The 2012/2013 NFL Thread v. Brady dont need no money

How about NYG safety Stevie Brown! He has 7 interceptions this season, and 2 forced fumbles. He had 2 picks in the game vs the Saints, and is playing way beyond his expectations. He is in his third season (and his 1st with the Giants) so is still a young player learning the new defense, but considering he only played 8 games last season for IND accumulating only 5 tackles, and 25 tackles in hist first year with Oakland, nobody expected him to have the type of year he is having so far. He already has 2x as many tackles as he did in his second best season, and his two forced fumbles, 2 recovered fumbles, 7 interceptions, 8 passes defended, and 3 stuffs all came this season with the Giants (his stats).

I have no problem with running up the score, a lot of these backups are playing for another year or another contract, thats fine.

What I dont appreciate is when it fucks up my bets like yesterday.
The Giants were fine in the 4th Q and continued to pile it on for no reason, and screwed one of my bets , albeit that was buffered by me taking the over and the spread

Are you kidding me? The Giants didn't pile it on for no reason. They have a very good reason; Drew Brees. There is no comfortable lead against him, and they found that out in the 3rd quarter when there was a momentum change to the Saints who scored 14 points to make the score 35-27 so a TD and FG would have given them the lead. In the 4th quarter once the Giants extended their lead from the passing TD to Cruz they ran the ball, and the TD run by David Wilson was off of a pitch. They weren't going for big plays at that point, so were just trying to eat up the clock to keep the ball out of Brees' hands by running the ball and making short passes.

Care, what do you think about Brandon Jacobs being suspended for the rest of the season due to his social media posts about him 'rotting away' this season? It's not going to make a difference since he wasn't really playing anyway (what was he active for only 3 games or something?) and only had 5 carries for 7 yards all season. I wonder if any team will pick him up next season. I'm sure that he is regretting going to San Francisco this season, and even though he was offered more money by them, it's not going to pay since he's likely done after this season so won't be making any more money. If he was unhappy with his role last season with the Giants when he played 14 games and had 152 carries, it's no wonder he is reacting this way now that he will finish this season with only 5 carries in 3 games.

He never really left the Giants I guess. Even when the 49ers played the Giants this season I think I remember hearing how he was hanging out with the Giants players after the game, and saying how it was hard to root against them. Basically S'ing their D's...
 
i still can't believe that brandon fucking gibson manned up yesterday and caught the game winning td(6rec 100yds 1td)

he'll be lucky to make the team next year, he knows this and guessing was motivated by it

rams offensive played like tebow, horrible for 57 minutes, great for 3

can't wait for next week vs vikings, i think rams fuck them up and finally make a statement with a W - because if there's one thing they can do consistently is stop the run(big thanks to first year rams micheal brokers(better than suh!), kendall langford and jo-lonn dunbar)

i can't wait till it comes down to week 17 @ seattle just like 2 years ago, and more than likely the same result

edit:
and don't expect adrian peterson to break eric dickerson's single season rush yard record; cause just like he did to alex smith' jo_lonn dunbar is going to end his career

nobody can stop AD
 
After last night's beat down of the Texans, the annual Patsie circle jerk is in full HD mode now (by fans and the media)...but they may have to play them again @ Houston in the playoffs if their records hold up. Also a chance the Patsies may have to go to Denver in the playoffs if they lose to SF. You know Payton wants a chance to beat them again instead of letting Eli do it again. ;)

let your hate flow.

your team sucks this year. i get it. do you need a hug?

Im already picking Pats to beat niners since they're home.

Thats a safe bet, especially considering what happened last night. Huge statement win by the Patriots.

The 49ers will be underdogs, on the road in Foxborough against a red hot patriots team that is looking more and more complete when it counts..... December

Should be a fantastic game next week, I will say though that the 49ers defense is on another level compared to the texans, so I wouldnt count on brady putting up 40+ again, and kaepernicks read option is different animal compared to the Texans running game. Whoever wins that game will have the bragging rights as the #1 team heading into the next week, that is for sure.

I am very excited about it, Sunday night football baby!

Sorry alas, did you skip a stroke or do you have a nervous tic when you think of Eli and how much he 0wnz you?

My team does kind of suck right now. Oh well. I'll be over it long before I get to watch Brady pout in the playoffs.
 
^ weaksauce. that's why we have a season and not just one game.

what's worse - losing one early season game against arizona or losing to oakland, tennessee, cleveland and san diego, 4 of the weakest teams in football?

remind me which is a better record: 10-3 and already division champion or 7-6?

lol at some of the steeler's loses

they are not a threat to anybody, even at 100% health

alasdamn

Congrats on another division title but you should at least admit it is one of the consistently weakest in the NFL. As I stated last season, until something changes for the better, the Patsies have 6 wins before opening day every year. Better competition would probably have made for at least one more SB win (or maybe hope for an opponent that is not the NY Giants).

If your team makes it in to the post season, regular season records means squat because you are in the playoffs. Whether you are 16-0 or 7-9, all that matters is you made it. Of course, 7-9 is embarrassing in the playoffs but only if you are the team that loses to that 7-9 team in the playoffs.
 
I agree. As much as momentum is an advantage going into the play offs, when it comes down to it Dec, Jan football it is very rarely run and gun, particularly when played out doors. I am not foolish enough to put money on Pittsburgh winning the Super Bowl but their style of play and Big Ben's track record means that even the Patriots would want to avoid them and face a team like the Ravens or Denver.

the afc east is a weak division but what it is that sports fans like to say? "on any given sunday..."

the steelers lost games this season to some of the weakest teams in the nfl so i know you agree with me :)

and, fwiw, the ravens have traditionally been a solid division rival but cincinnatti and cleveland are hardly powerhouse dynasties...

let's hope we see a repeat of the 04-05 afc championship game :)

Keep believing that CR, If akers could make a damn field goal the better team would have won.

The rams are on the upswing but guess what.... Come January the Rams will be right where they belong. Sitting at home watching the 49ers in playoffs.

The redskins beat the Giants twice last year, and the Giants took home the crown. I wouldnt say its far fetched a similar scenario happens in San Francisco.

And the butthurtedness of steelers fans in here makes me giggle.

Every team int eh NFL has a black eye when they lost to an underdog this year. That all goes out the window in December and January folks.
