Rumor is that the Browns are considering replacing Tom Heckert with Mike Lombardi as GM. I’m ready to self immolate in protest. ---

I think the Browns will finally go off today. ---

I fear my boys in black and gold are in for another tough day. The Ravens are a good team even when we’re not all dinged up. I’ll be rooting like heck anyway! ---

Why its Mason Crosby still on this team? He should have been gone two weeks ago. ---

The 49ers’ offense is schizophrenic. They’ll have games like the ones against the Bills or Bears, and they’ll have one like against the Vikings, Giants, or today against the Rams. ---

So who were those guys that showed up in Baltimore this week? They weren’t the same guys who were playing last week… Was a squeaker, but the boys in black and gold pulled it out in the end. ---

Clearly Fumble Flacco was playing this week. Typical Ravens-Steelers game. I wish it had the opposite result but that’s what happens when you play like crap. ---

> [@piepiepie](#): > > Clearly Fumble Flacco was playing this week. Typical Ravens-Steelers game. I wish it had the opposite result but that’s what happens when you play like crap. Ha! At least he wasn’t like Sanders who fumbled (apparently) because the Ravens looked at him in a mean way… (quoted from the Steelers web site.) > [@](#): > > It was a third-and-11 from the Pittsburgh 28-yard line when Charlie Batch threw a perfect strike to a slanting Emmanuel Sanders, who was running free down the middle of the field when he inexplicably lost the football after gaining 21 yards. Ed Reed recovered the ball, and six plays later, Ray Rice bounced outside for a 34-yard touchdown that gave the Ravens a 20-13 lead with 4:50 left in the third quarter. ---

> [@piepiepie](#): > > I wish it had the opposite result but that’s what happens when you play like crap. This was the late game we got to watch, and both teams played like crap. It was a painful game to watch, with more mistakes (Sander’s fumble was classic) and stupid penalties than actual good plays. I couldn’t care less who got the win, but neither team impressed me at all. ---

I don’t think those games are meant to impress anybody really. Low scoring, defensive chess matches are boring for everyone who doesn’t wear those colors. Shit my brother and I were bored and we’ve been Ravens fans from the jump. ---

Just realized but the SNF and MNF games involve nothing but the NFC East. They should redo the schedule so they can do this every week. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-13/642499.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-13/642499.md?page=3)
