The 2012 NFL thread

You must have forgot Lawrence Taylor

Well....records and awards are nice but let's be realistic that =/= better player, and if it was flipped you'd certainly be saying "yeah LT has more records but Lewis has 1 more SB"

It's not all sacks anyway, it's about the overall pressure you bring.
Hell, LT was one of the few players the game was changed around.

Let's not be silly fans about this, Ray Lewis is an all time great (ignore MoM.. he's also said Peyton was no good and no team has ever won anything, just get gifted it) anywho Ray still was a strong contributor and solid player.
He may have not been quite in his prime but cmon, what can ya expect?

Im stoked for tomorrow, should be an epic game. Scared for Sunday. G Men playing well but we know how they are and RGIII is freakishly scary.

That's fair, least you admit it!
And while he's a legend in Giants lore I never saw him play, far as I know LT was just a name from the past who loved crack and prostitutes but has trouble telling a 15 year old from an 18 year old.

I'd actually be more concerned losing your best corner. I know Suggs is coming back, he may be a pass rushing and run stopping force, but he can't go cover wideouts

Hoping tonight's game is as epic as it is on paper!

Well no surprises with the outcome, though the hawks did kind of screw themselves with all those dropped passes.

Defense should be quietly solid which can't necessarily be said for the G men, Eagles or Cowboys. And if RG3 DOES keep up that pace, well he'll be a legit dual threat QB like we've not seen that will scare the bejesus out of everyone.

Hey dude,

If you could not be a fanboy for a moment, I know thats a hard one, I didnt bash him in the slighest. Just pointing out there have been 50 "real deals" that have busted miserably in recent memory.

And here I thought Ravens-Texans would be a good game. It's like the Texans came back from looking human,and all the Ravens' injuries are catching up with them. That first half was pretty much all about the Texans' defense. I think Flacco either had a defender in his face or had the ball batted down every time he dropped back to pass. And the second half is a bit better, but....mostly more of the same.
