NFL 2012

[Shannow]

ok wtf. Gotta love the NFL season.

Continueing my 'I'm still terrified of the Giants' thoughts, I personally think they went out and lost to the Falcons on purpose. All part of some grand plan by coughlin to get their backs to the wall and playing like desperate men going into the playoffs. I will not believe otherwise until I see the Giants actually knocked out of the playoffs.

The Pats? Well um , heh, urr....eek? The apologists here are saying that 'this is actually good for them, will help come playoff time'. God I hope they are right because they played some shit football last night. Defense looked like it had regressed to 2009, turnovers galore, shitty special teams. blargh.
Holy fuck Colin Kapernick....how is this a team that can't even beat the St. Loius. Rams.
wtf wtf wtf.

Maybe that Denver / GB thing will come true. fuck.

[Shannow]

Oh and New England in Denver for the second round of the playoffs.(yes the colts might beat the Ravens) ...Don't like our chances.

[01101010]

Adrian Peterson. Coming back from the knee thing is one thing... to threaten the single season rushing record in the same season? That guy is a god damn cyborg.

And this time Denver will HOST the event. :D

[WayAbvPar]

The one fucking time since the Steve Grogan days that I root for the Pats and they shit all over themselves. Fuck Emperor Belichick, and fuck Uggs Boy. Cunts.

The problem is you have a new offensive coordinator who doesn't get it, and got fired from the Chiefs (why you hired this asshole I have no idea).

There are plenty of head coaching busts* who are excellent as coordinators (Josh McDaniels**, Wade Phillips, Mike Nolan, etc.) and Haley had a good run as offensive coordinator at the Cardinals so it's not surprising the Steelers picked him to replace Bruce Arians.

* though compared to Crennel, Haley's time would be consider the "glory years" having won the AFC West in 2010, and the real problem in KC is Scott Pioli

** who is likely to get another shot at a head coaching job given the league leading offense at NE currently

[Paelos]

I'd love to see McDaniel get another shot, if only for the comedy. The only thing that makes that offense work is Brady.

NE under McDaniels #1 in scoring
NE under Bill O'Brien #3 in scoring
Hell in 2009 I don't even think they HAD an offensive coordinator and they were #6 in the league in scoring. If that's not an indictor, I don't know what is.

[Trippy]

They've taken it to another level, though, this year with their "one word" no-huddle offense that they "borrowed" from Chip Kelly (actually he consulted with them on it). They started using it last season (under O'Brien) but they weren't very good at it back then (needed more practice with it). A coach that can teach that to a team is going to be in demand.

[HaemishM]

Ask Sam Bradford how good a fucking OC Josh McDaniels is. That motherfucker almost ended Bradford's fucking career. He's as bad as goddamn Mike Martz. He can get a shitload of offense out of decent talent, but the QB is going to get his shit pushed in doing it.

Also, TEBOW.

[Paelos]

I don't buy Chip Kelly's hurry up nonsense in the NFL. I barely buy in college when you face a team that plays defense at all.

But people love big numbers, so the hype train rolls on.

[Segoris]

I'm going to go ahead and call it now. Kirk Cousins will be Arizona's starting QB next year. Or somebody's because he isn't going to start in Washington short of RGIII's death or retirement and he's looking like he deserves to start. For all their lack of talent at wideout, their defense is solid and Washington owned them. The offseason is going to be a fun one for trades/free agent QB's because right now I see Matt Flynn, Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins being seriously hot commodities. Arizona, KC, Minnesota, Tennessee, Jacksonville, the Raiders (maybe), Baltimore (maybe), and Philiadelphia (maybe), they are all going to be looking for a starter and there isn't much in the draft to be excited about.

I actually wonder about the Cousins thing. It could be really profitable for WAS to trade him to one of those teams, but it would be smart to keep him at least for another year and see how RG3 is next year as he and Morris are in 2013. If there is a decline in either of them, it could be problematic, or if RG3 keeps running how he has been and gets hurt again that could also be an issue.

PACKERS WIN THE NORTH. Cutler sacked 4 more times, looks like his neck/shoulder may be hurting more than he's letting on. Minnesota leapfrogs the Bears in the wildcard spot. These are all good things.

I'm happy for Petersonn, I am, and hope he does finish the last two games like he did on Sunday and breaks the record. Regarding GB winning the North, Minn taking over the wild card, and Cutler......EAD

[Segoris]

There was some noise going around about McDaniels landing in Chi today.....I found that funny given our QB and WR1 with their history with McD.

[Paelos]

Oh please be true. That would be a trainwreck.

[Segoris]

No no, we're at capacity on train wrecks from what I can tell. This is based on how many times I see our offensive line laying dead in front of Cutler as he is getting ran over

[sickrubik]

No no, we're at capacity on train wrecks from what I can tell. This is based on how many times I see our offensive line laying dead in front of Cutler as he is getting ran over

Speaking as the qualified fan here... you do not want McDaniels in Chicago. That is a train wreck you haven't seen yet.

[Segoris]

Yeah, I have no desires for him to be in Chi. I don't think it would happen and found this rumor to be funny.

[sickrubik]

Yeah, I have no desires for him to be in Chi. I don't think it would happen and found this rumor to be funny.

There's nothing funny about it. FEAR.

[Paelos]

I mostly believe there are no unwatchable matchups in the NFL. That one team would at least have a star, or a highlight creator, or a great facet of the game where they really performed well.

This Titans v. Jets game made me question that. Then Chris Johnson showed up.  

[Abagadro]

Don't forget watching Failbow.

[Paelos]

Tebow doesn't fail. He merely struggles valiantly against the odds.  

EDIT: And one of my friends has the text of the night to me about the shitty Sanchize: YOU GET A PICK, AND YOU GET A PICK, EVERYONE GETS A PICK! IT'S MARKY'S FAVORITE THINGS!

EDITx2: Ugliest game I've seen all year. No doubt about it. So bad that Tirico couldn't stop calling it an ugly game. Sanchez turns it over 4 times. The Jets will implode after this. Out of playoffs. Out of contention. Embarrassing on all offensive facets.

[Nevermore]

Mike Tirico.   

[Paelos]

Actually Sanchez turned it over 5 times if you count the dropped snap at the end when they STILL had a shot. LULZ!

[Nevermore]

Yeah, it was Tirico's call on that fumble that got my 

[Paelos]

My favorite quote of the night was when Gruden said, "All we have is one highlight for the first half? Wow, I guess that means we really need to break it down and do our job!"

[Rasix]

Football does not get worse than that. 

On the bright side, it was a bit funny to watch.

[Malakili]

That ending literally had me laughing out loud.

[sickrubik]

That ending literally had me laughing out loud.

Okay, I missed the end of the game, but I've heard something hilarious happened... so.. what?

Edit: Found it.

Jesus.

[Abagadro]

Needs more Yakkity Sax.

[Abagadro]

Also, hardcore pigeon.

[Ingmar]

Football does not get worse than that. 

Sounds like you missed Cal-Washington this year.

NFL football?  And that really was a God awful game.  I thought the Jests couldn't do any worse than the "game" they played against Arizona.  The this happened.  What a perfect way to end your season, too.

[Malakili]

It was just all the better because I was thinking, "After that terrible punt, as shitty as they've played, they might actually do this" and then THAT happened.  It was just so perfect.

[HaemishM]

No no, we're at capacity on train wrecks from what I can tell. This is based on how many times I see our offensive line laying dead in front of Cutler as he is getting ran over

Speaking as the qualified fan here... you do not want McDaniels in Chicago. That is a train wreck you haven't seen yet.

Could the Chicago front office be liable for manslaughter charges once McDaniels blocking schemes get Cutler LITERALLY KILLED? I don't care how many passes Cutler completed to Marshall, with the Bears O line as bad as it is now, McDaniels would make it insanely bad. Might score a few more TD's before Cutler gets hauled off as a torso with his limbs in bags next to him.

As a Packers' fan, I wholeheartedly endorse this move.  

Mark Sanchez... oh Mark Sanchez. 4 INT's, 1 TD, 13/28 and 4.7 yards per pass. Is there really any doubt now that this guy cannot hack it in the NFL or at least not on this team? I love that they brought Tebow out for a series (of failure) and then Sanchez stinks it up even worse. How did anybody on the Jets' front office and coaching staff NOT SEE THIS COMING? How did they even win 6 games? And as bad as they were, how did the Titans only beat them 14-10 with the Jets giving away FIVE FUCKING TURNOVERS? Could the Titans be in the market for a QB next year too?

At least now we don't have to worry about the Jets making the playoffs.

EDIT: And I get great pleasure in knowing that while Sanchez flubbed the snap, Greene kicked it forever out of his grasp.

[naum]

That ending literally had me laughing out loud.

Edit: Found it.

Jesus.

O, what a hilarious game. Had I not went out to the local pub with some others (main attraction being pizza / wings / salad buffet), would have missed this royal comedy.  Jets kept giving it away yet Titans could never seal the deal. On and on until the last embarrassing play here. :D

[ghost]

To be just a little fair to Mark, that was a super shitty snap.
