NFL 2013 Season Thread

[Evil Vito]

Please be Gilbride

<font color=goldenrod>Most of the beat writers seem to be under the impression that all of the coordinators are safe. Coughlin is known as a loyal man who does not like to fire his coordinators. Only 3 have been fired during Coughlin's 10 season Giants run, and all of them seemed to have specific reasoning behind it beyond just "they sucked". John Hufnagel who the players hated, Tim Lewis because they had Spagnuolo specifically targeted for the job, and Bill Sheridan because the owners basically forced him to.

From what I've read, after his 2nd Super Bowl win he's basically given free reign as to who he keeps on his staff. I can't see ownership forcing him to fire Gilbride, as much as I'd like him to. Ditto for Tom Quinn despite the team's historically bad special teams play.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

Woooooooooooooo

[owenbrown]

Either the Titans take their chance with Locker next season and hope he's healthy and build around him, or take their chances in the draft again.

No reason to go after Cutler since he himself can't stay healthy.

Yeah, the defense is good to an extent, it's the offense needing some serious work as usual

Big game for the Cowboys and Bears tonight.

Richard Sherman called the game against the Niners a "glorified practice." Do teams typically lose during practice?

Richard Sherman called the game against the Niners a "glorified practice." Do teams typically lose during practice?

Perhaps he is saying that because he, like the rest of the football world outside of ninerland, know that there is no way in any stretch of the imagination that the Hawks will have to win a playoff game in San Fran this year.

The message that they needed to sent was sent when they throttled San Fran in Seattle earlier.

Colin Cowherd says that Gronk's injury has guaranteed that Peyton is going to the Superbowl.

He must forgot that Peyton Manning is known for choking.

You mean, just like "Peyton Manning can't play well in the cold", as he so ably demonstrated yesterday?

I love when retards make up these completely stupid narratives with no factual basis to them.

Manning is as much a choker as Brady or Brees or any other elite QB who Flacco or Eli couldn't dream of being half as good as.

no, I mean Peyton Manning throws a game ending Pick Six against new Orleans in the Superbowl. Or a game clinching Interception against Baltimore last year in the playoffs.

Or how he would throw 3 interceptions every time he'd play in an AFC Championship. Or how he has a losing playoff record (9-11). yeah idiots who ignore statistical and historical facts make me fucking sick.

Let us also not forget the poor play calling that couldn't convert a 2nd and 1, or a 3rd and 1, and quit throwing the ball late in the game and that Denver defense that allowed Baltimore's offense to score 38 points.

That same pourous Denver defense that will most likely be the reason Peyton has to try to do too much and ends up throwing said interception so this narrative continues another year.

MetLlife Stadium announces tailgating won't be allowed for the upcoming Super Bowl at their location. The official reason is due to safety issues since they don't want the parking lot to be crowded with parties when that space is going to be needed for all the busing and transportation that will be occurring.

I don't think he thought about what he was saying that much. I'm pretty sure he was just being an asshole, as he tends to be. Major shit talker, that man is. He is the first to embrace the "forty whiner" moniker and then blamed the refs for their loss yesterday at the presser. Pretty weak.

No, I didn't omit any of his post season wins. I added all nine. I just didn't forget his 11 losses like so many of his fans tend to do.

I didn't forget that. I just remembered that Denver signed Peyton Manning to make the clutch throws and to make the big play. I remembered that after Flaaco's miracle throw, Peyton still had the ball with a chance to win. Peyton and the Broncos didn't win that game.

It's perfectly okay to have a healthy disagreement. I respect your opinion, I respect the fact that you don't agree with mine.

[Krimzon7]

This table is too much of an eyesore.

Here's an interesting article

http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap2000000285333

[#1-norm-fan]

When you blame the QB for every loss and and only respect the fact that he had a team around him when he wins, it's easy to call any QB a choke artist. Peyton Manning is easily one of the greatest QBs of all time. Switch teams/coaches with him and Brady and Brady is the "choker" of the two.

[#1-norm-fan]

And when you say this...

No, I didn't omit any of his post season wins. I added all nine. I just didn't forget his 11 losses like so many of his fans tend to do.

You ignore this fact that you DID call him a choke artist despite his Super Bowl ring and AFC Championship victories. He has won EVERY GAME THERE IS FOR HIM TO WIN IN A SEASON!!! He has broken every record a man playing his position can break PLUS he has contributed to his team reaching the ultimate team goal. Yet you will continue to shit on him because you have already decided that you will shit on him regardless.

[Nark Order]

Naw. He's definitely a choke artist. Like, for real. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for being incredibly unclutch.

[#1-norm-fan]

Fa real, dawg.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seriously, though... I remember before Peyton won a championship, the knock on him was "Yeah, he's STATISTICALLY one of the greatest of all time but he hasn't won a championship." Then he won a championship. On top of being statistically THE greatest of all time. And then people said "Yeah, but still..."

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! lol He has broken every individual record AND taken his team the distance and people still shit on him. It's the most glaring example of some football fans desperately needing to hate players regardless of what they accomplish.

[Krimzon7]

And when you say this...

The stats are there. Peyton is a regular season stud. Once December/January hits, he is a different player. And weather has nothing to do with it.

[road doggy dogg]

You're probably one of those idiots that thinks Romo is a huge choke artist too. Keep feeding into that ESPN hype machine bro!

[Heisenberg]

Don't count him out, he's been on the sidelines growing a stache and resting his body, he won't go down without a fight, plus he can blame it all on the rest if they don't make it.

[Krimzon7]

I acknowledge that you, and a lot of people value the accumulation of yards, statistics, and records over the course of a career. In that regard Peyton Manning is amazing. During the Season, he is spectacular and damn near unbeatable.

You have to acknowledge that I and a lot of people measure a quarterback (who gets all the credit for a win and all the blame for a loss) in wins, losses, and championships.

In this regard, Peyton has a lot of regular seasons wins, and very few losses. IN THE PLAYOFFS, HE HAS MORE LOSSES THAN WINS, AND HE HAS ONLY ONE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The statistics you are so willing to suck Peyton's dick for will be eclipsed by somebody one day. When these passing records erode, history will only remember one thing: Super Bowl championships. Can you tell me how many touchdowns Terry Bradshaw threw for in the 70's? Probably not. Can you tell me how many Superbowl championships he has?

Yeah, I'm sure you can.

EPIC!!!

[Nark Order]

I don't ever agree with Krimzon but I'm on board here. Peyton Manning is an incredible regular season QB but he can never be compared to guys like Montana who were lights out when it mattered most. You can cite all of the stats, numbers, and plays that you want but it still remains that he makes quite a few boneheaded plays when the game is on the line and it costs his team championships. He's still one of the best players of our generation as a regular season competitor, but he doesn't win when it matters.

[Heisenberg]

Like a Dan Marino with a Super Bowl ring?

[screech]

but he doesn't win when it matters.

...except when he won the Superbowl.

[Nark Order]

When comparing the amount of season wins he has to playoff wins, it is a bit off. Fairly disproportionate. He is a much better player than how he plays in the playoffs and there has to be a reason for it. He just isn't a clutch player for the most part when it matters. We will see what happens in January but I have a feeling they aren't going to the Superbowl, despite this immense season.

Nobody is saying he is an awful player. That isn't the argument. He's incredible when it doesn't matter. He just isn't a very clutch player in the playoffs when compared to how great he is in the regular season. And yes. He has a championship. I understand that. But the numbers from season wins to playoff wins are pretty disproportionate.

[Nark Order]

Really hope Niners get the chance to walk into Seattle again in January. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility to hand them an upset at the CLink. Look what the Bucs almost did awhile back. Our offense is getting stronger and stronger every week as we readjust to having everybody back in play again. "Nobody can beat the Hawks in Seattle" seems to be being built as some infallible legend or something but I don't think it is as impossible as ESPN is billing it to be. That seems to be their newest jackoff material lately. I hope we get the chance to break their spirits yet again.

This is how it always is because football people are only allowed to think in absolutes. Whenever someone spots a trend in football someone always pops up with the argument that this trend is guaranteed to continue in the same way forever even though history shows that's a really stupid opinion to have.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

You can apply that to this little Peyton Manning clutchness argument you're having. Everybody makes a big to do about how he's either super unclutch or he's super clutch and it's not his fault and nobody ever takes up the most rational answer which is yeah he's kinda clutch sometimes but not all the time.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Football is a really dumb sport.

I don't know why I like it.

And I can't believe you made me agree with #1-wwf-fan, Narc. I thought we were friends.

[Krimzon7]

Like a Dan Marino with a Super Bowl ring?

Brett Farve is a more direct comparison.

Exactly. He's phenomenal in the regular season. When he hits the playoffs and is playing THE best teams in the league as opposed to two games against the Raiders and whatever shitty to middle of the pack teams are on the schedule, naturally his dominance declines. Sometimes he throws for 5 touchdowns and plays flawlessly in a playoff game and helps lead his team to victory. Sometimes he has a shitty game against a good team like he has at times in the regular season and loses. And sometimes... HE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.

[Krimzon7]

Yeah, but only ONE! Psh. That loser.

Only ONE!!! when his contemporaries have wone two(big ben), or three(Tom Brady)

Shit, even his retarded assed brother has won two.

I mean he's a great stat sheet stuffer. I promise you that he would give every stupid stat that you're clinging to in order to define his greatness for one of these guys' title.

[screech]

And he's still considered one of the best quarterbacks ever, and would be even without the ring.

[Heisenberg]

Brett Farve is a more direct comparison.

Brett Favre is one of the best QBs ever to step foot into the squared stadium.

[road doggy dogg]

This is getting silly.

[Heisenberg]

Brett goes hard, probably won't be remembered that much, I know.

What is silly tho? The Redskins QB media storm that is taking away from teams that are actually still in the playoff hunt.

[road doggy dogg]

Oh don't mistake the timing of my words. Brett is probably the most fun QB I've ever seen play the game, and he's defs a top-5 all time.

I just meant the whole "hey let's nitpick Peyton Manning's entire career because it's not like he's arguably the best QB of all time ever or anything" argument that always pops up (not necessarily here but it just happens to be right now)

Along these lines, during the Sunday night game this week they highlighted Justin Tuck sacking the tits off of RGIII and then cut immediately to a Subway commercial with the two of them palling around. It made me chuckle.

[road doggy dogg]

Haha that reminds me of a couple weeks ago I was watching TV, and a commercial for Finding Bigfoot (some stupid ass TV show about Bigfoot on Animal Planet) came on, then literally the very next commercial was one of the Jack Links Beef Jerky ones where they're pranking Bigfoot. Could not have been a more ridiculous sequence of two commercials back to back.

And since you never know how the Pats will play without Gronk - who knows. Can't remember the last time the top 2 seeds in a conference went one and done. Doesn't happen often certainly, but if were going to happen these are the kind of circumstances you'd need.</font>

One more slip up by Denver, and the Last two weeks could mean a First Round Bye.

<font color=goldenrod>Damn. The Giants officially clinch a losing season, first time for that since I was a sophomore in high school. Shitty year but I can't really complain. In the NFL that's a LONG time to put up seasons over .500 and stay in the race to the end. Not many teams get to enjoy that kind of run.

Here's hoping for a productive offseason, dumping Gilbride, Nicks, and some of the dead weight. And for the love of god please revamp that O-line. Draft, free agency, whatever you have to do. That's priority number 1.</font>

At this point, I almost feel like even if they don't go QB in the draft, Kellen Clemens has a better shot of starting in week 1 than Bradford.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams traded down for more pieces, tbh. Might be the smartest move for them.

They are similar to the Cowboys this year where everything falls in place for them to take the division only to start messing up at the wrong times. Both coaches are probably on the hot seat and both probably need to win the division to make the playoffs although Cowboys at least still control their destiny.

They are seemingly incapable of scoring touchdowns, but they keep finding ways to win anyway. Feel like most of their wins have come via scores in the last 2:00.

Doesn't mean Tisch or Mara have faith. Eli has no faith in his line or his receivers, he can't even get set on a 3 step drop without getting hit.

[Heisenberg]

Is there any chance, and I'm not starting rumors cuz, that Jon Gruden could come on as the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?

I think that would make my head explode being that close to positivity, his radiant presence could improve a couple things there.

Big Gruden mark over here, that would probably kill me inside to think that.

[ClockShot]

I Don't think Jon Gruden would come out of retirement to work with a nutcase like Jerry Jones.

Seems pretty happy doing MNF and college football stuff.

If Jon Gruden hasn't gotten back into coaching by now, he isn't going to.

Saints release K Hartley

[Evil Vito]

Doesn't mean Tisch or Mara have faith. Eli has no faith in his line or his receivers, he can't even get set on a 3 step drop without getting hit.

<font color=goldenrod>Eli has openly praised Gilbride's system along with Coughlin. If the Giants hadn't won a second Super Bowl under Coughlin, I could see Mara or Tisch stepping in as they did when Bill Sheridan got fired. But after 2 Super Bowls I think they're giving Coughlin full autonomy with his coaching staff.

I hope I'm wrong, of course. I think Gilbride is absolutely horrendous. But I think they try to revamp the line, get a new WR to plug into the 3rd spot with Randle getting bumped to #2, and they keep stupid ass Gilbride. Coughlin isn't on the hot seat 2 years removed from a Super Bowl and like it or not Eli will be their QB for another 4 or 5 years probably. Management will keep the coaches those guys are happiest with.</font>

Tirico has some kind of spell over Gruden that makes him overly happy at everything, and when that spell breaks Gruden is going to snap and join a team as coach.

It will be the football equivalent of the nWo when he joins the Cowboys.

NFL ended up fining Terence Garvin $25,000 for the hit he gave to Kevin Huber that resulted in a broken jaw and cracked vertebra for Huber.

Peyton Manning throws touchdown #51. Setting the record in the season.

[Emperor Smeat]

Peyton breaks the record

Baring a serious injury, was inevitable once he started to get really close to it. KC being really competitive in the division meant he wasn't going to get the same type of rest Brady got in 07.

[#1-norm-fan]

What rest did Brady get in 07? Didn't he play just about every play of every game just like Manning?

[Emperor Smeat]

Had several games around mid to late in the season where he barely played in the 4th quarter. The division itself was practically over by the middle of the season.

[#1-norm-fan]

If he didn't play, it was mostly just to hand the ball off in a blowout though so it's not like it was cutting into his chances to extend the record. Cassel only threw 7 passes all year.

[Kris P Lettus]

gutted

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if Philly is gonna rest their starters tonight now. It's a "meaningless" game in a way but then again, a win means they're the 3rd seed if they win the division and a loss means their the 4th seed. That could be the difference between having to play in Seattle on a weeks rest and avoiding them.

[Innovator]

I wouldn't rest the players, over the past couple years it rarely works out and the team comes out sluggish next game not getting their work in.

[Innovator]

[Corndad]

How the Steelers still have a mathematical chance at the 6 seed next week shows no one actually wants to be the 6th Seed lol. If only could have beat like an Oakland or Minnesota or Tennessee or not stepped out of bounds going in for TD against Miami. Any of those would have happened. My Gawd.

[DaveWadding]

THE CARDINALS JUST BROKE A TWO YEAR LONG HOME WINNING STREAK. WOOOOOOOOOO

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

4 Teams 1 Spot. Nobody has their destiny in their own hands. Never seen it like this before.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, this is the first time I can ever remember there being a situation where there's a spot up for grabs and no one is in a "win and you're in" situation for it.

Baltimore needs: A win and a Mia loss OR a Pit, SD and Miami loss

Miami needs: A win and a Bal loss OR a win and SD win

San Diego needs: A win and a Bal and Mia loss

Pittsburgh needs: A win and a Bal, Mia and SD loss

I'm thinking it's gonna be Baltimore.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Miami and Pittsburg have the easiest opponents (Jets and Browns.)

I think the Dolphins have the best chance because the Ravens are facing a tough opponent in Cincy who will want to take out their division thorn and Super Bowl Champion of last year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Eagles-Cowboys game next week got flexed into the Sunday Night spot.

[Nark Order]

Jesus. It is still possible for the 9ers to take the west. 9ers would have to beat the Falcons and the Cardinals and the Seahawks would have to lose to the Rams next week. It's looking unlikely but if the Cards took it to the Seachickens at home, the Rams definitely have at least a shot.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You're looking at the TPWW Fantasy Consolation Tournament Champion!

[#1-norm-fan]

... Why did Philly challenging the turnover not make it un-reviewable? Did they change that rule this off-season and I'm not aware of it?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

All turnovers are reviewed by the league making it unable to be reviewed? Don't know.

[#1-norm-fan]

Last year on Thanksgiving Detroit challenged a play that was already automatically reviewed and was penalized by the play no longer being eligible for review. I'm wondering why Philly wasn't penalized the same way.

Fucking convoluted NFL rules.

Might be a good idea to pack it in. They have the all or nothing game against the Packers next week.

[Triple A]

Baltimore needs: A win and a Mia loss

Miami needs: A win and a Bal loss

How's that? What if they both win... confused

[Emperor Smeat]

... Why did Philly challenging the turnover not make it un-reviewable? Did they change that rule this off-season and I'm not aware of it?

Did a quick Google search and yeup it was among the changes done for this season.

Coaches tossing red flags no longer make automatic challenges become un-reviewable nor cause a penalty, refs just ignore the red flags if its thrown.

[Triple A]

Not one of the quartet in the hunt fully controls its own destiny — a bizarre twist added by the NFL’s tiebreaker scenarios. Miami currently holds the edge on Baltimore because San Diego, a winner Sunday, created a three-team tie at 8-7. In that scenario, the Ravens’ win over Miami is canceled out by Miami’s win over San Diego, pushing the conference-record tiebreaker to the forefront. The Dolphins hold that edge on both the Ravens and Chargers.

That aforementioned three-team tiebreaker? Baltimore needs to break it in Week 17 to pull back into the No. 6 seed. The Ravens have to do that by winning, first of all, and then getting the Dolphins or Chargers to trip up. Head-to-head, Baltimore would hold the tiebreaker edge on either of those teams. In a three-team jumble where all three teams have the same record, the Ravens would miss out.

damn

[owenbrown]

I guess we all love to watch the Cowboys fail in week 17.

Cincinnati has the Tie Breaker against New England. They have a shot at a first round bye next week. How is that difficult to understand?

[#1-norm-fan]

Cincinnati has the Tie Breaker against New England. They have a shot at a first round bye next week. How is that difficult to understand?

You said "The Bengals Ravens Game IS gonna be for a Number 2 seed!" and then proceeded to explain that they only HAVE A SHOT if New England falters. That's why it was hard to understand. You don't seem to know what words mean.

[Krimzon7]

How did Deon Sanders Go into the Hall of Fame. I tend to remember him as a Cowboy. How does the NFL or fans, or even himself remember him as?

[Krimzon7]

You said "The Bengals Ravens Game IS gonna be for a Number 2 seed!" and then proceeded to explain that they only HAVE A SHOT if New England falters. That's why it was hard to understand. You don't seem to know what words mean.

Oh, right. I'm sorry, I didn't know that you didn't understand how the NFL would market this game if it was flexed.

The sentence is a LEAD. A Lead is a group of words containing a subject, verb and a predicate that is intended to generate enough interest in a story to encourage a person to further investigate(by tuning in or reading further).

[Krimzon7]

The Oregon way looks like it can work in the NFL. Happy for Chip Kelly.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh, so you just said "The Bengals Ravens Game is gonna be for the number 2 seed!" to show an example of how the NFL would market it next week if New England were to lose and it were to become for the number 2 seed.

Of course! How did I not understand that!?

[#1-norm-fan]

How this conversation should have gone...

"The Bengals Ravens Game is gonna be for a Number 2 seed!"

"What?"

"I misspoke. I mean if New England loses then it's for the number 2 seed."

"Oh, alright."

[Krimzon7]

How this conversation actually went:

The Bengaals game is gonna be for a #2 seed. IT IS A MORE INTRIGUING GAME THAN THE COWBOYS GAME.

'I hate the fact that you're implying that my team is going to lose again and further drive me insane. So let me pick apart this statement. I take everything literally and I am incapable of seeing anything any other way because of my massive ego which is primarily fueled by winning internet board arguments. With that being said, k7, and after you further explained your statement, I will find a way to make this into yet another combative argument.'

[#1-norm-fan]

I will find a way to make this into yet another combative argument.'

Dude... you said something that didn't seem correct... I questioned it... it turned out NOT to be true... and then YOU got pissy toward ME for "not understanding it". lol

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't know. If I said "The Steelers Browns game next week is gonna be for the 6 seed!" (which I wouldn't... because it just doesn't make sense to say.) and then someone questioned me, I'd probably explain "I mean if San Diego, Baltimore and Miami loses, it would be for the 6th seed." and that would be that. As opposed to trying this pissy, ridiculous "How do you not understand that I was just saying it the way the NFL would say it if it were flexed!" as if it's their fault for not building this ridiculous loophole where that isn't a wrong statement. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

Here's the actual playoff scenarios for next week though.

Arizona has a good shot at ending up 11-5 and being 3rd in their division and missing the playoffs. Just shows how lopsided the NFC divisions are.

Colts need the Bengals and Pats to lose next week.

[DaveBrawl]

So I'm still a little confused. If Baltimore and Miami win next week but the Charger's lose then Baltimore gets in?

[screech]

Correct. Because Baltimore beat Miami, they would be the 6 seed if the two teams finish with the same record.

Miami takes it with a three-way tie, though, because of their conference record.
