Game Thread: Christmas Day triple header

[Fountain City Blues]

It’s actually 11-4. That’s what’s so frustrating. They have enough talent to win. They can’t get out of their own way with self induced problems.

Man, have you guys been removed from SB contention that long already?

My bad. Got you and thunderc confused.

Lotta people were though, I thought he might win it. Then he has a shitty game so

No cosmetic 2nd string scores to make it look closer than it was.....

The Ravens kicked the living shit out of the 49ers all night.

Yeah, Purdy had an awful game but that OL was getting worked all night.

The Ravens pass defense has been insanely good. Opponents are averaging only 4.6 Y/A and they've thrown more INTs than TDs (15/16), not to mention they have 54 sacks.

Yes, the Eagles are 11-4, but anyone who has watched in recent weeks can see they are struggling. And @fightinfunbags is making the point that, even when they were 10-1, they had won a lot of nail-biters that were an emotional rollercoaster to watch, unlike last year when they were more dominant and soundly beat many opponents.

It would be wild if this team clinched a 1 or 2 seed and made it back to the Super Bowl playing like this. I frankly can't see it happening.

and Russ for 7 more of those years. If Pete and John would have drafted BA instead of reaching maybe things would have been different.

They can’t make a Super Bowl playing this way. At the same time, their issues are self imposed. They can’t get out of their own way. I’ve watched enough football to know it’s possible for a team to find it and play at their highest level. Even poor teams can achieve their highest level. It’s all easier said than done and evidence says they’re more likely to not fix the issues they’ve been trying to fix for months. But the talent is there if they can find a way to circle the wagons and start playing clean football.

True but FEb 1, 2015 with less than a minute left was the end of it. Coulda, shoulda, woulda and Malcolm Butler, damnit.

The Seahawks are a solid team but they won't be contenders without a top 10 QB. They'd like a few difference makers on defense as well, but QB is a must have.

We would have a standing chance if we had a solid running game and top 10 defense but defense and running game are pedestrian along w/ our QB, unfortunately... Although, the defense has been playing better in Jamal Adams absents along with a Woolen benching... Coincidence? Who knows...

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you’re talking about … I thought the calendar went from 2014 to 2016 … leap year ? Where the &@“&$ are my gummy edibles ?
