New Orleans +7 at Atlanta: The Falcons would be nuts to play Julio Jones in this game. They can kick the Saints ass and lock up the NFC #2 seed and a first round playoff bye without him. I don't think they can beat Seattle and Dallas with Jones limping off the field every other play. Two weeks rest for Jones is worth 6 points going into the likely divisional round playoff game with the Seahawks. Atlanta.
Oakland +1.5 at Denver: How did tough guy Raider HC Jack Del Rio react to starting QB Derek Carr's season-ending injury? In his postgame news conference, Del Rio's eyes were red and wet. No tears fell, but close. Hey, coach, way to keep the team upbeat, and way to instill confidence in the back-up QB, some guy named Matt McGroin or something. Hey, coach, you got a nice practice game here to get McGroin ready to lead your team to the Super Bowl. Gee, don't sit there and cry and act like it's all over. Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl. Jake Delhomme almost beat Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the Patriots in a Super Bowl. Tough guys don't cry. Tough guys like the challenge of winning when everybody thinks they don't got a chance. Quit pissing yourself, pull up your pants and get to work. Even with McGroin, with the players you got left, you should still at least get to the AFC title game in New England. Then you can piss yourself. Oakland.
Green Bay -3.5 at Detroit: Ha ha ha ha! The Lions are a home underdog! Everybody expects them to complete their choke and blow the North Pole division and a playoff spot. But Lavender Bay ain't that fucking good. . .their defense is spotty, and even though Aaron Rodgers has been playing very well the last half of the season, he's still a fucking faggot, a pussy faggot scared to come out of the closet. Nigger Jim Caldwell's job should be on the line in this game. It was no disgrace to lose at the Giants and Cowboys, but don't lose a title game at home in the last week. The Lions defense was clueless against the Cowboys, Scott Linehan dissected them perfectly. . .but Lions nigger DC Teryl Austin knows the Packers inside and out, and there won't be any surprises Sunday night. But even more is on the line than Nigger Jim Caldwell's job status, this game is a Matthew Stafford litmus test. How many more chances is he gonna get to prove he's anything more than an average QB? Hey, Matty, time to win something, for crying out loud! Take off those sissy-looking gloves and win a big game, for once! Otherwise, go join that worthless nigger Calvin Johnson on some faggot TV game show. Detroit.
OH, YEAH. . .I hope the Redskins win their game Sunday, so the Lions-Packers game is a true win-or-else game. If the Redskins lose, the Lions-Packers loser still backs into the playoffs as a Wild Card. For Detroit and Matthew Stafford especially, they need to prove they can win a big game, straight-up. . .without any Wild Card pill to take the edge off their anxiety level. . .

Del Rio crying over Carr looks like it affected the Raiders so far, today.. .they look like they expect to lose.
ReplyDeleteSaints defense starting the off-season a little early. . .
ReplyDeleteSean Payton needs a change of scenery. . .
Kirk CousINTs just took all the heat off the Lions and Packers with a horrible game-ending pick. Redskins would be stupid to pay him big money.
ReplyDeleteKubiak retires. . .worst coach ever to win a Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteNo word yet if Del Rio cried when McGroin got injured.
ReplyDeleteStafford will never be anything but a likable Jay Cutler.
ReplyDeleteMan, Stafford shit that bed.
ReplyDeleteBut that coaching. I watched the game and looked at the stat sheet quarter by quarter. Detroit gave up on the run in the second half. That's a stat.
So, what do they do? They force Stafford to put the ball out there. Now, he needs to make those pressure passes.
Detroit was the stronger team in the first half.
So, what happens when they give up on the run? It's the same old story. Three and out, very little time off the clock.
The Lions had 25:51 minutes of possession in the entire game. That looks a lot better than the reality. They had possession for only about 8:37 in the second half.
Abandoning the run does that to you.
The defense was soft, too. . .every phase of the game, they came up short. . .still don't think GB is a SB threat, no way could they beat Atlanta or Dallas. The Giants might even get them.
