Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Week 15 Early Games Thread: Comment on the 1 p.m. Games Here At BTSC

There's a lot going on in the NFL in Week 15. Although most games with AFC Playoff implications are this afternoon, there are still lots of interesting aspects to the early games.

Will Cam Newton add on to his NFL quarterbacks record 13 rushing touchdowns? Will Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and New Orleans' Drew Brees combine for 900-plus passing yards in their games against Kansas City and Minnesota, respectively?

There's always a chance Indianapolis could win its first game of the season. Chances come in all sizes, large and microbial, but a Colts win puts the Steelers in the playoffs for the fourth time in five years under Mike Tomlin.

These are the kinds of things we love about the NFL, so stay logged into BTSC and add some commentary on highlights of games in your area. Hey, unless Jason Garrett's freezing of Dan Bailey cost you a Fantasy Football playoff spot (ahem), there's always your roto league.

Go Bengals!

And the Panthers just scored a TD to go up 7-0 on the Texans.

i have the choice of

saints at vikes or bungles at rams……………BOOOOOO NFL

suspend Harrison and then offer me the above crap for my entertainment displeasure. SMDH

Instead I will be watch a 1pm showing of Sherlock Homes. Maybe he can figure why the NFL can kiss my ass.

That being said, I will be back by 3 to watch Team Tebow whoop that Patsie ASS. Oh yeah and watching the December boys of SD kick the crap out of the Ratbirds is definitely must see TV.

Go AFC West! A day for that Divison to shine!

I can choose between the Texans/Panthers or Bengals/Rams

Not the greatest of choices, but I’m liking the old school uniforms that the Rams are wearing.

Yeah Green Bay is totally playing down to the competition cough cough. Orton looks pissed for being replaced for miracle Timmy.

Although Rodgers is probably going to run all over that team any time now.

6-0……it will be 31-6 by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

Things lining up nicely.

I just want to see San Diego, Rivers and the gang with total motivation to beat Baltimore tonight. Raiders lose. Denver loses. I hope.

Chargers go into the game at home with a chance at a playoff spot and somehow someway beat Baltimore. Would be beautiful.

Lots of ’72 Dolphins hoping for the Chiefs to win right now. For once I am too. Go Chiefs!

I am confused. Are we not hoping for anything good to motivate the Chargers so they beat the Ravens and we win our division and then hopefully take care of the Cards and Browns and win out. Finish 13-3 and hopefully a seeding and a bye? Is this not the hope for Steeler fans now? Please advise. I am perplexed and tired and drinking.

The Chiefs just beat the Packers. So, it’s clear they can’t win the SB now, by his logic.

Yeah

Wasn’t our narrow win against the Chiefs a total embarrassment? How could we only score 13 against them?

TEBOW IS GOD!!!!111

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang
