I see that Edelman still gets to push off for receptions. At this point, the defense might as well be wearing trampolines for the dude.

Didn't expect the game to be good tonight, but it was entertaining at least. Someone mentioned it earlier, but 70% of the teams are hot garbage. I'm having a hard time finding a team with a legitimate shot outside of Green Bay, New England, Arizona, Denver, Atlanta and Cincinatti.
Of those 6 teams, I think only Green Bay and New England are legit Super Bowl contenders. Arizona is dependent on Carson Palmer not dying and I'm not sure Peyton and this offense can win in the playoffs, especially if they have to travel to New England. I'm not convinced yet by Atlanta, at least not to go all the way and Cincy still has Dalton as their QB so... one and done.

Really will boil down to who gets hot in the last 6 games of the season.

We'll see how real the Packers and Broncos are in a couple of weeks. Everyone's raving about the Broncos D right now but they've played 5 teams who have 6 wins between them. Colour me suspicious.
Brandon Wheeden is really bad. Dallas drives: Punt, FG, Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, FG, Fumble, Interception, Downs. 3 first downs in the first half. Also well done Dallas going for a field goal at 8:31 of the 3rd quarter down by 17.
I wonder if NFL owners will ever wake up and start hiring coaches who have balls vs idiots trying to keep their jobs. I guarantee you there is a clear correlation between teams who go for it on 4th down and their W-L standings.

Miami, Baltimore, Houston, Chicago, Tampa Bay, and San Francisco have gone for it the most this year. Green Bay, Oakland, Minny, NOLA, Washington, and Philly are tied after that in 7th place with 5 times on the season. I think the correlation is that most coaches won't go for it unless they are losing, and as such you see losing teams with the highest attempts.

Much like the Gorgons of Greek myth, I'm fairly certain the Giants wideouts all share one set of healthy hamstrings between them. In the final drive, you had Cruz, Beckham, and Randle all sitting on a bench watching their team drive down the field. Luckily, the 49ers didn't bother to cover Vereen, the only healthy receiver Eli had to throw to (who wasn't a rookie or a 5th stringer).
They've all got MRSA. As for Edelman, yeah. Nobody wants to call the Pats on shit after Brady got off, so they've got carte blanche to cheat at this point. They're gonna do everything but shoot the opposing players at this point because they know they can.

This is another one of those seasons where if it's not Packers v. Pats, I'm going to be surprised.

Apparently this is the first time in NFL history that there have been six undefeated teams at this point in the season.
Also the Colts get to play four of them over the next five weeks.

Davonte Freeman is still great. I remember when he came out we questioned his size. Nope. He's fine.

Both Freeman and Coleman are future stars if they can stay healthy. They are both fucking fantastic.
Unfortunately, Atlanta beat themselves last night. The only reason the Saints were competitive was the fumbles and a blocked punt. If Atlanta doesn't choke on that punt and scores instead of fumbling the ball inside the 10, that game has a whole different complexion. I'm not sure where this New Orleans defense has been all year, but it hasn't been at their games. Also, Benjamin Watson - how many times can you throw to this guy before Atlanta figures out how to cover him?
I think both Atlanta and Carolina are worse than their records indicate, as is Cincy and Denver. All of them have been living off good defense and offense that does good enough and/or doesn't make killer mistakes. The Falcons made lots of killer mistakes on offense last night.

Atlanta has problems covering tight ends. Vernon Davis in the playoffs comes to mind.

Echo these statements. Those 2 first half fumbles pretty much killed the Falcons. I mean both drives were going well and chewed up time and yards and then *poof. No comeback in the fourth quarter was going to work...this time. Not with them letting Watson do whatever he wanted. As for Cincinnati, I think they are real this year mainly because Dalton has his Gronk. They have the offense to throw enough points up and a defense that can keep opponents under those points. They'll slump, but not enough to lose more than 5.

Gary Barnidge has been an absolute steal for the Browns. Between him and Benjamin our receiving corps is actually half decent. McCown did about as well as could be expected against the Denver D. Then for some retarded reason when we're up 4 points, we decide to go for 2 rather than kicking the extra point.  Even with that we have a chance in OT. We only need 10 yards or so and we kick a winning FG but we can't even get that. Lolbrowns. On a side note how the hell is Denver 6-0?

How the hell you do toss up a floater while driving down the field with under a minute to go? you take the sack or throw it to the first row... oh...lolBrowns. I almost forgot.

God I love watching those 12th man assholes faces when they get their asses handed to them at home by a middle-tier QB.
Your window is closed Seattle. SLAM.

I'd love, love, love to be able to count them out already, but the NFC West isn't a particularly strong division this year and 3 of Seattle's 4 losses have come against teams that are currently undefeated. If Arizona falters and Seattle gets hot towards the end of the season I could see it being the 2011 Giants all over again.

If they do it will be an epic meltdown by the Cardinals, and the most unlikely winning streak by a team that offensively looks average, and defensively is making critical errors.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's likely, but I think it's within the realm of possibility. The Cards put up numbers beating up on shitty teams but lost today to the only team they've faced that currently has a winning record and they still have two currently unbeaten teams on their schedule.

Roll your eyes all you want, the only people who don't think the Patriots are the biggest bunch of cheaters in a shitty league are Pats fans.

If you aren't watching Sunday Night Football, you just missed the single most WTF thing in the NFL this season.
I'm glad I stayed up to watch this.

Holy fuck, even in a game that the Colts end up being competitive in they manage to do something so stupid that that's all anyone remembers. I just watched the local post game show here in Boston and the studio just spent 5 minutes giggling over it. Literally just giggling, they aren't even talking.

That's almost as stupid as the way Michigan lost their game the other day. Conceptually, that is just baffling. Whomever dreamed that play up should be forced to tea-bag a bucket filled with glass shards and lemon juice. They're going to have to retired that one from the Not Top 10. It can go sit on a pedestal next to "The Butt Fumble" and "Two Florida Linemen Blocking Each Other".

It is a gimmick that the high school team my friend's son plays for runs on extra points. They line up similar to this, see if the defense is caught off guard and snaps it IMMEDIATELY or shifts back to a kick formation. Stupid razzle-dazzle trick formations only work if you run them quickly, the colts probably would have been successful had snapped the ball as soon as they were set instead of waiting so long.
