NFL Week 13

The Game Room
1

I’ll let someone else post the schedule and lines.

I just have a thought to share: has anyone else ever noticed that the Patriots’ roster is really, really white? Their starting offense on Sunday night included one black player: Stevan Ridley. They also had five white players starting on defense.

They’ve started two different white wide receivers this season (Edelman, Amendola), and of course they had Welker for years. I’m pretty sure no other team in the league has two on their roster (I’m having a hard time thinking of a team other than the Broncos and Cowboys who even have one.)

I am not suggesting that Belichick or the personnel department is racist. It’s just unusual.

So you just assume that NFL lineups should have a lot of non-white people?

You sir are the racist

3

There has to be some quip in there about “wide whites”, but I sure cannot come up with it (and you kids would not have a clue what I was on about anyway).

4

Packers have Jordy Nelson

5

Well, whether or not the Pats are whiter than usual, they’re not as dominant as they were in the past. They did do a number on the Broncos though.

6

Winning late in overtime due to a muffed punt is doing a number on a team?

7

No, but coming back from a huge deficit like they did certainly is.

8

I forgot Brian Hartline too.

No. I assume that NFL lineups will have a lot of non-white people (specifically, black people) because as a matter of fact, they otherwise invariably do.

9

Just from a trivial standpoint, the Titans sorta-kinda had 3 white WRs last week. However:

  1. Marc Mariani is more of a KR than WR and has been on IR all this year (and last).
  2. Kevin Walter has yet to play for Tennessee and has been on the PUP list all season.
  3. Devin Wylie is even more of a KR than WR (unlike Mariani, I don’t think he has played a snap for the Titans at WR) and was waived earlier this week.

It’s racist to say that there should be an overwhelming percentage of African Americans on a team.
It’s not racist to point out that there generally is an overwhelming percentage of African Americans on a team.

11

Too bad the weather didn’t have anything to do with it :rolleyes: … they may meet again in different circumstances … not that mile high stadium is any better.

12

I’m going out on the World Shortest Ledge and make the following brave prediction: Home teams sweep today.

13

Did the weather have anything to do with it? Tough conditions affect both teams, so I look at it as pretty much a wash. Am I in the minority on that? I think altitude can make a bigger difference since it takes a while to acclimate.

14

The Packers’ offensive line should be embarrassed by their performance today. They were an unmitigated disaster.

15

Yep, I am not even sure why I am still watching.

16

Everything about the Packers was a disaster. Did they send in a local high school team today or what happened?

17

Since when do the Cowboys wear their blue jerseys at home?

18

LOL, the Browns signed that guy with that Youtube video of him throwing trick shot footballs to be their backup QB.

19

So the Ratbirds are now the new threat to usurp the Bengals. That was actually a pretty crazy and entertaining game between the Steelers and Rats. But all the Bengals need to do is take care of business against San Diego and they will be set. Lose that game and the two and a half game lead in the division will shrink to only one game over the Rats.

I am happy the Steelers lost because when that happens an angel always gets it’s wings, but the Rats are starting to play well and are becoming a concern.

That game was in no way an indication of the Ravens playing well, or even starting to play well. That game was two hapless inebriates in an alleyway fistfight.
