I stopped watching The Walking dead when I realized that literally every episode was an hour long tease of the next episode and it is basically a soap opera with zombies that also sucks.

Tonight’s episode is a classic example of this, sadly.

Same - Sons of Anarchy was similar. I mean, if I want to see people I don't like make abysmally stupid decisions, I'll just hang out with my family.

Every story based TV series ever.

I haven't read this entire thread but after seeing the Saints lay an egg at home against Atlanta yesterday I don't feel as bad about last week now.

It happens.

PIT just took down last years SB team.
MIA is beating people (for some reason).
KC - the unbeatable KC - has now lost 4 of 6.
The (formerly) one win Falcons just took down the (formerly) one loss Saints.

It happens.

LOL  Even hyperkinetic / overblown Skip Bayless is FREAKING OUT that DAL tried to run the ball with Elliott at the end of the game.

I was fine with the call on 2nd down. Not many teams can stop Elliot for no gain on 2nd and 1 especially with their top run defender not playing (Joseph). The 3rd down call was the bad call.

I submit Elliott had been shut down, Dallas was moving the ball thru the air and to go to him at that *critical* moment of the game was a mistake.

Excluding the very last (Hail Mary) drive - here's Dallas's last two possessions:

2nd & 5 at MIN 35: (12:36 - 4th) (Shotgun) D.Prescott pass incomplete short right to M.Gallup.

Hoping Russel Wilson can use DK and Gordon to pull a rabbit out of his hat tonight against San Fran......

I’m just really happy for Clay Matthews.  7.5 sacks in 6 games.  Just proves that he still has a lot left and all he really needed was some kind (any kind) of interior pass rush to really help his game.  Makes you wonder what might have been had we been able to give it to him here.  Instead, he had to make it work with no pass coverage or interior rush the past two years while being the only effective pass rushing option for all the years Peppers wasn’t there.

Yes makes a difference when you're playing with talent around you. He didn't have it here that often. I wanted him back. Instead of giving Daniel's money to Lowry they should have given it to Clay.

And then we wouldn't have drafted Gary and instead we would have drafted Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence or Jeffery Simmons. 

Clay Matthews playing a mixture of relief pass rush and ILB rusher would have been fun to watch. 

****, this is gonna be like another Mandarich instead of Barry Sanders or Deion Sanders if Gary doesn't turn into an 80 career sack player.

I am still trying to figure out who to rout for in this one.  I guess if you think we have a shot at the #1 seed then SEA.   Just can't get past my hate for the Seachickens.  Just want a bye don't care if it's #1 or #2 seed.  Think I'll pull for SF in this one.  Just hate Seattle think I even hate them more than the Vikings.  So in order of hate #1 Seattle #2 Vikings #3 Patriots.  I really really really hate Seattle.

? Why pull for the team behind us in the playoff rankings to win (?) against the only team ahead of us in the playoff rankings (?) who we just happen to play in two weeks?

You need to bury your hate with rationale thought

It's a win either way honestly. I'll pull for Seattle because we are still in the picture for the No. 1 seed as of now so a SF loss helps that goal. On the other hand, if we fall out of the No. 1-2 race, and we're simply hunting for the division, or worse, a WC spot, SEA is one of the teams we'll be competing against so another loss for them will help as well.
