NFL Week 10 Game Thread

Prime-time Bungles! As predictable as the sun rising in the East. What a crazy week in the NFL...very much like week 2.
It's in play now.
Dalton was horrendous, but then makes the pass only to have his receiver cough up the ball.
Bengals will be in primetime next week as well in Arizona. Wouldn't be shocked to see another no show performance from them.
Arizona looked really tough coming from behind last night. Unless they have a letdown, I'm liking AZ.
Texans play the jets at home next week. Thats no gimme for the Jets. I'm not convinced Fitzy is going to be a go 6 days after surgery.
Eifert turned into a pumpkin tonight. If he caught the balls that were right to him, it's a different game.
Whoa, Andy Dalton was majorly offended by Watt's Red Ryder BB gun remark. "I'm really disappointed in him, he's a player kids and everybody look up to, integrity of the game, wah, wah wah." What a dipshit.
Hell, if the Jags beat the Titans, and the Jets and Falcons beat the Texans and Colts respectively, they'll be tied for first as well.
I kind of hate J.J. Watt outside the football field. Just tries too hard, which is a great quality in an NFL player but a lousy quality for a comedian.
To be fair though, Watt said the Texans goal was to make the Red Rifle look like a Red Ryder BB gun. He didn't actually call him a BB gun. Willie McGinest and the guys on NFLN took Watt's side and said "aw, come on, he's only trying to make a joke." So, Watt goes out of his way to make funnies? I didn't know.
That's silly. Will the Patriots be a pretender if they don't finish 16-0?
Fair enough, but declaring any of the top-level teams as "pretenders" right now is particularly short-sighted
I would have zero problem with that remark, but Watt also scolded Mettenberger for taking selfies as if that's below the standard set for a professional athlete's conduct. If he wants to be the fun police, I hope every little joke he makes about opposing players gets scrutinized to death.
...and watt followed it up by saying the bengals are a great team, dalton is a great player, just a tremendous effort by the texans, etc. it was pretty innocuous.
A little? It is a lot over sensitive. It was a dumb joke, it wasn't even insulting,("our goal is to try to stop the QB" is an insult?) and it was also based upon what occurred in the game. This is such a great non story.
Watching Dalton's reaction without hearing Watt's comment first would give the impression that Watt used an anti-homosexual slur or something.
There is a decent chance that the Jets, Bills, Houston, Miami, KC, and Oakland are all 5-5 after this coming week
Without starting a new thread, who do you guys all see as the biggest threats to the Pats in terms of advancing to the Super Bowl? Cincy was pretty bad last night. Denver was awful this weekend. Pittsburgh is showing some revival. None of us are afraid of Indy.
I'd submit that the two teams that worry me the most in the playoffs would be the Jets and Steelers. Roethlisberger can play with anyone, and the Jets are always a pain in the ass. If NE had to travel to Denver I'd be more worried, but frankly, with Peyton falling off a cliff and their QB situation in shambles, I'm not too worried anymore of them. Cincy on the road would be a stiff challenge to be sure, but I'm just not that concerned if they come to Foxboro. Obviously the Pats couldn't put up a stinker and expect to win, but Cincy coming here should be a win for the Patriots.
So I'd say (1) Pittsburgh, (2) the Jets, and (3) Cincy on the road.

The team I worry about the most at this point is the team sitting on the injury report getting any bigger.
We need a fucking break.

A Tennessee mom to Cam Newton: Here’s what my 9-year-old saw

So rather than addressing her young daughter's concern about Cam's dancing and "pelvic thrusts", she redirects her attention to the... cheerleaders. Heckuva job there mom.
Also kind of funny the "pelvic" thrusts issue when she comes from Tennessee.
Pretty famous guy from there... wish I could remember his name... pelvic thrusts...
Serious note, I'm tired of the "you need to help me keep my kids in a perfectly sealed experience bubble of my choice even when I am partaking in an event meant for mass consumption" attitude.
Get over yourself.

But I have to say the NFL is asking for this kind of thing with those "Football is Family" ads they keep running.
At least they fixed that god awful pro shop one where the die-hard family changed allegiances at drop of a hat to one that makes more sense with both grandparents sending team apparel to protect their grandkids from the in-law family influence.
I'm almost certain that the daughter didn't have any dirty thoughts about Cam Newton's actions. That sort of thing comes from the mind of an overly sensitive adult - certainly not a 9 year old.
Edit: Unless the mother has a history of acting horrified in the presence of such behavior, thus conditioning the daughter.
What a shitty lawyer. Doesn't even know the term of art for the area between the testicles and rectum.
If her 9 year old really asked all of those questions, she might have the most thoughtful (this isn't really the most accurate word I am going for but it has been a long day and I can't think straight right now) 9 year old ever.
And I agree with djbayko, any dirty thoughts the 9 year old may have had, were most likely put there by her mother.

The worst line in that article: "Hundreds of children of both sexes statewide have been named Peyton"
My only question about what Cam did was how is that not excessive celebration? Or at least a penalty when he celebrates in the defenders face as the refs step between them? Or does that not count on TDs. I swear that Gruden said that Newton 'doesn't care about personal stats etc etc..just wants to win' or something like that a few weeks back. Made me laugh because if there seems to be little more that Cam cares about than himself, his TDs, his celebrations, etc…I'm sure winning too, but it seems a bit farther down the list than the first three.
The thing that rubs me the wrong way about Cam is that he'll dance and taunt and basically laugh in your face when things are going well. If the game has gone to shit, he'll sit on the bench with that towel over his head sulking like a 6 year old.
