My comment is that if you want coverage of the whole field, you need to go to the stadium.
Its hard to see the field with 20 drunken idiots jumping up and down in front of you. Please don't tell me you're one of those people who tells fans to sit down on 3rd down at a football game?

My opinion is that if you don't like to stand, it's fine to stay home. If you don't like to stand, it's also acceptable to buy the club level seats and sit there with the other doctors and lawyers who go to game for client entertainment.
For the rest of us? Stand up on 3rd down and cheer you bunch mooks.

Its actually far less to do with standing as such and more to the fact that I hate loud places. Stadiums are just too loud for me.

I love a good stadium game. Nothing beats being in a wild atmosphere when you are winning or the game is close and you are on Defense.

Both late games are good. Pats v Giants is delivering as well. EDIT: BAHAHAHA! Pats not having a pass defense is really murdering them this year. Dear lord!

Grats to the Fins, with a solid win. Moore and Reggie Bush(!) had excellent games.
The Jets win! Didn't see that coming, but they just about had to to stay in playoff contention. Cue Jim Mora's "Playoff?!"
Falcons cruise to victory. Looks like moving up in the draft to get Julio Jones was a great great move.
Titans go down after leading most of the game. Ack. Um...shhhh...the Bengals are a GOOD team. At least Chris Johnson got some yards. Maybe he's breaking out of his ganja-fueled funk.

The Ravens-Steelers game tonight was flat out some of the best football I've ever seen. A complete chess match for the first 3 quarters, with the 4th turning into a simply a force of will. Phenomenal.

I'm pretty sure the number is ZERO, because that is how much chance any other team in the NFC west has. Really, it's just academic at this point.

I wish I hadn't been so tired last night, because I kept falling to sleep during the Ravens/Steelers game. What I saw was damn good smashmouth football, but fuck I got tired for some reason. Flacco did what Flacco does... has good days and bad days. Yesterday was a good day. He could have had a LOT better day if his wideouts not named Boldin would stop dropping easy passes. I think there were two or three important drops, at least one for a TD that should have been catches. My takeaway is that these two teams could easily be set for an AFC Championship rematch... or could flame out first round depending on which team shows up. It's a sure bet they'll both make the playoffs though. The Bengals I'm still not convinced about. Yes, beating the Titans in Nashville was a very big positive step, and Dalton continues to impress - especially with not turning the ball over. But I won't be convinced they are a playoff worthy team until they make it through the next stretch. They face Pittsburgh twice, Houston and Baltimore 4 of the next 5 games. If they go 2-2 on that stretch, they are a contender. And God help them if they lose to Cleveland. They will need to win every winnable game like that left. The Titans, meanwhile, have got a schedule full of teams that could destroy them or lose horribly to them (inconsistent teams like Atlanta, New Orleans and Buffalo). Houston has pretty much won that division barring a complete collapse. The whole AFC playoff picture is a mess thanks to the shittastic AFC West. I expected the Chargers to lose to the Packers, but both the Raiders and the Chiefs losing to REALLY BAD TEAMS has made that division a nightmare. It's almost certain there won't be a wild card coming out of that division. The Chiefs losing that badly to the Fins at home for fuck's sake is only matched in  -ness by the Raiders letting Tebow throw 2 TD passes. Palmer threw another 3 INT's. Guess that rust is still there and at least it's becoming clear the Raiders will only lose 1 first round pick instead of 2. Buffalo, the Jets and New England - well, it's likely that two of these teams will make the playoffs, maybe three. But I'll be damned if I could pick one to bet on. New England's defense showed up for a half yesterday, only to absolutely pack it in in the last five minutes. Meanwhile the Bills offense never showed up, the Jets defense manhandled them. The Jets finally found their running game, which enabled Sanchez to not lose them the game. For all three teams to make it into the playoffs, Cincy will have to fall apart (still something I find likely) and neither Tennessee or any of the AFC West teams will have to find some consistency. The Packers defense is living and dying by the turnover. That's going to bite them in the ass come playoff time. I hope they get their shit together before then, or we will see some seriously whacked out playoff scores. And I still am dying to see the Thanksgiving game with the Lions - it ought to be epic. Though now it looks like the 49ers are going to be pressing hard for the #2 seed behind Green Bay. Their toughest games left are against the Giants next week, at Baltimore and home to the Steelers. The rest of their schedule is against their own division, the crappiest set of teams in football. I could easily see them going 13-3 with that schedule because the Giant game is at home. The Giants showed up late against the Pats but they also held that Pats offense to three points through 3 quarters. If I was a Giants fan, I'd be worried about their typical late season collapse, because if Philly keeps winning, they will challenge for the division. The Cowboys though - if Miles Austin is hurt for any length of time, they are going to keep struggling but at least their schedule doesn't have any of the killer teams on it. The Eagles/Bears game tonight has huge playoff implications. I am torn about whether to watch it or not.

File this under Sanchez highlight of the year. Maybe career. This one is going to get replayed awhile on bloopers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2iFLQqpDlI

Why I hate the Philladelphia Eagles:
Bears (4-3) go in to Philly (3-4) apparently a major underdog.
Bears beat Philly in a great game.
Sports radio next morning: 15 straight minutes of analyzing how Philly managed to lose.

Philly lost because the Bears beat the shit out of them on defense. Several times the linebacker core of the Bears made incredible plays on the ball.
Also, Cutler looks good. Shockingly, he's not running for his life now. I think Haemish had a stroke somewhere.

OMG... that was funnier than Flinchez AND the Eagles losing another lead in the 4th quarter. It appears the NFC East teams have decided to just hand the goddamn division to the Giants. The Eagles are NOT a worse team than the Cowboys, they just happen to be playing like one. How do you 1) lose to the Bears and Jay Cutler after leading in the 4th AND 2) not manage to sack Cutler one fucking time? My zombie grandmother could sack Cutler at least once based on this season's performance. Do the NFC East and NFC South teams just WANT the wild cards to come out of the NFC North? We know they aren't coming out of the goddamn West. Of the teams that could be challenging for wild card spots (Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago and Philly), Detroit is the only one I'd consider a solid contender. The rest have been so inconsistent or just plain bad at the worst times.
