2016 NFL Week 13

[Shadowlight]

I watched the game last night for one reason: white wide receivers. Beasley did not factor in but Thielen had a decent game but a costly fumble. Still the Vikes were going to tie it ( and Thielen had a couple of key catches on the final drive) with a two point try but the refs blew it when they missed Bradford getting hit in the head. Bad job by the refs. Vikings played well enough to win. Cowboys LB Sean Lee is one heck of a football player though.
As this blah disappointing season trudges forward the most exciting thing to happen are the nosedive TV ratings. And now with Gronk shelved for the rest of the season we could be staring at a Seattle vs Oakland Super Bowl and I would guess the TV ratings would suffer. Man talk about a depressing match up. For all this talk about the growing diversity in so many different spheres in modern life the make up of major sports teams are heading in the opposite direction and becoming less and less diverse. And no one dares talk about that trend!!
Although you could bet the house if somehow magically an NFL team made up mostly of whites appears on the scene ( what am I dreaming) the ******* whining about lack of black representation would kick into full gear.

Lol Seattle scored 5 points last week Against Tampa, not buying their Super Bowl hype one bit. In fact I think they will struggle again this versus Carolina and record their4th loss of the season. Oakland is good but my $$ is still on Tom Brady and his white skill players outdueling the Young Derek Carr and his homies in AFC Championship game, if that were to happen.

 

[celticdb15]

NFC North is still wide open with Detroit of all team's leading things at 7-4. Vikings just fell to 6-6. Packers should easily handle the Texans this weekend bringing them to .500 and 6-6 on the year.

Chicago is bottom feeder this year, they're going to cut ties with Cutler and every mock draft I've seen has them picking either Kizer, Watson, or Kaaya. If they elect to go this route, they are going to be a very bad team for a long time and they'll deserve it.

Minnesota fielded that rarity of rarity last night, a majority White starting lineup. Robison, Greenway, Sendejo and Harrison on defense, and 8 on offense including four on their makeshift offensive line. Their defense is good, but their offense is bad, dink and dunk with no running game. The line is inexperienced and the one sumo on it, Clemmings, was atrocious last night. Crissie kept pointing it out, but also with the obligatory claims of what a "wonderful athlete" he is. If he's such a wonderful athlete then why does he suck so bad at the fundamentals of his position?

The Vikings should have won the game, but Bradford is never going to be a top tier quarterback and there were too many mistakes to overcome, especially by Clemmings. The line was definitely opening up some decent holes for the running game, but while McKinnon has speed he's too slow mentally to anticipate his blocks.

And lolol at Treadwell, who was promoted as this year's "most NFL ready" wide receiver. There should be an awards show each year devoted to ridiculing the scouts and draft "gurus." Treadwell's slowness afoot was supposed to be offset by his craftiness and polish. Meantime the boy can't even run a five yard route without screwing up.

Lol Seattle scored 5 points last week Against Tampa, not buying their Super Bowl hype one bit.. Derek Carr

I was looking at NFL's official site today (12/2/16). In their MVP poll they had Wilson listed as a poll option, but no Carr. Wilson is averaging about 1 TD pass a game, and Carr (in my opinion) is carrying the entire Oakland franchise right now. Carr doesn't have a stout defense to lean on. Wilson's good, but it's surreal that Wilson is viewed as more valuable to his team than Carr.
5 points, c'mon.. that's a Mariners score.

If you use white WR's as the measuring point for teams to root for to make it to the Super Bowl here is how I would rank it.
Tier one---Pats and Packers
Tier two---Cowboys and Vikings
Tier three --Broncos, Panthers, Saints, Bucs, Bengals and Chiefs
Tier three I am hedging. I am hoping and or guessing that Jordan Taylor starts to play a bigger role for the Broncos and since the pickings are slim I am adding field stretching TE's Kelce, Olsen, Eifert and Fleener. Not to mention Alex Erickson the main punt and kick returner for Cincy. The Saints are a stretch but Fleener just barely gets them over the line. Humphries is not a main cog at all but at least he is a wide out. In other words I am not rooting for them per say but they are a better option than the teams I list below.
A tier one match up is by far the best but I could live with tier two. Teams I pray do not make it include the snake like Seahawks, the black hole Raiders, Steelers, Giants, Cards, Lions, Dolphins, Bills and Titans.
Of course as you go down the line I will factor in defensive players. The Redskins offense is pure caste but they play a few white guys on D so I will give them some slack but all told I would prefer the top tier teams. It won't happen because our dreams NEVER come true but imagine if Jeff Janis suddenly becomes a factor along with Jordy getting his deep stuff back along with Edelman and Hogan finishing off the season strong and these two teams meet up in the big one? Now THAT would be a Super Bowl!!!!

Looking forward to the Seattle and Carolina matchup. Not to watch it, but just to enjoy either team losing. It's a win for us at CF regardless.

Tier three- Chiefs

Chiefs are looking legit to me.. I never bet/root against the Pats in the AFC.. but KC Defense is stout.
And I believe if Foles takes over as the starting QB, the vertical advantage he gives Kansas City, over Smith, could make KC the best team in the AFC. I find it hard to believe Reid reunited with Foles, just for a back-up QB job (?)

Semian is out so Lynch get's the start for Denver.

Burkhead SHOULD get 10-15 touches vs. Philly.

The late game is Seattle vs. Carolina - no thanks! Should be a ratings dud.

Barkley may be able to exact some revenge on Chip Kelly today. I hope Braverman plays a ton. He should be targeted frequently this week after Bears WRs had 10 DROPS last week.

 

[Leonardfan]

Idiotic WR for the Bengals runs into Burkhead in the backfield.

Burkhead's first handoff the ass wideout runs into him instead of blocking.

 

[Thrashen]

Edelman, Amendola, and Hogan heavily involved, with Hogan scoring this brilliant TD...

The Rams' all-negro defense could get thoroughly humiliated today.

 

[MrPoon]

Burkhead looks so much better than the starting rb. Night and day.

 

[Leonardfan]

Barkley just led the Bears down for the go ahead score before half time

 

[Don Wassall]

Ripkowski getting carries for GB. James Starks may have been injured.

Burkhead and Ripkowski both toting the ball a bit. Woohoo!

 

[Leonardfan]

Bears wr drops a perfect pass from Barkley

 

[Don Wassall]

Weddle with an interception and 53 yard return

 

[celticdb15]

Dean Lowery with a sack and batted a pass! GB needs to unleash him! Much better than wasted 1st rd pick Kenny Clark outta UCLA .

 

[Leonardfan]

Bortles has been a huge disappointment. It's not all his fault, the team around him isn't great but I was hoping for better things. I hope he gets one more year under a coach that is a little more competent than Bradley.

 

[Leonardfan]

Barkley making some great throws in the snow. He is keeping his career alive, I wish him a strong end to the season.

 

[icsept]

Zach Zenner is in with an 8 yard run. Washington was carted off with an injury.

 

[Leonardfan]

Dean Lowery with a sack and batted a pass! GB needs to unleash him! Much better than wasted 1st rd pick Kenny Clark outta UCLA .

I am pulling for Houston. The Packers have been a huge disappointment to me this year with personnel decisions.

 

[Leonardfan]

Another drop by Bellamy - amazing that bum is still on a roster

 

[Leonardfan]

Krapernick looks like ****. I heard he will not be back in San Fran next year.

 

[MrPoon]

So Hill has 19 carries for 26 yards....Burkhead has 6 for 27 and looks great...yet is on the bench most of the game.
