NFL Sunday Football: Open Thread

PrintCozy up in your favorite seat, grab your beverage of choice, make sure your fantasy rosters are set (if you're in the playoffs) and join us here in Da Chronic's open thread for all of today's NFL action.
The Saints don't play until tomorrow night, obviously, so take a break from watching "A Christmas Story" for the fourteenth time, turn on the NFL game in your area and join us here for some fun in-game chatter.
On FOX, I will be watching the San Francisco @ St. Louis, a huge NFC West matchup that could determine who will win the division and who the Saints will play in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, the all-important Seattle @ Tampa Bay game will not be shown here in New Orleans. That game is critically important because if the Bucs lose, the Saints are automatically in the playoffs, regardless of what happens on the field tomorrow. So someone will have to be in this thread keeping us all updated!
Make the jump for a full list of today's games. To find out which game will be showing in your neck of the woods, click here and get the full broadcasting maps for all your NFL Week 16 action.

Too bad they postponed the Vikes game.
Love watching football in raw conditions.

I'm ready to see us kick the falcons butt
But until them I’m watching the Jets/Bears game surrounded by Bears fans
Come on Jets

I'm tuning into the Rams-9ers game, too
Wife is from St. Louis, so we gotta root for the Rams. I’ll have the laptop open to monitor other games, as well.
It's gonna be a great year.
my local game is Jags-Redskins on Fox, followed by NYG-GBPackers
not sure why it’s not 10-4 collision of Jets-Bears early
CBS is open in the early game as they’ll show Colts-Raiders late. We’re close to Indy, Cincy, and Nashville, but it seems the Colts rule the roost as far as local favorite/max exposure
It's gonna be a great year.

Go up by 7 on our first drive then play like we’re 7 points behind and there’s a minute left for the rest of the game!

Saints would rather play the Rams indoors than the 49’rs outdoors, right?

Every time he touches the ball they are going for a strip
because he fumbles a lot lately

Needs to talk to Tom Coughlin, or carry that 14 lb football around like A Peterson did.
well, i don't wanna be a failure mama, i don't wanna cry
it does
But he’s hardly fumbled at all this year.
well, i don't wanna be a failure mama, i don't wanna cry
rotoworld.com:
Adrian Peterson-RB – Vikings Dec. 24 – 11:26 am et Adrian Peterson doesn’t have a single fumble this season on 280 offensive touches. Amazing. Peterson led the league with 20 fumbles the past three seasons including 16 from 2008-2009 and two more in the NFC Championship contest at New Orleans last January. Peterson worked with a sand-filled, 14-pound football last offseason to improve his ball control.
well, i don't wanna be a failure mama, i don't wanna cry
I think it's more when he gets the nerves
like a playoff game. He then tries too hard………….

Hasn’t had the opportunity to play in any big games this year…
If I am good I could add years to my life / I would rather add some life to my years.
Thats what I was thinking
Nothing to play for other than pride………and no pressure.
My Magnificent Black and Gold Warriors
Glad I tuned in..I was confused- wanted to root for StL, but
SF is bad, no Gore and maybe I should root for them. But reading above, it would be best if Saints played indoors if they are a Wildcard (they won’t be!) . Either StL or SF would be ok- but I also think in the big picture it’s better they travel to Stl than west coast for playoff game.
If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress? Congress!
-Men's Restroom - House of Representatives, Washington, DC
Thats my way of thinking but,
San Fran 14 on two plays……………..Rams 12 on 30 plays.
My Magnificent Black and Gold Warriors
I am still hoping and thinking and praying Saints will win NFC South, BUT
wouldn’t it be cool if they were 5th seed and went to NFC Championship game vs Giants or Packers or TB (whoever was 6th seed) and the game was in NOLA? Could happen. Bears, Eagles, Rams (NFC West ) are far from unbeatable!
If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress? Congress!
