The 2012 NFL thread

I will be very thankful, if both the Cowboys and Pats lose!


IDK Dennis Moore, the brutal second half last year was supposed to the be the Giants downfall...
Anywho, some great teams ahead but the Packers just aren't quite the same. The Redskins still have no one outside of RG3, the Saints and Falcons are the most worrisome, the Ravens just keep giving you a "meh" feeling and the Eagles are toast.
I'm not scared by the paper!
I think it's not unrealistic to say the Giants can win 4 of the next 6.

I do think Eli and co. will got the offense back on track, the complete lack of defense is my concern. But they have gone from sh*t to 85 Bears before. Gotta pray it happens again
Edit: I forgot! Kenny Phillips is coming back, if he can play at his normal level it will be a big help. Solid safety, and we need all the help possible.

LOL freudian slip.....I guess I was pulling for the Lions that badly

I not only enjoy the Cowboys losing, but its now the Giants great advantage if they do. Sooooo cmon skins do something good!
Edit: Aw yeah Garcon! I love that guy, mainly that crazy hooked C he has. And ya know a decent receiver.

Well...this has been unexpected

I expect some crazy things to go down in these Jets/Pats games but this has been something else. 3 fumbles in a row, and 2 for TDs. Ugly with a capital U.

Thanks for fixing that,I was in a tryptophan daze when I posted.

How often do you see the QB run into a huge butt of his own lineman nearly concussing himself and fumbling in which the other team scores?

That was one of the funniest things I have seen in a while when Sanchez did that.   

Every home team lost today.  And as much as I can't stand Romo and the 'Boys, that's just depressing.

Yeah they were talking about how Wilfork "picked up the guy and threw him back into the QB" all game long. Even well after it, and how he was such a force (basically from that one play) yet as you said....all Wilfork did was hold his ground and Sanchez ran into him. Le sigh...announcers!


It's very very rare I ever lay blame for an outcome on the refs, since so much other stuff happens, and the Lions had other opportunities to win, but the refs did screw em on a few bad calls. And the rule is the rule but the illegal flag thing really is dumb.
And my boy Suh had a monster game, complete with yet another controversy...at least he's learning to make it more subtle now!

Jesus. The refs just completely blew that call (or rather, blew that early whistle) on that Bengals fumble. While they got a huge break there, the refs just cost the Raiders a touchdown and a chance to get back in this game. Absolutely terrible call.

And of course, on the next play, they start getting cheeky with each other. Talk about venting your frustration.

Tomlin can't continue to coach this team if the Steelers are going to have a real future.  He can't get one of the oldest teams in the league to show any discipline or fundamentals.  They have absolutely never shown up to play against these bad teams during his tenure.  Wallace hasn't bothered trying for several games now, the running backs don't bother protecting the ball, and while the defense kept them alive today they can't create turnovers (outside Timmons).  Also, Baltimore lucks their way to another victory while playing like the sh*tty team they are.  I've never seen one team be so lucky for so long.  All San Diego has to do is not give up 29 yards on a 4th down when the Birdies below average QB makes the only play in his career he's shown he knows how to: a 7 yard dump pass to his RB.  How that team keeps stumbling to these kind of wins is beyond me and makes football increasingly more sickening to watch.
