2012-13 NFL thread (non-Steelers edition)

[Gaucho]

Tbh, I normally don't really start paying attention before the playoffs. But the lockout meant that I've seen a few games this season.

[Alejandro Rojas]

If Green Bay beats San Fran they will be in the Super Bowl.

I think this is the year Tom Brady finally gets that 4th ring on his 6th try.

[Steve]

I'm rooting for a Falcons (or Seahawks) vrs Texans superbowl - but I think it'll be Denver vrs Green Bay.

[bhaw]

I hate the late Saturday schedule. Start playing already!

This is my favorite weekend of football all year. Love the afternoon and night game on Saturday.

Don't you mean 3rd ring on 5th try?

Because unless I'm missing something, I'm under the impression that he has 2 rings currently and lost 2 SBs

[MWB]

Yeah, you got the wrong guy on that regard.

What exactly has Tebow done (not ESPN) to deserve the hate that gets tossed his way?

Players that get a lot of attention from the media get hate from certain types of fans. Doesn't make sense, but that's how it is.

[MRandall25]

Brady has won 3. XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX

[joopen]

Tebow is probably the only athlete that people have a genuine visceral dislike for by doing nothing than just being himself. The lengths to which people will go to denigrate his character and his person is truly something to behold.

Michael Vick tortured and heinously murdered dogs, but people didn't treat him with the kind of constant barrage of harassment that they do Tebow.

I've pretty much only seen people make fun of him for being a terrible QB since, ya know, he is. I don't really see much bashing of his character or anything like that.

Yup. I mean I go on the Internet and see a few people bashing him for bringing God into everything does but since I'm tolerant of other peoples religion it doesnt bother me.

But yeah the majority of people can't stand him because he's a terrible QB who gets shoved down our throats by ESPN as the 2nd coming of Joe Montana and he's the furthest thing from that.

If he was good like Brady or Manning I wouldn't care at all about the media shoving him down out throats because when your good, you get alot of media attention and rightfully so.

That was absolutely horrific coverage on that punt by the Ravens

[Froggy]

jacoby jones muffs another kickoff in the playoffs. the ravens fans shouldn't get too upset because he pretty moch won 3 games for them this year

[Froggy]

throw it up and cry for a PI...typical cheap ravens gameplan

[Staggy]

The good ole Flacco chuck and pray for pass interference.

[Staggy]

Great throw there though

[shafnutz05]

Horrible, horrible, horrible pass coverage. Good throw by Flacco

[shafnutz05]

Flacco is terrible at throwing intermediate passes, but when you let him throw long bombs to the likes of Torrey Smith, they have a solid chance.

[shafnutz05]

The NFL is going all-in with the Ray Lewis Goodbye Tour....horrible, horrible no-call pass interference on that pick-six. The fix is in

[Godric]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLLOOPLLL REFS ARE SO CROOKED

[Froggy]

so pass interference gives ravens TD's on both sides of the ball... riiiiight. keep crying about how the refs are out to get you, ravens fans

[Gaucho]

welp

[viva la ben]

As much as I hate the Ravens....loved seeing Manning face there.
