2012 NFL Thread

lol, the two games Jones points to are:

a loss at Seattle to a team that went undefeated at home and started on fire due to a blocked punt, and Seattle didn't do much on offense
a loss to Chicago where Romo threw five INTs, including 2 TAINTs (one of which was early in the game just like the punt against Seattle)

Chicago had three points almost right before halftime before that, what a clown

How broken is the Pro Bowl process when Griffin had to get hurt for Brees, who led the league in yards and TDs, to go?

I don't know anyone who takes the probowl seriously.

The players don't, even. I'm sure shit like that doesn't help.

lol.

I'm too lazy to dig deep here, but teams with 5+ TOs were 2-17 in 2012. One of the wins was Atlanta against Arizona, and the other was Eagles against Browns.

So yea, blame the defense for that game Jerruh.

That was the WR game. Dumbass Dez made the wrong read on a pick six, and then Ogletree dropped a pass in the red zone into a defender's arms. The other three INTs came after the game was basically out of hand, and Romo had to force balls on every down. The defense had nothing to do with the loss. In fact, the Bears' offense was unable to move the ball until a garbage time TD to Marshall in the 4th.

edit: I still want to know how the fucking special teams coach is still employed. I pin the Seattle (blocked punt for a TD and a fumbled kickoff) and Baltimore (kickoff return TD when the Cowboys had all the momentum) losses on him at a minimum. I think there was another punt block in there I am forgetting too.

Damn I'm good. That's the equivalent of digging up Bill Walsh to run a west coast offense and would be great news.

Hopefully he can figure out the zone-read option better than he did at USC because Oregon clowned them.

I know, I know, I am joking...kinda

Kiffin's a done deal. Now this all makes sense. Ryan didn't get fired for performance as much as he is being upgraded.

Eh, I thought they were a lock for the NFC East this year and you know. They need to break this habit of underachieving before I buy in. Just like ATL in the playoffs.
