My thoughts on RG3 is the same as any mobile QB: Assume most teams, in time, will take away their running ability. How good of a standard QB are they without the run game? RG3s passing numbers are good but not great, so the trade deal will probably be viewed as a bad deal in the long run...

The guys writing the early seasons have long since moved on to other things. The guys writing the terrible later seasons have not, and are the most likely to have moved to this show. It may not be a problem. But it could be, which is why I am cautiously optimistic.

The guys behind the scenes are those from Parks & Recreation; if you squint you can see the similarities. "What if Jerry was young enough to be in love with a coworker? What if Tom was fully a woman and the secretary? What if we gave April a gun (shivers)?" By wide consensus its the best...

Wow, that was meta. Not all that funny, and honestly, not that accurate - I've seen seasons in people's 10th -20th best show lists a number of times over the years. A lot of people think it's an edgy and quality show - it's just not the best show in any given year.

It's only week two. Is it too early to be indignant that one of the 49ers/Seahawks/Packers/Bears/Saints/Falcons will be left out of the playoffs (probably Falcons), while an NFC East team is in? Furthermore, that one of the above is left out, while one (or all!) of the...

All the reports prior to the season were that Pep Hamilton relied heavily on the run game. I'm not surprised that they looked at their injured squad and decided they needed someone, now. Especially since a wildcard seems far more realistic now than we thought a couple weeks ago. (Come on...

In my mind, the Seahawks go as far as their seeding. If they get the #1 seed, I see them in the Super Bowl. I don't think they win the majority of the time in San Fran, Green Bay, or New Orleans. They probably win the majority of the time in Atlanta, Chicago, and any of the NFC Least.

Eh, I get the feeling that Manning throws for a 31-0 lead before the Broncos defense takes a nap and Pryor throws for 4+ TDs, with a final score somewhere around 45-34. No game with that much offense can really be boring.

Good thing it airs at 9pm; Fox doesn't air programming at 10pm. Ever. Never change Leonardo. Ratings wise it was, by modern standards, pretty big (3.5). Who knows if it keeps up that high (I doubt it), and who knows where it ends up on the schedule (Sleepy was supposed to end after 13...

Dalton looks terrible. Is he that scared of the Steeler pass rushers? Not that I can blame him...

Network TV continues its trend in scheduling all of its bland, generic entries in Fall, with almost all of the long shot, interesting shows appearing in the nebulous "Spring". This isn't a bad thing for those long shots! Due to TV production schedules, shows in the Fall are barely keeping...

How much say does Tomlin have in the roster? I just don't know how much you can coach up OL guys to be more durable. (Or will players into existence, like this year, when they drafted zero OL players, despite most people thinking that QB pressure is the biggest issue they've had for years.)...

So Brady had a 48% completion percentage, and 68% of his completed passes went to Edelman. I can't imagine how much money Vegas is taking from pro-Dolphins bettors right now.

As a Wisconsinite: 1) I am LOLing over here that Cutler is about to get tens of millions in guaranteed money because this year the NFC North gets the 2013 versions of the AFC North and NFC East. You know what Chicago, overpay all those veterans on your roster this year, and then I won't have to...

More than one person said that the long term effect of the replacement refs... was to remind us how often the real guys screw up.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Vick has to get hurt before this game is over, right?

At what point during the game though. It was 21-2 before the half, I can't blame any of their fans for leaving.

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-tr...s-flopping-era Solution is simple: if the game needs to be stopped for an injured player, that player can't return for 15 minutes of game clock. You know, for safety.

But, what about those exciting Chargers and Texans offenses! I admit, I couldn't even type that without chuckling to myself.

Sigh, I shoulda believed the hype: the Chip offense heavily relies on the running game, and I shoulda picked up McCoy. Wait, what? How is this not an incomplete pass?

That isn't Manning Face, that is Manning Entire Upper Body. Really interested to see Eagles/Redskins tonight, because right now the entire division looks like they'll be home by the end of wildcard weekend.

I can't believe they went with that controller for the Vita TV (ViTV?). Not only will it not play any Vita games that use the touchscreen, it won't be able to play any PS4 games that require the use of that mousepad either!

The twist ending is that... the Cowboys don't screw up? Brand new world we're in.

Did Claiborne just concuss himself on that guy's ass?

I'm humming circus music to myself whenever the Giants offense is on the field. Man is it gonna suck when they still beat the Packers in Week 11. Edit: Note that the NFC North has both the NFC East and AFC North this year. I'd be shocked if at least one wildcard doesn't come from the NFC...

Honest question, did anyone look good this week? Broncos yes (don't like how often Manning was touched, though), and the 49ers won even when their running game was shut down, but who else?

NFC Least Returns.

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.)

And doing a shitty ass job covering Boldin.

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.

Nah, everyone already assumes youropinionsare wrong. Now we know even your "facts" are wrong too.

Broncos need to go for 8 TDs in the game.
