Colts coach Chuck Pagano hinting he's gone after this season regardless what happens because him and the GM can't get along anymore. Part of it due to the Colts unwilling to give him a long term deal and the other part due to him having no say on management decisions.

Ready to see Trestman get the axe

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hell of a game regardless. War of the defenses today.

Was Flacco trying to pull another patented PI throw with that lob?

Seemed like a really odd throw to do unless the plan was for the PI call had Smith not actually caught it for a brief moment.

Goddammit

Suggs is done for the year. Ugh

Just wait till you hear him in a press conference

<font color=goldenrod>I've never been less excited for a Giants opener.</font>

When does the Madden Curse strike?

<font color=goldenrod>I think players have escaped the Madden Curse relatively unscathed the last few years.

I'm just struggling to see how the Giants defense doesn't get lit up tonight.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>aaaand the Cowboys are making it look effortless. Shocker.</font>

Vito Cruz i'm making some casual posts in the casual NFL thread if you wanna post there.

So whoever wins this, the loser get their Direct TV ad pulled, right?

KILL KILL KILL!

Cris: He's not trying to kill anybody guys. :)

Goodell: The crowd is dead.

Ref: OK.

Ref: Pass Interference!

Next play Touchdown.

Out at the one throw it to Randle.

lol Cris be trolling Seahawks.

I had to go win $2000 at blackjack to get over that Ravens game

8-6 so far plus got the upset pick

Romo. Clutch

lol Droford talking about blackjack after that come back?

With retarded gameplanning. But yes.

9-5 currently in PICK THEM.

Haha Romo putting Andre Gurode on blast, saying he had practice on botched snaps

Yeah you defintely run in that situation, and maybe you go for it on 4th down.

Eli should not have thrown away either.

Definitely wouldn't go for it on 4th down. Not running it on 3rd though. What.

Could either return after the Pats game or after the 2nd Giants game.

<font color=goldenrod>not sure how any Giants fan can watch tonight and actually take away positives from the performance. the defense proved they are not ready for crunch time at all and the pass rush is completely non-existent. Dallas' O-line may be great but not even coming close to a sack is pretty humiliating.

and at the end of the day they straight up gave away a game to a divisional rival which will almost certainly come back to bite them down the line.

I realistically thought this team would go 8-8 at best. still well within the range of possibility but 8 wins in the NFC won't get you anywhere regardless.</font>

Dez out 4-6 was weeks with broken bone in his foot.

I wish I had money on the Giants, pissed me off too

Football

So, what's this about Eli Manning telling one of his guys not to score?

Sam Bradford looks he hasn't played a game in two years.

Yeah. That was by far the most poorly handled end of a game in NFL history. The guy told his running back NOT to score to put them up by 10 with under 2 minutes left. And then proceeded to throw a pass out of the back of the endzone to stop the clock on third down. lol

<font color=goldenrod>I've defended Eli a ton over the years, mainly with the amount people like to focus on his INTs when a lot of them really aren't his fault. In fact Romo's INTs yesterday looked a lot like what I've seen out of Eli the last few years. Just a lot of unfortunate bounces off of his own receivers.

But the way he handled the end of last night's game was comically bad. And he was explaining himself on Francesa's show today and he just sounded flat-out retarded in trying to do so.

And hell, while telling Jennings to not score was retarded, there was no guarantee he would have made it even if he tried. The Giants have sucked on the goal line for years. But on that third down, christ how do you not at least take a sack? Just dumb.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>All told, it wasn't exactly a confidence builder to have THAT be the first game after signing his 4-year extension. In fairness, there really doesn't seem to be another hotshot "savior" QB in the college ranks on the horizon, and their current backup (Ryan Nassib) is straight up trash. Eli probably is the best option for them in the next few years.

Unfortunately the team still needs a lot of work. I had the Giants penciled in for 7 or 8 wins this year and definitely didn't see a win in Dallas coming, so 7 or 8 is still entirely doable with their schedule. But it clearly won't be enough for the playoffs. I'll never outright root for a loss, but fuck...bottoming out at 4-12 or some shit might be better long-term than getting 7 or 8 wins and having Reese think "okay that's not terrible, just need to add a piece or two."</font>

C'mon don't kick the field goal.

Mother of Fuck

They won't get the ball back

Woohoo

Never understood taking timeouts before the 2 minute warning in that situation when the time clock is at like 2:20. You're only saving 20 seconds. If you wait til after the 2 minute warning, you're saving 40. Might as well let them run off the 20 and save the timeout.

Shit

Good thing Al Davis doesn't have to see themes niners jerseys. He'd be pissed.

Cowboys traded a conditional pick for WR Brice Butler to the Raiders.

I don't know much about Brice Butler except that I know a few Raiders fans who wanted him to get more playing time last year. And considering Oakland's lack of an eye for talent over the years, he could be a good pickup.

Aaron Rodgers is gross. I like men who play Hockey.

Ok thanks for your take

your welcome

Ravens signed Jason Babin. He was good once, right?

Ryan Mallett starting for Houston this week

Gotta see who I picked in my office pool

Fucking PHI ass kicker lost the game and cost me $500.00 in the confidence pool at work.

He had 18 sacks for the Eagles in 2011

Pats picked up a new possible KR or PR with Keshawn Martin from the Texans.

Recent Deadspin report revealed how the NFL forced prosecutors in the Greg Hardy domestic violence case to hand over records not meant to be available to the public. Main reason was for PR reasons in case sensitive stuff from the case got released/leaked before the NFL could punish him and prevent public backlash if it was seen as weak.

They were given normal records available to the public whenever a criminal case is reported but wanted more sensitive records that were hands-off for legal reasons. Ended up striking a secret deal which allowed the NFL to get those files while claiming deniability in case anyone tried to find out about it earlier. Only got to see the crime photos and files for a day before handing it right back to prosecutors.

Biggest thing the DA was worried about was someone from the NFL's side leaking files to Hardy's legal team which they might have actually done prior to them getting the really sensitive stuff. Ended up tweaking the deal so that while the NFL got the legal power to access the files, the NFLPA would get zero access regardless if it was fair or not.

NFL tries to avoid stepping in shit and now steps into another pile.

Had no idea Jason Babin was still in the league. Haven't heard that name in years it seems.

<font color=goldenrod>NFL confirmed today that the PI call on DRC was incorrect AND they acknowledged that a holding call on Daniel Fells was missed during the ill-fated "3rd down throw the ball out of the end zone" play.

So even with the dumbest decision ever, they should have won.

Well that sure makes me feel better.</font> :|

<font color=goldenrod>Also I doubt JPP will be back anytime soon, if at all. No index finger, part of his thumb missing, AND his middle finger/ring finger appear to be a bit fucked too. The guy cost himself millions upon millions.</font>

http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopo...d18s-4-web.jpg

Early pick for tonight

I was trying to explain to my wife the whole JPP thing, she couldn't get why he was even lighting off fireworks in the first place

Lmao great post owen

WTF is he doing in this picture

Will update moving forward

<font color=goldenrod>lol the Giants defense is a fucking disgrace. If they win more than 4 games I'll be shocked.</font>

Larry Fitzgerald is God.

Preston Parker is not

<font color=goldenrod>I hope Preston Parker gets raped in the shower.</font>

Vito, it's ok. Everyone on facebook is calling for Coughlin to be fired.

<font color=goldenrod>I've never seen a team less disciplined than the Giants. Zero clock management and the defense always folds in the clutch.</font>

:lol:

That ":lol:"will almost assuredly be thrown back in myself before the day is over.

Also Erin Andrews looking really good.

Pats came very close to blowing the game against the Bills.

Not sure why Belichick likes to get really stubborn with not using the run whenever they get a big lead.

Guys, I think I hate Sam Bradford.

Steve Smiths gonna have 200 yards receiving, Ravens still gonna lose lol

Yep I definitely hate him.

Raiders stupid for wearing black jersey in 90+ degree heat

Flacco will get 400 yards passing, still gonna lose

Tony Romo broken left collarbone.

Hhhheeeerrrrees JOHNY!!!!

Lol

What just happened in Oakland haha haha

26 seconds lol

<font color=goldenrod>so the Giants could be 2-0 right now with the Eagles looking like shit and Romo possibly being out for the year

Fuck my life</font>

That was one of the most heinous Eagles games I've ever seen.

I fear The Eagles could be legitimately bad. In fact they probably are.

Well this is certainly the shittiest I've felt after a win.

Defense is playing fucking stellar. But Goddammit.

lolRavens though.

Oakland though. For real?

:lol:

Fuck you, Innovator

Hey, hey man. Both our teams are horrible

Mine is much worse though.
