    Ware is a god. The rest of the Cowboys defense still looks mediocre. Heh, only way Cowboys win is with this sort of luck.

    Err, I live in Wisconsin. I'm just too rational to be a fan, I guess. (I picked the 49ers to win, Staley shouldn't have been flagged, and even if the 49ers got 4 extra points there, they still would have won by two! This was no Fail Mary.)

    Everyone should have known Palmer to Fitz would result in Fantasy Points. The better question is if it will result in Actual Wins vs. real opponents. (I'm unconvinced so far.)

    2013 NFL Season

    Also, now that I can look up all the scores, did we fall into a time portal to the 70s? Two 6-7 games? 10-2? 21-2? Have we officially passed some inflection point where Defense wins early in the season, because the modern pass rushers just get up and wreck shit, while offenses actually have...

    I'm not getting the game locally (and my net connection sucks atm), but the Bills are winning? What the fiddly fuck?

    Reggie can catch passes, and that's all the Lions can (and should) do. Araysar just catching on to MNF opening week doubleheaders that have been going on for years? Shocker. (Checking out Monday's schedule? You've already given up on this Bears game?)

    I take it the quotes mean facts you don't like. 2012 Bears Season, vs. Playoff Teams: First Half: 1-1 (Beat Colts, Lost to Packers) Second Half: 1-5 (Beat Vikings, Lost to Texans, 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings, Packers) Yep, a schedule that went from 25% playoff teams to 75% playoff teams...

    Bullshit, they had a completely lopsided schedule and anyone should have seen it coming. Of course, the Packers are an injury or two away from giving the division to the Bears and making Araysar think he's sane. Sigh.

    I wouldn't bet any money on Falcons/Saints, Bengals/Bears, Dolphins/Browns, or Giants/Cowboys. No surprise, those are the games I am most interested in watching.

    Broncos need to go for 8 TDs in the game.

    ETA until article describing Dream AFC Game as Manning connects with Welker for Five TDs as Broncos defeat Patriots? Manning seems to be getting hurried / hit quite a bit.

    Someone should have listened to the other someones that said Manning's never had a set of receivers like this (and that's not even counting Julian Thomas turning into the James Jones of 2013).

    Well, the Ravens aren't going to run into a fully operational Manning Star every week. Without knowing just how improved the Steelers/Browns are, I wouldn't rule them out of a Wildcard just yet.

    A swampy pit will give the advantage to the Ravens! Upset! Didn't it look like that larger green glob will hit the area before the game is over? Getting visions of the MNF double-header where the game ends at 1AM Eastern. Also, in before "You can't tell Ray Lewis this was an accident."

    Hard Knocks - Cincinnati Bengals

    That finale didn't salvage my opinion of the season. I liked how the show flat out said "Yeah, Margus wasn't going to get cut", and then sheepishly suggested 'But he's the closest thing to a personality we have, so here's more coverage of him'. I'm not sure Gio Bernard's name was actually...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Currently, my 360 has Red Ringed and my PS3 has Yellow Lighted. So I've said "Screw It", and am now sitting them both out until Sep '14 or later. Oh no, I won't be able to play the (underwhelming-looking) Knack until next year? How will I survive.

    Yeah, there's a very good chance Payton is in "FUCK THE WORLD" mode, and the Saints' goal is 50 points per game. I've had them as a wildcard or better for this year since around this time last year. (Also, who knows how long Rodgers' OL will last.) Note: if the Saints defense is terrible...

    Dude, just stop. Say "I forgot about the Giants. My bad." and not this "When I said a, I meant 'one and only one', and not 'at least one', like virtually everyone would assume" nonsense. Seriously man, what is going on with your posts this week. It's like you are stuck somewhere between...

    I honestly don't know what to make of the Steelers. An optimist would say they just had an off year while two other teams in their division had strong years; they did have the best record for a non-playoff team in the AFC. A pessimist would say their issues are the same they've had for...

    Oof, I may have to eat some crow. I thought Rex Ryan would last through the year, but I didn't realize until listening to Grantland's NFL Preview Podcast (which I heartily recommend, because again, I love me some Bill Barnwell), that prior to the Jets' Bye Week, in order, they face...

    Vince Young Watch: 14 of 30, and a fumble. Most of those missed passes looked like absolute shit. The Packers win 2 games (maybe) without Rodgers.

    Chiefs finally scored a TD. Was announced as "Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Touchdown", total length a little under 10 seconds.

    2013 NFL Season

    Judging from the ads, the announcers are Milwaukee guys they use for Spanish-language Brewers broadcasts. So the rhythms and cadences are the same as American broadcasts, just in Spanish. No TDs yet to verify. I will say that The Chiefs translate as "Los Jefes" (The Bosses)... which is a...

    Not only am I watching a 4th preseason game to see just how bad Vince Young still is, but because of a local cable carriage spat, I have to watch it in Spanish on Telemundo. Dios mio.

    Yeah, for adults bitching about the 2DS, it's totally just for 7 year olds or younger. No 3D to melt their eyes, no hinge for them to break, and what four year old has pockets big enough to hold a standard 3DS anyway? That's the price cut / SKU consolidation for the Wii U I was expecting, I...

    2013 NFL Season

    I think the Saints are about as much a contender as the Bears (and I mean that honestly: both could win their divisions), and the Steelers only a bit less. With two games against the Bills and Jets each, the Dolphins probably have as much or more of a chance of a wildcard* than the Bears...

    Because they have nothing else.How much Jheranie, how much "Sorry random kicker X, we have to let you go", how much "Reaction shots from WAGs or Guy Sitting At Home" coverage does an episode have to have before you see that there is no there there?

    This season seems boring as hell. "Some WR that's only been there for a couple weeks, that we never bothered to mention before because he just doesn't matter, will be bumped up to 5 minutes of running time, because we have nothing else to air. Look, his name is spelled funny! Please keep...

    The Bridge-FX channel.

    I am still watching it for some reason. It just hasn't been worth mentioning. Wait - I couldn't believe last week that it looked like they were setting up a ATF Sting Operation parallel. But it sure looks like they'd do something that blunt. And of course Mustache Guy is "the killer". I...

    2013 NFL Season

    I think that the love for both the Bengals and Falcons boils down to "Loss less from last year than everyone else." 49ers: Injuries. Seahawks: Injuries. Packers: Injuries. Redskins: Lucky to win division, will regress to mean. Vikings: Even AP can't stay that good this year; the rest of the...
