Chief@Raiders: What more is there to say about this game? Browns@Falcons: The Falcons are about to lose... at home... to the loving Browns. Oh my God, why the Browns? I know they're a pretty good team this year, but come on, man... why does my 7/9 play-off berth dream have to be shattered? Why do the loving Browns have to be the team to shatter it? Titans@Eagles: Mark Sanchez vs Zach Mettenberger. Are the announcers gonna do burritos vs burgers for the traits of the respective signal callers? Nah, it's too risky, Mark Sanchez would probably find his way to those buns too. Lions@Patriots: There is a non-zero chance that Brady get dick-kicked in this game, and I'd be watching for that alone. There's no chance this is the national broadcast game, so go in there an LIONS BITCH! Packers@Vikings: Some guy named Aaron is going to throw a lot of touchdowns. Jaguars@Colts: I haven't managed to catch a colts game all year, but I'm gonna go ahead and apologize to the Jaguars now. Bengals@Texans: This game looks like it could, at the very least, be fun to watch if it plays out as expected. Likely, though, one side is going to end up breaking it off in the other. Jets@Bills: God I wish this was the national broadcast. Sweet, delicious, garbage-time football! Kyle Orton vs Mike Vick in a game with little post-season implications. Buccaneers@Bears: The game we've all been waiting for. Lovie Smith is going to stick it to his former team, and stick it good, best of all, he's going to do it with their former back-up and... I can't keep doing this. Cutler snaps his losing streak. Cardinals@Seahawks: Go Cards! Rams@Chargers: I don't think the Rams can be as good as they were last week again, but I don't think they have to be to take out these seriously injury riddled Chargers. Dolphins@Broncos: gently caress you, Peyton! I cannot wait for the Grimes pick six. Redskins@49ers: gently caress this game. How is this a loving 4:25 game? Cowboys@Giants: Game of the week right here and has implications in control of the NFC East. I think this is a trap game and the Giants some how come out on top. Ravens@Saints: Well, this is easy for me. I hate the Saints and I like the Ravens. Go bird teams! Brees is probably going to carve up the Baltimore secondary and I just don't see the Saints dropping 3 home games in a row (3 home games in a row?) That's right, how the gently caress did the Saints get 3 back to back home-games against arguably the hardest opponents in the back-half of their schedule? This poo poo is fixed!

Bengals@Texans The series is tied 3-3. The last three were won by the Texans. Two were playoff appearances.  Two bad defenses, two mediocre offenses. Arian Foster is in, Vontaze Burfict is out. Foster is too good and won't be shut down like Ingram was last week. It'll be a squeaker but I bet the Texans pull it out because of Mallett. The Bengals are always bad against QBs with not a lot of tape. The Oline is good but will really be put to the test with Watt/Clowney.

Honestly I don't know how bad the Bengals defense is, but if you go by points allowed, I bet neither defense is 30th/28th like those rankings say. I know the Texans give up a lot of yards, but don't give up as many points unless the offense is loving things up left and right.

The Atlanta Defense has actually been playing pretty well the last several weeks. Granted it's been against dysfunctional offenses, but ain't Cleveland just? The Atlanta offense has sputtered and turned into soft, wet poo poo, though. The Cleveland D is definitely better than Atlanta's, so I think they wind up winning the game. How's Cleveland's kicker? If he's bad, that might mean the Falcons win.

Here, have a useless stat that means nothing but will still worry me while I watch what is going to be a super ugly game: quote:But there's this matter of the 0-10 Raiders. The Chiefs don't have a good record against teams that are winless this late in the season. They're just 1-3 against teams 0-10 or worse. e: For some actual dumb stuff important for that game KC will probably be down to Bowe and a bunch of guys you haven't heard of at receiver again. Travis Kelce is going to play and Anthony Fasano has a decent shot. PFF loves Khalil Mack against the run but the Raiders raw stats don't look like anything special (half of that is being behind all the time I'd imagine). It'll probably be really ugly and I'll worry a lot but KC ought to win in theory. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Nov 20, 2014 |

The weather is going to be really lovely in Minnesota and the Packers are probably going to win because they're better than Minnesota in every phase of the game. Thank you that is my analysis.

Chilichimp posted:Redskins@49ers: gently caress this game. How is this a loving 4:25 game? Because playing a home game at 10am would be idiotic? I'd have to get up at seven in the loving morning on a weekend just to barely make it to Santa Clara by kickoff, and they'd be cutting off alcohol at, like, noon. It's bad enough when it's an away game. I really wish the league would just abandon the "national game" concept and just never schedule West Coast teams in the early slot. Also, why is SF local TV showing the Lions/Pats instead of the enormously important game between our two division rivals?

Exclusivity rule: Absolutely no other game can air at the same time when your local team is playing at home (Week 17 and some extreme circumstances notwithstanding) This week both San Francisco and San Diego are hosting games late, so no one in California except for Imperial County is allowed to see Cardinals - Seahawks.

So Lions @ Patriots. It's pretty clear the Patriots won't play like they did against the Colts, where they played with 6 offensive linemen on half their snaps and just ran like crazy. Honestly, if you play fantasy, don't start Jonas Gray, he's probably going to get <10 carries. Lions statistically are the best defense, and their dline vs the Patriots oline should be a significant mismatch in their favor. I'd expect the Patriots to play them like they did the Broncos, going back to a heavy passing attack, short drops and quick throws. One area where the Lions are weak is passes to running backs, so probably a whole lot more Vereen then Gray. Edelman played sparingly against the Colts after he banged up his hamstring, so that's something to watch. Defensively, the Patriots will probably stick Revis on Calvin, at least we're all hoping to get to watch that. Beyond that, the Patriots struggle to cover tight ends, and the run defense is very suspect, though Detroit's rushing offense has been pretty bad, so this is probably going to be a game with 75+ pass attempts between the two teams.

I've actually heard the assumption was Revis on Tate because there's no way Browner can keep up with the way he cuts and runs. And then Browner on Calvin for maximum hilarity.

Detroit's defense has played well all year. Even with Touchdown Tom they should keep a decent lid on the Pats offense. That said, the Lions offense is total garbage. They don't use the tight ends at all, the run game is non-existent, the offensive line is trash. When you get bad, inaccurate Matt Stafford it's nothing but three and outs all afternoon. Hell they didn't even target Tate in the second half of the Arizona game. Lombardi is the reverse Teryl Austin. On edit I'll lay more blame on Caldwell for the offense. He seems to love lovely offense. (sans Peyton)

That would make sense, that's how they handled Thomas against the Broncos, and Hilton against the Colts. Even Kyle Arrington can cover TY Hilton as long as there's a safety married to him as well. But gently caress man, who doesn't want to watch Calvin vs Revis all day?

Atticus Finch posted:The Oline is good but will really be put to the test with Watt/Clowney. This is kind of a big mystery at this point. Yeah Watt of course is going to be a beast, but Clowney has played so little that we can't really know what to expect. He probably won't start, I'd expect ~35-45 snaps mostly in passing situations. I'd be surprised if Clowney has a very big impact on the game, maybe he'll make a play or two ~sighs and stares wistfully at Mack~

I am unsure if that is Lombardi or Caldwell as Caldwell claims that all play calls go through him, but still. Austin is amazing. I still advocate for promoting him to HC and making Caldwell's job just standing there looking stoic and a bit confused.

Shinjobi posted:I feel like I say this every week they play, but I'm concerned about this Cowboys/Giants game. Division games are never easy, and I think the Giants are hellbent on playing spoiler. I think it's possible we take this one from you for sure, but it's obviously not likely. Giants are more injured this time around, the defense has gotten worse (significantly worse) and the offense is on a downturn. Last time we played our team was pretty much done in by our coaching insisting on the run game and a couple of big turnovers (Namely Donnell's fumble). Outside that we hung with you fairly well. I don't see our insistence on the run going away, but we do have Jennings back and he's a little better than Andre Williams and Peyton Hillis. The issue is our run blocking, which is still atrocious. I don't predict the run game to do jack poo poo. Pass game is different. We've had some injuries and Eli isn't being protected as well as he was before, and it came to disaster last week. Eli isn't good under pressure anymore, and if you get to him it's going to be another bad game. If he has time though, the pass game will be fine. OBJ is the real deal and as long as Donnell holds onto the ball and Randle isn't too stupid the pass O might be alright. We also lost Prince, who did a respectable job on Dez last time even though Dez still played well. We are getting worse, and unless we get the Brandon Weeden experience or Murray gets hurt poo poo is hosed and I don't expect a victory here.
