2013 NFL Season Thread

So if the Cowboys miss the playoffs and Tony Romo is the usual December Romo, its gotta mean he gets released and Garrett gets fired, right?

[Meacon Keaton]

No way. Romo wasn't responsible for giving up 107 points last night.

And Garrett is a little bitch, so Jerry Jones loves him. Should have never gotten rid of Rob Ryan.

[PatDaMan]

Especially not for old ass Monte Kiffin.

Great win by the Bears. Eagles face AP-less Vikings (maybe minus Gerhart too) next week, while the Cowboys might see the return of Rodgers. Things are shaping up rather nicely.

And I've started McCown in Fantasy for the last three weeks. The last thing that I ever expected to be able to say is "Josh McCown led my fantasy team to the playoffs"

Hahahahahahahahaha. He's in year one of a massive new 6 year deal, Romo isn't going anywhere. And when that deal ends, the Cowboys will only be in a worse spot because they never develop the QB position. It's going to be just like the post-Aikman seasons all over again.

So glad I stayed up to watch that game. McCown has surprised me with his competent play (although that spell where he nearly threw 3 picks on 5 passes nearly gave me a heart attack) and it's great seeing Alshon Jeffrey develop into Brandon Marshall 2.0.

What I wouldn't give for a semi-competent run D though, there's barely any point hoping for a playoff spot the way they defend the ground game.

FUCK, I think i've just missed playoffs in the euroleague because of that two-point conversion.

I think you're against me.

Bledsoe was one of the better post-Aikman QBs.

And this absolutely should be the season that causes the Cowboys to clean house. They could have had the division sewn up by Week 7, given how atrocious the other NFC East teams were. Instead, they'll end up in a must win game week 17, which they will lose.

But nothing will change, we'll keep running the same old, uncreative offense and trot out a shitty defense with a terrible secondary. Every year, rinse and repeat.

The person who Jerry Jones needs to fire is Jerry Jones. Firing Stephen Jones wouldn't be a bad idea too.

Any other GM would have been fired during the post-Aikman, pre-Romo swoon.

Maybe. If they lose this week to the Packers (pretty much contingent on Rodgers coming back and playing at a high level), the Eagles could very realistically have the division sewn up before week 17.

Bears/Eagles week 16 has been flexed to SNF.

[Maxx]

It's possible, but odds are on the side of the more dramatic, stomach punch scenario, because its the Cowboys. I bet they torch the Redskins in week 16 and then give up 35+ to the Eagles.

Yeah but I lost two on the bounce to close the season and ended up in the consolation instead of the proper playoffs

[Schlitzbrille]

Hey Peyton Manning,

Please forget that you're Peyton Manning. Nothing against you, just swap identities with Eli for the rest of the game.

[The Buscher]

Thomas and Decker get me basically nothing in fantasy and this sets up the Patriots for being the 1 seed if they can win out. Crap.

Well predictably the Bears look stupid for starting Cutler over a guy who was playing like one of the best QBs in the league.

Yeah I also look stupid for following their example and doing the same thing. Come on Cutler! There is only one name left on my list! I have to finish this!

[Maxx]

Now it's even more delicious.

[The Buscher]

I cannot for the life of me understand how Kevin Gilbride comes back in 2014. If I can sit at home and predict the Giants' offensive plays based solely on how they're lined up, I'm pretty sure NFL defensive coordinators can too.

[Your Mom]

I dont care if Brandon Marshall is your best fucking friend! Throw to someone else!

Thank you!
