The 2012 NFL thread

Oh shoot. I didn't realize he was on your team. 

Yeah he's awesome when he's making the Steelers look old and terrible. 

One of the best Rbs in the league and a very good defense?

There can't be a team as reliable in their performance as the Miami Dolphins...

Anton crazy??? Nahhhh


I dont think we love/hate anyone here based on their teams.
Well OK Jody and Anton do, but Pat and I seem a bit more civilized, even though he's a Philly street thug

All that can be said about the NFC east is: The skins will need two seasons. RG3 needs to develop and they need a team around him, even if he turns out to be a stud the Skins dont have much talent overall.
Cowboys will choke when it counts, as always.

Eagles and Giants will be the contenders. It depends on Vicks health and if the team can keep it's massive stardom from going supernova.
Giants all depend on that defense and O line (the worst in the whole NFL last year!)

No it's not. There's no coin in the world that can fix the Cowboy's OLine.

You're crazy about the record of the Chiefs Anton. 

Cruz had the dropsies last year. Had a bunch of multi drop games, seems to have a habit of running before its caught (and just being a butterfingers). It did improve over 2011, but even still he had some WTF MAN drops.

The Giants secondary is a travesty. They have some injuries that really hurt, but honestly in terms of coverage our corners aren't that good, and Antrel Rolle couldn't even cover me.

It's sad they still could've easily won. The Cowboys were a complete mess, but deff credit to Romo, played a great game. And I thought in all honesty he had a pretty damn strong 2011, maybe his best season.

We have the same problem David, that O line is a joke. Our backs used to always average near, or above, 5 yards a carry and run like monsters...now Bradshaw can barely make 2 yards and Jacobs, hell he could barely get past the handoff and the pass protection is sh*t

Well IIRC, I think the G-men had 3 injuries on their d-line. Hence why their pass rush wasn't nearly as effective as it usually is.

The Bengals will have the same issue next Monday night against the Ravens, just on the other side of the ball. We have 2 guards and a center starting that game who have never started an NFL game before (our LG is out for the season. Tore something related to his knee I believe so that's a big loss in and of itself). I'm also worried about how much the Ravens are going to "test" Dalton's throwing shoulder since it's supposedly pretty bruised, but I think he'll pull through it.

I just wish we didn't have to play at Baltimore on Week 1 really.

Eh, week 1 (even week 2 for the G Men) I am willing to discard...so I wont jump the gun yet, but my fears are already bubbling up

The complete lack of coverage and pitiful o line were in full force!
What can ya say? Pretty ugly but the teams need to get up to speed. At least Eli was pretty much perfect. Only a couple of bad throws, though one cost a TD, and did pretty good with no run game!
