2013 NFL regular season thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Vikings are gonna keep rolling with Ponder, begging the most obvious of questions: Why did they sign Josh Freeman? Or has he looked so bad he's not even worth playing at all?

I bet that if it was against a lower profile QB there would be no suspension, and possibly no penalty on the play.

[Montana Moe]

Yeah, man. The Saints get all the breaks.

Have a blast! I haven't been to too many NFL games (only a handful). I did go to the Colts @ 49ers in September this year. It was an amazing experience and a great result as the Colts won! An NFL game live is truly something everyone should experience. Amazing atmosphere. Have fun and go Colts (although this should be a tough test against a good Arizona team).

Dude you're gonna have a great time. I was down in Phoenix a few weeks ago for their game against Houston. Get down to the stadium early and check out all the tailgating going on. They'll have giant screens set up so you can watch all the early games.

I'm going to the Monday nighter in Seattle in a couple of weeks, does anyone know if there's still tailgaiting on a Monday afternoon before the game?

Having been to 5 games in Seattle, there really isn't a lot of "tailgaiting" anyway. The stadium is located to numerous bars and restaurants which are always packed on Sunday mornings. I suspect the same would be said of the Monday afternoon before a big game. I'm a big fan of King's Street pub.

numerous bars and restaurants works for me!

When does the tailgating start? The worst part is I'm 20 so because of those American drinking laws I'll have to be stealthy about the pre game beers

[Senator Clay Davis]

Dude it's America, most 20 year olds have some kind of drinking problem. I'm sure you'll find more than enough booze down there.

I got down to the parking lots around 11:45am (2:30 was kickoff). Tailgating was in full swing by then

IRVING, Texas -- After already saying during the summer that this is not an "Armageddon year" for coach Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones reiterated Thursday that Garrett will be his coach in 2014.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Jerry should give himself another facelift as a reward for the terrific job he's done as GM. The team is in cap hell and no good coach will ever want to coach there with him being so meddlesome. Wish my favorite team played in the NFC East.

[GirlySports]

Last 4-5 years Cowboys have had the most wasted talent. Gotta feel for for guys like Demarcus Ware and Jason Witten.. one of the best at their positions for years and playing for this clownshow.

I'd be fine with playing the Bucs twice a year.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I know Nick Foles would be happy. Also Matt Ryan is a #####.
