NFL Thread 2013-14

Well, Dobson's injured and Thompkins looked like he took a knock against the Texans, so that leaves the Pats with very little at receiver.

They probably just wanted someone who has some semblance of knowledge of the offense. He'll be cut again after the Browns game would be my prediction.

I'd like to see a little more of Josh Boyce this weekend.

 

[MrMarcello]

On my interest scale, this game rates a -3. So bad I watched CL highlights on FSN and now a terrible Elementary episode.

 

[MrMarcello]

Tim Tebow has been made an offer apparently to play American football....in Italy

His attempts to convert Italian Catholics to Evangelical Christianity would go over fantastically.

 

[Mighty Boosh]

So the QB class of 2014 isn't looking as great as it was at one stage, 2015 should be pretty special though.

How would people rank this years QB's? For me its looking like this

Bridgewater
Carr
Hundley (if he declares)
McCarron
Manziel

Gary Kubiak fired. Something was going to happen, the Texans have been a disaster this year.

Seattle @ Niners. Another big game. Two very tough defenses going at it. My opinion, the difference at the quarterback position will be the difference: can Russell Wilson keep his form up, or can Kaepernick return back to last year's performance levels with a healthier receiving corps?

Not sure who's going to win, but feel like it might be a close game.

 

[kikks]

No NCAA thread, so: anyone watching Auburn vs Mizzou? It's 45-42 now, 3rd quarter just ended. None of the defenses can stop anything. The last TD drive took like 20 seconds. From three run plays! Auburn has rushed for 494 yards.

 

[kikks]

But SEC D's are the best in the world, don'tcherknow. If this was a Big10 game the defenses would be slaughtered by the experts.

 

[adexkola]

There's been much better defense in the Big 10 game tonight. Mostly from Michigan State, but still.

 

[MrMarcello]

Ohio State exposed as frauds. FSU vs AU for the title, SEC finds a way to get in again (sigh).

 

[kikks]

Ohio choked. They were moving the ball well in the second and third quarter, but were stopped in the first and fourth. Wouldn't say frauds though. MSU have a damn good D.

There's a funny article titled The Ten Dumbest Fan Bases in America which features three NFL teams (Dallas, Oakland, Pittsburgh) and the rest are colleges/universities. The actual site, outkickthecoverage.com, is horrible at loading rate on the PC, and freezes up often. If you can get it to work do look it up. I was attempting to place a small segment for each school/team but when I got to #6, the website locked my PC up and I lost all my data I had compiled (had to close out my browser).

The list compiled by Clay Travis goes:
10 Tennessee
9 Dallas Cowboys
8 West Virginia
7 Oakland Raiders
6 Pittsburgh Steelers
5 Notre Dame
4 Arkansas
3 Ohio State
2 Kentucky
1 Alabama

Thompkins inactive, that's why collie is back. Poor bastard will be cut again by next week.

 

[gormless]

CJ2K is apparently gonna get cut at end of the year according to reports. If true, I think every team not called Minnesota would love him. His "mediocre" seasons have been about 1200 years regularly with a non existent offense.

 

[20solskjaer]

Snow game!!!!

 

[One Night Only]

Which one?

 

[vanthaman]

Philly is crazy, so glad it's the game on sky sports

 

[iSparky]

The Philly game is nuts? Gotta check this out.

 

[iSparky]

Wow, that snow is insane.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

Why is no snow on the yard lines?

 

[One Night Only]

fecking hell How can they even see each other? Proper mental! Hahaha

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Hahahah this snow is amazing. Why are Detorit wearing white in this weather FFS.

 

[One Night Only]

Hahahah this snow is amazing. Why are Detorit wearing white in this weather FFS.

Stealth. Smart fellas.

 

[One Night Only]

I'm watching on a stream, I dont think I've even managed to see the football yet

 

[vanthaman]

Why is no snow on the yard lines?

They've been blowing it off with a snow blower, although according to twitter fox are digitally putting in the lines and numbers

 

[iSparky]

Tuck rule, remember the good old tuck rule fellas! Love a snow game.

 

[Eboue]

this is amazing

Cheers

 

[20solskjaer]

Just turned on RedZone, the vikings @ ravens, dolphins @ steelers and chiefs @ redskins are snow games too, not quite as bad as philly though

 

[iSparky]

Another shit start by the Pats.

 

[JP77]

Awesome, love it like this. A few other games quite similar too. I've got our game against Miami on the computer and this one on the tele.

Spoiler

 

[Andrew~]

These games are incredible. Andrew Luck looks very much an inexperienced 2nd year QB without Reggie Wayne there.

 

[ha_rooney]

Hope Peterson is ok.

That snow is ridiculous. Imagine the SB being played in similar conditions!

 

[iSparky]

Gronk down, looks bad. feck sake!

 

[roseguy64]

Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks and he'll be fine for the postseason.

 

[JP77]

Oh we're fecking delivering under the pressure right now. Playoff hopes are still alive!

 

[iSparky]

We are the definition of pure shite today.

 

[MrMarcello]

NFL clubs will sell anything. Just heard on NFL Game Center, "Bengals are first-and-goal inside the Toyota Tundra Redzone." Cringeworthy.

Pats bangwagonners, the Browns, seriously?

Thoroughly enjoying the Deadskins getting annihilated again. Hoping the Lions can hold on against the Fagles.

 

[Andrew~]

So many insane games going on today...

 

[iSparky]

Ha, unless there is some miracle revival here we are going down to the browns. At home. Sickening.
