NFL 2018: Week 13

Why'd it take me until last night to figure out the lyrics to the FOX injury timeout song is "It's the Injury, Injury, Injury Song?"

Jags-Colts setting a record for ineffective passing?

Benching Bortles fixed the Jaguars defense somehow.

When you change one line of code and it fixes something completely different in the program and you don't know why...

And the injury music on Red Zone sounds like the music a GTA game set in Vice City would use when you're trying to flee the police.

Today might be the only day I'm glad MMD ghosted from the NFL because his Bucs are roasting my Panthers and I'm not sure I could take his sh!t, as deserving as I would to be receiving it.

Meanwhile, Panthers Twitter has turned on the O-line, the refs and Ron Rivera in a bad way. Three-heading-for-four straight losses does make people salty.

Also, Cam might be legit hurt.

In related news, I'll be interviewing teams starting Tuesday. Looks like I'll be needing a bandwagon to get me through the postseason.

So McCarthy's getting fired?

He'll probably be extended.

Andy Benoit had a good article on Rodgers and McCarthy last week.

McCarthy probably gone this offseason, and that almost certainly needs to happen at this point, but Rodgers is a big part of the problem.

But Rodgers does not click with the regularity of a Drew Brees, Tom Brady or even a resurgent Andrew Luck.

Article debunked!

The NE/GB game from a few weeks ago showed both Brady and Rodgers not looking so hawt, but Rodgers missed a ton of throws. I had assumed it was a bad night, but also keep getting the vibe from him that he's just not that into football or something. There's an edge that's been missing.

Jeezus Christ....

These late games are getting bananas.

Edit: And McCarthy's out.

Go Hawks.

It's warmer in Pittsburgh than it is here.

Probably many factors. I'm sure starting the season gimped + breaking in a bunch of new WRs doesn't help.

It was time for McCarthy to go and happy it happened earlier instead of weeks on weeks of endless speculation.

Wil be interesting to see what names come after the job and how the team drafts/signs players to stay competitive.

"I'm coming home, I'm coming home..."

Ugh, the unfortunate timing of taking the picture with his facial expression and the motion blur on his fist.

After last night, I think I'm going to hop on the Chargers bandwagon. Keenan Allen is a local guy, Marmalard played at NC State, and the Chargers need fans.

Meanwhile, the Panthers fired two defensive coaches (D-line* and D-backs) and Ron Rivera is taking over defensive play-calling duties so the riverboat that is his tenure with Carolina doesn't sink into Lake Norman. Everyone expected the O-line to struggle (which they didn't until they did) and the WRs to be a project (more good than bad). But the complete collapse of the defense is a surprise to everyone in Pantherland.

* Brady Hoke, the same guy who ran Michigan football into the ground in just four years.

OOF

I wonder how long before someone Photoshops Mike McCarthy disintegrating into that Bose commercial.

Word is that the Browns are already pursuing McCarthy, which isn't surprising given the entire front office is ex-Packer guys.

McCarthy paired with the Packer alum front office would probably make for the least dysfunctional Browns football operations in a long time. Which just means Jimmy Haslam is going to stick his nose in the middle and fire them all after their first year, in which they go 6-10.

Lots of bad time management though. That's a step up from general mismanagement!

Via some dude on Twitter:

Games with 4 TD passes since 2004

Panthers - 7
Bears - 7
Titans - 7
Browns - 6
Cardinals - 6
Dolphins - 5
Rams - 5
Ravens - 4
Jets - 3
49ers - 1

Who's looking more youthful tonight: Mark Sanchez or Nick Fury?

Congratulations Adrian Peterson on the 90-yard touchdown.

Shame on you, Eagles Defense, for letting that happen at all.

Good to have you back, Sproles.

Let's see how the rest of this game goes. Dare I hope?

McCoy broke his Bones.

Mark Sanchez butt fumble recovery!

How did the Internet not break when that happened?

Was anyone actually watching the game?

I've got a migraine today, in case someone wants to take over new thread duties this week. Only requirement is to put it up before Legion would have so you've got until Thursday afternoon.

Yeah, I kind of want to feel elated at having actually won two games in a row, but considering how broken and busted the Skins were before this game even started...

What's the Eagles schedule looking like? Cowboys next? Oh... well, maybe we can get back at 'em and-- wait, Rams? Then Texans?! Whelp, at least we got two wins in a row. Good-bye remainder of the season.
