2015-16 NFL Season

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Yea more like cold garbage

[VHSCoach2]

Ben Roethlisberger left the game with a shoulder injury and all the momentum has switched to Cincinnati.

[VHSCoach2]

Big Ben came back into the game on the final drive, and Burfict and Adam Jones had two completely stupid 15 yard penalties that gave the Steelers field goal range. Steelers win 18-16.

Kansas City at New England
Pittsburgh at Denver

Next weekend.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Yep

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Was pulling for the bengals

[mtindian42]

That bengals team was clearly out of control...Lewis had absolutely no control of his players... None...

[WPWells]

Burfict penalty was deserved. No reason to throw the flag on Jones. The Steelers coach was on the field instigating that while his player was down.

Burfict played all season as a head-hunter. He needs to be banned.

How does Walsh miss that field goal? The Vikings outplayed the Seahawks the entire game. Goodness gracious....

Picks for this upcoming weekend? Ill take Denver, Kansas City, Carolina, and Arizona

I'd say it was a pretty even game and Seattle won the fourth quarter for sure.  Would have been 0-0 at halftime without the bad punt snap by the Seahawks.  Minnesota played tough though and I knew it would be a battle with their team healthy, along with the cold.

Also, I don't think any field goal in -degree weather is automatic.  Sure he made his first three, but still, that's hard to do.  I bet if you had told most Vikings' fans he was 3-for-4 in FG's before the game, they would have taken it.  I sure would have from Hauschka.

That said, the game could have gone either way, and I'm just glad it went Seattle's way.

Won the fourth quarter with a busted play on a bad snap by their center and also a turnover by AP. Vikings had the game and shut Seattle down. Vikings are relatively young, so they will be good for a few years with Zimmer.

Looks like the Rams are headed back to Los Angeles. The Chargers are looking into moving there as well now

[WPWells]

Glad this happened. STL needs to be a three-sport city, but the Rams weren't cutting it under the current ownership

Looking at the stats right now. Minnesota had 14 first downs to Seattle's 13.  Seattle outgained the Vikings 226 to 183.  Adrian Peterson had 45 yards on 23 carries.  Christine Michael ran for 70 yards on 21 carries.  Seattle was penalized 6 times for 65 yards and Minnesota only twice for 46 yards.

You can talk about the bad snap all you want, but that's Russell Wilson being Russell Wilson.  No other QB in the league makes the play, save maybe Aaron Rodgers.  We were driving on the drive as well, so it wouldn't be right to assume we wouldn't have scored anyway, but it is also no sure thing.  Yeah a forced turnover by Kam Chancellor, not a bad snap that was gifted to the Vikings on a punt like in the first quarter that gave the ball to Minnesota inside Seattle's 30 and they had to settle for a FG.  We can go back-and-forth like this all we want to, but it was an even ball game in terrible conditions and Seattle sneaked out a 10-9 win.  Main thing is Seattle scored a touchdown, Minnesota did not.  To say Minnesota shut Seattle down without acknowledging that Seattle also shut Minnesota down is omitting a big fact.

Should Seattle have won?  I don't know.  They had some luck at the end, but Minnesota had some gifts as well such as the bad punt snap and a questionable DPI call on their final drive.  It was a game that both teams could have won, I'll put it that way, but both teams can't win.  I do feel fortunate to be advancing.

That said, Minnesota has a heck of a defense and that's what kept them in the game, that and Blair Walsh.  You can say what you want about the final kick, but had someone told me he'd make 3-of-4 field goals in -degree weather, I would have said he had a heck of game.  But the first time they played they were missing two defensive starters and lost two more during the first quarter and you could tell they were difference makers.

Their offense though?  Yikes.  Peterson is great, but that's really about it.  Diggs had a nice year, but they need to let Teddy throw downfield more.  I think he has the potential to be a really dang QB in the league, but they aren't giving him the chance to be.  They have some other nice weapons, but maybe they will trust him more now.  He had a very nice game.

Aaron Rodgers just launched a Hail Mary, which was caught by Jeff Janis, to force overtime in Arizona on the last play of the fourth quarter.

[BigLion10]

Cards win!!

[WPWells]

What a game

[1-Adam-12]

Did I just see that?

I mean, ALL OF THAT??

Pinball, Hail Mary, Coin Flop, Hail Larry.

Take a bow Cards.  And Pack.  What a great show.

[Romeo]

Unbelievable game last night. The Cardinals coaches should be kissing Larry Fitzgerald's feet. He bailed them out after making some very questionable calls late in the game. Instead of running time off the clock, you throw an incomplete pass on second down essentially giving Aaron Rodgers an extra 40 seconds to work with. Then, you call an all out blitz on that last play leaving only four defensive backs to defend that hail mary.

[Lionheart88]

Did AZ have Paul Petrino calling plays down the stretch or something?  lol

[VHSCoach2]

Carolina with a 75-yard drive and a pick-six to go up 14-0 less than 4 minutes into the game.

[Redwolves8526]

Who ya got in SB 50? I'll take my Broncos by 6. I think Manning scores just enough to allow the defense to win them the game. This will be a fantastic matchup in my opinion. Can't wait!

[WPWells]

I've got Cam running wild

[dc24]

Defense will have to win the Broncos the game.  Manning is a shell of himself, but their defense is so good, but problem is that Carolina's is very good as well and they have a better offense.  Turnovers could be the big deciding factor because it might be the only way Denver can score.

Not meant as any disrespect towards Manning because he is playing with a lot of guys, but I watched a whole lot more of the Denver/NE game that I was anticipating and he missed at least five throws an above average QB in the league can make.  He did make one or two that only really good QB's make, but he missed a few too many.

Newton is prone to mistakes though, he will have a couple of throws a game sail on him, just have to hope it's to one of your defenders and doesn't find the grass.

All that said, I'm leaning towards Panthers winning, but closer than many expect.

Agree for the most part. I was satisfied with how much better he looked than during the regular season but he definitely missed at least 3 touchdowns. If he hits Latimer (who was wide open) in the back of the end zone with 5 minutes left in the game, it wouldn't have ever gotten close.

I think if Denver can put up at least 24 points with no turnovers, I think they win. If they give Cam a short field all night long, the Panthers probably take it home.

Colts owner Jim irsay said the colts will retire mannings jersey and build a statue of him in front of Lucas oil stadium.
