This isn't happening. 2016 has been a charmed year for Arians nation.
Week 16 Game Thread
- Thread starter staz
- Start date
Despite looking crappy at times, Houston has managed to go 7-1 at home this season. They couldn't beat Matt Moore or Matt McGloin at home this year?
Jay Cutler: injured, replaced by Matt Barkley. Tannehill / Carr / Mariota: Matts Moore, McGloin, Cassel. NFL QB? Backup named Matt? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Vikings DBs admit that they disregarded the game plan regarding how they would play Jordy Nelson, and did their own thing, and were then torched by Nelson.

BB's head would spin like the girl on the Exorcist and then he'd trade them for 7th rounders during a TV timeout.
This happens to a lesser degree in all sports. Player running through the stop sign at 3rd or ignoring a bunt/take sign in baseball, breaking off a play and looking for own shot in basketball. I've never heard of a group of players agreeing to ignore the coaching staffs game plan though. What could the staff do.....bench the entire secondary and play special teams guys back there? Such a weird situation.
Th other three look like they've just seen a girl they want to impress. Roethlisberger looks like he just saw his next target.
It would be something like Tim Tebow beating Big Ben in a playoff game. Never happen
how did Ward suddenly get hurt enough to be out? He was flexing just fine at the end of last week.
Reid can always Reid but Denver looks ready to pack it in.
A third string QB who had a broken thumb? Talk about playing handicapped. In retrospect, the Pats had no chance that game. In addition, there was no Gronk and the weather was terrible. Add it all together,, and if the Bills did not win the game I would have been surprised.

Are you talking about week 4 this year? Wasn't the weather fine that day? I went and don't remember it being anything bad at all.
My memory is probably foggy but I remember it being rainy. I will defintely defer to you since you were at the game. My larger point stands. There were many reasons that the Pats lost the game. . Brissett was injured, no Gronk, no Lewis in the backfield. Finally we had the official introduction of Cyrus Jones returning punts. Easily understandable why the good guys lost.
As I am unfamiliar with the calculus skills necessary to sort out the AFC, who are we rooting for here?
Who the heck are these announcers? Dungy? Shazier literally went in head first and hit helmet to helmet only. At least Mosley earlier kinda got his chest during his personal foul.
Arrived at wife's aunt's house for Christmas dinner, no NFL network. All men now huddled around an iPhone watching the game. And they are serving boxed wine. Wtf?
Tony is so super-religious the other 364 days of the year that he gets a special dispensation from Baby Jesus to go out and make bank on Xmas.
Pittsburgh is not that good. They can be elite at their best but they are mediocre more often than not.
If the Steelers are the team that is supposed to knock off the Pats in the AFC, then the Pats will be going to the Super Bowl. The Steelers look like hot garbage.
Unless his plan is to be playing golf in January he better stop shaving those points
The Pitt games I have seen this season he has made some real poor decisions for ints.
