falcons game was absolutely painful to watch.

that said, the football gods are on our side with the giants, lions, bears and cowgirls all losing.
 
nice to see the ghost of Suh getting all up in the rest of the lions, causing them to throw balls at players after the whistle, put their hands on officials, and rack up pass interference calls non-stop.

Jesus christ guys, did you make other plans for NFL playoffs?

If i was a Lions fan i'd lay all the blame on Jim Schwartz for their meltdowns but specifically their ill-discipline. He comes over, has a quiet word, a gentle tap on the helmet and then a pat on the back for players who consistantly act like a complete retards by chucking their toys out of the pram cos they cant handle the pressure. If i was an Owner i'd fine them 100k or more everytime they do it. Then i'd beat Schwartz with a stick.


Then you see guys like Calvin Johnson(class act) or Stafford who made some good plays and took some monster hits, having to play with complete idiots week in-week out. Nick Fairley looked impressive before he got hurt. Always thought he would be the instigator for causing trouble.
 
dude I bet not even a Lombardi could save Detroit. that city is eerily like a Third-World Country

NFC West beat the Eagles and Cowboys this week. Pretty good for the "worst division in the nfl"

seriously? the Eagles and Cowboys are measuring sticks now? they both suck. imo, after the Green Bay Packers, 49ers, and Saints, there is a pretty big drop off in talent in the NFC. I really don't think any other team is better than the other, and it truly doesn't matter. no NFC team save for the Top 3 will get past that Top 3. they are literally no killer all filler for Rodgers + Brees to throw all over
 
^ You don't even really need to beat the Cowboys, they beat themselves. What a horrible call by Jason Garrett, waiting to call the timeout last second when they actually made the f.g, and then missing it when they had to re-kick. And with two time-outs remaining in the final 30 seconds of the game... Wow.

Eagles and Cowboys were some trendy superbowl picks at the beginning of the season and are still decent teams. Not an easy win for anyone by any means. Also, the Giants are a good football team. They have had the most brutal schedule in the league over the past month and I like them to bounce back and make the playoffs.

I just hope Willis is back in 2 weeks to play your Steelers. Better get the lube ready for whatever poor soul you guys trod out there at running back.

And yea, I bet Garrett feels like a chump. Cowboys are on the top of my list of hated NFL teams, so that was pure ecstasy for me.
 
seattle and arizona were supposed to win those games

obviously?

nobody is saying nfc west is elite and focusing on the packers and saints is irrelevant in this conversation of division dick sizing

fact is it's much more stronger than it was 'supposed' to be according to all the know-it-all-know-nothing amateur talent evaluaters out there

just like last year seahawks had no business being in the playoffs, ohh what a disgrace it was

than they go out and curb stomp the saints
 
Care, As a Giants fan, I'm sure you can imagine how much I enjoyed the Cowboys loss too. Between that call and Romo's botched hold a few years back, you can't count on them to kick a game winning field goal.

I always like watching cowboy games and rooting against them, especially because they always seem to shit the bed at the last second.

Oh and BTW, Aldon Smith had 2 sacks and fumble recovery this week. He may be the best looking defensive rookie this year (obviously von miller is also in the discussion, however he sat with an injury this week). This kid is only 21 years old so he still has a couple years left to become 100% physically mature and he is already running people over in the NFL. I think I heard one of the announcers say he squats 700lbs....... wtf. Its been a long time since the 49ers have had an elite pass rusher but I think they found their man this year.

once again, the AFC North is the best division in the NFL

we are teaching you all how to properly play defense ;)

Mr. Sensationalism over here. Lol, a huge riot? No, i didnt even see a proper fight. I saw a lot of pushing after a dangerous facemask. I saw a frustrated quarterback about 40 points down, having a piss poor day, after throwing his 4th pick(he had to throw about 50 passes with a broken finger) try and make up for his error and stop another pick 6 so he took it out on the little CB. It was a silly tackle.

At least he showed some effort, most quarterbacks these days just stand still and walk off after picks. The guy had over 400 yards last night.
 
Number of 100 yard rushers on the year against the niners- 0
Number of rushing touchdowns against the niners this year- 0

NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE

I think the no TD thing actually goes back a full 16 games too, if you count last year.
 
they've got a great defense, specially rushing defense. but the Steelers have been that or damn close for the past decade. while this year they might not be that good, I will give you that. feels good don't it?

however, I still think Alex Smith is a joke and will most likely fold in the playoffs. he's lucky he has such a good defense + run game
 
Garret fucked up that game even before the completely batshit call he made in the declining seconds, and he fucked up the Cowboys offense in general, but I really can't ever expect much at all as long as they continue to have the completely reactionary and prisoner-of-every-moment Jerry Jones as the owner of the America's Reality Show Team.

That walk-off touchdown by the Cards was merely a formality at that point. The Cowboys proved they don't have the wherewithal to compete when it matters.

They never have a well thought out offensive plan put together. It's ridiculous. They either have Romo throw it 50 times or 15 times, and when they go that way it's always in reaction to last game's success or lack-thereof. And they never strike me as a strong running team even when they have good young rushing prospects because they never seem dedicated to shoving the rock down people's throats. It's like they consistently lack mental toughness even while they have pretty much all the talent they need on both sides of the ball minus a few OL and secondary pieces. Maybe they're just a bunch of dummies...idk...

That said the Cardinals aren't the terrible team that they were advertised to be....ughg

Alex Smith isnt usually the strong point of the team but if you watched the game yesterday you would know that he was on fire. The passes that were incomplete were all right in the hands of the receiver. Davis dropped a perfectly thrown 40+ yarder in the endzone.

Im as familiar as anyone about how much of a dismantlement Alex Smith has been. I cant even tell you how many times ive heard about how the 49ers took Alex Smith and passed on Aaron Rodgers. I was all for booting Smith and getting a different free agent QB at the beginning of the year. But he actually had a great preseason and has gotten better since.

He has 5 interceptions on the year and is making really good decisions. The ravens raped our O-line and that's why they won, not because Alex Smith was bad.

Heres his stats over the last 5 games, not that bad really.


-----passes yards/ TD / INT

NYG 19-30 /242 / 1 / 1
