I'm completely guessing here, but there was an article on espn.com during the week about how the Seahawks need wristwatches for Christmas to remind them that a game is 60 minutes long. I guess that's referencing the Seahawks blowing a bunch of leads in the fourth quarter this year.

Cardinals better not lose with a backup QB starting and beating SF by 40 earlier this season.

The defense is playing well enough for SF-stoppng the running game and now both Johnson and Ellington are hurt. It took the Cards about 10 plays to score the TD in this quarter, after getting to the goal line, and that was thanks to four SF penalties at or near the goal line. Gabbert is making long connections too.

That makes sense. Thanks.

The officiating in the AZ/SF game is beyond comical. From the very beginning when they couldn't figure out what down it was for about 5 minutes to this latest "roughing the passer".

Morelli's crew is having about as bad a game as I've ever seen a refereeing crew have. From right at the beginning when they forgot which down it was and took 3+ minutes to figure it out. 49ers will have some legit gripes if they lose this one.

Some big extra point misses today. You'd think these kickers would have this figured out by now.

I guess I like the added dynamic, but overall, I really don't want to see teams matching TD for TD only to have one team win because the stupid kicker can't make the stupid extra-point.

i feel the same way about all kicks....just cut it out. 2 points 100% of the time, and score or punt.

whew! Cards were very lucky to win that game-penalties played a very big part-kept at least two drives in which they ended up scoring alive.

yeah I couldn't believe they couldn't figure out the downs-definitely not a banner moment-hope this group doesn't do any playoff games. And even as a diehard Cards fan I didn't see any roughing the passer. RedZone didn't show a lot of replays so couldn't see if Palmer was hit in the head by the SF's player's helmet. They almost have to call that this year if it happens.

Or just make TD's worth 7 points, FG's worth 3, and Safeties worth 2. If both team's score 4 TD's and 2 FG's during the game then go to overtime.

Blast it Osweiler!

I want all of the Qbs in the league with one syllable last names that begin with "B" as their first name to succeed - Brock, Blaine, and Blake.

Some of you would probably enjoy my ex-father-in-law, who told my son on Thankgiving that the Pats were a bunch of cheaters and former Michigan quarterback (my son lives in Ann Arbor) and his favorite player, Tom Brady, is a cry-baby for appealing his suspension.

Guess who's getting a Brady jersey for Christmas? Hint, it's not the so-and-so who lives in Kansas City.

I got myself a Bears jersey so my wife and I can match when we watch her team.

I know it's silly, and I'd never wear one in public, but every few years I get a different team's jersey with "Solecismic" on it.

I have been an major jinx to players the past couple weeks with players getting serious injuries when I have picked them for draft kings. I have Brady and Gronk tonight, so I apologize to Pats fans if my jinx continues and to the other AFC teams, you're welcome.

Chiefs are in a really good spot now. Have tiebreaker head-to-head over Pittsburgh, Houston, and Buffalo with two games still against the Raiders to decide that tiebreaker.

This is a surprisingly dreadful game to watch, given the 18-2 combined record of these teams. Could go either way, but not because anyone outplayed anyone.

Patriots playing with a bunch of backups, they looked bad last week to. I don't know how they are even able to stay competitive.

They could have made it to the two minute warning and forced Denver to use their timeout... and not have gotten Gronk hurt if they ran the ball those first two plays.

They are up by 4. You play to score. Pats can't run the ball worth a damn this year.

You play to win. Two runs makes it 3rd down at the two minute warning with Denver out of timeouts. A safe play on 3rd down either gets the first or lead to a punt giving Denver the ball with about 1:15 left, no timeouts and their backup QB in the game.

Semi serious question. Given the injuries that have been going against the Pats, do you just take the L here instead of running the risk that Brady is the next Pats player to get injured?

I don't even know what the rule is in this case but if the clock doesn't actually stop like a timeout they shouldn't call it a timeout.

You mean the "excess timeout"? From what I can tell, that was applied correctly.

Those certainly were four critical calls in the fourth quarter - all went for the Broncos. It's kind of fun seeing Brady all amped up. He lives for this stuff.
