This Skins Giants game was great. RG3 hit a sweet pass at the end to take the lead, but didn't take enough time off the clock. Then as usual Eli can just throw a bomb for a TD whenever he wants at the end of games. WHERE ARE YOUR DEEP SAFETYS??? HE DOES THIS EVERY GAME!!!

Twas a good game. If the Skins don't turn the ball over 4 times, they win. They dominated the Giants. Now the Skins secondary...things are playing out just as I expected. When you have an overrated D. Hall, mediocre Josh Wilson, one dimensional Reed Doughty, and inconsistent Madieu Williams, you have 4 backups in your starting line up that will give any good QB with good WR options a chance to get that big play.

P.S. I was kind of happy to see Cruz get that 77-yarder. I needed the fantasy points.

Also, WTF was Joe Gibbs thinking when he accepted an invite to give the Cowboys a pep talk a day before their game with the Panthers?

Maybe he took the opportunity to tell them they all sucked? lol

About four years too late, the Carolina Panthers finally fired their incompetent GM Marty Hurney today.

Dez Bryant needs to start catching the ball. It’s really hard for everyone to blame Tony Romo for all of Dallas’ problems if Bryant keeps dropping Romo passes that hit him in the hands. Or ... wait a minute. Why is Tony Romo throwing the ball to Dez Bryant when he knows Bryant can’t catch? It’s because Romo is stupid! Ah-ha! We’re saved! Romo is terrible again! As you were, Dez. Crisis averted.

This is the week where New England gets to go to London to avoid playing eight actual road games for the second time in four seasons. The 49ers will get their second international freebie next year, but it's worth noting they actually lost a home game to go to London in there as well.

I don't know how you can consider going accross the ocean to not be a road game. OK maybe its more of a neutral site game, and maybe the idiots cheer for them due to the England in their name, but you cannot tell me it's not a road game.

[Yoshi]

I can't believe you just tried to make that argument. In order for it to be a road game, there has to be a home team. Are the Rams getting hometown support, calls, etc. in London?

[Diff-chan]

It's a neutral site, but yea, for it to count as a road game for the Pats and a home game for the Rams is BS unless the NFL is chartering flights from St. Louis.

[Yoshi]

And this is why. Every time I try to consider things from a competitive point of view, I have to be reminded that none of the NFL owners or league personnel care about that. It's only about the dollars.

Can you imagine being the Raiders/Chargers/49ers (so it's not all bad)/Seahawks and playing in London? There's no fucking way you're winning that game. West coast teams have a horrible record on the east coast. Imagine an additional 5 hour time difference.

Wife came home yesterday with two tickets to the Cardinals hosting the Lions on Dec 16th. Chances of it being a meaningful game are low but still excited to go.
