After the 6-6 Buffalo Bills predictably lost to the New England Patriots last Sunday, they lost more than the game. The Bills quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, suffered a contusion to his knee. It’s doubtful that Tyrod will play in today’s game. It he does play, Tyrod will be severely limited. And mobility is Tyrod’s chief asset. If the Bills start backup QB Nate Peterman, could Peterman repeat his five-interceptions in one half performance like in the LA Chargers game? The lowly Colts are only 3–9. The Bills are favored by 4 points, but this game could go either way. What’s going to happen to your favorite NFL team today?
Football, bah, humbug!
Bob, I think the Seahawks are a terrific team who has overcome serious problems to win!
What do you think? I doubt that firing the coach and GM and reinstalling Eli Manning as starting quarterback will change the Giants’ fortunes against the Cowboys today. This once marquee matchup has been switched from a 4:25 start to a lowly 1:00 because, well, who cares? Sad. I guess the only hope is for the cold weather to bother Dallas, but even though they are having a mediocre season, they are still way better than the Giants.
Jeff, both the Cowboys and Giants experienced a disappointing season.
The now 9-4 Saints will not be playing today because they played the Falcons this past Thursday night, losing in a game that saw some questionable play-calling on the part of head coach Sean Payton (going for a touchdown on 4th & goal, rather than an almost-guaranteed field goal that would have tied the game with seconds left) and some equally-questionable officiating. The saving grace was we woke up on Friday morning to a rare-for-southern-Louisiana snow storm and everyone was so excited about it that discussion of the Saints’ loss to our arch-rival “Dirty Birds” was rather muted…and, because school had been cancelled, I spent the day finishing my Christmas decorations.
Deb, love your Christmas card, family photo, and Holiday newsletter! We’re working on our Christmas cards this weekend!
I did the cards yesterday, Barbara will do the ones to her friends and family today.
Rick, the Bills are playing the Colts in blizzard conditions. Wait until you see the game highlights!
I was very disappointed in the Saints Thursday, I wanted them to beat Atlanta, both for them and to improve the Seahawks playoff chances.
Calling Big Orange!
It’s about 40 here and yesterday’s snow (about 3-4 inches) is melting.
Seahawks – Jags? Don’t know. Seems the Seahawks have been living a charmed life these last few weeks, and I’m not sure it can continue. Why is Bob so down on football?
Rick, Bob is in his Grinch Mode.
I saw the highlights of McCoy’s runs and the touchdown pass. Now that is football weather!
Jeff, I’ve been to Bills games with snow but nothing like today’s blizzard! The Bills were lucky to win against the plucky Colts!
The Giants held the Cowboys to 10-10 for much of the game before blowing it at the end,
Glad to see the Bills hang on for the win.
Jeff, the Giants need to draft a QB to take over for Eli Manning in a year or two.
Your reply to my statement was an complete non sequitur! Why am I down on football? Take a knee and think about it!
Bob, none of the NFL teams I watch are taking a knee anymore.
Is it just me or are the officials running the games these days? Seemingly at will, they can nullify any long play, any nice run, any touchdown. More penalties are being called all the time.
Rick, with instant replay fans can see all the Bad Calls by the refs.
