NFL 2012 Season Thread

[#1-norm-fan]

What Formula is this based upon, too lazy to go find it.


I'm doing a weekly "Power Poll" based on the strength of who teams have beaten and lost to. Basically, I started each team out ranked 1-32 based on their records from last season. From then on, points are awarded based on the outcome of each teams game.

For example, if a team beats the current lowest ranked team in the league, they get 1 point. If they beat the highest ranked team in the league, they get 32 points and so on. However, if they lose to the lowest ranked team in the league they lose 32 points. Losing to the highest ranked team in the league only loses you 1 point and so on. That way points are rewarded specifically on who you've beaten and how good they were when you beat them.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol, dunno how the Rams are 5th, but woooooo

Their wins came against Arizona when they were undefeated, a good, high ranked Seattle team and Washington who looked strong after starting the season with a win over New Orleans so they got some good points from those wins. Their losses came against pretty good teams too so they didn't lose a whole lot from those.

Add that to the fact that the league is currently in a mess of mediocrity right now where everyone seems to be striving just to be .500 and it's not that crazy.

[Team Sheep]

Jaguars vs 49ers AND Steelers vs Vikings at Wembley next year. Should be interesting to see if London can sell out two games...

[ClockShot]

I think the London experiment is gonna fail if some team doesn't wanna do it full time. Like the Cowboys and Lions working Thanksgiving. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Emperor Smeat]

I thought it was a rotation thing and nothing full time. The original plan was for every team to do it at least once or twice before certain teams started to complain.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Jags consider London as a potential future home since they locked up a game for them there the next 4 years in a row.

[Droford]

STAT OF THE DAY: There are only 2 teams in the AFC with a winning record, compared to 7 in the NFC

The a in afc stands for average.

[McLegend]

Eagles fired their defensive coordinator

Can't say I'm upset. I'm a little surprised though.

[Innovator]

Do you want a time machine to go back to the offseason to when they should have fired him?

[McLegend]

Yes I do.

[#1-norm-fan]

I am displeased because they should easily be 0-6 instead of 2-4 right now. No excuses for the Lions (44-41 OT, week 3)and the Steelers (26-23 this past Thursday) to have lost those games

So it displeases you that your favorite NFL team has won more games than you think they should have.

Makes sense.

[screech]

My favorite team is exceeding my expectations! DAMN THEM!

[screech]

owenbrown really does come in here just to bitch

[Droford]

The ravens are disappointing me with their defense, but they're 5-1 so..I'll take it

[Droford]

Breaking

Ed reed has a torn labrum in his shoulder, he's gonna play with it though, but still..

Um..

Ed reed has a torn labrum in his shoulder, out for the season.

Um..

:roll:

Seriously. Stop. lol

[#1-norm-fan]

Nice edit. You come off less desperate for someone to discuss your team with you now.

[Droford]

:roll:

Seriously. Stop. lol

The first I heard someone told me he was out, I just read the Baltimore sun article posted 2 hours ago which doesn't mention anything about him being out, but he's been playing with the tear for a while and my suspicion is at some point he'll be out the way he plays..

[SammyG]

Aaron Rodgers, please don't rape us this Sunday.

Hahahahhaa, well played. Also, I wish there was a way both teams would lose tonight.

[screech]

Terrified about the rest of the year with Reed potentially being out for the season at any Haven't even played the Steelers yet.

[#1-norm-fan]

Rob Ryan hopes a new name doesn't equate to the same game. The Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator is very aware that his unit has just one takeaway in five games. So, he's done talking about takeaways. Now, they're looking for "takeovers."

"Obviously we're not good at getting turnovers," Ryan told the Dallas Morning News. "So we're going to get 'takeovers' this week. We changed the name, so I think we'll do much better."

... Is this guy fucking retarded?

[James Steele]

I'm starting to think Buddy Ryan had his kids knocking the shit out of each other from a very early age.

[Skippord]

I bet he decided to do that just so he didn't have to think about pastries during football games

[McLegend]

I'm excited for no Eagles game today.

[OssMan]

fucking giants vs fucking rgthird and reskins

what do i do

[Droford]

Have a reallygood feeling about the game today...never lost to a team from texas

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Jets tried to complain to the NFL that the Pats offense is too fast in the sense that they can't sub their defense players because of how quickly the Pats snap the ball most of the time even though they also admitting there is nothing illegal about it.

Nobody else has complained with even the Ravens coach wanting his team to match that kind of speed (about 3-4 seconds slower for snaps).

[DaveBrawl]

According to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com, the National Football League is investigating the San Diego Chargers for possibly using an illegal "Stick 'em"-like substance during their 35-24 loss to the Denver Broncos last Monday night.

"NFL Security has already begun investigation as SD equipment man was hiding illegal sticky substance and giving to players. Line judge saw it and had it confiscated and sent to Broncos and league", Glazer posted on Twitter.

The equipment manager had the substance hidden in hand towels and the line judge (Jeff Bergman) noticed it during a timeout and made the equipment manager in question empty his pockets. The NFL takes issues of competitive advantages seriously and Glazer adds that sanctions by the NFL could range from a substantial fine to the possible forfeiture of draft picks, the latter of which may depend on how many individuals were involved in using or distributing the illegal substance.

"Stickum" has been outlawed by the National Football League since after the 1980 season. The substance is most closely associated with former Oakland Raiders cornerback Lester Hayes, who would slather the sticky substance on his arms and hands during games. Though it has been banned, players have continued to utilize similar substances, using anything at their disposal to gain a competitive advantage. Former NFL player, head coach and current ESPN analyst Herm Edwards said that, even after the ban, he would place a small amount of Stickum on the inside of his cleats to use at key moments during games.

At what point in the game the discovery was made is unknown, so it would be a stretch to assume that the Chargers blowing a 24-point halftime lead can be traced to this incident. However, it is worth noting that, according to Stats, Inc., the Chargers do not have a player anywhere near the league lead in dropped passes this season. Instead of giving the substance to the Chargers receivers, perhaps the equipment manager should have handed it to Philip Rivers, who was intercepted four times and lost a pair of fumbles against the Broncos.
All the wheels are coming off.

They were pointing out that when an offence makes subs a ref has to stand over the ball to allow adequate time for the defence to make subs too. Fair enough really. Apparently the Jets were watching tape of the Patriots/Broncos game and this wasn't happening.

Yeah I get why they'd have an issue but the way they made it seem was like the Pats were the only team to ever do this even though nobody ever complained when the Colts did this for years and mastered the technique.

I think more teams in the NFC do it this year and the Ravens are the closest to the Pats in the AFC in terms of speed.

Think its just those two teams this week although I think the Steelers might as well later.

I want Brady to do well then get hurt at the end, as I do not want the Rams to face him in London. From facing Rodgers to facing Brady back to back. Stupid.

If Pats end up blowing another game, they probably need to start considering tossing out McDaniels as the O coordinator since his play calling for the 4th Qs have been horrible.


:nono: might as well chalk up another loss.

<font color=goldenrod>What a game. Was there live today. Good stuff.

Admittedly I hate MetLife Stadium. Hella cramped on the top level. Also way too many assholes who feel the need to get back to their seats mid-play. Wait until they're in the huddle for fuck's sake.</font>

[Triple A]

ugh

[SammyG]

Sanchez played his balls off in the second half. Earned some respect, I think. Shitty way to end the game.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Jim Nantz apparently wasn't paying any attention to the game he was calling. At the end before the ref came out to make the fumble official, he was like "If this holds up, this will be a shocker. Biggest underdogs of the day." Then the ref announced it was a fumble and he goes "And with that, the Jets are at the top of the AFC East... ... ... Uh, Patriots."

[Team Sheep]

What a game. Offensive line has woken up finally for the first time since 2010. Running game has been promising the last 2 weeks and that always gives a QB like Sanchez a chance. Just weren't clinical enough to clinch it. Sparano needs to get Tebow more involved on those goal line situations. I'm still adamant they are saving him for December for when they need that bit extra.

Tell us how angry your team having some success makes you, owenbrown.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

just be sure to watch your mouth

[owenbrown]

I think I am more angry that teams that SHOULD be beating Tennessee in BLOWOUT fashion have lost because their defense sucks

[owenbrown]

I am looking at you, Detroit (44-41 OT loss) and Pittsburgh (26-23 loss)

[owenbrown]

Buffalo is terrible anyway.... and Supreme, I cannot watch my own mouth :roll:

[Mercenary]

That Pats win was an ugly one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Marvin Lewis is like the dumbest coach of all time when it comes to challenges

[#1-norm-fan]

Of course you should be angry when your team wins games against teams that are better than them. Makes perfect sense.

[Corndad]

Sanders should win an Academy Award for that performance HAHAHA

[RP]

3-3 with Tenn, Miami and Jacksonville coming up. I like this. We have a shot at the wildcard.

[Ermaximus]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Chad Henne is absolute shit.

It was the the owner doing something for the sake of doing something..

[Ermaximus]

Gabbert may be done for the season. MJD might be done for the season.

Lol, looks like our plan to lock up the overall first draft pick is going perfectly.

Knowing Gene Smith though, he'll waste the pick on either a fullback or a long snapper.

Laurent Robinson was a bust. Blackmon can't seem to get going at all. Session may never play again. Well, on the upside, our punter is awesome! :y:

[#1-norm-fan]

Laurent Robinson isn't THAT bad. He needs a QB though. He's not a guy who's gonna make tons of plays regardless of who's throwing it. I'd say Gabbert "can't get it going" before I blame everyone else.

[DaveBrawl]

I'd say Gabbert "can't get it going" before I blame everyone else.
Especially if he's out for the season.

He was playing pretty good Sunday until he got hurt. That's when we had to put in Henne. Pretty sure Jordan Palmer would have won that game against his brother. :cool:

Eagles are 13-0 in games after a bye according to ESPN....fuck. Falcons with their recent shitty play will probably be 6-1 after Sunday. Just praying we beat Dallas for the sake of a work bet...

Reid's gonna lose to solidify him being fired

[itsmeJD]

I definitely don't see Reid being around after this year, but Atlanta is due. I'd rather see them lose to Philly than Dallas. (Obviously I'd rather see them run the table, but those odds are slim)

[Emperor Smeat]

FOX is the same with their MLB games where most of the time its pretty quiet regardless of what is going on.

They either have the cameras too far out or at bad spots in the stadium compared to CBS and others.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Time for the NFL to either:

1. Stop coming to England.

If Not:

2. Choose another "Home" Team than the Rams.
3. Have no Home team and just pick random match ups.

Me too, but that's because we both pull for NFC teams..

Good point. Probably right.

[RP]

Jerraud Powers is horrible right now

[Team Sheep]

Jets need a "Sunday afternoon miracle" here. Atrocious performance.

Also I fucking hate British Patriots fans. Just like Man United fans.

[Next Big Thing]

So much for all that noise about Andy Reid being undefeated after bye weeks and the Falcons not being able to dominate opponents. Pretty sure Reid will be coaching the Panthers next year.

[#1-norm-fan]

Time for the NFL to either:

1. Stop coming to England.

If Not:

2. Choose another "Home" Team than the Rams.
3. Have no Home team and just pick random match ups.

The Rams aren't the "home" team every year. They withdrew from playing a home game every year there.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pats should have went for it on 4th. Even if they missed it the Rams would be deep in Pats territory.

[Droford]

At least I was right about the eagles..whoo

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Billions of sacks...Billions of sacks

[#1-norm-fan]

Packers, Vikings and Bears trying to let Detroit catch up in that division apparently. They've either already lost, are losing or are cutting it entirely too close against arguably the 3 worst teams in football. At home no less.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Gronk's TD dance

[#1-norm-fan]

Wow. Who's Cam Newton gonna blame for that one? lol

[Team Sheep]

Lol Carolina dumbass returning the 2 point conversion interception.

[#1-norm-fan]

DeAngelo Hall getting ejected for being a ridiculously huge asshole.

[#1-norm-fan]

Lol Carolina dumbass returning the 2 point conversion interception.

lol. It was a rookie. He's still not used to the change apparently.

[McLegend]

OMG just fire Andy Reid right now.

It's over...

[Kris P Lettus]

DeAngelo Hall getting ejected for being a ridiculously huge asshole.

I could've told you that years ago when he played for the Falcons, he spit in a Saints players face..

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow at Chargers. I wonder how long until Norv Turner gets the boot.

Eagles should be happy even though they lost since no turnovers for once.

[#1-norm-fan]

Holy shit, Vick Ballard.

[RP]

VICK MOTHERFUCKING BALLARD

OMG

HOLYSHIT

[Boomer]

Falcons are good. Honestly the best team I've seen them put on the field. Gotta stay healthy on defense though...

[Kris P Lettus]

Whitherspoons ankle looked pretty bad..

[Shisen Kopf]

Lions win! You know what I like best about this thread, the lack of the Eurotrash posting.

[Kris P Lettus]

CSL posts in here..

:shifty:

[Boomer]

Whitherspoons ankle looked pretty bad..

It didn't look that bad to me, but he did get carted off so we will see. Hoping for an ankle sprain, if anything.

[Kris P Lettus]

Could still keep him out a few weeks..

:fingerscrossed:

[Kris P Lettus]

lol Romo

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Saints fan laughing at someone's poor play.

[Kris P Lettus]

I wasn't laughing at yr defense, I was laughing at yr joke of a quarterback..

[#1-norm-fan]

Dallas still playing like they haven't prepared for shit. And now Ware's down. Lee's out. Jason Garrett isn't fired. Goddammit anyway.

[#1-norm-fan]

I wasn't laughing at yr defense, I was laughing at yr joke of a quarterback..

I wasn't aware I own a quarterback.

[Kris P Lettus]

You don't..

You have some goofy underachiever name Romo that people call a quarterback..

[Innovator]

These discount double check commercials are getting out of hand.

[#1-norm-fan]

You don't..

Do I? Did I drunkenly purchase him one night? I don't think I even own a football team for him to play on. I should probably tell him that. I wonder what I could use his skills.

[owenbrown]

no shit

[Kris P Lettus]

Do I? Did I drunkenly purchase him one night? I don't think I even own a football team for him to play on. I should probably tell him that. I wonder what I could use his skills.

If my team turned the ball over 3 times in one quarter I would try to change the subject too..

[Innovator]

Dez Bryant might have money on the game

[#1-norm-fan]

Goddamn, Dez Bryant needs to stay off the field.

[#1-norm-fan]

If my team turned the ball over 3 times in one quarter I would try to change the subject too..

YOU OWN A TEAM!?!?!?!?!?

Holy shit, I just found out like 5 minutes ago that I own a quarterback. An entire team though. That's impressive. Congrats.

Sick touchdown.

[Kris P Lettus]

When people say "my home town" does that mean they own the city??

My high school??

My college??

[Kris P Lettus]

My nigga??

:shifty:

[Requiem]

Seriously?

'Home town' is where you're from originally. Like where you grew up and went to school and shit. So if you grew up at a place and moved away, you might still call it your home town.

[Skippord]

Holy shit Tony Romo

[Innovator]

JPP!

[#1-norm-fan]

Nigga came out of nowhere!

[Innovator]

He had Witten open too

[owenbrown]

Aikman better start suiting up for this game right now

[Evil Vito]

:lol: Romo
:lol: Cowboys

[#1-norm-fan]

:lol: Romo
:lol: Cowboys

STILL RUINED YOUR HOME OPENER, FUCKER!

[McLegend]

This Cowboys impolsion makes me feel a little better.

[McLegend]

Wish it wasn't against The Giants though :/

[Kris P Lettus]

Seriously?

Exactly..

Doesn't mean you fucking own it, which was the point I was making..

[#1-norm-fan]

Hey, Dez Bryant playing running back for the Giants now.

[Innovator]

Wish it wasn't against The Giants though :/

Four more years for Reid

[McLegend]

Oh God please no...

[Innovator]

Room might kill a wr today

[McLegend]

Yeah Room sucks

[#1-norm-fan]

Tony Room

[#1-norm-fan]

At this point I'd tell the fuckers to just run deep. Obviously "routes" are a hard thing to comprehend.

[Innovator]

Stupid auto correct.

[Innovator]

Romo should just throw to Witten every play

[McLegend]

I can see botched snap comig

[Kris P Lettus]

Romo should just throw to Witten every play

Yes..

Witten is on my fantasy squad..

[Kris P Lettus]

I hate Aikman, but him calling a Cowboys game is the worst..

[#1-norm-fan]

Suck so bad that the defense doesn't bother to cover you for one play.

It's the Dez Bryant offense.

[Evil Vito]

Shit, Dallas is figuring it out. Giants should have scored more than 23 points when they had all the momentum.

[Crimson]

I wouldn't worry too much. Even if it's close no way Romo outplays Manning in the 4th

[Evil Vito]

Unbelievable. I saw that rollout play coming from a mile away. The Giants have completely fallen apart.

[Crimson]

I thought Romo was going to fumble it somehow even though nobody was near him

[Innovator]

So tired of Bradshaw hopping before he hits the hole

[Evil Vito]

Fuckkkk not Blackburn.

[Innovator]

Does the defense know they aren't up 23 anymore?

[Evil Vito]

There is no chance the Giants are winning this game. Not with the defense going on vacation and the offense being out of sync.

And having to hear Aikman makes it even worse.

[Kris P Lettus]

Jesus Christ Vito, you are the worst fan here.. Every time someone gets hurt or the G-Men get behind I feel like we should put you on suicide watch..

[Innovator]

Yup, this is over.
