NFL 2012 Season Thread

[#1-norm-fan]

The Packers are playing to win a week long vacation right now.

[Kris P Lettus]

Lets see them balls McCarthy

[Innovator]

Come on overtime

[owenbrown]

this shit is crazy

[Nark Order]

GB getting so many calls on their side.

[Ermaximus]

Seahawks/Broncos Super Bowl.

[Nark Order]

Seahawks/Broncos Super Bowl.

Oh, stop it.

[owenbrown]

I will be rooting heavily for the Colts next week against the Ravens

[Triple Naitch]

But why?

[Emperor Smeat]

Minnesota barely using AP either in the 2nd or 3rd Q last week might be what ended up preventing AP from breaking the record.

[Triple Naitch]

Oh shit was that enough?

[Triple Naitch]

9 fucking yards. God damn.

[Kris P Lettus]

9 yards short..

fuck

[#1-norm-fan]

lol 9 yards short.

COME ONNNN

[Triple Naitch]

Alright guys, that last run may have swayed my thinking for AP to win MVP.

[Kris P Lettus]

And somewhere AlphaBean and Y2ANT just creamed their pants..

[Nark Order]

FUCK PETTING MANNING. AP. HELL YES

[Triple Naitch]

Easy there, champ.

[Razzamajazz]

skeet skeet skeet

[Kris P Lettus]

AD is such a good guy it's hard to not pull for him..

[Razzamajazz]

someone down the street is setting off fireworks right now lol

[owenbrown]

Updated playoffs

AFC:

Wild Card: Bengals at Texans
Colts at Ravens (go Colts, fuck Droford)

Divisional: Bengals/Colts/Ravens at Denver
Colts/Ravens/Texans at New England

NFC:

Wild Card: Vikings at Packers
Seahawks at Redskins

Divisional: Vikings/Seahawks/Redskins at Atlanta
Seahawks/Redskins/Packers at San Francisco

[Nark Order]

I'd like my team to face the Cowboys, please.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'd like my team to face the Cowboys, please.

I would like that as well.

[Team Sheep]

Destined to be Brady vs Manning AFC Title game.

[#1-norm-fan]

If Washington wins then 6 of the 12 playoff QBs will be 1st or 2nd year players.

[Ermaximus]

Oh, stop it.

Have your team prove me wrong. As much as I'd love to see the Skins in the Super Bowl, Seattle is pretty much the kryptonite of the NFC right now.

[RoXer]

Can we take the Starter cap off of Romo next year?

[ClockShot]

Fuck yeah. Denver gets the top seed and home field throughout the playoffs.

[owenbrown]

this is gonna be a long game

[Nark Order]

Peyton Manning winning the Superbowl on the Broncos just feels really wrong. Would rather have Brady go to another SB.

[SammyG]

Can't wait for next year.

[owenbrown]

Droford in hiding?

[ClockShot]

So as far as I know, housecleaning services have been called in for San Diego, Philly, and Cleveland right now.

Anybody possibly coaching their last game today? Jason Garrett? Ron Rivera?

[Kris P Lettus]

lol romo

[#1-norm-fan]

Well that was just a shit throw.

[Kris P Lettus]

So as far as I know, housecleaning services have been called in for San Diego, Philly, and Cleveland right now.

Anybody possibly coaching their last game today? Jason Garrett? Ron Rivera?

Garrett is safe..

I'd say Andy Reid and Norv Turner are def out..

[#1-norm-fan]

Anybody possibly coaching their last game today? Jason Garrett? Ron Rivera?

Garrett's not getting fired regardless of the outcome here.

[owenbrown]

so the Redskins have burned 2 timeouts already and Romo has thrown 2 picks

[Innovator]

Norv Turner is the Matt Hardy of the NFL, he will not die

[Kris P Lettus]

How did they "burn" them??

First was called cause RG3's speaker was fucked up in his helmet and he couldn't get the play in and the second was London Fletcher calling it cause he didn't like the alignment on a 2nd and long..

Both seem perfectly good times to call a timeout.. Those are actually specific examples of perfect times to call timeouts..

[Kris P Lettus]

Norv Turner is the Matt Hardy of the NFL, he will not die

He already said that he would come back as the OC if they want him gone as HC..

[owenbrown]

ok the first one I could understand.... but why the 2nd one? They only have 1 left for the entire half and it's not even the end of the 1st quarter.

[Kris P Lettus]

ok the first one I could understand.... but why the 2nd one? They only have 1 left for the entire half and it's not even the end of the 1st quarter.

Prolly a matchup problem with Bryant or Witten..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think NBC gets the first choice of what Saturday night game they want next week. Definitely figure it'll be one of the NFC games. Vikings/Packers is a division rivalry with history...but then again if Dallas wins tonight it'd be kinda hard seeing NBC not taking them.

Either way, that'd then give CBS the ability to pick which game they want, and Colts/Ravens is the easy choice there I'd think.</font>

[James Steele]

Thank you Baby Jesus, for Jason Witten.

[DaveBrawl]

Peyton Manning winning the Superbowl on the Broncos just feels really wrong. Would rather have Brady go to another SB.

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

[Ermaximus]

So as far as I know, housecleaning services have been called in for San Diego, Philly, and Cleveland right now.

Anybody possibly coaching their last game today? Jason Garrett? Ron Rivera?

Mularkey.

[#1-norm-fan]

OF COURSE Washington is gonna just drive down the field with ease to even it up again. Because making one stop when it matters to give the offense a shot to go up by two scores would be entirely too positive.

Fuck you Charlie Peprah. I don't know if you were even on the field on that drive. I just don't like your name.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, had no idea Dallas signed that DB who broke up the pass to Lee Evans for the Patriots in the AFC Championship.

[Skippord]

Who That?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fuck yeah. Denver gets the top seed and home field throughout the playoffs.

You can now never mention liking Tim Tebow again and that goes for ALL Denver Fans here forever. Congrats to the Broncos for making the right call and giving Jesus Boy the boot out of town.
They don't even have to play in the round Tebow won in now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Also, had no idea Dallas signed that DB who broke up the pass to Lee Evans for the Patriots in the AFC Championship.

Probably was released around the same time the Pats signed Talib.

[Kris P Lettus]

So f'n sick of this Coach T bullshit..

[DaveBrawl]

You can now never mention liking Tim Tebow again and that goes for ALL Denver Fans here forever. Congrats to the Broncos for making the right call and giving Jesus Boy the boot out of town.
They don't even have to play in the round Tebow won in now.

Pretty sure that I can mention it, and would still want him as the backup should the situation arise.

[DaveBrawl]

So f'n sick of this Coach T bullshit..

Also the space shuttle commercial.

[Skippord]

:heart: Tim Tebow

[#1-norm-fan]

Fuck this defense.

lol Eric Frampton

[#1-norm-fan]

Jesus Christ, Anthony Spencer?? Really??

[Kris P Lettus]

RG3 getting his swagger back..

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jason Garret might lose his job if they lose? Maybe.Too bad they can't fire an owner. They won't win until Jerry Jones is dead.

[Kris P Lettus]

That is the only thing I miss about Jim Haslett was his blitzes..

(funny Al Micheals mentioned him coaching the Saints while I was typing that)

[#1-norm-fan]

Ryan should probably try stacking the box. At least if they start completing passes at will they can hurry up with the scoring drive and let the offense try to match them again.

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe CHARLIE PEPRAH can make a big play.

[#1-norm-fan]

Jason Garret might lose his job if they lose? Maybe.Too bad they can't fire an owner. They won't win until Jerry Jones is dead.

Garrett isn't getting fired.

[#1-norm-fan]

Unfortunately

[#1-norm-fan]

Fuck you, Sav Rocca! That looked like it could have been very bad.

[Corndad]

NFL wild-card games

Saturday, January 5

AFC: 4:30 PM (ET) Cincinnati at Houston (NBC)

NFC: 8:00 PM (ET) Minnesota at Green Bay (NBC)

Sunday, January 6

AFC: 1:00 PM (ET) Indianapolis at Baltimore (CBS)

NFC: 4:30 PM (ET) Seattle at Washington/Dallas (FOX)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Great game.

Why is Kelly Clarkson singing the Cowboys Pepsi Anthem? Seems wrong.

[#1-norm-fan]

Scored too fast. The defense needed more time to rest.

Like... a week.

[Skippord]

Sav Rocca should play safety

sick facemask/horse collar

[Kris P Lettus]

woooooooooooo

[Kris P Lettus]

Romo trying to be Favre..

[#1-norm-fan]

Holy shit

[Corndad]

Alfred Morris Beast Mode

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>roflllllllllllll Romo</font>

[Team Sheep]

Vintage Romo. Seriously, how many chances is he going to have?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Romo trying to be Favre..

Succeeding.

[#1-norm-fan]

Romo pretty much had to be perfect to lead this team to the playoffs.

Tony Romo is certainly not perfect.

[#1-norm-fan]

Romo trying to be Favre..

Succeeding.

[#1-norm-fan]

Dallas isn't getting the ball back.

[Evil Vito]

[Kris P Lettus]

Cowboys are imploding..

Everything is right in the world..

[Skippord]

#That'sSoCowboys

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Daniel Synder what a prick. Yay my QB got hit the head!

[#1-norm-fan]

Wow. Really? That's how it ends? Jesus...

[Corndad]

Oh Cowboys.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Think they need to think about drafting another QB. This fuckwad has to go away.

[Innovator]

...did Dallas just find a new way to lose?

[owenbrown]

http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/145800/82825326.jpg

:lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

Think they need to think about drafting another QB. This fuckwad has to go away.

Seriously. The man almost single-handedly has to bring the team back EIGHT TIMES to win any games. It's almost like there are other issues with the team...

[#1-norm-fan]

... What is going on here...?

[#1-norm-fan]

Nevermind.

[Kris P Lettus]

Helping play spoiler for the Cowboys is the only good thing the Saints did this season..

[#1-norm-fan]

Helping play spoiler for the Cowboys is the only good thing the Saints did this season..

lol. You didn't help anything. The game did absolutely nothing to affect anything. Stop trying to convince yourself your team is special.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Tony Romo missed far too many tackles on Alfred Morris today. He's gotta go.

[#1-norm-fan]

Tony Romo missed far too many tackles on Alfred Morris today. He's gotta go.

If we're being honest, I found his defensive play calling to be lackluster as well.

[Kris P Lettus]

Fuck Deangelo Hall

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Said earlier this week that Packers/Patriots was my SB pick. Not gonna change it even with the Packers having to play in the first round:

-Seahawks over Redskins
-Packers over Vikings
-Texans over Bengals
-Colts over Ravens

-Packers over 49ers
-Seahawks over Falcons
-Patriots over Texans
-Broncos over Colts

-Packers over Seahawks
-Patriots over Broncos

-Packers over Patriots

Only one I'm not sure about is Seahawks/Falcons. Can't remember the last time both top seeds in a conference went one and done. Not even a diss on the Falcons, I just think the Seahawks are really good.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Congrats to the Redskins for winning the right to lose to Seattle next week.

[Kris P Lettus]

The Falcons will lose..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Isn't Seattle still terrible on the road? Everyone seems so confident about them this year. Probably gonna lose by 20.

[#1-norm-fan]

Isn't Seattle still terrible on the road? Everyone seems so confident about them this year. Probably gonna lose by 20.

They beat Chicago on the road a few weeks ago which is pretty impressive.

I actually don't have THAT much confidence in them but I do feel like they might be "peaking" while Washington probably feels like they just won their Super Bowl.

[Skippord]

they beat some pretty decent teams on the road if I recall

[Team Sheep]

I predict that Seattle will go one and done, no team will win in Denver, and Atlanta will win a game.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No they didn't. Fuck you. They beat Chicago, Carolina, and Buffalo on the road. Fuck you.

[Team Sheep]

I think Seattle may have had their big moment when they smashed the 49ers and their bubble will burst imminently now that everyone is making them their trendy pick.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>And with the Giants officially finishing in 2nd place, their games next year will be:

Home: WAS, DAL, PHI, SEA, GB, MIN, DEN, KC
Road: WAS, DAL, PHI, CAR, CHI, DET, SD, OAK

On the surface that really doesn't look too bad. But teams change so much year to year in the NFL, the Giants themselves are gonna be cutting a lot of vets. Who knows.</font>

[Shadow]

Only thing better then getting a paid day off tomorrow is watching Tony Romo CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE like a bitch.

Yeah we'll lose to SEA but who gives a shit right now?

[Skippord]

No they didn't. Fuck you. They beat Chicago, Carolina, and Buffalo on the road. Fuck you.
I was 100P guessing

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Shadow's first post in this thread comes right after the Redskins clinch and he uses "We'll."

is this nigga serious

[Emperor Smeat]

Think the weather and Redskins being a very rush-heavy team might be too much for Seattle.

Out of that list of teams Seattle beat on the road the Bears are the best ones but the temperature for that game was almost double of today's Redskins-Cowboys game. Bills weather was pretty bad but Buffalo flat out stunk in that game and most of the season.

[owenbrown]

I dunno if I want to make playoff predictions or keep them to myself :-\

[Droford]

:shifty:
Might annoy a few on here but I think the Bengals can beat the Texans

[owenbrown]

Updated playoffs

AFC:

Wild Card: Bengals at Texans
Colts at Ravens (go Colts, fuck Droford)

Divisional: Bengals/Colts/Ravens at Denver
Colts/Ravens/Texans at New England

NFC:

Wild Card: Vikings at Packers
Seahawks at Redskins

Divisional: Vikings/Seahawks/Redskins at Atlanta
Seahawks/Redskins/Packers at San Francisco

[owenbrown]

Droford is jinxing teams again :roll:

[Droford]

Baltimore Ravens 2013 NFL Regular Season Schedule-

Home- Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, At-Large- Houston Texans (AFC South)

Away- Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, At-Large- Denver Broncos (AFC West)

Looks like at least 10 wins again

[Droford]

Droford is jinxing teams again :roll:

If that's the case I 100% am rooting for the Texans.

[Favre4Ever]

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/536115_4070966139368_1616874484_n.jpg

[Droford]

Now let's just change tony romo with matt Ryan.

[Droford]

Lol, I guess rooting for the Bengals would be great..if they beat the Texans and Broncos...and if the ravens beat the colts and patriots..there'd be a rematch of the game that didn't really happen today for the afc championship

[James Steele]

Cowboys need to clean house and address these things (in this order):

1) Head Coach with Testicles
2) Interior Offensive Line
3) Defensive Backs
4) Quarterback

Jerry Jones will never hire a coach that will tell him off, so that is pointless.

The offensive line is pathetic, and it seems like they have the most trouble with pressure coming up the middle.

DB quality has gotten better, but still aren't good enough for a championship caliber team.

They need to draft or trade for a good young QB to a) push/challenge Romo and b) prepare for the future. The window is closing on the Dallas Cowboys with this core group of guys. Sadly, I can't think of any great QBs in this years draft. I think Tyler Wilson is a system guy and Matt Barkley screams Jimmy Clausen/Brady Quinn. There are some good OLs and defensive depth guys you could draft.

[owenbrown]

[James Steele]

I am rooting for the Vikings and Broncos in the playoffs. I love Peyton Manning and I want all this ridiculous talk of his brother being better to stop. I also love Adrian Peterson and want him to get rewarded for being such an awe-inspiring player.

[owenbrown]

Titans have 10th pick in the first round of the draft and mock drafts suggest a defensive player

[Favre4Ever]

There is no quick fix or magic pill you can take to be a contender, outside of this summers Peyton Manning sweepstakes (that Dallas didn't really participate in). The reality is that your GM is terrible and the only way he is leaving his job is in a coffin.

[owenbrown]

I am rooting for the Vikings and Broncos in the playoffs. I love Peyton Manning and I want all this ridiculous talk of his brother being better to stop. I also love Adrian Peterson and want him to get rewarded for being such an awe-inspiring player.

who's your MVP between the two since apparently they are the frontrunners?

[James Steele]

I'd love to see the Cowboys draft OU safety Tony Jefferson.

[owenbrown]

Bleacher Report predicting the following Super Bowl matchup:

Broncos vs 49ers Result: Broncos 24, 49ers 20

[owenbrown]

West Virginia QB Geno Smith projected #1 pick in the draft? to the Chiefs?

[owenbrown]

Jake Locker getting shoulder surgery in his non-throwing arm in the off-season. Hopefully he'll stay healthy next season because Hasselback is old and sucks.

[James Steele]

who's your MVP between the two since apparently they are the frontrunners?

Adrian Peterson. The turn around the Vikings have had to go from 3 wins to 10 wins with a very very very average (at best) QB (and offense in general) is impressive. Adrian Peterson is carrying this team on his back, having the greatest year of his career, and has Minnesota with a shitload of momentum after coming off a surgery that most people would still be recovering from at this point.

Peyton Manning is having a similar season, but the Broncos had a good nucleus last year and just needed a real QB to put them over the top. Manning is not only a real QB, but an elite one and the Broncos are raping people with their massive horsecock while John Elway eats their mother's muff and nibbles on her clit with his massive horseteeth.

If you take Peterson off this team and plug in an average RB, they suck balls. If you take Peyton Manning and replace him with an average QB, I think the Broncos would be similar to last year if not 10 wins. It is ridiculously hard to pick, but Adrian's season is blowing my mind way more than Peyton's. I know they can't help it, but the Broncos schedule and division isn't as tough as the Vikings in my opinion.

[Skippord]

I am a massive Broncos fan and I think Adrian Peterson should be the MVP

[James Steele]

With Adrian Peterson, you know what is coming and it doesn't fucking matter. Load the box, bring the house, do whatever -- IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER. He is getting his mother fucking yards on that mother fucking field.

[James Steele]

Adrian could have even more yards if the Vikings quit throwing shitty passes on 1st down and just gave him the ball.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seriously...

9... fucking... yards...

Ridiculous. He was probably 1, MAYBE 2 more carries at any point during the season from breaking the record.

[James Steele]

Here is my predictions:


Bengals @ Texans
Colts @ Ravens

Vikings @ Packers
Seattle @ Washington


Colts @ Broncos
Texans @ Patriots

Vikings @ Falcons
Redskins @ 49ers



Patriots @ Broncos

Vikings @ 49ers

[owenbrown]

Well it would be a great story involving the two MVP/Comeback of the Year candidates... I don't know if I see AD carrying the Vikings that far into the playoffs... considering they have to play the Packers a second straight week this time at Lambeau.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

With the Dolphins losing tonight Droford is now not allowed to post STATS for the playoffs! Wooooooooo!

[OssMan]

HAIL to the Reskins
HAIL RG3
Braves on the warpath
Fight for RG3

[owenbrown]

My Picks (thinking way outside the box on one of these Super Bowl teams)

AFC:

Wild Card:

Bengals at Texans (Texans)
Colts at Ravens (Colts)

Divisional:

Colts at Broncos (Broncos)
Texans at Patriots (Patriots)

Championship: Patriots at Broncos (Broncos)

NFC:

Wild Card:

Vikings at Packers (Packers)
Seahawks at Redskins (Redskins)

Divisional:

Redskins at Falcons (Redskins)
Packers at 49ers (49ers)

Championship: Redskins at 49ers (Redskins)

Super Bowl: Redskins vs Broncos (Broncos win)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not scared of any match-up in the playoffs. Already asked for the dates of the Divisional, Championships and Super Bowls off. Plus asked for the week before the Superbowl off for the Royal Rumble. No working sundays for me!

[Droford]

Seriously...

9... fucking... yards...

Ridiculous. He was probably 1, MAYBE 2 more carries at any point during the season from breaking the record.

Should have shanked the Fg and went to ot, he could have gone for 2200 as bad as the packers run defense was

[Droford]

I haven't made my mind up if I want to guarantee the ravens win Sunday or not. The game today pissed me off and wasn't the way they needed to go in, they should have had herman edwards somewhere yelling at them

[James Steele]

I'm sure Ray Lewis killing someone and getting away with it will suffice. Hell, last time he did that they won a Super Bowl!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Rooting hard for the Colts and Texans this week just so that the Colts/Broncos playoff game can be a reality.</font>

[Innovator]

Cleaning crew got started in Cleveland right away, Pat Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert are gone.

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18a0iilzk9dn9gif/original.gif

Jets fire GM Mike Tannenbaum, Rex is staying.

[Innovator]

NFL HOT FUCKING STOVE

[ClockShot]

I love housecleaning day.

[Krimzon7]

heads are rolling in the NFL

[Krimzon7]

Browns, Eagles, Chiefs, Bills, Chargers all make house cleaning moves.

Mike Tennanbaum is fired in New York, fucking Finally.

[RP]

LOVIE GONE? NOT LOVIE!

[Kris P Lettus]

AD should get MVP because the Vikings weren't a playoff team last year..

Peyton should get comeback player of the year..

[Innovator]

UPDATE:

No one has been fired in the last 15 minutes.

[James Steele]

Holy shit, I'm surprised at Chicago firing Lovie Smith but it makes sense.

[James Steele]

Jerry Jones, please...please...please...FIRE HIM.

[Kris P Lettus]

UPDATE:

No one has been fired in the last 15 minutes.

Shumur and Crennel

[James Steele]

Those were announced way more than 15 minutes ago.

[Nark Order]

Fuck all of you that predict the 49ers not winning the Superbowl. You're all grounded.

[Kris P Lettus]

I think that Andy Reid and Lovie Smith are the only "official" ones so far.. The rest are just insider reports..

[OssMan]

I think this year is going to be the last we really see of Adrian Peterson. Maybe he'll retire early or have another injury, but most likely his progress will just diminish after his most intensive season ever which came after his ACL surgery.

[OssMan]

Alfred Morris better win ROTY also. 2nd in the league with both 1613 yards and 13 TD, jesus. He and RGThird will probably "co-win" it like they did with superbowl MVPs that one year.

[Krimzon7]

I'm pumped to see Cincy in the Playoffs again. We have a good matchup with a Texans team with some confidence issues. We've been pretty hot during the second half of the season. The Texans can Get Got.

With that said, The Patriots will probably Steamroll them in the next round. I'm completely confident in Tom Brady and New England getting back to the Super Bowl.

The NFC is wide open. All Day won't be able to cover up for Ponder in Green Bay and I think the Pack Attack will win. I think Seattle will fall on the road to RG III and the SKins. I think that the Ultimate NFC Championship will find the Packers and the Skins in the NFC Championship. I don't even know who'd win this, but whoever does will fall to Tom Terrific in the Superbowl.

[Krimzon7]

I think this year is going to be the last we really see of Adrian Peterson. Maybe he'll retire early or have another injury, but most likely his progress will just diminish after his most intensive season ever which came after his ACL surgery.

I couldn't disagree with one post more than I do with this. All Day is a freak of an athlete. He's got 3 more years in him at best.

Alfred Morris better win ROTY also. 2nd in the league with both 1613 yards and 13 TD, jesus. He and RGThird will probably "co-win" it like they did with superbowl MVPs that one year.

As Much as RG III, Alfred Morris, Russell Wilson, and the Muscle Hamster (wish I remembered his real name) deserve to be considered for ROTY, only one man will win this.

Andrew Luck. I hate this as I feel like WIlson and RG III have been more dynamic but Andrew Luck has the strength of the #Chuckstrong story behind him, aside from the fact that he lit it up through the air.

[Shadow]

Fuck Andrew Luck.

[Emperor Smeat]

Thinks its going to be either Wilson or RG III who takes the award.

Stats-wise, RG III has better overall stats than Luck and slightly better than Wilson at the QB position while Morris has been overshadowed a bit too much by having RG III as his teammate to win the award.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Feel bad for the perennially bad teams like Cleveland and Buffalo, because with all these head coach openings, the best candidates are gonna go for the more desirable jobs like Chicago and Philly and the other teams will get stuck with bad hires again and the cycle will repeat itself.

[Kris P Lettus]

Narc brought up a good point earlier about a guy like Reid going to Cleveland cause they have good young players and little expectation, rather than going to a place like Chicago, where you have prima donnas and higher expectations..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ken Whisenhunt's gone too

whatttt

[McLegend]

Did you guys hear that Andy Reid was fired?

[DaveWadding]

Glad that Rod Graves is gone. Pissed that Whiz is taking the fall also.

[McLegend]

I want an experienced NFL coordinator. I do not want a Bill Cowher type.

Also do not want Chip Kelly or any college coach to be the next coach.

[Kris P Lettus]

Who is yr dream candidate??

Gruden??

[OssMan]

Luck has like 1000 more passing yards than Third, also Third threw five interceptions all year to Luck's 18 and Third compensates for those 1000 passing yards with 815 rushing yards. Luck will win though.

RG3 is your rookie of the year. He had alot of rushing TDs to add to his throwing ones.

[McLegend]

Who is yr dream candidate??

Gruden??

I don't know I guess it's Bruce Arians or the Offensive Coordinator from the Falcons Dirk Koetter.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Coughlin confirms that the entire Giants coaching staff will return in 2013, including Gilbride and Fewell (unless they get head coaching offers).

Not surprising. That being said it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever like Kevin Gilbride's playcalling.</font>

[Krimzon7]

I don't know I guess it's Bruce Arians or the Offensive Coordinator from the Falcons Dirk Koetter.
Bruce Arians would be a great fit. I would recommend a solid DEFENSIVE Minded HC

[Emperor Smeat]

Carsd and Bears both interested in Broncos OC Mike McCoy to become either team's new head coach.

If McCoy signs with the Cards, he has to rebuilt the entire offensive staff since almost all were fired as well. Nobody on the defensive side was fired (so far).

[DaveWadding]

no one on the Cards Defensive staff is getting fired.

RG3 is your rookie of the year. He had alot of rushing TDs to add to his throwing ones.

I don't even think it's between Luck and RG3 as much as it's between RG3 and Russell Wilson. Wilson was definitely more consistent than Luck this season. I do think that RG3 is gonna win it though.

Poor Doug Martin. Any other year and he'd be right in the thick of things.

Jerry Jones, please...please...please...FIRE HIM.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones intimated throughout the process that he hasn't even thought about changing head coaches. Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer first reported that coach Jason Garrett was safe two weeks ago. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that Garrett could be asked to hire an offensive coordinator that calls plays.

Well... that's a start.

Still doesn't fix the issue of Dallas being the most unprepared team in the history of football but at least the play calling might improve.

[Ermaximus]

Jags GM Gene Smith is gone.

5 years too late.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Devin Hester is considering retirement after Lovie's firing.

Can't say I blame him. He's the greatest return man in the history of football, but he's not even good at it anymore and doesn't really contribute anywhere else on the field. May as well get out while healthy.</font>

What's the deal with kick returners being unbelievable for a year or two and then just dropping off the map?

Mike Munchak will stay as Titans Head Coach... C.O.O. Mike Reinfeldt canned

<font color=goldenrod>Coughlin confirms that the entire Giants coaching staff will return in 2013, including Gilbride and Fewell (unless they get head coaching offers).

Not surprising. That being said it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever like Kevin Gilbride's playcalling.</font>

I've been saying it for years, there's a reason nobody comes knocking to offer Kevin Gilbride a job.

[Droford]

I'm pumped to see Cincy in the Playoffs again. We have a good matchup with a Texans team with some confidence issues. We've been pretty hot during the second half of the season. The Texans can Get Got.

With that said, The Patriots will probably Steamroll them in the next round. I'm completely confident in Tom Brady and New England getting back to the Super Bowl.

The NFC is wide open. All Day won't be able to cover up for Ponder in Green Bay and I think the Pack Attack will win. I think Seattle will fall on the road to RG III and the SKins. I think that the Ultimate NFC Championship will find the Packers and the Skins in the NFC Championship. I don't even know who'd win this, but whoever does will fall to Tom Terrific in the Superbowl.

Bengals would play the Broncos not the patriots.

[Krimzon7]

Bengals would play the Broncos not the patriots.

K, wish I could say confidently that dalton could handle that type of pressure in Denver...but I cant

[Next Big Thing]

Bloody Monday. Do you think any of the GMs/owners who fired these coaches ended the call with "Happy New Years" or some other awkward pleasantry?

Crazy thing is, there might be more firings to come. I think Carolina would be foolish to keep Ron Rivera and not make a run at Andy Reid.

Are teams allowed to contact assistant coaches on teams that are currently in the playoffs or is there a moratorium on hiring? I can't remember. Hopefully, Dirk Koetter doesn't take any offers in the middle of this playoff run. I feel really good about the Dirty Bird's chances this year.

[Krimzon7]

I assume it ended with Best Of Luck in your Future Endeavors

Need permission in order to do that which is why Cards and Bears can talk to the Broncos OC right now because Denver allowed it. Don't think they can be hired or travel to be interviewed until after their team is out or the playoffs end.

Isn't coach's money guaranteed??

he probably will say fuck the Bills as well

[Emperor Smeat]

Cards very close to signing Andy Reid as their new coach with ESPN and other assuming it becomes official before the end of the week.

[Favre4Ever]

Reid going to Arizona basically means Kolb is staying put. Another six win season incoming over there.

[Droford]

They started out 4-0 with kolb

No god damned way they lose to the colts

If they do lose, at least he'll have played his last game at home.

Why do you hate the Ravens so much?

Not "mad" or anything, just wondering.

Falcons locked up Dirk Koetter through 2014 with an extension. Glad that potential distraction has been handled.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Don’t give a fuck if Schwartz’s coaching contract with Det. goes until 2015 or not, he needs to be fired. I’m sure to all of the Lions fans (of which I am not one, I root for G.B.), 4-12 is unacceptable and the first head to be chopped by the guillotine should be the coach’s.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

DAMN iNATOR loves the Lions

[James Steele]

Why do you hate the Ravens so much?

Not "mad" or anything, just wondering.

I hate a lot of their players. Ray Lewis makes me want to vomit whenever they do some package about him being a motivator, role model, etc. He is a murdering sack of shit. Terrell Suggs seems like a piece of shit too with reports of him hitting his girlfriend and that "Ball So Hard University" thing is beyond stupid. I don't care how good of a player you are - if you are piece of shit human being you are a piece of shit human being. They talk so much shit and act like fucking idiots, but have just 4 division titles to show for it since winning the Super Bowl. You don't see the Bears defense running around acting like fucking idiots or talking shit do you? No. The Ravens have been good for a long time, but they act like they are great which they are not.

I do like Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, Brian Billick, and John Harbaugh.

Yes, I am aware that the Dallas Cowboys fucking suck.

[RP]

ESPN reports that it's unclear whether Ray Lewis will play this week or not.

he's going to play, they saved him for the playoffs.

Stafford is to blame. Not hooking up Megatron with enough TD throws. Overrated!

Greatest linebacker of all time. My favorite player. Ray Lewis is football.

[James Steele]

Yes. No. No.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How can you say No to him saying Ray Lewis his favorite player? Do you not believe him?

LT is the best linebacker of all time though.

[James Steele]

He is a rapist. Dick Butkus is still #1.

[RoXer]

LY changed the position and made it what it is

[James Steele]

Sadly, LT (aka LY) never used KY when he raped young girls.

[Krimzon7]

I thought LY was trying to pay an adult for some hired loving. Little did he know, that bitch was young.

Rape isn't rape when its statutory. Thats a technicality.

[Droford]

Id take Mike Singletary over Lawrence Taylor...thats not just because Singletary was a Ravens coach at one point either lol.

[ClockShot]

Chefs are about to fill the first coaching vacancy by signing Andy Reid.

Great googly moogly.

[RP]

So Ray Lewis announces his retirement and now everyone thinks the Ravens are winning. OK.

Honestly, If this is a 10 point game in the last 8 minutes. Look out. I think Luck will win it.

I think RG3 and Wilson will be impressive numbers wise and one will obviously win, but I think everyone will be talking about Luck, Monday morning. The guy is a gunslinger. Gunslingers always get talked about the next morning. No matter what.

[RP]

Luck has the clutch gene.

[Droford]

Colts gave up 350 yards on the ground to the CHIEFS 2 weeks ago and only won cause Brady Quinn is beyond awful. Ravens gameplan to win should be Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce carrying the ball, and they should be able to have as big of a day considering how well they ran 2 weeks ago themselves vs the Giants.

[RP]

WHERE'S THE WHITE SUIT RAY?

[Gonzo]

How can you say No to him saying Ray Lewis his favorite player? Do you not believe him?

LT is the best linebacker of all time though.

I think it's up to debate but LT was a game changer. As far as pass-rushing linebackers go I think he has to be considered the best. I think it's also fair to say that outside and inside linebackers play a different position/role so apples to apples comparisons don't always work.

I am not so much rooting for the Colts as I am rooting against Droford and the Ravens.
