NFL Talk

Is it just me, or does Houston seem to play Tennessee, Jacksonville, or Indianapolis every week????

(p.s. i know the real answer, but for a team I don't really plan my Sundays around, it sure seems like every time I check the dial, it's either one of those teams....or Buffalo or some other blah matchup)

And while I'm on random thoughts, can someone please, please tell me the benefit of putting those stupid banners in stadiums that gives a shout-out to a player and the so-called "legion of fans" that sit behind it who are allegedly rooting for him?

Buffalo is a good example. They have many big-ass wall signs. One says, "George's Jungle," even though the folks sitting in the section behind the banner probably don't even know who George Wilson is. They also have "Moorman's Miracles," even though it would be a miracle for the people sitting in that section to actually worship the punter...even if he is their best player.

Do you think when "Whitner's Winners" went up, do you think Donte Whitner was like, "Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about! I got a banner on the stadium wall now! I'm somebody! Those chumps sitting in that section are MY fans! AND they're winners!"

So what is the purpose of these stupid signs besides telling the home crowd the name of the players on their team? I guess it's better than Verizon and Bud Light signs. Maybe fans are like, "Hey, I'm sitting in the "Trent's Turds" section. Look for me on TV."

Serious replies only to this ridiculous post, please.

Obviously for marketing, idiot. hehehe.

Are you going to the game tonight?

Nope.

I live 5 hours away. I got shit to do and half the people in Buffalo when the play are Canadians anyway because Toronto is only a hour and a half away.

Your loss, my friend. You could've had the chance to see a ball bounce off wide-open Braylon Edward's helmet in person.

Have you seen his numbers a couple of years ago?

There ridiculous.

It was like 80 or so catches with 1600 yards and like 16 TD's or something. How did he become so shit? And that's with Derek Anderson.

Rivers 14-0 in 14 December starts. Cleveland shouldn't be an issue this week. Looking ahead to KC. Patriots and Dolphs should be even. Go Pats.

Way to collapse, Redskins, way to collapse. face-plain

That TD the refs gave the Saints right before halftime was a terrible call but still a pretty big failure of a game for the Skins. This on top of the Dallas game and I honestly believe they have to cut Suisham.

Also, it was nowhere near enough evidence to overturn the Sellers fumble, but still, all they had to do was kick a damn extra point of a FG and this conversation would not be happening.

That was brutal.

But the most surprising game today was the Colts - Titans. I was positive that the Colts would lose. It made absolute sense. Hot division rival that has a crazy good RB that could destroy the Colts defense.

I guess not. (and the Steelers losing, that was also very wierd)

Patriots losing was sweet though.

True, that was pretty sweet but they seem to lose whenever they travel to Miami.

I can't be mad at the Cowboys. The Giants just outplayed them and for good reason. The Giants need that win more than the Cowboys.

But the Cowboys didn't really destroy themselves too much.

Two quick questions though.

1. Is Alex Smith actually good now?
2. Why does the broadcasters show 15 different replays for an injury but when a major play happens (the onside kick in the Giants - Cowboys game) they show one replay and a crappy one at that?

man those colts and saints are fun to watch..

Lotta luck there, I cant see them both going undefeated.

The Saints might. They don't really have a killer schedule coming up except for Dallas.

The Colts won't. They Denver and Jacksonville.

As for the playoffs, quick prediction.

Colts
Chargers
Patriots
Bengals (wah!!)

Vikings over Giants

Chargers over Vikings.

UGLY game so far. Let's hope Favre gets it going or the defense/special teams makes a huge play. The playcalling of Childress has been pretty bad tonight, not giving AP the ball early to establish the run, and now they can't run at all. You'd think they would use Harvin in the Wildcat more, but I guess that would make too much sense.

It's bound to happen eventually.

Vikings fail test #1. Was a road game though....
Man hopefully the Bengals Defense continues to play at a high level 🙂 I feel pretty good going into next week.
Imagine if we still had Odom....😉

BTW Ravens over Bengals in playoffs?! I hope not , but man Ray Rice is impressive...Also what if Bengals end up as second seed? Could easily happen now. Not a lock though....man I wish we would be more consistent on offense. We would be a force then 😉 Seems to me there isn't a clear cut elite team this year. Even the unbeatens to me just are lucky. I guess they are the elite until someone beats them though.
