2012 NFL

[rockman]

Lets go G men...

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I absolutely cannot stand DALLAS!  >:(

[Al_Smith]

Texas ?

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

No, Cowboys.  ;D

[thechknhwk]

Detroit Lions!

[Peter Drouin]

the patriots all the way :D :D :D :D :D :D ;D

[Riggs]

 

[JohnW]

Sure, I don't have anything against the GMen.  They always start slow don't they?  Didn't Dallas beat them in their first game last year, too?  Dallas always looks like they can play, then they screw up the end of their season.  Then New York doesn't play good til everybody thinks they're dead.

[Kansas]

I will follow my routine this year same as past years. I will go over Sunday morning and fire up the heat treatment chamber, and come back home. Then I will watch the Chiefs. I will head over at halftime to see how the batch of skids or whatever is going. If at half time its totally pathetic, which is normal for the Chiefs, I will head to someones house, or go to the office.

[Warbird]

All I care about is that I have Ahmad Bradshaw and Miles Austin on my fantasy football team.  They combined to get me 32 points. 

ps.  But having been born in Dallas, I simply have to yell, "GO COWBOYS!"

[redbeard]

How many FF members play fantasy football? Romo and Bradshaw made me some money this week so far. I root for Seahawks but its too early too start bragging just yet. Iam looking forward too the Seahawks vs Panthers game!

[Kansas]

I don't play fantasy football. If you root for the Chiefs, and believe they will actually win, that is fantasy enough for me.

[Warbird]

Kansas!

redbeard, in the fantasy league I play in, we pay to play and there is a 1st and 2nd prize at the end of the season.

[Raider Bill]

Just Win Baby!

RAIDER NATION!

[rockman]

Boy, The giants are frustrating. Seems they can't/won't win unless it's "do or die", Oh well, lots of football left to be played.

Kevin

[Riggs]

Kevin the Giants don't start playing till November, about the time the Cowboys start choking. Maybe my Skins can give them a run this year.

[thechknhwk]

Maybe my Skins can give them a run this year.

Nope ;D

[Riggs]

Maybe my Skins can give them a run this year.

Nope ;D

C'mon man!!! :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I tell ya......there's a lot of skins fans in the Carolinas. 

[rockman]

Kevin the Giants don't start playing till November, about the time the Cowboys start choking. Maybe my Skins can give them a run this year.

You gave me an Idea, Maybe I should have a calender made with 12 Novembers to send them. 
As far as the Skins go, it seems the Giants have trouble beating anyone in thier division.

Kevin

[drobertson]

 Well, for all who don't know, it is Panther NATION! 

[sawguy21]

I watch the Seahawks (I know I know but gotta keep the faith) and the Manning boys. And cheer for whoever is playing the Packers.  smiley_horserider

[Raider Bill]

 

  

 

[Warbird]

Nice bike, Bill.  I went to a Raiders home game with my 2 brothers and our dad last year.  Some of those folks go quite a bit overboard when backing their team.    Happily, the Raiders won that game.

[Woodey]

How about them COWBOY'S !

They pulled out a win for Game 1.

[sparky1]

as a Badger fan (not a fan of their current coach) Im pulling for seattle, you guys got our quarterback. He was fun to watch last year. Hope he has a good career in the pros. I pull for the packers, but the D is sub par to say the least... Just glad fall is here to see football in general!!!

[Raider Bill]

Thanks! She's my Baby. Last Saturday was her Maiden voyage after a 3 year complete overhaul. Many years ago I rode her from Florida to San Diego for a Raider game which actually there seemed to be more Raider Fans there than Chargers.

I'm glad footballs back! 8)

[Raider Bill]

Well....

I'm surprised the Bucs won,

Green Bay / 49er"s game was good.

Peyton did well considering although I don't like Denver.

[Mike@Norwood]

As a Bills fan, I think I'm suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and concussion-like symptoms. And to think after being irrelevant for way too long I thought this season was shaping up to be a good one.

Ok, I'm going back to the basement now.

[Riggs]

 


;D

Your just lucky they didn't Tebow you. ;D

My games tonight maybe I should shutup before I jinx myself.. :

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I don't have a comment this week about the "Carolina Whatca Call its"  :-[ :-[ :-[

I liked watching Peyton and Denver. They have John Fox, ex coach from the Panthers. John's a good guy. Denver will probably do good this year.

[Raider Bill]

Denver will probably do good this year.

Hope not!

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Denver will probably do good this year.

Hope not!

I know what you mean but you have to admit, both of them Manning Brothers have a 4th quarter horseshoes under their helmets!  :D

[Raider Bill]

Roger that, it's the breeding..

[Magicman]

Those Mannings are Mississippi boys.  Whoever and wherever they are.....I'm rooting for them.

[Warbird]

Is anyone distraught over the refereeing situation?  I had no idea they were on strike until I questioned all the horrible calls on Sunday!

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Thank goodness for instant replay!  ;D

[Raider Bill]

I didn't have any problem really with them. Couple blown calls but not a bad job considering. Heck they even have a Female for the first time.  ;D That's a tough job. A bazillion people watching you and cameras everywhere.

[JohnW]

The stand ins seem to do bad in their own way.  Over all, I'd say they're about as good as the regular referees.  With some of the regular referees, it makes me wish somebody'd shove that whistle down their throat.  Then maybe they'd stop blowing it for a little bit.

[terry f]

   Nice bike Raider Bill, sorry about your game. At least you have something to look forward to this season, as a life long Steeler fan, I'm not seeing much. We have the worst coach in NFL history, with a lifetime appointment.

[redbeard]

NFC west is looking pretty tough. Seahawks pulled off a good win against the boys. 8)

[JohnW]

How'd they manage to do that?  By not rushing.  Seems like if you give Romo enough timer, then he's likely to screw up.  But if you try to put pressure on him, he'll dance away and make a quick throw right on the money.  I'll have to watch the highlights.

I see the Colts managed to win with a 54 yard field goal after they screwed up and let the Vicking back in to the game.

[Warbird]

Yeah, 2 surprises.  I didn't expect either of them to win this week.

[Kansas]

The Chiefs spent all day running up and down the field. Unfortunately, it was chasing Buffalo's receivers. And then running down the field and covering their own punts. Or trying to.

[Warbird]

It was a pretty brutal game for the Chiefs today.  Interesting ending to the Bucs and Giants game, too.  Personally, I didn't think what the Bucs did was all that bad.

[Riggs]

My Skins lost, but who expected the Saints to be 0-2, or the Cardinals to be 2-0  ???

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

but who expected the Saints to be 0-2 ???

I did !  :D

[Riggs]

David, I'm getting a kick out of your running commentary under your avitar

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

David, I'm getting a kick out of your running commentary under your avitar

I try to cover it all, from Mills to Thrills!  :D

I'm pulling for Denver tonight. Manny should do the job with John Fox coaching. He's always had a horse shoe.....well.......Atlanta needs to lose. That'll put a 3 way tie in our division.

That was a big surprise to me.  I hope we don't see any more of that from Denver.

[redbeard]

I was thinking about going to Monday night football Hawks at home vs Packers. Never been to Monday night game, so I called my buddys that have Season tkts and they have them on ebay hoping to pay for the season tkts. Yikes 500.00 for descent seats. Found some nose bleed seats that are normally 30 or 40 a seat are going for 280.00 you would think it is the super bowl. Iam gonna stay home and watch it on TV. I will really regret not going if Hawks beat the packers.

[beenthere]

The only way some fans can see their Packers play is to go to another stadium where tickets are at least available.
They draw a crowd.


The Monday night game should be a good game.... depending on who shows up.

[Wick]

Been a Cowboy's fan since youth. Now I pull for the Panthers too since they are local.

[Warbird]

That was a big surprise to me.  I hope we don't see any more of that from Denver.

I hope we start seeing some good officiating.  The refereeing in that game was a travesty!

[JohnW]

Agreed.  I wasn't watching really close, but I couldn't help seeing the bad pass interference calls that John Gruden pointed out.  And then they let this whole big fight break out.  I imagine the commissioner will be reviewing that film to see if there aint somebody he can fine or suspend.

[Raider Bill]

How about them RAIDERS!

[terry f]

    Congrats, Steelers have the worst coach in NFL history, and we will never get rid of him.

[Warbird]

How about them RAIDERS!

No kidding!  That was a good game.  What's the latest status on Darrius Heyward-Bey?  I couldn't believe the refs didn't call a penalty on that blatant hit.  Scary stuff.  These refs are going to get someone killed or seriously maimed if they don't step it up soon.

[Raider Bill]

He got released today from the hospital. I bet his ears are still ringing.

[Kansas]

That was quite a game Sunday for the Chiefs. I really don't think they were that good; it just was that the Saints were worse. How in the world do you kick 6 field goals, and the only touchdown was one 90 yard run by Jamal Charles. Nothing wrong with field goals, but you get down inside the 20, once in awhile you ought to actually score a touchdown.

On the plus side, was seeing Charles back. His production Sunday has only been matched by one other player; James Brown. That is some heady company.

[redbeard]

What a officiating fiasco in Seattle. Packers got robbed. Too many mistakes. Seahawks did beat them in sacks I think they had 10. At least this should get the pro officials back hopefully by next game.

[Left Coast Chris]

49ers !!! 8) 8) 8)

They did't show up aganist the Vikes but maybe the loss will get them back to dishing it out again.....

[Warbird]

Romo's nickname should sometimes be "Ohno!"

[clww]

Right! :D I enjoyed seeing those Bears maul the Cowboys last night. 8)

[Mike@Norwood]

Thanks to my team, I've been forced to steer clear of this thread. One day the Bills will stop playing Jekyll and Hyde looking good during stretches of a game then having reality set faster than the speed of light.

Why I why do I bother? Either I'm a gluten for punishment or optimism is my downfall. lol

Nevertheless Go Bills  smiley_hanged

Same for me just change the team name.....

[Warbird]

I'm sure Kansas feels the same way about the Chiefs? 

[ashes]

Looking pretty good this year for sure.

[Kansas]

In what had to be the biggest display of tastelessness, when Matt Cassel, qb of the Chiefs got crunched between two linemen and crumpled to the ground, the Chiefs fans cheered. They had been clamoring for Brady Quinn to replace him. I like Chiefs football, but really. Football isn't that important when a player is laying there with a concussion.

[JohnG28]

I missed games yesterday but was watching this this morning. One of the OTs for KC was on this morning ranting about the fans, I think he hit it dead on. Ridiculous to cheer for someone's injury. On a different note, I hear a lot of NFC east talk but no Philly, so gotta say go Eagles!

[Mooseherder]

There was thuggery on the field for the Cincinatti/Dolphin game well after a few plays were over with.  It was a little sad to see no reaction or calls from the officiating.

[Raider Bill]

Thuggery! :D :D :D :D

[scgargoyle]

We've found the key to preventing Buccaneer losses- a bye week! :D :D :D

Anyone watch the game last night? Sure seemed like the officials wanted New Orleans to win at the end....

[Warbird]

I have Ryan Matthews (running back for the Chargers) on my Fantasy Football team.  He had a broken collarbone preseason but has been back in for the last couple of games, so I've played him.

My opponent this week has Jackie Battle (another running back for the Chargers).  Battle is the guy who filled in for Matthews and was even listed as the starter for the game yesterday.

Matthews ended up with 139 yards and a TD.  Battle ended up with only 17 yards on 6 carries.  My opponent was complaining and whining about it.  Here was some of our online banter:

Opponent:  this STINKS!!!
Me:  No it doesn't! I was wondering how this epic battle between the 2 RB's would go. Personally, I'm very pleased.
Opponent:  Epic indeed, It will be discussed for ages. I didnt see Battle once.. Apparently he started? My team stinks.
Me:  I guess you could say he... *puts on sunglasses* ...lost the battle. YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

He hasn't talked to me since.

   Jacksonville Jaquars... :'(   nuff said!

[redbeard]

Hope the Seahawks put on a show for you all tonite.

[beenthere]

Gonna watch Wilson do his thing  8)

[red oaks lumber]

nothing good comes from washington! but i'm kinda pullin for the skins.

[Kansas]

The Chiefs started a youth movement several years ago. Their record plummeted to 2-14 this year. By the time they get done with the youth movement, they will be retiring. Guess they did fire the GM and the coach. Think it was the GM that upon arrival, insulted one of their true stars, guard Brian Waters, who had come in and asked if there was anything he could do. He was promptly told that they could get 11 guys off the streets and do better than their previous year record, I believe 4-12.

They should have gotten some guys off the streets.

[beenthere]

red oaks
Pull a little harder, as they a needin your help.

So far, a pretty good game. But RG-3 is hurting.

[JohnW]

Griffin is hurt now, which is not good since he gave up the ball on the 5.  Cousins might be able to do something for them.  The defense needs a kick in the backside.  They keep giving up these big plays.

[redbeard]

Russell Wilson came through good job Hawks

[sawguy21]

Redskins folded after the first quarter. Hawks defense looked suspect at first but then Wilson got his rhythm and everybody clicked. Falcons best be ready, they are in for a fight. Go Hawks GO.
As far as the Colts and Ravens, that was not playoff quality football. If Ravens don't pick it up they are gonna be road kill.

[terry f]

    Wilson is every bit as good as a healthy RG3, good luck Seattle, and go Denver, since the Steelers folded.

[red oaks lumber]

i knew it! cant get any kinda win out of washington.

[Left Coast Chris]

49ers Offence showed up...... and akers makes the kick.   Impressive yardage.   Go 9ers.   

[Warbird]

I honestly feel like the Denver game was thrown on purpose.  2 blatantly bad calls against the Broncos and they had 1 defensive play where their player appeared to intentionally tank the play.  Resulted in a Raven TD.  I mean, it was blatant.

The 49'ers looked amazingly good against the Packers.  Should be an interesting Championship game.

[red oaks lumber]

the packers looked extremely terrible against the niners! having said that i do believe the niners are a good team. can they compete? time will tell

[Riggs]

Some REALLY good games over the weekend.

[Jeff]

I'm not a San Francisco fan, and Greenbay is always my second after Detroit annually biffs it, but the SF quarterback was fun to watch.  I was sort of rooting for the Broncos, because I wanted to see Manning come back and do well, (I know, there are a lot of Manning Haters out there). 

Now I guess I'll root for the Ravens, as that would be doctorb's team. 

[petefrom bearswamp]

I put part of the debacle in Denver on John Fox.
Before the half with about  a half minute left and manning at QB and let the clock run out?
At least try a hail mary
Same at the end of Reg.
I dont have a dog in the fight as the G men collapsed after drubbing both the 49ers and packers.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I put 95% of the blame on John Fox for the Broncos losing. John was the Panther's coach and he made some POOR coaching decisions then and it looks like he hasn't changed.

[beenthere]

The Seattle coach made a bad call when he threw in the "time out" just as the kicker was making his 'missed' field goal. On his second try, he kicked the ball for three points through the goal posts.
Game of gambles. Someone wins and someone has to lose. 

[MAI]

Great games all weekend.  Some bad calls, bad decisions, that's part of the game.  I think the Niners and Pats will be in the SB.  Unless the Niners can get to Brady, the Pats will probably win.   

[petefrom bearswamp]

Would love to see the brothers Harbaugh oppose each other in the SB as well as Ray Lewis go out in a blaze of glory.
