Huge win over Da Bears. 
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Where was that vaunted Patriots offence the first half? 9ers mde it interesting for rating purposes. This game was never in question. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
9ers win. Cowboys win. Broncos win. Packers win. Falcons win. Texans win. Looks like I was 100% right this week.
Denver is in the drivers seat for the 2nd seed overall. New England doesn't want to travel to Denver for a playoff game, real talk. Baltimore ain't beating anybody.
San Fran over Denver in the Super Bowl.

The ravens fucking suck.... Actually correction, Joe Flacco fucking sucks... Fucking Douchebag is probably still lying on the ground...
I don't know if the Redskins would be so eager to trade Cousins with having an injury prone RG3 and Rex
Grossman as their backup. But, I could see teams like jacksonville and arizona going for him. I could probably tell you every 2nd string qb in the league, but Kellen Moore, I've never heard of him.. He might have potential, but I don't see enough in him right now. I'm actually a big fan of Shaun Hill, and I think he's easily a better short term option over Stafford (we've seen what he's done in the past and this year)
Now my big question is, what the hell are the Raven's going to do with Flacco??? The fans are just calling for his head right now, I mean I've never seen it this bad before... The thing is, he really looks like he doesn't care about football. He fumbles the ball and says "oh well, that's what happens when you're a quarterback" :wtf: no Joe, that's not just a natural thing that you should be fine with... He's got no confidence and just looks like he's on tape delay.. I have no clue what's going to happen next year

I know the Shanahans plan to keep both QB's...IMO, We need at least two good QB's that can play at a relatively high level to be a real contender, and right now we're lucky to have three guys that know the Shanahan Offensive scheme and can actually execute it. Besides I doubt teams will be lining up to make Cousins their franchise QB based on 1 successful start against the Browns. I'm just happy the Skins are finally having some good fortunes at the QB position...it 's about time !
With Flacco, I think everybody has to be patient and not over-react...The change has been made, so now Flacco and Caldwell have got to get on the same page and put together a plan that Flacco feels he can be successful executing.
Denver is hot right now, facing them with a new OC who had never done the job before was a tall task...But Caldwell is a competant coach, they'll figure it out....But also maybe Flacco just isn't elite...like Cutler...If he can't get it done this year, maybe everbody should just lower expectations for him and allow him to be more of a game manager like a Trent Dilfer or Alex Smith.
Draft a QB in the off-season and either trade Flacco or let him compete for the job...But I wouldn't give up on Flacco just yet....he hasn't quite distinguished himself as a true franchise QB, but he's still better than alot of QB's in the league. Cut him some slack, with Flacco, B-more was one botched field-goal away from the Superbowl just last year !
The problem with Flacco is that his contract ends this season, so I have no clue what they plan on doing with him. I think we can franchise tag him, so that might be what just happens (although I'm sure he wants a long contract). The thing that just annoys me his inconsistency and the fact that he acts like he really does not care. It's one thing if he makes a bad play, but you never see him get mad at himself. All he does is sit on the bench or as of recently, lay on the ground.. I would so easily take Cutler over Flacco because at least he shows some emotion. The main problem is that there's noone to push Joe, Tyrod Taylor has no chance of even touching the field. So maybe they franchise Flacco and draft a qb in the 3rd round... It kills me, because I've always been a huge supporter of Joe, but the guy has taken a giant step back in his performance and attitude
Flacco is having a bad year, but I still believe in the guy. He was a dropped pass away from bringing the Ravens to the Super Bowl last year. The Ravens have been hurt this year, and it's pretty evident that the offence is going to have to pick up the slack now that they will eventually lose all those HOFers. Flacco can be that guy. People just expect every QB to be Brady/Peyton/Brees, etc.
Bears be pissing me off
I think Flacco would be better served by and oc who remembers that Ray Rice needs 25 touches a game and maybe use those te's a little more they sure seem to make plays when given a chance. it's not like he is terrible qb he's just not a top 5 guy but Arizona would kill to have him as would Jacksonville
The thing with Flacco and the Ravens, he's been at his best when Ray Rice has more touches, whether its a run or pass. Now, I'm not a Ravens fan, so correct me if I'm wrong, the i feel the issue is that there is TOO MUCH emphasis on Flacco to be the guy in the offense, when it should (IMO) clearly be Rice. Just my 2 cents

My Denver broncos are on fire

I've only watched two Lions games all season (tonight's, and their Thanksgiving game against the Texans), but I'd be willing to bet that a lot of them were "garbage" yards. Either way, it doesn't take away from his amazing accomplishment. It's not often that you hear about one of Jerry Rice's records being broken.
I doubt Tebow would get as much press coverage if he went to the CFL. The thing is, I'm betting the NFL and ESPN both love Tebow because he indirectly makes a ton of money for both of them.
As somebody that's not a fan of the Lions, but is forced to watch them as one of two games available due to where I live I would say he was helped some, but probably not as much as people might think. Most of the Lions losses have been close, and even before any losses most of the time he was cranking out yards down the field for the Lions before it got to that point.
A better argument against him might be that he has gotten his yardage in a higher passing era of the NFL than Rice did, and is one of the few good options on a team with weak receivers besides him. Then again, he also doesn't have Montana or Young throwing to him and doesn't have as good of teammates around him relatively to take some of the focus away from him so it probably balances out. He's gotten even better at finding the weaknesses in coverage against even double teams this year, which is scary when you think about it how good he already is, and he has been playing with an injured hand some this year. (Which is why he has more drops this year.)
