Week 16 NFL Live Thread

Yes, because only the Cowboys’ coaches could stop handing the ball off to a guy who had 100 yards rushing at halftime, with a 23-point lead.

I mean, really?? How stupid is that?

[BenLurkin]

Cassius Clay certainly had a way with words!

[BenLurkin]

Gaseous Cassius, as he was known at the time.

Somehow, the Steelers are still mathematically alive. That loss to Miami a couple of weeks ago really looms large now, as I really don’t want to think of the Rube Goldbergian mechanism that’d have to fall into place for them to vault over BAL, MIA, and SD.

In any event I have to echo the upthread sentiment of “anyone but Baltimore” for that #6 AFC spot.

[Howie66]

What?? Not Toni Romo?

[dfwgator]

Not so much a reflection on Romo,as it is the Cowboys’ defense(less).

[SevenofNine]

I taking raiders over Chargers

49ers over Dirty birds

Re: Not lazy. Bender was... busy.

And where did this guy come... from?

Well, dude, as I recall, we were playing spin... the pizza--

I took a hit off that new Tesla... E-Cigarette--

Then I was giving Zoidberg... a shocking back rub!

I looked around and I was on... TV!

I seem to be co-starring in "Orange... the New Black" on Netflix--

I started feeling split... down the middle!

I ran to the bathroom to barf, but it was... occupied!

I then felt very, very tiny... and alone!

Then-- Then NOT... ALONE--

NOT ALONE... AT ALL!

After a flash of white, big and I were crashing... a funeral.

My head then seem to balloon up... in size!

Someone handed me a cigarette but it made me fell even more... strange and very hot--

I asked the tattooed guy to get me some ice... from that weird ice bucket--

Then a very comely trashcan... started coming on to me--

Then someone pushed my button... and it all went to... black!

So, to wrap up, I don't care who this kid... is--

I want to know who the hell is this... kid's father?

[Impy]

Rory Culkin - OUCH!!!

If the shoe fits!!

[Impy]

R2!! How could you? You told me there was no one else!

Beepity boop bop whiss... zingity sop sop clank!

Well, you heard it, C3... right from the horse's mouth.

Only two games left in the regular season. Lot of games with playoff repercussions this weekend. So here we go!

Miami beats Buffalo to keep the Fish’ hopes alive.

Vikings continue their surprising play and top the Bungles.

KC throttles the fading Colts.

TB beats the Lambs.

Browns over the woeful Jets.

The Cowboys can’t possibly lose to the ‘Skins. Can they? Cowboys.

Carolina wins the rematch against the Saints.

Titans over the Jags.

Broncos over the Titans.

Lions rebound against Eli and the Jints.

Seattle unbeatable at home, as the Cards discover.

Green Bay over Big Ben.

How could San Diego beat the Broncos in Denver and then lose to Oakland at home? They can’t. Bolts!

Ravens - Pats. This will go down to the last play. I give the Ravens the edge because they are at home.

Reborn Bears keep winning.

Seven-Squareds beat the hapless Falcons.

[Rummyfan]

Jason Garrett should be fired for losing that game, plain and simple.

Yes, there looks to be some good football this weekend. Yes, I was redlisted one year but I got out of that in quick time.

When it snows ain't it thrilling? Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way Walking in the winter wonderland

[alarm rider]

Amen to that.
