NFL Discussion Thread - 2013

Sounds like our favorite city of HOU showed it's class again, by cheering when Shaub was injured in today's game against STL.

On a lesser note in the 9er game against AZ, when a AZ player needed to be carted off the field the crowd was busy doing the wave (announcers mentioned it as well as cameras showed some SF players were trying to signal the fans to knock it off).

*Warning bias rant coming*
Congrats to the Bronc's for their win and on the easiest schedule in the NFL, getting to play two defeated teams and at home none the less.

Also congrats to the Pats on getting to play the Saints at home instead of in NO.

Meanwhile my crappy *** Phins who haven't made the playoffs since Tony Sparanos rookie year as HC, has 3 games against teams that made the playoffs (from last year) the worst team they've played is the Browns in their home opener in Cleveland and who now after losing today is 3-3 on the year. Then played in NO who didn't make the playoffs but were undefeated until today (if that game is played in NO, NE loses that game). MIA played in IND for IND's only loss (well until they lose to the Broncs next week) then last week they play the Ravens and played well enough to win except for 2 BS PI calls that directly led to 10pts for BAL. While teams like NYJ, BAL, Denver, SF, SEA get away with being A LOT more physical on most every play and don't get called for a lot more contact then what I see the Phins get called for, all because those teams have a reputation and are winning teams

Now with that said I don't expect anyone to care and if your team is good refs don't decide the games, however my Phins aren't good enough to over come them so combine that with their tough schedule. Well I had to vent, when I see good to great teams get away with what my Phins get PI's or flags for and playing a tougher schedule then teams that made the playoffs last year. [/RANTOVER]
 
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Colts beat the Broncos. The Colts are legit, after beating both S.F. and Seattle. That's two of the top defenses in the league. Andrew Luck is looking like the top young QB in the game.

Miller will be back. Having a legit lash rush will greatly help the Denver D. Also the problem to beating Denver is not besting their D. It is being able to score enough to beat them. Dallas put up 48 and still fell short.

Nov. 17th it's Denver and KC. That looks tough. Playing them twice increases the difficulty of Denvers schedule. Not to mention @Indy and @New England. I wonder what the S.O.S. is based on 2013 records. Denver's has to increase.

I still say don't be surprised if the Colts beat the Broncos.

Agreed.

Also want to point out old faithful Frank the tank! It looked like early on it wasn't his day, but as time went on he got stronger and put the 49ers on his back against a solid AZ defense. The old man still carrying the load at age 30. Hope he gets a chance at the HOF one day, hope voters don't hold the fact that he played on a truly horrid offense during his younger days. Wonder what he would've done had he had this kind of roster around him during his prime.
 
So I guess Adrian Peterson's son that was murdered wasn't the one in all the pictures going around. He just recently found out he was the Father and hadn't met his son until the hospital visit. https://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/10/12/report-adrian-petersons-son-dies-met-him-1st-time-in-hospital/

Doesn't make it any less sad that a grown man beat a 2 year old to death, but it does change the story and it's annoying how the media pumps these things out to their own gain without seemingly any fact checking.

And then they suffer a letdown against SD. AS they say...on any given Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday or Saturday).
 
There is a real possibility that when K.C. goes to Denver on Nov. 17th both teams will be 9-0.

K.C. has v. Houston, V. Cleveland, @ Buffalo and a bye.

Denver has @ Indy, v. Washington, bye and @ San Diego.

Obviously @ Indy is the hardest challenge out of all those games. But I wonder how long Denver and K.C. will go undefeated. Denver might have to win 14 games to win the division.

Kansas City is a paper lion right now. They're winning but they haven't done anything to make me think they're even close to being a contender. Denver will roll them. Twice.

K.C allows the fewest ppg and has the 3rd best pass ypg defense.
 
Also Houston is even lower in my eyes. Not only do they have the Rockets but on Sunday the Houston fans cheered when Matt Schaub got injured. Just absolutely disgusting. Even Rams players were talking about how shameful it was.

Vs. Jacksonville, Dallas, Philly, Giants, Tennessee, and Oakland. By my standards, that's one good team and five bad-to-putrid teams. They are still 6-0 but playing a last place schedule has its advantages. I hope they're both undefeated when they face each other, but at the end of the game, I'd be surprised if they are with 20 of the Broncos.

Houston is a garbage dump and I say that with no weird sports-bias. Absolute junk people.
 
I think the Chiefs defense is legit; but if they shut down Foster this weekend I'll be thoroughly convinced.

Foster is on a roll right now.
 
FF question... Who should I start Fitz vs the Seahawks or Tompkins vs the jets? Have a feeling both games will be low scoring games.

That's a tough one. Word is Fitz is not 100%; but he managed to have a good game last Sunday.

Tompkins had that game winner last Sunday, but otherwise he didn't nothing. Word is Amendola and (probably) Gronk will be out again so he should get more looks.

Super tough call. Thursday games are always sloppy and Sherman will be on Fitzgerald.

If it was my team I'd still go with Fitzgerald though.
