The NFC North has one awful team and three flawed teams that are under-performing.

That is the most devastating clean block I have seen on a punt return in a long time. One block takes out two defenders.

I don't understand how the possible int in Cleveland wasn't reviewed. Looked to me like right toe down, left foot down, then right heel out of bounds. Of course, fuck knows what's in the rule book.

Gus Bradley, re-punts, after a good punt. Better return, TD Bills. He's gonna get fired for sure at year end.

Tucker just hit a 54-yarder to go with one from 52 and another from 57. Nice work for a half.

When teams are trying to spike the ball and had a receiver run deep, why don't they have that guy who ran deep run out of bounds and sub in a guy closer to the LOS to take his place on the spike play?

Would then have to allow defense to sub. Lose way more time.

49ers have this brand new stadium. Often, sports teams get a lift from a new venue and win more games than at end of life at the old stadium. Not the 49ers.

In fairness, it's not helping today since they are playing in Miami.

But your general point stands. And it applies to the Yankees too.

Oh God Jacksonville. Give up a 75 yard TD run on the first play from scrimmage in the 2nd.

Whoever takes over this Jaguars team for Bradley will probably go 10-6 next year with most of the same personnel.

I love Gus, and he probably should get another head coaching shot after this, but he needs to learn from his mistakes. This team just seems woefully unprepared every week.

Baltimore is a 5-5 team that probably has 6-4 talent this year, yet I'm quite certain we'll struggle with them when they visit Fox. And it pisses me off.

This really does explain why they play on defense. They anticipate the throw, position themselves for the INT, but drop it. Manos de piedra.

So the Rams offense shows up for the first time in eons but the defense is non existent for the first time in eons. Figures.

LA sports talk when the Rams suck is as bad as any sports talk. If this game ends how I think it will it's going to be a fun listen next week.

Dalton could have just run inside the 5 easily. Throws it away with nobody near him costing 5 yards.

The Bears are beyond apallingly wretched.
Even a good team can't win with incompetent QB play from the likes of Matt Barkley -- and the Bears aren't a good team to begin with.

The Browns might go 0-16, but I'd rather play the Bears with Barkley at QB than play the Browns.

Browns are hanging around with NYG, who are in the playoff picture - Chicago getting waxed by Tenn, which will be watching the playoffs on TV - so yeah...

Watching the Chargers/Texans game on Red Zone. Is this color announcer circling the first read on offense on every single play?

Eli makes a bad deep throw and the announcers blame Cruz for not running a good pattern. Pay no attention to the fact that the ball was going nowhere near the route.

Jeff Fisher needed to be fired last offseason. This game should get him canned. But the Rams won do it until the new stadium opens I bet.
