I'm a 49ers fan. Switching to Kaepernick was the right move. Doesn't mean I root against Alex Smith or blame him for the teams near decade long struggles. We were really bad at a lot of positions for a really long time. He earned my respect when he organized and led team activities during...

How many negs do I get if I bitch about the bullshit roughing the passer call against Ahmad Brooks in week 11 vs. the Saints costing the 49ers the division and number 1 seed in the playoffs?

Didn't have to get past the QB position to realize the selection was a joke yet again this year. If they're doing 3 from each conference, Ben and Dalton are both more deserving than Brady in the AFC, and Foles and Romo are both more deserving than Newton in the NFC. But its just the...

No mention of Luke Kuechly?This guy thinks he should be NFL MVP.I have no idea if he is deserving to be in DPOY talk, the only Panthers game I've watched this year in completion is the 49ers game. I find it interesting that this ESPN guy brings his name up for MVP (obviously just to make an...

Well if the Cardinals win the 49ers are still alive for the number 1 overall seed in the NFC.......and still alive to miss the playoffs completely.

2013 NFL Playoff Machine - Simulate Matchups and Scenarios - ESPN Five 8-8 teams tie (Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers, Jets, Ravens) and the Steelers make the playoffs would probably fuel the argument for more playoff teams. Its even more unlikely than that. Even if Cards beat Seattle and...

Can't imagine they're playing Cousins for any reason other than to try to showcase him for an off-season trade. Was just looking at Bucs-49ers matchup this Sunday. Combined the 2 teams average 359.1 passing yards per game. Peyton Manning is averaging 341.2 passing yards per game.

Good, this spares us from watching a 49-7 BCS title game. FSU-Auburn should be decent at worst.

John Gruden's problem is he is trying way too hard to be the next John Madden, Super Bowl winning coach turned legendary color commentator. I can just tell that most of the shit he does that annoys everyone is because he is trying too hard. Also I have no idea why they'd fire Kubiak now just...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of the primary masterminds behind the QBR statistic is Trent Dilfer. That is about all you need to know about it.

Based on the editing on the show so far I can't see anyone other than Tyson winning, unless Tyson's arch is that he falls just short of victory getting voted out at final 4 (his new idol pretty much assures him top 4) and I don't think we'll have a bitter jury this year preventing Tyson from...

Yep. The Cowboys and Eagles play eachother once so one will finish with at least 8 wins, Redskins can't finish better than 7-9. Worst the worst wildcard team can finish is 8-8 (San Francisco).

The only thing worse than people thinking Kaepernick was a shoe in hall of famer after 10 games last season are the people who think he is among the worst starting QBs in the NFL after 12 games this season.

Considering Tomlin is on the NFL rules making committee he better damn well be made an example of.

Bills receivers...wow. Must suck to be a Buffalo fan.

Surprising to learn that Priest Holmes only had three 1000-yard rushing seasons. That guy was a TD monster and the first fantasy stud that I remember.

Across all the games I've been switching between and having come up on Red Zone, I don't think I've ever seen so many dropped balls on one Sunday that hit players in their hands, receivers and defenders.

Peyton should try for 7 TDs again.

Well this sucks since it most likely means we get to watch a boring Nat'l Championship for the second year in a row as Ohio State gets blown out by 30+ points.

You hear so much about the "spirit of the rule" when applied to rules in sports, and that ruling against the Bell TD was the exact opposite of the spirit of the rule. The intent is that it prevents a player from losing his helmet and then continuing to try to run down the field and avoid being...

So with only 73 yards passing and 1 TD with less than a quarter to go and going into the wind the rest of the way this game is cancelling out week 1 vs Ravens and destroying Manning's record season pace for yards and TDs.

I understand, but I just feel like the elation of my real-life team winning should always trump any disappointment from losing in fantasy. Like, if I was a Patriots fan and I had Decker on my fantasy team, I would be ecstatic that my defender just stepped in front of a pass intended for Decker...

Nothing wrong with playing fantasy football, but if it ever makes you not root for your favorite team you either don't actually care about that team as much as you'd like to pretend you do, or you have some kind of gambling problem.

Its not like every team is equal. As far as going for it on 4th downs, I would surmise that a team that has a good offense and a poor defense would benefit more from going for it on reasonable 4th downs than a team with a lesser offense and good defense. You also have to consider the 'flow of...

Gary Kubiak collapses at halftime Updated: November 3, 2013, 10:30 PM ET By Tania Ganguli | ESPN.com 135 50 39 EMAIL PRINT HOUSTON -- Texans coach Gary Kubiak collapsed on the field as he was leaving at halftime of Houston's Sunday night game against the Indianapolis Colts. Kubiak was...

Good for the Rams on finding another RB that will have a good-to-great career wasted on a perpetual 4-6 win team.

I mean I watched it several times, went back on the DVR and watched it frame by frame and it looks like his right knee hit out of bounds before his left foot touched the ground. It was very close, close enough that I would understand if it was reviewed and not overturned and sure it may have...

Fairly sure Hartline landed out of bounds on that long play before his 2nd foot hit the ground. They didn't even take a second look at it?

Tannehill at QB down by 3 with 1:18 left and a timeout? Dolphins more likely to lose by 10 than tie it up.

Or we might actually look and see that Smith and Kaepernickhave been effectively the same QB through 8 games,that the Chiefs have gone 8-0 against the second easiest SoS in the NFL(I.e. we don't know how good they actually are yet, as they haven't beaten anyone), andKaepernickcomes at 1/6th the...

Huh, turn on NFL Network this morning and everyone on there is defending Dez Bryant's rants as him being passionate and bringing a spark to his team. Might be the first time ever I've seen the media not jump all over a WR thats exploded on the sideline and try to turn them into a villain...

Yeah. Nike is the 'mastermind' behind the travesties that are the Vikings and Jaguars uniform redesigns. Not sure about all of college, but I'm pretty sure Oregon has a contract with Nike. It must be embarrassing to be a professional and have to sport a uniform that is 3 different shades of...

The Viking's matte colored helmets are just off of their uniform color enough to give them, IMO, the ugliest uniforms in football.

I can't imagine that if the Rams really did contact Favre they did it for no reason other than to get publicity? I mean, would they really think 44 year old Favre would come out of retirement to play for a team that has a 0% chance of making the post season, much less a super bowl run? Not...
