Some heads need to roll at Halas Hall tomorrow morning. Just fucking awful, looking like they’re going to give up 50+ in two straight games.

Lame. Go for some records.

Well, hoped to watch them continue to crush but now it’s just normal garbage time. Meh…

Jay Cutler. The gift that just keeps giving.

They didn’t have to call Jimmy Graham for pushing off at the end of regulation. Hail Mary for the win is a better story than OT-fumble-knuckleball FG for the loss.

Sigh. 4-5.

And they just had to show the graphic about the last Saints-49ers OT game, with Joe Freaking Montana. Sigh.

I heard there was a plane towing a banner over the meadowlands during the game, “[Jets rebuilding since 1969](http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/11/jets-rebuilding-since-1969-banner-flies-over-metlife-stadium)”.

Carson Palmer, likely torn ACL. The Cards are cursed.

I’d consider trading Cutler for Palmer right now.

Yeah, they did. OPI does not get more much more blatant.

The only Chicago team to win in Soldier Field this year is the Chicago Blackhawks

> In my opinion it’s kinda bullshit. Amazing, one-handed catches happen literally every week in the NFL. Plays that are commonplace today, if made 30 years ago, would’ve gotten a player onto the highlight reels for a decade or two. I don’t know why the NFL allows these gloves, except perhaps that they just want more offense.

They like offense, and they like highlight-reel catches. I agree it’s bullshit. Even good pass coverage doesn’t get rewarded, because it’s hard to cover a guy who can stick out velcro mitts and reel in a ball.

I had KC minus 2 and was scared to death that they’d kick that field goal and make it a 1 point game.

Jeeps - the Browns and the Pack both 6-3 and in first place. Pinch me, I’m dreaming.

Now my problem is when they meet in the Superbowl I won’t know who to root for.

I keep seeing “Look at this Academy Award-quality flop!” superimposed over the replay. And yet, at both normal speed and slow speed I see Graham push his arms out into the other guy’s shoulder…I’m not sure what they’re looking at, but as a disinterested party who was only watching because the game was close, it’s not clear that it’s a flop, and it _is_ clear that it’s pass interference.

The Pats did amazingly well for a bye week. Having Buffalo and Miami lose is great for the AFC East picture, but those games are going to be tough ones. The Pats have a rough enough schedule from here on out that any buffer is good. Even the Jets will prove to be a tough game. I _hate_ that NE is #1 in lots of rankings right now; no good can come from that.

As always in the NFL, a bunch of teams that started out pretty awful seem to have gotten their act together and are playing pretty well. And a few are crumbling.

Obviously, the Saints throwing a _hail mary_ makes no sense at all.
