NFL Week 13 Thread: Stevie Johnson won't forgive G-d for being a Steelers fan

I had forgotten just how awesome Tampa's old unis were.

 

Bucs are gonna lose. I guess the R.A. was right. Raheem Morris is a shitty coach. He's only 7-5 with the youngest or 2nd-youngest team in the league.

 

Stockton keeps getting Steve Bartkowski and Zeke Bratkowski confused today. It's really annoying.

 

Arthur Blank is a creepy looking dude.

 

You are aware of a division called the NFC West, correct? Because that division's existence, and the Rams being in first, makes your assertion absurd and shows how much you let your hatred of hondo blind you to making a coherent point about the Jags. And that's just for teams in first place this year.

 

I think the Ravens are going to take Pittsburgh to the woodshed tonight.

I have a bad feeling about this game.

 

With all these picks coming on outs, it's clear how much the Colts miss Dallas Clark. When he runs upfield, two guys go with him, and anyone playing outside zone cheats in a little, so the outside receivers are in one-on-one with their man behind him. Now, no one follows the TE inside, and the DBs can sit and wait for the outside receiver to break, then jump the route. Manning shouldn't make those throws as if he's still running Dallas Clark plays. You would think Manning would start to notice what the DBs are doing.

The crazy thing is, except for San Diego, in the recent string of losses Manning has nearly dug his team out of the hole -- and then his teammates make critical errors, like Ryan "False Start" Diem somehow letting a lineman through on a three-man rush as the Colts had NE on the ropes, and Wayne dropping that pass in OT. I don't mean to deflect blame from Manning, but this a team breakdown. Maybe that's why I mentioned Manning looked semi-aging -- knowing he has to be perfect because of the chaos around him is wearing him down and causing him to make some dumb decisions.

 

Manning is going to shatter the record for pass attempts in a season. That's a guarantee of 1. Eventually throwing a bunch of interceptions. 2, and more even more certainly, losing.

 

The pick-6 was obviously a miscommunication with the receiver, but Manning has thrown some very wobbly passes this year.

 

.....and the Raiders go on the road to SD and beat the Chargers. Now 4-0 in the West. Are you serious?

 

It ain't as lopsided as you think. And the AFC South is almost as rancid a pile of shit as the NFC West. It's just four hopelessly mediocre teams instead of three hopelessly mediocre teams and one truly wretched one.

In addition:
Jags PF-PA: 257-300
Rams PF-PA: 232-237
Seahawks PF-PA: 240-289

Jax losses: 38-13, 28-3, 30-3, 42-20

The Rams lost 44-6 to the Lions...and four other times by four points or less.

I'll grant you the Seahawks are horrendous (their losses: 31-14, 20-3, 33-3, 41-7, 34-19, 42-24). But they're not going to the playoffs. The Jags are. And will be the worst team to get there in the wild card era. Far worse than the Rams.
