OFFICIAL NFL 2012 week 2 thread

[Arkaign]

Still think the Steelers will win.

Really? Did you see them last week? They're looking old and slow, definitely a team on the decline for now.

I think the Jets had the best game of the their year last week. Maybe I'll be proved wrong.

But I do agree the Steelers are on a decline now.

honestly, I thought Benson looked supremely mediocre, running the ball, but the Bears' run defense was surprisingly poor and gave him some lanes to run.

You gotta remember, unless he's running in pretty much a straight line, Benson can't make a cut for shit. He's a straight line power runner that needs good blockers opening up holes for him. That's why he has one of the worst YPC of all the current active RBs out there. This is who he's always been.

I'm mighty late on this but I love nothing more than seeing Jay Cutler get sacked or throw a pick. Both those things happen all the time, so, great TV

He's just a punk as he always has been and always will be. He won one game against a really bad Colts team and got all cocky and shot his mouth off regarding the packers DBs. Then he got embarrassed by the Pack which is exactly what he had coming to him. Of course he blames all of his teammates. He couldn't yell at Chicago fans to "shut up" this time anyways. Once a dick, always a dick. He'll never get to a Superbowl. I also dislike Brandon Marshall a lot (woman abuser) and he's dropping everything, so also, yay!

I like the defensive side of the Bears though, so I'm a little sad for those guys.

I said this in another forum and the more I see Cutler, the more convinced I am it is true. He is the 2010s version of Jeff George -- a freakish physical talent with no mental toughness.

Though the Bears would have likely still won, the Colts defense was kicking Cutler's ass big time until Freeney went out with an injury and then the defense returned to its normal self.

The problem is someone once told Cutler he has talent as a QB and his arm was going to win the NFL some day. The problem is, he has the brains of a wet noodle.

I mean ffs, when you scramble out of the pocket and are getting chased down and there's nobody in front of you for a good 10 yards, you DON'T FUCKING STOP AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE to pick whichever receiver is the least double-covered and throw it into the waiting safety's arms. You tuck and run.

I watched him probably half a dozen times in the GB game get flushed, stop at the line and either wait for a receiver that never got open (sack) or throw it into double or triple coverage (int) where he could have easily picked up between 5 to 10 yards with his legs without taking a hit. Cutler has absolutely zero QB presence and awareness outside of the pocket.

One of the replacement refs for today's saints panthers game is a saints fan who openly flaunted his allegiance on facebook. The nfl was unaware of this until they were notified by espn and the ref was replaced. :

any of you fantasy football people know if Pierre Garcon is playing today?

 

[fustercluck]

are you freddy for some rootball

not many great matchups today. Tampa Bay/Giants might be good, Jets@Steelers. I'll be watching...EVERYTHING. NFL Redzone ftw!

Sep 16 Though Garcon wants to run and test out his foot prior to Sunday's game against the Rams, he is unlikely to play, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

looks like he is still fragile like he was with the colts. thanx fustercluck

 

[zokudu]

Go Eagles! Don't throw 4 INTs this week and I will be happy.

 

[BlackTigers]

Living in northeast Ohio is so depressing.

Yes, yes it is.

pick # 1 for vick

 

[Gunslinger08]

Eagles can't get the running game going at all. Line isn't getting seals on the edge.

 

[BUTCH1]

Bad news for Pats, Hernandez is out with an ankle injury, had to be helped off the field..

 

[benzylic]

My chiefs suck. CJ Spiller running all over the defense.

Jets Giants and bills on TV here

[Gunslinger08]

Eagles players need to relax. Pointless personal foul penalties. It amazes me that grown men can act so childish.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Eagles backup RB just failed on the most basic thing you can do as a runner - taking the ball from the QB. Fail.

 

[JujuFish]

21-0 Buffalo! It's amazing how much different the day seems when you're up 21-0 instead of down 21-0 like last week.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Might get to stop watching the Eagles early today. Called that dropped pass on 3rd and 1 immediately. So predictable. 21-7 coming up before the half, then another Ravens score on the first drive of the 2nd half.

/looks left and right through the eyeslits

If the Bucs keep this up I might have to take off the paper bag for the second half.

Watch a stream, although it gets frustrating when it drops out for 5-10 seconds at a time..

Or the shitty quality, unless there is some well kept secret of hd streams I've never discovered.

In other news the Chiefs look just as bad as they did last year, and coincidentally the chiefs got blown out in the first two games last year as well.
