Who's Ready For Some FOOTBALL 2012/2013 Season!

Originally posted by CoMtnRider So, we have normal refs back, but how furious are GB fans going to be if they miss the playoffs by a single game???   Sad that one team had to get screwed like that to get the NFL to pull their heads out of the as$es

LOL. So would it be as bad if it happened to a non playoff team?

Not sure what dream world you're living in.. but that's just not gonna happen! With the exception to their rookie kicker, that team is solid. Fortunately they shouldn't have to rely on the kicker to make a GW field goal tonight.

Players are taught in peewee football to knock that shit down. While the call may have been bad, it was the player's ultimate responsibility to make sure that ball did not get caught. So if the Pack misses the playoffs by a game, you can't put all the blame on the refs. FUNDAMENTALS!

^^^ unfortunately the Browns are 12-point road dogs, and we're getting prepared to take a beating.  But I still have my cribbs jersey on in the office today.  Go Browns!

Good to hear that order will be restored in week 4. Who knows what else could've happened had they not come to an agreement. I don't fully blame the refs on the packers loss but they def do deserve some of the blame. But what's done is done.

^^^ Yeah Buffalo completely stacked the box against us and T.Rich was unable to get anything going.  When we tried to go over the top, Weeds wasn't able to hit the deep ball even though we had a couple good changes.  Only hope is to open up the run/west coast short passing game with the vertical pass tonight, but egghhh . . . prolly not likely from what I've seen so far.-b 

Im pretty sure the threat of teams not showing up and or walking off from the game was enough to make this finally happen. Well lets just pretend the season started now

Thats why some people say that the ravens have a shot at winning it this year. There looking real good 

They definitely look solid. But hell if i won't say that Atlantas defense isn't fierce. That is one fun team to watch. I like baltimore too, anything to take the NE attention off the Jets/Pats. The seachickens can only win by fluke, so I'll be waiting a while before I'll see them in the playoffs again lol

Well the lingerie league refs can go back to their league now.....oh wait, they were fired from that league.  So glad the normal shitty refs are back, I never thought I'd be glad to have those clowns back in charge.

Another great finish, the Browns hung in there with their dropped passes woes continuing. Once again a QB puts up big numbers against the Ravens defense. I think they're still an AFC power but have transitioned to relying more heavily on the offense in the absence of Sugss.

That was a heck of a lot better game than I anticipated! I was at a hockey game, but kept running out to the bar to check the score. Even able to take a couple shots into the end zone at the finish.. good TV :).
The Ravens defense (especially the ends/outside LBs) has really taken a drop in performance recently. But any time ya got Ray Lewis staring you down.. it's gotta make ya feel a bit queasy lol.

Glad we're talking about the game itself, and not how the refs did.

Now its about complaining about players and coaches.

There are bad calls or even blown calls..then there are calls that are not according to the rules because the refs don't even know the rules. I'd take the refs that actually know the rules that just happen to miss something.

Greg Little usually makes those acrobatic catches....and then drops the easy ones

Will be great to watch Atlanta and Carolina go at it, hopefully Cam can have a decent game and the offenses light it up

49ers killed it!  That game was over long ago.

Saints with no wins yet? Their post season hopes are almost over.

Noooo! Spread on my Parlay card was +2 Giants. All ties lose. Two tries for the giants to win but they choked. So close to $100.

Regular refs had some iffy calls/non-calls this weekend. But overall, well done.

So close to $100.    Fairly long kick that Tynes missed at the end, but I was pretty surprised that it didn't get there.  I wouldn't have been surprised at all if he had completely shanked it or pulled it left (like he did when the Eagles called a TO) but I was shocked when it came up short.  From the angle on TV I just assumed it was good.  That sucked.

I was in the kitchen finishing dinner when this game was wrapping up, but I had been in the living room when the Gaint's got the ball back. Saw them march up field, then retrned to the kitchen and listened to the sportscasters.. the audio came, "its up.... and it's short!" and im like "Did I just hear that?!".. Checked the final score and sure enough I did. Nevertheless, I picked Philly to win, so i wasn't all too displeased :). Wound up 12-2 with tonight's game coming for my nflPicks league. I've got the Cowboys tonight, but so do the other 2 people I'm tied with. Might make a change, just for the chance to outright win the week.
