In American Divisional rivalries, the games themselves have an inherent meaning to the future of each team. Winning can mean advancing to playoffs, losing can me missing out on the post-season! So if the Bears beat the Packers in both of their divisional games this season there is solid chance the Packers don't make the post-season and vice versa if they beat Bears both games. Same with Ravens and Steelers, or with Eagles and Cowboys (most years not this year) the way the Cardinals were only the 6th team EVER to miss the post season posting a 10-6 win season.. Why? Because their division rival the 49ers had a 12 win season and their other division rival the Seahawks posted a 13 win season!

See what I mean?


So I guess what I am saying is, explain (IN REGULAR SEASON GAMES NOT TOURNAMENTS) what do Boca Junior and River Plate have to lose in the Superclasico exactly or what do Bayern München and Nürnberg have to lose in the Bavarian Derby?? I'm not asking this facetiously, I'm asking this in all seriousness..

The most amazing catch of the year is called back because of penalty. That was the Texans' day yesterday. what a stinker.

meanwhile Ravens prove again that Tucker > Cundiff

The Dolphins lost to the Chiefs. Is that an upset or par for the course?

Hahaha.. well in the scheme of the past 10 years its on par, but looking at how well they played in Game 1 and especially how injured what seems to be left of the Chiefs I'd say it was a serious upset..

Fuck Shea Sorrano, Grantland needs to fire that dude and really, Andrew Sharp should be writing so much less..

So JJ Watt has more TDs already than half the receivers in the league including torrey smith and roddy white COMBINED but yet not celebratory posts from the Instigator? Watt is clearly front runner for DYOP.. speaking of which, how is the sleeping on my man Jimmy Smith who has quietly become a top-3 Corner and over past 4 games is possibly the best corner in the game right now?? Since Smith shut down Megatron last season in that big game against Lions it seems he decided to challenge Sherman for title of the best

My Texans managed an ugly win against a decent Bills team. Next week, we need to take it to the Cowgirls on the road. That will be hard! Our offense is lame. Our QB ran for more yards than the rest of our RB's combined.

awful.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 09.29.2014 04:43 PM

Cowgirl are playing good but considering both texans and cowgirls.have their.best starts.in.over 10 years means its a coin toss.and my money is on watt since surely romo will remember he is The Tony Romo and so do Romo things to lose the game

As a bunch of AFC fans I hope y'all were over celebrating that critical beatdown of the patriots last night! Every single second, every miscue, every bad play, every punt, every turnover, that game was priceless! It was as perfect a game as was the seattle beatdown of broncos in superbowl. Fuck close games, when it comes to brady or manning watching them get blown out is something special to be savored. Im adding that chiefs game to my list of all time great brady losses ive had the pleasure to behold with the ravrns 2009 divisional game 33-14 massacre and the 2013 AFC game 31-14 (both IN FOXBOROUGH MIND YOU!!) was left laying flat on his back after the game humiliated yet again by ravens on his own field.. great memories! Did y'all dee the belicheck post game press,conference? That was almost better than the game itself ;) like my mang suggs said 2years ago, "take that ypu arrogant fucks!"

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 09.30.2014 05:40 PM

I may still harbor.a.grudge.for the tuck rule game ;)

Rob Instigator 10.01.2014 08:16 AM

I too loved seeing the disgrace on the Pats faces!!!!

demonrail666 10.26.2014 03:36 PM

Just to say Detroit v Atlanta was a great game.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 10.26.2014 04:00 PM

Dont remind me, BOTH my teams lost big must-win games by stupid penalties in the,final seconds...... ugh!! But I'm glad you enjoyed it

demonrail666 10.26.2014 05:19 PM

Most of the NFL games Ive seen at Wembley (on telly, of course) have been duds but this was great (from a neutral's pov). Calvin Johnson not playing was a disappointment but that was more than made up for by what happened in the second half. Great stuff.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 10.26.2014 09:15 PM

Wait, you were AT the actual game??

demonrail666 10.26.2014 09:38 PM

Nooo. I wish. Saw it on TV

Was the television broadcast called by British or American commentators?

Not related, my Instigator Fantasy team lost this week to a 1-6 team because Ben Roethlisberger scored over 50 fantasy points.
