NFL 2013

[TetRefine]

Well, the greatest and most exciting season of all world sports kicked off Thursday, so I figured I'd start a thread to discuss it as the drama unfolds.

 

So far in Week 1….

 

-Peyton and the Broncos stomp Baltimore to open up the season.

 

-The Steelers offense was solidly horrible against a (at best) mediocre Tennessee team.

 

-God decided to give Jets fans a little early season hope by letting them squeak out a win against Tampa Bay. But I don't think anyone expects it to last with Fat Rex at the helm.

 

-The Patriots barely got past one of the worst teams in Buffalo. Could all the off-field drama with Aaron Hernandez's murder trial be affecting the model franchise of the past 12 years? 

 

 

 

Also, I find it funny how Obama postponed his Syria speech to Tuesday because it would have interfered with the first Monday Night Football games.

Week 2

 

The Mylanta Falcons are 1-1 and not looking good.

 

The Steelers are 0-2 and lost to the Bengals. Hell is freezing over.

 

The Brown Stains have already given up and traded away their best running back hoping for a second first round pick to pair up with their #1 overall.

 

Jacksonville is valiantly fighting the Browns for that #1 pick overall.

 

There are signs of life in Kansas City. Alex Smith is looking pretty darned good.

 

The Patriots look awful but are still winning.

 

The Saints are winning their close ones and playing better defense than they did all of last year.

 

The Cowgirls are inconsistent again. HUGE surprise.

 

The Bears are good as long as Cutler is healthy.

 

The Giants are 0-2 and sinking fast.

 

Seattle is looking large in the West.

 

Frisco is not as dominate as they were last year... so far.

 

The Cheese-Heads bounced back and throttled the very mortal looking Washington Dead-skins.

 

 

At this point, 8 teams are undefeated. 15 teams are 1-1. 8 teams are 0-2.  KC and the Eagles have already played.

 

Rex Ryan is still employed.

I'm so disappointed in the Falcons so far. 

 

Denver's looking good and I think Peyton would like to add the 2013-14 Super Bowl ring to his collection.  I think he feels he needs it to up his standing on the All-time QB list.

I'm so disappointed in the Falcons so far. 

 

 

The Dirty Birds are avoiding the rush and choking early this year.

This one is rather misleading.  The NFL, at the league level, is a non-profit because all profits go to the teams.  Each team is a unique legal entity, and taxes on profits are paid on the team level instead of the league level.

[Bill W]

Good grief.  The Giants and the Falcons are down for the count.  Is this Denver and Peyton Manning's year to stroll to the Super Bowl?

[TetRefine]

As a Pats fan, seeing the Giants self-destruct so early in the season is immensely gratifying.

[JamesSavik]

[Daddydavek]

I don't know about a stroll, but if roboManning keeps up he will rewrite the record books.

[Bill W]

James, I'm surprised you didn't have the Falcon doing a nosedive.  lol

[MJ85]

God dammit, Lions...

 

All you had to do today to stay on top of the division was win. Was it that hard?

[Daddydavek]

Bronco's at Colt's on Sunday night football.   How sweet it is!

[JamesSavik]

In the Colts-Broncos game the over and under had got to be a 100 points.

Biggest bullshit call in the Jets/Pats game yesterday.

The above quote sounds like it came from a Pats fan.....

You sir would be correct.

I don't want to say it, but I think Brady should seek a trial separation at least during football season

 

I kid you not, my theory for his bad passing is the "curse" of Gisele. He's never been the same, since he's been with her: throwing away a perfect season, losing to the Giants twice in Superbowls (Including the same infamous perfect season), and now the Jets

[MJ85]

Sooo, in today's game they said this would be the Lions' year to win their division (their first in 19 seasons).

 

I happen to agree very much with their assessment.

[dawn]

After a rough start, how many turnovers were there? Too many. The Lions looked pretty good. First Turkey Day win in 10 years. If they can stay healthy, might even have a chance at winning division and can hope maybe more.

[MJ85]

Soooo...who's watching the Snow Bowl in Philly today?

6 inches on the ground there already and it's still coming down...

 

EDIT: Dammit, Lions...

Watched Snow Bowl. Apparently and Embarrassingly it appears that Detroit forgot how to play old school ball.

[TalonRider]

I didn't watch the start of the game but when I did turn to it, I thought Holy shit! The snow wasn't to start until around half time of the game and be a light snow, not start a hour before the game and dump 8 inches on the city.
