Week 13 discussion thread

[GSC]

First topic message reminder :

We open in Atlanta, where the Falcons can clinch the NFC South this week providing they win and Tampa falls to Denver. Standing in their way is their most hated rivals and the team that handed them their only loss this season, the New Orleans Saints, who likely need to win out to make the postseason.

[GSC]

Think Tannehills had an underrated season considering his best WR is Hartline

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's in the shadow of Luck and RG3 really but he is proving to be a good pick up for Miami for sure.

[Derbyblue]

Random prediction - No offensive TDs in Cardinals @ Jets game.

[GSC]

Chatbox peeps?

[GSC]

Remember Jerome Simpsons flip last year.

Bennett got halfway there.

[GSC]

Think Rams have gone back to the unis they wore in the SB

[GSC]

Sherman struggling vs Marshall. Looks like he needs some juice

[GSC]

Too easy by far for Chicago offensively. Seattle getting 0 pressure on Cutler

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Brady picked off. Pretty crazy play by the DB

[Bull]

Cutler playing extremely well maybe that knock from a few weeks back put some sense into him

[GSC]

Tbf, Seattle isnt getting near him and Marshall seems to have the freedom of Chicago atm.

Mark Sanchez is still a garbage QB

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Arizona and New York Jets are a disgrace to offensive football atm

[crazy_dave23]

SACK THE KICKER...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rich Eisen ‏@richeisen
Says it all. RT @Dameshek: Lindley/Sanchez combined halftime stats: 15 of 36, 143 yds, 4 ints. #WorstHeadToHeadQBMatchupEver

[crazy_dave23]

SACK THE KICKER...

good lord... he can't even keep a kick off in bounds...

[mikeygnfl]

Are the 49ers and Rams heading for there second tie in so many weeks.

[Derbyblue]

Random prediction - No offensive TDs in Cardinals @ Jets game.

I was pretty close!

Patriots win AFC East 9 times in 10 years.

[Derbyblue]

He may not be 100% anymore but Phil Dawson still deserves to get to the Pro Bowl.

[Guest]

New low Oakland, new low

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Phillip Rivers doing Phillip Rivers things

[mikeygnfl]

It will be interesting to see what happens with the 49ers next week. Kaepernick or Alex Smith? Will David Akers be dropped?

[GSC]

Bryce Brown looks alright for a guy with 0 starts since college. Gotta fix those fumbles though

Nice to see guys like him and Graham still trying though

[GSC]

Current draft top 4:

Chiefs, Jags, Raiders, Eagles

Chiefs aand Jags currently have a better SoS than the Eagles

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I thought you had it GSC but then I remembered your secondary just don't give a crap and dont tackle

If I was Reid I would just bench Rodgers-Cromartie and Asomogha (spelling) because there really is no point in playing them. Shove some youngsters in there who at least make an effort

[GSC]

Tbh I really couldnt care less about CB tackling. Asante was awful at it as well.

Don't really have another option, Marsh is fairly bad.

[GSC]

Regardless of who's playing QB, the idea of McCoy and Brown running behind Jason Peters is intriguing. Might be worth holding off on a QB for a year and using a Garrard/Moore type to complement the run

[GSC]

Files was better I felt, pushed the ball down the field a bit more

[cherriesfna]

UmmmSeahawks 7-5 baby!!!!!!£

[mikeygnfl]

I like Nick Foles. He has come into a rough situation and it has taken some time for him to adjust but he had a much better game last night. Still think he and possibly the Eagles would have been in a better situation if he was kept in after a good preseason.

Brown looks good. He just seems to find spaces in the opposing offence. He and Foles seem to have some nice little plays too.

Big game tonight in the NFC East. A Giants win and they will be almost home and dry. A Redskins win and it becomes a three horse race.

[Derbyblue]

Do you have issues with your memory? Last week you said your season was over yet you seem to be delighted that they're moving further away from a good draft pick? I hope the appeals for your CBs take a bit longer to get through so they miss the maybe 1 game at the end of the season, a play off game which you'll lose and then cost you two games at the start of next season.

I don't think he really should've played this season but some gametime should help him adjust to the speed of the NFL. Browns got a nice mix of speed and power, hits the hole hard as opposed to Shady who likes to dance a bit. If our OL comes back healthy then we could follow the blueprint of beating teams and having a QB convert short 3rd downs

[GSC]

Looks like the Eagles have fired Jim Washburn. Good riddance to his crappy wide 9 scheme.

[GSC]

Not a surprise, but Reid names Foles starting QB regardless of Vick.

Pretty much ends Vick in Philly.

[GSC]

Jeff McLane ‏@Jeff_McLane
Reid on Washburn's firing: There were things that I was disappointed in Washburn.

Basically that he ****ed and moaned about Babin being cut.

[GSC]

Richard Sherman appeal date set for 14th of Dec

So he will play against Arizona and if (and in all likelihood when) his suspension is upheld he'll miss the last 3 games and a potential wildcard clash

[GSC]

See the Dallas Cowboys hype train is in full swing for Dez Bryant.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Such a good win for the Chiefs yesterday.

I feel so so horrible for that poor child. How you can orphan a 3 month old child is beyond me.

[GSC]

Something went very wrong in his head.

[GSC]

If the Colts beat the Titans and Pats beat the Texans, the Colts will have control of their own destiny in the AFC South

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I can't and probably never will understand how you can murder another human being let alone the mother of your 3 month old child.

Good to see the Chiefs are setting up a fund for the orphaned child

[GSC]

If you try to get into the mind of these people its a scary place.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If the Colts beat the Titans and Pats beat the Texans, the Colts will have control of their own destiny in the AFC South

I can't see the Colts winning the AFC South but they are pretty much nailed on for a wildcard tbh

[GSC]

Me neither but more remarkable turnarounds have happened. Colts would have to beat the Texans twice in 3 weeks

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

In all the Mark Sanchez getting benched shabang, Ryan Lindley was also being god awful.

In fact Lindley was much worse, considering he had Larry Fitzgerald who was getting open over and over again, yet went 10 out of 31 for 79 yards which is pathetic. I think he was worse than Sanchez, how Skelton isn't better I'll never know

[GSC]

Its not that Skelton isn't better.

Its that we already know Skelton is garbage

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah he is but he isn't as bad as Lindley and if I'm Whisenhunt I play Skelton cos otherwise I'm going 4-12 and losing my job

[GSC]

Looks like Whisenhunt is about to get canned and Ray Horton a trial run

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/03/report-cards-are-having-internal-conversations-on-ray-horton/

Missing the point a tad again.

Whis knows Skelton isn't saving his job.

[GSC]

Same reason Reid won't go back to Vick. No way he keeps his job with Vick starting, the Eagles cant do anything from here. Long shot that Foles flashes and he gets 1 more year (he isn't to clarify regardless)

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well if he is already gone then fair enough, might as well see what Lindley's got.

They need to draft O-line big time and maybe get a free agent QB
