2013-14 NFL thread

Leave early?

I'm actually off all weekend. Got my college and NFL games all mapped out. Get to watch Denver crush Dallas. Though, I can see Dallas' defense kind of sort of stopping Peyton. At least to where it won't be a massacre.

Sweet. Honestly Dallas might be Denvers first actual challenge. I still think Denver will win, but Dallas will put up a fight.

Oh yeah, the odd stat. Tony Romo has a higher completion percentage than Manning right now. Doesn't mean much, but it is interesting.

I thought you meant Eli, in which I would say a tree branch has a higher completion percentage than him.

I thought you meant Eli

hopefully he did, which is the only way that "odd stat" is true, but then its just a boring stat
Peyton is #1 in the league in comp%, Romo is 3rd, Eli is 29th

based on what Rivers just did to the Dallas secondary I really don't see them doing much this week

[Pendulous]

I swear I saw that stat listed as such on ESPN.

No way. Manning's completion is nearly 80% atm, I highly doubt he'll continue this near-perfection playing, but no one else in the league right now can even be compared to Manning's performance, not Rodgers, nor Brady nor Brees, they all look terrible (yes I know they aren't!) compared to him and his Madden videogame-like 140ish QBR. I don't expect his near-perfection to keep up all season, he'll definitely throw a few picks and stuff, but I'll be surprised if this doesn't go down as his best season to date.

As for Romo, he's really not a bad quarterback at all, yes he has a knack for doing stupid shit at the worst possible time, but I don't understand why people always use Romo as the go-to example of a QB comparison when they are shocked that Romo can do something better than someone else. He just happens to be the QB for 'America's team' so pretty much every time he fucks up he gets shit for it...meanwhile Flacco throws 5 interceptions in one game pretty much single-handedly giving the Bills the game the Ravens would have otherwise won and I don't see him getting nearly as much shit as if Tony Romo farts before a snap.

Tavaris Jackson is actually the highest rated QB + QBR atm... His 7-8 with a TD stats vs Jaguars clearly means he is the best!

Funny because I think he was the "best" QB in preseason as well, lol.

Almost all the undefeateds are in some danger of losing this week, yes even the Broncos. Should be good.

Rivers is actually pretty good this season I think he is 3rd or fourth in fantasy points I know its not real time stats but who would have thought that. His numbers in the Red Zone is what's really amazing 18-25 8 TDs and 0 ints.

Haha, sorry that's not going to happen. Their offense is good, but Denver's defense is better than the other teams they've faced (save maybe the Chiefs), and Denver's offense is likely to steamroll over them in the second half. Denver's test is going to be at New England.

Another week, no Gronk.

[xskarma]

Another week, no Gronk.

Yeah, at this rate they should have just kept him on the PUP. If he plays next week though then it was still worth it.

Yes they can.

[draynay]

its the annual pointless journalistic fodder

[Badpaladin]

Yes they can.

You must not understand simulations all that well

I'm sad I gave this article a view.

If Jacksonville can hang points on NFL teams, they can blow out any college team.

Amendola active, Megatron is inactive.

Unger, Giacomini, AND Zach Miller out for Seattle. I'm not feelin this one.

[xskarma]

No idea what to make of Patriots - Bengals. I was really worried about this 3 team stretch of ATL, CIN, NO, but we've won 1 allready, so maybe we can take this faltering Bengals team as well

[draynay]

So Cutler has fumbled to start their first two possessions

[Deleted]

Really good blocked field goal returned for a TD by the Colts.

[draynay]

sigh, Bears lasso Meachem in the endzone and get away with it

ok and it doesn't end up mattering because Pierre is awesome

Yeah, that made me mad. Oh well, the saints are winning I can't complain.

Omg...gov healthcare commercial, I did not expect that on fox and while watching football..
