Who Knows?

When the big story of the week is just how much trade value your backup quarterback has, things are pretty good. When the second biggest story of the week is just how incredibly drunk the wide receiver you picked up on waivers was, that's not so good. Life. It's not just a board game.

Butt-Puckering Time

Most NFL fans find themselves somewhere between anger and acceptance at this point in the season. Denial was left in the rear view a few weeks ago. For others, though, there is still plenty of fear, uncertainty and dread left. Well, except for Cowboys fans, who have nothing better to do till the playoffs start than stuffing Salvation Army buckets with cash. Merry Christmas to (almost) all!

A Double Standard Means There Is No Standard

I know what you're thinking. Another Patriots fan who just can't let go of Deflategate.

Of course, that's never going to happen. We're never letting go. Then again, we're not the ones picking the scab.

Fuzzy on the Whole Good-Bad Thing

It's crazy. Brady just had his worst game of the year and I actually feel better about New England's Super Bowl hopes.

Old School

I really thought I  preferred the 33-20 wins but winning 16-3 in Denver felt good. So good.

Defense wins championships, right? I think I heard that somewhere once.

DIY Pigskins

Last night, Patriots fans were rooting for the Jets. If the Dolphins had lost, the Patriots would've clinched the AFC East. Today, Dolphins fans will be rooting for the Patriots as a Broncos loss would give them inside position for a Wild Card spot over the reigning Super Bowl champs.

The NFL. It's an emotional roller coaster that ends with most of us throwing up.
