NFL 2013 Season Thread

[Boomer]

Oh shit, watch out everybody, RDD is boomering out.

I've missed you, RDD.

[road doggy dogg]

I don't know what that even means, all I'm saying is you guys are starting to sound like ESPN with this whole "arguing over completely mundane topics and trying to manufacture conversation out of them"

Please, get into a lengthy debate over that "miscalled penalty" that the refs made that Joe Buck would not SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT FOR 90 MINUTES, because that really is a fascinating subplot.

[Next Big Thing]

Think I watched the 4 best NFC teams today

I still think Seattle is a better team than Green Bay. NFC South plays the NFC West this year too. Going to be some great games.

I don't even know what it means either. Just thought I'd add Krispy's new verb to my repertoire.


Thank everything for NFL Redzone though, so I don't have to put up with anybody's commentary for long. It is all pretty awful.

[Nark Order]

Seattle offense looked like garbage today, tbh. Watched the whole game. As a Niners fan, I'm a little less worried than I was before today.

Yeah I love Scott Hansen. I watched Lions game at 1:00 then turned on RZ for 4:00 games, so much better. Didn't hurt that both games were absolutely DYNAMITE as well.

Yeah same, watched the Falcons game then switched over. Will probably just mute the night game and listen to some music or something.

Watching a few Stephen Jackson post-game vids, and I fucking love this guy. So humble, and knows he has room to improve despite playing pretty well today.

[road doggy dogg]

Plus last year he called Legatron the Rams' MVP. So dude is obviously smart.
crossrine

[Nark Order]

Feel pretty great for Alex Smith. I know itwas just the Jags that they beat up on, but he looks like he belongs in that offense.

[McLegend]

I miss Faith Hill

[Boomer]

Wanted him in both leagues, but settled for one. Good today, obviously.

[Triple A]

picked awff

[road doggy dogg]

What are your thoughts on the Giants, since you are a Jets fan, correct? Do you actively root against them, or do you kind of pull for them as "your NFC team", or is that sacrilege. I don't know. Go Lions.
crossrine

[owenbrown]

Eli gonna top Peyton's 7 TDs by throwing 7 INTs

[Triple A]

I like the Giants. :) I "root" for them to win usually but don't get that excited and don't feel bummed out when they lose or anything. Don't like when people "detest" the other NY team

I liked them both when I was little cause we always get both teams' games, til I was like 17 or something I think then "picked" the Jets cause I guess I liked them a lil better and you are only supposed to like 1 team

[owenbrown]

ok WHAT THE FUCK?! Am I in a parallel NFL Universe today?

[Nark Order]

Late hits are to be expected but after watching that Clay Matthews hit a couple more times I've come to the conclusion that it was a pretty "bitch move" on his part. There's no way that he thought the ball was still in play.

[Evil Vito]

2 drives, 2 turnovers. Urge to panic rising...

[road doggy dogg]

Week 1, don't over-react, etc etc. Nicks looks healthy, that's a plus
crossrine

[Crimson]

wow 3 turnovers. If there's a team that won't capitalize..it's the Cowboys

[Evil Vito]

3 drives, 3 turnovers.

Fuck you Giants. :(

[road doggy dogg]

*ahem* ...maybe a little panic is okay. At least it's still only 3-0 so far...
crossrine

[Nark Order]

Eli. Jesus.

[Evil Vito]

The Giants can force turnovers too? I like it!

[road doggy dogg]

The "instrumental" version of the SNF music that plays in the background when they show mini montages is the most inadvertently hilarious thing to me about this game
crossrine

[Kris P Lettus]

Eli is the son of God, Archibald Manning, but he is not Jesus

[road doggy dogg]

Wilson is having a greaaaaaaat game...

[road doggy dogg]

That Wendy's girl is mad hot but she is such a cunt. Like if she was in my "circle of friends" I would defs bang her but I would be talking shit about her behind her back so much because I cannot stand her
crossrine

[Evil Vito]

Giants were pretty bad in the red zone all of last year. But whatever. Getting it tied up after all of those turnovers is a small victory. Kinda like the game is restarting now.

[Emperor Smeat]

So apparently Mike Wallace was really furious at the Phins coach and/or Ryan Tannehill to the point that he had to be personally escorted off the filed after the Dolphins game ended.

Me too. She is kind of annoying, but only in the "buck buck" one

[road doggy dogg]

No she is a goddamn annoying cunt. Like if she was below average-average looking she would be downright unbearable, but since she gets the loins a little worked up it's easy enough to look past her stupid snarky attitude and I still want to punch her in the face

Ill stand by my earlier statement that I saw the best 4 NFC teams play in the earlier games

[Innovator]

I think the Giants just killed Romo

[glanville6]

I almost said to my brother before the play that I hope he gets hurt because I'm against him in fantasy. Now I feel bad.

[McLegend]

I like Leigh

[Evil Vito]

Giants should be down by way more than 3. Gonna have to make some serious adjustments on D. At least they've still got their big play ability.

Fully expecting Romo to come back out.

[Kris P Lettus]

Still with the coach t comercials

Fuck

[Kris P Lettus]

If the Giants win this game, it would be hilarious

[Evil Vito]

Game over. Bench David Wilson.

[Kris P Lettus]

Down by 10, 3 mins into the 2nd half against the cowboys

[DaveWadding]

Most hilarious part of the SNF opening is that it totally used everything about Joan Jett's I Hate Myself for Loving You

This is getting funny. I want 7 turnovers

[Evil Vito]

Hope Peyton brings his lube for next week.

[DaveWadding]

he's going to BF Eli just like he used to when they were kids.

[DaveWadding]

So, looks like Cruz is earning that contract.

[Innovator]

There we go, finally a stop

[Kris P Lettus]

If the Giants win this game, it would be hilarious

[Innovator]

... So Jacobs is still available right?

[Evil Vito]

God, I would have rather just gotten blown out than lose like that.

[owenbrown]

Did Romo and Eli switch bodies tonight?

[Evil Vito]

Only silver lining I can think of is the Cowboys look awful too. This division is a damn mess.

[screech]

That game was fucking sloppy

[Crimson]

Both teams looked like shit. But in typical Cowboys fashion they will think they played great and get blown out next week.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think tomorrow I might set a world record for fastest Survival Pool selections. This week I barely squeaked by with the Colts in one entry and the Patriots in the other. Next week I'll use my other Patriots pick and in the other I'll probably just go with Denver. Feel dirty about possibly benefiting financially from a Giants loss, but it's the most enticing game on the schedule for next week short of Pats/Jets. If the Giants' pass rush plays like they did for 3 quarters tonight, Peyton may have 7 TD by halftime.

MAYBE Texans over the Titans. We'll see.</font>

[OssMan]

Well, now, let me take an instance; suppose that I call a man a horse or a horse a man, you mean to say that a man will be rightly called a horse by me individually, and rightly called a man by the rest of the world; and a horse again would be rightly called a man by me and a horse by the world... that is your meaning?

[#1-norm-fan]

Cowboys defense looked good and the offense was just good enough to win. Didn't make the costly mistakes. Feels like week one last year. They probably shouldn't get too cocky next week facing the Chiefs.

Also, the Giants desperately need a running back. Good lord...

[Triple A]

How come Chris Berman isn't on "The Blitz"...

I have no doubt the Giants will be signing somebody this week. Dwyer, Beanie Wells, Hightower - nobody that will set the world on fire but who can hopefully block and, you know, hold on to the damn ball.

All things considered I think the loss to Dallas week 1 last year felt worse since it was at home and all that jazz. Dallas was bound to get a home win against the Giants at some point.

[road doggy dogg]

I hate to discount plays because it's a very ingenuous way of looking at a game, but damn. If you take away the 78 yard TD run by Peterson:

Ponder
18-28 for 236 yards, 1TD 3INT

Peterson
17 carries for 15 yards and a TD (4-18-1 in the passing game as well)

Jerome Simpson, who I don't think ANYBODY was gameplanning for, had the big receiving game (7-140) but otherwise nobody on the Vikings did a ton of damage. Next best receiver was Jennings with 3-33.

People have been touting the Vikings as one of the "risers" in the NFC so to get an impressive week 1 victory over them is mad good feeling. Especially after going 0-6 in the division last year. Chicago doesn't look terribly impressive and GB's defense is suspect. Obviously not "counting them out" but it's not like they're insurmountable foes or anything. If Lions can even go a solid 3-3 in the division this year, combined with the 4th-place SoS games (@ARI and TB), maybe my 6-10 prediction was a bit conservative. I still think absolute best-case scenario is 9-7 though, but again I'd love to be wrong.
crossrine

[Sepholio]

ESPN had this wonderful graphic up on sportscenter after the SF vs GB highlight showing that only a handful of QB's have ever thrown for 400 yds and 3 touchdowns in the season opener. Kaepernick is up at the top of the list now. What I find funny is that they honestly sat there and compared his game against Peyton Mannings because they both made that list this week....it's already funny that they are comparing a 7 TD performance with a 3 TD performance, but whatever....oh wait, now Eli makes the list too? With 4 TD and 3 INT? ROFL guess his performance matches up with his brothers too. Way to go ESPN.

[Emperor Smeat]

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is facing discipline from the NFL for diving at the knees of an opposing player during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, a league official told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The controversial play occurred during an interception return by Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy, who scored an apparent touchdown to give Detroit the lead. But the play was nullified because Suh was whistled for an illegal low block against Vikings center John Sullivan well behind the play.


The New York Giants will work out free-agent running backs Brandon Jacobs and Willis McGahee on Tuesday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Giants had planned to work out McGahee since Friday, according to the source.

Former New York Jets running back Joe McKnight also will work out for the Giants on Tuesday, sources confirmed to ESPN.

That's insane.

[road doggy dogg]

Raiders are 6 point favourites over the Jags. I don't care how bad Jacksonville, Oakland should not be favoured by 6 at any point in any game at all this season.
crossrine

[Crimson]

Pryor is the goods. Why doesn't J'ville sign Tebow at least he'll sell tickets. But then if he wins games they will take themselves out of the running for Bridgewater. Nevermind

[Emperor Smeat]

I believe both the Jags lost all real interest in him after he signed with the Jets and between a big chunk to majority of the fanbase no longer cares about Tebow.

Baring some team becoming really desperate later this season, nobody is interested in him at the QB spot. Think whatever teams might have considered him lost all interest after even the Pats couldn't find a way to improve him.

[Innovator]

Jacobs takes #34 to honor Derek Ward and Bo Jackson

[DaveBrawl]

The LA KISS want Tebow. I am all for this train ride.

[screech]

Ravens sign RB Shaun Draughn.

Good special teams move with Jacoby Jones out 4-6 weeks. I would have preferred a WR, though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Von Miller facing the possibility of more games being added to his current suspension because of his recent arrest.

If Roger Goodell has grown weary of Von Miller's repeated legal trouble, the NFL commissioner has the authority to add to the Denver Broncos linebacker's current six-game suspension.

Miller is one game into his suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and on Wednesday team officials were privately wrestling with the revelation that Miller was cited last week for driving without a license and speeding.

...

Goodell has repeatedly said he would take a sterner approach with what he called "repeat offenders." That Miller was cited during a suspension has certainly been noticed by league and Broncos executives.

...

Goodell also doesn't have to wait for a conviction or public admission of guilt from a player or league official to invoke the policy. To that end, the policy reads: "It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the league is based, and is lawful."

The Broncos had no official comment Wednesday.

When it comes to the Broncos, there is already precedent for a substance-abuse suspension paired with a personal conduct suspension. Last season, linebacker D.J. Williams was suspended six games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and Goodell added three games for violating the personal conduct policy with multiple DUI-related arrests several years apart.

Shut up Urlacher....go away.

[Team Sheep]

Hoping this torrential rain suits the Jets now. Liking Chris Ivory.

[Team Sheep]

Need to run more on first down!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>What a terrible football game.</font>

[Team Sheep]

Ugh. At least it was close... Would still rather Sanchez in there.

[Emperor Smeat]

Happy at how good the Pats D was tonight but the offense is still pretty miserable. Probably won't be until after the Falcons game that they start to gel a lot better.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I still had the Patriots available in one of my Survivor entries...balked at using them because of all the injuries. Though they wound up winning anyway, this game would have scared the crap out of me otherwise.

Definitely taking the Eagles with one of my picks. I'm not buying into the hype just yet...but the Chargers are terrible, the Eagles are home, and it's too early in the year for people to have figured out how to defend Chip Kelly's offense. Would rather use them now before the league catches on and/or Vick gets hurt.

Not sure about the other pick though. Going back and forth between the Packers and Ravens. Both are home. Packers probably have better "future value" but the Ravens have so many people banged up against a good defense.</font>

[Nark Order]

This seems like the most lackluster Pats team that has been around in quite awhile. But they are 2-0 so maybe it doesn't matter.

[Team Sheep]

Well they've squeaked past the Bills and Jets. Time will tell, as they do tend to look pretty lacklustre in the first few weeks of every season and then just blow everybody away from about week 7 or 8 onwards. That offence definitely seems a lot more out of sorts than usual though, and I think that formula of "Tom Brady can make anybody look good" will run out at some point. I think Miami can shock a lot of people and take the East this year. The Jets will improve but be lucky to get 8 wins at best.

fucking victor cruz needs to calm down

[Emperor Smeat]

What team is Manti Teo on

Chargers.

Hasn't played a game this season nor most of preseason because of an injury.

[Kris P Lettus]

His vigina was injured when he was catfished by a gay dude at the end of last year

[screech]

Hey the Ravens won :)

[Kris P Lettus]

Jimmy Graham used to play basketball, guys.

[OssMan]

Denver getting all these calls against them, seems unfair

[OssMan]

Now "taunting"

[OssMan]

These new uniforms with these dark spots just make it look like the players are sweating profusely on their lower backs/stomachs, honestly am disgusted by this

[Kris P Lettus]

Bucs are dirty as fuck

Kinda giving up on Mark Ingram, just give it to PT

[OssMan]

Keep thinking there is a flag on every play because of that yellow thing that says "final" in the corner of the screen

[OssMan]

O FooK was that Trindon holliday

[Kris P Lettus]

Huge fumble

Bucs will deflate

[Kris P Lettus]

[McLegend]

Why is the Saints/Bucs game still in the 3rd quarter?

[Kris P Lettus]

Hour and thirty min lightning delay in the 1st quarter

[McLegend]

Makes sense

[Evil Vito]

Meh. Not too bummed about the loss today. I expected it. We all knew Denver is a far better team and Peyton is a far better QB.

The East is still pretty terrible. Just gotta get their shit together for Carolina next week.

[Heisenberg]

How about that Aaron Rodgers? All up in Redskin poon tang today

2 wins settled this week for my fantasy teams. Down almost 30 points in a PPR league and AJ Green left to play. Hopefully he lights it up.

I'm bummed, there were chances for the Giants to assert themselves and they couldn't get out of their own way. O-line is terrible/turrible.

[Nark Order]

Well. That was discouraging

[ClockShot]

Jesus. Dalton pass happy in this game. Running game is nonexistent.

[road doggy dogg]

So, everybody is aware that Andy Dalton is an average quarterback at best, right? Christ he looks awful.

<font color=goldenrod>I'd like my Steelers Wild Card prediction stricken from the record plz.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Pats started 0-2 when they made it to the SuperBowl against the Packers, but probably a good idea.

[Evil Vito]

I'm bummed, there were chances for the Giants to assert themselves and they couldn't get out of their own way. O-line is terrible/turrible.

<font color=goldenrod>Randle fumbling right at the goal line was awful, and some of Eli's throws were inexplicably bad. It's baffling that a team with so many offensive weapons makes me audibly say "ah shit" whenever they get inside the 20 yard line. But still, a lot would have had to go right to come away with a win against that Denver team. No pass rush - no chance.

Again the good news is that the entire division looks iffy, so there's plenty of time to sort shit out. But in all honesty, both sides of the line have looked SO bad. This could finally be the year the Giants just flat out suck.

That's not me trying to be pessimistic Vito Cruz, either. The reality is this team hasn't had a losing season since 2004. Despite missing the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years, they've still been a lot more consistent than most teams in the league - and I'll always be grateful for 2 Super Bowls in a 4 year span. But it's really hard to stay at that level for such a long time without having to take a step back and recharge every few years. Just look at the Steelers who seem like they'll be in the same boat.</font>

[Corndad]

It is gonna be a long season for us Steelers Fans. Yikes. Although with how weak I see the North this year they may still have a shot at division even at 0-2. Just need even a little bit of an offense. The Defense still doing it's job. If the offense could score 21 points would win almost every game. I just don't know if that offense is even capable of averaging that this year. Awful Performance the first 2 games. Ben will be knocked out by week 10 at this rate.

[Kris P Lettus]

1st place in the NFC South

[Kris P Lettus]

[Boomer]

Fuck man. Falcons lose starting FB and DE for the year, Sean Weatherspoon just got put on temp IR, Asante Samuel and Roddy White are both playing hurt off and on, and Steven Jackson's injury is still an unknown. Probably going to start seeing these UDFA LBs get some major playing time, along with the rookie corners. Tough treading early.

[RoXer]

Fuck man. Falcons lose starting FB

Can someone pickup John Conner? Please? Why isn't he playing somewhere?

[Boomer]

I know a lot of Falcons fans have brought Conner up as a replacement, but I have no idea what the Falcons will do. FBs certainly aren't important in the NFL anymore, but Ewing had looked really promising for the Falcons. Second year in a row going on IR early...not sure how much more time the Falcons are willing to give him before they give up on him.

[Nark Order]

We really need to come up with an answer foe teams that are similar to us. We have a hard time going up against teams with very similar styles of play. Also though, Seattle is a very hard stadium to play at. I feel like the Seahawks are a good team but when they play the 9ers they elevate themselves to like the best team ever.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did anybody get credit for a defensive touchdown for the broncos for the punt return? I thought they counted those now for Ds?

[ClockShot]

Broncos' Ryan Clady is out for the year.

Another major hole to be filled in. Von and Champ can't get back soon enough.

[RP]

The Colts have lost there starting RB, starting TE and best offensive lineman since training camp, for the season. They probably not winning the SB, but they will beat the 49ers. That's how these things work.

[CSL]

Colts apparently just traded a 1st round pick for Trent Richardson, he of "drafted 3rd overall a year ago" fame

[Nark Order]

What in the holy fucking hell, Browns.

Colts will be nasty as shit now.

[RP]

WE ARE WINNING THE SUPERBOWL MOTHERFUCKERS! EAT SHIT! YARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[road doggy dogg]

As always, God hates Cleveland.

I do have faith in Lombardi though, in that he knows what he's doing. It will be interesting to see their draft next year. Two picks apiece in rounds 1, 3, and 4.
crossrine

[Nark Order]

Yeah. Pretty monster draft coming up but this just feels like it is coming from left field here. Trent Richardson was Cleveland's only offensive franchise player. I guess they feel like they can really rob this upcoming draft here. I hope they're right or this was a really awful move.

[RP]

Cleveland is to beaten down to riot, or else they would riot now.

[owenbrown]

didn't take RP long to declare Super Bowl :lol:

[Boomer]

I don't understand it from the point that Richardson was drafted 3rd overall (and he was probably worth it there), and there is no way the pick they are getting is going to be anywhere near equivalent. At least ask for another low round pick or something...

[#1-norm-fan]

... What the hell are the Browns thinking?

Holy fuck.

[screech]

Lol Browns

[Ruien]

Trent must have wanted out and they granted him a trade. Only explanation that makes sense to me.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to ESPN, it seems to be more the Browns didn't know how to use him in their new system and they pretty much threw in the towel for this season.

But Richardson apparently didn't fit into the plans of Cleveland's front office or new coach Rob Chudzinski's offensive system. Richardson, who rushed for 950 yards as a rookie despite playing most of last season with broken ribs, had gained just 105 yards on 31 carries this season and didn't have the breakaway speed the Browns' new regime was looking for.

"Trent's a great player and we expect him to have success in this league," Banner said. "Right now, based on how we're building this team for sustainable success, we're going to be aggressive and do what it takes to assemble a team that consistently wins."

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9690728/cleveland-browns-trade-trent-richardson-indianapolis-colts

[#1-norm-fan]

So the Colts end up with 2 out of the top 3 picks from last year's draft and the Browns basically give up last year's 7th, 5th, 4th, and 1st round (#4 overall) picks for one 1st rounder next year that will likely be in the bottom half of the round.

Trade of the century.

[ClockShot]

Irsay hit the panic button and that's all there is to it. Vick Ballard went down and I guess they got no faith in Bradshaw or my boy Donald Brown.

Browns could have gotten a king's ransom out of this. But I guess another 1st rounder works just fine.

[ClockShot]

Willis McGahee is in Cleveland taking a physical. Looking like he's gonna be the Browns' runningback until they get it together.

Anybody looking to a runningback for fantasy. Go grab him.

[road doggy dogg]

To play a bit of devil's advocate here...

If there is one area that could be described as a "strength" on the Cleveland Browns, it would be their offensive line. With their line, Richardson simply wasn't getting it done. Given his draft pedigree and relative lack of success at the pro level, it could be argued that his value will never be as high as it is now (or at any point prior), so "cutting bait" on him now as opposed to getting much less of a return for a player they didn't want down the road makes sense.

Also keep in mind he was drafted in 2011, they have an entirely new front office staff top to bottom who may not have wanted a player like Richardson in their plans. It is very typically seen when a team cuts loose a QB that doesn't "fit" the system; why should a RB be any different?

RB is a position that is not terribly difficult to fill. Again, being that they have a good O-line, finding a good back to fit their blocking scheme shouldn't be terribly difficult. There are many holes on the roster that a 1st round pick definitely has more "value" than a good runningback does. Anyone who's read Lombardi on NFL.com or listened to him on the BS Report is familiar with his "blue chip player" mentality. It's possible he simply doesn't feel that Richardson is a blue chip player and he feels that the 1st round pick they received from Indy can potentially be a blue chipper at another position on their roster.


Plus, there's probably a bit of tanking for Clowney/Bridgewater involved as well. Who knows. Again, I'd give Lombardi the benefit of the doubt here.

The timing is odd though, seeing as Brian Hoyer (:| ) is starting this week and they'll need to lean heavily on the running game.

He was drafted last year.

Someone in a 20 team league I'm in already had McGahee for some reason. So I picked up Bobby Rainey. Maybe they see something in him and he can come out of nowhere and produce.

[road doggy dogg]

Erm yeah slight misstep there, though it changes absolutely nothing about my point
