NFL '13 SEASON THREAD

[kevsim1]

As far as I can tell, there are only 4 teams mathematically eliminated: Houston, Washington, Tampa and Atlanta. Not bad.

Scratch that. Houston can make it. As far as I can tell though, Washington, Tampa and Atlanta are out.

Psh, like they have an actual, realistic chance of getting in. They have to be lucky the AFC is such a crapshoot this season to mathematically still be in it at 2-10.

Are they really still alive? The Ravens have a four game lead on them with four games left and hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.

I guess it would come down to three-plus-way tiebreakers.

Three-way!!! No sir. 11-way tie at 6-12 gives the Texans the 6 spot.

...indeed

[infrared41]

In any case, when it comes to being an awful QB, we can all agree that Weeden is almost in the same league as Weinke, right?

Is that really fair? I'm comparing the situations, not the players, but wouldn't that be what people were saying about Steve Young in Tampa? With the right coaching staff & scheme, Weeden might be a serviceable starter or better. And in Cleveland, Russell Wilson might be the guy getting benched for Jason Campbell.

You don't watch many Browns games, do you?

[Kramerica Industries]

Give Weeden some credit - at least he knows how important it is to get the ball to Josh Gordon. Kinda like McCown getting the ball to Jeffery on Sunday (damn, what a breakout season for him; love that kid).

Man, who else is excited for Thursday Night Football this week? What a dandy we have coming up.

No one's forcing you to watch these games.

[Kramerica Industries]

he-he, I'm not watching that game. I have no plans to; I was only trying to put an amusing spin on a 2-10 vs. 3-9 game being in primetime.

[infrared41]

Hell, I know how important it is to get the ball to Josh Gordon. That does not make me a good NFL QB. That aside, if I said Joe Montana was a great QB, you'd come along and post 23 paragraphs telling me how wrong I am. My guess is if I said "black", your Spidey senses would go off and you'd drop whatever you were doing just to post "white."

[Kramerica Industries]

Nah, I'd give you 16 paragraphs about why you're wrong. 23 is reserved for Michael Jordan (or maybe Devin Hester).

Oh, dammit, I just played right into your trick.

I was also being sardonic about Weeden/Gordon, you know, like finding the ash of gold within the large pit of dung, but it didn't translate well in written form. For whatever reason, my sense of humor is incredibly rigid. Take the voice out of it, and everything sounds incredibly super-serious. It's almost like an internet-exclusive form of Aspergers.

But I'd still be wrong, right?

[HedleyLamarr]

Not Aspergers again.....

Not Aspergers again.....

This place has 24,000+ members and of that 24,000, I think there's only about 40 of us who don't have Asperger's.

Can't possibly see any other alternative.

Yeah, they're called the Majestic XI.....

[Billy B]

Speaking of the Browns, they just signed former Bears backup Caleb Hanie. If neither of their concussed quarterbacks can play, it'll be Hanie or Alex Tanney starting this week.

[CS85]

Doesn't matter what the hell the Browns do this year. They fleeced the Colts out of a first round pick, have a solid coach, a defense on the verge of breaking out, and an offense that's a couple cogs away from being competitive.
