I wouldn't feel confident betting on NE for a 7 point win.
Seattle- Jags could be really ugly.
I can't wait for the 2014 draft when the Browns draft Tajh Boyd, and promptly destroy his career.

I like the Richardson trade from the Browns' side. They weren't going anywhere with him, and now they have 10 picks next year; 7 of them in the first 4 rounds. If they end up with 3-4 starters and a new QB out of that they definitely win and end up in a much better place than they would be had they kept Trent.
The question is, can the Browns not fuck up all of those picks.

Baltimore didn't inspire real confidence in beating Cleveland 14-6, and inspired even less getting skullfucked by Denver 49-27 on opening night. Of course, having to come back down a zillion points against San Diego and then having to take Tennessee into overtime to win doesn't inspire real confidence in Houston, either.

I'd take the SF side of that. The Colts needed a ridculous play by Luck to beat the Raiders and lost to the Dolphins. I'm not saying the 'Phins are a Phluke, but I don't like that loss by the Colts. The Niners are back home and likey pissed off about Sunday night.

I cant appreciate that, but Houston's 1-6 all-time record against Baltimore including 0-3 in Mobtown doesn't inspire real confidence, either.

Welp. Guess it's time to switch to the NFL game. Clemson and NC State were in a nice tight game, with NC State seemingly taking the lead on a huge 80+ yard TD run. Except some idiot ref called him OOB when he wasn't, NC State kind of deflated and fucked up the next couple of plays, Clemson got the ball back and scored on them quickly to basically end the game barring a miracle. Instead of 14-13 NCSU, it's 20-7 Clemson, and NC State looks beaten.

It's important to remember that I've only been following the NFL since about 2003, so when I ask this question I'm being 100% genuine. There's no malice in the question that follows. Were 49er fans a bunch of whiny bitches last time they were good, or is it just the new generation?

Meh, by 1989, they were permanently insufferable. But there was a whole lot of Steve Young hate when he started over Montana and until he finally got his own ring, and even then they still bashed him for not getting to more Super Bowls when Dallas and Green Bay were cockblocking them COZ JOE WOULDA DID IT.

Check this shit out:
QuoteAfter a stellar career at BYU, he signed a $42 million contract (still being paid in annuities) and spent two seasons with the USFL's Los Angeles Express.
QuoteAfter trying all season, Steve Young was finally able to buy his way out of the USFL. He went on to a Hall of Fame career in the NFL, and still receiving $1,000,000 a year from an annuity purchased by a team in a league that hasn't played a down of football in a quarter-century. Presumably, the annuity will continue to pay him until 2026.
Definitely one of the smartest QB law school grads ever.

How much is gamepass in your neck of the woods Liep?

About $280. Which is rather steep I think, but considering I'd have to order the full cable package to be able to see games otherwise it's incredibly cheap.

Actually, wouldn't the Dolphins be pretty much exactly the Raiders? A once-proud team that has fallen on hard times for various reasons? Still, the Dolphins are looking a little more promising lately, whereas the Raiders remain the Raiders.
The Browns are a different animal entirely. All of the ancient Browns magic moved to Baltimore. The new Browns have a whole culture of loserdom from the very beginning, just like the Texans did for years.

Exactly, no, but closer than I would like upon unbiased inspection. The Raiders have been pretty bad since the move to LA in 1985. Yeah, they had a couple brief resurgences since then, but it never stuck. The Dolphins have only been in this funk since 2004

I dunno. The Raiders were sort of cyclical. They were awesome prior to 1986, and then down for a while, and then up again in the early 90s, and then down again, and then up again in the early 2000s, and then worthless. But even in the down years, they were never as bad as they are right now. You know, there's an argument to be made that the Dolphins are just as bad as the Raiders post-2003. Sure, the Dolphins have that one year where Brady got hurt and they were able to coast through their weak division (only to get obliterated in the playoffs), but on the other hand Oakland never had a 1-win season either. I think the difference is that Miami didn't turn into a circus like Oakland did, and that Miami didn't miss quite as disastrously with their draft picks.
Mind you, like I said, Miami seems to be moving in the right direction, whereas Oakland is still in the mud.

It's interesting how much they turned around once they had gotten rid of both Dom Capers (2006) and David Carr (2007). Kubiak is 63-53 (including the one 6-10 Carr year, and the other 6-10 non Carr year where they were losing games in spectacular ways, such as giving up game winning hail marys to Jacksonville :bleeding:). Dom Capers was 18 - 46. :(

Kubiak is 63-53 (including the one 6-10 Carr year, and the other 6-10 non Carr year where they were losing games in spectacular ways, such as giving up game winning hail marys to Jacksonville :bleeding:). Dom Capers was 18 - 46. :(
Would a new coach and staff be enough for Cleveland? Er....another new coach and staff? Er........
:lol:
Some guys just weren't meant to be head coaches. Hell, you know how good Wade Phillips is as a DC. Still, the Browns need a new everything. They have the new owner but then that guy went and hired Michael Lombardi as GM, so we'll have to see. If I were an NFL owner, and a resume came across my desk that had anything to do with the mid-2000s Raiders, it would go straight into the trash along with Ide's.

As soon as Ray Lewis stepped onto the sideline, the game turned around. Somebody give that guy a job as linebackers coach or something.
Also, how about those Cleveland Browns? Sure, Minnesota is fatally flawed, but given how the Browns organization gave up on this year, the players are definitely showing some grit.

Welp. That's not good. Concussion last week, some sort of knee injury this week. I hope Martin and Hopkins can keep playing like they are and at least partially fill that gap if he misses significant time.
Those false starts and offsides are killing the Texans.
Damn, it's gotta be frustrating to be a Texans fan during games like this.
Looks like it might be one of their tard games. 13 penalties? That's definitely special right there.

Hey that was a nice draw.
No Crabtree, Davis or Manningham. Ugh
So here's a thing about Von Miller trying to "corrupt" the drug testing program:
QuoteBroncos linebacker Von Miller is currently serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms that Miller tried unsuccessfully to corrupt the NFL's drug-testing program with the help of a urine collector before both were caught.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen first reported the story.
This explains why when Miller was suspended on Aug. 20; initial reports indicated that the suspension was a result of negotiations between the NFL Players Association and the league. Miller could have faced a more severe suspension until it was negotiated down to six games.
"Any future mistakes -- not just necessarily a positive test -- but if Miller fails to comply with every piece of this testing protocol, it could result in a one-year suspension," La Canfora said during a Sunday appearance on CBS Sports Network's That Other Pregame Show.
One of Mortensen's sources was "reasonably certain" that no money changed hands between Miller and the collector, but, Mortensen adds, "there was concern the NFL may have a problem beyond Miller and the collector involved."
Mortensen continued: "While Miller's reps and the NFLPA were prepared to fight the suspension vigorously in the appeals process, sources said the NFL, NFLPA and Miller's representatives became aware the Broncos linebacker and the collector involved worked together in an attempt to help Miller avoid a failed test."
At the time of his suspension, Miller said that "there is no excuse" for violating the rules but added that the suspension did not "result from a positive test."
Now we know why.
"I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself," Miller said at the time. "I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others. I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future. During my time off the field, I will work tirelessly and focus exclusively on remaining in peak shape."
Last week, La Canfora reported that Miller's parents had moved in with the third-year player shortly after his suspension came down, and the Broncos plan to have a team employee work directly with Miller on a daily basis making sure he is coordinating his time wisely, and working with the player's representatives closely.
"Miller isn't seen as a bad kid by any stretch, but clearly he has issues with maturity and responsibility," La Canfora wrote. "He's been known to show up to the wrong meeting at the team facility or show up late despite being inside the facility, with details sometimes slipping his mind. For lack of a better word, team officials will babysit him more closely and ensure Miller understands that things many would take for granted -- like traveling outside of the state without first notifying the NFL -- he cannot do. Due to the stage of the drug program he is in, all such trips must be cleared first so that Miller is able to potentially be drug tested."

They're writing the eulogy already in Washington.
QuoteRobert Griffin III: The small difference between him in '12 and '13 makes all the difference
By Thomas Boswell, Sunday, September 22, 8:35 PM
Consequences arrive on their own schedule, not ours. When Robert Griffin III came back from major knee surgery in eight months and was pronounced "healed" — fast, mobile and ready to play, though in a knee brace — Washington thought that its beloved NFL team might have dodged the bullet that it shot at itself in January in the playoffs.
Maybe Coach Mike Shanahan's lousy decision to keep Griffin in against Seattle until he broke, or Griffin's foolish pride to ask, almost demand, to play, or Dr. James Andrews's role as Doc Irrelevant, would all be forgotten or forgiven because Griffin would return as the same RGIII. Wasn't that what the hour-long knee-recovery TV special implied? What knee injury? Look at Adrian Peterson, who came back as the same menace after surgery. Wasn't that what months of "All in for Week 1" meant?
Now, after losing on its home field to Detroit, 27-20 on Sunday, Washington has fallen to 0-3, a record from which few teams recover to reach the playoffs. For the second time, just like the Eagles opener, they lost at home to a team that was 4-12 last year.
Now it's likely that nobody has escaped anything. The consequences of Jan. 6 are arriving as this new season cracks. Last year, the Redskins won games by one, two and three points, as well as seven, seven and eight. They needed every bit of Griffin to do it. Now, he's still very good, but his cape is at the dry cleaners. His Superman socks have a few holes. And Washington's margin of error, even against mediocre-to-poor teams at home, has shriveled to nothing. A tough schedule just became ominous.
RGIII is back, or at least RG (0-III) is. He's far faster and more mobile than most quarterbacks. He can and should play. He has no gimp. He's a wonderful future-of-the-franchise quarterback. He's passed for more than 300 yards in three straight defeats, though a lot has come in garbage time.
But Griffin is not quite the same player. Will he be in a week or a month or next season? Nobody knows. Will he adapt, grow and become some slightly different type of fabulous veteran quarterback? Probably, with time. For example, in the fourth quarter Griffin threw a spectacular 57-yard bomb to Aldrick Robinson that was called a touchdown but, on review, showed that Robinson hadn't kept complete security all the way through the catch. Coach Mike Shanahan said: "I was not surprised at the result."
However, at least for now, it appears that Griffin is still a bit of a young project quarterback, in development, rather than the electric leader, playing a step above the NFL that seemed destined to redefine the position for his era.
Consequences.
What is clear after three weeks is that Griffin does not yet have quite enough raw speed to turn on the jets and terrify a defense, or escape from a defensive lineman as if he wore concrete boots, or pass with near-perfect accuracy at a full sprint. Will it come back? When and to what degree?
Twice, Griffin ran on designed plays, intended to show what a threat he still was as a runner. Instead, those plays went a humble 11 yards combined, and actually showed how scary he isn't. Last year, Griffin accelerated in the midst of a 76-yard scoring run that made the entire NFL gasp at replays for days. Defensive coordinators thought: "Got to stop that." On Sunday, the Lions shrugged. By game's end, Griffin had thrown 50 passes but run only those two called plays. Redskins to NFL: We'll run him a couple of times for show.
Griffin is still mobile in the pocket, but, so far, not mercurial. Once, he was sacked and fumbled, but luckily recovered himself. Once, a botched play left him falling on another of his own fumbles.
However, it was two other chilling moments, both Griffin turnovers inside the Lions 30-yard line, which showed his current limitations. In the second quarter, Griffin was dragged down from behind by a defensive end as he scrambled to his right. Circle the moment. Willie Young had an angle. But that never would have happened last year. Griffin came equipped with jets then. Now, he has legs. He's another fast guy in a league full of fast guys. As Young began to drag him down, Griffin threw off-balance into coverage for an easy interception that squandered at least a field goal attempt.
Early in the fourth quarter, tied at 17, Griffin scrambled then sped up the middle of the field, just as he often did in '12, for 21 important yards. Then, because he knows he must protect his knee, because he has been ordered, cajoled and begged to "slide," he tried to do what everybody wants.
But instead of sliding feet first, he dove head first, knocked the ball out of his own arms and fumbled into the paws of three waiting Lions. If he'd slid feet first and lost the ball at the same instant, the play would be ruled dead. Because he went head first, he was still considered a runner — thus, a fumble. And, at the least, another field goal attempt squandered. The Lions drove, took the lead 20-17 and never gave it back.
"I was declaring myself down to avoid the big hit," said Griffin. "But that's the rule. It could be a sucky rule but it's still one of the NFL rules."
Mystique is fragile. Griffin had it. Now, his knee brace practically announces, like a dreary flag, that he has to recreate it all over again.
The Redskins' official stance is that they "beat themselves," in London Fletcher's words, or that "we've just got to clean it up," in Griffin's terms, and they will be on the right track. But, after a (supposedly) easy game next week in Oakland, the schedule gets tougher, maybe even brutal.
This game brought progress. The defense "only" allowed 441 yards, 27 points and DeAngelo Hall scored his second defensive touchdown of the year. That ties the defensive back for the team lead in points scored. Also, the Redskins moved the pocket more often to buy Griffin space and time. He ran basic sprint outs, designed to end as passes. So he wasn't a sitting duck.
But the idea that the Redskins push that they have the same offense with the same potential, the same threats, the same options — so much of it keyed to the reality or the threat of Griffin's skills — just isn't true. There's a reason the Redskins have only scored seven points on offense in the first half of three games. It's one of the consequences of last December. Griffin isn't the same. So the Redskins aren't either. Not now. Eventually, someday, maybe.
Everyone has their own analysis of where blame lay on that day at FedEx against the Seahawks, including those who think there was no blame at all. Few will likely change their opinions on that piece of team history.
But a new piece of Washington history was made on Sunday. Since the team arrived here from Boston in 1937, the Lions had never won a game in this town. For my whole life, and long before, as soon as the Lions saw the Capitol dome on their team flight, they turned into tabbies. They were the homecoming patsy, the must-win game, the always-welcome Lions.
That almost certainly would have been the case again if the Robert Griffin III of '12 were the Redskins' quarterback. He still is, sort of — but not quite. And that difference, though small, may be the gap between winning and losing on several occasions this season. This defeat counts as "one."

Well in most normal divisions 0-3 would be a death sentence. But this is the 2013 NFC Least.
But this is a retarded article. Teams have figured out how to defend the Zone Read and the Redskins defense is horrible. Even if Griffin had never gotten injured and was better than '12 they might be something like 1-2 right now.
I like how he could have gotten more yards and broken what might have ended up being an arm tackle, but instead decided to run straight at 47 to try to truck him and just stopped right there. It's not cool when the other dude tackles you while you're trying to run over him, toolshed.

Beyond that, I think Griffin was rusty to start the season. I can understand why Shanahan held him out in the pre-season, but it might have been a mistake.

Cutler has more balls than brains sometimes. I dig that in a QB.

Just heard on Mike and Mike that the Redskins have let up more yards in the first three games than any other team in the Super Bowl era! :o
let up?
what the fuck is that?
It was hilarious watching Big Ben single-handedly implode the Steelheads from within. That big meathead.
QuoteFrank Gore was one of the few 49ers who played well in today's loss to the Colts, running 11 times for 82 yards and catching two passes for 21 yards. Which leads to the question: Why did Gore only get 13 touches?
That may be the question Gore wanted answered when, according to Kevin Lynch of the San Francisco Chronicle, he was angry at coach Jim Harbaugh at the end of the game.
Lynch reports that Gore "had choice words" for Harbaugh near the end of the game, as Gore was taking the field toward the end of the 49ers' 27-7 loss.
Gore would hardly be the first running back to get upset with his coach about how often he's getting the ball, but if Gore and Harbaugh aren't seeing eye to eye, that would be one more indication that things are not going well in San Francisco right now. Two weeks ago, after the 49ers opened the season with a win over the Packers, many NFL observers thought San Francisco was the best team in football. Now the 49ers have lost two in a row, by a combined score of 56-10.
Whatever is going wrong in San Francisco, the 49ers need to get it fixed in a hurry.
Oh 49ers please please please implode this year. If I have to watch you on my TV box every week at least let em see Kapernick shit the bed and Harbaugh whining like the true little bitch he is.
Yeah, it will be interesting to see how Harbaugh handles all this. He doesn't strike me as the kind that can.

I missed the second half-- at what point did Big Ben start limping to give himself an excuse for poor performance?

It was hilarious watching Big Ben single-handedly implode the Steelheads from within. That big meathead.

I like the grit he often shows on the field (like that game against Baltimore where he played with his shot foot and broken nose). Unfortunately, grit often translates into stupidity.
Bengals stadium experience has always been lacking, but it's kind of been our dirty little secret. Until recently :mellow:

The dude in charge of stadium audio-visual stuff actually works for the stadium (i.e., Hamilton County), not the team. And he's horrible.

I had heard about this somewhere, but I still just don't understand how at some point someone decided "Football player intro music" = "Katy Perry."

We're all wondering the same thing.
Is she really that much worse than Survivor?
I always liked FC St. Pauli's "Hells Bells".

You know, I think Tom Coughlin might actually get fired this year, for real.
Doubtful. They'll suck ass the first half of the season, win their last 6 games and sneak into the playoffs, like usual.
The Carolina game definitively established this is not a playoff team. I don't think there is much Coughlin can do to remedy the core problems on the offensive line. His son-in-law is declining physically do to chronic injuries and will never return to pro bowl form. Baas and Booth are basically backup level players pushed into starting spots. Pugh is a project thrown into a starting spot in desparation. Beatty is not as bad as he was shown up by Carolina but one has to wonder whether the Giants expected too much. Diehl will presumably help when he returns but like Snee he has had a lot of nagging injuries lately and clearly is on the downside. This is fundamentally a personnel problem. The Giants tried at address it with last year's draft and throwing money at Beatty but it was too little too late.
So have you all heard about the dude from the Cardinals who lost part of his finger during yesterday's game? He took his glove off and part of his finger stayed in the glove. AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED!!
Sorry no link, I just saw it mentioned 1000 times on Twitter.
That's pretty fucking badass.

Just heard on Mike and Mike that the Redskins have let up more yards in the first three games than any other team in the Super Bowl era! :o
The last time the Lions beat the Redskins on the road Franklin Roosevelt was still in his first term. (The franchise wasn't even in Washington, they beat the Boston Redskins.)

Still not as bad ass as Ronnie Lott :wub:
Did anyone else notice during the player intros (it was either Colts/Niners or Bears/Steelers) that a lot of players have started calling their alma mater THE University of Whatever?
Why does spell check not like alma mater? :hmm:
I blame those Ohio St asstards.
Alma mater. Mine seems to be okay with it.
Adding THE to everything is imo only mildly less stupid than blabbing out which high school they attended.
Some people think that Ohio State douchebaggery sounds cool.
THE Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis
(I don't know if there's a "the" in that one or not. probably not :P)
What happened to Jacoby's knee, anyway? Preseason injury, or what? I didn't even know he was having problems until he didn't play vs. Houston.
Those TOSsers.

They've been doing that for years. Using high schools, etc. I like it when somebody mentions their elementary school.
Well. Denver made that look easy.

This is different than THE high school thing. THE Florida State University. THE University of Wisconsin.
Heh. Terrelle Pryor is pretty fun to watch. He doesn't give a damn, he'll throw it anyway.
What's the over/under on total Raider first downs?
Dammit, I just knew I should've started Moore over McFadden, considering they'd be playing from behind.
This game would be much more interesting in 1988.

Got hurt in week one. One of the rookies ran into him on a special teams play.

Got hurt in Week 3, too.
QuoteJust hours after he was involved in an early-morning altercation that reportedly left him "bleeding everywhere," Ravens Pro Bowl kick returner Jacoby Jones reported to the team facility Monday to participate in a walk-through practice and continue rehabilitation of his right knee.
"As far as Jacoby, he's fine," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He went through everything today that he was supposed to go through. He didn't miss anything."
Jones was involved in anincident that happened on a party bus after a celebration of Ravens' left tackle Bryant McKinnie's birthday at the Opera Ultra Lounge in Washington. Harbaugh said he was made aware of the situation Monday morning, less than 24 hours after the Ravens beat the Houston Texans, 30-9, at M&T Bank Stadium.
"I'm not very impressed personally with the report," Harbaugh said. "It's not something we want to be known for. I'd like to think it's not something that those guys would want to be known for. It's nothing to be proud of. I'm kind of disappointed in that sense."
An eyewitness told TMZ, which first reported the incident, that he saw a bottle being swung at Jones and it "connected with his head and hurt him."
According to Gwendolyn Crump, the director of communications for the Metropolitan Police Department, "police were flagged down Monday morning shortly before 3 a.m. for an altercation that was occurring at 15th and I Street NW."
Crump said that the person who was injured "indicated that he did not know how he obtained the injury, refused medical treatment on the scene and refused to go to the hospital."
"Contrary to reports, Jacoby is fine ... and was back at practice this morning with his normal rehab routine," his agent, Kennard McGuire, said Monday in an interview with The Baltimore Sun.
Jones didn't respond to a request for comment. However, multiple people who saw him at the Under Armour Performance Center Monday said that his head injury did not appear serious. Jones, one of the heroes in the Ravens' victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, has missed the past two games after spraining his right knee during the Ravens' season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos on Sept. 5. The knee injury was expected to keep him out about a month.
Harbaugh said that he talked to both Jones and the team about the incident, although he wanted to keep that in house.
"Of course, we're going to have conversations and we had conversations about that and other things. I'll probably keep that between us. I addressed it with the team. What do you want to be known for? Do you want to be known as a football player or do you want to be known for that? I don't think it's anything to be proud of," Harbaugh said. "My Dad, Jack Harbaugh, is here and that's definitely a motto that was enforced in our household: Nothing good happens after midnight. I did reiterate that with the guys today, yes."
Harbaugh, who turned 51 Monday, added a little levity to his news conference when he was asked whether he'd celebrate his birthday on a party bus in Washington.
"Well, I'm going to pretend that question never happened," Harbaugh said, laughing.
Football doesn't get any better than Peyton Manning dismantling a defense.
Bless their little hearts, the Raiders aren't mailing it in on offense. They're still trying.

Couldn't even get a garbage TD, though :(
You know, this mighty Denver offense is going to look all the more ironical when they choke in the playoffs because Peyton can't play when it's chilly out.
PEYTON COULDNT BEAT THE GATORS AND HE CANT BEAT THE SNOW MISER

Hey, there's a garbage TD.

Would have been cooler without the blatant no-call helmet to helmet on Pryor at the end. Fuckers. I hate NFL refs and long for the incompetent, but equally incompetent replacement ref era. I was pleasantly surprised by the Raiders refusal to just completely roll over and die though. Redskins up next, so a shot at a win there. In the end, they're still better than the Giants though, which gives me a bit of temporary ammunition locally.
Nate Burleson broke his arm in a car accident and may miss the rest of the season. A pizza he was taking home fell off his front seat and distracted him, causing him to hit the center median.
