The 2012 NFL thread

I say he's earned the chance to be their starter next year.  There's not really much of an alternative anyway.  There's definitely potential for this kid to be good (not great).

I'm frankly shocked the Bungles have gone on the streak they have, since they lost to the Steelers, and are currently in the playoff picture.  I'll tell you this, though, if the Steelers end up getting beat out of the playoffs by that team withthat head coach then Tomlin should be run out of town on a rail.

To put it lightly, that was a f**king terrible, sloppy game. The Bungles better find a way to shore up that O-line sometime within the next 10 days, or else they won't have a prayer against the Steelers.

And 6 sacks against Dalton too!  You know if the Steelers get that many opportunities, the Bengals might as well give up on their playoff chances.

pretty much neutral on this game, it has 0 impact on the Giants soo I hope it's a good one!
It could be, guess I'm pulling for the Bengals just because but really I want a fun game is all.

Edit: Wow...was pretty tight for a while, and the Eagles D really was playing damn well but what a torrent of fumbles. When you give up that many, and in a short span, you're toast.

Way too early to make a definitive statement but this Foles has talent. Maybe the QB for the Eagles after the failed Vick experiment?

Their O-line has been fairly terrible, and the Bengals lead the league in sacks, so I don't think it's much of a mystery as to how this game will turn out.

Didn't you just predict Houston to win?

Well, not the only good teams but cmon...outside the Broncos the only other legit threat in my mind are the Pats, and while they are very good, certainly have issues.
Seriously, I already had a qualm with the Texans because their pass offense is 99% Schaub to Andre...but now the run is looking worse, and the defense is hurting (and lacks pass rushers). I'm far from sold.

Broncos have a ticket to the SB, it's theirs to lose.

I will give the Pats credit (much as it pains me) they have certainly gone back to a more balanced offense and have really let up on running up the score. They have some great LBs but the line is suspect and can't trust the pass defense. Still, the D doesn't seem as horrendous as last year.

Jody and Raven's nation should be elated. Maybe Flacco will pass to players outside tight ends more than 15% of the time


Well, I expected a Pats win but yikes! That was a beat down.
I do enjoy being right though   I said it: Texans' defense isn't the same, and have no pass rush outside Watt. Aren't running the ball as well and are limited to Andre Johnson really...lack of depth, too one dimensional!

Cam Cameron is gone.

Interested to see how the Pats fare against the Texans and Niners.  Of course, I have to miss the Pats-Niners game flying to the west coast.
