It was an emotional Week 14 of the NFL season that began with news of the tragic passing of Demaryius Thomas. We share our thoughts his life and career and how he is an inspiration for so many people.
And after looking back more into Week 14, we'll discuss a long overdue coaching move as the Jaguars fired Urban Meyer. It's been well publicized what went wrong in Jacksonville, but why wasn't this done sooner? Will this go down as the worst head coaching hire in NFL history? Plus, we look at the potential candidates for the jab and discuss who the Jags should hire... and who WILL they hire.
Then it's on to our not-so-expert analysis and predictions for Week 15. With no more bye weeks, it's on to the stretch run as the postseason approaches.

After a horrible week of picks, most of us managed to recover this week, but we now have a new leader and it is still anyone's game with 7 weeks to go.
It's a loaded episode as we look back on Week 11, discuss who the contenders and pretenders (and spoilers) are, and provide our not-so expert analysis and predictions for Week 12.
And while all this is going on, Nori continues to celebrate the firing of Jason Garrett.
Plus, we discuss the UTSA Roadrunners and JC explains why the Titans losing to the Texans should surprise no one.
