Support NeoGAF

[BaltimoreLarry]

I hope you don't expect me to reciprocate the love. Ray Rice broke my heart in the 2009 playoffs, and I will hate him and your organization forever til the day I die.

You seem like a nice guy, though, nothing against you personally.

No need for reciprocity. I will only the support the Pats when they play the Steelers. Steelers are the top of my Hate Hierarchy.

Top 5

1. Steelers
2. 49ers
3. Redskins
4. Colts ( never forget)
5. Pats

 

[Dutch Gronk]

We'll just get rid of the Secondary altogether and play something I'd like to call Line Coverage. Put eleven fat and strong linemen on or close to the LOS, kinda like this:

No one will be able to get by!!!

I hope we draft S Kenny Tate from Maryland next year, because with a secondary like this one we're never gonna beat good teams like the Packers.

Edit : Plus Tate can rush the passer! So two-for-one!

He plays linebacker now, is currently injured and out for the season.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

He plays linebacker now, is currently injured and out for the season.

He looked horrible at LB, so I hope he just goes back to the safety position + the injury just lowers his draft stock which really improves the chances of Belichick picking him.

Let me have my dreams.

 

[cajunator]

McCourty and Arrington on the outside, with Molden in the slot. And if Dowling ever returns he will take Arrington's place and Arrington will move inside.

So basically nobody then.

You are a disturbed individual.

We gave you the division in 2006! It isn't our fault that your team finds new ways to choke in the playoffs.

Every decent American should have the Pats as their most hated team.

 

[beast786]

Fun stats today on the Lions third down passing, courtesy of mlive.

Thanks.

I actually think Mo is a better runner for every day down. But best is a passing and big run threat. I cant see best as every down back. I hope they do a lot of 1-2 with best and Mo

I thought it was only natural that the most hated team played within your divison. Seems like your the one "disturbed individual" in here.

Final injury report for Sunday:

Giants New York Giants
CB Prince Amukamara has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins

Likely limited in his knowledge of the defense. Though he's been having some good practices on the scout team.

MikeGarafolo Mike Garafolo
DE Justin Tuck (groin/neck) and OL Stacy Andrews (back) are listed as questionable. Hynoski listed as doubtful. 72 (Osi), 27 (Jacobs), 59 (Boley) and 76 (Snee) are probable. #nyg

Y.A. Tittle was at Giants practice today. Had some discussions with Eli and spent some time with the team. God it'll be nice to get Tuck back.

I thought it was only natural that the most hated team played within your divison.

Yep, my list isn't terribly diverse.

1. Eagles
2. Eagles
3. Eagles
4. Cowboys
5. Redkins

Looks like Fitz got a new contract.

@mortreport Chris Mortensen
#Bills & QB Ryan Fitzpatrick finalizing new contract today -$59 million over 6 years; $24m guaranteed; $33 million in 1st 3 yrs

Looks like Fitz got a new contract.

Holy shit! Fitz got paid. Guess buffalo thinks hes their guy for the long haul.

 

[beast786]

Final injury report for Sunday:

how is CB Prince Amukamara doing with you guys. Lots of lions fan wanted him.

 

[bionic77]

Ravens are my second most hated team.

They are simply paroled criminals masquerading as a professional football team. The Patriots are the representatives of Satan himself and take precedence in my hatred.

Too bad Harrison isn't playing. Would have loved to have seen him get in a few good hits on Tammy.

 

[Futurevoid]

Pretty nice contract. Good for Fitz.

Not doing much right now, unfortunately. He broke his foot during training camp and only returned to practice this week. It will be a few weeks before he really starts to contribute. He's had plenty of time to learn the defense on paper but he needs to put it on the field in practice.

 

[JaMarco]

Too bad Harrison isn't playing. Would have loved to have seen him get in a few good hits on Tammy.

I don't think he even breathed on Brady last year.

 

[bionic77]

Lets stop talking about the Pittsburgh against the Pats. Its a well known fact that the Steelers struggle against soulless creatures of Satan.

Obviously we don't have the caliber qb of a Sanchez or Flacco that is required to humiliate the Pats at home in the playoffs. Hopefully Ben can lower his game to get to that level on Sunday and we can all enjoy a nice afternoon of the Patriots' bitter tears.

 

[Drakeon]

Anyone post the updates to the 506 maps?

all Northern California, all Oregon, all Washington, all Georgia; Birmingham, Huntsville and Dothan AL; Chattanooga TN: NO-STL to MIN-CAR
Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers FL: NO-STL to DET-DEN
Columbus OH: AZ-BAL to DET-DEN
San Antonio TX: WSH-BUF to NO-STL
Fresno CA, Rockford IL: DET-DEN to MIN-CAR

I'm super glad Fox switched from NO-STL to MIN-CAR for my area.

Especially for CB. Missing all the time . Probably needs to get back in FB shape also.

The current hate list is simple:

1. Ratbirds
2. Pats*

The Bungles used to be on there for a couple years, but they no longer deserve a spot. The Cowboys were on the list too, but since Romo, they're too funny to hate as much. But it's still a joy to watch them lose. Titans were on the list too because of greasy Jeff Fisher, but that's no longer an issue.

Really? They just won the division a couple years ago and are better than the Steelers this year. They're also younger.

Steelers are old news.

Wow, one winning season in 5 years, awesome. Their owner is still a cheapskate dope and their coach has choked the only two playoff games he's had. I like how excited everyone got because they fleeced the Raiders. As if Brown will do anything meaningful with those picks.

 

[crimzonflame]

I hear Justin Tuck is returning this week. Truth?

 

[hiryu]

4. Ohio teams set up nicely: At one point Monday night, Oct. 17, trade talks between Oakland and Cincinnati actually collapsed when the Bengals believed the Raiders had reneged on their offer of trading two high draft picks for Carson Palmer. When Bengals owner Mike Brown went to bed Monday night, the feeling within the organization was that the deal was a goner. But early Tuesday morning, Raiders coach Hue Jackson helped rekindle the talks, and a short time later the Raiders' offer and the trade were back on.

The two people who negotiated the details on the deal were Cincinnati executive vice president Katie Blackburn and Oakland chief executive Amy Trask, thought to be the first time that two women closed a trade of this magnitude. And when it was done, the ultimate cost of Palmer's Cincinnati holdout could be computed.

Palmer had been scheduled to make $11.5 million this season, and after agreeing to a $5 million pay cut in Oakland this season to play for the Raiders, he now will make $2.5 million the remainder of the season. So Palmer lost $9 million and Cincinnati added two prime picks.

Lost in the hoopla of Palmer ending his holdout and landing in Oakland is what is unfolding in Cincinnati and across Ohio. The Bengals have positioned themselves to compete for AFC North titles for plenty more seasons, and the Cleveland Browns are not far behind.

Each team has completed a blockbuster trade and each has stockpiled future draft picks. As it stands, the state of Ohio is scheduled to have four of the 32 first-round picks in the April draft -- two for the Bengals, two for the Browns. The Bengals also will have an additional first- or second-round pick in 2013 thanks to the Palmer trade while the Browns have an additional fourth-round pick in 2012 thanks to the Julio Jones trade.

Ohio is flush with picks and hope. And if the two franchises can connect in future drafts the way they did in the last draft, then life is going to become even more challenging for the Steelers and Ravens. Last April, Cincinnati drafted A.J. Green in Round 1 and Andy Dalton in Round 2. The Browns drafted defensive tackle Phillip Taylor in Round 1, and defensive end Jabaal Sheard and wide receiver Greg Little in Round 2. Each team hit on its picks, and each team is armed with more for the future.

Schefter is a smart man. I can't wait for the Steelers to go back to their form in the 80s and the ratbirds can join them.

 

[bluemax]

I would think after Luck Kellen Moore will be the best QB. Almost every Boise St game has been televised where I live this year, and he is so fucking accurate. Guy never seems to make a bad throw. There was so much talk about him not having a good year this season since they lost a bunch of receivers from last year, but it hasnt slowed him down at all.

I feel sorry for whatever team drafts Kellen Moore. The guy has a noodle arm, is a midget and hasn't even played a full season's worth of quality opponents in his entire 10 year college career.

Others I would avoid: Case Keenum, Landry Jones, Nick Foles

 

[Bowser]

Wow, one winning season in 5 years, awesome. Their owner is still a cheapskate dope and their coach has choked the only two playoff games he's had. I like how excited everyone got because they fleeced the Raiders. As if Brown will do anything meaningful with those picks.

They've had some good drafts man. Gresham, Shipley, Dunlap, Dalton and Green are all starters/heavy contributors. And they seem to do well with first rounders (Leon Hall, Jonathan Joseph, Green, etc.).

BTW, while looking up the Bengals draft classes, I just saw their upcoming schedule:

at SEA
at TEN
PIT
at BAL
CLE
at PIT

oof, that's a rough sked. Two road games before four straight divisional matchups

 

[goober]

Sam is what you call a goober.

Wait what

Big Al and Ocho are gonna have their best games this Sunday.

Boddens definitely the #3. He's been hurtin... so I expect him to be better.

 

[Futurevoid]

Update for Rams and Texans-Age:

mortreport Chris Mortensen
Coach Steve Spagnulo rules Sam Bradford out vs. Saints, A.J. Feely to start; Coach Gary Kubiak said Andre Johnson will not play vs. Jaguars

Typo or haven't you heard the news yet?

Will watch the game with friends on sunday for the first time, and with the way things are going, I expect a whole lotta expletives on my part.

 

[bionic77]

Supposedly Ben has close to a 100 rating and has throw 10 TDs and 2 INTs in his last 5 meetings with the Pats.

I have blocked out those games from memory but I wonder how much of those stats were accumulated in garbage time?

Anyways fuck the pats!

 

[Futurevoid]

Also an update for Saints fans:

AdamSchefter Adam Schefter
New Orleans RB Mark Ingram will not play Sunday and Saints will add RB Chris Ivory to the active roster.

May be a good time to add Ivory for any fantasy RB needy folks.

 

[Milchjon]

The Packers schedule is ridiculous. They'll have to really choke a game away to not go unbeaten in the regular season.

Thank God they don't play the Bills

I think they lose at SD and maybe to the Lions

Most would say it was garbage time last year, but our defense was just so bad... he lit us up all throughout the 4th quarter.

Ughh no... I'm just hearing this now. Normally first thing I do is check Mike Reiss twitter to get all the reports, but I didn't expect any new developments today.... guess I was wrong. I can't for the life of me understand this.

 

[Levyne]

The Packers schedule is ridiculous. They'll have to really choke a game away to not go unbeaten in the regular season.

And the NFC North plays the NFC West next year.

Also the AFC South, which could be 3 more easy ones depending on the Manning situation.

 

[bionic77]

The Packers schedule is ridiculous. They'll have to really choke a game away to not go unbeaten in the regular season.

They will probably rest their starters once they get to 11 win and wrap up homefield throughout the NFC. With their schedule and playing their backups there is a good chance they lose a game or two there at the end.

 

[yankeehater]

The Packers schedule is ridiculous. They'll have to really choke a game away to not go unbeaten in the regular season.

I was saying that shit before the season started. They are going 19-0, no doubt about it. Unless they rest starters.

Lions fans excited to be Booing Again

Here's the whole thing, its pretty short, but the Onion is always good.

DETROIT—After their team dropped its second-straight game Sunday, Detroit Lions fans told reporters they were thrilled to get back to booing the hapless franchise. "Coming to the games and being disappointed at everything on the field for three consecutive hours—this is what it means to be a Lions fan," said Detroit resident Jim Kesseler, who has followed the team and booed it all his life. "I don't know how to cheer, and I'm glad I never wasted my time learning." The fans also expressed relief that newcomers to the Lions bandwagon were already leaving after two losses, as longtime supporters of the team were uncomfortable interacting with people who had not seen the franchise they love humiliated year after year.

 

[Milchjon]

I was saying that shit before the season started. They are going 19-0, no doubt about it. Unless they rest starters.

You know, while they should go unbeaten in the regular season, I don't think they're invincible. They're probably still the best team right now, and of course they could go 19-0, but I'm not as certain as you are.

 

[bionic77]

I was saying that shit before the season started. They are going 19-0, no doubt about it. Unless they rest starters.

They will lose in the playoffs and will rest starters when they win the NFC. So no way are they getting to 19-0.

I will remind you that you also predicted that Kevin Kolb was Jesus come back to life and that McNabb was fat and washed up. So you are only batting .500 in your predictions (I will leave it up in the air as to which one you got right and which one you got wrong).

 

[Drakeon]

Nah, literally no one thought the giants had a shot at beating the Patriots in 07. There are no guarantees in the playoff.

 

[Striker]

Nah, literally no one thought the giants had a shot at beating the Patriots in 07. There are no guarantees in the playoff.

Sure there were people who did. The Pats should have lost at least 2-3 games that season, one against A.J. freakin' Feeley led Eagles.

 

[eznark]

They will lose in the playoffs and will rest starters when they win the NFC. So no way are they getting to 19-0.

I will remind you that you also predicted that Kevin Kolb was Jesus come back to life and that McNabb was fat and washed up. So you are only batting .500 in your predictions (I will leave it up in the air as to which one you got right and which one you got wrong).

Remember when you thought the Steelers would win the Super Bowl last year?

That was humorous.

 

[bionic77]

Mike Wallace is one game away from tying the NFL record for consecutive games with one catch of 40 yards. That game will be against the Pats who have the 2nd worst pass defense in the league.

Is it safe to say that along with Steelers domination this is another thing we are all positive is going to happen?
