Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

Holy shit, the Browns are in the lead!

Two weeks of terrible football from my Bills. At least I made applesauce and roasted red pepper soup before the game.

Good game, @eileenrob! Congratulations!

Aw, thanks!  I was on the phone with my mom earlier and she said "dad is pacing around the living room I guess this is a big game for the Jets" and I was like "yeahh..." but in my head I actually thought "well if we lose at least OWK will be happy"

@OurWildKingdom FI and his buddy went to Cleveland Saturday night for the game.  He loved Cleveland and the stadium!  He thought the city and said it's fans were a lot like Detroit fans.

I've always wanted to go to Cleveland for a game and this makes me want to go even more. I've been to a number of away games and Lions fans are my favorite.

I'm sorry that everyone has to watch the Bears tonight. Maybe Lifetime is showing old Golden Girls reruns.

Did you see the dildo that a fan threw out onto the field during the game?!

Our stadium is gorgeous, I will say that. And we do have some of the most loyal fans in the NFL.

Any time any of you want to come to Cleveland, you're welcome!

Yes! I loved how the announcers were like, "Is that a flag? What is that? Oh. Oh, look how good at football Gronk is."

At least there was a little excitement on the field.

So our engagement pics were at Ford Field today and our tour guide was the Director of Ejections.  She has some stories.  We learned that Kenny Chesney concerts have the most ejections followed by Packers games.  

I'm rooting for the Bears tonight.  Two of the three competitors in my Survival Football league picked the Vikings, it's a long shot but worth it!

I need a job where I can get a fun title like that.

@kimmiinthemitten what a finish to that game!

Right?!  Only the Lions....heart attacks guaranteed every fourth quarter!

Way to go Lions.

Eagles played like... Well like Eagles play.  Always stressful in the 4th.

lyndausvi

I've got the Seahawks def on my team.  That Sherman missed call was BS.  He blatantly  was offsides and roughing the kicker.   

And now it's the longest in terms of time in history.  and now it's no good.   

BS.

BS.

But since the whistle was blown before the ball was snapped they can't make the call. Complete BS. That whole sequence was a joke.

then he got hurt and had to sit out a play.  Then the delay of game.  Then they missed the final kick.     It was a complete joke.

and now they all know they can go offsides, rough the kicker and not get a penalty.

Exactly. The precedent alone is dangerous. 

But seriously bad officiating, bad coaching, and I hate Pete Carroll and his complaints about how the Seahwaks never get any calls. Sherman is lucky that wasn't  an unsportsmanlike penalty. 

Also, can we stop Jimmy Graham at least once tonight?!

lyndausvi

Woohoo.  I made last minute roster changes that resulted in me scoring 196 points.  Blowing the other guy away and keeping my season long placement in the playoffs secure.

kimmiinthemitten

I'm having a great football week too!  

First, there was two of us left in the Survival Pool and both teams lost, so we get to split the pot.  Then, the Lions are tied for first in the NFC North (what?!).  And I won in one of my FFL's and could beat FI tonight depending on how the game goes.

charlotte989875

Bills win against Cincy. First W in a month. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it. 

lyndausvi

My eagles are losing... again.    I'm getting my butt kick on Fantasy.       


This is me right now

kimmiinthemitten

Our seats were awesome because a friend gave us an upgrade; but FI and I got boozy yesterday so the Lions weren't the only ones struggling the first half. 

But as the cast of Hamilton says, a wins a wins a wins a win. That is what they say right?

lyndausvi

The guy I'm planing is 10. well now 11-0.    He has AJ green and still kicked my ass.   I'm only 3rd, so not horrible in the league.   All of his picks were auto-draft because he forget it was draft day  

kimmiinthemitten

I forgot about this stellar move I made at the bar last night:  I picked up Rob Kelley (R. Kelley) of the Redskins off of the waiver wire while singing "I can fly."

It's a good thing I don't drink and trade!  

@lyndausvi I hate good auto draft people. Number 1 in one league and 2 in the other are auto drafters. Bastards. 

KeptInStitches

I'm so glad my Vikings won! Honestly, if they hadn't won yesterday, I was starting to look for when they would win again this year...

lyndausvi

@kimmiinthemitten     


That should make you happy this Thanksgiving.

kimmiinthemitten

@lyndausvi  the game was so much fun!  It was my first Thanksgiving game and won't be my last. The crowd was just electric. Those refs were awful but like I said last week:  a wins a wins a wins a win. As soon as the game was over the Lions released playoff tickets and we already have ours. FI is going nuts over the possibility of a home playoff game. It's only been 23 years. 

Good luck Sunday everyone else!

I am convinced when the Bills finally make the playoffs after 16 years there will be rioting in the streets in Buffalo. 

A must win against Jacksonville keeps the hope alive.  

lyndausvi

Sigh, Eagles lost.     At least I won my fantasy matchup.  Only by 3 points.  Against DH.  Ha, won both matchups against him.     I'm on to the playoffs.
