NFL Discussion - 2013 Season

Redskins. Why do they bother? They could have won that game. They blew it AGAIN.

Yay for Denver winning again, though! At least I have one team worth rooting for.

 

If you need me I'll be in a drunken coma. Just doesn't seem fair after yesterday.

 

Mel Tucker is an embarrassment.

 

You were saying?

I honestly almost don't want to see them get home-field in the playoffs after that. I can't imagine a better way to say goodbye to Candlestick. Well. . . maybe as champions.

 

Great finish. I don't care about either of these teams, but I was actually pulling for the Falcons just so Arizona would still have a chance to make the playoffs (I think Arizona deserves it this year, and it's a travesty they may lose out).

My girlfriend wanted to switch off the game, but I insisted on finishing it out, and were we rewarded! That was a great on-side kick, and an unreal pick-6. Gotta feel for the Falcons fans last night. But what a way for Candlestick to go out.

 

My lack of knowledge of the rules of football is showing here, but: Does the 49ers' victory mean there could be postseason games at the Stick? Does it hold up the date of demolition (assuming there was one)?

 

In order:
Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in common games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin toss

 

I'm finding myself cheering for the Dolphins and Cardinals in this final weekend. I'd love to see some long suffering teams at least get a taste of the playoffs.

Who wants to guess he somehow leads them to victory over the Eagles this week and a deep playoff run, further throwing Tony Romo's "legacy" into question?

How does it feel to be one of Tyler Thigpen, John Skelton, David Carr and Caleb Hanie? None of them are superstars, but the Cowboys pulled Kitna out of teaching math instead of one these guys.

 

Kitna is not starting though. Kyle Orton will get the nod. The only reason they brought in Kitna is because he filled in for Romo during the 2010 season when Romo missed 10 games. He knows the offense better than anyone else.

As for Romo's legacy, it will have to wait for next year but you will never see me begging to trade a QB with 31 TD's 10 Int's and a QB rating of 96.7. People need to understand that franchise QB's don't grow on trees.

 

The Packers will have Rodgers back for the Bears game. Glad to have him back- I just hope he isn't too rusty.

 

Tony Romo had season ending back surgery. Let the Kyle Orton playoff run commence! Although, the way to the Super Bowl should now be clear for the Cowboys since Romo is the one who's been blowing games in December.

 

Kyle Orton lost his job to Tim Tebow. Let that sink in.

 

I've been a Broncos' fan all my life. I'm well aware of Orton's body of work.

 

Well in the case of these two teams, maybe short term suffering.

 

I hope he is. The Bears need all the help they can get to be able to lose the first playoff game.
