I'm happy about the Redskins big win too. They are starting to really become a team we can get behind as you said above. I've always liked Kirk Cousins. Imagine how good he would be if he had been playing full time the last 3 seasons.
We all have to love the Bills continued downward spiral. They have lost 4 out of 5 now and may not make the playoffs. I would love nothing more than to see Rex Ryan fail as usual just like in NY. His huge ego is so fragile. Good game by Alex Smith & the Cheifs. Smith may not put up huge numbers but he rarely ever turns the ball over. I can't remember the last time he had an interception. He is like Kevin Hogan of Stanford. Very accurate, strong and smart.

Hate to admit it but I will be cheering for the Crawfords vs. Plantation Pete's blackhawks. Big Ben has been stellar considering the injuries he has experienced this season.

Yes, this is like voting in a Democrat primary election. The Crawford's at least have Ben and Miller with some Olineman. The Blackhawks have TE Wilson, DE Marsh and 2 Olineman. Both teams have a reserve or 2 also who may or may not be active. This truly is a Coal Bowl.

Good to see Smith have a good game today for kansas city carrying the load in the season long absence of the hard to deny talented jamaal charles. The rest of their running backs and recievers minus Maclin seem very over rated and Smith rose to the occasion tonight.
Also two sacks for Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan today and a team leading 7 tackles for fellow linebacker Compton make the Redskins quite a watchable team with Cousins proving the media wrong in most games so far this year.

Gabbert is playing well vs. a tough Arizona defense. The 49ers have just tied the game. He looks to be utilizing both Vance McDonald and Blake Bell (the Belldozer).

Stuck with the Blackhawks versus Steelers here in Britain, glad to hear he is doing well, had a terrible cast around him at Jacksonville no wonder he failed there.

Blackhawks stole a win with a combination of bad tackling and a few bad calls that went the way of Plantation pete.

I don't understand how the refs make so many bad calls when individual refereeing expert mike carey on cbs says they are wrong. The same with foxs expert mike perrera so often says refs get the key decision wrong.

Well thats an awesome start. Gronk TD already. Can't believe they do not have double coverage on the GRONK. He made the corner back then tj ward look bloody awful

Seahawks TE, Jimmy Graham, likely out for the season. The talented Luke Willson takes over.
Nice to see both Gronk and Chandler score against the Blackos. Hopefully more TD's to come tonight for the tallest TE duo of all time.
It's weird to see the Pats without of white WR in the lineup. First time I can remember since 2007.

Derek Wolfe and Rob Ninkovich, the only two White defensive players on the field, are both having big games.

Yea it really isn't. Hopefully Gronk gets a few more balls thrown his way in the 4th quarter. Brady has been superb as usual though.

Pats sumo rookie with a holding penalty negating a big passing play.
Trent Dilfer said today on BSPN that the quality of play in the NFL has been going downhill for a long time and that it's worse than ever this season. I know some don't like Dilfer but I find him to be pretty fair in his analyses, certainly on the mark with this one.

Trent Dilfer is one of the more knowledgeable and respected analysts on BSPN, he does get a little annoying at times but seems to be fair.
If he has an issue with the quality of play he should begin speaking up when he is covering the NFL draft, asking why teams are drafting unproductive players based on 40 speeds and "upside". That is where the problem begins.

A big part of that is officiating. NFL needs to start cleaning house in the regard.

Good point. There are bad calls and also alot of tick tacky rules especially when it comes to pass defense that make the game sloppier.

And now Gronkowski is on the field in pain - another low hit on him by a black DB
Dilfer was talking about the players only, not the officiating. And now Gronk's in some serious pain, hope it's not broken ribs. . . .
Edit: it's his right knee

That's probably the worst possible outcome - hopefully it's just a sprain. He did put a little weight on it before getting carted off.

Patriots should sign Collie.
Edit: So even if the Patriots wanted to they couldn't cause NFL has some dumb rule about signing CFL players who played an entire season.

Bimbo Michelle Tafoya announces that Gronk's out for the game. With 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter -- ya think?
Looks ominous, hopefully it's not as bad as it looks.
