NFL Week 15 -- Big Game Hunting

6-leg parlay today ($15 to win $407.00)

BUF (ML) kaching
BUF (+2.5) kaching
BUF-DET (O54.5) kaching
DEN(-4.5) unless something dumb happens in last 6 minutes….kaching
KC-CLE (U41.5) kaching
DAL-CAR (U41.5) you gotta be kidding me. Meaningless 41 yard fg with 5 minutes left gonna do it.

I’d rather lose every game than to lose the whole pile on something like that.

 

That was actually a really good onside kick, though. They got the high bounce you want, it cleared the pile, and they had a guy in position to catch it. Mack Hollins just made an even better play to tip it to himself.

 

And this time they kick away.

 

I don't get the whole rationale behind requiring teams to declare they are gonna attempt an onside kick, except to make the whole proposition so statistically far-fetched as to discourage teams from ever trying it.

 

The NFL has become a slog at this point in the season. Still three weeks left in the season, you have teams that have played their way out of the playoffs, those "in" just hoping to avoid key injuries, and those still hoping to squeeze in probably will be lucky to advance out out the WC round. Going to 18 is only going to make it worse.

 

The Steelers clinched a playoff berth today, but it doesn't feel like a good day with an ugly loss and T.J. Watt getting hurt. They are toast if Watt is done.

 

At least we had a scorigami.

 

Buffalo will never win a Super Bowl with that defense. But Josh Allen is a sight to behold. Should have had one more TD with the two-handed chest pass, if not for a totally bogus holding call.

Wonder who the idiots were who called him the "most overrated" player in the league before this season?

 

I'd have a lot more respect for Doyel's words if he had any consistency as a voice on matters, but he goes whichever way the anger machine is venting at in the moment. I have vertigo from how many times he's been on or off the Anthony Richardson bandwagon.

The Colts problem is simple. Jim Irsay is a giant dipshit. So long as he has an influence on the on-field product, the Colts will be perpetually mediocre.

Indy fans should be wolves at his door, but they never are. Whether it's Chris Ballard, Ryan Grigson, Shane Steichen, Frank Reich, Chuck Pagano, etc., they're all window dressing that fans get pissed at while the man at the top who truly matters is largely shielded.

I kind of lose respect for Indy fans in that they don't have their arrows pointed at the right target.

And also? Please stop saying "For The Shoe", Colts fans. It's fucking corny.

 

Both the Packers and Seahawks uniforms are vomit-inducing. I award them both no points and my god have mercy on their souls.

Worst uniform matchup I’ve seen this season. By a wide margin.

 

What in the name of Color Rush Jesus is this uniform match-up?
