Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets Game Thread
December 11th, 2011
afcbeast Just like they do every week at this point, the Jets face a must win situation this Sunday as they host the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City comes limping into this game with a 5-7 record, which somehow puts them within striking range in the AFC West. They are struggling to generate much of anything [...]
Create-a-caption: Six 49ers, one football
November 24th, 2011
afcbeast Being at the bottom of a fumble pile is my idea of torture. Not as bad as being forced to watch “Monday Night Football” from the “Clockwork Orange” chair, but pretty bad. Somewhere beneath that pile of San Francisco 49ers is Arizona Cardinals punt returner Patrick Peterson. The rookie fumbled a punt in Sunday’s game and [...]

afcbeast Use this as a new thread for the Jets-Raiders game. I’m posting this now because the scheduled game thread doesn’t seem to be coming about on time and the other is overflowed.

The Mike Tice Promotion is Doomed to Fail
That’s right, I said doomed. But before you furiously type out some rant-like rebuttal in the comments section, read through my reasoning behind this.
