Lions bumblefucked their way to a victory today. And are technically one of the nine undefeated teams left after two weeks.

Bills have a perfect season at MetLife stadium.

If the Bill go .500 for the rest of the way, they can make the playoffs.

Obviously, it’s early but Pats and Chiefs for sure. If the Ravens keep it up, that’s three.
South is up for grabs, but I’d have to guess Texans. Just based on how they held up against the Saints even though they lost.
Can the Bills best the Steelers, Colts, Chargers, etc?
I’m optimistic.

The Bears got away with one. Football Karma will see to it that they lose in similar fashion when the chips are down late in the season.

Not a big fan of Flacco by any stretch, but that last drive and the following 2 pt conversion to take the lead with 30 seconds left was awesome.
They shoulda won that one.

And the fact that there were 4 other games that were decided by two points or less made me feel slightly better about the Lions win. Not much, but slightly. I guess it’s enough to play slightly less shitty than your opponents for a win. The Chargers gave them that game.

One of the talking heads on sports talk radio this morning said that Baker Mayfield is what Johnny Manziel would have been if he wasn't an alcoholic. Mayfield has played 16 NFL games and only has 1 win over a team with a winning record.

But he tries, bless his heart.
All those penalties are seriously hampering them.

Do you think if Brady/Belichick pull off a perfect season, they both retire and walk off into the sunset together with that as their legacy? I know they both say they have a few more years in them, but how could you top that?

Going into the Rams-Browns game, my fantasy football team was down by 5. I had Cooper Kupp, and my opponent had Odell Beckham. I didn't watch most of the game, but turned it on for the Browns' final drive. It made me happy that they didn't throw the ball once to Beckham, and I got the win.

If the Pats pulled off a perfect season, I don't think it would mean Brady/Belichick would necessarily retire. I want them to retire, but I think we're stuck with them for a couple more years.

My favorite part about the whole Antonio Brown thing is that he will be dead cap hits of $5.5M in 2019 & $4.5M in 2020 for the Patriots.

I’m not even mad about that loss. Sure, there were a couple of shit plays/calls that would’ve changed the outcome, but the Lions hung in there all the way against arguably the number two team in the League. Everyone thought they’d be 1-3/0-4 at this point in the season.

[Diabolical]

I still say Fuck the Lions.

[Tom Foolery]

I like how everybody has been talking about the Dolphins being the shittiest team and it being a foregone conclusion they’d wrap up this season with the #1 draft pick next year, and the Bengals are over here going “Now hold on just a minute...”

[Ran]

You're right. The Bengals are so shitty, people forgot about them.

[Ran]

Instead of watching a specific game today, I just have the NFL Network on in the background while I do other stuff. Whenever they switch to highlights from the Bears game, it throws me off because they don't look right wearing orange jerseys.

Man, Chicago hates kickers. Or kickers hate Chicago.

What a lovely Thanksgiving gift from the Bills.
