The 2012 NFL thread

If one is Rex Ryan he's lost a ton of weight actually.
Clearly that's the issue.
Without the fear that he will eat you the team has gone to total disarray.

Tampa Bay / Carolina game has been entertaining this second half.

Going into OT.

The Lions have taken the word "suck" to a whole new level. Between dropped passes, bad passes and bad play calling by the OC Scott Linehan, the Lions are well on their way to another losing season, particularly with Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Green Bay still on the schedule. It looks like 6-10 or 7-9 is all that can be expected from this garbage season.

I had the Bengals defense in fantasy, one because they are solid but mainly KC is suck.
Yeah let down by the Browns but really....sad Dallas had to go that far to win.

Lions are still young. I know it must be agonizing to have them knocking on the door of success but patience my friend!!
They still don't have much at all outside Stafford and Megatron. Weapons are there though, even a run game! Give it time...Matt is still a young QB. Can't let the few superstar young QBs fool you, most offense still need to gel.

Anywho Im off. Hoping Tom Brady and Demaryius Thomas have monster games.

2 prime time ones should be good. Pitt/Bal never matters the record or team...it WILL be a good game. Unless Byron's humorously long throwing motion dooms him.
Chicago/San Fran may be good or terrible depending how the backup QBs play. Campbell was good on the Skins and solid at Oakland.

Nah sorry, that is a fail of a troll face.
I always pick Drew Brees (unless he's taken...) so I know what he does. If I have to play him I pretty much start praying!
Last year I once had 3 players on bye (so 0 points from those 3) and lost a game by 1 point still, Brees had that huge a game!


My team has taken a hit anyway. Just like my beloved G men...I started off hot and unstoppable but am fading fast.
And I cant blame the byes...they keep under performing

Ah I'm confused then!
Unless it was to remind me you stole Brees. I try to block that out

Yeah because he spreads the ball so well you never know if a Saint player will be steady ya know? Can go quiet for a while then explode.


Speaking of explode....I said just earlier Byron Leftwich is mobile as a statue
And while slow we know what his arm is like and the Stillers do have some major speed. Oh dear, Ravens may have quite a battle tonight.

Well, there's no reason the Steelers should be losing at halftime.  Wallace has had no hands all year (and he wants a truckload of money) and the refs, who always call block in the back penalties whether they happen or not, miss a blatant one at the point of the hole on the punt return.  Also, I'm a Haley fan but WHAT THE f**k KIDN OF GAME IS HE CALLING RIGHT NOW!  GOING AGAINST PROBABLY THE WORST RUN DEFENSE IN FOOTBALL WITH YOUR SUB-PAR BACKUP QB AND ALL YOU DO IS PASS!  WTF

I thought my mind was perverted but you really take the cake!
I still have no idea how there was a penis joke in there. And hey man, it's not the size of the vessel but the motion of the ocean baby

Well MoM may get his wish of Charlie Batch playing...Leftwich seemed hurt ever since that run and got worse with every hit. By the end it was just painful watching him.

That was a pretty brutal game. No offensive TDs,  I think it was more ugly than good defense, but there was lots of tight coverage and huge hits. A good ol slugfest.
Besides the QB struggles/injuries the line gave up pressure at the worst times, Leftwich stood there dumbfounded and let that Raven flatten him, there was that botched snap, just all around the Stillers failed when it mattered most.
