NFL Week 12: The pride of Mr. John Brodie

I'm a Lions fan and I think GB will win by a touchdown. Cowboys will win by 10 minimum and Ravens will edge 49ers by 3.

 

I'm really looking forward to a great day of football. But watching Dallas-Miami will be worse than Texas-aTm

 

It's a sad state of affairs for the AFC West that Pioli and Haley apparently think the season is still salvageable.

 

Saw a stat today that the Ravens have already played the top-rated defense, the second-ranked defense twice, as well as the third-, sixth-, and seventh-ranked defenses. They will finish the regular season with 10 or 11 games against top-10 defenses (total yards). Surprisingly, the Ravens have scored 28-or-more points in six of 10 games, tied for second behind the Packers (7 times).

 

How many defensive touchdowns, or FGs set up y positive field position?

 

That is definitely a part of it, but when Flacco is on, that offense is very, very good. The problem is that you can't count on Flacco to be consistent.

 

Does that kid have a moustache?

 

I just changed my picks.

 

Top and bottom, yes . . . but the cream in the Oreo cookie is dreck. It's time to start rotating the late afternoon Turkey Day game, and quit blowing the Cowboys, who hardly need it and don't deserve it, given their asshole, meddling owner and their fairweather, frontrunning fan base.

 

I dunno, Ben. Seeing as how the Cowboys got the Thanksgiving game in the first place only because no other NFL team wanted it, I think it's fair they get to keep their tradition. Way back during the merger, some AFC team should've volunteered for the mission, so that we wouldn't have to have one interconference game out of the two each year for the networks' sake, but they didn't.

 

A division leader and a team that's won three straight? I don't disagree with any insult you lobbed at the Cowboys, but I wouldn't quite dismiss that game as dreck.

 

The Cowboys are as good a bet as any in the league to have a pretty good team, year in and year out.
