Not trying to be a homer here but the number of uncalled facemasks by the refs tonight makes me think I'm watching the Bears play the Patriots. Dallas is getting away with a crapload of major penalties. 
On the fumble there by Montgomery, that was a facemask. No call. And instead, it's given to Dallas.

I'm conflicted - I don't know who I want to lose more. Dallas, because Dallas, or Chicago, because I wasted a higher round FFB draft pick on Montgomery who's been a steaming pile of fantasy disappointment.
Bears are killing it though, I'll give them that. You can almost hear Jerry Jones typing the "you're fired" email to Garrett through the TV.

So who wins coach of the year? Nagy again? 
Shanahan has been doing a excellent job, as has Harbaugh. Payton made sure the Saints didn't falter despite losing Brees for several weeks.
Tomlin has willed his team to being in the hunt for the playoffs despite relying on backups at the skill position players. I think he might win it given how they are managing to do so well, also in spite of losing AB and Leveon.

Cowboys are fucking shit. Fucking shit.
How the fuck Garrett still has a job is beyond me, as well as 10 million other people around here thinking the same thing. Granted, the players are part of the problem just as much though.

An unmotivated team from top to bottom. The worst tackling I've ever seen in a defense. The offensive line blocking is horrendous. That team is a wreck!

I noticed some players now play the... "UGH! MY HEAD!!" immediately right after being tackled hard by staying laid down holding their head/helmet, even when there weren't any helmet to helmet contact 
This is like the flopping act to draw flagrant foul in the NBA

And then there's Lev Bell 
So glad we're rid of that jackass
Le’Veon Bell was too ill to bowl over Dolphins defenders on Sunday afternoon, but not to knock down some pins late Saturday.
The Jets running back, who missed Sunday’s win because of the flu, spent Saturday night at a New Jersey bowling alley, according to sources. One source also had photos that show Bell at his lane.
Bell missed practice Thursday and Friday and was ruled out of the game on Saturday because he was dealing with the flu. Jets coach Adam Gase said the team sent him home Friday to avoid getting other players sick. Gase also said Bell was not present at Saturday’s team walk-through. He was not seen at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, when the Jets beat the Dolphins 22-21.
Apparently he felt well enough to bowl a few frames Saturday, though. Sources said he was at Boonton Lanes, which is not far from where the Jets train in New Jersey, from around 10:30 p.m. to close to 1 a.m., when the bowling alley closed. Bell was easy to spot in orange leather pants.
Bell’s party had alcohol on its table, but it was unclear if Bell himself was drinking. An eyewitness said Bell seemed to be having a good time bowling and had a driver outside keeping a white Mercedes-Benz warm for him.
