NFL '13 Season Thread

[The Yak]

Winning ways continue for Panthers. Eight straight is a franchise record. Win # 9 ensures a winning season. Wouldn't have thought it possible when they sat at 1-3. Losses by Arizona and Chicago today strengthens the Panthers position for at least a Wildcard. If Seattle could beat New Orleans tomorrow that would be great.

MVP talk is starting to buzz around Cam now but they still have their doubters. If they can beat the Saints they are for real. It's a shame that even with a 8 game winning streak there are still questions about them. I think their defense is solid and may be the league's best. I am really liking this team. :glugglug:

The Jets are a fucked up team lmao

I think the Packers are doing the right thing with Rodgers, let him get healed up for next year, this season is over.

 

[BCT]

I have never seen a year like this where so many team in a division, in this case the NFC North, have continually tried so hard throughout the year to lose each game they are in. Whoever comes up winning it will be by default. All for of them are acting like the Lions this year.



Do you have any actual sensible analytical evidence that Manning is a "choker"? I'm going to guess no.

I put Rodgers and Brady up there because quite frankly over the past six or so years they have been as much of a "choker" as Manning has. (Not to mention both are not even having great years now.) Remember both of their near undefeated seasons where they were knocked off by a much inferior team? Remember the Pats two Superbowl loses to the Giants? When was the last time Brady won a Superbowl by the way? Does his winner sauce from the Pats beating the Rams, Panthers, and Eagles (barely in each case) years and years ago before he was an elite QB who won by good fortune and a good defense make up for not living up to expectations for the better part of a decade now when he really is one of the best in the league.

Going by your definition of choking why would you now put Brady ahead of Eli, or heck anybody over Eli if your going by your convictions for that matter, who must now the most clutchiest clutch performer that ever clutchy won clutch games considering his team was barely a top ten team the years he won? Although I thought Flacco might be up there now also in the annals of clutchiness (How's that working out for Baltimore? Did the magic clutch fairy forget to sprinkle magic dust on Flacco this year or is this always been his real level of performance and he just got lucky for a few games? Hey remember In Big Ben was also clutch? It must be somebody else the magic fairy passed over?) I don't put any more negative blame on Brady than he deserves for that than I do Manning for anything in his career.

Of course I don't believe in notions like clutch performance without proof, which there is none although there is proof it's probably an illusion, and true choking is probably extremely rare and overrated in professional level sports. Weird things happen in sports. The worse team sometimes loses. The better player sometimes plays with worse talent than others around his sport, and on any given Sunday the worse teams might win. It's even more striking when one considers the very little amount of games one has to statistically judge people by each year. There is often not that much difference between a team that 8-8 and one that 12-4 other than a few plays here and there. It's hard for a lot of people to accept this, but much of happens in football it is just dumb luck combined with small sample size, not all but A LOT. If not Peyton really needs to hunt down and have a talk with that magic fairy that's been unfair to him.

8 ones and dones and his vaginitis in the cold are all the evidence you need. He looked good in KC yesterday because it was warm and he's owned that team his whole career, there was zero pressure.

Manning had 3 horrid playoff games with Jacksonville & 2 by New Englsnd. But the colts defense at that time was "suspect" at best, putrid the rest of the time. Even under Dungy their defense muster 2 good games with one being the Super Bowl. As far as the KC game, I hope they gave the game ball to Marcus Cooper. Yes his new nickname is toast because he kept getting burned.

 

[feller469]

Just to add fuel to the fire and piss off some people, and because I really don't care, Tim Tebow has more playoff wins with Denver than Peyton Manning does. FACT <drop the mic and walk out>

So when he completes the comeback, it doesn't count. But when Carter hands the ball back to Brady, sorry, his kicker, Peyton is the choker. Clean logic right there. Was Brady choking earlier this year? Did he choke in those super bowls?

In other news, any MVP argument for anybody other than Peyton is just crazy. Cam, Russell, Tom and Calvin should all get consideration, but when someone is on pace to smash records, consideration is as good as you'll get.

Brady is a case of you win some, you lose some, you can't win them all, he's actually achieved multiple things in the past including owning forehead. Peyton Manning constantly fucks up, how do you fuckers not see that?

It's not right that Peyton manning always gets a fucking pass, I'm done arguing this, you all will see.

 

[STDiva]

Peyton could put up 350 and 4 TDs in a loss and people would say he choked.

 

[Jagger69]

I guess it was inevitable. 11-game losing streak, longest in franchise history....Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak gets the axe. And to think....some websites and publications had them going to the Super Bowl this year. Now....worst team in the league.

That's true but he doesn't put up those kinds of numbers in playoff games for the most part. Trindon Holliday saved his ass last year against the Ravens with 2 TD returns or that game might not have been as close.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Colts are awful. That is all.

Between them and Purdue, I'm getting real tired of fucking football.

It was snowing today in Philadelphia.

Tom Brady is God to you cats...

He' s the best ever to grip and throw a football.
Peyton Manning should aspire to be just like him.
:bowdown:

The NFL is now the WNFL. Fixed as can be, they just handed New England the game today.

The celebration in New England may be short lived. It appears Gronk has a torn ACL.
