It looks like the TB12 fanboy is back.
Whats up with the Chiefs? They started out 5-0 and dropped 5 of the last 6. Ouch!

I just read an article that suggested they need to bench Alex Smith. Funny, the media was singing his praises a month ago.

How about those Saints?
Remember this name, Alvin Kamara
That game Vince was on the TV in the other room where I work -- his name was mentioned a lot, w/the announcers saying about how he was averaging 7.6 yards per touch etc -- 101yds passing, 87 rushing -- not too shabby
This Chiefs-Jets game, I've never seen anything quite like it.
It's gotten even more bizzare after I posted!
Chiefs have turned into a mess. How can you lose to the lowly Jets?

Ben McAdoo out with the Giants. Doubt anyone is surprised by that. What a mess.

It reminded me of when Clemens threw the broken bat at Mike Piazza during the WS. Gronk seemed annoyed that offensive pass interference wasn't called and retaliated.
Like Clemens it makes me worried that something other than blood is coursing through his veins
Not to defend Clemens in that incident but I bet he could have hit Piazza if he had wanted to.

I don't think there are any Vikings fans around these parts, but as an NFL history fan (and even as a Packers fan) this history on the Vikings' original uniforms is pretty interesting.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21409647/the-full-story-how-viking-uniforms-came-minnesota
Former LA Rams QB Norm Van Brocklin was the Vikings' first head coach. The Rams are well known for having the first helmet graphics with their famous horns, which was easily adapted to the norse-themed Vikings by LA-based cartoonist Karl Hubenthal. And just as Curly Lambeau applied his Fighting Irish alma mater color scheme to his Packers (green/blue & gold) the Vikings' PR director used his University of Washington color scheme.
That's interesting, thanks for sharing. When I was a little kid my favorite player was Fran Tarkenton. No idea why I chose him but I did. Had a Vikings jersey of him when I was seven or eight years old.
Ah the memories!

Looking forward to some good games today. Lions & Packers both need to win to stay in the playoff hunt.
Eagles / Rams should be fun.
And Seattle getting points against the Jags. That one is interesting.

In what has been a one-sided rivalry of AFC superpowers, it appeared Sunday evening that the Pittsburgh Steelers had finally earned their moment of glory against New England, with homefield advantage in the playoffs as a reward. And then the NFL overturned tight end Jesse James' go-ahead touchdown with 29 seconds to play.
NFL SVP/officiating Al Riveron released a video Sunday night that explained the play's ruling. After showing the play, Riveron notes that James was going to the ground as he completed the apparent catch.
"That's the key here. [James] is going to the ground. By rule, to complete the process of the catch, he must survive the ground. And by that, we mean he must maintain control of the football," Riveron said. "He does put the ball over the goal line extended. Once he gets there, he loses control of the football and then the ball hits the ground. ... Therefore two things occur: He loses control of the football, and the ball touches the ground prior to him regaining control. Therefore, the ruling on the field of a touchdown was changed to an incomplete pass."
The NFL is in a tricky spot when it comes to the catch rule. Every Sunday, especially this Sunday across the league, it feels like multiple games are decided by interpretations of a rule that few broadcasters, much less fans, can anticipate. It did not help the confusion that the excellent CBS crew of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo didn't even consider that James' apparent touchdown might not be a catch until it was replayed many times and the game was delayed significantly.
"[James] lost complete control of the football. That was the ruling of the replay," referee Tony Corrente said in the pool report released after the game.
The decision to overturn the touchdown appears to be the correct interpretation of a rule, but these rules were written before the advent of multiple cameras, HD technology and the ability to slow down replays to microseconds to see a ball slightly move. The improvement in technology has come with unintended consequences and the move this season to centralize replay decisions in the New York office has not helped to simplify the rule to fans, at least not yet. (The phrase "No one knows what a catch is" has been heard plenty this season.)
Another correct interpretation of a controversial rule -- the tuck rule -- once benefitted the Patriots before the rule was eventually changed. It's always possible that the fine print of the catch rule could be revisited yet again this offseason by the Competition Committee. That won't be much consolation to Steelers fans, especially after Ben Roethlisberger's inexplicable decision to throw into triple coverage a few plays later.

I can kind of understand the Steelers TD call, since he lost control of the ball on his own. The ground can't cause a fumble, but that doesn't matter if you don't secure it first. But I can also see it being a TD when the ball crosses the goal line, and then he loses control of the ball, at which point it shouldn't matter.
Then again, my Packers were a butt cheek away from staying alive in the playoff hunt. It's not the season anyone anticipated, there wasn't any room for error, but at least we swept the Bears and beat the Cowboys and Seahawks!
unlike a run, the play isn't over when the ball crosses the goal line - the receiver has to make the catch.
Proper call, bad rule that has to be fixed.
Of course, anyone who watched the NE - Seattle SB should know NOT to throw a pass in the middle of the field near the goal line at the end of a game.
I like Chuck, but it's time. I thought with Grigson being gone and a healthy Luck, he would be fine.
This team is in worse shape now than when he started , but I do not blame all that on him.
Ryan Grigson is the gift that keeps on giving. 🙁 🙁 🙁
I don't have enough room to write a dissertation on Mr Grigson and the state of this franchise, and nobody else really cares outside of Indy to read this, nor should they.
My biggest fear is Andrew Lucks future. They might be wise to draft a QB this year, or go with Jacoby. I think he is talented enough, but needs some more coaching and a decent offensive line in front of him, he has almost kinda regressed. Probably from taking a beating and not given enough time to feel comfortable behind the poor blocking. Some of it is him for poor reads/holding the ball, but I give him a pass for being young and coming in with very little playing time if that.
Chris Ballard has his hands full.

If the Colts don't send a player to Orlando through the alternate process, it will be the first time since 1997 that they're not represented at the Pro Bowl.
I've always known the expression "the ground can't cause a fumble, but it can cause an incompletion".
People say "well it would've been a catch in college", that is because his knee was down with possession, but in the NFL a knee being down without defender contact means nothing.
I'm not sure they need to revise or change the catch rule as it is. And I'm not a Pats fan or a Steeler fan.
I almost feel sorry for Steeler fans.
