Hard to imagine the fervor that was written with.

LKJ can't handle the PASSION that Detroit fans bring.

LIONS = PLAYOFFS

THINK ON THAT WHILE CALVIN REMOVES HIS NUTS FROM YOUR MOUTH

I just wanted to make sure that everyone realized that I was speaking as truthfully as ever when I said he was a bandwagon jumper. He's not a fan at all. He's a sunshine patriot who has shown up when they finally luckbox their way into a good season (apparently one where they're allowed to commit blatant facemasks out in the open in order to win games).

Anyway, people can judge Dye's posts for themselves. Everything in my rant above was true; I know that America has this cute little fondness for underdogs, one that I understand and sometimes have as well...but rooting for all underdogs, including the unlikable ones, is a result of unmitigated ******ation. And if you can't see just how unlikable this whole Detroit thing is from Dye, trust me when I tell you that I'd have a lot more to bring to you if I could quickly search and quote things from IRL conversations.

Seeing a team like this rise to some level of success, and seeing the resulting idiocy, is far less pleasant than I imagine jamming a rusty nail into my carotid artery to be. It will be very upsetting if they don't lose by at least 35 in their likely first round playoff matchup.

I'll be beating off to the thought of the Lions in the playoffs while you'll be furiously typing away.

looks like we got the agdci replacement

Yeah exactly. How is this any better than having agdci around?

Dye is clearly a low-character human being and a low-class poster who basically fellows agdci's template in his posts.

i interrupt this broadcast with some fa.ntasy news

agdci just got himself perma'd in SE i think

confirmed perma

11/22 passing for 194 yds, 12 carries for 93 yards and 2 TDs. Decent?

I thought he looked pretty damn good today. Unfortunate that denver's D had their worst game since detroit. To be fair they didn't even play that badly to my amateur eye, tom brady just couldnt miss. 1 good decision after another. The whole 2nd quarter was pretty dreadful though.

I reported a Steelers AIDS post awhile back, so of course I am in support of a ban.



Anyway, F the NFL today except for the two primetime games, which both had good results.

In other news, the Columbus Blue Jackets are a horrid team.

yeah he decided to risk a post in SE after being exiled and got got

You still have the Chargers and Packers. Detroit will probably lose both of these games, and some 7-7 team will win out and swipe the 6th seed.

Yeah I wish this was true, but the Pack will likely have #1 locked up and rest starters against Detroit. I cannot remember a team losing to a squad that rested their starters. The Detroit luckbox will continue and they'll accidentally win a 10th game to get in.

Obviously I wish this wasn't true as a Seahawks fan, but while I can imagine going into the final week still in contention I just think the buck will have to stop there. Only way my team gets in is if GB's starters win or if Tampa upsets Atlanta (and those results need additional help from other games to be enough too).

Atlanta/Detroit are both all but in unless they do some epic choking.

I wouldn't necessarily write-off the GB game as an auto win for Detroit. We saw what happened last year when the Bears didn't put the Packers away in the regular season. It wouldn't surprise me if GB plays them hard just to have an inferior team grab the 6th seed.

I mean, I'd like you to be right, but can you name an example of something like that happening? Everyone save for the Patriots chasing 16-0 rests their starters at that point, and I can't think of an example of a team losing to one who is resting their starters.

If we were still in it heading into the final week of the season I don't think that GB would view it as bettering their chances by getting a worse team in anyway...

1. They're getting a bye regardless, so a worse team slipping in isn't playing them right off the bat anyway. Admittedly this point is mitigated by the fact that weird upsets happen like Seattle beating NO last year and that benefited Chicago greatly in the next round.
2. Even if Seattle is a lesser team than Detroit, if they're in a position to make 9-7 then that will mean that they won 7 out of their last 8 to get there. A lot of years there's a team that makes the "too little, too late" charge and doesn't quite get in, but playoff teams aren't exactly eager to play them since they clearly got their **** together in the second half of the season.

I mean I'd love to be wrong, but I just don't see history giving me any hope. I do hope I get to at least take some kind of sweat into the final week of the season though.

1 Week untill NBA kicks off boys!

i'd like to take credit for causing that

Way too many teams that rest their starters to name a team that has actually done this, but GB might not because they might be fighting for the first seed with the Saints if they somehow lose to the Bears, and the Lions are a division rival, and they might rather play the ARIZONA CARDINALS in the playoffs, so they'd obviously play hard. The final game is also a home game, and you never want to give your fans a crappy showing.


Also a lot of recent good teams with a bye resting their players have had poor showings, so we might see some starters out for half the game.

1. Saints can't catch the Packers, that's already mathematically out of the question. Pack won head-to-head and have clinched better conference record. SF can still mathematically catch them, but if that's still the case in week 17 then Seattle is already eliminated (it would mean SF beat Seattle next week) and Arizona could be as well if they can't win in Cincy. Giants are irrelevant because if they win out they'll win the division and won't matter in the wildcard.
2. Cardinals, like the Seahawks, were 2-6. They'd be on a 7 of 8 clip as well if they won out (actually 8 of 9 now that I look at it), including a recent upset of SF. I don't want to believe they're for real, but if they made it to 9-7 they'd look fairly dangerous.

I mean, the Bears did play their starters in a meaningless game last year against Green Bay in the final week (and lost), so that's one team that didn't follow the usual procedure of resting your guys. It probably had to do with the rivalry too, but Packers-Bears is not Packers-Lions. Pretty sure Packer fans view the Lions as their cute little stepbrother, and it seems more likely to be like 2009 when the Saints played their division rivals Carolina and Drew Brees never took a snap en route to a loss. Best recent example that I try to glean hope from is New England pounding Miami last year in the final game after yanking their starters in the 3rd quarter (after already being up 31). Something like that would be nice.

But for the most part I'd expect the Packers to be a dog in this game. We'll see if it even matters...Lions could make it a moot point by beating San Diego this week and writing this whole post would have been a waste of time.

I got the Jets game in my area and couldn't really watch, but it appeared from highlights etc that he played okay. This game was kind of a freeroll for Denver since no one expected them to win.

Did they just get shut down after the 1st? I saw they probably had 170 yards rushing in the first quarter and really thought they has a chance. How did BB adjust?

The Ball fumble looked to be a bad momentum killer too.

the play of the game imo was early in the second quarter with denver up 13-7 when tebow ran to the 8 for a 4th and 1 but a penalty was called. bellichick declines the penalty because he knows that fox is such a terrible coach he would kick the field goal

tebow and their offense was pretty good for the most part, but losing fumbles and muffing multiple kicks while not forcing any turnovers against the patriots will always be a loss

I mean I don't see Denver beating anyone giving up 41 points. The Patriots defense is absolutely horrible and they still only scored 23. It looks like Tebow played about as well as he played in other games except facing a good coach and good offense destroyed any chance at a victory

It's been said in other threads but Fox not using Tebow on 4th and short more is lolbad
