Any Given Sunday Effect?

What were they thinking putting him on the field as a safety anyway? He is tall and can jump, but the video proves he is not a d-back.Watching Gronk trying to cut the angle off on that play was....amusing.
I could probably outrun him. I couldn't tackle him if I caught him, but in a straight line...and he looked uncoordinated as all hell on that play.

They go to Denver next week, then have the Bungles and end with the Ravens. Winning all three is unlikely, and even if they did, a wild card could easily not happen. But having a small likelihood is un-Browns-like.Let's not get carried away. That was sCam and the Can'ts they beat today.
I'll give 'em the Bungles, but the other two teams are still playing for the post season...don't see them sleeping on the Browns. But yeah, it's interesting to see them "relevant" this late in the season. Give them an actual NFL coaching staff, and they could be an actual contender.
What happened was we beat the evil Patriots and stay in the wild-card race. That’s what happened. Go Fins!!!!!!Pats-Dolphins.
W.T.F.
Denver came back, but the offensive line was horrible in the first half, and only marginally better in the second half. Final score 20-14, 49ers win.
Denied!
Ravens did a good job of only holding KC to 27 points, but it wasn't enough! Chiefs' defense looked pretty good, especially when it really mattered! Dee Ford had a really good game!

Relevant Browns. Say what? Nah. Couldn't be.
The Bears are doing what the Bears do. This time to the Rams. So far anyway. It's going to be a low scoring grinder of a black and blue division game. That's how December games at Soldier Field should be, except there should be mud. Lots of mud.
Good game, but don't get that excited about the Chiefs defense, it wasn't like they were playing the Rams or Saints. The Chargers game will be a real test.
Heck yes! I didn’t get to watch until the end of the third, but I was tracking and have watched the fourth. Fantastic job by the Bears D clamping down on this great Rams offense.Enjoying some "throwback" football tonight!
I moved to New Orleans a few years ago and at the time I could not care less about football. As the years have gone by the Saints have been slowly growing on me. I have actually been watching football games just to see how the Saints do. I know its along way out but if the Saints do go all the way this year I can only imagine what the party here will be like.
The Broncos are back in the slough of despond. Their first half was awful, including total inability to cover the ONE player that SanFran could beat them with. Kittle, the tight end, had over 200 yards in the first half. At times there was no one within 5 yards of him. That's both coaching and bad play.
There were signs of life in the second half, but the 49ers put a lid on the Broncos' running game, and the Bronco offensive line continued to do their impersonation of swinging saloon doors. As a result, Keenum was running for his life most of the time. One sports foof in Denver criticized all the 1-5 yard pass attempts (and throws completed behind the line of scrimmage) but it seems to me when the QB has all of 1.5 to 2 seconds to throw the ball, you're going to see a lot of short passes.
At this point, I think I favor the Browns next weekend.
At least the Packers played like they wanted it, and won their game.

There's a very slight possibility that the Browns could be playing for a playoff spot when they play Baltimore. Besides, if they can knock out Baltimore, it's poetic justice.
I hope they do. Us Sooner fans knew what Baker could do but many skeptics said he was too small, didn’t have an NFL quality arm, etc. We knew how much of what Baker brings to the field can’t be measured.
