2012-13 NFL thread (non-Steelers edition)

Like how Kaepernick is bouncing back after making a bad pitch that turned into a TD the other way that tied the game. First play 16 yard completion, 2nd play about a 50 yard run. Hopefully can punch this in for a TD.

49ers offense has not been great today, knew Kaepernick was going to have some bumps in the roads, but I still like what I see.

Thank God for Harbaugh, the Niners might win this game. Either way, this is the last thing that he wanted to see...an ugly performance after making a huge decision to start him. I am still convinced Alex Smith is back in time for the postseason

[skullman80]

I don't think Smith see's the field again as a Niner. I think you have to stay with Kaep, he was being groomed as the future QB anyways. Kaep will have his growing pains, but he has a higher upside than Smith does at this point easily.

... and to OT we go again. Maybe we will get another tie. Ugh. Can't beat the Rams.

el oh el....Seattle has Chicago pinned back at their own 23 with about 20 seconds left and up by a FG. They somehow let Brandon Marshall catch a 46 yard ball, and Gould buries the 43 yarder for OT.

Brandon Marshall getting a TD in OT would help my fantasy team immensely.

i get a 5 pt bonus at 100 yds, so he already gave me a MONSTER game. but yeah... a TD would be nice

It's called the "I have the Seahwaks D and my opponent has Marshall" play.

Seattle with a big in in Chicago.

Wilson looks very good for a rookie.

[shafnutz05]

Gutsy, gutsy effort by Sidney Rice there. Hope he is ok

[skullman80]

David Akers sucks this year... ugh. ugh. ugh. 49ers deserve to lose this game.

IND with an exciting finish FTW. Stafford looks sick.

Some stunned faces for the Pensblog.

[skullman80]

Ugh.
49ers deserved to lose this game.

Hopefully this is a bit of a wake up call for the end of the season. Hopefully Harbaugh sticks with Kaepernick though.

[Staggy]

Andrew Luck is simply terrific.

[mikey287]

Christian Ponder is good. Very accurate, good head for the game. Solid, but unspectacular. Not sure what happened to him today because I didn't watch. But he's actually a quality guy, not a big upside, but quality. Pennington-ish.

As for Luck, this was probably the worst game of his career through 3 quarters. He just wasn't on today, making some bad decisions, no time in the pocket, unable to run with it. Then in the 4th quarter he just gets straight silly on the Lions...I'm surprised he didn't throw a block for the horrendous Donnie Avery on the score (doubly surprised Avery didn't drop it or lateral it). What a terrific fourth quarter for Luck, what a terrific season it's been to be a Colts fan. I never would have guessed of this...I'm [pizza] pumped!

[skullman80]

Christian Ponder is someone who should not be starting in the NFL. He'll be a competent backup I'm sure, but he's not a starter at the NFL level.

Luck looks like he has "it". Which is good news for Colts fans.

Philip Rivers, your smirky faces after you screw up show your loserness.

Embarrassing that he was drafted ahead of Ben.

What is it with so many teams this year on 3rd and 3 or less taking deep shots. Give the ball to your back and let him get you the 1st down. It's not cute or surprising when everyone sees it coming.

Not many great RBs in the league. There's only a handful you could legitimately count on to get that 3 yards consistently.

Then toss a slant for the first down. I guess the thought is long pass could result in PI call and if it's intercepted is like a punt but I just find it silly.
