In a perfect world, I'd channel by inner MMD and lead off the weekly post with something highly amusing. But on a day HEY DARNOLD came off of injured reserve this week AND MIGHT PLAY IN AN NFL GAME THIS SEASON and because Urban Meyer is kicking his kickers (wide right, mostly likely) there is absolutely nothing I can write in this space that will be as funny as either of those two developments.
Teddy B gets me.
GIF OF THE WEEK
From the Week 14 thread:
Legion will have to explain it. All I see is the Jags running a pass play exactly as Urban Meyer drew it up.
Also:
Nothing screams Flyover County like printing out things from the internet.
COACH OF THE YEAR WATCH
I can't believe no one commented on my HOT TAKE from last week's thread, and that Belichick is probably deserving of Coach of the Year honors. Anyway, we need something to argue about this week, and that's as good a topic as any.
SCORIGAMI WATCH
We had another one this week: Chiefs 48, Raiders 9. Hard to believe they keep coming but they do.
POWER RANKINGS
Via NFL.com this week:
1. Packers (1st last week)
2. Bucs (3)
3. Cardinals (2)
4. Chiefs (5)
5. Patriots (4)
Biggest gainer: Falcons +4 to 24th (which is an awful lot of credit to give for beating a team coached by Matt Rhule)
Biggest loser: Ravens (16th) and Raiders (25th) dropped four spots this week.
Fab five: Panthers (28), Jets (29), Lions (30), Texans (31), Jags (32). Woof.
IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY ...
AFC seeds (in order): Patriots (9-4), Titans (9-4), Chiefs (9-4), Ravens (8-5); Chargers (8-5), Colts (7-6), Bills (7-6)
AFC bubble teams: Browns (7-6), Bengals (7-6), Broncos (7-6)
NFC seeds (in order): Packers (10-3), Bucs (10-3), Cards (10-3), Cowboys (9-4); Rams (9-4), Niners (7-6), Footballers (6-7)
NFC bubble teams: Vikings, Eagles, Falcons and Saints are all a miserable 6-7. Show of hands for the NFC playoffs to include only six teams this year?
WEEK 15 SCHEDULE
Thursday night: *Chiefs at Chargers* (Fox, NFL, Amazon)
Saturday!!!: Raiders at Browns (4:30p), *Patriots at Colts* (815p); both on NFL

Sunday night: Saints at Bucs
Monday night: Vikings at Bears
Bye: None; we're done with that nonsense
BEFORE WE GO
In this blast from the past, here's Dick Butkus catching a PAT. Dude didn't get a flag for taunting because he's Dick Freakin Butkus and would have probably eaten the ref.
Look at that big beautiful Jimmy G face in the banner. Enix taking good care of me with the Jimmy and Deebo banners while I suffer through Urban burning down the Jaguars organization.

Every damn year, please. There will be garbage teams every year now.
If Keenum looks good and they beat the Raiders, do they keep playing an injured Baker once he comes back from the covids?
There may very well be conversations in the Khan camp about "How can we Al Davis our way out of this?"
Circling back around to this thought: they may have just found it. Assaulting a player may have thrown the door wide open for firing with cause. That's gonna fall on the wrong side of pretty much any standard conduct language in a contract.
A prominent Jags leaker simply tweeted "Hold on to your butts". So we'll see.

No but it's the Browns so yes?

Gross. Not everything is about you, #Legion". Enix is merely spreading the holiday cheer by posting happy pics! It has nothing to do with you.
Just hours after Lawrence made that comment in his weekly news conference, a report surfaced from the Tampa Bay Times in which former Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo alleged that coach Urban Meyer kicked him in the leg while stretching in warm-ups before a practice during the week of the final preseason game.
Lambo said Meyer told him, "Hey Dips---, make your f---ing kicks!" and then kicked him in the leg. Lambo characterized the kick as a five out of 10 and then told the Tampa Bay Times he told Meyer: "Don't you ever f---ing kick me again!" Lambo said Meyer told him, "I'm the head ball coach. I'll kick you whenever the f--- I want.
Not to defame kickers too much (F*ck Roberto Aguayo, sorry, habit), but the idea that the almighty Urban Meyer could be tossed aside and lose tens of millions of dollars because he was a dick to a kicker . . . that would absolutely and utterly be:

You're right. Of course the rest of you want to see stud Niners pics. I'm glad we're all on the same page about which team should be occupying the weekly banners.

... They're 7-6. Let's not get carried away here.
While coaches kicking kickers is getting all the attention right now, there's still that little matter of Daniel Snyder allegedly interfering in the NFL's investigation into WFT and now Goodell's trying to downplay it.

It's amazing how totally unequipped Urbz is to be a coach who doesn't have absolute power or absorb the kind of losing that just comes with being a NFL coach, especially at a rebuilding franchise like the Jaguars.

Yeah some of it's about me. Teddy!
Saturday games!
Dammit
The only 3 games I want to watch are all late Sunday. Ravens, Broncos, Niners.

I don't get that. Given records, injuries, and trends there is a good chance that the most competitive games could be played before Sunday. It starts tomorrow!
Just saying my team (Niners) and my guys (Teddy and Lamar) are all playing in the same window. One on TV and one on each monitor I guess.

That's more late games on Sunday than I usually want to watch.
You know how bad you gotta be at your job to get fired at Nick at Nite hours?
the background noise to this dude's firing was a 25-year-old rerun of The Nanny
JOSH LAMBO ISN'T EVEN ON THE JAGUARS ROSTER ANYMORE AND HE JUST KICKED THEIR BIGGEST GAME WINNER OF THE SEASON
Current mood:

Hell some Sunday late windows only have TWO games.
Bye, Felicia

CLUTCH
I never thought I could be this happy to hear the words "Darrell Bevell is now your head coach".
So, do the Jags put Josh Lambo in their Ring of Honor on Sunday, or do they wait a few weeks to pretend to be respectful?
A few weeks ago, I hypothesized that the Jags/Texans game could be a coach Thunderdome situation, with whichever team that loses to the other pathetic 2-11 team dumping their coach.
If only I could go back and tell my slightly younger self that URBAN WON'T MAKE IT THAT FAR
