[Coolwhip]

ugh mondays are boring again

It's okay. i understand that you're a bear hater.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

All chiefs games are all I care about. Sad that there are no home primetime games for us this year so I won't get to go to a game this year

 

[SharkAttack]

I like this NFL schedule. Good marque games by just glancing at it.

As a Lions fan, I'm not sure if this schedule for them is good or not. It's about 50/50 at the beginning with beatable teams (Rams, Vikings,) but difficult against tough teams like @San Fransisco and @Chicago. The Titans game on the road is 50/50 They are on the road a lot early on, but finish at home 5 out of their last 7 games.

Either way, I'm happy with the schedule, and can't wait for some FOOTBALL!!!!

Steelers vs. Ravens is also a must see and I always look forward to this matchup.

 

[theeboredone]

Holy ****, 49ers schedule is balls hard.

Vs Packers, Detroit, Jets, Patriots, Giants, Saints, and Chicago? Nearly half their schedule is vs playoff expected/super bowl caliber teams.

I know people like to sleep on the NFC West teams, but I do expect the Seahawks and Cardinals to pose a challenge as usual.

 

[MASAHIROx]

GO GIANTS
BIG BLUE WREAKING CREW

i also like the jets...i guess
and LOVE the Texans. such a sick team.


NFC east is gonna be highly entertaining this year.
as always

FANTASY DREAM TEAM

That could actually happen...

Eli
Adrian Peterson
Demarco Murry
Jordy Nelson
Victor Cruz/ Hakeem the cream Nicks
GRON GRON GRON/ or Jimmy either is A MUST
Matt Prater < sleeper long distance kicker
Texans D

 

[Peeze]

My vikes 6-10/7-9 this year.

 

[MASAHIROx]

Adrian Peterson is ranked 17th! for fantasy 2012 by the guys at nfl.com

wtf I'm deff picking him up.
ryan matthews and reggie bush ranked higher?! dafuq??

i would rank peterson 5th best

 

[M@v]

We get to welcome Peyton back to the nfl, with some "hugs" by our defense. ;D. We also get to give the Broncos some payback, and Tebow the following week, although he won't be starting by then. I give it 4 weeks or so before he starts.

Also wtf @ Steelers vs Ravens week 11 and week 13. Really? Twice in 3 weeks? 2nd stringers from both teams may have to play week 13.

Going to try to go to Steelers Eagles with berserker, and then try to go to Steelers Ravens primetime. That **** would be sooooooooo hype.


Also....for the second time ever I am embarassed of my team...the first time being the blowout against the ravens opening weekend this year.

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories...ook-to-1934-for-new-throwback-uniform-631819/

The thing is they'll probably wear these at the ravens game :facedesk: I think the Steelers now own the worst throwback/alternate uniform to ever grace an nfl field.....seriously these are worse than the neon green seattle wore that one year.

 

[mood4food77]

the giants schedule doesn't actually look so bad

i have the giants going 17-0 and then losing the super bowl to the patriots

He tore his ACL mid/late in the season. He may not even return to start the season, and even then...he will have trouble getting back to form.

 

[Isatis]

wat @ NFL

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Think you missed one there.

To add, yeah, I think the Patriots will be 1st seed AFC again. I don't see anyone on their schedule they'd lose to other than Ravens, Texans, and 49ers, and 49ers have the greatest chance IMO.

 

[Coolwhip]

It's truly funny how everyone is meat riding the 49ers cause they had one unexpected season no one saw coming. Let's all amid it, no one didn't even think san fran would go that far last season. Now the pressure is on them to repeat & reach super sunday, other NFC teams (My bears included) will have something to say.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I don't think they're amazing except their D, it's quite obvious they're one of the many teams in this league that have to rely on a really good running back to get anything going. I still see NFC West as weakest division overall, but each team is still better than others.

 

[Cherished Doll]

Omg did you see the steelers uniform? ? They look like Bees lol

And I'd like to add worse than the ****ty greenbay throwbacks as well.

 

[Cherished Doll]

Oops?

Bored would like to have a word with you about the 49ers. Despite his own misgivings about his team last season.

I gotta get on that hype train you're riding on with the Bears. No big changes to their line-up, and they have the momentum of a championship behind them; things are looking pretty good.

Smooth Criminal

 

[M@v]

What championship you speak of?

Also they are arguably in the toughest division in football(the other contender for that is AFC north)

 

[theeboredone]

I don't think they're amazing except their D, it's quite obvious they're one of the many teams in this league that have to rely on a really good running back to get anything going. I still see NFC West as weakest division overall, but each team is still better than others.

You clearly did not watch the games if you think they relied on just their RB for their success. All defensive players are returning. Best linebacker tandem in the LEAGUE. All Pro Corner in Carlos Rogers. Their second strength being SPECIAL TEAMS. Best starting field position of any team last year. They had Redzone issues, but David Akers is a clutch/great FG kicker.

Their offense can't honestly get worse. Remember, no training camp last year, Josh Morgan lost early in the season, Kyle Williams was coming off a concussion, and Ted Ginn couldn't go last year in the NFC Championship. They essentially lost their second strength in Special Teams. WR was a big weakness for them (one catch from a WR vs Giants). So what do they do? Why not add Marion Manningham and Randy Moss? Randy Moss is the big iffy card, but I don't see him being worse than Braylon Edwards. So your starting WRs are Moss, Manningham, and Crabtree. Oh yeah, in case Gore does get hurt, we got Kendal Hunter AND Brandon Jacobs.

Oh, and in case you forgot. Alex Smith was the second QB behind ELI MANNING to lead 4th quarter comebacks. The guy for the most part is clutch when it counts. With a training camp under his belt, and finally to continue learning the same offense, I expect him to put up better numbers (more INTs, but overall better.)

 

[Reizilla]

Looking like need is a good way to put that.

 

[Coolwhip]

Super bowl. I also can see a bears/packers NFC title game rematch.
I like how our new general manager sign 8 new players with pro/super bowl experience. We also got one of top wide outs in the game. (Brandon Marshall)

And i can see michael floyd or coples fall to us at #19

 

[Reizilla]

What? Did you just say the Bears won the Superbowl? And played the Packers in the NFC title game?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

All Pro Corner in Carlos Rogers. Their second strength being SPECIAL TEAMS. Best starting field position of any team last year. They had Redzone issues, but David Akers is a clutch/great FG kicker.

I meant most of their offense, thought I was clear their defense got a lot of the job done.

 

[Coolwhip]

I didn't say da bears won the SB (Yet), should've won it back in 06, but we had a scrub-tier QB playing that game. (Rex Grossman) We were also missing two other star defensive players at that time. imo, peyton didn't beat da bears, rex beat da bears.

Bears/Packers NFC title game rematch will happen again.

EDIT: I'm sorry. Did i just read that the 49ers has the best linebacker tandem in the league?! You probably don't know who brain urlacher & lance briggs is.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I meant the Giants. Derp.

[Deleted member]

deal with it. the colts beat you with the run. no one saw that one coming.

are the 49ers going to unleash aldon smith next year? i hope get him out of the sub-packages and let him play full time

i wonder if justin smith can maintain his play. hes gettin a lil old...

 

[mood4food77]

the giants theoretically could go 17-0, likelyhood of it happening....0%

i'm saying they go 12-4, 11-5 at worst, losing to the eagles, cowboys, 49ers, and packers (atlanta the toss up)

eli owns the AFC, especially the steelers

Let's travel back in time....(February 4, 2007)

(You're right) The bears was more focus against the pass then the run. as a defensive player, being out on the field more then your offensive teammates can and will tired you out, doesn't matter if you're the best defensive team on super sunday.

oh & that game was still pretty close then you imagine.
