Strangely, despite the ease of the victory, that was probably the worst performance I've seen from Jameis Winston so far. He was still ridiculous on third downs, mind. Kid is a stud. What baffles me though, he doesn't wear his contacts whilst playing. If the cunt can't make out the sideline play calls properly, how the fuck does he read defenses and see what's happening down field (although, from a couple of the picks, maybe he doesn't...)
I kind of want to see them go up against Alabama in the national. They look pretty complete, all sides of the ball. I also want to see Oregon play Alabama though. They've been the two consistently good teams over the last five years, but the only time Oregon got to the national was the year Auburn beat Alabama. Be a shame if they never played each other in the big game, especially with Mariota and McCarron going pro next year. FSU will obviously be in the final four next year as a lot of key players will return..

Yeah that was pretty hilarious. He looked pretty solid after that early turnover though, I think he guided them up the ground for a TD in his next drive?
I'm being taken to the UCF game this Saturday. I think they're playing Houston or something. I know fuck all about either side, anything or anyone worth looking out for?

Should be a good game. Lots of offence, both score big and only have close defeats - Houston to BYU by a point and UCF to South Carolina by three. If UCF win, then they should win out their conference schedule and take the AAC BCS bowl place. If Houston win, then they'll have a showdown with Louisville in a couple of weeks (UCF have already beaten them, so if Houston beat UCF and Louisville beat Houston we'll have some fun and games).
UCF have been good fun this year. QB Brad Bortles will go pro. Has a nice arm, is big, accurate thrower, moves well scrambling. They have a power back, Storm Johnson, who can go through walls. They play Bortles in shotgun with one back and have a fuckton of receivers. Perriman, Worton, and Hall are all big, fast as fuck, and carry buckets.
Houston are interesting going forward. They lost their QB in week 2 to a concussion. It was like his fiftieth or something, and he retired. He was replaced by a true freshman, John O'Korn, and he has been on fire. 22 TDs to 4 INTs. Likes finding Deontay Greenberry. They'll hook up a lot.
Their defence is unexpectedly.effective too. Tumbleweed could get through them last year, but they lead the nation in turnovers this year. They average something like 5 turnovers a game. It's mad.
Both teams are performing better than expected this year - Louisville were expected to go unbeaten with Bridgewater making a Heisman run before he went top 10 in the draft. Houston probably more so as they didn't even make a bowl last year. New QB and new defensive.co-ordinator, and they're pitching it in the deep end. Reckon the line will be UCF by a score, maybe ten points, but this one is up for grabs.

So that's what a Packers back-up QB looks like.
I'm guessing Martin is gay ... and that's why it's going down like this.
Incognito was a dick at Nebraska. He was a dick for the thirteen seconds he was in Oregon and he was a dick at St Louis. Now he's a dick in Miami. It's not like there isn't a career long pattern. Shit, you can even watch the Dolphins on HardKnocks and see him being a dick. Even when he's not being a dick off the field, he's filthier than Suh on the field. Dolphins will cut him, and hopefully nobody will try to pick him up.
Hardly a surprise that Mike Pouncey was also involved. There's another fucking brain surgeon. He's been served a subpoena over the whole Hernandez affair, so he has troubles on multiple fronts.

NFC in incredibly tight though. Whoever wins the Bears-Lions game this weekend might have the opportunity to pull away from the Packers. The West is likely to send two teams to the playoffs, and the contenders in the other divisions have very similar records right now. Not a time to be falling behind.
QB stats these days are incredible. Manning has nearly 3000 yds by week 8, I remember when a 3500/4000 season was the business. 7 TDs a game twice this season already?
As a Bronco fan, great viewing, they can't win it though.
Are the Chiefs any good then or what?

The schedule the Chiefs had was very kind to them but fair fucks to them for scraping through some tight battles.
Defence is superb and in Alex Smith they have a proven quarter back who's relishing the task.
Can't see them being a force in the playoffs though but who knows.
Why do you think the Broncos can't win it?
I'd love to see Pats-Broncos Afc Championship game and that's how I see it playing out.
Colts,Bengals and Chiefs might be impressive now but they seem over reliant on certain facets of their game.

Yep it's a nightmare to call the Nfc winner.
Niners look like they are starting to hit top gear whilst the Seahawks will be tough to beat if they get home field advantage in the playoffs.
Carolina look like sleepers in the division but can they really go to the Superbowl this year?
What's your prediction for the NFC championship game?
I'm going with Niners-Saints for shits and giggles.
I just wonder if this will change the NFL ... CTE looks scary:

Niners and Saints will only meet if San Fran can overhaul the Seahawks or the wildcard team doesn't win the 3rd Div winner vs 2nd wildcard game (which I think could be the Packers as wildcard vs Lions/Bears div winners, probably meaning a Packers win). Otherwise, 49ers will take the first wildcard spot and probably smash the brains in of the winners of NFC East as 4th seeds (Cowboys?). If the Packers win as wildcards, they'll be lowest ranked so the Seahawks will get them as the number one seed, and the 49ers will go to New Orleans.
If the Bears win the NFC North as the 3rd seeds and beat the wildcard team (Lions or Packers or Panthers, but I reckon Packers), then they'll face the Saints and the Niners will meet Seattle, and you might get your Niners-Saints game then.
We have a lot of football before any of that could happen though.
Fuck that's a lot of permutations.
My bet on the Niners for the Superbowl doesn't look to healthy looking at that.
Either way it shakes down, they're going to have to beat the Saints and the Seahawks, and possibly overhaul the Seahawks AND beat them in the playoffs.
First week of December will be instructive and consequential though. Seahawks host the Saints and then go to Frisco. Those two games are massive, for all involved.

That doesn't sound all that promising, but there might be some decent college games in the area? Northwestern play Michigan that Saturday, that should be a pretty decent game.
NCAA Basketball just started too.
Bulls and Blackhawks have games at the United Center next weekend too.
It'd be worth it if you could throw snowballs at Cutler.
I hope Jerry can fire the GM, the head coach and the defensive coordinator.
we didn't lose. it was a fucking dresden like fire bombing.
