2013 NFL Season

I'm skeptical of the Dolphins. But I'm more skeptical of Rob Ryan actually being competent. 

The Dolphins were my favorite AFC team back in my childhood days.  I can't say that I really pay all that much attention to them anymore but I am glad to see that they are 3 and 0, even though I know nothing about the team or anyone on it.    Mostly just residual feelings in that regard. 

In regards to the Lions being 3 and 1, the locals are already carving the team name on the Super Bowl trophy.  I am glad to see that they are 3 and 1, but will wait until the halfway point of the season before deciding whether to hop on the bandwagon or not.  The Lions visit Lambeau next week; a place where they haven't won since 1991.  The Packers are down so far this year, but if the Lions can actually pull off a win next week I think that will definitely be a sign of the upcoming apocalypse.

Yeah lets keep the fantasies on the nfl fantasy thread.

And because the Packers are only 1-2 and they're playing in Lambeau next week, I'm counting that as an automatic loss for us.  I just don't see them dropping to 1-3.  As the Lions demonstrated yesterday, they have a tough time holding on to a lead, no matter how big.  Don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic to beat the Bears yesterday because, frankly, I didn't expect it.  But the Packers are a much more disciplined team than the Lions and I don't think this game will end any differently than the previous twenty or so trips to Lambeau.  That's our wedge to winning the division:  the damned Packers.

Kudos to the Phins and Tannehill is playing surprisingly well but...it's the Saints. You can't stop Brees, he can only falter.    337 yds, 4 TDs before the 4th even begins. Machine

The Bronco - Eagle game went about like I expected...though 52 points was a big surprise.  I had serious doubts our defense could stop Vick effectively...and he absolutely shredded us in the 1st half.  Really felt the absence of Von Miller's speed in the rush as Vick made us look really bad.  I was kinda shocked Vick still ran so well and he did a fine job passing too...he seems to have a lot left in the tank.  I had a feeling though that the Eagles D would fall apart in the 2nd half.  I've been a Bronco fan since '84 and I've seen it dozens of times...big nasty defenses sucking on those oxygen machines just can't play all 4 quarters.  Next up, Cowboys in Dallas.

Yeah, Seattle is the only team that can truly cover, and not just one defender like a team usually gets, they have a bunch! Truly impressive, it will be a great game that one.

You are probably right.....either way I win I guess, but prefer the Saints to win...oh well its just a game.

More Giants o-line news...Snee placed on IR for needing a hip surgery that may be career ending, and Baas might need season ending neck surgery.

I'm leaning towards yes with them picking up that Reynolds guy.

Damn, this Denver/Dallas game has no defense.


Pats lose, without scoring a TD, Seattle loses their first, KC is 5-0. Pretty exciting week already and I'm stoked for Niners/Texans
