2013 NFL regular season thread

man, tannehill seems pretty overrated to me. Everytime i watch him he makes at least half a dozen passes that are at least 6 feet away from his intended target (medium range pass accuracy is just garbage).

It's been tough being a dolphin fan over the years, but i find it very hard to believe this is the saviour. i don't see a precise enough arm for him to be anything better than a average starter in the league.

Ugh. It's time to move on from this Freeman fiasco. The Bucs should just let Glennon play out the remainder of the season as a write off and draft Johnny Manziel next spring.

Either one would be by prescription....so how did he have both to take one accidently?

I wonder if he switched because of the bad press Adderall got last year?

Tampa needs to cut Freeman, and fire the entire front office including the coach.

Personally I'd take any of Bridgewater, Hundley, Mariota and Boyd ahead of Manziel (may also include Aaron Murray). The guy has 0 pocket presence, relies way to much on his first read, plus his character is questionable at best.

I think he'll be an above average starter, but not an elite starter. Whether that's enough to make the Dolphins a regular playoff contender is the question.

The running game looked better last night, but the line really isn't getting the job done. Even the supposed top notch interior line looked poor. Defensively I don't know what to think. One series they looked elite, the next they looked miserable. Some of that has to do with the Saints doing a great job, but there were a number of plays where the D simply needed to be better.

Oh well, 3-1 is pretty much a dream start given that schedule and now they can continue to be under the radar. The Ravens and Bills are both beatable, do that and they head to Foxboro at 5-1 and are playing for the division lead. Not something anyone would have expected going into the year.

Kinda sounds like you're describing Josh Freeman. Anyways the Bucs will not be terrible enough to get Bridgewater (Jacksonville has that on lockdown), so the Bucs will probably be in the 6-10 range. Could be a lot of action in this draft as far as trades. My preferred choices are the Pac 12 guys in Hundley and Mariota.

[Sainters7]

Good game last night, what a difference actually having a DL that can cause pressure makes. Saints always seem to save their best games for Monday night. Offence finally coming around, I think Stills could be the real deal going forward.

Just need to get that run game going, that's my only concern right now. Not a huge issue in early autumn, but you gotta be able to pound the rock in January.

The interesting part is this:

Unfortunately, it appears that some people who may have noticed the testing at my workplace have made hurtful and incorrect assumptions and chosen to disseminate inaccurate and very disturbing information. It is a shame that when times have gotten tough, people have chosen to attack the character of others, rather than supporting each other.

Sounds like he is accusing someone on the Bucs.

That isn't good for either side.

Crap....Locker out 4-6 weeks with a hip injury/mild knee sprain. If the Titans win 1 out of the next 3 I'll be happy...tough games with the Chiefs/Seahwawks/49ers ahead.

Who else in the league is sitting at 0-4 right now? The Giants Jaguars, and Steelers. I think the Bucs will end up closer to the top pick than in the 6-10 range. They are a mess right now, and Schiano is pretty much a dead man walking.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Bucs are also 3 plays away from being 3-1. They are definitely the best of the 0-4 bunch and probably better than a lot of the 1-3 teams. They just have an absolutely pathetic offense right now. I mean they've held their 4 opponents to 18, 17, 23 and 13 points, including both Drew Brees and Tom Brady. The offense does not have 1 single TD drive not set up by a turnover, nor any TD drives longer than 43 yards. It's amazing the cliff this offense has fallen off since starting 6-4 last year.

That would be a great way to ensure there mediocrity for years to come.

So, how are Saints fans feeling about Kenny Stills at this point?

I agree with what Sainters7 said above, you can see that he's a quality player. I think it's going to take a while to fully grasp the complexities of that offense, especially if he's going to assume the Lance Moore role in the future.

HELL YEAH! LOVE LOVE THE MOVE!

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed in principle to trade offensive tackle Eugene Monroe to the Baltimore Ravens, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Ravens will send multiple third-day draft picks to Jacksonville in exchange for Monroe, a league source told Schefter. The deal is still pending a physical.

San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner, who has revealed he was fined $21,000 by the league for a hit during last Thursday night's victory over the St. Louis Rams, said Wednesday he's dropping the "W" from his last name.

"I actually put the paperwork in yesterday afternoon. Just waiting to get the paperwork out," he said in a conference call with the Houston media. "So from here on out until I retire, my name will be Donte Hitner, without the W."


OK then.

Removing the "T" may be a better idea than the "W".

And someone should remind him how well the legal name change went for Chad Johnson.

Oh man this is funnier than Dave 'Killer' Carlson!
It's also pretty funny that he is removing the W. As a Seahawk fan I applaud this.

It's too bad Locker will be out for so long. I went to high school with the kid and know that there are still a lot of Locker fans in the Seattle area that were hoping to see him play.

Josh Freeman has been cut by the Bucs. Jacksonville is the only place in the league I can seem him starting and they want Teddy Bridgewater so I don't see that either. I see Chicago, Oakland and Green Bay as potential destinations to backup.
