That fumble was caused by Seattle. There's not much Calvin could have done about it. It was just a good play by the defense. And there should have been a call on the Seahawks for intentionally hitting the ball out of the back of the endzone after the fumble.
Despite the fact that Russell Wilson was running around like a greased pig all night and your defense shut the Lions down, that one almost slipped away from you.

Yeah, there should have been a call there I think, though I'm not certain of the exact wording of the rule so I can't be sure.
Our offense was pretty shitty, our O line is fucking terrible compared to last year. You're right, that very easily could have slipped away.

A few years ago we had the butt fumble. Now we have the butt catch. Anybody see it? Pretty crazy.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Brandon Weeden will do that to ya.

Sucks, man. I feel for you, but this seems more a problem with your personnel management.
Scobee was an accurate kicker. We acquired his contract via a trade, because Suisham went down in the HOF game because he is trying to make sideline tackles in the most pointless of the preseason games. Then Garrett Hartley goes down with a hammy pull two weeks later. We acquire Scobee from the Jags, but his contract comes with him. The Jags agree to pay $900k of his $3 mil salary. $2 mil is average for an established veteran kicker.
If you cut a player, his guaranteed salary is still due. Scobee's guaranteed salary was close to $1 mil, but we now have to pay Jacksonville's $900k because they did not agree to pay dead money.
Kickers for the Steelers have to kick in Heinz field, which is the toughest field to kick in due to the confluence of the Monongahela, Ohio, and Allegheny rivers right outside the stadium and the winds that ensue and enter the open end of the stadium. Suish was awesome at it. He was the most accurate kicker in Steelers history. His ACL tear was fucking heartbreaking.

Somebody had to lose. Too bad it couldn't be both. 
So I'm thinking Seattle's out of contention already. Bah.

Jason Garret isn't a good coach and Brandon Weeden is a shitty QB. It was inevitable, IMO.
The good news for you is that the NFC East, as always, is a dumpster fire, so the Cowboys aren't completely out of it yet.

Yay Patriots 
It's all coming together for the shitshow that is the Eagles to reclaim their rightful place on top of the NFC East with a home win over the Giants next Monday night

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
