The Official 2012 NFL Thread v. All aboard the Kaepernick bandwagon!

hahaha, yeah that statement took more false tone during the events after half-time... still, for the Browns losing 16-17 to the (annually) vaunted Eagles, who should be contending for a Super Bowl (lol), it's not looking as bad as it's been before in Cleveland. they've got the run game...

but what surprised me the most during Philly's edging of Cleveland, is that the Browns had attitude - dare I say it, sass-ttitude - during their season-opening home loss. defensively speaking, the last couple years the Browns would get pushed around in the box time and time again, which is bullshit on a team from the AFC North. however, say what you will about the Eagles and their "Super Bowls," the Philadelphia Eagles will be running an offense, at you, guided by the dangerous (in all ways) Mike Vick...

on the subject of the Eagles, I think that their franchise-longest tenured HC Andy Reid, is above average. gasp! well come on... we all know that Reid isn't as bad as the Philly media might say (no matter how hilarious their NFL Political Cartoons with the coach turn up!). Reid actually made Donovan McNabb - I liked McNabb in his hey-day, but I feel like many teams would have caused him to implode far earlier in his career... without Andy Reid there would be no commercials of Chunky Soup, gracing McNabb's mug, I bet!

also I think Andy Reid's son died during the off-season? OverDose, I'm guessing - because I've read around that his two sons are hard-core druggies. just imagine having that "Chunky Soup money" in such an open-aired... and laissez-faire market that is the City of Brotherly Love... actually, I think the other Reid son got straight and now owns a dealership or something

however, my condolences to Andy Reid. he gets enough shit flung at him already, and he usually rolls with the punches (or handfuls of flying shit, in this case). it's the most unnatural, horrendous act to bury your own child - I'm sure

run game? richardson had 19 carries for 40 yards. and weeden probably had the worst game by a rookie statistically of all time.

the eagles just played like shit also.
 
The Eagles D played real good actually. 7 points came from a pick 6 and the other points were all
from turnovers giving the Browns great field position iirc. Trent Richardson is a good back and their line was decent I thought (didnt they win 10 games last or two seasons ago?)

Vick seemed like a half a step slower though, I think its because of that flack jacket he wears now
 
guess we will find out when they play the Falcons

fuck your Cowboys they arent Americas Team theyre just the casual fans team, havent been relevant in over a decade
 
I have to admit....RGIII is the fucking man....he had an amazing game....granted it was the Saints Defense....but I think he'll set the standard for the true prototype dual threat QB....dude was ultra accurate with his passes....and thought pass first and mainly on ran to extend time in the pocket...WOW
 
Some player on GB's horrible secondary was talking shit today saying the 49ers didnt beat them, they beat themselves. Dunno what game he was watching but the 49er dominated the whole game. If it weren't for a botched call on a kick return it would have been 30-15.

Im already looking forward to the game against the Lions next week. I want to see Harbaugh and Shwartz duke it out after the game.
 
Just watched a condensed version of the 49ers/GB game. I have to say I am even more impressed with the 49er defense than I was before.

The front line is so beast its not even funny, and the 3-4 defense along with the quality of our linebackers allows us to play with 4 or 5 DBs. We have 5 very good dbs so when we go to our "prevent defense" we actually get pressure on the QB and cover everyone for the first few seconds. It doesnt leave much of an opening for the QB to make a play, and Rogers was doing a great job at trying to get the ball out, but against a lesser qb we will flat out dominate. I cant wait to see our defense manhandle the QB's in our division.

If you play fantasy, ill give you some good advice, sit your RB the week he is playing the 49ers.
 
damn theres like 4 nfl threads now

Ravens / Eagles is looking like the game of the week, maybe Det/SF

cant be any worse than last weeks game
 
^ What about Chicago/Green Bay? I think Cutler may be getting a bit too cocky calling out the GB corners, and although I think they have the talent to beat Green Bay, I don't think it will happen just yet in this weeks match-up.
 
yeah I guess im biased

probably going to get either Was/Stl or Dal/Sea for the 4 pm game, not sure which one id rather watch, prob the skins game

then the Lions and 49ers at night time and the MN game is good

good weekend hopefully, nothing is worse then when you get a shitty game followed by a shitty game
