I tell ya, Jeff-- I would like to see the Red Byrds kick the Seahags' tails into next Tuesday..

Well that isn't going to happen. What could happen is the Cardinal defense could keep the game close enough to give them a chance, and a successful running game could keep the inevitable interceptions to a minimum.

BATTLE FOR THE #1 PICK!!! It’s a critical matchup between the Itty Bitty Titties and the Judge Advocate Generals. Unless TN gets some implants they aren’t winning this game.

Redskin, deadskin, how about no skin? They’re down to a skeleton in Washington, Eagles win.

The Boltz need to win, and they will go on the road and beat the eliminated 69ers.

My Bears last home game of the season, and they’re back on Sunday, it’s been nice having them stink up Thursday and Monday instead. I’m glad those poor fans that paid for those tickets only have to watch one more loss. The Lions are only favored by a TD? They should double that, at least.

Vikings at Dolphins, interesting matchup, meaningless game. Vikes can win this but I’ll go with the home team Tuna.

As terrible as there are here we have the Ain’ts in the driver’s seat. The last home game of the year, they’re lost 4 in a row there. They’ll beat my uncle’s Falcolns.

I hope the Jets enjoyed winning last week, it’ll be their last of the year, they’re grounded.

The Stoolers are so inconsistent, or incontinent. So are the Chiefs who beat SEA and then lost to OAK the next week. PITT needs to win, and they do, I guess.

Green Bay and Tampa Bay, well Tampa Bay is gonna turn red, red with the blood of the Lovie’s Somali Salami Smuggling Barbary Coast Bottom Boys. Whatever remains of them will get packed, and shipped.

My name is Cleveland Brown and I am here to say I have ****ing clue who’ll win this football game. http://www.random.org/coins/ 5 Liberty Head Nickels game down 3 heads to 2 Tails, Home Team Fig Newtons win it but J. Football plays better, I’m told he needs to get rid of the ball quicker.

Houston, you have a problem, you aren’t that good. Corvids win.

Rams ram Diet Manning and the Lilliputions.

No Demarco? No matter, the Colts are begging for a loss, the fans at Jerry World are begging for a home win, fly in Christie Creme for luck. Make him the new team mascot.

Oakland keep #1 pick pace with a loss to Buffalo.

The defending Champs are surging, my poor QB-less Old Chi Cardinals are gonna get bumped down into a WC spot.

Broncos beat the Bungles. Payton are you ok bro?

JAX
PHI
SD
DET

MIA
NOLA
NEW
PIT

GB
CAR
BAL
STL

DAL
BUF
SEA
DEN

if, perchance, the ‘Boys lose to INDY:
then the ‘Boys will have clinched the tiebreaker vs GB ... and can get the wildcard at:

PHI 11-5 DIV
DAL 11-5 WILDCARD!

DET 11-5 DIV
GB 11-5 OUT!

however, if DAL is 11-5 due to loss vs SKINS (a conf game), no!, GB is the wildcard!

Jimmy Clausen starting for the Bearlies is like
the SPCA being excited when Vick started for the Beagles.

Still waiting......

Gopster showed me an article

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/columnists/ron_borges/2014/12/borges_jay_cutler_s_simply_un_bear_able

“Jay Cutler has been a winner at every level of football except college and the pros."

That is not just a burn, it's an incineration. It goes on to to cite his college record, 11-35, 5-27 SEC. I knew it was bad but I had forgotten it was that putrid. Now the whole team did stink, they were the whipping boys of the SEC, but aren't pretty much all NFL Qbs at least over .500 in college? Even the damn third stingers?

And now's he's benched for someone that everyone knows sucks and will never amount to anything. Frankly, Jimmy Clausen is not even good enough to be a backup. He's not a top 60 QB. Is he even top 90? Would Arizona take Clausen right now? Even though I expect the Lions to win by an even greater margin now, I can't help but be glad I don't have to watch Culter this Sunday. I say this is the end, he's taken his last snap in Chicago.

The only questions are:

1)Can the Bears find an idiot to trade for his gold-plated turd? Earlier tonight I watched "American Horror Story", a Hindu midget was traded to freak show for 3 cases of Dr. Pepper. I'd be thrilled to get a 4th round pick, too much?

2)Will they put all the blame on Cutler and give Trestbot another year with new coordinators? Please no.

ya got any updates or special situations to add to the tiebreakers?

what about the hyper-interesting AZ vs GB SOV tiebreaker if GB beats DET? ... it could be but if AZ loses to SEA .... DIV is almost gone.

I have the NYG game and the PATS at 1pm
only Cowboys interesting this Sunday at 4pm. No Fox game for me at 1pm. Must hit bar room that has satellite ... must hit bar room ...

Week 16 and the playoff picture will be much clearer after this week's clashes. So here we go!

Week 16

Thursday, Dec. 18

Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 8:25 p.m. What a dog this game is! The Jags, despite their horrible record, have actually shown signs of becoming a respectable team. The Titans... oy! Jags win.

Saturday, Dec. 20

San Diego Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers, TBD You know it's late December when the NFL starts playing on Saturday. The Bolts still have an outside chance at the playoffs, the Niners don't and are frankly in disarray. Philip Rivers is still Philip Rivers and Colin Kaepernick is still, well, Colin Kaepernick. Chargers!

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins, TBD It would be one of the biggest upsets of the year if the Deadskins win this game. They ain't gonna win this game! Iggles!

Sunday, Dec. 21

Cleveland Browns vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. The Browns have had a horrific three weeks and I don't see anything changing in Week 4 of that streak. Panthers.

Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. The Lions look to be cruising to the playoffs and the Bears are another team falling apart (Cutler benched for Jimmy Clausen. I didn't know Jimmy Clausen was still in the league!). But the Lions have proven over the years they cannot be counted on in December. Fingers crossed - Lions win!

Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans, 1 p.m. This is no cakewalk for the Ravens. Granted they get to face the Texans second-stringer at QB, but who knows, the Ts may substitute JJ Watt at the position before the game is over. The Ravens must win if they want to make the postseason and Flacco will deliver. Ravens.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. Dolphins were looking good three weeks ago. WERE. THREE WEEKS AGO. Vikings are improving week-to-week and Teddy Bridgewater is the real deal. Vi-Queens.

Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m. Falcons beat the Saints in a squeaker in the season opener in Atlanta. That won't happen in New Orleans. Plus the Saints have a secret weapon - Atlanta coach Mike Smith! Saints!

New England Patriots vs. New York Jets, 1 p.m. No way Tom Terrific and the Pats fall to the lowly Jets with home field in the playoffs on the line. Patriots.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m One of the better games of the weekend and honestly the way these two have been so up-and-down I don't know what the heck to think. But.... Big Ben at Heinz Field... maybe he goes wild again with eight TDs and Bell runs for 300 yards. Steelers.

Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m. Rodgers and The Pack rebound from last week's stinker. Packers.

New York Giants vs. St. Louis Rams, 4:05 Rams have shown a heckuva 'D' over the last month and that should be enough to hold Eli and Odell in check. Rams.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. Man oh man.... 'Boys really need this one but have been inexplicably mediocre at home (they lost to the Deadskins for gosh' sake!). And Murray is hurt.... Going heart over head here - Romo gets it done and Bendy's 'Boys win.

Buffalo Bills vs. Oakland Raiders, 4:25 p.m.Bills.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals, 8:30 p.m. Seahawks have absolutely shut down every offense they've faced the last month and the anemic Cards O will not be able to break through either. Seahawks.

Monday, Dec. 22

Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 8:30 p.m. Peyton is rounding into playoff form (he was sick in last week's game against San Diego). Bengals are, pardon the pun, paper tigers! Broncos.

1)Can the Bears find an idiot to trade for his gold-plated turd?

That contract they gave him last year makes it almost impossible to move him without a significant cap hit.

Restructure with Cutler, but why would he want to do that? He’s the Jeff George of the 21st-century NFL. Coaches and OCs see that arm and are set drooling thinking about the offense they can implement around him. Unfortunately, the arm comes with the head and it all goes sour.
