2012 NFL Season Thread

Oh Romo awesome job giving the football right back to Chicago.......

[ResAlien]

Love or hate Cutler this made me laugh. To be fair, who would want to listen to Mike Tice anyway?

[PeteLFan]

Thanks a lot cowgirls. What a terrible team can't even get to a garbage QB like cutler. There goes my perfect ticket.

[Machiavelli]

Frustrating team is frustrating.

[dirk diggler]

you watch a team like the giants and then the cowboys, not even close. i am not a giants fan but they dont completly fall apart like these guys... with the way RG3 is playing, i am not sure the cowboys will finish better than the skins

[ResAlien]

At some point this decade Dallas has to figure out Romo sucks right?

[PeteLFan]

Hopefully Dallas never wins another game this season. Bryant and romo are atrocious.

[Sylvanfan]

Brandon Carr looked like he thought he was still playing defence for the Chiefs tonight.

[DropIt]

Wooo! Finally got to watch the game and am glad I didnt ruin it by avoiding the score all night. That is exactly what the Bears were looking like last season just before Cutler got hurt.

Oline looks like they are starting to gel a bit, Cutler actually has time to throw the ball and that 'below average' quarterback carves up the #1 ranked defense in the NFL. Who knew?

For how much the Bears defense is predicted and speculated as old, long in the tooth or past their prime they seem to keep fielding 11 tackle-hungry ballhawks year in and year out. A defense that can win games all on their own is incredibly impressive.

I'm not a Romo supporter but I don't think it's his fault.
Dallas' problems are top down.. Jerry Jones of course has no clue.
He hires a coach Garrett that's way out of his element (they should have hired Gruden years ago). Watching Rob Ryan have to remind Garrett to challenge the tipped ball pass interference call was embarrassing.

Romo's first interception - Bryant ran the wrong pattern
Romo's second interception - Ogiltree let the ball go through his hands.
Third interception - ok that was his fault.. more of a fumble
fourth and fifth, didn't matter they were down by so much he has to fling it.

So many dropped balls on 3rd downs.. ALL Cowboys had a bad game.

One last point.. when Brandon Marshall is on, is he the best WR in the game now? He looks unstoppable.

[PeteLFan]

Even with Marshall on he's not even close to being as good as Calvin Johnson. I'd sat Larry Fitzgerald is ahead of him as well.

[DropIt]

Marshall has the credentials to be considered a top 5 wide receiver in the NFL. 5 straight 1,000 yard receiving seasons is a pretty impressive feat for any receiver especially considering two of those years were in Miami.

I dont think he is the best receiver in the game though, with players like Calvin and Andre Johnson and Fitzgerald. I think Marshall's higher drop numbers bump him down the list

Not really a Romo fan, but you can't really blame him for last nite's loss. That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a receiver. Bryant was effing terrible and cost the Cowboys the game.

[Bertuzzied]

Man if it was me and i had $750k on the line with a Monday nite game. I would be flipping maxing out all my credit and flying down to Vegas Monday morning to bet $100k on the Packers.

While the regular NFL officials went back to work last Thursday, DiFelice was revelling in his big Proline win, thanks in part to the replacement officials handling the Sept. 24 game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers.
A botched call on the last play of that Monday night game gave the Seahawks the victory and meant DiFelice won $725,274 thanks to a perfect 15-for-15 prorogation of the NFL's third week.
"I still can't believe it," DiFelice said Monday as he drove home from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. office in Toronto. "It's funny when you think of it. It's unbelievable."
DiFelice's windfall is the third highest Proline payday. The most a Proline ticket has paid out was $874,857 in December 2011, followed by $759,465 in October 2010.

That Romo meltdown was right up there with the Americans on the last day of the Ryder cup

Except that wasn't the case at all. As pointed out above, the first 2 picks aren't even on him, and the last 2 are a product of a team that couldn't run the ball, couldn't protect it's QB and was forced to air it out. Not a lot of QB's are going to look good in those circumstances.

[Wood]

I'm happier every week that the Broncos drafted Demaryius Thomas over Dez Bryant

[Bertuzzied]

Also chalk one up for the stupidest first names. Dez just sucks.

[dirk diggler]

The fact that Dallas has to have a babysitter to look out for Dez says it all, good organizations would cut a guy like that loose regardless of talent. as long as JJ figures he is a GM, the boys will suck. i do feel a solid organization would allow Romo to be a winner, its not all on him, like a lot of people think
