I need my own personal desalination plant for how salty I remain after that Falcons game.

Sports radio isn't helping.
I've seen some upset fans in this city, but this is hands down the most livid I think I've heard people be since the Petrino Incident.

I have the strangest hangover right now. No headache, kinda achey, but I am feeling almost floaty. Like I am not sure if I am awake, or in a dream.
Time to up my meds!

That's a bold statement from an Eagles fan who survived the Reid era.
Packers about to lose by 10+
Its ok if you lose now as long as the Packers or someone else beats them in the playoffs.
Also, if someone on the Packers intentionally takes out Brady I will buy that players jersey and become a Packer stockholder.
P.S. I was lighting it up on the court yesterday. The only thing that could stop me was my teammates who sometimes forgot to get me the ball.
better place your order for an AJ Hawk jersey now
and that's good to hear - achilles feeling better then?
No pain in the achilles.
My bum knee is sore and stiff today but I am used to that and it doesn't bother me at this point. Did a lot of yard work on Saturday too so that probably didn't help.
The Pats actually running the ball scares the fuck out of me. We all know that Tammy wilts in the cold weather and intense pressure of the playoffs. But if the Pats take the ball out of her hands I think we all need to kneel down and pray to Tebow for injuries and misfortune to be sent to Foxboro.
Reminds me of Jim Caldwell's reasoning for calling a timeout in that playoff game a few years back against the Jets when the Jets were driving late, 2 points down.
Wut?
I used to think Vegas set the line based on who they think would win the game, and they always gave the road team 3 points default and worked from there. But I recently found out they set the line based on public perception of the game in most cases. Seems to makes sense as Vegas wouldn't want lopsided betting and this will drive betting on both sides if you set the line based on what the public thinks the spread will be.
May be common knowledge on NFL-GAF, but I never realized this until recently.
This is the kind of thing I would do foolishly while playing Madden. Not for a NFL head coach!

gooood
yeah, if the Packers don't get off to a fast start, I think they're fucked
talk shit - enjoy this while you can!
Troy is going to be praying real hard for a Romo TAINT the play after he gets the record.
It was my bday yesterday and the boys pulled off a win, couldn't be better! Was our defense as bad as I thought? Sheesh.

I'm ready to call for the Jags to fire Jedd Fisch.
Dude is playing it so safe with play calls that it's actively hurting the team. Nobody cares if a rookie QB throws an interception if he's throwing it down the field and learning. Instead we get a bunch of 1st and 2nd down runs and 3rd down short pass attempts.
We know the offense sucks. We know Bortles is reckless. He needs to learn, and you don't do that by not even trying. Get him out of the pocket, call some deeper passes, mix it up.
Our defense doesn't deserve this.

Accuracy was awful. I like that he seems to go through his progressions well, and he can find the check down. Mobile enough to keep the play alive and isn't overly eager to run. He just doesn't throw the ball with any authority. Im not just talking about arm strength, but I'm sure that's part of it. Every time he lets it go there's a "well, here goes nothing! " look to it.
Both are remorseful gentlemen who have sworn off violence!
Pretty bad the defense was drake soft in the first half and stupid self inflicted penalties did not help. There were times were they giving up 11 or 12 yards on first down. Giants converted on 11/16 3rd downs a stunning 68%. Giants even won TOP battle 35:07 to 24:53. They tightened up in the second half and managed to make some stands. I did I mention the giants scored on their first 3 possessions?

That is an amazing gif
Also cowboys d clearly runs on momentum. Coming off a bye week there was some serious first half suckage, esp. In the secondary

Raiola is gone after this year and I say good riddance. I understand it would suck to play your entire career with a horrible franchise but being a dick to fans and trying to injure guys is too much. Earlier this year he hurled himself onto a pile well after the whistle blew.

Morning buddies, what's there to say? Without the Fitz security blanket, Stanton was fucking trash. An extremely mediocre offense would have destroyed SEA yesterday with the way our D played but we put up the most putrid offensive performance since the year after Warner retired. As awful as SEA's offense is, ours was even worse. Feels bad because I'm not sure how long Fitz will be out, he's hoping for WK 13. Thank god we play the Falcons, we can win without him there. I expect some interesting practices after that disgusting performance and I'm also trying to remind myself how good SEA's secondary is, especially at home. We should be able to bounce back against ATL. I feel pretty damn good about the defense, SEA started on our side on the field or close the majority of their possessions so to hold them to one TD is pretty awesome. All the sacks and blocked FG were great too. We just need Stanton to pull his head out of his ass and I'm optimistic going into this week. Still your NFL Overlords, biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!
Oh yeah, GG Chicken-GAF, that's a big win to have with all the current standings fighting for a playoff spot.

If we play as badly as we did yesterday, New England will run us over. I wasn't impressed by anything other than our running game to close it out.
My boy trejo would look at any ass.

I agree with this 100%. I am sick of all of the complete useless roster fillers on this team. The coaching staff is too loyal. Just cut bait with these over priced replacement players and go with actual replacement players. They won't be much worse. Herzlich, Kiwi, Hosley, to name a few on defense. Just go away.
Funny we going to add Paul Kruger younger brother to replace Nick Williams on the PS

He wouldn't have done that if Vince was there and not the rookie Moore.
Raiola attacked the UW band, pretty sure he is just a doped up lunatic willing to attack anyone.
The difference is that Kalil is a turnstile.
Well it seems the debate over Mike Smith in Falcons land has finally reached its inevitable conclusion.
The Detroit game swung things to about 70/30 between the self-annointed "realists" and the "optimists", but I think it's safe to say that yesterday's disaster was the final nail in the coffin. There's no one left that wants him to be associated with Atlanta. Besides Saints fans.
It's a shame that the legacy of the most winning coach in Falcon's history had to end like this in ruin. But then again, in Atlanta, everything seems to end in ruin. I think even if we somehow miraculously won the Superbowl, we'd respectfully ask him to retire afterwards.
