Official Week 16 Game Thread Sponsored By How Much I Hate Shitty G

[Robz4000]

Words can't describe it.

[lefty20]

Titans play calling is sus af.

[Robz4000]

Even with how dominant the Niners' defense has been tonight this feels like a close Titans win. Crappolo is that bad.

[FrostKing]

:lol Jimmy Montana

[Robz4000]

:lmao four straight 3rd and long conversions for the Titans

[lefty20]

Need Shitty G to keep ignoring Kittle in the 2nd half, tbh.

[Robz4000]

:lmao holy shit bench this asshole

[lefty20]

Good lord, I mean he's still allowed to pass other 49ers doe...

[Robz4000]

Never thought I'd hate a player more than Kraep but here we are.

[lefty20]

Muad'Deebo is a special breed man.

[lefty20]

Nice call, tbh.

[Arcadian]

Added Jeff Wilson last minute in fantasy. Got me 11.7 at the flex...I'll take it.

[Robz4000]

Nice call, tbh.

It's getting too easy to predict tbh. Niners will prolly sneak into the postseason but they're one-and-done with Crappolo and their horrendous secondary. Then again, wouldn't count out the possibility of losing to the Texans next week.

[lefty20]

Perfect start for the Browns. Would be nice if Rodgers were to lay an egg this game.


Edit: Of course they miss the PAT as I type this :lol

[GAustex]

Haters are Bear fan
Rodgers owns the Bears

[lefty20]

Haters are Bear fan
Rodgers owns the Bears

Of course, but I'm also facing him in the fantasy semis and need him to do me a solid.

But he's a dick, so I'm expecting 400 yrds and 6 TDs.

[lefty20]

Mayfield :depressed

[lefty20]

"Former mentor"... didn't they hate each other?

[Millennial_Messiah]

"Former mentor"... didn't they hate each other?

First half of Rodgers' career, yep. Especially the first three years where Rodgers felt he was good enough to start and they kept him on the bench for Favre for 3 years. But they officially made up around 2013/2014.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Dumbest challenge ever.

[lefty20]

:rollin

[lefty20]

Like I said 6 TDs inc, tbh.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Curious what kind of money Baker will demand in the offseason. At least Cleveland knows what they have before his next contract

[lefty20]

Looked like a catch to me, but I ain't complaining.

Still there are only 5 or so QBs hands down better than him. Just a mediocre ERA for passers.

:lmao maybe 5 that are worse

[GAustex]

Keep dicking around like this and it will bite GB ass

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Outside of those 3 dumb Baker INTs the Packers defense has sucked. Giving a 1st down on 3rd and 16 and a 30 yard run on 3rd and 10.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Adam's has to catch that.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Thanks goodness the Browns took the ball out of the hands of the RBs.

[GAustex]

As it should be

[lefty20]

That was a pretty good audition by Mayfield to replace Rodgers as the new GB QB. Man was hitting them green shirts all day long.

[Robz4000]

Mayfield has no business playing right now, whether his play is due to injury or just being a shit QB.

[GAustex]

Do not want

[lefty20]

That was some good trickery.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Fuck you up the ass with no lube, Baker Mayfield. Despite your team gaining 250 yards on the ground and being within a FG of winning the game... You throw not one, not two, not three, but FOUR INTs to none on the GB side and thus cost the Cowboys a shot at the Super Bowl this year. No way Dallas with their warm weather QB will have a snowball's chance in hell to win up there in the frozen tundra of January Lambeau.

Fucking choke on a cock Faker Mayfield. Hope you get a backup job next year and end up out of the league soon. Overdrafted untalented piece of trash.

[GAustex]

Sorry this is happening to you…
Not really

[Millennial_Messiah]

Sorry this is happening to you…

I will shoot myself in the mouth with my 9mm if the Cowboys lose to GB in the playoffs. It would be the third and final strike that would do me in.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Curious what kind of money Baker will demand in the offseason. At least Cleveland knows what they have before his next contract

Scam Newton Pats money, tbh. As the backup or some sort of bridge QB, though this coming draft class doesn't seem very good at QB


Mayfield has no business playing right now, whether his play is due to injury or just being a shit QB.

It's the latter. He just sucks and is a mental midget, tbh. The Browns would have been better off keeping Johnny Football. But fuck Stefanski too for going away from the running game completely when they were at midfield with over a minute left and all three timeouts. They could have easily gotten in field goal range and won the game just by running the ball.

[FrostKing]

Don't worry this won't occur because you'll be eliminated by 49ers

It's the Browns. Their team name literally means shit. Pretty sure they're doomed forever.

[Robz4000]

Honestly Dallas is the only team I can see the Niners beating in the first round.

[MultiTroll]

Congrats PackerRef.

[GAustex]

NFC right now goes through the hallowed grounds of the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol

It's the Browns. Their team name literally means shit. Pretty sure they're doomed forever.

What did the Steelers do in GB? The one time I wanted the Steelers to win.... 2011 Super Bowl... and they shit the bed. And this year, they lost 17-27, while the Browns lost 22-24 and were a couple first downs and a FG from outright winning the game and handing Smugface Rodgers his first loss at Lambeau this season.

Pittsburgh isn't going to make the playoffs; Browns aren't going to make the playoffs. Ergo, TJ Watt and Myles Garrett, who accumulated a lot of sacks early in the season but have come up small lately, will not win DPOY. Ergo, Micah Parsons will. :tu

[Millennial_Messiah]

Honestly Dallas is the only team I can see the Niners beating in the first round.

Dallas isn't losing in the first round. Arizona, the Rams and even the Bucs are more vulnerable.

If Dallas ends up with the 2 seed, they will get some crappy 9-8 opponent, not the 49ers.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Congrats PackerRef.

Yep. Big time rig job... but 4 INTs didn't help. Then again there was a blatant DH/DPI on the last play. Wouldn't have quite put them in field goal range but they would have been likely 1 more first down from icing the game and kicking a FG at the buzzer.

[GAustex]

If it’s and buts were candy and nuts

[Thanos]

:lmao could have had DK Metcalf or Deebo Samuel. AJ Brown was begging them to draft him.

Instead Bill takes N’Keal Harry :lmao

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bills receivers have dropped 3 TDS and it’s not even halftime

Davis Dropping Dimes Mills

Receivers suck.

LOL Why do I keep starting this pussy Miles Sanders? Hurt again.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Chargers with their season on the line choking against Davis Mills and the Houston Texans.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Big time heavy snow bowl game @ the frozen tundra of Seattle, but between two bad teams.

[Millennial_Messiah]

shitty Buffalo beat the Patriots in NE? wow.

[Borosai]

Do you love Josh Allen yet? Yes, you do.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dude is a f’ing animal. McKenzie came out of nowhere with that stat line but the rush D and pass rush still worry me.

Great win though, felt like 2020 for the first time

[Millennial_Messiah]

KC looks unbeatable imo. Their early season slump was bad but they are firing on all cylinders both sides of the ball now. They have the best athlete currently in sports as their QB, a newly found elite defense and have to be SB favorites at this point.

Oh look, the best team in football is no longer the best team because they lost an average player at the most replaceable position in the sport.

CEH was waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy overdrafted, I said it at the time and I'll say it again. They should have drafted OL at the time, or literally any other position

[DAF86]

Right on cue, CEH breaks his collar bone.

Meh. No harm done. In fact, it might be better for KC. Williams is a much better RB.

[DeadlyDynasty]

That playcall:lmao

[Millennial_Messiah]

That playcall:lmao

Cooper wasn't expecting it. Looked like Cedrick Wilson was just winging it. He does that sometimes. It was third down so not much to lose except field position.

Looks like the Redskins are going to win the game. Usually when the Cowboys start first with the ball if they don't score points they lose the game. Also Prescott suffered 2 sacks on the opening drive. No pass protection.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Lol. Why the fuck would anyone throw at Trevon Diggs? :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dak "Aaron Rodgers" Prescott on those free plays tonight.

I like what I'm seeing....gotta establish the run....gotta establish the run......
































































build up a 20 point lead, only to air it out and blow it in the second half....that's Dallas Football Cowboys football....and I thought we did that tonight....

[DeadlyDynasty]

Oh boy! Mandingo fight on the Washington sideline!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Quarterback sack MFP
Quarterback sack Jayron Kearse
INT for Diggs
Pick Six and a sack for DeMarcus Lawrence
Zeke with 2 TDs
Dak with 2 TDs

And the first half isn't even over yet

What a beautiful night :toast

35-7 bitches.

FTR :toast

[Mark Celibate]

McBot rewarding his fellow fatty tbh

[DAF86]

I fail to see the penalty on that hit.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Now the Redskins are getting dirty. Sore ass fucking losers. Dirty team with no name, rapist owner and a sewer water infested stadium. Go figure.

[Mark Celibate]

now these f@gs are actually getting my hopes up again only to choke in the Divisional per par etc

[Millennial_Messiah]

42-7 AT HALFTIME bitches. Now that's the Cowboys team I expect to see on a regular basis. :D

:cry :cry :cry I Love This Team :cry :cry :cry

[Millennial_Messiah]

Al Michaels with the subtle jab at Biden and Pelosi. :lmao everything working tonight.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Bryan Anger silently the best punter in the NFL.

[Millennial_Messiah]

lol..... offense defense and special teams all scoring touchdowns..... this team is uber special

[Millennial_Messiah]

TEAM FIFTY BURGER!!!!!!!!! 56-7. Most points by an NFL team this season. Cowboys are an offensive juggernaut, a defensive juggernaut, and a special teams juggernaut. The only team that can hope to beat the Cowboys is Green Bay if it's at Lambeau. Other than that, the Cowboys will dominate and win the Super Bowl.

[GAustex]

Premature ejaculation

[Millennial_Messiah]

Best win I have ever watched. Cowboys will win the Super Bowl as long as they don't have to play @ Northeast Wisconsin in the playoffs.

Minnesota needs to win... next week.... but unlikely.

otherwise the Rams and Bucs need to both win out and we win out. Because that would put the Bucs at the #4 seed because all of their losses are to the NFC. The Bucs are the one team that can and will go to Lambeau and win in that freeze bowl in January and beat Rodgers. We know the Rams can't, we know Arizona can't, and sadly we know the Cowboys can't either because Dak Prescott is a warm weather quarterback. But Brady and the Bucs can go to Lambeau and win in the playoffs. That's really the Cowboys' only chance. Win out, Bucs and Rams win out, get the #2 seed, host some lousy #7 seed, host the Rams in the divisional, then host the Bucs for the NFC title game assuming the Bucs knock off GB at GB.

If the Cowboys have to go to Green Bay in January... the final score will be something like 24-9 and not in Dallas's favor.

Dallas needs to have a game like this next week against Arizona to make me a believer. Don't get me wrong, they have a lot of wins this year that would have been "gotta tip your cap" type losses in previous Bot years especially on the road (@LAC, @New England, @ Minnesota)

But they haven't had this kind of dominating performance against a quality team yet. Either the defense looks good, but the offense sloppy (Kansas City) or vice versa (Raiders). Or they still make a bunch of silly mistakes keeping the other team in the game (New England) They've shown they can bully weak NFCE opponents in Jerry World throughout the Dak era. Even the Bot Cowboys looked like the Joe Montana 49ers against NFCE bottom feeders at times. Until they do that, I don't see them having a leg up against the Bucs, Rams, or Cardinals

[Neo.]

this dallas team has a different feel to them than some of the past good regular season teams they have had. many of those teams had 3-4 really good players on each side of the ball, while basically the rest of the team was mediocre to trash, with major weaknesses that were exploited come playoffs

but this team seems more complete and deep overall. the broncos and raiders games were dumb losses, but truth is basically all top tier teams have a couple dumb losses every year.

the only teams in the NFC id feel uncomfortable facing in their shoes is the bucs and cardinals, mainly because of the threat of their QBs. green bay just doesnt seem that complete to me this year, but i could be wrong

Arizona doesn't scare me at all. They did their typical early season front running and late season choke job. Their defense is suspect and Kyler Murray is as erratic as anyone. If you contain his running he isn't scary at all. Tampa of course has the GOAT but they also have some major injuries. GB is absolutely a complete team as they have a very difficult defense to score on and they have the mighty Aaron Rodgers, AND the refs, we absolutely should be afraid of them above all else. GB is an absolute nightmare especially if we have to play them in their building since they always have the refs firmly on their side there.

[Robz4000]

At least he's younger tbh. Regardless they aren't going far in the postseason with either.

As cliche as it sounds, the only real difference with this team and teams of the past are the turnovers. Which is still a huge difference, Dallas teams going all the way back to the Wade Phillips years have typically been soft coverage, bend but dont break types that cant ever get off the field in big moments. Atleast with this team you know they can turn the tide any second. However, they've been beating up on bad offenses who have been playing dumb football. I love Diggs, but most of his picks seem to come off of lame duck throws that are just up for grabs. I doubt that will continue when they play smarter quarterbacks.

As far as the offense, nothing has really changed IMO. Talented overall, but up and down as usual especially on the road. The most concerning thing to me is how they completely fall apart whenever a starter gets hurt. That was a staple under The Bot's tenure tbh

1. Tyron Smith all pro LT was out yesterday and they scored 56 points.

2. The 2014 12-4 Cowboys did force 34 turnovers, good for 2nd in the NFL that year behind Houston. This year they have 33, good for first in the league, with a couple games left

But most of your point stands

[Millennial_Messiah]

What Brian Flores has done in Miami is nothing short of impressive, tbh. 1-7 to 8-7, seriously? With that lousy roster?

rofl seriously? Had no idea the 2014 team had that many turnovers. I watched most of the games that year and don’t remember anybody accumulating a lot of interceptions since we played the soft Marinelli defense

a lot of lucky tip picks and random balls fell into the hands of Bruce Carter for some reason.

Dallas had 31 that year, my bad, the league-leading Texans had the 34. Still Dallas was second place:

I also feel dak is more capable of carrying the team, whereas his first few years he was more of a game manager. I think that's a huge difference that can pay dividends in the playoffs when other weaknesses are exploited. hopefully he can be healthy though.

[Arcadian]

Pittsburgh isn't going to make the playoffs; Browns aren't going to make the playoffs.
Yeah, I know that. But the Browns actually thought they were making some kind of franchise comeback, so it's still funnier when they fail. :lol

There's something about him mentally that still makes me uncomfortable. I think it's the fact that he starts out slow against good teams especially on the road and oftentimes he'll lead a valiant comeback but too little too late. Best example of this was their 2016 playoff game against GB. It was a disaster in the first half but he looked like a completely different player in the second half leading them all the way back and in position to win the game. Other times, like against Kansas City and others throughout his career, he gets rattled early and never gets going at all. Or if it's obvious a team has them schemed out, he gets the 'deer in the headlights' look and starts missing easy throws. It seems mental to me, because he'll dink and dunk and miss wide open throws he'll normally make but when there's not as much pressure he'll make pretty good throws. IMO, that's what I sense from him from watching him all these years. He gets really tentative in big games until they get behind and he has to make a play. If the running game gets going though, his confidence seems to grow with it which is what happened his rookie year and 2018.

This was different than Romo who was a gunslinger from the opening kickoff which obviously backfired at times. The 2008 divisional loss to the Giants I recall he took a few big sacks instead of throwing it away in the 4th quarter which was one of the many reasons they lost.
