The 2012 NFL thread

Pffft...because he's beneficial to you Rob...
Nah, Peyton is doing as we would expect, assuming he was healthy. Also, we knew Denver had a solid D, run game and some decent wideouts. Great achievement but what AP is doing is insane. He's also more important. The Broncos managed some success with Tebow. Without AP, Vikes are probably 0-1 wins


Stillers/Ravens game has been pretty good, more or less what we expect. Looks like both has upped their game but Pittsburgh...well Charlie Batch  Ed Reed is held together by band aids and still is a beast.
Edit: Wow, tight game. I wanna point out the irony, mainly to MoM, that the Stillers were the lesser team in this game, but thanks to their weak opponent, and doing just enough...they eeked a win. How's it feel to be what you complain about?

Mr. Batch, you got the job done today. Nice comeback along with the D. Usual rockem sockem game.

The Steelers were the lesser team in this game according to Mr. JJLehto but they rose to the occasion and also put Mr. Suggs in the locker room. Loved those cheap roughing the passer penalties on the parakeets.....trying to bury an old man like Charlie Batch.

He sucks^ Flacco I mean.

Key word there being potential. Baltimore is one of only two teams in the NFL to have a marching band.

Oh and every game has sh*t calls on both sides, rarely does it truly impact the overall game.
And sorry...Flacco great? IDK about that man. Good sure, and as for the playoffs. Cmon dude the AFC is weak as hell right now. Hell, the Jets are still in the playoff picture technically.


Any of you wanna start a podcast? We know more about football really than most big wigs on TV and we're more profane/fun

How dare someone who's team got an entire drive because of a terrible terrible defensive holding call complain about the refs.  The pass interference was pretty awful too.  

Yes yes, all you ever retort is the "I miss the olden days" just worded differently. Its 2012, like it or not this is how it is.
The real shame is when healthy Harrison is one of the best outside linebackers in the whole NFL, regardless of scheme. Great pass rusher who also covers. Tackles, is a complete LB who can pass rush. He doesn't even need dirty play, that's just laziness/an outdated mentality.
And see there you go. Like I said, whenever the Steelers are not involved you act like this is the BCS. The W is the W man. Some are ugly and that's why we have playoffs. The best rise to the top. Though you disregard playoffs too. Why not just have the fans/writers/computers decide the SB so the Cowboys and Steelers can play every year?

Nothing against Peyton but we expected him to be great, assuming he was healthy, AP's year after a huge knee injury..this is comeback player of the year and then some.   Yeah, but Peyton missed an entire season and has come back in MVP form.  Not to say that AP hasn't, but QB is a much tougher position to come back to form in than RB.  AP has been incredible; Peyton has been legendary.  Also, the Broncos are winning convincingly (whereas the Vikes aren't really winning), and a lot of the credit could be placed on Peyton's shoulders.    ause of Peyton.  And another heartbreaking defeat for the Lions.  I want heads to roll on that defensive coaching side.  Awful, awful last 2-3 minutes. Running backs are killed by injury. An ACL pretty much destroys a RB. The Vikings are atrocious. They don't have a qb or a wr. AP is their only weapon. He's much more impressive. Denver has a good defense, a good running game, and two very solid receivers.

Precisely, AP's year is near miraculous honestly. The Bronco's had 8 wins with the worst starting QB seen since the 1940s they are just doing what we'd expect with a healthy Peyton. If they've done worse than this it'd be a failure.

And yikes, this Brown on the Eagles looks even better than McCoy! He is running like a man possessed. If this Foles show promise, I'd say dump Vick, focus on the 2 backs and rebuild a nasty team. Of course I'd hate that

If Brown can learn to hold on to the ball, watch out.  Loved his explosiveness last night.  Foles looked pretty damn good too, especially considering the patchwork O-line and no Shady or Jackson.

I  always hate that passing interference rule where they put the ball at the point of infraction, i think it's became too easy too throw the ball near your offensive player and the defender hoping that one interfere with the other by a touch of a finger. I know that the Steelers have not always played by the rules, but come on, the game is suffering by a excess of penalties. If the Steelers didn'tt gave up the ball so often by turnovers and drop balls (Mr. Wallace...), the Ravens would have lost all the games against the Steelers.
