Fun football observations from week 15, much of which spent in my local ER, where it appears many NFC teams deserved to be:
- Bears ownership decided to reprogram Matt Nagy's brain with Papa Bear Halas playcalling to great result. For those of you who held onto Montgomery for your fantasy playoff run, congratulations.
- Oh, and the field mic delay didn't work all game in the Bears-Vikings game. This was definitely a PG-13 game, rated for language.
- Which, if you were listening, you got to hear Justin Jefferson curse out Kirk Cousins. It's on Yahoo Sports and other places if you're interested. Oh, and Jefferson is really, really good.
- Mahomes and Rodgers have been superlative, but if I were voting for MVP, it'd be Derrick Henry. You can find his weekly brutal stiff arm of a hapless Lion DB on a lot of sites, but the play that blew my mind was far more ordinary - fairly early, gets a handoff, left guard whiffs on a block. No problem. Henry simply runs through a 300+ lb DL and needs to be tackled by about five people for an ordinary four yard gain. I mean, that's no lightweight DB he ran through, it was a giant defensive tackle. And then it took half the Lion defense to bring him down.
- Bevell won't sniff a HC job, but the Lions played hard for him against a much more talented Titans team.
- The Packers won't get out of round 1 of the playoffs until they figure out how to have more than a great half.
- It'll be interesting to see if the Panthers take a QB in the first round.
- The Bills won't need a QB for, like, ten years or more.
- It's not that the Patriots were knocked out of the playoffs, but that Miami simply beat the crap out of them that amazed me. Ahmed and Brieda for 35 carries and over 200 yards? Wow.
- Proving the adage that if you don't come ready to play in the NFL, the Rams humiliate themselves to a level I haven't seen in years.
- Cam Jordan, come on down for "Stupid Play of the Week" award.
- The Chiefs scored 32, and the Saints defense played really well. But especially with Edwards-Helaire out, I suspect the Chiefs will see a lot of the style of defense the Saints played against them.
- Baker Mayfield threw some absolute laser beams against the Giants.I'm just here for the baseball.

madducks post on 12-8-20: "There's a reason why only one team in NFL history has had a perfect season. Part of me is relieved that the Steelers lost a game before the playoffs start. Now the pressure of remaining undefeated is gone."
(I had also gotten a "lol" and a "Terrible Towel" reply weeks ago when I called the Steelers "paper tigers.")
if the Steelers can lose two more, they are a lock for the Lombardi Trophy!

The Steelers must think that they have five bye weeks before they begin the playoffs. Good thing these last few games are meaningless. Unless you're a betting man. Steelers fans learned a long time ago to never bet on the Steelers.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

to be fair, they HAVE clinched a playoff spot.
and if they finish 11-5 and have a nice line in Round 1 of the "you can't kill me, I'm already dead" phase, I'll take a look.
great coach, and even the leftovers of the banged-up D and rotting corpse of Big Ben are dangerous.
11-0? total imposters
