NFL 2012-13 Season

[salsadancer7]

Patriots second half schedule:

Week 10- BUFFALO
Week 11- INDIANAPOLIS
Week 12- @ NY Jets (Thanksgiving Night)
Week 13- @ Miami
Week 14- HOUSTON (Monday night)
Week 15- SAN FRANCISCO (Sunday Night)
Week 16- @ Jacksonville
Week 17- MIAMI

12-4 would be sweet, but I'm realistically hoping for 11-5. Either way, the Pats would need help getting one of the coveted first round byes. One HUGE thing the Pats have going for them in tiebreaker scenarios: two of their three losses are out of conference.

I will be at the Pats-Dolphins game. Don't ask me how...

The one in Miami, I'm assuming.

 

[salsadancer7]

The one in Miami, I'm assuming.

Yes. It might be important. I have some family coming in from Puerto Rico and they have never seen an NFL game.

Just for the record the Eagles Suck!:rant:

Vick has had some serious issues with TOs, BUT....I have NO ISSUE with Vick wanting out from there. I have seen 4 games now with the Eagles and that is THE worst offensive line I have EVER seen in my life...and we are talking some BAD years in Oakland. TONS of of weapons, but what good is it if you have NOT time to throw...and in some cases, no time to even handing off!!

When you can't count past '3 mississippi' before you have to run for your life... that is a MAJOR issue. I am surprised he has not had a career ending injury.

The Arizona offensive line is pretty bad also.

Saw the Saint beat Vick and the Eagles last night Just having fun Teehar At least the Eagles are better that the Lambs(Rams)

The loss this past Sunday killed it for the Raiders. Denver now has a much easier schedule in the 2nd half as compared to the 1st. My Raiders would need WAY beyond a miracle. Even in the AFC West.

Arizona is close but Philly is the worst right now.Last night (no offense to the players that played) they played with scrubs besides Evan Mathis at LG.Rookie rg 3rd string rt,4th string C lol.Its bad,Reid's days in Philly are over.I just hope they won't do like last season and win 4 in a row to get to 7 or 8 wins.Hoping they get a high draft pick.Reid,Mornhinweg,April,Mudd,Washburn,and Vick will all be gone by seasons end maybe sooner.

Raiders have multiple EST games left which they've got abysmal records against... but on the bright side I think unlike last year they've learned how to win games without McFadden. I don't think they go away quietly, and will play spoiler for a few teams if not contend.

I'd probably take the Raiders as the best team capable of bumping the Steelers out of the playoff if that top 6 held up, especially with the head to head tiebreaker.

If Carson Palmer has to carry them on his back they are gonna fall real far,real fast.

Yes and no. IF Carson Palmer is allowed to audible and use the no-huddle... he can MORE of a positive than negative. IF they let Palmer play the dink and dunk no-huddle in the last 2:45 of the Tampa game...they tie and I liked their chances in OT.

But that Knapp....:rant: THAT guy....

From the ESPN AFC West blog:

The Raiders almost caught up in the fourth quarter by being patient. Yet, when they got the ball at their own 38-yard line, trailing 35-32 with 2:42 to go, Oakland got anxious and had Palmer air it out. The second play of the drive was a poorly thrown pass that was intercepted. Tampa Bay scored three plays later to seal the game.

That sequence ended what could have been a magical day for Oakland.

...that is SPOT on and MOSTLY Knapps fault for being greedy.

No dude... This past Sunday was MUST win. They are done. The chances are slim and none and "Slim" is holding the door for the "Nun".

 

[SabresRule]

The Chiefs and the Steelers next Monday... oh dear god, this has butt-kicking written all over it.

Will KC score ANY points?

 

[Mets82]

I dont know if KC can score. You talk about Oakland's O' Line and Philadelphia's O'Line, I think KC cant score at all. I mean they look defeated when they take the field. I mean sometimes you'll get upsets, that happens. But do you think KC can upset or beat anybody?

Ya gotta take time to look at it from the other side as well...
The O line is poor, yes, however, if you had a QB for the last 3-4 years that is NEVER in the pocket and NEVER where they think he is, due to his scrambling ability, thats gotta be VERY DIFFICULT on the O line to be able to block properly not knowing where your QB is at.
