New York Jets @ Dallas Cowboys -

This looks like a huge trap game for the Jets.

It will be interesting to see if the Colts give it up against Texas or come to play after getting totally spanked by Jville last week. I think that coaching staff is dead man walking either way and it will be interesting to see if the players just fold up and look forward to the season ending.

Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants

I don't think the Giants are any great shakes, but damn this looks like a serious trap game too. Giants need the win more than Carolina. This might be Tom C.'s last stand.

Denver Broncos @ Pittsburgh Steelers

This one looks to be came of the week. Pittsburgh seems to finally be ringing on all cylinders. Still got 3 games to go though, so this could change again.

Cincinnati Bengals @ San Francisco 49ers

This is a big game for the Bengals. They go lay a dukker out in Sanfran and the little shot anyone still gives them going to the playoffs becomes bigger laughter. San Fran seems to be playing better and won a couple ugly games. I'm definitely curious to see how McCarron does with this shot.

ian eagle and trent green! were nantz and simms just like uhhhh nah?

i wanna cord cut because fuck time warner in the eye but NFL goddammit
this seems like the best option but not getting Sunday games until 8pm seems beside the point

gronky ^_^

the difference in the pats O +\- gronk is so nuts

plus the fun levels go way up

yeahhhh chandler jones <3

bffs patriots td party :)

was funny how the camera totally missed it and panned to players waiting on a pass that never arrived

ok was amendola the last punt returner who hadn't dropped one? wtf

policy of rubbing returners fingers w butter needs to be reconsidered imo

titans D is really very not quality

so glad hightower is back on defense

what happened to adrian peterson?

little used fullbacks putting up 15 yard runs on this D

this giants / panthers game has turned into a turnover fest

ok now's the time eli magically escapes from 5 pass rushers and completes miracle td

yep

NaVaro Bowman doesn't know that this game doesn't count. I swear he has been on almost every defensive play for the Niners in this game against the Bengals. Good to see he recovered from that injury.

Game is closer than you would think but Niners receivers keep doing volleyball sets for the Bengals defense to get turnovers.

Cam Newton is a freak of nature, the guy might be the best athlete I have ever seen at QB. He is like a bigger stronger version of Randall Cunningham.

As a Bears fan, it is nice to see Peanut Tillman getting a chance to play football on a Superbowl contender at this point in his career. He had a couple nice plays today.

that's . . . a lot of catches for antonio brown

Roflisberger

cam newton is awesome

what an immensely likeable guy

This doesn't sound good.

command f brady, huh weird

In a stunning scene, Taylor Teagarden, an eight-year MLB veteran, appears in one of the undercover videos, openly discussing his use of performance-enhancing drugs during the previous season.

This guy appears to be a two year veteran and I don't think the drugs have done much for him.

Wait never mind. He's still not good though.

you guys the washington football team is about to win the division?

not sure if can handle this

The thing I am kind of impressed is Washington hasn't been a grease fire in the football media other than about the name, I guess winning does fix some stuff. Kirk Cousin's stat line and performance is definitely made Gruden's decision last year to look pretty smart.

I wonder how much Washington can get for Griffin III? You got to think someone is going to take that challenge on. Total guess, but I think they might be able to get a 3rd or 4th rounder for him.

command f brady, huh weird
--lag∞n

lol kraft paid dearly for that redaction I think he needs a new lady friend after sacrificing the most recent one on the altar of beelzebub

i mean srsly has there ever been an athlete who performed at peak in their late 30s who was not juicin

bradys weird conman trainer/best friend is def slipping him some "herbal remedies"

yeah just rub this ointment on yr throwing arm tommy its make from acai berries n shit

maybe he puts the steroids in the shit. That is tainted shit, tom!

is fitzpatrick good at throwing deep cause he keeps trying to do it and its not working

its good how every patriot is injured imo very fun

i agree w running a trick play everytime

brady got to hit that open gronky tho

lol they ran three trick plays in a row then passed on 4th n inches

Jets and pats both looking pretty weak so far

What a waste of a drive!

belichick having one of those games, passed up a great 4th n inches opportunity on the first drive too

I guess he just prefers to play it safe today rather than overextend the offense

maybe theyre throwing the game to to keep pitt out of the playoffs

this entire season will have been worth it if the jets blow their playoff spot by losing to rex in the final game of the season

pats are brutal. kind of wish jets bills was on instead.

one of the washington dbs took a hit to the head and was definitely not moving as they carted him off the field

lol jets

this entire season will have been worth it if the jets blow their playoff spot by losing to rex in the final game of the season

yes def

my god the bills were extremely close to one of the worst losses of all time

lol @ jets

but man i do feel bad for brandon marshall

is it just me or is this whole season just not really all that much fun

i might feel differently if we got more than a couple carolina games on tv but as it is.. meh

haha jets

xp not fun at all, even when i'm home w/time to watch i've been finding other things to do.

tbh I wouldn't be excited to be any AFC team in the playoffs, regardless of who makes it to the superb owl all of the best NFC teams are better

wow squawks

are the cards even playing for anything here? i don't think they are?

haha jets

cards are playing for 1 seed

this sd/den game is nuts. feel like 6pts has to be record lowest score for a team with 5 turnovers??

peyton returns! OMAHA

stop
.
.
.
.
peyton time

the only thing that could redeem this year's AFC playoffs for me is the return of peyton's noodle throws in subzero weather

i guess the plan is now peyton is the starter again, just like that? what if he plays a subpar half of football, are they going to bench him again? is there a plan or are they going to have constant uncertainty going into playoffs

because i mean if peyton is the starter and was healthy enough to play all along why didn't he start the game

wild end to the raiders game, rly hoped they'd pull it out on KC but oh well

the game was a garbagefire, i turned it off

also did you guys see jj watt today, i think that was the exact point when i didn't really want any more football

next rd matchups is such that both teams should compete hard to lose this one imo

jj hasn't been the same since that country band started bullying him in the locker room

VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ffs

kicker forced fumble, the shame

I am so angry right now

holee fuck

somewhere, fatboy drew magary from deadspin is happy, and that can't be allowed tl stand so the vikings gotta lose in the playoffs

*to stand

no worries there. I get why the Packers would try to win because getting Minnesota at home is probably preferable to going to Washington, but if you're Minnesota you definitely would want to play the Packers again rather than having to face Seattle. they should've punted the game. not that it didn't seem like they were trying.

coughlin out

but not retired...

it kinda did look like minn were trying to throw that game away 4Q. when peterson spilled that ball forward on their last possession i was like REALLY?? except for how hard he tried, successfully, to recover.

i know small sample sizes etc but seattle exact same record home/road this season and they stomped the vikes in MN judt a few weeks back, so home field maybe not as much consolation to that tie as they might hope

I kind of don't see how any team other than Seattle or Carolina makes it out of the NFC

cards?

yeah before yesterday I definitely thought Arizona were #1 in the NFC but now I'm not so sure

GB has been real depressing to watch this season, despite their 10-6 record it really feels like they are one of the worst offenses in the league sometimes. I've never been on the "fire McCarthy" bandwagon but watching him continue to establish the run in the 4th quarter while down by 17 was infuriating

i didn't watch the arizona game yesterday... they didn't sit starters?

Peterson's fumble was totally Bridgewater's fault; it's hard to secure a handoff that's delivered to your thigh.

xp I think they sat palmer when the writing on the wall became perfectly clear, other than that not sure

I kind of don't see how any team other than Seattle or Carolina makes it out of the NFC
--you're breaking the NAP (DJP)

mostly agree w this. would be real interested to see carolina play this healthy arizona team (rather than the lindley version they got last wildcard round). still think panthers would win tho, and based on how wilson has looked in the 2nd half of the season idk who can really fuck with a fully operational seahawks

(lol well except the rams who are not a factor here)

awwww

Just as a reminder...Coughlin does actually seem like a pretty good dude. Remember hearing about this story quite a few years ago.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/memory-boston-college-jay-mcgillis-lives-hearts-ny-giants-coach-tom-coughlin-loved-article-1.1105548

I'll miss Coughlin, and I really can't see another team anywhere giving the wheel to a 70 year old head coach. He's probably coached his last NFL game. ;_;

I think Tom Coughlin might go back to coaching college football.
