything offensively against a Dallas team that has been getting carved up on the regular. I don't know how hurt Daniels is, or if the league has just quickly figured him out, but the offensive has regressed massively. It's been a month since they've looked good on that side of the ball. Not willing to look any further than next Sunday against the Titans, which they should win, but hey, Tennessee looked plenty frisky in Houston yesterday. I love Brian Robinson, but he's quickly sliding into Zion territory where you just can't ever count on him to be on the field. He's ALWAYS hurt. Ekeler will probably miss next week with that concussion he sustained yesterday, but with no power run game, it's very easy to just key on Daniels. I had no real expectations of any sort of run from this team other than to just get to the postseason and get some experience. But that looks pretty dicey after the last three weeks.

Two of the wild cards are going to the NFC Central, which leaves one realistic playoff spot left for Washington (7-5), Arizona (6-5), Tampa (5-6), the Rams (5-6), and the Niners (5-6) to battle for. The Bucs have by far the easiest schedule remaining and hold the tiebreaker over Washington. I think Tampa gets to 10 wins and the West teams continue to beat up on each other, ensuring there's no 10-win second-place team in that division. That means Washington needs to get to 11 (unless Atlanta really stumbles and falls to 9-8). But first things first, get to eight next Sunday against the Titans.

 

The guy does do some amazing stuff.

 

Well I'm not questioning his status as the Bills' MVP.

 

Holy crap. What a throw by Jackson and catch.

 

Great throw and catch. Terrible job by the cornerback. That should have at least been knocked away, if not intercepted.

 

Well, he is a heel ...

 

Fulton just had a second shot at an interception in the end zone and let it bounce off his hands.
The Ravens' offense is damn difficult to stop, but they will give you opportunities for turnovers. It is very important to take advantage of them.

 

How were the Chargers not ready for the Ravens to go again on fourth-and-one? They looked like they weren't set when the play started.

They just have a gift for making the key mistake. They just had a first down on pass interference taken away by a shaky holding call for offsetting penalties, then dropped a potentially huge play on third down.

 

Sounds like a heck of a Ravens crowd there, too, after that TD.

 

Maybe they carpooled with the Philly fans from last night.
Outside of Arrowhead and Buffalo, are there any stadiums left where the home fans outnumber the visiting fans?
