Why the f**k did i pick Denver? it was only 2 CR but still how did i do that?

KC F**k me again, Jags cost me 1CR.

I went heavy on the Jags thinking their D would do a number on AZ. D'oh!

Jags D was weighed down by all the bathwater they have been drinking.

Packers stiff and the ignoring of the Helmet to Helmet call on TJ Watt very late in the game was just blatant cheating but it is the NFL i suppose and had that been called it was going into OT.

I reckon the Green Bay fans would of been be like "what the hell" with the refs not throwing a flag for helmet to helmet.......they are so used to being the Golden child of the NFL and getting every call that when they lose a game off a bad call they don't know what happened!!

Officials were torn tonight with 2 Golden children officiating wise playing each other!

Maybe if Rodgers was in at QB they would of thrown it!

Why is it cowboy fan whinging about other teams is at its peak when the cowboys suck??

But dare I say, if our season wasn't shot, there'd be a bigger deal being made...

When you have watched the NFL as long as i have ( and you as well mate and many others ) i can say 150% that if that was D Lawrence for us making the same hit it is a flag every day of the week and even a fine to boot!

NFL is ****ed these days under Goodell and the bias is not even hidden any more and the inconsistency is appalling regarding different teams and since Jerry Jones targeted Goodell after suspending Zeke our penalty rate is down the toilet and holding against opposing OL teams is now at 34 Qtrs since one was called in benefit to us and our pass rushers are getting nothing. Reverse the logic though and we are flagged for blowing on someone!

Biggest streak ever in the history of the game and call it Tin foil hats etc etc but it is damn alarming and corrupt, not to mention other BS decisions and blatant ignoring of clear Flags.

By all means it is no excuse for us being in a bad patch as we are very poorly coached but the Jungle drums are beating everywhere regarding this crap and it does not help!

The game is quickly losing me as a passionate supporter with Goodell in charge and i am more very passive and who gives a **** lately.

SNF Week 12 wrap:
The recently crowned 3XKO Champ, PHX has punched his ND play-off ticket as simonoz awaits his fate on MNF as a loss by superfreak to iluvparis (2pts difference) can make it a Wildcard Qualification Play-Off next week for the Jets fan who defeated Dallas fan, BabyGotDak.

Former AE champs, Sodapop and @ShinyOnTop finished off their ND seasons with walk off victories before SNF kicked off along with LicoriceAllsorts and Swannies.

Upset result of the day goes to Bigredmachine who bowled over Broken who will need to endure another week of anxiety.

Galactic snapped a three game losing streak to finish off with a 4-8 record in an arduous season whilst the 2012 3XKO Showdown and 2013 CR runners up, Marcuz, ends a two game losing streak with a victory over the HRSQ of recent weeks, JME.

BornAgainIdiot was amongst three to claim early walk off victories to be seeded #4 as aussiedude gets seed #3 atm. TCol has clinched seed #2 / the DERRICK BROOKS DIVISION TITLE (making it title #4) with a loss by Broken.

 

[Woodson]

As the AE commish, I couldn't be happier for the BIG FINISH we have for the ND Play-Offs as there are a few intriguing scenarios. superfreak trails iluvparis by a couple points, who has saved his best for last (dropping six in a row was ugly form) since taking over Dirty Bird. simonoz has moved to 8-4, awaiting the MNF result. BeLikeMike (7-4) can join SimonOz if he can collect the win over fuey who leads by a solitary point but it's ironic that both ILuvParis and BeLikeMike will perhaps need to take the outsider on MNF.

Billiever has turned it UP in the last stretch to press 11sjw for a win and the Champ Bailey Division title as it's one heck of a comeback from 20 in arrears with two less winners selected!!

bgt2110, Fuey and ChafingtheDream are in the box seats (they control their own destinies) on MNF. The same can be said for Superfreak. Just in case of the upset, the likes of Crowman23 and Showbag will need to prepare themselves as it's surely @Crowman23 one point in adv with Crowman having an 8 and Showbag a 9CR for MNF.

Rashmanadon (7-4) is currently leading bloods33 by a solitary point. Bloods33 owns the moment for MNF but the pressure is on him as DZE looms and the 14CR is a big carrot.

Danielz23 and Chism (both 7-4) will need to extract something for MNF if they are committed for the ND Play-Offs but Danielz23 may choose to take a moment to re-consider his choice as it's an 8CR that could be an invaluable difference to being a podium finish vs missing out all together as Broken and Aussiedude continue to press closer.

The Walter Jones Divisional title fight is really gonna push it all the way.. prawnographer has fought back from a ten point deficit to be up by ONE meaning Jatz may need to consider taking a chance on the road team but will Prawnographer play the double bluff mind games ??

Hide & Zeke and balmainforever are in difficult situations.. more than likely hanging by a corroded thread.

 

[Woodson]

Why the f**k did i pick Denver? it was only 2 CR but still how did i do that?

KC F**k me again, Jags cost me 1CR.

Settle peddle.. you've claimed your match up this week, last week you got your ND Play-Off ticket punched / Rod Woodson Division title banked. why sweat the small stuff?

 

[Broken]

Upset result of the day goes to Bigredmachine who bowled over Broken who will need to endure another week of anxiety.

Good thing I can't make heads or tails of the playoff scenarios. Ignorance is bliss.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I'm up on ChafingtheDream by 1 but he has more points to play on MNF. Similarly fuey leads by 1 over belikemike. So I need to pray for a miracle on MNF to snag my 1st Division title and my first ND playoffs. Some of those close losses and a tie during the year are coming back to haunt me

At least its not a Cleveland @ New England kind of match up...
I only give the Ravens maybe 60-65% chance of winning, no guarantee I don't think... Maybe DeAndre massacres them like Julio did today... Just sayin its no deadset monty...

 

[AmericanCrow]

So does my inclusion in playoff implicated match mean I have a chance with a win to have meaningful game next week??

I fired everyone in my analytics department before the season---so I have no clue.

Pittpuke gets those kinds of breaks against the Browns ALL the time (like they need it)

I will give you the official NFL explanation they always trot out for irate Browns fans---the images from television are flawed because the cameras are at an angle and not straight down the line of scrimmage.

Yes it's total b.s. but the league does love them some Squeelers.
