NFL Week 16

I know, that's really the only way he and the Pats can win- by getting phantom pass interference calls. I have never seen any other receivers lobby / flop for the interference call in the end zone. Without those favorable calls they would not know how to win; except by cheating of course.

Not at all what I was saying, as you likely know all too well. Still, I would love to see a breakdown of quarterbacks getting end zone interference calls over the past year/decade.

Really impressed with McCoy and the Eagles. I thought they were toast a few weeks ago. Also, I picked Seattle to slap the Cards around and was shocked to see the outcome (although I root for AZ in the NFC). Congrats to Pittsburgh as well; lots of guys are showing the mental and physical toughness teams' need in late Dec. Should be a fun Sunday next week.
Looking forward to Rex Ryan's Swan-song next week.

Agree with all of this. Nick Foles and McCoy have been stellar.

Pack by 10 regardless of who the QB is. Lacy is going to carry the load this week and that defense got PISSED last week against Dallas.

I was watching the game and thinking about your post every time Lacy touched the ball. He sure was on his way to winning that game for the Packers.

Very cool to see Kiesel with the fumble recovery at the end of the game. His Steeler carer is most likely over after this weekend, so I was happy to see a good guy make a big play on the field.

It was beautiful today. Absolutely perfect. We did tailgate, we got there from LA at 9:45. Did you know that you cannot even throw a football in the parking lot anymore? Anyway, too bad the officiating was so bad, but I'd rather have the Chargers go further than the Broncos or Chiefs.

I was at that game too. I was wearing a blue hat.

Niners managed to not lose. Not a pretty game, but Bowman's catch and return at the end was pretty spectacular.

Yeah, that game was damn closer than I expected!

On another note, it sure would be refreshing to watch a game involving the Patriots were they don't get a touchdown because Tom Brady throws into the end zone to a receiver that falls down and flails about, resulting in what at this point seems to be an obligatory interference call that gives the Patriots a first down at the one yard line.

Either that or it would be refreshing for Brady to not choke.

3 chokes this year and counting. Why doesn't the media lambast him for being choker extraordinaire?
