NFL Thread VII: Cue the Mid-Season Slide

**Clowes Line** · 12-10-2012, 08:09 PM

I know it's still early, but what did I say? The Pats are just too much of a dominant force EVERY year.

**Clowes Line** · 12-10-2012, 08:24 PM

*cough* blowout *cough*

LeetchisGod · 12-10-2012, 08:29 PM

Apparently the only hope for beating the Pats is the G-men.

I don't normally quote myself, but when I do, I make sure I was ****ing right.

I've said all year long that I'd love to see a Denver - San Fran Superbowl. I think that would be sick.

for all the praise they got as a great defensive team, the texans have had a real hard time stopping big time offenses. the packers and now the patriots have scored 42 points on them. the only one that can seem to get to the quarterback is watt.

Cynical TyranT · 12-10-2012, 10:47 PM

I live in Houston. I hate it. I hate their fans... I cant believe I actually enjoyed watching that asskicking... cuz these bandriders and frontrunners dont deserve to win with their overrated squad in a crap division. You see their schedule this year? Soft. Im actually GLAD the Pats just put that beating down.

NYGRYK21 · 12-10-2012, 11:37 PM

The Patriots are God's team, but Eli is his bookie.

Fitzy · 12-12-2012, 10:18 AM

In watching replays of the game that New Orleans punter is actually a pretty good athlete. He showed some wheels and tackling ability.

Bob Richards · 12-12-2012, 10:50 AM

ESPN just sent me a text alert. Apparently Bradshaw sprained his knee and could be out against Atlanta.

Coughlin talked about it in this morning's press conference. Doesn't sound promising for Sunday.

Just realized how predictable the rest of this Giants season is going to be.

Week 17 is going to be a win and you're in, lose and you're out game.

Week 17 is against the Eagles. By that point they'll probably be 4-11 or 5-10.

I don't even want to type out what I'm thinking, but I think you're all pretty well-aware of it as well...

Heard on NFL AM that he's also battling a sore throat. Battling feet problems, a sprained knee, and flu-like symptoms.

Either Wilson goes berserk all over Atlanta like he did with NO, or Eli is going to have to air it out 40-50X.

**HatTrick Swayze** · 12-14-2012, 10:27 AM

The fan is reporting Prince is likely out as well.

Who's gonna cover Julio again?

Hosley is strictly slot, they'll look at Rolle and Tryon. Likely Tryon.

We're light on corners so I expect to see a true 3 safety set often against Gonzalez, Julio, and the rest.

Won't be easy.

Either that or there is some fake ass power who was somehow given the nickname LT despite not being even half the player Taylor was.

Tomlinson was a great RB. Nowhere near the talent level of LT.

Fitzy · 12-14-2012, 11:55 AM

No Amukamara, Phillips, or Sash.

So you'll see Stevie Brown and Will Hill starting at safety.

Our secondary is just about totally depleted. Better hope no one gets inured in game.

GWOW · 12-14-2012, 05:18 PM

The only hope is that the Giants pass rush wakes the hell up and dominated the Falcons' weak O-line.

Faxius · 12-14-2012, 08:49 PM

The Falcons are worse than the Giants at stopping the run, so hopefully Wilson will take advantage, assuming Bradshaw can't start.

Single tear rolls down cheek

No matter. I believe in the powers of Stevie Wonder and Michael Boley to hold the Defense.

White Plains Batman · 12-15-2012, 01:02 PM

We'll see how banged up Roddy White is. If he's having issues, that will help the Giants depleted secondary worry about Jones.

Giants need to have long offensive TOPs to win this game so Wilson needs to be effective. Too many three and outs and this will turn into shootout mode.

30theking · 12-15-2012, 01:22 PM

Giants will have S.H.E.S. (Sandy Hook Elementary School) on the back of their helmets tomorrow. That's nice of them.
