    Guessing the Chargers issues weren't helped that the years when they had their best teams (with LT in his prime, etc) was also the same time when the AFC was all Brady's Pats vs. Manning's Colts, along with AFC North juggernauts Pittsburgh and Baltimore. AFC was stacked during that time...

    I remember a few years ago after Stafford's like 40+ TD season there were people talking about how the rise of the passing game to ridiculous levels and Stafford having 50 attempts a game was going to end up with him in the top 10 passing yards all time.

    Going to hold off on elite status seeing as how he piled up a decent portion of his stats in 2 games where they were down 40.

    I feel like I can't even blame Holtby, Carlson/Orpik pairing was a dumpster fire all over the ice...and it wasn't even mainly Orpik. Odd man rushes left and right. Still, you'd want Holtby to have another of those shots or two.

    One thing Ovechkin has always defied everyone's predictions on is his durability. Everyone was convinced with his physical style of play that he'd miss a ton of time in his career. He's never missed more than 4 games in a season save for '09-'10 where he missed 10 (although 4 were due to...

    Well, when you go into the 2nd period down 2-1, out shoot them 14-2 in the 2nd period, and enter the 3rd down 4-2...some dumb shit went on.

    Hope Holtby and Carlson/Orpik forget all about this game. I guess Holtby ended up with 16 saves, but when Rags went up 5-2 he had allowed 5 on 17 shots. Woof.

    I'm sure scoring will come down as the season goes on, but when I checked earlier there was 6 or 7 guys that had played about 10 games already that would be on pace to top 100 points this year. Nice to see the Orpik/Carlson pairing being terrible against the Rags. Pretty nice play by...

    Right, this was my read on it. If you're making this deal now for a guy at his age (still elite now, but this isn't a 24 year old who's going to the Pro Bowl for the next 10 years cornerstone LT) while giving up your 1st and 2nd this coming year? It would be an all in knowing this is the only...

    Should be noted that 5 of those TD passes came after being down 41-0 to Miami and 42-0 to Atlanta. Not that he hasn't done some good things this year, but if that doesn't qualify as garbage time I don't know what does.

    Are you predicting that Cousins will use the rest of the season to blossom into a starter in the league? Or just stating that is the "hope" for him and pointing out that Gabbert isn't in the same place at all (true)?

    Grimm, I wasn't saying it was based off the first 12 games this year, I know PP chances are way down since right after the 2004 lockout. I was stating that through 12 games this year, a lot more players are averaging over a point a game than guys did through last season. As you note, only 3...

    The goalie numbers are a big part of it, as is the PP chances, but I do think 3v3 OT will increase scoring some (I mean, really, how could it not?). Also again, there are a much higher number of players averaging over a point a game right now than there were through last season. Whether that...

    Somehow Luck stopped being absolutely terrible to only mildly so. Feel like they've been chucking it up every other play. Could have 6 picks in this game. Of course if they had a true #1 WR they might have won as well. Carolina trying to give it away.

    We'll have to see, scoring on the whole seems a little up at the start of this year. Minus guys who have played less than 7 games, there are 31 other skaters averaging over a point a game at the moment. Obviously, small sample size being only about an eighth into the season, but the additional...

    At least I can see a little more what the bitch would be on that goal. Letestu does kind of push into Ramo, although it's EXTREMELY light contact. I also don't see how it prevents him from making the save/doing his job. But at least in this case you have a guy skating right into the blue...

    Doubting it happens. Freeman certainly is ruining fantasy football all by himself currently, but if Matt Ryan continues to get worse as the season progresses, teams will be able to focus more and more on stopping Freeman.

    I just have to point out that they can still go 15-1, and this is coming from the guy who claimed this was the best Cowboys team ever, then after everyone points out that may be...an exaggeration...says everyone knew he meant best team they've had around Romo.

    Pats create more match up issues in coverage than GB does in my opinion. They get by on Rodgers and the platoon of decent wideouts who normally get so much time to get open with Rodgers buying time in and out of the pocket. Gronk will account for more yards by himself than Rodgers had all...

    While I think the outcome could be a lot different with everyone healthy for Pitt, Pats were up by 2 scores for the majority of that game. Yeah a couple of field goals got missed (not abnormal this year), but only reason it ended up a 7 point game was a TD in garbage time with 2 seconds left.

    More goalie interference shananigans. Lupul brushing Lundqvist in the paint was enough to uphold a disallowed goal.
