    The postponed Raiders Browns game means NFL films. I'm watching the story of the Vermeil Warner Rams. A washed out coach, a joke franchise and an arena league QB win the SB, one of the great Cinderella/ redemption stories in the last 20 or 30 years

      @canefan there's a movie coming out this month called American Underdog about this very story. Anna Paquin playing Warner's wife and Dennis Quaid playing Dick Vermeil.

        I'm getting dusty just thinking about it. Vermeil pushes the underperforming team to breaking point, Warner only gets his shot when the QB they bought in is lost for the season. Life becomes art, you can't write better fiction

                Huge win for the Colts playoff hopes.

                Unless something crazy happens I think after this game Wentz will end up playing 75% of Colts snaps this season - meaning Eagles will get a first round pick for Wentz.

                      Kliff Kingsbury is now 5-8 in December and 0-4 in games that would clinch a playoff spot.

                        The Lions have a receiver named

                        Amon-Ra St Brown

                        Best. Name. Ever.

                          His brother plays for the Packers - Equanimious St Brown.

                          Their father thought they'd stand out more in pro sport if they had distinctive names. Can't say he's wrong.

                              Scary injury to Teddy Bridgewater.

                              I know it's talked about a lot in rugby but the injuries in NFL seem to get worse and worse with these athletes bigger and faster. The collisions are insane with players flying in at all sorts of angles with no regard for their bodies. I'd like to see the stats because it feels like injuries are rising despite the rules changing to protect against it.

                                it's been said a heap, but the game would be safer without the pads

                                    The Saints have shown the formula to beat Brady. Have excellent shutdown corners that stop him from throwing quick passes and an elite front four that can produce pressure without having to blitz.

                                    I know the bucs had some injuries but that Saints pass defence is elite.

                                      Cooper Kupp has been unreal this season.

                                      Look at his numbers for the season so far:

                                      122 receptions
                                      1,625 receiving yards
                                      14 TD

                                      And still 3 games left in the season.

                                          AFC is a shitfight

                                          Every single division is up for grabs. In 2 i think every team can win and every team can come last, and in the other 2 it's between 3 teams

                                          NFC a bit more straight forward for the winners, but a few teams in contention for WC spots.

                                          Best season ever?
