and thanks to the redskins passing up another field goal* to go fail 4th down, the rams make it 2 straight shutouts
*at least it's more understandable this time. It's a shorter 4th down, and a long field goal that would just hold the game up longer for no reason (doing the kickoff would take time), and their coach wants to see another play out of rg3

Solid game overall but there were a lot of dumb penalties that hurt us. I think we gave up something like 130yds worth of penalties ffs.
Joique Bell is gonna put Bush out of a job if he keeps this up. That tipped pass TD was just ridiculous
Omfg I hate it when I'm right >.<
Steps Niners should take (IMO):
1. Keep Harbaugh. Best coach the Niners have had in a long time. It would be extremely stupid to let him walk unless he decides to leave after getting fed up with management's political BS, in which case I don't blame him
2. Fire Baalke. He gets a lot of credit he doesn't fucking deserve, the GM before him made the draft choices that set up the team, not him. Not to mention his daughter is a dumb bitch when it comes to twitter
3. Draft a new QB and force competition for Crap-ernik to either improve or get replaced. Heaven knows we need a better backup than Gabbert at any rate
Honestly even if they magically win out, they're probably going to miss the playoffs due to a crowded 10-6 field and a putrid NFC South team getting a spot. 8-8 is more likely at this rate anyways, which isn't great for draft position, but they still have plenty of picks to reload.

I don't understand your team, but I'm not complaining about their win one bit.
Is there even a WR on the roster?
As a Patriots fan that's been extremely critical of Bill Belichick's personnel moves over the last few years (think I posted a soliloquy about how bad hes been as a GM a few months back)
Belichick Should easily win executive of the Year.
Every Pickup hes made this season is contributing in a big way.

i literally am choking back tears atm
is there any way the nfl can force snyder to sell
some kind of hidden don sterling clause or something where we change the name in exchange for getting a real owner and not a limp-dicked used car salesman
because literally no matter what we do, there's no hope as long as snyder is in charge and there's nothing anyone can do about save the NFL literally stripping the team away from him

Is there any team it would be worse to be a fan of right now than the Redskins? Most teams have at least a glimmer of hope. Carr looks pretty good in Oakland, it looks like the bums running the Jets are going to get fired, and at least the Titans and Jaguars don't have an owner with a man crush on a lousy quarterback. Even the Browns have been competent this year. Although the Jets, Titans, and Jaguars don't really seem to be going in the right direction, at least they don't have the asshole that is Dan Snyder running their franchise into the ground.
I couldn't decide whether I thought the game would be a close one or a blowout... turns out it was both! Who'd have guessed?
My greatest fear is the Falcons making the playoffs, losing to the 12-4 Seahawks, retaining Mike Smith, and ending up with the ~22nd draft pick instead of a top 10 pick like the Saints... good to know they can still play hard, at least.
I would be very surprised if anyone is capable of traveling to Green Bay or New England in January and stopping an inevitable Packers/Patriots Super Bowl... maybe the Seahawks match up well enough against Green Bay to at least slow down Rodgers, but I really don't see it happening this year.

Eh, I think Mettenberger can play. So it LOOKS like you have a QB. And it's always great to get that QB in the 5th round. I dunno. The Titans have been mediocre to bad but they're not a TMZ-style national embarrassment.

Even pendulums swing both ways
The jags may show the most hope of any of these hapless teams. On a team beaten down by injuries, the defense has played great when their offense gives them a chance to show it. The defense is middle of the road statistically, but are 2nd in red zone defense and know how to beat down good offenses. The jags are some offensive success away from a 7-6 record, no exaggeration, if you look at the games they had their shots in. Philly (17-0 at half, swarming defense can't get off the field), Pitt (trailing 10-9, collect TO, bortles throws pick 6), Tennessee (GW fg attempt blocked), Cincy (in rz trailing by 3, bortles throws pick, cin rb takes a run 60 yds), stretching, Mia (were dominating in first half but 2 pick sixes and another redzone giveaway), Hou (13-10 at half), Indy (defense forces 4 to in 1st half, offense gets 3 pts, 3-3 at half). While we certainly weren't winning all of those, you can see how close it could become. if we won all of those, we would have 9 wins. Sure, thats not happening, but if the offense was good and BB didnt throw so many pick 6s, 7-6 is a fair assessment when you think about it.
At least people talk about the skins. Can't remember the last time anyone on tv talked about the titans. At most they talk about how great whatever team just played them looked.
So Griffin's true passion is revealed, he always wanted to be a punter, but denied himself of who he really was. If he kept punting instead of QBing in college, he might have been the most highly drafted punter ever instead!
