It was a tough loss, but New England is still likely to finish 12-4 and have the #3 seed. Denver is likely to win out and secure the #2 seed, as they have lowly Cleveland and Kansas City remaining. In the final few games of last season, Stevan Ridley was a “healthy scratch” for the playoffs after a series of bad fumbles. Consequently, Woodhead shined. At the very least, his performance against the stout 49er defense (17 touches for 84 yards and 2 TDs) could propel him into the starting lineup…

Congrats to Welker, who despite mostly bracket coverage (that allowed Hernandez and Lloyd in single coverage) throughout the season, became the first player in NFL history to have 5 different 100-catch seasons. If he hadn’t been a held out of the final two games of the 2010 season (the year he was recovering from an ACL tear), this likely would’ve been his 6[SUP]th[/SUP] 100-catch season. I realize that former head case, Brandon Lloyd, has a putrid target-to-catch ratio…but I must admit that his body control, talent to make catches in traffic, and toe-tapping ability is superb, particularly for a black receiver. I wonder what Mike Hass, who was/is better than Lloyd in all of those categories, could have been in the NFL? Lloyd also isn’t very fast, which is why he gets the benefit of single coverage on the outside.
It was nice to see Denver demolish the Ravens on the road, with Eric Decker tallying 8 catches for 133 yards and a TD (he was inches away from 2 TD’s)…

Moments after Decker’s 51-yard TD catch, Ed Reed “chimped out” and was seen smashing his helmet on the ground and kicking it in a fit of anger. It was quite hilarious…
That included Ravens Pro Bowl free safety Ed Reed slamming his helmet to the ground after he and cornerback Cary Williams allowed a touchdown pass to Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker. Then, Reed booted his helmet soccer-style with the helmet accidentally hitting someone on the sidelines.
As others mentioned, Denver’s offense became even more exciting to watch with the signing of Jacob Hester, who tallied 7 carries for 20 yards and a TD…

In the same game, the Ravens literal and figurative “bright spot,” Dennis Pitta, shined again (7 catches, 125 yards, 2 TD’s)…

Other agreeable occurrences included Pittsburgh’s 7[SUP]th[/SUP] loss of the season, which likely extinguished their playoff eligibility…
CAPTION: Witten Dashes Zulu Playoff Hopes
Should their beloved, extra-brown squad of black-n-gold clad Zulus fail to reach the playoffs, how shall the fattest, most slovenly, most inebriated, most racially-comatose gathering of Negro-flavored white buffoons in the entire nation possibly endure? In what location shall they imbibe poisonous liquids and barbeque-sodden foods, if not at Heinz Field or in the adjoining parking lot? How shall their larynx become chapped and raw, if not through the process of producing ear-shattering screams of praise for the darkest squad in NFL history? To what shall they devote the endless, trivial hours of their vacuous lives to supporting, if not a fundamentally anti-white, black supremacist sports corporation owned and operated by the “Certified Cultural Marxist” Rooney family? While these days may appear to be swathed in darkness for the Terrible Towel-waving members of “Zulu Nation,” there is solace in the fact that the 2013 season is right around the bend…

Also, it was nice to know that Greg “The Gap-Toothed Wigger” Schiano’s (Freethinker’s hilarious trademark) black Bucs lost their 8[SUP]th[/SUP] game, with Josh Freeman regressing yet again…

Also, it was nice to see the Redskins win with Kirk Cousins, tying them atop the NFL East with the Giants and Cowboys. It would be perfect if Dallas won out and the Giants and Redskins somehow missed the playoffs (and the Vikings took their spots).
In the Rams-Vikings game, Amendola had a decent outing (6 catches, 58 yards, 1 TD and an electrifying return TD called back)…

Chad Greenway, the NFL’s premiere tackling machine, had 14 tackles (13 solo), 1 fumble recovery and 1 sack. Greeway has 140 tackles with 2 games remaining…

As others mentioned,
“The Nordic Beast,” JJ Watt, was electrifying again, bringing his season total to 74 tackles, 19.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 15 passes defended…

Also, congrats to Brian Hartline (5 catches for 77 yards) on acheiving his 1st 1,000-yard receiving season despite playing for a low-powered offense featuring a rookie QB...
