2012 NFL Season Thread

Nice start for the Broncos. Bucs go 3 and out and the Broncos go right down the field and score.

[Free Ben Hur!]

TD, head-shot, fine, maybe a suspension. Suck it Bears.

[browna]

2 last drives for SEA totalled 187 yards for 14 points, for much vaunted Bears defense. Even Former Bear Tim Ryan out of excuses.
Fantastic by Wilson....doing it will wihout penalties or a questionable fumble which Cutler was gifted on his 2 TD drives.

Now SEA holding the tiebreaker over CHI and GB....with the Rams, Bills, Cards and 49ers left...and the only road game is against Buffalo in Skydome.

The Lions are welcome to go to hell anytime now.

Kill me in real life, kill me in fantasy, what a terrible, terrible team to cheer for.

Damn Colts just won't go away. These 2 Texans - Colts games coming up could actually end up being very meaningful games for both teams, especially if Hou loses to NE next week.

Rams beat the 49ers in OT.
Good to see DET lose too...

[Flabbibulin]

Gotta love how good NFL coverage is even without NFL Sunday ticket. Just cycled through the channels and saw all the winning plays for Seahawks-Colts-Rams. That was awesome.

[Cheerio]

Wow that drive by Luck was insane. I still can't believe it. What a clutch player, thank you Painter/Orlovsky/Collins!

[Flabbibulin]

Well this brings up the inevitable scenario in SF. Do they go back to Alex Smith? Hard to to fault San Francisco defense on this loss imo. What a strange and stupid play call (or audible) on that fumble.

[GirlySports]

Lots of people camouflaged as empty seats at this Browns-Raiders game.

[Sylvanfan]

That was a pretty big win for the Colts, and gives them a really good shot at winning 10 games, which will certainly get them a playoff spot. What a remarkable turn around, and Bruce Arians has really done a great job as their interim coach.

If only the Chiefs had been this bad last year. I almost don't mind the win today...wait another year and maybe Johnny Football goes into the draft.

[Drake]

Ugh, where the hell was Joe Flacco throwing the football?

Looked he was trying to throw it away but still a pretty bone headed throw that was picked off by Ryan Clark.

[TitovFTW]

The Broncos short yardage offense is nothing short of pathetic. Could not be more frustrating to watch.


The most impressive part of that Luck late touchdown was how he accelerated and was ready to block anyone that might have got in the way. The Colts are a playoff team and that's insane when you look at the team they have. He has no chance of winning the MVP award due to his misleading statistics, but he's easily in the top 5 group of players most valuable to his teams success.

I've watched the final 3 minutes like 10 times now. That last drive was so perfect.

It's a shame that Calvin Johnson is on the Lions. He is the best reciever in the NFL and is a machine. Really fun to watch. It seems like if he isn't doing anything, the offense stops. Stafford-Johnson is a great combo.

And getting Freeman from the CFL was a great acquisition by Grigson. Very good tackler. Just proud of the team right now. Really loving TY Hilton as well.

Newton has the record of 4,051 passing yards by a rookie QB. Luck is already at 3,596 yards with 4 games to play. He also broke the record for most win (8) by a rookie QB. Bradford had 7. Luck also has 6 300+ passing yard games which is a rookie record as well.

[moon]

That last play with 3 Lions covering one guy scrambling to get to the wide open Colts receiver sums up the Lions defence to a tee.

[TitovFTW]

The Broncos just destroyed the Bucs in the 2nd half. Strength of competition has been nothing special during this win streak but the Broncos sure are looking good. They have all 3 phases, top 10 ranked offense and defense and one hell of a return game in Holliday. AFC playoffs are going to be exciting

[corporatejay]

Wow, that shot from CBS on the Heath Miller play was pretty spectacular. Hooray for technology.

[TitovFTW]

Things get really interesting in the AFC if the Steelers win today
