2013 NFL Discussion Thread

He got a 1 yard rush for a TD yesterday so he ain't doing all bad lol

 

Damn, I need a place to watch some games but I won't be able to watch livestreams, they'd have to be uploaded so I could watch whenever or so I could download and then watch from my HDD :/

lol

 

Who dat going to Super Bowl this season? So amped, I'm in Australia and NFL isn't popular but sisters fiancé (faggot giants supporter) got me hooked

 

Crazy how the Niners go from looking godlike in week 1 to absolute dog shit in week 2.

The difference a week makes in football.

Eagles & Cowboys looked great, then lost to pretty unexpected games. The Chiefs were small favorites cuz of home field but I was shocked Dallas lost to them.

 

One of the best weeks of football we will probably see this season. So many games were decided by 4 points or less.

 

How bout them Seahawks?

 

The team that was really good last year was obviously Baltimor Ravens, this year they arent going to do well imo. Got rid of to many of their good players. Im a Bears fan, Their doing pretty good so far, hopefully they dont do what they have done the past couple of years. which is do pretty good and then get off their winning steak and loose.

 

As a steelers fan I am ready to throw the towel in on this season already

 

Hmm will Larry Fitzgerald be good this year? He hasn't had a decent qb for a while, but he has a fairly decent qb now. I have him on my fantasy team, wondering if he'll do work.

 

Browns got a first round pick from the Colts in exchange for Trent Richardson. People claim that the talk about whether Trent would be good on another time will get settled but the Colts OL is pretty chit as well lol. Trent didn't even average over 4 yards/carry last year, not sure it is worth it. Browns going full rebuild mode with 2 first round picks and also 2 in 4th and either 2/3 (not sure which). Just a battle against the JAGs for 1st pick.

Patriots are 3-0 bitches, now we get put to the real test. A tough 3 game stretch coming up.

 

I can't wait to see how the Patriots do against a real team. Hopefully we put higher numbers on the board than the past 3 games.

 

Despite Brady building rapport with his receivers I doubt we will return to the high scoring, high octane offense just yet. Brady's completion percentage is 31st in the league currently. While nothing truly alarming since he had to put up with his bare bones receivers, it does hint at him starting to decline.

What I am really happy about though is our defense. We have only given up 34 points in the first 3 games, the last time we did this was in the 1970s I think. While not necessarily being against "great" teams, it is no mean feat.

If you look at all of our big losses like in the superbowls, we always lose due to the defense giving up and letting the opposing team drive down on them in the dying minutes.

 

Seahawks superbowl champs 2014? Anyone else say yes?

 

lol nope

thread has been unarchived, bump

 

Hopefully the Vikes will finally get a win this week.

 

How bout them Seahawks? Can you say comeback?

 

Patriots... Don't quit now, you've had a good start.

#Pats for life

except that one time they had a perfect season and lost the Superbowl. I think I cried there.


But another ring for Tom Brady wouldn't be too bad.

 

Pretty happy with the Lions at 3-1

 

AFC West: Broncos Chiefs Chargers Raiders

The AFC West is a lock.

AFC North: Ravens Steelers Bengals Browns

This is a toss up, I don't trust either team's quarterback, but they both have a solid defensive corp to bail them out. AFC North will be decided in the last week or two of the season.

AFC South: Texans Colts Titans Jaguars

Texans. We'll see though, I can't count out Luck or the Colts.

AFC East: Patriots Dolphins Bills Jets

Patriots, hands down. Not only are they rocking a 4-0 record, but there receiving corp is going to be getting so much better throughout the season.. Come time for playoffs, I think they can make a solid run.

NFC West: Seahawks 49ers Cardinals Rams

This was considered the best division at the beginning of the year.. Rams haven't been up to snuff, and the 49ers (although they lost to elite teams, the 49ers should have been finishing with 2 losses on the season.. it's not looking that way now though)
NFC North: Packers Vikings Bears Lions

As right now the Lions are looking great, but the Packers can never be counted out. Idk, we'll see.
NFC South: Falcons Saints Buccaneers Panthers

Saints, the Falcons have been under performing.

NFC East: Redskins Giants Cowboys Eagles

Cowboys are going home with a lost to the broncos this week, and the Eagles are going to crush the NYG this week (AKA they'll be tied for first..).. So biased or not, I'm going with Shady and Vick on this one.

 

Yeah I agree. We had quite a few speed bumps the first few games - in fact for the first two games Brady's QB rating was in the 60s. The last two games however, Brady's QB rating was back in the 100s as he is getting on the same page with his receivers. Kenbrell Thompkins seems to be such a good find however, an UDFA out of nowhere is now our best outside receiver. Without him we would have been a worry.

Always said Edelman was good to have but a lot of people always said he was bad. One of the most underrated NFL players imo
