Did America's Team play last night?

A) who's americas team.

Secondly - when is the last time they beat the Giants when it mattered.

That said. Dallas is the front runner.

America's Team certainly did play last night but not very well. Giants present a bad match-up.
I'm sure the ratings last night were off the charts. I wonder why

Anyway, 1 loss does not make a season so the Giants can have that game. Onto hosting the Bucs Sunday night

2 losses. Giants D looked great. Dallas is for real though.

K. Maybe your team won't lose to the Packers or Seahawks.

Jesus Criste why does anyone talk before a team wins a fucking thing?

[Bludegeon]

Sad day today. Always hate Mondays after a loss. LOL..

Well,

Dak sure has looked like the rook in the past two games. Offense is in the shitter... Hope this funk doesn't continue.

Dez proves once again that he isn't a #1 WR who should get #1 WR money. Dude just disappears in too many games. Course, G-man's D-line was relentless in the second half. Amazing what one big play can do to spark a team.

Ughhhh.. Fuck Mondays... lol

i know the media will make a HUGE ordeal about losing this game, on the road, to a NFC rival, because they
have about 6 days of air time to fill. BIG DEAL!
Dak had a bad game last night. Dez fumbled at the very worst time. if Dallas can handle business this coming
weekend and the weekend after that, Dallas won't have to worry about traveling in the playoffs.

Jeff Fisher fired today by LA Rams
About time Fisher was shown the door. His win/loss record is terrible. Why he
was hired for the job is a mystery none of us will ever figure out.

Time for the head coach search. Round up all the white guys with win/loss
records that are just as bad or worse.

Police report: Michael Floyd had difficulty responding, changed story during DUI arrest......

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Michael Floyd's black Cadillac Escalade sat through at least two green-light cycles with him passed out behind the wheel before police officers barricaded his SUV between their cars as they prepared to wake him up, according to the police report detailing the arrest of the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver on charges of DUI on Monday morning.

Police found Floyd asleep at the wheel of his SUV in the left-turn lane at an intersection in the Old Town area of Scottsdale, Arizona, at 2:48 a.m. after the Cardinals returned to Arizona from their trip to Miami, where they lost to the Dolphins 26-23.

The SUV was on, and Floyd's foot was on the brake, the report said.

When the responding officers were able to wake Floyd, he appeared surprised, the officers wrote in their report. He then pointed forward, signaling to them that he was going to drive off after repeated orders from police to turn his car off. At one point, Floyd told the officers that he was going to drive off, they wrote.


Floyd was arrested and charged with obstructing a roadway, DUI impaired to the slightest degree, DUI BAC over .08 and failure to obey a police officer. He was booked and then released from the Scottsdale jail at 4:55 a.m.

Cowboys lost a meaningful game in December? How odd.

Cowboys lost a meaningful game in December? How odd.

My next post was going to be.....Cowboys lose game down the stretch? Amazing! It wasn't as much the Giants, Dallas finally faced an average team that's been playing well. Has Dank fumbled in every game this year?

What was crazy it the stats are as identical as they get.

Total Yards: Cowboys 260yds Giants 260yds
1st downs: Cowboys 13 Giants 12
Passing yards: Cowboys 152yds Giants 167yds
Rushing Yards: Cowboys 108yds Giants 93

Yards per Play: Cowboys 4.0yds Giants 4.1yds
Total Drives: Cowboys 15 Giants 15
3rd down efficiency: Cowboys 1-15 Giants 2-14
Passing Comp-Att: Cowboys 17-37 Giants 17-28 - Yards per Pass: Dank 3.8 Eli 5.4

INT: Dank 2 Eli 1
Sacked-Yards Lost: Cowboys 3-13 Giants 3-26
Turnovers: Cowboys 3 Giants 3

Time of Possession: Cowboys 29:08 Giants 30:52
Even down to the punting: Cowboys 9 for 384yds Giants 9 for 389yds
QBR: Dank 14.8 Eli 14.2

The key was Big plays, Dez's FUMBLEROOSKI at the right time and Odell's bomb. I loved the last 4 plays, pinned them down on the 1 and watching Spaz run around throwing ducks.

Headline 1: Ravens, Browns, Cardinals among teams slated for '17 London games!
Headline 2: Why more London games? NFL eyeing 400 million worldwide fans

The Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals will make their debut appearances in London next season as part of the NFL's four-game International Series slate for 2017.
The Ravens will play the Jacksonville Jaguars in either Week 3 or 4 at Wembley, and the New Orleans Saints will play the Miami Dolphins in one of those weeks at Wembley. The Browns will play the Minnesota Vikings and the Cardinals will play the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham in Weeks 7 or 8.

-----------------------------

4 fucking London games?........Sunday morning, Sunday night, Monday night sometimes two games, Thursday Night, late season Saturday games use to only be playoffs.......Mexico, London...........Fucking money grubbing pigs. Over saturated bullshit.

I still hate Thursday night games.

Richard Sherman: Seahawks 'last ones to get the middle finger' from NFL

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman blasted the NFL on Tuesday for continuing to schedule Thursday night games.

"Poopfest. It's terrible," Sherman said. "We got home like 1 o'clock in the morning, something like that on Monday and then you've got to play again. Congratulations, NFL, you did it again. But they've been doing it all season, so I guess we're the last ones to get the middle finger."

The Seahawks visited the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. They host the Los Angeles Rams at home on Thursday.

-------------------------------------------------------

Peterbilt, we was talking about how the Raiders vs Chiefs game was ugly, dropped passes, slack coverage, bad calls and whatever...........That's Thursday night football for ya!
When we both said WTF was with Cooper missing the wide open deep ball....He looked like a drained player, the fucking team did. This is where I'd normally go into a rant about something stupid how I played a 7 game tourney in 3 days and how they have a roster of 53 guys with like 15 minutes of real actions in an Hour long 125ish plays per game.....But it's tough for teams to play on short weeks to prepare and all the travel.

People have been bitching about the games and saying it's the match ups...........It's the fucking over saturation that's making it sluggish. Not just my opinion the players hate it.....Sunday then one Monday Night should be Football.

They wonder why viewers are down, the study showed many reasons starting with Kapperfish, replay, deflate-a-gate, down to over saturation was on the list as reason why people are not tuning in. Not counting all the 24 hour a day making a news story out of everything shit....NFL, viewers down? Lets play 4 games in London!

Personally I miss the Monday Night Halftime Highlights......Long before Berman said "The Fastest Three Minutes in Television."

--------------------------------

Actually I think the viewers are down because all of the Cowboys airtime every time Dank or someone from that team takes a shit it's talked about. There's 31 teams.....I watched Inside The NFL for the first time in years, they burn past a Bears, Jets, Browns or most regular games highlights in 5 seconds then spend 20 minutes talking about Tom Brady or Dallas.

The Media blows.

there is that bland "Utah" humor again

let's just say you are in the closet

[eddie lee roth]

But haven't you heard the big news about the game of dodgeball they'll be playing during their Pro Bowl week?

I don't mind the Saturday late season games because college football is over.

Thursday night is just like Sherman said it's a shitfest they even want to make your eyes throw up by having those god awful uniforms.

I'd be pissed off if I was a season ticket holder and got cheated out of a game so they could go play a game overseas.

I do have to admit to liking those games but it's strictly a selfish reason why, 8:30 on a Sunday morning and I already have a game to look at makes my early morning coffee taste that much better.

[UtahRatt]

You're definitely funnier then I am, in an IQ of a Pet Rock way......

Seattle Clinches a Birth! Seattle 24 Rams 3

Unless the Packers can crawl back in only Seattle will be returning to the Playoffs in the NFC from last season.
I think they can do it but it might still take a WIN out vs Bears, Vikings and Lions. The last game vs Detroit could be the decider.

Dick Sherman runs off at the mouth....Again! This time playing coach on the sideline, earlier in the week it was playing commish bitching about Thursday night games. He's in the top 5 bitches in the league.

----------

Sherman 'upset' Carroll called pass at 1-yard line! Richard Sherman on goal-line pass: 'We've already seen how that goes'

In the third quarter of the Seattle Seahawks' 24-3 win Thursday night, the team faced a first-and-goal from the Los Angeles Rams' 1-yard line and opted to throw the ball to Jimmy Graham in the end zone.
That decision did not sit well with cornerback Richard Sherman, who engaged in a shouting match with members of the coaching staff on the sideline.

"I'm upset about us throwing from the 1," Sherman said afterward. "I'd rather do what most teams would do, making a conscientious decision to run the ball."

Sherman said he was initially talking to Pete Carroll on the sideline, but then offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell got involved. "Yeah, I was letting [Carroll] know. We've already seen how that goes,"

------------------------

Hey Sherman, you're dominating the game and you might want to try a pass at the ONE just to let other teams know down the road you're not afraid to do it. Keep them guessing! Not to mention, you're not a fucking coach, do your job and stop disrupting the team.

leagues bitches....Just off the top of my head. I'd say it's a race starts with....
Dick Sherman
Josh Norman
PacMANG Adam Jones
Dez BryfumbleAnt I'm the best injured WR in the game PAY ME!

Hum...Who else to add....

[UtahRatt]

Ezekiel Elliott....Not saying he did it but the NFL should have taken action or closed this shit months ago.

Oct/Nov...The alleged Ezekiel Elliott domestic violence incident: What we know, what we don't
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-a ... t-we-dont/

Chick: Her complaint included allegations of Domestic Violence by her boyfriend, Ezekiel Elliott, on 5 separate occasions. The time period of the allegations encompassed Sunday July 17, 2016 through Friday July 22, 2016.

Cops: After reviewing the totality of the evidence, the City Attorney's Office is declining to approve criminal charges in this matter for any of the 5 alleged incidents. This is primarily due to conflicting and inconsistent information across all incidents resulting in concern regarding the sufficiency of the evidence to support the filing of criminal charges.
"not enough evidence, no witnesses admitting seeing shit and coming forth"

The People: We don't know whether the Columbus City Attorney's office declining to press charges means that it felt the claim was without merit or whether it merely felt there was not enough evidence for an indictment or a conviction.

The People: We don't know anything about the NFL's investigation other than the fact that it is ongoing and that Elliott may or may not have been interviewed by the league as part of it.

NFL: Elliott could still face a suspension if he is found to have violated the policy

The NFL: as a matter of policy, does not comment on domestic violence investigations except to say that they exist.
This means we do not know:
◦ Who is running the investigation
◦ What actions have been taken in the investigation
◦ What actions still need to be taken in the investigation
◦ How long the investigation is expected to continue

--------------------------------

If you remember.......
The Josh Brown case, the NFL knew about it during the fucking Pro-bowl and the league even had to help move her and her children to another hotel....Then they let it fucking go. Finally after more shit the NFL gave him one game and made this shit up before it blew up....

The NFL: NFL investigators made repeated attempts -- both orally and in writing -- to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information in this case from the King County sheriff's office.

Cops: The King County Sheriff, John Urquhart, then called out the NFL for the sloppiness of its investigation, calling its investigator a "goofus" and a "yokel" and stating that the NFL never once submitted a formal records request.

In the end after it all came out "publicly", Brown was finally put on the Exempt List after they knew about it and made up shit.

-----------------------

the NFL policy states is the minimum suspension for a first violation BUT!
Only two offenders of the domestic violence policy have actually been suspended for six games. (Jermaine Cunningham and Rodney Austin, both of whom were free agents at the time of their 6 game suspensions and never played again.
Greg Hardy...Josh Brown...And on and on and on..........How many others reduced or swept under?
RICE would still be playing if the Video the NFL and Ravens had didn't Leak out.


Who are you going to believe, not anything that comes from Goodell and the NFL's office. I would bet the farm the NFL isn't doing shit about Ezekiel Elliott's investigation, if he did it or not. Either way it wont come out till after the season if at all it will be a tiny footnote.

[UtahRatt]

The Pats claim Michael Floyd after DUI arrest! Release by Cardinals......

The Patriots claimed former Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd off waivers Thursday, just three days after he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and failure to obey a police officer. Floyd was taken into custody after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his running vehicle at an intersection in suburban Scottsdale early Monday.

This is the NFL for ya. You can beat women, take roids, gets DUI's but don't let them find 2psi out of a football..Wait! You can do that now just not in New England.....But Floyd is typical.

Floyd could face discipline from the league for the DUI arrest, but a punishment likely would not be imposed until the 2017 season.

Classic Belichick. He shouldn't even be playing but this is a good pick up, the Pat's are thin at WR. He's cheap and gone at the end of the season.

-----------------------------

Roger Goodell reiterates he does not want Raiders or Chargers to move yet Goodell made it clear that no current proposal in Oakland or San Diego satisfies the NFL.......

Pretty obvious, I think the Chargers and Raiders will be in LA and LV. I fucking hate the idea of both. Yer killing me!

Los Angeles Chargers!
Las Vegas Raiders! FUCK YOU!

-----------------Now the good shit in this Goodell video interview and story, the cliff notes-----------------------------

Goodell talks about the league, teams relocation and then he got TAGGED by a chick over the fairness of Ezekiel Elliott's domestic violence case being dragged out.....This shit happened in JULY!

"We're not putting a time table on it, wanna get it right" ...Sure, right after the season to give Dallas a pass! Because the NFL policy calls for a six-game suspension for the first instance of abuse. And GOODELL needs to keep The Cowboys going and the Violence at HOME and not on the Field! If it was the Pat's it would have ended in August.

Goodell also talks about Aldon Smith's reinstatement, no decision made then another BAM!

It was determined The STEELERS used DEFLATED BALLS VS the GIANTS....The Giants tested the balls after the game and they were under regulation............Goodell's response, we found that the Protocals were followed so it's ok......

The NFL tests the balls then gives them to the officials, from that point on the Officials maintain full control to the end of the game.....The officials said they was ok, maybe they need a replay on deflated ball testing?

From Good to Not Great: The Cowboys, Raiders and why mediocrity reigns in the NFL!

Sorry, Raiders and Cowboys fans -- your teams just aren't that good. Really, no NFL team is in 2016. Is mediocre the league's new normal?

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1828 ... reigns-nfl

Pretty much a story on what I've been yacking about all season how the NFL is at a crossroads without Juggernauts and not much separation between the bottom and the top. How the Cowboys and Raiders are closer to average then great. Saying that the next few seasons will show which teams will rise into being great or back to being bad.

Lot of shitty teams with a shot, lot of shit games across the board, sloppy plays, it's a junk year. How the Pat's who lead the league in point DIFF are on track to be the third lowest in a 16 game season ever.

Simply put, average or good could possibly win it all this year. As quoted........

"So welcome to the season, and possibly the era, of the B-plus NFL team."

----
A great comment from a reality Cowboy fan............

My World -
I'm a cowboys fan and no they're not the best team in the league... Been a cowboys fan for 38 years and honestly EVERY year the rose colored glasses wearers expect them to be in the SB... it's a joke really. They are more lucky then good trust me. They beat up on teams with records that were at or a little above .500... so they've really played nobody until they came across teams that could play D.... it was bound to happen. You a joke for an organization that thinks having a puppet HC and an owner with a huge ego can just win... but year after year.. failure. This year will be no different and they'll make a ton of excuses and reasons why he can't hire a REAL HC and let him hire his own staff and leave them alone. He's still trying to convince the world that he won all those SB's... it's a joke really but a sad one.


-------------------------------------------

Top Headlines: Vikings' Peterson 'ready to roll' Sunday vs. Colts

7-9 with 3 games to go.......Peterson might be late but if they get back on track and happen to make it in...Well they still have Bradford. With their D and Peterson, they could be a strong team or a spoiler at least for the Packers and Colts.

Doesn't that just sum up the Vikings history tho, with the child abuser and Teddy they probably would have been the team to beat in this watered down season. If Peterson didn't go down they'd been a force. But that's the Vikings.
---------
Anyone remember the! 1998 Minnesota Vikings season! Won the division, home field throughout the playoffs! Beat the Cardinals in the divisional round.....Then the FALCONS!

All that stood between the Vikings and a Super Bowl appearance With two minutes left, Gary Anderson, who had missed no kicks all season, missed a 38-yarder that would have given the Vikings an insurmountable 10-point lead. The Falcons scored a game-tying touchdown and won in overtime.

Defeated in overtime by the 14–2 Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game in one of the most disappointing losses in franchise The Vikings thus became the first team to win at least 15 games in the regular season and not win the Super Bowl.
-------------------
But to me the game I remember best was Super Bowl XI! January 9, 1977 just a kid sitting on a bar stool in the VFW rooting for the Oakland soon to be Vegas Raiders.
Raiders 32 Vikings 14



Footnote on the game write up....
The 1998 Vikings team was chosen to be one of five teams profiled in the second series of NFL Network's America's Game......It must be a typo, it doesn't say " The game was chosen in a series of the NFL Network's Cowboy's game"

I think I'll start hating on KC..........
The Titans are on a roll but I don't think they're that good...Yet. They're a couple players short. I pick Mariota to be a future MVP and I hope they stomp a mud hole in KC but I don't think it's gonna happen. Still going with KC to win the West, said it a month ago. They're still strong, I'd be more worried about their sleepy offense.
Both teams came out of that game beat up but Oakland is dead. It's going to get ugly.
The Raiders are in trouble, they've had the Bolt's number for years but I think they lose this one. As mentioned, I pegged Oakland to lose to KC and end up a fight for the playoffs in the final games. Still standing by it.

I knew they were going to lose this game. Damn.

[eddie lee roth]

I knew they were going to lose this game. Damn.

I couldn't believe TN coach went for 2 with 3:12 left in the game instead of just kicking the extra point and then when they came back from commercial break the Goddamn announcers were talking about what a good move it was.

I was screaming at my TV well what's the fucking score then if it was such a good move. TN got lucky poor Andy called that timeout on his first kick which was no good of course giving him a second chance.

That was a fun fucking game to watch caught the tail end of the Bears/Packers game and it was a nail biter too. Good Sunday so far. Oh yeah Gazpacho I hope you're reading this too cause you know why.
