Ugh. That was a possible killshot waiting to happen. Bad look by Brady there.

Let's hope the Lions can't turn it around.

Watch the highlight of the Dalton pick 6... Clowney is lined up half a yard offsides but was not called. Nice job, guys.

Dalton is really mediocre. So many times he just needs to make a decent throw for an easy TD and instead it's under thrown or thrown to the wrong shoulder. If he didn't have a freak of nature at WR for the time he's been with the team I wonder if he'd even still be a starter.

I guess the good news for the Lions fans is that they get the Bears instead of the Pats on Thanksgiving.

Why challenge a short for the first reception? No way the Patriots go for it on their own 29.

Wow. do not understand that. You make it a two score game there.

And Stafford giving up two yards early.. sums up that game

Not the way to rally your team behind you Stafford. Way to wuss out on 4th down.

I meam maybe he knew that he wouldn't languish on the waiver wire if he was cut.

Vikings pull to within 3 with 3:00 left, roughing the passer on the 2 pt conversion so Vikings kick off from the 50. Logic says your only chance to win is to onside kick and not give the ball back to Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy. Zimmer kicks the ball deep, Packers easily pick up the 1st down and the game is over.

Good guy makes a mistake and doesn't play.

Bad guy quits on team and is rewarded with playing time and praise.

The Patriots Way indeed.

Watching the red zone channel so didn't see them decide on kicking it deep, but figured the would onside kick for sure after getting the extra 15 yards.

And nobody wants to win the NFC South still.

More good news for the Lions, 5 of their last 6 are easily winnable. The other teams they are fighting against would be Seattle and San Fran who have to play each other twice and Arizona at least once with Seattle playing Philly. Lions have tie breaker against Philly and Dallas has Philly twice and Indy.

So how much does Hoyer get paid after this season? And who pays him? He did have that clutch drive but the two drives before it were anything but.

I wouldn't count them out of the division race yet, they could easily be back in first place after next week.

He hasn't had a #1 WR until today, but he's also benefiting from being 3-0 against the NFC South. With so little of help, he'll get looks.

Problem for Detroit is that GB also has an easy schedule down the stretch. All GB needs to do is stay tied with Detroit and win the last game at Lambeau. Next week's game vs NE will be their toughest remaining game and it's at Lambeau. Packers have the edge on the division.

Lions should shoot for the 5 seed so they can play at the 6-10 Falcons in the 1st round.

RGIII has 59 yards passing with under 5 minutes to go in the 3rd, and the 49ers are up by 3. This shouldn't be close.

Niners offense is just as bad. The Washington punter is the clear MVP today as he's pinned the Niners back nearly every time.

I didn't see them making the playoffs, but this would be the kind of killer loss that the GM points to as to why the coach is gone. You can't go losing to bad teams while at home.
