So how many teams took a dive yesterday??

Seems to be a common story coming out on Monday, as it appears that teams, either on league orders (Cleveland) or otherwise, did some pretty head-scratching things:
  • Cleveland was the play-calling (seriously, a DRAW on 4th and 9???  Four passes from the 4 when you need a touchdown in the last minute and get nothing to consummate the loss???) and an offensive line which was allowing literal JAILBREAKS on pass rushes.  Between the fines for dirty play and OBJ -- plus the Rams angle -- it's pretty clear where the league wanted THAT ONE to go.
  • Brian Tuohy found this one:
DA FUQ???

If that was the case if you were on a hashmark in college, I could see it.  But that was a 26 yard field goal to WIN THE MOTHERFUCKING GAME!

But, as Brian points out, the league needs something to go right in New York...
  • The Seahawks, AT HOME, botch the game clock and get run by the Brees-less Saints.
  • The Denver Broncos just could not get out of their own way against the Pack...
I mean, how many of these games were literally teams just taking a fucking dive for one reason or another?  I count two definites here -- and two more possibles...
