2012 NFL Season Thread

I am aChargers fan but to quote Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were"... this team has the worst offensive line i have seen. Rivers used to be elite and i am not sure what has happened to him? the defense starts out by playing physical, gets a lead and then gets pushed around and doesnt make a play in the second half. Rivers was awful but that line needs to be seriously upgraded

wouldnt matter if they had brees or eli, there are far bigger issues with this team

The Broncos would be scary good if they had some more consistent playmakers for Manning to work with. Thomas and Decker could be very good, but they're not there yet

Mannings 4th 300 yd game this season...Tim Tebow has had one in his entire career.

[dirk diggler]

there are about 20 teams that could win a super bowl right now....

largest comeback by a road team in NFL history.

God, the Chargers underachieve so well. Andy Reid will fit in perfectly as their next head coach.

Fair point, why does Norv Turner still have a job?

There were 2 winning shares
matching 13 out of 13
for CARD 578
paying prizes of $129076.50 each

Guess I should have spent the extra 15 bucks and blocked the final 2 games like I originally was going to

Now there's some irony...a team that just got completely exposed is going to expose a team that has beaten two of the five best QBs in the league. The Niners truly got exposed this week, its pretty easy to beat them, just get an early lead and game over. Alex Smith cannot lead a comeback when he's forced to throw it consistently. The Seahawks have the best D in the NFL, better than the Niners. If Russell Wilson can give them consistent production they're a very dangerous team.

Well first, you should know a dbag team when you see one, you cheer for the biggest dbag team in sports. But hey if Princess Brady can dish out the trash talk, he damn sure better be ready to take it.

so now the 49ers are easy to beat because they layed an egg against the Giants? and the Seahwaks are suddenly the 85 bears apparently? 49ers still have the best defense. time will tell. get a spot reserved in canton for Russell Wilson....

Because the owner is too cheap to fire him or AJ Smith, a real organization would have cleaned house a long time ago... at the time ELi didnt go there, i thought that was a joke but clearly he made the right move. this team could have been so much more

Not in any single one measurable category.

They are good, no question, but that team should be 3-3 right now and in the MOR in the NFC, but beacuse they were gifted a win 3 weeks ago, you have them among the elite? Ridiculous.

that is correct, apparently after 1 good week, the Seahawks are elite and going to win the super bowl.... and the 49ers are now a horrible team.. i love the logic...

Holy crap, for a Chargers fan you are sure insanely defensive of the 49ers. Do you not remember 49-26? I do, it was one of the worst ass kickings ever. Really should have been 63-14 or so.

And where did I say put Russell Wilson in Canton? If Braylon Edwards could catch at Arizona and Wilson plays better in St. Louis the Seahawks would be undefeated right now. Keep thinking they're overrated, but they have a great defense (and it is the best in the league,..where did I say 85 Bears good?...jesus) and that can always take you places in this league.

Laid an egg eh? Twice now (Vikings game)? I'd say that speaks to a pattern. When you get up early on them, offensively they are not built to comeback, mostly because Alex Smith isn't very good at it. Outside their week one win, they've beaten up on three very mediocre teams (NYJ, BUF, DET). Acting the 49ers are some juggernaut for making Mark Sanchez and Ryan Fitzpatrick look bad, while the Seahawks are overrated for doing the same to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers seems strange to me.

i could say the same thing about the Seahawks, if they get down they are not built to comeback, dont let the Patriots game cloud your judgement, this is not a team that will comeback if down early against a good defense. you do know that they didnt really beat Aaron Rodgers right? the 49ers are certainly beatable but the Hawks after 6 games havent shown anything yet..... i know hawks fans much like Charger fans look for any glimmer of hope and the seahawks are certainly on the right track but it is a little early to crown them champs....

Whether than actually beat the Packers or not doesn't change the fact they abused Aaron Rodgers all night. The guy who just threw 6 TDs on Sunday got ragdolled by the Seahawks. Even last year you could see they had a lot of talent on that defense, just needed more consistency. The Seahawks are not built to come back either, although they did just come back from 23-10 against the Patriots so who knows?

And for the record, no Seahawks fan. I just recognize their defense is truly top notch, terrific back end, good linebackers and a tremendous pass rush. Russell Wilson basically needs to be Alex Smith of last year for them to win. I think they are equal with the 49ers right now, with the Niners having the experience edge.

it will be interesting as the season goes on, as the last few years have show us, the team that gets hot at the right time will be the winner and right now Seattle and about 15 other teams could all be that team.... i must say i am truly shocked at how well Browner has played coming from the CFL..... clearly Seattle has settled on Wilson, do they try and trade Flynn?
