NFL thread. Because I feel so lost without one!

A blah-rainy-Sunday win in overtime over the Ravens. Best blah-rainy-Sunday ever.

It was, but I wasn't caring about the results when RGIII got hurt. I just wanted them to take him out of the game. It is apparently a mild LDL sprain on the same leg that he tore his ACL in 2009, but the ACL is just fine. He is not ruled out for Sunday, but he is day to day. His dad says he is planning on playing Sunday.

It's been a rough season for you, hasn't it?

The Ravens seem to be in a downward spiral.

The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with something much worse than losing a game. One of their practice squad members (Jerry Brown) was killed in a car crash because his teammate (Josh Brent)who was driving was drunk. When will common sense kick in and these players call a cab instead of try driving while intoxicated? My sympathy to the family of the player who died. I am still having difficulty feeling sympathy for Brent, but I really should.

As far as I understand it, there are resources these players could take advantage of to get themselves home. They wouldn't even have to call a cab.

Both Brent and Brown were teammates at my university here -- where Brent had a DUI conviction in 2009 that resulted in him spending 60 days in jail. One would hope that something like that would make an impression and that partying/drinking behavior (wrt driving) would change. Apparently not. Very sad for Jeryy Brown's family -- I believe that he was about to become a father, too.

Oh man, second time?

Whatever the Redskins are drinking these days, I'll have some.

Yeah. I'm a Broncos fan but I was expecting a much closer game.

ETA: Mila Take comfort in the fact that at least you aren't a Lions fan. They're getting whomped by the Cardinals.

The disgrace of the season happened today at the Cowboys/Steelers game in Dallas today. That tool Jerry Jones let that <alleged> drunk driving player of their's Josh Brent, who's suspended from the team, hang around the sidelines at the game. Supposedly the victim's mother asked Jerry Jones for some forgiveness to Brent, so that's why he was allowed on the sidelines. This is an OUTRAGE. There is no doubt what happened here, he's guilty, he killed a teammate and friend and he will be going to jail for a long time. Yet Jones doesn't see the message he's sending to the team and the world? Kill someone and you can still hang around the team? WTH?

We've been a Matt Ryan fan since he was with BC.

Also for my boy Peyton! What a year he is having to show all the doubters!

But now my Patriots are making me very nervous. It is going to be a long night....

The Lions are embarrassing. At least the Bills lost to a good team that's smoking hot at the moment.

It looked like the Patriots were going to take to over time for a minute there. Tom Brady's having a tough night though.

[PRlady]

I haven't been this nervous about a football game in about 15 years. Go, 'Skins!

[milanessa]

Might've cost us a couple of picks but, damn, a win is a win and the Bills need any one they can get.

Go 'Skins!

Aw. One of my dear friends is a Bills fan, it's been a hard year(s). 7-7 at the two minute warning, damn it, I needed a blowout so as not to have to stay up half the night.

RG THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
If it can't be my Gmen winning NFC East, then happy it's the Redskins

[skipaway]

'Skins.

[jenny12]

Wow! RGIII, Russell Wilson, and Andrew Luck all lead their teams to the playoffs! Amazing rookie class! Love 'em all, but cheering for RGIII and the Skins since he's my boyfriend .
