As a Patriots fan, I was really hoping the Pats could travel to the Meadowlands and get a win on the Jets home turf. Obviously, the Patriots are the better team, but they have a maddening habit of making mediocre quarterbacks look great and they were coming off a blowout win on a short week. So I was optimistic, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the pure joy I experienced watching that massive spanking last night. I cannot stand Rex Ryan - I think he’s an arrogant blowhard whose family connections have risen him higher than he ever deserved to go, who makes bad decisions and stubbornly refuses to change his mind, and who just cannot keep his stupid mouth shut. So it was pure delight to watch his team get absolutely embarrassed on the national stage. Every moment of Jets suckitude was like more delicious gravy on my stuffing. Special shout-out to Cris Collinsworth, who was hilarious in the booth: “Mark Sanchez is gonna start chanting for Tebow soon.” Gold! ---

I too always root against Rex. Last night was a great game. ---

Bumping this for Sunday’s slate. IMO St. Louis and 'zona are playing an elimination game. With ALOT of help, Houston clinches a berth. (anyone know the 4 losses they’re rooting for?) ---

Might I just note how giddy I get when Scott Hanson does his “Settle in for seven hours of football, here on RedZone Channel” bit? Seven hours on the couch, followed by the Giants beating down the Pack. Ahhhhh, I love autumn Sundays… ---

Thanks **Maddie**! BTW, I like Scott’s "Settle in for 7hrs. " line too. ---

Apparently someone watching the Miami game wants to stay at Buffalo Wild Wings. ---

Why the fuck are the Vikings throwing on 4th and 2 when they have Adrian Fucking Peterson and a 9,000 lb. offensive line? ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Why the fuck are the Vikings throwing on 4th and 2 when they have Adrian Fucking Peterson and a 9,000 lb. offensive line? Is that the game that FG would’ve made it a 15 point game? Why they went for it, much less with that pass, was a mystery. ---

Man, Brady Quinn looks a helluva lot like Justin Bieber. This Buc/Falcon game has been a heck of good matchup. Still anyone’s game. ---

It’s always good to have forced more turnovers than the score difference of your margin of victory. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-12/641859.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-12/641859.md?page=4)
