The 2012 NFL thread

Gotta admit, this wasn't a great year to be a Philly sports fan.

Although I guess one good thing to take away from the Eagles' season at this point is I think they could start focusing on the future more. Throw some of the young guys out on the field more and at least do something for evaluation purposes. You know Reid, Vick, and probably most of the defense will be gone, so might as well see if you made some good decisions with the new guys and give them some experience.

I'd also hope they make some serious adjustments to that O-line. I don't care if The Flash is playing QB for them at this point. They can hardly protect anyone from anything.

Damn. Beat me...I was gunna say man you can ALWAYS keep faith in Dallas for a win. Hell even if you should lose they will find a way to blow it.
I'll be fair, I don't think the team is this bad. Surely they've given up on the season by now, and its painful. Giants quit late '09 and its a sad sad thing to watch.

It was a valiant attempt. The Eagles went for broke and tried to create a super team, (they should know how that failed in Dallas but ah well). Babin is gone, Reid will be following, I have no idea about Vick, and who knows how far the houe cleaning will go.


Finally a good Thursday game! I guess I'm pulling for the Falcons in this one. They already have a playoff spot locked and probably a top 2 seed...might as well hope all the potential wild carders lose.

I really do feel bad for Alex Smith.
I know the in thing is to bash him but he was never bad. In fact going back to 2009 he's been solid and he led his team to just outside the SB last year. Seems like the team always wanted Kaepernick, and they seem to play so much better with him there. All Smith did was be a very efficient QB and led his team to success, he gets injured (not his fault of course) and boom he's on the way out....sad


Aw yeah! Thank god for the Saints poor defense. Michael Turner finally getting me a good fantasy game! I need it, everyone I start has been flopping

Of course, it also occurs when I needed a good fantasy outing...damnit Brees...

KC player murder suicide.

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.

Hey dude,

Big time congrats on beating the Packers, you guys clowned them!   Big game between my Skins & your Giants on
Monday nite.  I am shocked the Redskins won on Thanksgiving, but again the Cowboys are decimated by injuries.

Redskins match up well against you guys.  It should be a good game.

GREAT game against the Pack but I like to stay in reality, I can not trust that defense until they do it more consistently.
At least the offense is on track, and I believe the Skins still have a very poor pass defense (441 from Romo). Last game you played us we were in a slump, so we'll see. As MWH and I have been saying, it's the Giants....we can lose this game 44-3. Then come back and shutout the Saints.

And I feel less impressed with the Falcons every week. I'm saying it now, this schedule isn't as bad as it seems. SB run #3?

I almost hope the Rams & Niners game ends in this tie.

I love AP.

For me, he made up for Brees' horrible Thur. night performance.
