2013 NFL Season

And yeah, terrible news about AP today. Thoughts going out to him and his family. A terribly tragic story.

Terrible. Guy's only 28 and has to deal with losing his kid. 

I wonder if the 2008 Detroit Lions will start to get together as a team and celebrate when the last team finally gets its first win of the year, kind of like the 72 Dolphins get together to celebrate after the last team gets their first loss of the season.

He had 3 tonight.  He's averaging 2/game, though, and is on pace for 32 this year.  And to think, the Giants are still in playoff contention at 0-6. 

Well....at least they were in this game and showed some fight. Yup, it's gotten so bad I have to take that as a victory lol :( sad. But was good to see this o line hold up pretty well. Hope they can keep this lineup here out. Offense looked so much better with a good line, shocker, even old slow ass Brandon Jacobs ran well : O. First good run game since 2009 I think lol

His line is awesome but holy sh*t the way he can elude pressure and get that ball out so fast. I'm tempted to say no one can stop Denver, just hope to outscore em or that they stop themselves...but I'll keep the faith. Every offense can be stopped, maybe KC will do it! Cincinnati's D-line could handle Denvers O-line, and after the game against the Patriots, their secondary could probably help keep the Broncos to under 30 points. Of course, their offense can be anemic enough to keep them out of the game. Who's the second best team in the AFC right now? That title is most assuredly up for grabs between Cincinnati, New England, Baltimore, Miami, and Indianapolis. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if those are the teams who make the playoffs behind Denver. I don't think Houston or Cleveland quite have what it takes. Cleveland is on the upswing, but I just don't see much more upside. I agree on those all being AFC teams that make the playoffs. I think Cleveland's defense is certainly on the rise, but they still have a ways to go before I'm convinced they become serious competition for us in the AFC North. Although with the Steelers likely out of it for 2-3 years, you never know. I think defensively, we can hold our own. If Brady can't even put up 200 yards against our D, and we can hold guys like Brees and Rodgers to under 300, I don't see Peyton scoring 30 on our defense. I think how far we go in the playoffs is how well the offense gels. I don't think Andy has to necessarily make huge leaps and bounds, but he certainly needs to not turn the ball over. I think if that gets corrected, we can hold our own against any team. But man, that defense. We can just rush 4 all day long and still get pressure! Not to mention we've had Johnson out and Leon Hall's been gone the past 2 weeks. Although Marvin said his chances of playing against the Bills on Sunday seem pretty good. But the guys who have filled in have certainly stepped up.

Another thing about Dalton too. I remember reading a lot of negativity about Dalton in his first season with the Bengals back in 2011, because he was very conservative with the football. He didn't throw many picks, and he was content to throw the ball away rather than force throws. On the other hand, he's changed his approach last season and this one, where he's being more aggressive, and has thus turned the ball over more. Last season he was hurt by a poor running game, and had to carry some of the weight himself. This season, the running game is still figuring things out, but is proving it's better than last season, but Dalton also seems to be trying to find that happy medium. I do hope he finds it.

Well you can't usually rally from being like 1-10

Yeah I think I can agree with that. You have to figure that the two wild card spots will come from the West and the North so that we can just count them out of the playoffs.

Day can't be much better after hearing that Julio Jones is out for the year.
