Whew. Kneel for one and get the fuck out of Dodge.

[Old Fart Tree]

Excellent.

Yet another week where they win and I feel 0% better about the team.

The lack of faith in the Sex Cannon today is...disturbing.

Props to Ihedigbo and Fat Vince for obscuring the camera views.

Now that's funny.

I really want to know if Shanny would have gone for 2 there.

[patinorange]

Titans lose...Bengals lose.

The Jets are going to make this fucking thing. Amazing.

Yup, we may meet again.

[scotian1]

O'Brien and Brady with the big hug!

Loved the cut of BOB and Brady hugging it out.

I don't think we will until and unless they win a playoff game.

god damn right

Looked like shit but I'll take it.

This is what sucks about this end of season stretch of games. We can only come to hate this team more by playoff time.

[bigsid05]

I don't think we will until and unless they win a playoff game.

They could be blowing out teams and we would be worried that they won't be prepared for a 'real' opponent. Winning is winning, there are still obvious concerns about this defense.

[Old Fart Tree]

What was the argument on the sideline about? Obviously the pick, but anyone have any more info on it?

[SoxScout]

I can't believe how shitty that game was a week after the shit that was the Colts game.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Jets will beat Houston in first round and go to Foxboro.

[Sportsbstn]

Good win today. Unless they get a miracle, the playoffs will be very ugly.

[Salva135]

Jets will beat Houston in first round and go to Foxboro.

It's amazing that Jets fans probably feel better about their playoff chances than Pats fans do right now.

[phragle]

Stole that one. 10-3!!

[ngruz25]

The Redskins guy jumped on Mayo as he was laying on the ground. Why no flag, awful officiating crew?!

[scotian1]

Well with the state of the defense, no game is ever going to be comfortable or pretty but the D did make some stops to save the day in the end.

[patinorange]

The Pat's defense against Tebow.

Jesus, help us.

[simplyeric]

No, he should feel free to call out Brady for that shitty throw and for being off all day. But he probably shouldn't scream at him like a 4-year old because he's a professional coach. The offense does nothing if Brady plays a game at a non-elite level, I'm not impressed with Bill O'Brien's game-calling abilities.

I wonder if there was a bigger move here, like an audible away from the primary play or something?
I was trying to watch it streaming at work, so I couldn't watch as closely as I'd like. I wonder if Brady optioned out of something, and O'Brien was mad at him for it, or something.

You know that a KSK inspired nickname for Rex Grossman is Sex Cannon, right?

Sad and annoying but yet true.

[RedOctober3829]

The last 2 years the Skins have beaten the eventual Super Bowl champions late in the season. They play hard even when they are out of the playoff race. Credit to them for coming out and playing well after their debacle last week against the Jets. A win is a win in the NFL.

[Hendu for Kutch]

I mentioned this before, but here's one reason NOT to use TO's there. Not saying it's right or wrong, but it's one possible reason.

If you use your 3 TO's and Washington does NOT score a TD, you leave them with their TO's to use against you. If you go 3 and out, you give Washington the ball back again with great field position and plenty of time on the clock.

[Mystic Merlin]

The Skins played very hard/well today; the Pats were.....spotty.

But a win's a win, that's all I care about at the current moment.

There's no explanation to the Jets of the past few years outside of someone selling their soul to the devil.

Spotty? thats some good spin right there.

[pedroia'sboys]

People need to relax. Pitt had a hard time with Cleveland. Ravens have played like shit vs crap teams. A road win vs a live opponent.

[soxfan121]

Another demoralizing victory.

You fucked up Tom. No I din't!

[Mystic Merlin]

Fine, they played really awful? What adjective do you like?

Christ, guy. They moved the ball on a good D most of the game and really should've had 45-50 points (three drops for TDs).

The special teams was very good.

The defense...was not, but they somehow managed to hold on.

[Darnell's Son]

You fucked up Tom. No I din't!

C'mon though, it's professional football. You can't be yelling on the sidelines!

[dynomite]

Jets will beat Houston in first round and go to Foxboro. Baltimore, if things stay this way

The Jets are going to be the 6th seed. If the Patriots, Texans and Ravens all win out and finish 13-3, the Ravens will be the #1, the Patriots will be the #2, and the Texans the #3. In that case, the #6 Jets will play the #1 Ravens if they win their first-round game.

Edit: and I would MUCH rather play the Jets in the 2nd round than the Steelers.

You couldn't read O'Brien's lips because he was facing away from the camera but it certainly looked to me like Brady yelled "He was open!", which to me suggests the question preceding it was "How can you make that dumb throw?". Either way, I don't think there's anything wrong with O'Brien telling Brady to get his head out of his ass; I just think it was questionable to see BOB throw a temper tantrum Brady's way when his entire resume is built off of having Brady to run the offense. He may be a very good OC in his own right with a league average QB at the helm, I acknowledge that the OC takes a lot of shit when offensive playcalls fail when it's more likely a moderate percentage of blame versus failed execution or just plain good defensive execution. But it's not nearly as cathartic to make BB and Brady the scapegoat or to give credit to the opponent.

[Mystic Merlin]

Honestly, I'm glad they won in a league where wins don't typically come easy; I'm not pleased with how they got there. But they got there.

Not interested in a semantics war.

I think you're on the wrong message board.

[BoredViewer]

I mentioned this before, but here's one reason NOT to use TO's there. Not saying it's right or wrong, but it's one possible reason.

If you use your 3 TO's and Washington does NOT score a TD, you leave them with their TO's to use against you. If you go 3 and out, you give Washington the ball back again with great field position and plenty of time on the clock.

That's probably the logic - though keep in mind, Washington did use 1 TO after the 1st down play... so from that point on, a worst-case scenario for the the Pats (as far as Washington getting the ball back after failing to score on 4th down and the Pats doing 3 running plays) - would've had them at about the 50 yd line with no timeouts left and :20 seconds on the clock, needing a Touchdown.

I'm 99.9% sure the odds are favorable for BB to have called a TO after the 1st down play... and I'd make a "$10,000 bet" that BB definitely should've started calling them after the 2nd down play.

[Jack Sox]

Where can one find head to head coaching records? I'd imagine Belichick is under .500 against Shanny.

[CaptainLaddie]

I would pay $50 to get 5 minutes with Shanahan to ask him if he would have gone for 2 had the Skins scored.

[Old Fart Tree]

Pretty sure this win makes him 4-5 vs. Shanny.

[Darnell's Son]

I would pay $50 to get 5 minutes with Shanahan to ask him if he would have gone for 2 had the Skins scored.

I feel like he would. He would have to be comfortable assuming scoring on the 2 pointer would be more likely than winning the coin flip.
