NFL Post-Game Handshakes, Week 14: Cam Cameron Out in Baltimore, Robert Griffin III’s Knee, and David Wilson’s Speed
This week’s Post-Game Handshakes go to Robert Griffin’s knee for being limber and made of elastic. David Wilson gets a high five for emerging from the Coughlin doghouse long enough to score 3 touchdowns, while the Cowboys and Jets are still alive, y’all.
Cam Cameron Out in Baltimore: News coming out of Baltimore this morning is that Cam Cameron has been let go as offensive coordinator, replaced by quarterbacks coach (and former Colts coach and professional statue) Jim Caldwell. Cameron had been constantly criticized in Baltimore for his play calling. Some of that stemmed from frustration about his use of Ray Rice. With two straight losses, the time had finally come.
The NFC East Will Be Wild: Dallas got the road victory they dearly needed, coming from 9 points down to win at Cincinnati. Washington survived the Baltimore game, and now we wait to see how many games Robert Griffin III will miss with three games left. The Giants took the field with only a half game lead, but were able to get a big game out of Eli Manning and a boost from David Wilson (see below). Because of the earlier loss to Philadelphia, the Giants are not situated well if there is a tie atop the division.
Atlanta comes back down to earth: Cam Newton’s sophomore slump continues, as Carolina won 30-20 after jumping to a 23-0 lead over Atlanta. Newton is now on pace to put up virtually identical passing yard and touchdown numbers, and about a half yard more per attempt, and more rushing yards but fewer touchdowns than 2011. The Panthers are again 4-9 after 13 games. Over the last four games, he has thrown 8 touchdowns to no interceptions, while averaging over 70 yards rushing. Carolina has been unable to win close games, and this one almost became that with a late rally that was snuffed out when DeAngelo Williams took a screen pass to the end zone.
Atlanta, meanwhile, finally saw some of their sloppy play come back to bite them, and they could not dig out of the early hole. They did nothing to answer critics who say they aren’t as good as the 11-1 record entering the game. They do still control their own destiny to host the NFC playoffs. Two more wins would mathematically clinch it.
Raising the White Flag in Arizona: How bad was it for Arizona? Eight turnovers, two defensive touchdowns for Seattle, and no points scored. 58-0. The Official Arizona Twitter feed is the saddest feed ever.
Favorite tweet here, though, goes to Jason LaCanfora, who reminded us five minutes in that the Cardinals were hanging tough, having only thrown one interception (on only one possession) and managed to hold Seattle to a field goal. “as @AlexFarnworth reminds me, Cards have lost 8 in row. they’re hanging with the Seahawks early.” The hanging did come early, as it turns out.
David Wilson, Breakout Star, With a Kicker. David Wilson had his breakout game for the Giants yesterday, dominating in the kick return game including a kick return touchdown, and adding two rushing scores. He joins Maurice Jones-Drew as the only backs to ever have a kick return touchdown and two rushing touchdowns in the same game.
The last first round running back to have over 1,000 yards as a kick returner was C.J. Spiller, so it is just a glimpse of the big play threat that Wilson can become. And by big play threat, I mean someday coming close to setting a yards per carry record while getting 8 touches in a game. I have a feeling David Wilson will be used by the Giants in a better way than the Bills have managed with Spiller come 2013 and 2014.
Cleveland Still Mathematically Alive With Three Weeks To Go: Break up the Browns! No seriously, break them up, because they just beat Kansas City 30-7, the second largest margin of victory for the current version of the Browns since they re-entered the league in 1999. That’s probably more a commentary on the sad state of the Chiefs than anything. Cleveland, though, is mathematically alive for a playoff spot with three weeks remaining.
Let’s end the suspense, they are not going to make the playoffs. Still, after an 0-5 start, they have gone 5-3, lost another in overtime, and are playing much better defensively.
Meanwhile, the Jets are Mathematically Alive Also: Oh, joy. The Jets are still alive. The remaining schedule is at Tennessee (4-9), vs. San Diego (5-8), and at Buffalo (4-9). They could lose all of those, but could also win them all; not exactly a murderer’s row. New York’s only chance is to get to 9-7, and then likely have Cincinnati win at Pittsburgh and finish ahead of the Steelers in the Central (Pittsburgh beat New York head to head). New York would then have to make up a few wins in strength of victory, or have the Steelers lose another game and the Bengals get their seventh loss against the Ravens as a conference game. I’ll go over the scenarios in greater detail, but suffice it to say–longshot, but not impossible because of the schedule.
All Your Quarterback Touchdown Runs: First, it was Robert Griffin III, then yesterday, Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick both had long touchdown runs. Going back to the NFL merger, there had been seven quarterback runs of 50 or more yards entering this year. That’s in forty-two years. Three so far this year. Oh, and Nick Foles ran for one yesterday too (no video, sorry).
Bears Down: Chicago has now lost four of their last five games to slip to 8-5. Green Bay is up next in Soldier Field. Talk about a huge game. If the Packers come in and win, Green Bay wins the division outright based on clinching the head to head tiebreaker. Chicago would drop to 8-6, and possibly fall out of playoff position with two weeks left and several teams lurking at 7-6. The offense has continued to struggle, and those defensive scores, not surprisingly, have dried up after an amazing start.
FOURTH AND ONE LOG
1. St. Louis converted 4th and 1 on the final drive, before scoring the game winning touchdown to win 15-12 at Buffalo.
2. At the Atlanta 38, up 7-0, Carolina converted on a Cam Newton won, setting up an eventual field goal.
3. On the opening drive, Dallas kicked a field goal from the Cincinnati 19, to take a 3-0 lead. Dallas eventually came back to win on a last second field goal by Bailey, 20-19.
4. Jacksonville converted at the NYJ 24 in the first quarter. Chad Henne threw an interception four plays later inside the 10. In the second quarter, the Jaguars kicked the field goal at the NYJ 13, taking a 3-0 lead. Jacksonville lost 17-10.
5. Trailing 10-0 at their own 47, Pittsburgh went near the end of the second quarter. Isaac Redman was stuffed and Chargers got a field goal (Pittsburgh responded with a matching field goal to end the half).
6. On the final drive, Nick Foles scrambled for a first down with 54 seconds left. Philadelphia scored on the drive to win.

i expect a fine for that helmet to helmet on cutler yesterday
December 10th, 2012 at 11:49 AM
Lisk- Hate to hijack a post I usually read but where would you put Chicago in that list of 5 jobs that were likely to open up this offseason? Looking a bit more likely that the Bears will have a vacancy after the last 3-4 weeks.
They could nullify that by beating Green Bay this weekend but… highly unlikely.
December 10th, 2012 at 11:51 AM
would love to see an offensive minded coach in chicago. that D needs reworking so let’s get off the grindy traditional bears way of thinking and have a decade of 45-38 wins
December 10th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
mike martz is available.
December 10th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Carolina just cost themselves another draft spot to improve that dogshit defense that has lost them all those close games. Good work.
December 10th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I know Chicago’s offensive line is bad joke but have people seriously entertained the possibility that Cutler just isn’t a very good QB?
December 10th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Only every Monday after he has a bad game. So, like 2-3 times a year.
December 10th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
Especially with Woodson, Matthews and Jordy all slated to be back. Was Cutler taken out b/c of the neck injury or another concussion concern?
December 10th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
If you’re going to use that reasoning let’s add Tomlin to the list. I’m tired of the Steelers playing “down” to shitty (or at a minimum less talented) opponents, with L’s to OAK, TEN, SD and CLE (plus KC taking them to OT). I’m also sick of the stupid penalties (like consecutive offsides allowing SD to convert a 3rd and 10), the holding/block in the back that comes on every single return, etc.
December 10th, 2012 at 11:58 AM
but have people seriously entertained the possibility that Cutler just isn’t a very good QB?
sure they have. hard to argue with them based on stats and record. i suppose you could say about any qb that if he had good protection and targets and a consistent OC he’d be good.
cutler has had some of them at some time, but not all three or even two/three at the same time. dude has a laser arm, toughness, pocket awareness, athleticism
also is churlish and relies on that arm to try throws with shitty fundamentals, both of those weaknesses result in turnovers
December 10th, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Tack on Schawartz and Mayhew.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Thats embarrassing. Thankfully a bloated playoff exists where 9-7 gets you in. Beat the Bengals and the other 2 games barely matter. Playoffs!
December 10th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
Nice Foles ran a 5.13 at the combine. After seeing that TD “run” yesterday, I’d hate to see how slow a 5.2+ is.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
frankly, it’s more embarrassing for steeler fans to think their team is above those listed simply because “they’re the steelers.” defense is still good, but that offense is hot garbage with or without a healthy ben. and considering how horrible that OL is, im not sure healthy ben is something that exists for more than six weeks at a time.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
Awesome. The rest of the NHL games for 2012 got canceled. Make a deal now….
December 10th, 2012 at 12:04 PM
If you had to describe the Arizona Cardinals with one word, what would it be?
Mine? Abortion.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:04 PM
But reasoning is that he’s got a brand new boss and is about to not make the playoffs for the 5th time in 6 years. Pittsburgh’s circumstances aren’t really that similar but I could understand why Steelers fans are frustrated and might entertain thoughts of a coaching change.
I like Lovie. I think his team makes the postseason in 2012 if the injuries take place during the Bears first half soft schedule instead of the more difficult portion in the second half. As it stands, they have to beat Arizona (they should) then beat one of GB at home (unlikely) and DET (not going to be easy) on the road.
Phil Emery probably wants to bring in a guy that he sees eye-to-eye with. Not someone he was forced to retain when he was hired.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:07 PM
No it wont. And you’ll lose all hope until the 2nd half of the 4th quarter. Then Bam! Lions collapse.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
but that offense is hot garbage with or without a healthy ben. and considering how horrible that OL is, im not sure healthy ben is something that exists for more than six weeks at a time.
Their offensive issues, even more than with the Bears, seem to be connected to their abysmal o-line. It is and has been the very definition of ‘patchwork’ for the better part of 3 seasons now.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Well, Norval Turner may be available soon.
Be careful what you ask for.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
They’re a mediocre team at best.
The last two weeks the CBS announcers have been going on and on about how the Steelers have the number one defense and the best secondary in the league.
Anybody who actually watches the games would not think that, numbers be damned.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Seriously. To say it was like watching a guy in slo mo would be a gross understatement. That said, it reads as a 10 yard TD run but he was at about the 25 when he took off for the end zone.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Anybody who actually watches the games would not think that, numbers be damned.
I was actually quite shocked to learn that their defense ranked that high. I never would have guessed that this year. The Steelers are in desperate need of a good draft in April.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Well, Norval Turner
maywill be available soon.December 10th, 2012 at 12:13 PM
It’s because they used the yards per game metric. I’m not sure if the stat is out there but I’m willing to be that thanks to the at most times inept Pittsburgh offense, defenses have been dealing with a short field a lot of times. When you look at points given up, they’re a touchdown worse per game than San Francisco (second in yards per game) and they drop to seventh best in the league.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:14 PM
I would be more upset with the Steelers losing to bad teams if starters wern’t dropping like flies with injuries all season long.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:14 PM
I meant opposing offenses, good lord.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:15 PM
I seriously can’t figure out the Giants.
Speaking of coordinators getting fired, Perry Fewell should be on this list with how ATROCIOUS the Giants secondary has been. Yes I am aware that their run D is bad as well, but that secondary is just brutal.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:15 PM
Not really. Deadspin has strangely made protecting Jay Cutler a high priority
The reality is, there are not a whole lot of teams who have dependable O-lines. For some reason Chicago’s has to take the blame for virtually every loss.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:17 PM
would be funny if this Lions team hit a long FG as time expired to bounce CHI out of the playoffs.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Not so fast. He’s already started his December push. Spanos’ love Norv.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Another weird thing about the Steelers game yesterday was how the announcers kept talking about Norv like he was dying in a few months.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:19 PM
And the Steelers are not a bad team, just average like 80% of the league. Name me 5 teams you feel totally comfortable in making the Super Bowl. I can’t
December 10th, 2012 at 12:20 PM

December 10th, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Chicago, Pittsburgh and Dallas couldn’t form a decent offensive line between them.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:21 PM
All shittiness noted, they’ve been without Woodley, Ike Taylor, and Ben. Troy is still limping around and the OLine had some issues (Decastro may come back). If those guys can get healthy over the next month, there’s talent there for a run. And the AFC sucks.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:21 PM
Not a Steelers fan, but must rebut that are allowed the fewest yards per pass attempt in the league and 4th fewest yards per rush in the league.
Of course, forcing turnovers has been a problem.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:22 PM
have allowed. Sorry. Or are allowing.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:22 PM
Chicago, Pittsburgh and Dallas couldn’t form a decent offensive line between them.
I started to do this challenge but gave up. The only person with upside on the Bears’ line is Karimi and it sounds like he’s had a very up and down year. Dallas continues to employ Doug Free…that’s about all you need to know there. The Steelers at least have Pouncey who is halfway decent.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:22 PM
The Eagles need to stop this winning bullshit ASAP.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
I would not be surprised if there isn’t one. Viking player was aiming fo the midsection, then Culter repositioned himself and took it in the face.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
I think it’s safe to say he’s entering the Bob Sanders phase of his career at this point.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
If I was a betting man, I would not touch any NFC playoff games this year. It’s going to be very unpredictable.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
bears receivers bear some blame for crucial drops (davis, jeffrey, marshall, bennett, hester) and overall suckiness (hester), but it just ca;t be good when you turn over OCs so much. what, three in cutler’s time in chicago?
then add in cutler mistakes and the o-line
December 10th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
bet the house on Falcons losing their first game of playoffs.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
Tony Grossi crushing the Bedard Saban/Lombardi story on the radio now. Says he feels Bedard is a respected reported but says this reeks of a Lombardi plant and that Saban flatout despises Mike Lombardi.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:27 PM

December 10th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
i expect a fine for that helmet to helmet on cutler yesterday
I would not be surprised if there isn’t one. Viking player was aiming fo the midsection, then Culter repositioned himself and took it in the face.
sure, either way, no surprise. tough to see their hard and fast standards, especially regarding offensive player ducking into head to heads
December 10th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Even if there a is fine, it won’t matter. $21K for Jared Allen ending Lance Louis’ season didn’t make a shred of difference. Drops in the bucket for these guys.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Calf’s are a bitch man. I hurt mine this summer and wasn’t right for 4 months. You think its feeling a little better so you go for run and BAM, you re-tweak it and youre limping around again.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:29 PM
Grossi: “Saban could end up here. Lombardi could end up here. But there is no way, NO WAY, they would work together.” Said “Lomardi is trying to attach himself to anything.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:29 PM
Did the Colts give him an ill advised contract though?
December 10th, 2012 at 12:32 PM
Jay Cutler’s play makes more sense once you realize he’s the second coming of Jeff George only somewhere along the line it was decided he was a top end QB and everyone went along with it
December 10th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Awww…someone all mad that their team couldn’t beat an essentially quarterbackless team yesterday?
December 10th, 2012 at 12:35 PM

George’s stat lines were always so at odds with the end result. Like in ’97 with the Raiders. I mostly remember him talking about how good-looking he was when he got washed out of Indy (I think?). Forgot the context but that always made me laugh.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
The calvary is coming back next week hopefully…the real hope come postseason then is that they avoid the Giants at all costs

December 10th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Packers are doing a 2010 redux season. Play inconsistently, have crap loads of injuries, and Rodgers goes off in the playoffs. I’m also assuming that the Jordy/Matthews/Woodson trio comes back to end the Bears season this weekend.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Boffo.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:43 PM
you’d fire the defensive coordinator because the secondary is awful? I think most teams in that situation would look at the position coach, but whatever.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
Upset that some hillbilly cokehead didn’t miss a game for throwing a block at a player’s head when the player wasn’t looking.
That win didn’t mean a thing to Minnesota other than worsening their draft stock. The loss improved the Bears draft stock and made a bit clearer the Bears prospects on an otherwise unclear season to this point. Chicago is a middle of the road team that may not make the playoffs. Should they qualify, they won’t make any noise. The only thing that would do is save Lovie Smith’s job.

December 10th, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Kubiak is not to be trusted.
He seems decent at calling a game for 2.5 quarters but the Texans don’t seem to play well with the lead. But they do play well from behind so there’s that.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Like that would’ve mattered. Bears o-line is a bigger sieve than Dan Cloutier in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Griffin, Robison and K-Will were getting into the backfield the whole game.
Which is all meaningless because the 2013 draft sucks.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Which is bizarre. That team should be built to choke fools out with that running game and D.

December 10th, 2012 at 12:50 PM
Which is bizarre. That team should be built to choke fools out with that running game and D.
The D has taken some hits to its depth. We’re getting thin at LB. Jonathan Joseph does look like he’s going to start tonight though so that’ll help the secondary, which was relying upon Albert Ball to cover Calvin Johnson in Detroit and then had to dig even deeper to Roc Carmichael against the Titans.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:50 PM
6) A warm body next to Kevin Williams. Hopefully another guy named Williams.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:51 PM
I’ve got the Pats tonight, though I think it means little for the results if they meet in the playoffs. i just think BB wants to make a statement and had time to prepare. If the Texans win solidly tonight, that says much more about the Pats than it does the Texans. BB doesn’t lose these games if he has the better team.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:52 PM
Can’t believe you didn’t mention AP Lisk.
Dude has 1600 yards and is averaging 6.0 a carry. He has more rushing yards than his qb has passing yards.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
The other thing is that the Pats defense should really get better over the next few weeks, as the new players integrate. I fully expect McCourty at safety to really shore up that secondary, and at least prevent the 3-4 facepalm plays per game. Even with the injuries on offense (Bolden might play tonight, I think), this will be a very telling game for the team.
December 10th, 2012 at 12:57 PM
The Giants or Seahawks are going to roll the Falcons.

December 10th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
I think the Texans have to play a perfect game tonight to win. One turnover, missed FG, etc would make the difference between a win and a loss. I think Brady might shred the secondary, hope I’m wrong though. I’ll take NE by 4, but I hope the Texans win.

How many is Flacco missing? 5?
Flacco was thawed out in a lab and is actually about 11,000 years old.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa….. Flacco is the most elite/clutcheriest QB in the league right now. Plus, he had a fumanchu. It takes advanced chromosomes to even pull that shit off.

flacco once won a staring contest with the sun.

I wonder what the real answer is. I really don’t care for Talib, and he reminds me of a crappier Asante, but because of the safety situation and McCourty’s struggles, I’d say it moved the Pats from 10% to 20% or so. I don’t necessarily think they are the best team, but experience and coaching has to be worth a few percentage points over a near-rookie QB (SF), late game coaching mistakes (Kubiak), and FLOLacco (Denial is apparently a suburb of Baltimore).

I believe Queefer is the Mayor

I still am really pleased I got him to answer the question about Monk’s draft comments.
We complained about the refs blowing another big call yesterday.

all in favor of queefer changing his name to ‘queef of denial’ say aye.

As a Bengals fan, by all means I hope the Steelers fire Tomlin

I hope any team other than the Pats make it to the Super Bowl. Variety is the spice of life, and I’m tired of seeing the Giants beat the Pats in the big game.

Mole that was a slow burn on that.
