Bit of a stretch calling a team who's main weapon this season has been Crockett Gilmore interesting Dave Wink

by crazy_dave23 Thu Nov 26, 2015 4:30 pm

They have only sucked this year...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Nov 26, 2015 4:34 pm

They're a very up and down team, in particular offence. The defence hasn't really replaced it stars well either.

Flacco now coming off a major injury will have as it stands the 3rd highest cap hit in the league next season.

It ain't getting much prettier in Baltimore anytime soon

by mikeygnfl Thu Nov 26, 2015 5:33 pm

The Lions have definitely found some form in recent weeks. Will interesting to see if they can make a late season play for the playoffs.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Nov 26, 2015 6:01 pm

Hey look the 3-7 team isn't very good - who'd have thought it!

by Number-25 Thu Nov 26, 2015 7:01 pm

Hang on a minute... the talking head experts that pop up on TV and websites assured me that Romo's return had turned the Cowboys into Super Bowl contenders. They beat Miami and everything!

I feel cheated....

by Number-25 Thu Nov 26, 2015 7:02 pm

I wonder if Green Bay and Chicago will save America from its biggest damp squib slate of NFL thanksgiving games in recent memory??

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Nov 26, 2015 7:27 pm

Jay Cutler on the road in Lambeau on a short week in not only a prime time game, but the return of Brett Favre game?

Yah I don't hold out high hopes for this one

by Number-25 Thu Nov 26, 2015 7:41 pm

I fear you're right Olly... I'm off to bed!

Romo done his collar bone again by the look of it... I guess the 3-8 Cowboys are back to not being Super Bowl contenders again?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Nov 26, 2015 7:46 pm

#1 pick contenders

Giants-Skins showdown Sunday - winner is 1st place in the east! Get on the cousins/gruden train 25!

BEARS WIN!! CUTLER BEATS THE PACKERS FINALLY!

by GSC Fri Nov 27, 2015 1:41 am

If the Redskins win this weekend they are literally going to win the division. Still have Dallas twice and us once on the schedule.

Peyton Manning has fallen off a cliff and Jay Cutler is having a career year. Somebody's going to throw a lot of money at Adam Gase this summer.

The Redskins are in no danger of winning tonight. Yeah, we're at home and were a different proposition there rather than on the road but still, the Giants have owned us of late and while they have their flaws, they're better than us.

by Number-25 Sun Nov 29, 2015 1:24 pm

Giants are sooooo going to win tonight.

Redskins offense looks horrible.

by GSC Sun Nov 29, 2015 1:44 pm

Eli has 2 picks that came off the hands of WRs.

Cousins has had a pick 6 dropped and another dropped in the endzone.

Surely you're not suggesting that is a scrappy game being played by two very flawed teams GSC???

17-0 Redskins.... please don't throw this away!

Cousins QB sneak TD is well worth a watch... it's the most pathetic attempt to get across the goal line that you'll see! Got the job done though.... Just.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 29, 2015 2:54 pm

The Matt Ryan regression is real

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 29, 2015 3:06 pm

Some people think Eli Manning should be in the hall of fame.

Imagine having that opinion

by Number-25 Sun Nov 29, 2015 3:53 pm

Redskins doing their best to throw this away. Awful defending for the Giants TD... I mean, is there any other team in the league would manage to give up a TD on 4th and 16???

Offense has been bad today. Play calling has been so conservative this half. We're hoping to hang on and win rather going out and taking the game away from the Giants.

by Number-25 Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:01 pm

Outrageous TD catch by Beckham.

The guy is a tool but man can he catch a football!

Redskins implosion continues. Only themselves to blame for terrible offensive play calling in 2nd half and dreadful defensive breakdowns at the crucial moments.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:01 pm

I can confirm that Odell Beckham is good at catching footballs

by Number-25 Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:09 pm

Come on Redskins... 3 points wins this! Get it done!!

by Number-25 Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:22 pm

Man that was one ugly win.

Not sure what we can take from that other than the win.

Good defensive performance for the most part but those 4th down breakdowns in the 4th quarter that basically let the Giants back into the game are a worry.

Gruden called a 2nd half with the aiming of not doing anything to lose the game. So conservative. Understandable I guess given the stakes and his HC career to date but still, I'd have rather seen us go and win it.

Just hope we don't go and lose to Dallas now!

by GSC Sun Nov 29, 2015 4:39 pm

Maybe Miami and Tampa Bay just played the Eagles?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 29, 2015 7:47 pm

Mike Tomlin is up there on the overrated coaches list for me - happy to be all billy big balls when you don't need to be, but when it actually came down to it he poofed out

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Nov 29, 2015 9:52 pm

The old injury gods really not being kind to New England this year - Hightower now out with a knee injury.

by GSC Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:48 am

I see now why Olly has been so concerned with Denver all year

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:11 am

Please let Gronk be ok.

Osweiler makes Denver scary simply because he runs the offence properly. There's no way we beat them in January with our injuries as they stand.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:15 pm

Sounds like we've dodged a bullet with Gronk

by **Pr4wn** Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:47 pm

I hate the Patriots, but the refereeing was disgraceful last night.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:56 pm

I don't think it's as bad as people were making out - the Chung play is holding, and they got the clock run off thing right. Only bad call was the Gronk OPI ridiculousness.

The refereeing in the 9ers-Cards game was much much worse. Which is kinda sad for the NFL.

It's amazing the league is so successful when really a lot of the time it's on spite of the rules/officials/commissioner

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Dec 01, 2015 2:29 am

I genuinely don't know how browns fans do it - how can you support that sorry ass franchise

by crazy_dave23 Tue Dec 01, 2015 1:33 pm

In the NFL, only Cleveland could be kicking a last second field with 3 seconds on the clock and manage to loose the game in those same 3 seconds...

by GSC Tue Dec 01, 2015 1:42 pm

From memory the Cowboys and Redskins had a similar ending a few years back

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Dec 01, 2015 4:36 pm

It wasn't just the blocked field goal - the whole sequence from when they got the pick was just a complete and utter disaster.

It's genuinely hard to be as bad as Cleveland is year in year out

On a related note, the guy that ranked all of their losses thinks it might crack the top ten (but that's about it). https://subwayrecord.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/every-browns-loss-since-1999-ranked/

If you want to cry Lions and Browns fans, I'll cry with you.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Dec 04, 2015 5:01 am

As a defensive unit - how on earth do you end up with a 5 on 5 in the end zone on a hail mary?

by GSC Fri Dec 04, 2015 5:07 am

In case the Packers threw a pass like 20 yards short and started a lateral

by crazy_dave23 Fri Dec 04, 2015 3:26 pm

Finally a Hail Mary works for Green Bay

That being said... still can't hide a few key facts... most notably that we are not doing very good in general at the moment - particularly early game

by cherriesfna Fri Dec 04, 2015 7:39 pm

karma , retribution, we are free, hallelujah.

the fail mary shall never be talked about again, everything in life balances itself out.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Dec 05, 2015 3:41 am

How bout that butler interception cherries....

by cherriesfna Sat Dec 05, 2015 5:52 am

that was just bad play callin #bevellout

by Lowlandbrit Sun Dec 06, 2015 3:13 pm

Can anyone actually remember how hiring Jeff Fisher ever seemed like a good idea for the Rams?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 06, 2015 4:01 pm

Man this slate of games has been good

Except for the Browns making sure they don't lose in the last minute again, and the Vikings doing their usual chocolate Santa impression under the slightest spotlight.

by **Pr4wn** Sun Dec 06, 2015 4:37 pm

I'm loving the Bucs' young talent. Winston, Evans, ASJ, Alexander, David and McCoy.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Dec 06, 2015 4:41 pm

ASJ isn't very good but the rest are promising for sure
