**OFFICIAL Week 13 Game Thread

[Raven]

that's better.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Viqueens suck more ass than Dwight Howard

[Millennial_Messiah]

Sherrels is in at CB? I've never seen him on defense. He must be like the 6th or 7th option.

yeah, the 'queens are almost as depleted as the Eagles in the secondary

[Spurtacular]

Vikes should've picked up Levean Bell; he knows how to let the play develop. Although, Murray and Cook are generally good.

[Will Hunting]

anyone claiming the refs conspire to help the Patriots win, that ball spot was re ed

[Spurtacular]

Thielen telling Belicek to off.

Yea, the Pats got one arguable (non-reversed) call against them when up 14 at home is proof of that. Stop.

as if the burden is on me to prove the non-existence of a conspiracy

[Spurtacular]

Pats doubling Thielen all game cos they know Cousins can't pick 'em apart. Sad.

Burden or no, at your logic. Not uncommon from the pat fanboys though, tbh. Mono does that a lot too.

[Spurtacular]

Cousins taking a second and a half to hit Thielen out of the break and then hoping Treadwell can make a huge gain on a slant route. This is why I was scoffing at the Cousins outplayed Rodgers headlines last week. If we had Rodgers we'd be getting fit for our rings now.

now you’re resorting to an ad hominem

Why would the refs call that against New England if there’s a conspiracy for the refs to favor them?

Agreed completely, the Avante-Esk logic of simply looking at stats and saying “player x outplayed player y” is re ed, especially when it’s comparing game manager types like Cousins to someone like Rodgers.

That would be a great argument if there was a conspiracy that no bad call is ever made against the Pats.

[Spurtacular]

Robinson had a legit chance to pull that one down; shame we didn't get it.

[Will Hunting]

Mike McCarthy fired

Mike McCarthy fired

[Spurtacular]

We could've used this one to ultimately win the division; but the equation remains the same: we win one of the two on the road against NE/SEA and we're in good shape.

[Will Hunting]

So is there a conspiracy for the refs to help the Pats in any way?

I think it's in the league's interest for the Pats to be successful; and the league has put with a lot of stuff / given them a lot of favorable treatment. I get that you want to use a loaded word like conspiracy to make it all sound ever so crazy.

[Silver&Black]

Bill belicheat to green bay confirmed.

A conspiracy is a secret agreement between a group of two or more people to commit an illegal or harmful act. Nothing more, nothing less. There’s nothing loaded about the word, if you think a conspiracy exists then just say so.

Why do announcers always sugarcoat coaches getting fired with lines like “It won’t be long before his phone is ringing!” McCarthy has been a ty coach for years who’s largely thrown away the career of a generational talent at QB, he’s not some sought after guru who teams are fawning over.
