Graham had that, lost the battle under the pile. Shit. ---

Shane Lechler has been a beast today. Basically every kick has put the Bears under pressure. ETA: Beaten to it. ---

Damn, if the WRs had been on the same page there we’d have had a shot at a monster play, the Raiders were sleeping. Shit way to end it. ---

Ugh. I knew they weren’t gonna pull it off, but bad way to end the game. Still, I remain optimistic. The Raiders were probably second hardest game remaining on the schedule, and they only lost by 5. This season is far from over. ---

Yahoo scoring: 4 points for 4 catches. 14.5 points for 145 receiving yards 13.3 points for 133 kick return yards (this was key—the “Afraid of Hester” bonus) 6 points for a touchdown 1 point for a 40+ yard catch. 5 points for reaching 100+ receiving yards. ---

> [@Jules\_Andre](#): > > That Bengal flopping after the Dalton fumble was one for the ages. **Sad there wasn’t a good replay** Oh, but there is! Check this shit out. Keep an eye on the left side of the screen right after the Dalton fumble. Simpson drags Fujita out of the pile by his foot and then does an Oscar-worthy flop when Fujita brushes against him…hilariously bad acting and totally soccer-worthy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SmT_28N4_Mo?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ETA: Fujita’s reaction is hilarious. His body language says “Oh c’mon, man…really?” ---

Not really. He had a serviceable game for once. I’m just glad that he won so now I know whether or not he played well. I mean if they had lost, then it must mean Tebow sucks, because W-L is what matters, right? ---

> [@Airman\_Doors\_USAF](#): > > Tebow trolls you guys again. Too funny. [Eloquently](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14505275&postcount=157) stated by **Hamlet** in [another](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=631305) thread: [QUOTE=Hamlet] I’m going to fucking cockpunch the first person who says “He just wins”. The defense holds the Chargers to 13, get a huge sack at the end of regulation, make two stops in OT, get a huge tackle for loss to make it a tougher field goal, and McGahee makes the big run to get into field goal range, and it’s all about Tebow. [/QUOTE] Well, eloquent outside of “fucking cockpunch.” ---

I didn’t say it was all about Tebow. But that’s what the discussion will be about, which amuses me greatly. ---

Is there a rule of thumb for figuring out who screwed up on a missed pass: a quarterback who threw to the wrong spot or a receiver who wasn’t where he was supposed to be? I want to know I’m swearing at the right person. ---
