NFL 2013

[K9]

um... Texans?

[sickrubik]

Kubiak had a good run in Houston... but given the fans reactions and that start... he's going to be looking for a job soon.

[Rasix]

edit: image seems to have gone haywire.  Ohh well.

[Paelos]

The NFL is completely bananas this year.

[sickrubik]

The ending of that NE/NO game was pretty ridiculous.

The ending of that NE/NO game was pretty ridiculous.

Tom Brady sorta pulled a rabbit out of his ass on that one. The Saints offense can only blame themselves. I love it when that conservative bullshit bites teams in the ass.

[K9]

That was one of the craziest drives I have ever seen. It's stuff like that that shows why Brady is considered elite; amazing bit off football right there.

[Paelos]

Side note, Boston fans are still terrible. Half that stadium was gone and Troy called them out on it during the broadcast. Thing of beauty.

[Nevermore]

Not as bad as the Texans fans, who cheered as Schaub limped off the field.  The pick-six that Yates promptly threw was karma biting them in the ass.

Yeah, considering Schaub had a good game prior to the injury. Classless fans.

[HaemishM]

After hearing about Schaub getting a cheer for being injured, FUCK THE TEXANS this year. JUST FUCK THEM IN THE EARHOLE. That is classless shit. Enjoy being perennial almost-made-its fucktards. Your team is much more terrible than it has any right to be with the talent that is on that team and after that bit of douchery, I hope the entire team just quits on this season.

The Packers beat the Ravens by the skin of their teeth, and lost two of their starting wideouts in the process. No word on how long either Cobb or Jones will be out either, though indications are that the Cobb injury isn't as serious as first thought. I cringed hard when I saw that helmet to the knee live - my first thought was WELP, there goes the ACL. I can't believe they only dressed 4 wideouts for that game. The 4th was Boykin and he SUCKED IT HARD. Hope if either of those guys is out for any length of time they get some street free agents who can run a route or catch a damn ball. The good news was how well the defense did without Clay Matthews. AJ Hawk got three sacks, and there were 2 others. The coverage remains a problem though, specifically at safety. Jeron McMillan is just not good in coverage. That game wasn't even close except for about 4 deep passes with coverage that got blown HARD.

That New Orleans/New England game was just fucking nuts. New Orleans has no one to blame but themselves for losing it. You don't give Tom Brady a chance to make a 4th quarter drive.

Washington/Dallas happened about like I expected. Having seen RGIII in two games this year, I really think they have rushed him back WAY too soon. Would it really hurt them to have Kirk Cousins start a few games and let RG3 heal? He's getting better but he's obviously not even close to being the runner he was before. Sit him for a few games, let Cousins have a shot. They already aren't going to win this year even in the weakass NFC East. Putting your fragile franchise QB out there is just asking for him to take another shot to his knee. Cousins looked good and can lead this team as well while the kid rests. I mean, if Griffin IS the franchise's future, why risk him in a year when you are hamstrung by a huge salary cap penalty? If Cousins sucks, you can put RGIII back in and if Cousins does well, he's going to be a HUGE trade commodity for next year's draft, on a year when you aren't hindered by the salary cap. The only reason I can see them putting that kid out there is to sell tickets which is really stupid, short-sighted thinking.

So only Denver and KC are left undefeated. Who saw that coming? Also, Minnesota is dogshit and will likely be coached by someone else next year. Weedon's final INT in that game with the Lions yesterday was SO LOLWORTHY.

Someone pulled something out of somewhere, certainly.

[Fordel]

What is the GIF showing me?

[ghost]

Maybe a hold/facemask?

[MrHat]

My fav from this weekend.

[Trippy]

What is the GIF showing me?

One of the safeties not helping the corner on the winning TD throw.

[Tannhauser]

Lets see how I do on Sundays games:

Lions over Browns
Broncos over Jags
KC over Oak
Car over Min
GB over Ravens
Pitt over Jets
Bengals over Bills
Eagles over TB
Texans over STL
Seattle over Titans
Saints over NE
Niners over AZ
Boys over Wash

Looks like I went 11-2 with the Texans and Saints losing.  Damn I'm good, someone put a camera on me!

Texans need to fire the coach with all the talent they have on the field.  Oh and fuck those fans.  I really thought they had the AFC South but they are chump bitches.  With the Titans having a good team lead by a horrific QB, looks like the Colts, in week 6, have the South.

[ghost]

There is absolutely a hold on that play.

[Trippy]

Ah, yeah.

Edit: no flag no foul

[Ingmar]

The blatant hold was the thing I was pointing out. Note that there is a ref with pretty much that same view who held onto his flag for some reason.

Last play, no way. 

[Shannow]

You could basically call a hold on every offensive snap. See the Tyree helmet catch in the Superbowl for example. (not that I'm bitter or anything)

Also watch the secondary play on the Saints go ahead touchdown, how the fuck does the Pats corner not bat that pass down??

Bad enough giving Brady one chance, let alone three chances at a comeback drive.

[ghost]

That was clearly a hold that should have been called.  They always say that the refs "shouldn't change the game", but by not calling that it changed the game. 

[HaemishM]

So the Chargers can run the ball, and the Colts can't stop the run to save their lives. Who knew?

Paelos Power Rankings Week 6:

1 - Denver
2 - Seattle
3 - KC
4 - NE
5 - New Orleans
6 - SF
7 - Indy
8 - Detroit
9 - Chicago
10 - Dallas

[HaemishM]

I might quibble about the order a bit, but the only one on there I would have a problem with is Dallas. I'd put Cincy or San Diego on there before or at about the same level as Dallas.

I gave Dallas the nod for their point differential against better competition.

[ghost]

Realistically, Dallas, Cincinnati and San Diego all suck.  No need to argue about shite teams.

[sickrubik]

Even with Indy's issues yesterday, I think I am preparing myself of the Broncos first loss, even with Miller coming back.

That's patently ridiculous. Indy can't stop the run, and Moreno is at the top of his game right now. Inside the red zone, Indy is doomed against Denver's attack.

SD isn't exactly a top defense, and they put a halt to whatever Indy wanted to do. They looked sloppy and were getting pressured constantly. Denver can bring the house and afford to gamble.

Here's what I want to know... where the fuck did you get your insight on picking games this year?  I know a couple of guys that handicap football and both are having a terrible time picking winners.   You've been on fire.

Despite all the injuries, I'd probably still put Green Bay in above Detroit and Chicago, and kick Dallas out. I'd also put KC under NE and NO, but otherwise I agree.

The last two weeks have shown very distinct issues with the Broncos banged up offensive line and plenty of issues with the zone scheme we've been using in the secondary. We're going to have to move multiple people along that O-Line at the same time and hope that it works.

If we can score early and keep the momentum going, we'll be fine... struggle like we did with tempo and scheme like we did against Jacksonville? We'll be in major trouble. Indy's D is a lot tougher than Jax's, and JAX put Manning in the dirt and hurried him several times. If Indy can play with a similar scheme, we'll struggle.

My commentary is more about the Broncos than Indy.

[Paelos]

They were overlooking the Jags, no matter what they said.

You don't think Peyton will have the entire team ready for the return game to Indy? If they can't overcome that emotional hurdle, they will lose in the playoffs when the heat is on.

[HaemishM]

How did I not notice you didn't have Green Bay in the top 10? You are crazy for that alone. Green Bay is top to bottom a better team than Dallas in just about every possible way, and they are better than both Detroit and Chicago. Yes, they are missing two wideouts for potentially weeks (Cobb may be 6-8 weeks, Jones might be back this weekend) but I don't think that hurts them enough to drop them out of the top 10.
