the 2012 NFL thread

[The Burgomaster]

The Jets became the first team since the 1977 Atlanta Falcons not to score a touch down in the preseason. Wwll done Jets, well done. 

I think Tebow will end up replacing Sanchez as the starer in New York around weke 6 or so.

The Jets are dysfunctional.  I predict plenty of arguing among players, back-stabbing, Tebow-loving, and ultimately a record of about 6 - 10.

I predict a team from either the NFC or the AFC will win the Super Bowl this year., and I stand by that prediction because I've been right about that every year so far.

If Buffalo doesn't get into the postseason, Chan Gailey could be on very thin ice.  I think they'll get 9 wins and probably just miss out.  At least they shouldn't be in last place in the AFC East, possibly they'll be 2nd behind the Pats.

I love that Matt Flynn is being paid 10 million dollars to be a back up. I also know that should Seattle cut him Green Bay would snag him up in a heartbeat.

Philly's backup quartback, this kid Foles, looks really good.

I'd prefer him over Vick anyday.

Russell Wilson looks awfully good for the Seahawks to date, doesn't he?  They could be much better than people prognosticate.

First game of the season going on right now. I missed the NFL greatly.

I must say the Cowboys got off to an impressive start tonight.  But let's see how they finish the season before we get too excited!

[Jack]

Cangrat's on your Cowboys win Indy 

I'm hoping for a little better season for my Vike's than they had last year.  Maybe 6-10.  Maybe I'm being too optimistic lol.

Romo's my QB in both my fantasy leagues so I had a good night last night. Hate rooting for the Cowboys, but I hate the Giants too so it was acceptable.

I only have one fantasy team this year, it's a keeper league.

K = keeper.

If AP can't go Sunday, as I'm thinking he can't, I'm not sure who to start in his spot.

Wow.. Fitz off the bench?  Nice!  Well, he's due for a big year I think.  I hope for both our sakes he does well this year.

Yea, I kept him because his numbers would've been much better had everyone around him not gotten hurt. That, and Rivers interceptions last year left me feeling uneasy about him and I wanted a solid plan b so to speak.

RIP to a man who truly shaped the NFL.
