Watching behind on DVR, but I don't think there's anything more annoying in sports broadcasting than the starters announcing themselves on NBC.

Yea, it looks like he's the last one. What a squad. http://www.suitesports.com/2014/12/how-absurd-were-2001-miami-hurricanes.html
2001 Miami Hurricanes Players and Salarie

Total Salary of 39 Players from 2001 Miami Hurricanes: $108.64 million
Price of 11 Veteran Minimum Salary Players: $6.82 million
Price of 1 Average Salary Backup Quarterback: $2.4 million
Price of 2 Average Salary Kicker/Punters: $2 million
Projected Price of 2001 Miami Hurricanes as an NFL Team: $119.86 million
People would always joke about the best CFB beating the worst NFL team, which in this case actually may have been true given that squad. Which in 2001 would have been that 1-15 Panthers team whose best player was probably Todd Sauerbrun.

Interestingly in that draft entering that 1-15 year they drafted: Dan Morgan, Kris Jenkins, and Steve Smith in rounds 1-2-3.

Fucking Steve Hutchinson at 39 is a fucking better guard now than the garbage they have.

And fucking stop throwing fade patterns to inferior receivers over and over again.

Unreal how consistently bad these spots have been. Never seen a game quite like this.

How do you take challenges away when the refs are getting most of the calls wrong?and they have been big plays.

I know DotB will back me up here because I'm pretty sure we both comment on it every week, but spotting the ball is far and away the thing NFL refs get wrong the most, and in the most egregious fashion.

One of the unfortunate things I've learned from pointlessly watching too many games for fantasy and/or survivor pool purposes.

2nd worst defense in football and you have 11 fucking points against them? This is a fucking disgrace.

Feels like Seattle is running a lot of low-percentage plays when it is really not necessary.

Also feels like not too long ago Yammer was saying Graham was better than Gronkowski.

Not quite sure why Carson isn’t getting 20-25 touches / game. He’s been pretty solid every time I see him this year.

Because they have the dumbest fucking offensive coordinator in the league? Just guessing.

I mean, you certainly have to waste touches on Eddie Fucking Lacy.

It’s like New Orleans wasting carries on AP when they have Ingram and Kamara. Makes no sense.
Totally agree, they both need to trade them to teams that have even worse RBs, like Tampa or the Giants.

Seattle Offense - 18
Seattle Defense - 14

Edit: Defense wants to take the lead here.

Why is Carson in the game at this point? And those hits by the Colts after he was obviously wrapped up seemed a tad unnecessary given the time of game/score.

You hate watch like non other. If your travel plans change, let me know.
Will do. It's frustrating as hell watch what should be a top 5 team playing well for 1 half out of 4 games. At least when the Hawks sucked, I knew what I was getting into and could live with it.
