2013 NFL Season

Raiders at home against the Pittsburgh  Steelers. Raiders are coming off a BYE. I'm actually optimistic about this one.

Just wow.

That was ugly as sin.
Actually they've played better games against better teams this year but, that's no surprise. Always to the level of the opponent with em...
Well, glad the Vikings are awful. Can't say I feel good at all but a W is a W. They did a great job of containing AP and actually put the QB on the ground for once.

Peyton Hillis was as impressive as you can be coming off the street.
Really pissed that Eli had 2 TDs and a few other passes dropped on him, but Randle did have a mean grab.
What can you say? Least they finally got #1 done, now onto the next 3 wins

Kevin Gilbride is the dumbest motherf**ker in the NFL. Glad to see in this critical game hes sticking with his classic play calling: run on 2nd & 10, throw a dink pass on ensuing third down. Eli has bailed him out for years but this guy has to be fired . Ruined a beautiful interception...

Believe me, it wasn't easy :(   big blue wrecking crew is now the big blue...anus, I guess?

I do predict a win tonight though. Eli will have a light game, only 400 yds and 4 TDs

Getting ready for an exciting NFC battle tonight Brian?     Let me re phrase, great effort against Brady. Especially with the pressure, I reckon he's the 2nd toughest to get to next to Peyton...     Eh, what can ya say with 0-6? I can't really feel much of anything. If the Giants win tonight 49-0 meh, it's the Vikings and they'll be 4-12 anyway. If anything they dont wanna win TOOO many games...don't want to miss that chance to get clowney   You sure you want Clowney?  That guy sounds like drama.

I don't follow college much, I assume you mean this whole half assing thing he's doing?
Please, if anyone knows anything lemme know but what I hear is:
1) He's being a bitch and half assing this year to either avoid injury or he doesn't wanna play
2) Supposedly he's still considered a top pick by most
3) giants defense is anus

It's a bit concerning I guess if he's not going all out but eh, if you pass on him and he's the next beast pass rusher I'd fire myself as GM!

JJLehto wrote: I mean, I guess if it worked then we wouldn't have given it a thought, of course, but yeah with the game on the line and you have Peyton they choose to run it? Let's say he didn't fumble, what if they stop him? That'd also keep the clock moving. Just don't get it.     Bradford: credit where it's due, he was having a pretty solid year. I guess it feels underwhelming as a #1 pick but yeah, quite a shame there

It would have been better to run it with "Knosho"...sure a fumble can happen whenever but Hillman doesn't seem good at holding onto the ball. A bad coaching decision more than a bad play call IMO.

Of course, I wold have just thrown it to either one of the Thomases but then again I'm biased like that.

Seeing them lose the end of that game because of a guy on ST run into one of his teammates and take a penalty on a new rule gave me feeling in my chest and made today that much better. Not to mention the Browns and Ravens losing. I think that's the first time in my life I've ever rooted for the Steelers. Part of me felt unclean doing it. But being up 2 games now was worth it.

About the call: The Pats ran the same play against the Saints last week. It's a new rule. Most likely the Jets saw it on film and told the refs that the Pats were purposely trying to circumvent the rule change. (Que MoM yelling Cheatriots or Bill Bellicheat or something)
