The NFL is not good for my blood pressure.

It was all the short passes Peyton made as well, just felt lackluster. I guess it's the trouble of being up too big, you can be damned either way but for all the talk of elite QBs and etc etc really would expect more.

I'd gladly take Peyton, he's a legend, HoFer and gotta be the smartest QB in the game buuuuuuut, with a new team, an undeniably talented one to boot, failing to close out a 24-0 lead in another "big game" pains me to say but the reputation is building a bit...

Stillers still alive, game Thanksgiving night against the Ravens should be a usual brawl...if I can fight off the lazy boy and tryptophan effect and stay awake.

The Broncos loss will come back to haunt them, how ironic that Welker's mistake ended the game. I agree that Manning needs to man up in the elements, even though the running game was working. It does not look promising for the playoffs since most all the AFC leaders are outdoor cold weather stadiums (except the Colts).

IDK it's a tough one but sheesh, you have to admit didn't even look like he was trying outside of a few minute stretch. Just damn. Guess it just felt like such a buzzkill for an elite QB, especially when Brady was thriving despite the awful conditions. I hate all the comparison hype, but in this game I saw a QB afraid to throw until it was absolutely necessary and one that went for it despite early struggles.

Hope tonight goes well, which would be SF crushing Washington.

Zero hope btw, not that I had any (I just was hoping to beat all our rivals) but honestly, wouldn't mind if from here out the Giants just tanked so we can try to get Clowney. Need help all over, but they love linemen so might as well start there. Love Tuck, and Kiwanuka, but they gotta go it seems. TY for the times guys but they simply don't produce anymore (can't count a 4 game stretch of decent play against awful opponents really). I figure: Tuck, Kiwanuka, Rolle, Webster, Diehl, Snee all gotta be let go. I was wrong about Nicks, we should have traded him for anything we could've gotten after all, dude apepars to have quit on the team.

Least the O line continued to improve, held up pretty well and opened some decent holes for Brown, who still is running like a madman. Thank god for that at least!

EDIT: I was shocked to see the KC result but then learned of injuries to Hali and Houston. That is basically their defense right there

what was more shocking was to see how they bounced back. 38 points??? Thought it was against their team rules to go that high! Didn't know Alex Smith could even physically throw the ball for so many yards

And my god, did he hand the ball of 50 times? Looked like Peyton and co was trying to let the Pats come back (then let em win). Well, was a helluva comeback

I know he's Peyton Manning, but when your RB's are getting 6 yards a carry, why not? Sure they were dropping the ball all over the place, but so was Manning.

Crazy end to that Lions game.

Who would have thought the hapless chargers would make it a shootout with the chiefs. I suppose the defensive injuries help, but still...

As for the gmen...Cruz really has to learn to hold on to the damn ball. Twice now it's been ripped from his hands...both in divisional games. Oh well...they are really more like a 5-11 team this year anyway.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

That game was insanely good. Not the way I wanted it to end, but then again, nothing in sports have gone my way lately.

Wow
Peyton is more afraid to throw then a 13 year old boy asking out the hot girl in class.
....I'm tired and eaten up by cold, cut me some slack

Srsly, I know it's like 20 and windy but Brady seems to have no issue passing. Cmon Peyton, man up!
Edit: Hey whadya know, throwing it near Demaryius tends to work out well. Glad you remembered this now with 6 minutes left in the 4th Angry

Way to give away the game in the first quarter. Dead

Thanks Colts for losing. The Bengals have a very good shot at the 2 seed in the AFC if they can finish strong.

Also f**k Hakeem Nicks, I loved that guy but he took himself out of the game last week, then was a last second scratch despite no injury news? Add to it his comment "I really have nothing to say to yall now" bitch ass punk, how badly could we have used him in this game, the biggest of the year . Should've traded him for anything they could've gotten.

Giants piss away another very possible win. What a f**king pitiful display. The Cruz fumble was the difference in the end. Or the Giants agonizing difficulty in scoring TDs, or all the penalties. Antrel bigmouth Rolle had to cover slot corner due to injury and he responded with his usual...get totally burned. Dallas really targeted him on that final drive. Hope that guy is booted off this team, plus the off coordinator.

The NFL is a f**king joke. What a terrible call against JJ's Giants. And what a f**king joke that drool oaf Troy Aikman is for defending that bullsh*t. Garbage league.

Time always wins.

That was a great game, but it ended in a horrible way. I love seeing the Pats lose in any way possible, but that was one of the most obvious holding calls you'll ever see.

Yeah especially since they threw the flag and then picked it up. But that pass would have been picked anyway.

I agree on the holding call that wasn't made. But even if they had made it, the odds that the Pats would have scored the winning TD on a time-expired play was still marginally low.

Still though. It makes me excited for that Saints-Panthers game in about 2 weeks.

Denver/NE is of course the big one this week, but I can't wait for Cowboys/Giants.

Could be a huge game by season's end, I'd say perhaps the most critical game of the year but really, have to adopt a "win every game no exception" mentality from here out anyway.

Bad Dallas defense, better looking Giants (not that they're real good) I am fairly hopeful.
