2013 official Subsim NFL thread

Wake up! It's that time of year again!:o:woot::rock:


I was afraid the thead was going to jump the shark like shark week, but this years' pre-season drama sure looks tantalizing.

I guess this years theme is the "Rise of the Sophomore QBs."

RGIII?
Russell Wilson?
Andrew Luck?
Colin Kaepernick?
Ryan Tannehill?

No more soft-n-fluffy pac-12 defences to go up against. What's your record against real defense? 0-2 What you're not playing Portland St?:haha:

Speaking of soft-n- fluffy, Who wants to start as TE for the Pats? Can Tebow catch? Bible study starts at 6am. Can Brady tebow?

:Kaleun_Crying:No more NFL for me. Reason? The channel that broadcast Sunday night or Monday night football, have raised they monthly cost so much that I no more can effort to subscribe on that and some other channel.

So I just have to read about my team on the Internet.

Dallas beat Miami 24-20 last night for the first pre-season game aired on NBC sunday night football.

I retired when the score was Dallas 17 to Miami 3 in the 4th quarter (yawn)

but it's nice that football is back :yeah:

FOOTBALL!!!! head

[AVGWarhawk]

Tebow will be throwing and not receiving. Of course he will be throwing from the sidelines. Brady will not sit down. Although, Tebow might be the answer to the choke experienced by Brady in the past years playoffs. Sorry August. Had to be said. Hernandez will be watching from his new address.

Of course me being a dirty bird Ravens fan, our line up defected after Flacco was given the golden key to the payroll vault. That is OK as we need some young talent on the field. Our boys who have played the past five plus seasons are starting to feel the pain.

[fred8615]

The way players are dropping in training camp, will there be anyone left to play when the regular season starts?? :06:

Oh yeah, Geaux Saints!!!

[eddie]

I agree, a whole lot of starters are getting tore up already!!

[August]

I'm pretty sure that Tom has a few more good years left but I predict he will take a lot of knocks this year because he's lost so many of his receivers, especially the go to ones like Welker.

As for Tebow though he is never going to be taking the field unless both Brady and his backup Ryan Mallet are injured or he plays Tight End or some other position beside QB.

[AVGWarhawk]

Tebow will play the position of left out.

[August]

Tebow will play the position of left out.

I'd play that position if I got paid what they're paying him. :yep:

[AVGWarhawk]

I'd play that position if I got paid what they're paying him. :yep:

So would I. These guys want to play though. This is what they worked for. Sidelined is no fun.

[August]

So would I. These guys want to play though. This is what they worked for. Sidelined is no fun.

Very true. That's why I figure we don't know yet what role the Pats really intend for him to play.

[AVGWarhawk]

A week or so ago coach said he is throwing. I wonder if tactics are changing for the Pats. I noticed with Brady that he is killing the other team or he gets rattled and caves. Game lost. Perhaps Tebow will be the go to guy on the days Brady is not playing for keeps.

[nikimcbee]

I saw a little bit of the Pats- Eagles game. Any thoughts?
Tebow...:doh: I guess he had a few good plays. I'll wait until the end of preseason to make a decision. I imagine he'll get a lot of playing time.

[AVGWarhawk]

I hope Tebow does get more plat time. Maybe ground Brady a bit. In my opinion his emotions can get the better of him.

Tom Brady injured at Patriots practice



FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady limped off the practice field after appearing to hurt his left leg while throwing a pass.

Brady had left tackle Nate Solder pushed into him by a defender after throwing a fade to rookie Aaron Dobson that fell incomplete, and the former league MVP ended up on the ground holding his leg.
He took a few more snaps before talking with coach Bill Belichick and walking off gingerly but without assistance.
He was met by a member of the team's athletic training staff and walked to the adjacent indoor practice facility. He had not returned to the field after about 30 minutes.
Brady tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a game in 2008 and missed most of that season.
The Patriots were holding a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ryan Mallett replaced Brady at quarterback.

[August]

uh-oh,
August, you can Tebow can't you?

You guys are sure eager to see us replace our three time Superbowl winning QB with this bozo from Denver. :)

Seriously though from your own link:

...Ryan Mallett replaced Brady at quarterback

Mallet, not Tebow is Toms backup. Until that changes, and I suppose anything is possible, Tim Tebow is not going to be our Field General. :yep:

[nikimcbee]

I hear fear in your voice August.:hmmm::O:

Round 2 of the preseason tomorrow...

[August]

I hear fear in your voice August.:hmmm::O:

Fear? Fear of what? I saw a bad season coming when they released Welker and Woodhead. Hernandez's self destruction was just the icing on the cake.

The good news is that Brady only sprained the knee. No torn ligaments or other major damage. I guess he'll probably sit out the pre-season games to be ready for the season opener in Buffalo.

Must suck having a religious guy on the Pats team praying Brady gets hurt. :har::O::haha:

[AVGWarhawk]

^^^ HAHAHAHA DREAM ON!

:D Living the dream! :up: Talking smack!

[nikimcbee]

Now that I no longer work Sundays, I've definately got to catch a Seahawk game. I just hate the drive up to Seattle.

[August]

Must suck having a religious guy on the Pats team praying Brady gets hurt. :har::O::haha:

It only sucks when a team is so bad that nobody smack talks it except their own fans. :yeah:

[nikimcbee]

On one of the sport shows, they were debating whether or not Tebow would even make the first round of cuts.

On a side note, this is what I get for not paying attention to the off season. When did the Vikes pick up Matt Cassell?:hmmm:

[AVGWarhawk]

It's the price of that Lombardi trophy I guess. :)

[AVGWarhawk]

There is always a price. I'll be heading to the Panthers/Ravens preseason game next Thursday. I'm ready for some football :D

They picked up Matt as soon as the Chiefs signed Alex Smith. And from what I saw on the local sports show, Ponder is getting a bit better, but still making the same mistakes he made last year. He hasn't figured out how to throw off his back foot yet. One nice thing about Matt in the preseason game against Houston, I think that was the first time a Vikes quarterback has thrown for over 200 yards in a game in at least a few years anyway!:woot:

[AVGWarhawk]

Welcome to da hood. :stare:

[soopaman2]

My Niners have patched up the reciever holes it had last year.

Anquan Boldin is in the house.

We got Kaepernick, who played so cool in the biggest stage in sports a few months ago, he really impressed me.

Go Niners, after all the misery we had, 5 win, 8 win seasons, for once we can be optimistic.

On paper, they are the number one team.

How it pans out in reality is anyones guess, but it looks great for them.

Hopefully Colin Kaep does what he did last year, and look to pass first and not fall into an "RG3" pattern, and hurt himself constantly running.



On a side note, Alex Smith is a great pickup for the Chiefs, Harbaugh fixed him, KC will compete with him, Alex is a good qb, he was always used wrong.

[CaptainHaplo]

Welcome to da hood. :stare:

Don't worry, we are just visiting. Nice place - who does the decorating?

Here is to an injury free game! (It's preseason, I don't get too worked up - yet.)

Besides, we are in the city of brotherly love this week. Any eaglet fans need a hug? Your gonna need one after the game!

[AVGWarhawk]

Anquan Boldin is in the house.

On paper, they are the number one team.




Hated to see Boldin go. He will be double teamed much like he was when playing in Baltimore. Sucked because the guy is a great player.

On paper? What kind of paper? :hmmm:

[AVGWarhawk]

The decorating is done by Smith/Wesson, Glock, Baretta, Winchester and Taurus. :haha:

It is preseason. All out war is not called for. :up:

[soopaman2]

Hated to see Boldin go. He will be double teamed much like he was when playing in Baltimore. Sucked because the guy is a great player.

On paper, like Madden stats, they are number one.

On paper is simply based on stats and performance, it is simply a prediction.

No one expected on paper 2 years ago, the 49ers would go the NFC championship game, they were an 8 win team the year before.

On paper means nothing, as every game must be played.

(Tom Brady took a pay cut to save salary cap room, that is a true elite.)

I feel that they jumped too hard on Joe Flacco, it hampered the Ravens ability to keep and pay Boldin, allowing the Niners to scoop him up with draft picks.

Flacco is not an elite qb, and should not have been paid like one.

IMHO of course.

As for Boldin being double teamed, it leaves one of our other guys open, and with a competent qb with a run game, and a sonic cannon shoulder, I feel Boldin will fit in nicely.

Ray Lewis will be missed, him and Strahan are 2 modern day defensive legends. My 2 favorites since Charles Haley, and Lawrence Taylor.
Edit: Watch out for the Chiefs, Smith will improve them.

[AVGWarhawk]

Soopa:

The only paper that matters is in the bathroom. :03:

(Tom Brady took a pay cut to save salary cap room, that is a true elite.)

In your opinion of course. :03:

I feel that they jumped too hard on Joe Flacco, it hampered the Ravens ability to keep and pay Boldin, allowing the Niners to scoop him up with draft picks.

Agreed. Once the cash vanished so did the players looking for better pay and deserved better pay.

Flacco is not an elite qb, and should not have been paid like one.

His stats say otherwise. :03:

Ray Lewis will be missed

His presence on the field? Certainly. Needing him the game to win? Not really. He spent a better part of last season on the bench.

[soopaman2]

Not being mean AVG, Just do not get Flacco.

He is not in the same class as Eli Manning or Tom Brady, or even Aaron rodgers.

Sure stats...But that brings us back to the "on paper" discussion, know what I mean?

Too much money for him, with no one around him, what can he do, at least RG3 and Vick can run.

I cannot predict the final outcome, I just want it to be be Ravens Niners again:D

It was so much fun last time, wasn't it?:salute:

[AVGWarhawk]

RG3 and Vick are not elite QB by any stretch of the imagination. Eli, Brady and Rodgers make it look pretty and easy. Flacco does not have that finesse as seen by great QB. However, a QB does not need need to make it look pretty to be successful. Let see how Brady fairs with Welker gone and Hernandez locked up. Fact remains, Flacco has not missed post season play since becoming QB in Baltimore. That is not stats. It's in the history books.

I do not see the Ravens up against the Niners again this year. We lost a lot of good talent. All the same, it was a great game and one to remember for years to come!

[soopaman2]

I am fearful of talking too much crap.

Bad karma and such.

Just make sure you guys beat any New York, or NFC west team you come across.

I hated the Ravens in the bowl. Hated to see a brother on brother, (even if John helped jim with info on the Pittsburg game last year ) No real reason for me to hate them, and I love Ray Lewis. He is the Derek Jeter of football, the guy who makes a difference with only his presence.

I can see the Ravens up there in the AFC.
I do not see Denver as being able to compete, despite the losses to the Ravens..

The difference will be John Harbaugh, A fine coach, from a fine stock. He will adapt and overcome.


Seeya in the big game next year, the world will be sick of Harbaugh brother Super Bowls. :D

[Gargamel]

I predict the Browns will take the super bowl in 5.

[soopaman2]

Knicks in 4 is mine.

[Gargamel]

Well, We haven't seen that round yet, so I'm not sure on the format.

[soopaman2]

I would love to see the Browns in the big Game.

If any franchise deserved it...

[ReallyDedPoet]

I know it's preseason but still nice to see the Vike's struggle.

[soopaman2]

Last years NFL thread was so much fun!

Lots of good natured ribbing, triumph and heartbreak (especially for me:wah:)

I am feeling all sentimental, this is the third one I am participating in.

Manning up now...

A name you will hear alot of this season....

Colin Kaepernick.

Hard name to read. (cap-er-nick)

You will hear it alot, the kid is really the next best thing.
Got a great brain for a qb, a cannon for an arm, and runs the 40yd dash faster than all the recievers.

I mean we all saw the Super Bowl, last year, he had great poise, but I hear so little from the ESPN and sports "pundits" on him.

Just like 2 years ago, when they were crap, and made it to the NFC championship game, and no one thought they could get that far. the red and gold will have to force respect out of people, again...

49ers, named after gold prospectors in California.

Well this year we find the mother lode.:salute:

[AVGWarhawk]

I know it's preseason but still nice to see the Vike's struggle.

Preseason is made for finding trouble spots. The Ravens first string against the Falcons was ugly. They need work. The biggest thing is everyone gets off the field without injury. :up:

[CaptainHaplo]

Oy - your going to get to see Cam and Smitty make the Ravens eat some Crow.... NICE!

I am not too big to admit I was wrong....

It was the Panther D that made them eat crow..... :woot:
21 points for the DEFENSE - 7 on special teams.
Victory, while sweet, won't be forthcoming if my Panthers can't get an offense that scores more than field goals... :/\\!!

[eddie]

Ouch!! Detroit spanks New England 40-7

Glad I don't have to face Bill after that!!:D

[fred8615]

I just hope Brady has a game like that sometime during the first half of the regular season. Don't want him breaking the consecutive game TD record Drew Brees just set last year.

oooh, I almost forgot...Cheezeheadz v Seahawks!:up: That should be a good game, even if it is preseason.

Just 2 hrs and 45 minutes from now too 5pm pst

should be a good game ... a get even game can not be considered a preseason game.

However Seattle is hot (in Seattle that is) and should go all the way if they stay healthy.

I wonder if their stadium smells like marijuana now that it is legal in the state of Washington?

Told you this would be a rebuilding year. :)

They won their first two pre-season games and people were already talking superbowl. Well it just don't work like that. Between injury, jail and trades there are just too many weapons gone for us to have any consistency. They might do well one game and choke the next. Either way Tom is gonna have a lot of grass stains on his butt this year I think. :yep:

[nikimcbee]

Breaking Bad trumped football last night. I didn't know they were tearing down Candlestick. Man that place has a big-ass parking lot.:dead:

I don't take to much stock in a preseason game. The idea is to get off the field without injury. It is squad practice really. Running routes and such. Offical game day is a totally different mind set and play calling.

[soopaman2]

Most preseason games got second and third string defenses, and the guys are not hitting as hard.

I read some articles about the Pats Being Number one, and others saying the niners are number one. Alot of articles trashing the Giants. (Which I really enjoy)

But we got 16 games to play.

Good luck to all, and greetings from the NJ chapter of Niners nation!:D

[AVGWarhawk]

The key for the 49'ers is keeping the QB from getting injured. Kaepernick will probably be targeted every game so he does not start running. I hate to say it, I think he will get clipped and injured this year. QB should not be running and blocking.

Kaep looks to pass first,he more than proved that, and kinda learned from the RG3 fiasco, with him getting injured constantly running. Kaep got a cannon of an arm.

I mean a noob in the superbowl (and the league in general), and he was mister cool. He almost won it...Almost is crap, but he had the right stuff.

I saw a pic on the 49er twitter of Kaep hugging Alex Smith and felt kinda sad, Alex did so much for the niners, and he took this with grace. KC is going to be a good team this year thanks to him. Good man, and a solid qb.

I say Jim Harbaugh is to credit for both men, an ex qb himself.

(edit: NFL stupid trivia. Jim Harbaugh was replaced by Peyton Manning as the starting qb of the Colts.)

[AVGWarhawk]

We'll see soopa. The opposing teams will look to defend his wanting to run. I think he will be rushed quite a bit producing hurried throws or a resulting sack. Then again, I'm in transportation so how can I really know this? :haha:

Yessir, 16 games, good luck!

Anquan Boldin. You will see alot of him (my prediction)

For 2 draft picks...

What did he do wrong besides kill the niners in the Bowl?
(edit: Like scat on the head and face, he murdered them, he earned Flaccos overrated contract.))

[AVGWarhawk]

What did he do wrong besides kill the niners in the Bowl?

He left the Ravens. :stare:

Can't blame him. Offering up $120 mil to Flacco the pie got really small.

[soopaman2]

He left the Ravens. :stare:

Can't blame him. Offering up $120 mil to Flacco the pie got really small.
:oops: I wasn't saying that to be mean, I am just happy to patch up the holes in my own team. We had one real reciever, the rest was Vernon Davis, the tight end.

If it wasn't for our run, we would be dead, something the Ravens stuffed well in the bowl, not an easy feat.

Much respect here, I was in jaw dropping awe when I saw that trade. It just seemed so foolish for the Ravens.

[AVGWarhawk]

It was completely understood you were not being mean. :up: The Ravens offered Joe $120 mil. I don't think he is worth that. The other team members watched any type of increase in pay vanish with a swish of a pen. I can't blame them for leaving. So now we have a team of young players making less pay so the owner can afford Flacco. We will see where it goes. It will not go to the Super Bowl for a long time I can assure you that!

[Packlife]

Can't wait for the season to start, w/ the 9ers an Seahawks an I guess the Falcons getting all the attention my Packers can stay under the radar an snag a 5th Lomabrdi.

[soopaman2]

Any team would be a fool to discount Aaron Rodgers.

With all the attention on other teams the Pack is no longer "the hunted", they just may slide in there, it just depends on how well they upgraded defense and the run game, which were glaring holes last year for the Pack.

Good luck to you, I am a huge Rodgers fan. Great qb, and a down to earth kinda guy.

[August]

So long Tim Tebow. The Pats just released him.

[CaptainHaplo]

My Panthers cut the Pickle (thankfully!)
Bout time!

I hate to see Tim go - not because I am a fan of his play, but I appreciate his character. He will be in Oakland in a few days - 2 weeks on the outside.

I wonder how Neal feels about that....

If not Oakland then maybe Buffalo given that they just released their QB.

[CaptainHaplo]

If not Oakland then maybe Buffalo given that they just released their QB.

The Bills still have 3 on the roster:
Maneul, Tuel and Lewis

They still have to cut 2 more players to get to 53. I don't know that I see them cutting 3 just to make room for Tebow. Though they have an injured O lineman that may end up on PUP or IR.

Well the best of their QB lot is an undrafted rookie. Tebow might be a better choice.

They also have 8 defensive linemen currently on the roster which is two-three more than they were expected to run. That could be where the cuts come from along with one of the weaker qb backups.

Just a thought...

[Mr Quatro]

So long Tim Tebow. The Pats just released him.

Not officially ... that happens next Saturday when the team has to be down to what 53 players I think.

I would keep him ... 16 games is a long season ... the fans are a bit picky in New England though. Maybe they will stay silent ...

Someone will pick him up if not right away then during the regular season after someone gets hurt. Heaven forbid it should be the Denver Broncos or the NY Jets :haha:

I wish LA had a team ... they could go all the way with a guy like Tebow.

I know this is about the NFL, but that quarterback for Texas A&M number 2 sure looked good today. Number one draft pick if he stays healthy. I even think he's a junior no less.

[nikimcbee]

I know this is about the NFL, but that quarterback for Texas A&M number 2 sure looked good today. Number one draft pick if he stays healthy. I even think he's a junior no less.

He created quite a fuss on ESPN today with his "drama.":haha: They compared him to the Kardashians.:-?

[CaptainHaplo]

That cutdown had to happen today by 6 pm.

[nikimcbee]

D-Day is this Thursday for regular season. Any thoughts on the preseason?

There were no major injuries were there?

Seahawks looked sharp.

[eddie]

I thought this was crazy when I read it about NFL players going broke after they leave football!

• By the time they have been retired for two years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1153364/1/index.htm

[nikimcbee]

...and so it begins. AVG draws first blood.

[August]

Denver sure is kicking some Raven butt tonight.

[CaptainHaplo]

All I can say is Peyton Manning is now on my BFP list....

Best Fantasy Pick of the week if this keeps up!

[eddie]

A couple more TD passes by Manning and he will set an NFL record of most TD passes in one game!

[August]

Showboating can come with a price, right number 59? :)

[CaptainHaplo]

It does - but 7 touchdown passes in one game. That ties the NFL record - anyone think that he will go for 8?

[eddie]

Nope, he finished with 7. Heck of a job by Manning!

Spanked! Ravens looked good in the first half. Glad I went to bed after that. Sheesh....:shifty: Denver is a great team and only better this year with the addition of Welker. I like Manning. He is a Buick guy. :D Also a great QB.

Last year the Ravens beat them in sudden death OT. It was a tough game and a struggle to the end. With that in mind, it is not mystery why Denver put 49 on the board last night.

Going to be a nail biter of a season! :o

No comment on the Broncos Ravens except, that second half...Hard to tell if Peyton was awesome, or the Ravens defense was bad.

Not being cocky, more scientific, but the road in the NFC will come through either SF or Seattle.( I will quote this later in the thread, when I am right/ wrong)

The NFC west is back.:woot:

The easy answer? Yes. :yep:

Ravens have trouble protecting the pass.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Denver's O-Line gave Peyton lots of time and the addition of Welker if he can stay healthy, is huge . Welker like Manning has a great football IQ.

[RickC Sniper]

Who in the Subsim League had Peyton on their fantasy roster last night and what was his tally?

50+ points?

Ravens really looked gassed in the 4th quarter. Too many injuries on both these teams to really know what kind of teams they'll be this year.

[soopaman2]

IMHO Ravens killed themselves giving Flacco all the money and letting Boldin go.

Give up a great reciever to pay a lucky quarterback. Let us see how he does by himself.

Not complaining, we (49ers) paid a draft pick for Boldin. Cheap!

That would have been me. :salute:
The Black Cats really did well with only one player on the field. Peyton pulled in 54.64 points with his performance. With 7 Touchdowns and 462 yards passing, he outscored his projections (21.06) nicely!

Congrats, Haplo. :rock:

Clay is so classy.

Too bad Kaepernick is not a run first qb, like RG3 or Micheal Vick.

He has a great arm, and he has great recievers, a great running game (though not obvious in week one)

He is not a typical mobile quarterback, he is looking to throw first, his speed is a defense mechanism for the times his line crumbles or no one is open.

Clay Matthews is a punk. He hit him so far out of bounds, he should have been fined and ejected.

That so called running quarterback racked up 400 plus yards passing. (edit : just the threat of him running is enough to back off all out pass rushes)
49ers are going to cream the Seahawks... Mark it down :)

Don't jinx us!

In all seriousness the Seahawks are a good team, maybe the only team able to give the 49ers a run for the money this year.

Clay Matthews is a punk.

And a damned fine football player.

As long as he smashes people out of bounds... Fine him, he threatened Kaepernick earlier in the week.

Otherwise he (Kaepernick)) is too fast for his redneck ass.

Edit: Vick is good too, and he strangles dogs for fun.

[AVGWarhawk]

Clay is so classy.

All we hear about is RG3. What has he done that warrants the attention? Same for Vick. RG3 is running the field with a knee brace that apparently cause a stir. I don't get it. These two just are not interesting. Much the same is said about Flacco. He gets less attention then the both of them.

[soopaman2]

It took the 49ers to make it to the superbowl before anyone acknowledged them.

America is stuck on big names, like Rodgers, Manning (both of them) and Romo.


God forbid anyone acknowledge an up and comer.

Flacco, meh. I hate to bash him, but Tom Brady took a pay cut so the team could keep talent, Flacco took his money and Anquan Boldin had 200 yards plus in recieving yardage in week one for the 49ers.

People may not respect Kaepernick yet, but... (hahaha) you will. The kid got the divine 49er qb spark, Take it from a lifelong fan. Montana, Young, Kaepernick.:up:

He is well documented for what he said leading up to the game, he should not be surprised he got a reaction.
And Matthews did get a penalty for his actions. If it was that much of a cheap shot he would have been fined.

Heh, the NFL is the NFL, I suppose.:D
edit: the penalty was offset, because Joe Staley punched him. Kudos to the O-line.

My trashing comes from the fact ol Clay was unable to do what he wanted to do in the legal bounds.

He had to nail him as he was decellerating. Cowards act.

Kaep won, because he got up, and continued to defacate on that defense, with bullet passes and pinpoint accuracy.

2 years ago no one respected the 49ers, this year I fight the battle again.

Kaepernick is the second coming of Steve Young, or the father of football, Joe Montana.
He may even be better. Has a stronger arm, is cool under pressure (as proved in the super bowl.) He runs too, but does not depend on running to make plays, he is an arm first guy.

This guy has a gift, The manning brothers, Rodgers, Aikman, Young, a gift!

I spent many years miserable. 5 win years... Being mocked for liking them (in the NY metro region it is a sin to like anyone but the Giants Jets or Philly)

Joke of the league...

It's one game, and at 34 - 28 it was a close one at that. Kaepernick has a ways to go before he is crowned in terms of Young and especially Montana. But he has game for sure.

This weekend will be a great test for them in Seattle, Seattle has no real weak spots, and that stadium is the best 12th man in the NFL.

Very much right, sir. But he has the right stuff IMHO.

Seattle is a nasty team, a team I fear as a fan, we have to play them twice.

Russel Wilson is a great QB, very fast on his feet, great arm and good instinct, Marshawn Lynch is a great RB. The team is coached well, and Seattle/SF is a nasty rivalry, kinda like Yankees/ Red Sox except with violence.

I am not getting ahead of myself, and seattle is the only team that truly worries me. They got the right stuff.

I used to live out there, and they have a beautiful stadium, across from Kings field I think they called it, what an experience, I watched my Niners lose, yet still had a ball. damn that was awhile ago, 2002 maybe... Geez

I even took in a Mariners Yankee game or two, Seattle is a cool city.

I see your Pack easily beating the Skins. That wet field RG3 will be more tentative to run. He does not impress me as a pocket passer.

Seattles 12th man?

Kaep is still young, and Harbaugh lets his qbs call audibles if they read something, very hard to call audibles in that noise. Which leads to delay of game penalties. You saw it in the first half of the Super Bowl last year.

This game is going to dictate the shape of the toughest division in the NFC.

49er faithful!

I thought the game last week against the Pack was a great game. I never felt secure, knowing that Aaron Rodgers is so damn good. Everyone loves a shootout, 3-0 games stink.
Seeya in the Playoffs, cheesehead :salute:

reallydedpoet is in paradise as we speak.

The Cheeseheads are so far ahead I turned on the Philly game.

Philly just tied it up, Jackson up the sideline.

They seemed asleep earlier, now they are waking up.

(edit) Fox Just cut out of the Packers game, and went to Dallas KC, as it is more competitive.

Cool I get to watch Alex Smith, I kinda got a softspot for him, he is a good man, and solid qb.

Goooo Alex!

Grats to Joe Flacco, and his wife, for the birth of a baby boy shortly before game time.

Second week in a row the 49er defense failed to show up. We didn't get lucky this time.

I am not so much disgusted, just disappointed.

Good job to Seattle, I knew it was going to be tough, last time we played there we lost by 40 points.

I almost feel a sense of pride, considering the NFC west was the worst division in the league for awhile, now it is quite strong.

Forty-Niner Faithful!

[fred8615]

Poor Tampa Bay. 2nd week in a row they lost on a last second field goal. :/\\!!

Course this week it was to the Saints, so I'm happy. :rock:

[soopaman2]

First thing,

How about Alex Smith and the KC chiefs?!

Good for him.:yeah:

Alex is a good egg.

I was watching NFL network this morning, and Michael Irvin and Warren Sapp were doing a segment, the question came up about the worst division.

Afc North, or NFC East.

Sapp laid in a potshot "I know you are biased because you were a lifelong cowboy", Irvin got visibly irritated.

He even interrupted in one of those no interrupt, timed segments. (you get 30 seconds to debate your point.)

It was tense, and very much real. I cannot describe how Irvins face changed.

Watching 2 legends tussle in retirement is pleasing to me.:D

(edit: Irvin was more on the side of right in the debate, the AFC north is way worse.)

NFC west is king now! Accept it!

Our guys did pretty well today. The offense is starting to get it together.

I'm not bashing the guy by any means...but, perhaps Kaepernick is not quite what he seems? A little less bicep kissing and concentrating on the play might serve him well. I would also think he relies on the run(him doing the running) to much and has forgotten the rest of the plays. Opposing teams are defending against his running. I suspect the coach ask that he does not run. He will get nailed one of these plays. The 49er will have a multi-million dollar bench warmer. I watched the entire game and honestly do not know what the answer is for Kaepernick. If it continues I would suspect he will be seated.


And again, I'm not undermining what he has done and can do. But I know the feeling of having your QB beat to death by others that say he sucks and if it were not for defense the team would not go anywhere. Flacco gets zero respect.

[fred8615]

Guess who's quietly 3-0 so far. :hmmm:










Go ahead, guess. I'll wait. :hmm2:




















THE SAINTS!!!!! :rock::rock::rock:

Oh, and the last time they started 3-0? 2009. And we all know how that ended. :D:D:D

[ReallyDedPoet]

Kaepernick really needs to run a bit more. He is scared of catching an RG3.



He needs to get comfortable throwing into tight coverages, threading the needle so to speak. Also, he has gone way from Boldin, the most physical receiver on his team. Throw him the ball even in coverage and he wins most of the battles.

Rough week for the Pack, still early though. I would rather fight and claw our way through the season vs. what we did a few years ago and get bounced from the playoffs early. It's all about finding our stride, getting the team healthy and preparing for the long haul of an NFL Season.....

I agree 100%. Having your team intact for the playoffs is almost as important as making the playoffs itself.

I like the way my Denver team is playing even though they are missing so many key guys. They have given up way too many points, but they have stuffed the run very well. (nice surprise) Getting Champ and Von Miller back should help them better defend the pass. (I can hope)

The Packers I see the last game as a hiccup but the Bears in that division also look good. The 49ers might have some issues and I don't think they are as strong as last year. Baltimore has rebounded strong after their opening day loss.
The Giants.....geeze, what happened to those guys?????
Biggest surprise so far.....Kansas City.

I enjoyed the game last night. It's a chess match between Manning and the defence every game, and he is winning.
It's scary what they could do if they stay healthy and get all their players back.

Yeah the Giants situation is pretty shocking, they seem to be totally out of sync.

Be interesting to see how the Pats hold up when they face tougher competition. Their game this weekend should be interesting as it is in Atlanta, and the Falcons are looking to rebound from their loss on the weekend.

Seattle vs. Houston should be one to watch as well as will Miami vs. New Orleans.

Hopefully the pack will be re-energized coming off the bye, plus the defence really needs Burnett back, he calls all of their plays and has been missed.

Glad to see the 49ers woke up for this one.

As much pomp and circumstance I put on our rejuvenated offense, the benchmark of this team is defense.

Something not seen until last night.

Green bay. Was a Shootout, we got lucky that the Packers defense is not so good.

Seattle, a hell of a well rounded team. Will be a problem for not only us, but anyone who has to play them.
I can even see them winning the Super Bowl this year, they really are a great team.


Colts...I had to swallow down a little vomit at this loss, a complete offensive, and defensive meltdown.

Last night.

Great game for the Red and Gold! Defense and Rushing, the benchmark of the 49ers recent success, showed up.

Kaep did his job, didn't make any mistakes, made the plays when he had to.

Very encouraging, as I had flashbacks of 4 years ago....:wah:

Not bad without 2 pro bowl players on our defense. (Aldon Smith and Patrick Willis)

Great pick Whitner, pure hustle!

49er's needed to get a W on the board. Each game is huge if you want to be in post season play. For that reason alone I can't stand a short season. Baseball is 100 plus games. A lot can happen. However, football being so physical we can't expect 100 plus games. As a result, ever game counts big.

I think the short season is what makes it so exciting.

I seen stats that Football has long taken over baseball as Americas Pastime.

I mean the physicality of the game combined with a short off season.

Superbowl in February, training camp starts in late July.

Truly modern day gladiators. :salute:

My favorite sport, by far.

[fred8615]

Glad to see the 49ers woke up for this one.
Don't get too excited. It was the Rams after all. :D

Ex Niner, and a man I have alot of respect, and gratitude for, Alex Smith, is doing pretty OK, against the Giants.

A double happy face in my book, I hate the Giants, and really like Alex Smith.

17-7 going into the 4th quarter, KC seems to have the momentum.

4-0 Chiefs?

Whooda thunk it?

[soopaman2]

24-7 Chiefs, 5 minutes left.

:O:

[Mr Quatro]

I can't believe how bad Miami played last night ... :oops:

I thought they were suppose to be good due to beating Atlanta last week, but then Seattle lucks out and beats Atlanta too.

Glad I don't bet money ... too early to tell who is good with all of these 4-0 teams, but I sure like New England and Denver in the AFC playoffs and New Orleans and Seattle in the NFC playoff's.

So far that is :yep:

[soopaman2]

Not a huge fan of the NY Giants. In fact I have a seething hate for them.

So until a little after 4pm eastern time, I am an Eagles fan. (13-7 Philly, as of publication)

I am even willing to root for Vick dog murderer to not break his neck and be paralyzed like I usually do.

I blame you!:D

3 int's in the 4th quarter for the golden boy Eli...

0-5 Giants, after having to listen to the locals here proclaim Eli's godliness for beating Tom Brady twice...

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. (pun intended)

36-21, philly with 4:15 left.


:har::har::har:

Go niners! Make me a 2 time happy boy today

Edit: Eli melts down when he is losing, the sourpuss face he gets, and the mistakes he makes. He has nothing on his brother. I am watching him give up, intentional grounding, then a sack he did not try to avoid...

Booooooooo

Giants...*spit*

Giants need some Viagra, the little blue pill for big blue!:haha: Limp bastards.

That game last nite, niners, Texans.

How bad is a team when you lose 34 to 3, (trust me, the niners could have ran the score up easily) when the opposing qb (Kaepernick) is 6-15 with 113 yards?

(edit: Niners had great D....With alot of starters missing from our d-line, injuries, one of them is in rehab, for being a drunk...Bad stuff on our defense)

The niners started throwing in third stringers, it was silly.

Schaub is so done in Texas...

3 picks, sloppy fumble, even sloppier, stupid penalties. I look at the game stats, and unless I watched it (which I did) I cannot fathom how The texans got destroyed.

Great last 2 weeks for the niners, we came out pissed after getting destroyed by Seattle.

WHOS GOT IT BETTER THAN US....NOOOOOOBODY!:up:

OK maybe Denver....:D

[AVGWarhawk]

Yeah, but no matter what happens to the Giants, no one can take those two awesome Super Bowls away from them. :D

I was referring to Soopaman and the similar feelings exhibited towards Kaepernick. God like and all. Pride goeth before the fall. I rest my case concerning post #183. :hmmm:

Soopa
0-5 Giants, after having to listen to the locals here proclaim Eli's godliness for beating Tom Brady twice...

So just that, no matter what happens the Giants have two in the bag.

I hear the same around here and the Steelers. We (the Ravens) can beat them but we constantly get quoted on the the times the Steelers have gone to the Super Bowl. Pride goeth before that fall as well. It seems it is happening this season.

I like Kaep alot, I even, in my post acknowledged he did next to nothing, in this game. I acknowledge he has alot to prove, but he got the right stuff IMHO, great poise in the super bowl as an inexperienced player. I also acknowledged a few times in this thread and last years thread, that he has his problems, he has trouble in crowd noise, and runs too much. He fixed the running thing this year, as he is much more of a passer.

You gonna beat on me this whole thread?

I'll keep answering, I am a hardheaded sort.:O:

And since we are talking about Legacy wins, last year was the first 49er loss in the Bowl.

We are 5-1 in the big one.

Screw Eli, and I like the guy. He is a mopey younger brother, in every way.


He got sacked, he spiked the ball to the ground, (I watched the game) and he gave up for the next quarter and a half, he had that sour look on his face, and he just crapped the bed.

I am sorry, I cannot respect him, he is not his brother.

(edit: Denver is going all the way. Damn the Neck Surgeries, full speed ahead, Payton!)

[AVGWarhawk]

Let's face it Soopa....you want to have Kaepernick's children. :O: :har::O: You hard headed sort.

I'll take Eli. He is proven material. :yep:

[soopaman2]

Let's face it Soopa....you want to have Kaepernick's children. :O: :har::O: You hard headed sort.

I'll take Eli. He is proven material. :yep:


Nah, Too many tatoos, plus the fact that niether of us has a uterus, nor ovaries.:har:

My opinion on Eli is he is too easily rattled, and I am comparing him to his brother (Archie Mannings other son), not Kaep. I cannot even compare the two, Eli has the stars on his lapel.

Kaep has alot to learn, I acknowledge that. Ya see his stats for last nites game? He did nothing, not sure if that is good or bad, as the score was atrociously one sided.

Denver is just nasty, everyone was hating on Payton, after the multiple neck surgeries, he is killing the critics.

[AVGWarhawk]

Kaep has alot to learn, I acknowledge that. Ya see his stats for last nites game? He did nothing, not sure if that is good or bad, as the score was atrociously one sided.

Every QB has a unproductive game. Flacco has a slew of them. :yep: The press has been anything but nice to Joe since he signed on with the Ravens. Joe could throw for 300 yards and the press would say they don't like the color of his shoes.

Joe is the patsy for the Ravens losing Ray Lewis etc.

I critisized the contract he was given, but understand why. A battle hardened, tough qb is hard to come by in this modern league. As much as it pains me, he outplayed my beloved Niners stifling defense, even despite the comeback pressure, he endured, that stands for something.


On a side note , look at Alex Smith in KC...:D

So happy for him, KC is my AFC team, and the team I root for when the Niners drop the next 9 games.:haha:

(expect the worst and hope for the best, my sports philosophy)

[AVGWarhawk]

Joe has always been a patsy. For years we hear if it was not for our defense we would never win. Sadly, the offense needs to score a few to win. So I don't understand the logic of only the defense as being the part of the puzzle that is only needed to win. :hmmm: I agree that Flacco's contract was crazy. But, he asked and they said ok. Can't blame him. We miss Ray on the field but the D is doing just fine. Time for some young players to find their way to play every game and become great players.

[nikimcbee]

This was the weekend for everyone to crash.


At least the vikes didn't choke.:haha:

Is it just me, or is everybody running the hurry-up, QB read option? So, a few weeks ago, ESPN radio had one word to describe Chunky Chip...."Exposed", "Over-paid":haha: I think these NFL defenses are going to figure him out fast and he'll be booed back to the college ranks.:know:

[fred8615]

Checklist for the weekend:

1. LSU wins - Check.
2. Cowboys lose - Check (though I would've preferred a clown stomping, Romo being Romo at the end is almost as good :D).
3. Tom Brady's attempt to break Drew Brees' consecutive TD record stopped - Check (Bengals are now my new #2 favorite team :salute:).
4. Saints 5-0 -

Check!!!!! :rock::woot::yeah::yep::sunny::Kaleun_Applaud::Kal eun_Salute::Kaleun_Wink:

[soopaman2]

Gotta give it to the saints.

Here comes Shawn Payton from a stupid suspension, and here come Nawlins!

Brees is a a great qb, San Diego messed up in not using him properly.

[AVGWarhawk]

Who dat?

[fred8615]

Brees is a a great qb, San Diego messed up in not using him properly.
Back when ESPN still had forums, there were a lot of S.D. fans who maintained that they were right to keep Rivers over Brees, in spite of him winning a Super Bowl, and Rivers barely sniffing the playoffs since. :hmmm:

http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Peyton-Manning-Fakes-Out-The-Cameraman-And-The-4874156.php


Manning calling his own number for a naked bootleg. He made the decision based on the defense and his own teammates didn't know.

Didn't Joe Namath do this once late in his career and it worked because on his rickety old knees, it was ridiculous to do, which is why it worked?

Also:
Late in this game with a tied game.... on a 3rd and a half yard on the two yard line, Peyton turned around and told Knowshon Moreno to get the first down but don't score. Moreno argued, but Peyton insisted that they cannot give Dallas the ball back with time left. Knowshon got the first down, did not score, and they ran out the clock before kicking the winning field goal with no time left.

Gotta think getting burned by Flacco in the playoffs last year had something to do with him asking Moreno to do this.

When you watch the replay you can tell his teammates, especially the back who did not get the ball do a collective wtf, until they realized what Manning was doing.

Just another example of Garrett being asleep at the wheel. The Cowboys line should have parted like the Red Sea and tried to get Moreno's momentum to carry him across the line. Try something at least, they seemed clueless.

[soopaman2]

My 49ers played well.

Great defense. (4 takeaways, and a safety after a tipped interception) Rushing attack, what you expect from the modern 49ers.

Vernon Davis with 180 yds recieving seems to be over his injuries, Kaep, played much better.

But I have to admit, our defense won this game, hopefully when we get Mario Manningham and Micheal Crabtree back, we can be more multi dimensional than we have been.

Boldin can only do so much (he is strong, and talented, but undersized), and Vernon Davis, (who is a tight end, and blocks some plays) can only do so much.


I hear trade rumors about getting Hakeem Nicks from the Giants in a trade, but with what he makes, and the fact he will be gone next year it is a bad bad move.

[nikimcbee]

Why did the Jets even go to overtime against the Pats? Pats are losing that allure.

Unsportsmanlike conduct on a missed field goal? Good job NE, what the heck happened to them?

Automatic first down...
I wish this game would get over, I am trying to watch my niners on FOX.:D

(edit: 4:30 pm eastern, Jets defeat the Pats.)

[soopaman2]

Colin Kaepernick is letting his legs out against the Titans D.

Kaep is letting his legs do some talking this week, exploiting a weak run defense, 10-0 niners. As I type, my red and gold picked off Jake Locker.

Defense, run game, check....That is the niners I am used to.
:up:

Welcome back boys, glad to seeya!

Who's got it better than us?!?

[soopaman2]

24-0, total emasculating domination in 3 quarters.

I got a nasty habit of still calling them the Oilers, I bet they miss Warren Moon. Meh Titans.

We are still a force to be reckoned with.

I likes Favre's response on the NFL channel.

"It took me twenty years to figure out I didn't like getting hit."

He won't be back - he is looking at a first ballot HOF entry. No reason to delay that.

4-3 for my Panthers - now our schedule gets tougher. Falcons are no pushover, plus the defending SB champs, the Patriots and the Saints 2x...

We will find out if we are for real or not soon!

I see the Pats have started the militia defense today. Drop the muskets and run.:dead:

Good day Sunday.

Dallas lost (and I got to watch it!!). :har:

Failclowns lost. :D

Saints won. :rock::rock::rock:

[Mr Quatro]

The Washington Redskins were ahead by 14 points in the third quarter which just goes to prove that Denver can be beaten by a better team especially the KC Chiefs.

Now that's going to be a great game :yep:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice to see the Pack ground and pound : )

At 9-0 KC is well on their way.

Twas a very good day. Panthers beat a division rival, the Jets showed how to beat the 'Aints, and we pulled within one game of the division.

Yeah, but the Panthers have two killer games coming next. Don't count on that NFC South crown just yet.

[AVGWarhawk]

Go Ravens!

back to practice camp...you need it. :shifty:

A few points for me today on this NFL subject.


After a sloppy start my niners are looking great, not as good as I would like, but, hey, I cannot complain as a fan.

Holy crap, the Jets!

Much more holier of a defacation, the KC Chiefs.

I say this mid season, so no one can call me a front runner or some stuff...

If the niners do not make it, I am all in on KC. Go Alex Smith.

He is showing the Niners up big time. I love the guy. Let me go? I go 9 and 0. (poet and didn't know it, if read in the right cadence)

He caught hellfire for 8 years, Not worthy of the number one pick, overrated etc.


Though Alex does owe coach Harbaugh a year of his salary for turning him into a quarterback.:D

[CaptainHaplo]

The 49ers played a strong game today. That was a smash mouth, hard hitting defensive game. My Panthers took it, but no one should discount the 49ers defense.

[AVGWarhawk]

Ravens pulled it out in OT. I was at the game. Watched the tying catch after a mass of players kept the hail Mary ball aloft to be caught in the endzone not but 50 from me. I was banging my head. :/\\!!

Glad we won because the Ravens would be on life support if we had not.

Like I said, this is going to be one great game ... I bet (except I don't bet) that KC wins in the end.

too bad Manning got hurt on the next to last play in San Diego yesterday :down:

[RickC Sniper]

Manning getting dinged has been the way of things the last three games.
The Denver piecemeal O-line hasn't been able to protect him.

I expect the Chiefs to get hits on him next week, and if so, he may not last long.

[fred8615]

I love a good beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys! :yep: :yep: :yep:






BUT IT'S TEN TIMES BETTER WHEN THE SAINTS ARE THE ONES DOING IT!!! :har: :haha::rotfl2:

[nikimcbee]

Thought about going to the Seahawks-Queens game, but it is sold out.:shifty: Couch, here I come. No three hour drive for me.

[Mr Quatro]

Sunday is the big game of the season Denver vs Kansas City NBC 8pm est :o

[CaptainHaplo]

I see the Pats have started the militia defense today. Drop the muskets and run.:dead:


I would greatly appreciate if they would be so kind as to do the same again this week on Monday Night. I just don't think it will happen.

[fred8615]

Well it was closer than it should've been (17 points off of 3 turnovers will do that), but a Saints win is a Saints win! :woot:

In other news, Atlanta really sucks now. I would like to say how sorry I feel for them and their fans...






...but I promised my mother I wouldn't tell lies like that anymore! :har:

[August]

We wuz robbed! :wah:

[CaptainHaplo]

Hey, its only right that the Panthers got one call - the refs were giving a LOT of them to the Pats.

[Armistead]

Go Panthers.....

I love calling NC home......

{it was the right call}:yeah::hmmm::har:

[nikimcbee]

Taste the rainbow.

[fred8615]

I call shenanigans!! Tom Brady can lead a last second drive to beat the Saints, but not the Panthers??

Shenanigans! Shenanigans!!

:D

[fred8615]

Saints guarantee at very least a winning season last night, and guarantee the Failclowns a losing one.

Mere words cannot express the joy I'm feeling right now. :sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny::sunny:

and just think the Falcons were just one game away from going to the super bowl last year :o
