Loved the ass-kicking the Bucs gave the Giants yesterday. The NY fans were all up for it at the start, cheering Danny Sopranos DeVito. By half-time 23-0, my radio buddy could not hear himself doing an interview with the Bucs' coach because of the booing. It was 30-0 when we started playing our back-ups, cheerleaders and my radio buddy. Now we have to face the might of the Panthers and Raiders the next two weeks. The line for the Bucs against Las Vegas is about the same as the Death Star over Alderaan.

I did like Jones' comment of "I'd like to go to a playoff contender" - all playoff contenders collectively - "thanks but no thanks"

If you get a chance, watch the highlight of one of the sacks the Bucs had of Devito. Vita Vea the nose tackle just pushes the center straight back and over the top of the QB. It's a classic. And having been in NFL defensive meetings, that will get played multiple times today at One Buc Place.

The 49ers got found out yesterday. They have the year from hell in terms of injuries. They would need to run the table to get into the post-season now.
The clock reached midnight in Washington and the glass carriage has turned into a pumpkin.
Anyone want to send Jerry Jones some more highlights of Saquan Barkley?
And Miami fans can only celebrate if they survive their game in Green Bay on Thursday night.

It's the hope that kills you. We suddenly have a new ball control offense that should travel to cold weather but I'm thinking they will more than likely embarrass themselves on national tv like 95% of the other times.

How 'bout them Dolphins?!!!!! :):):):)
Let's wait and see. Lose Thursday and it's fire Grier, McDaniel and Tua but if they win it's...

Same old Dolphins. At least I’m getting an extra 90 minutes in bed as there is no need to watch the 2nd half.

Not one redeeming thing from that first half, a total team failure.

Thursday night thoughts - man did I cook a great Thanksgiving dinner for a virtual meal with my friends in Florida over facetime.
Chicago - Eberflus is gone - that was a fireable offence (yes correct spelling there) for the way they finished.
Detroit - how the hell did they lose to the Bucs in Week 2? (they gave it away to us actually) - the road to the NFC title goes through the Motor City.
Dallas - is there anything more annoying in the NFL this season (and that includes Phoebe former Buffalo coach Schecter) than the Cowboys' cadence call of "here we go"?
NY Giants - racing the Raiders to the bottom of the NFL power rankings - Mike Lombardi ripped them a new one on his excellent GM Shuffle podcast this week
Green Bay - there is no more iconic sight in the game than Lambeau at night and the Pack in their home colours.
Miami - showed some fight in the second half but this cold weather thing is becoming serious now. The Bucs went 26 years without winning in under 40 degrees (which included one home game). We ended that in the 2002 NFC title game in Philly. Miami are not a playoff team.

When we did the Thanksgiving games on Sky back in the day, we always had a turkey brought in. Normally the production staff were up in their booth and we never saw them, just two bored cameramen. When the food was there, the set was like sale day at IKEA.

Moving into the NHL just for a moment - bizarre goal in the Lightning v Capitals game Wednesday night when the Washington goalie put the puck into his own net. It was not an own goal. Credit goes to the last offensive player to touch the puck which was Brayden Point along the boards. It was actually his hat-trick goal. Shame my Bolts lost 5-4 in the end but this goal will be shown for years to come. Anyone remember Gary Sprake of Leeds United throwing the ball into his own net in the 70s?

Shame the BBC did not have the TNT commentary rights from the game - Darren Pang lost his mind over it calling the game from between the benches.

For Miami it's not so much cold weather, it's just good teams. The good teams on the schedule happen to be cold weather teams and the games are mostly on the road. It's the usual story of getting dominated on both LOS, OL committing numerous penalties as they are so outmatched, falling behind early due to the defense not being able to stop anyone and our coach then going all Madden to try and get points back that lead to more offensive penalties.

I think Miami might have set a new record for missed tackles in a game last night as I read they had 20 missed tackles. That will surely put to bed the claim by Deshon Elliot (safety last year for Miami) that the Dolphins are soft.

You should look at how many points Miami gives up on the road, it's hilariously bad. Going into every road game against a decent team knowing you need to score 30 to have a chance puts a bit of pressure on you.
