NFL 2013 Season Thread

They are similar... both have explosive arms, but both try to make plays happen, even when they aren't there.

At least Cutler seems to make his mistakes early in the game... He's been pretty good in crunch time.
Romo seems to self destruct when the game is on the line.

For that reason, I like Cutler better than Romo.

I certainly miss the Cutler Denver days. Those were good days.

Wow, the Steelers are still alive going into the final week.

They need a Miami loss vs the Jets, a Baltimore loss vs the Bengals, a Chargers loss vs the Chiefs and a win vs the Brownies.

Chargers need the Miami Loss, and a Baltimore loss and to beat the Chiefs at home.

[Al B. Sure!]

Stafford is the new Tony Romo while Tony Romo actually came up very clutch for once.

I believe I said earlier that he only chokes for maximum choking potential. Next week is a playoff game for the Eagles/Cowboys in the true sense. Head to head, winner gets a home playoff game too.

I have $100 riding on the Eagles being the NFC champs. A complete gamble but the 1:25 odds were appealing with some throw-away money.

[Ben Kenobi]

Edit. NFC champs and not NFC east champs? That's, not a great bet at 25:1. Odds are closer to about 125:1.

[Al B. Sure!]

Was unaware of the new Pro Bowl format:

It's time to vote for the best players, regardless of conference. The NFL's top two vote-getters on offense and defense become team captains for Deion Sanders' team and Jerry Rice's team. In a fantasy draft style setting, the captains pick from the voted all-stars to form the teams. And when the stars are realigned, it's teammate versus teammate in the new Pro Bowl: Unconferenced.

Interesting format.

[Ming]

Just makes a meaningless game even more meaningless...
At least before you could cheer for your Conference... (But that's assuming you even bothered to watch)

[Ben Kenobi]

Interesting format.

That is interesting, picking players fantasy style.

NFC as in going to the Super Bowl. I think you are underestimating the Eagles. They're as good as the Saints, Seahawks, and Panthers.

[Ming]

They sure look good against the Bears at the moment.... sigh...

[Berzerker]

where do miami and baltimore play?

you win $2500?

[Al B. Sure!]

you win $2500?

Yeah if they go to the Super Bowl. Long shot but I felt the odds were good considering it was immediately after getting destroyed by the Vikes.
