The NFL 2011 Thread

Is that true? Despite my posting the above rule, I’m not sure how it’s calculated.

Indy played Jacksonville twice… so for calculations purposes, do they count Jacksonville’s record twice or just once? If the former, then Indy is still pretty far “ahead” pretty much because they didn’t have to play good teams like Green Bay or San Francisco twice. If repeats are only counted once, then my real-quick addition shows the Vikings getting the nod.

Some are suggesting the refs threw the game to hurt Indy’s chances for Andrew Luck.

Fixed.

That’s retarded.

Robert_Sharp · 2011-12-23T08:30:23.000Z

Yeah, that’s silly. Houston is a playoff team trying to get a first round bye. They would be idiots to intentionally throw that away to try to stop Indy from drafting a guy that hasn’t proven anything in the NFL (whatever his college career seems to show). That just didn’t happen. Houston is suffering because of their QB situation. It’s a shame because this could have been their year to go far, and I was happy for them (believe it or not).

I wonder how much of Houston’s problems the last two weeks are due to the absence of Wade Phillips, who went on leave and had some surgery? Seems like an odd coincidence that their defense hasn’t played at the same level since. IIRC, he is supposed to be back this week, though.

I give serious credence to that theory. Exhibit A: that stupid last drive of Indy’s. Yes it was kept on life support in the red zone by flags, but to get there was a complete implosion by the Texans D. It looked like the old Texans D.

Shadarr · 2011-12-23T11:23:24.000Z

The personal foul for a helmet to helmet hit when the guy was clearly just trying to play the ball, and the roughing the passer call for getting knocked down into the QB were both ridiculous. I don’t think the refs were trying to fix anything, I think they’re just idiots. It’s funny because earlier in the game there was a much more clear-cut low hit on a QB (don’t remember which one) that wasn’t called, and we were discussing what constitutes a low hit, and then they go and call that.

Zuwadza · 2011-12-24T12:06:23.000Z

Miami’s defense seems to have New England’s number called for the most part.

Woolen_Horde · 2011-12-24T12:18:00.000Z

Oh god, you don’t want to watch what happens to Adrian Peterson’s knee.

mkozlows · 2011-12-24T12:47:08.000Z

You do, however, want to watch Tim Tebow throw two pick-sixes in the span of a minute late in the 4th quarter. #hejustwins

(The later INT in the end zone was a nice encore, if a bit anti-climactic.)

CLWheeljack · 2011-12-24T12:47:22.000Z

Wow. Tebow is… not doing well.

Clearly, Jesus is preoccupied today.

He blew that game wide open! Tebow magic!

And for the game I’m watching…Skins-Vikings…Rex has a chance to bring the Redskins down for a tie with about 50 seconds left. Yeah. Game over, indeed.

Zuwadza · 2011-12-24T13:13:16.000Z

Tebow is making up for all the interceptions he hasn’t had in the rest of the season.

Edit: I don’t know how much money Lechler and Seabass make, but they deserve more.

Lorini · 2011-12-24T13:17:06.000Z

Tebow? (homemade; these are my dogs)

Wow, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many passes batted down in a game as in the Jets/Giants game today.

Lorini · 2011-12-24T13:25:52.000Z

Raiders won and DEN lost, all is good today :). And how many INT’s did Tebow throw again? I can’t hear that number too many times.

Only two more than Palmer!

I guess Jesus was getting his birthday party going and forgot about poor Tebow. He really threw FOUR FUCKING INT’s?

But only two of them were returned for TDs, so it’s not as bad as it sounds.
