The 2012 NFL thread

wow, not much to say about that one, giants sucked. Worried how that offense is sputtering now. Besides one good drive we did nothing. Eli threw into triple coverage and again that play calling at critical times is just mind boggling. Really can't say they deserved to win this one.

Nah we were horribly outmatched, like I said that was a bad call so we really should've had 7 less points still. I mean yikes, that first half I think most of our progress was penalties 
And the third game now where the offense is really floundering, very concerning.

What calls were head scratchers? The giants? Dude our OC is a lunatic. He goes for the bomb when it really makes no sense, he's hideously conservative when they need to be aggressive, sometime we just dont know what hes thinking. I love Eli much as anyone but can't always go for the deep ball...and he still runs it on almost every second down

Well least the Redskins lost, hoping Dallas and Philly go down, at least this poor game ends up a wash then.

Ah, yeah sadly it's part of the game we have to accept, bad calls are something that needs to be brushed off and just keep playing on, which the Steelers did.

other news: 51-20 Bears!? A Rod is still the best QB in the NFL, 251 yards and 4 TDs from Doug Martin. Insane!
Not as insane as the Lions winning with their run game...another awesome week, with 2 more good games yet to finish/be played.

I literally just saw the highlights of the game.  Road tripped it to Akron to see Ian Anderson and got out of radio range right after the awful personal foul call (the radio guys were incensed by both that and the pass interference call earlier in that drive, which I've yet to see)  which gave the Giants their first TD.  Was relying on texts from my father to keep me posted.  Got the good news a few minutes before the concert started so it was a great night for me, all around.  Seems like the refs might have been taking pity on NY, after the hurricane, as it seems hard to believe they could've been that bad.  Before the game I saw GODell making sure to get himself on tv shaking hands with first responders and knew his attendence could spell problems for the Steelers defense.  It could have been the reason for the silly call against Ryan Clark and I imagine Harrison had to be walking on egg shells during the game.  Happy with the win and the continued dominance of the Steelers' running game!  (Exclaimation point for the existence of a running game in Pittsburgh.  Seems like it's been forever.)  Did I ever mention I really like Todd Haley?

Don't get toooo happy MoM....The Giants defense after all
I'll admit, while our D sucks they are clutch...always a sack, pick or fumble at just the right time, even if they do nothing else. Can't maintain that forever though, and I think the faith/gamble, always go for the deep pass offense we've been running was also a time bomb. Sadly the Giants were heading for this loss and it finally whacked em. Colonel Coughlin needs to whip em into shape fast.

At least the Skins and Boys lost. If the Eagles go down, then the Giants loss never happened and thank god it happened against an AFC team.
Speaking of the Eagles, yikes! I like seeing Vick get pummeled but this is almost getting painful to watch.

Edit: Oh, this may not seem like a big deal but MWH will get me. David Diehl came back against the Steelers. The guys at PFF rated him the worst Tackle AND Guard in the NFL in 2011. He played two spots, and was the worst at both
Sure enough, he was letting people by like a turnstile. The Giants have no problem cutting anyone, even vets but they keep that POS around

Hey if ya saw my comment, well I'll just make sure:

Trust me, few Giants fans there really thought otherwise. Sometimes the bad ref calls hurt you, sometimes they help!
Seriously, it does pain me..the big blue wrecking crew? Man, the small blue knitting crew is more like it. OK that sucked but I have a headache and am woozy from gas fumes from 2 hour lines. Cut me some slack!


IDK if the Eagles or Saints want to win this game. They aren't looking like it!

I can't feel humor, Im still so angry. Thank goodness the Eagles are getting walloped :D

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the NFC East, Giants fans.

Peyton the prophet.

Well...you hate to gripe when you win but the gmen have had their problems and it was bound to come to light. O line has failed (ever since Diehl came back) Eli fail, defense started off sh*t, though tough to always be in their bad position. Just wow.
