ILNFL sandbox thread, because you shouldn't pass up a chance to LOL @ the NY Giants

what a maroon

pretty great game from Stafford really, maybe the splint really was bothering him.

TD #27

that deep pass to calvin was kind of awful

yeah but other than that pretty clean, right?

I mean come on Jord, he's 22-26

Ugh I hate that play call

bad sequence for detroit

i don't think i posted about it on ilx, but anyone who watched jimmy graham play his first year of football as a senior at miami ever knew he was gonna be great in the nfl. one of the best tight ends in the league in his second year?? nah i didn't think that, but as someone who watched him hack his way through depressing acc basketball games, i'm not sure i've ever been happier for an athlete.

wait, they're PUNTING?

Jim Schwartz looking pretty weak tonight.

incredible

what the fuck are the lions even about?

this team gets flagged after the play like the 87 hurricanes

That may have been one of the latest hits in the history of late hits.

lol @ collinsworth earlier re: offensive pass interference: i cheated my whole career but you can't do that

Oh hey, u guys! There's an NFC East matchup on SNF next week!

i know the eagles aren't involved, thankfully

Oh man, Giants-Cowboys next week! Normally NFC East primetime games are kinda bleh but I think the Cowboys' ultimate Derping today and the Giants looking as though they might be playing like the interesting-to-watch Giants again, I am kinda stoked.

I am kinda OK with the Raiderization of the Detroit Lions.

yes, the cowboys always have tremendous derp potential, so it's cool for them to be around

were you guys aware that tomorrow night's game is the jags v the chargers? we've all made plans accordingly, correct?

I will be on an airplane, and not one with TV, alas.

VERY good planning, C-L

I'm just so sick of that division (NFCE, that is).

went 0-4 today!

well this week at least

I like NYG when they are playing well (but they are agonizing when they are beating themselves), enjoy a handful of Cowboy schadenfreudes every year (the game last year where the Packers got Wade Phillips fired was a TREAT), and find it best to avoid the Redskins (which is difficult in DC) and Eagles.

i was going to say, chucky will go batshit over being forced to watch jags/bolts boredom. might even be crazier than last week when he almost smacked jaws with a crutch

Yeah I really do like watching the MNF guys when the game sucks. Nobody else gets that angry at terrible football, it's hilarious.

Holy crap, everybody in the AFC is 9-3 or 7-5 or terrible, apparently.

oh no, matt forte. bears didn't pay him a new contract yet either, did they

nah, but a two week injury is no biggie for the long term i don't think

hahahaha dallas iced their own kicker?! <3<3<3 they come up with the craziest ways to lose!

it's a t-rex with a giants hat getting off the subway, what else would it be

(did you all not see that on tv during giants/packers game? i am not making it up)

srsly dude hang out w/ us on ilh this season u will discover a new passon i promise you

i mean as mch of a nerd as u r i cant believe you like football so much

gotta feel good about the Packers, who had a ton of stuff go wrong for them (turnover deep in their own territory, gave up a ton of big plays, Woodson going out, missed FG, 6-7 dropped passes) but still managed to win. sucks that Woodson's gonna probably sit for a while but their schedule is pretty easy now. 3 of 4 games at home with the one road trip being to KC. Bears looking horrible, now completely depleted on offense - losing Forte makes Caleb even less likely to succeed. Once again the Lions embarrass themselves on national TV but every NFC wildcard contender lost today so they'll probably squeak in at 9-7 or something.

for some reason the flow of a basketball game just doesn't do it for me. I like playing tho. I was a pretty lame bloomer w/ my interest in sports, I pretty much was a regular nerd who didn't care before college. it helped that my college football team's qb at the time was aaron rodgers.

haha 'late bloomer' also lame bloomer

lol

article about jon gruden in the dec. 12 new yorker btw - i haven't finished it yet and don't know enough about him to know whether it's good or not but thought the football people might want to know

bears are fucked, huh

bears are fucked, huh

Sure looks that way.

wait, how come nobody told me that raheem morris sent one of his players home in the second half yesterday

sry my bad

I didn't know.

Favre to Bears rumors starting, would be such an epic Week 16 game to see Favre and the Bears come to Lambeau w/ their playoff hopes on the line trying to take out the unbeaten Packers

i'm going to hack up a lung laughing if favre comes back
