NFL 2014 NFL - Week 12

[Exe Gesis]

I'd have Kenny Stills at the Raiders in a heartbeat.

I'd have Hartline at the Raiders in a heartbeat!

Loving all the hate for Atlanta being so stupid in calling timeouts.
Mike Smith. You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

I predicted this in my pre-season podcasts too Their w-l record and the demise of Smith.
Also predicted a change at the Giants (HC and QB)....that's still iffy.

Who else is 12 from 13 tipping this week? Bloody Raiders spoilt what could have been a perfect week

Everyone's entitled to a BIG shandy of a week.. how did you go last week when the monkey was swinging on the chandelier?

NFL teams with 20+ turnovers, and their records:

On the flip side, here are the 7 teams with 12 or fewer turnovers, and their records:




spot the anomaly, it's not that hard (even for boys fans)...what a difference a good special teams can make...

LOL

Brees is that accurate his receivers don't need to bend over backwards.

Nor the defenders 10 times this season

 

[JeffDunne]

Not his fault if receivers can't get to where the ball is going.

 

[JeffDunne]

Thank god this game wasn't the only MNF game this week.

Boring as batshit already.

Would have been more interesting if they filled the stadium with homeless people (or dog lovers)

 

[balmainforever]

As long as you don't listen to the commentators. They have no idea

 

[JeffDunne]

They should have moved the game to St Louis.

 

[balmainforever]

Vick is going to get killed they way the buffalo def is going

 

[balmainforever]

nice stop on 4th down ny the jets def

 

[JeffDunne]

Yeah the Jets D has stepped it up from that first series.

Pretty stupid call on 4th down though. The Bills OL isn't getting the sort of push that would give you confidence that play was going to work.

I'd have backed Vick up and tried to force one of those turnovers he's made a career doing.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Vick is going to get killed they way the buffalo def is going

Good. Love seeing the mutt get sacked.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

oh boy Orton baby (Y)

[BomberWatson]

Welp, that was a TD saving horse collar.

 

[JeffDunne]

Story of our season.

Close but no cigar.

 

[JeffDunne]

Lucky. Very lucky.

 

[balmainforever]

Brees has never beaten the ravens. Expect that to continue..lol

 

[JeffDunne]

Payton hasn't beaten them either.

I think you can see why.

 

[balmainforever]

Forsett 38 yd run. Thats how you run the ball saints

 

[JeffDunne]

Vaccaro has been a huge disappointment this season.

His tackling close to the LOS is pathetic.

 

[Keys]

Smith was torched for his clock management after the game, but tried to explain his reasoning.

"Again, you can definitely ask that question," he said per the team's official website. "The 53-yarder was definitely outside the range we set prior to the game. We wanted to get a first down, and we felt like we had a play that's why we called the timeout. We came over and used it. They would've used the timeout probably if we hadn't."

Now I'm by no means a hard core NFL devotee and wouldn't normally question the intelligence of a NFL head coach but is Smith actually for real?

Trying to justify the timeout he took late in the game against the Browns he says that they would've used the timeout if he didn't. WTF, wouldn't that have been a good thing - the Falcons get to set up the play they wanted to run plus the opposition loses a critical timeout to use after the Falcons score
