Please take Luck out of the game, thanks!

Colts now need to sit every starter until the playoffs!

Billy86

Dallas are so insanely up-and-down it's nuts... still, sticking a fiver on Colts to finish within 11 points (+10.5) at 5/1 for the craic.

Giants-Rams kicking off! Ejection time...

phatkev

i will never understand throwing a punch at someone wearing a helmet?

2 Giants and a Ram ejected

colts finally gt a first down at 28-0

matthew8

They said one of the kickers in that game gave someone a kick in the face too. This stuff seems to happen often in Rams games.

@MikePereira: For those upset w/#NEvsNYJ first down spot, the angle on TV was not down the line. If it was, you probably would have seen a first down.

Just seeing this now so all I have to go by is that picture, but even allowing for the angle I find it hard to believe that is a first.



Joyner (Rams), Parker (Giants) and one other guy for the Giants ejected. A bit gutless if I saw what I thought I saw, which was Beckham in the centre of it all from the get go, especially since he initiated another incident earlier in the game.

Stupid from Luck to force that there, they really needed to get something (even a field goal) up before the half, that's interception number 15 and turnover number 1 for him for the year.

You would probably want to take another look. Beckham was hit twice out of bounds and had a go at the Rams corner and then it all kicked off. The Rams are playing dirty and some players fell for it.

Jeff Fischer and Gregg Williams are the problem here.

still holding out hope for an insane luck comeback but cant see it looks like our seasons over

Billy86

My God, Luck really has to work on those turnovers!

digzy

Just watchin the sky coverage. Jeff referred to "franchising" a player. What does that mean? Is it something to do with how much they're paid?

when a players contract ends if they cant come to a deal with a team the team can franchise tag him (only one player per year per franchise) and he gets paid the average of the top 5 players in his position for the year.

Billy86

HOW MANY F***ING TIMES CAN YOU POSSIBLY SAY "COACH COUGHLIN"?!?!?!?

Just call him Tom, ffs!

Billy86

Luck benched with 18 minutes left in the game, in comes 39 year old Matt Hasselbeck.

HigginsJ

From all the reports seems like Coach Coughlin will be back next year, not terribly thrilled with the idea.

Double C

Romo just passed Aikman as the all-time Cowboys leader in passing yards. It's been a bad year for all the Romo haters out there.

HigginsJ

Get in you beauty

matthew8

Romo now 32 TDs and 8 interceptions. Not a bad year for a man with a broken back.

lets just leave the Giants best WR open and see what happens for the craic

6 100 yard games this season & now 8 straight games with 90 or more yards.

I'm more amazed he got injured with that beast o line

Billy86

Some QBs obviously wear face paint under their eyes to make it harder for defenders to see where they are looking... I think Derek Carr is out and out wearing mascara?

EDIT: Right as I type this he is out injured, Schaub in. His first play was going to be a delay of game but they got the timeout called just in time.

Might as well try that as covering him doesn't help!!

OBJ is single handedly winning me my fantasy league

Cowboys have the best OLine in the league. Really good drafting the last few years. Tyron Smith is just a beast and Zach Martin should be a contender for ROTY.

really impressive year for the Cowboys considering that everybody we're predicting that the Eagles would decimate the NFC East this year. The Cowboys have surprised everybody.

Billy86

I think Beckham has wrapped up offensive rookie of the year today to be honest (because linemen won't get it unfortunately, for Zack Martin of DAL and Corey Linsley of GB) - he missed a full quarter of the year, but he is still on 78 catches for 1,111 yards and 11 TDs (and counting) as well as of course the best catch in NFL history to hang his hat on.

Hardly anyone saw them doing as well as they have, but you really have to laugh at some of the paid professionals who were spending the summer saying they "just might go 0-16".

Yeah I think the same people said that the Bucs would be great this season too.

I honestly thought they would be terrible, their D looked worse on paper than last year & it was very hard to know how Romo would come back. Everyone involves deserves huge credit but everything (O&D) benefits from that O-Line.

With a great ground game to control games they could make waves in the playoffs

hes been one of the better wrs in the league in his rookie year cant remember saying that about anybody before looking now

the giants got obj, the cowboys got zack martin and then the eagles took a guy whos not played a snap in most games :mad:

Was Smith not injured all year no? Ye also didn't fare too badly at WR getting Jordn Matthews. Both he & Jarvis Landry as 2nd round picks have been outstanding.

nope dont think he was injured at any stage just didnt play to be fair our outside backers played very well this year but he didnt even dress for a few games you really dont expect that from a first round pick. matthews looks really good but disapionting draft overall so far at least particularly when yereselves and the cowboys god absoloute studs in the 1st

If Seattle win tonight, Dallas will more than likely host Arizona in the wild card, which would be very winnable. I don't like their chances at either Green Bay or Detroit though after that, but one can hope!

It's got to be the best rookie season for a WR since Randy Moss (before I was watching) to be honest.

I was sssooo relieved when the Saints took their pick in the draft since a lot of rumours had picked up about you guys looking to trade for for Haha, who was the #1 guy I wanted in the whole draft (realistically for where we were picking, of course).

I didn't think they would be anywhere near as good as they have been, but their line looked like it would be decent (again, didn't see it being as good as it has been) and with Romo throwing to Witten & Des, I just didn't get why people had them as anything but a 5-11 to 8-8 team.





Rams block a FG with 2 minutes left, probably won't make a difference but who knows.

phatkev

that was some class blocked field goal in the giants/rams game

i think that ****ed up our draft to be honest i didnt want anyone after that spot after ye took haha i actually would have prefered to have traded back again (said it at the time) but we will wait and see hes only 22 so fingers crossed he can come on a bit next year

edit:scratch that i think i may have wanted dennard

I may be wrong, but I think whoever loses the Lions-Packers match gets the 6th seed (therefore going up against Dallas in the WC round), even if the Cardinals lose out.

Yeah you could be right there, unless Arizona lose out maybe. The Cowboys vs either Green Bay or Detroit will bring back memories of horrible losses last year!

How do you beat Green Bay one week and lose to the Raiders the next week?!?

Magic.

I've put a small bet on Lindley to pass for over 152.5 yards here for the craic, not holding my breath but it's a very, very low number and Arians loves some deep balls. The smart money is obviously all over the Seahawks, but I really, really want the Cardinals to win this because Seattle is the last place in the whole league I want GB to be travelling to in the playoffs, so just couldn't bring myself to do it.
