The 2013 football thread

[Brandon]

Enough of the team threads that only 2-4 visit. Let's have our annual thread for all games, smack talk, and friendly AW banter.

Kind of want the Jets to win here.

It's about to rain in Foxboro

[Brandon]

It looks like it was even snowing at some point.

What a shitty game

[Punk]

I don't think I've ever seen the Patriots punt so much in one game. 

[Brandon]

Geno Smith sucks.

The Patriots do as well. They usually blow out shitty teams like the Bills and Jets.

[Tank]

Enjoyed watching Tom Brady do his Lackey impression by yelling at a couple of his receivers who dropped passes or missed routes.

[Punk]

That's game.

 

Ugly win, but I'll take it.

[Brandon]

I think I'm going to be the asshole and list all the bad calls I see this year.

Thompkins td catch. It can go either way, but that's why I'm listing it. I've seen been a td grab because of the Bert Emmanuel rule, but in cases where the game has a chance to get out of line they call it incomplete. Even in his hands the ball will pop up when stretched out like that. Just the subjective call that gets called both ways that bugs me.

Pisses me off the Patriots are 2-0 after two awful performances

Well they did play the Bills and Jets. Patriots won't get by the Broncos or Texans playing like this.

The Patriots offense looked atrocious last night.  If they can't throw the ball effectively then they won't be able to run it either.  Thompkins and Dobson are rookies so you can't blame them too much but there were too many dropped passes or wrong routes run by both of them.  I think the Patriots need Gronkowski back more than anyone and they need to keep him on the field.  Amendola and Edelman have both produced when on the field this year but they need a big target like Gronk to help spread the field more.

As soon as the Patriots face a competent team they don't stand a chance.

Patriots have had the luxury of playing in the god awful AFC East during their dominance. That division is a joke. You got the 3 other teams trying to break in young QB's and hoping they are fixtures for them for years to come. Once the Pats get to 8 wins they have the division locked up

First run of the day and Eddie Lacy takes a helmet to his jaw/ear and gets knocked out from the game. The same player who knocked him out just tried to lead with his helmet against Starks and gets KO'd. Everybody moving which is good.

[Tank]

Packers are moving pretty easily through the Redskins defense. Rodgers just threw his third TD pass of the first half.

[HaloCory22]

I missed this Packers offense. Great to see it back. They're putting on a clinic.

[Brandon]

****ing NFL. Like clockwork.

Cowboys down in the 4th, Romo throws a pick, refs call it back with some phantom holding call.

[Brandon]

Cccccchhhhhiiiiieeeeefffffsssss

[Punk]

Good games so far.

 

Bring on the Manning Bowl.

Don't worry.  You guys got the call back on a complete BS Pass Interference call.

That was some karmic justice. Meriweather has a reputation for launching himself like that. Don't get how the refs missed BOTH of those plays and didn't flag him. He went directly helmet to helmet

[Brandon]

Naw, he tripped him and got there earlier. I'd rather see a no call there, but it's the NFL.

[Brandon]

Prefer one thread instead of going into every team thread.

Chiefs D is legit.

Patriots? haha.

Jacksonville might be the worst team ever.

New Orleans look strong.

[OregonLAA]

Any guesses for last undefeated team? I would say Saints without looking at the schedules
