The NFL 2012 Thread!

That was a pretty sad performance all around by Atlanta in the second half, I thought. Yeah, they had a shot to win at the end, but they shouldn’t have been in that situation at all. Just like last week, and this time the dice roll didn’t favor them. You keep putting yourself in losing situations with turnovers and poor defensive play, and you’re gonna lose…just a matter of when.

Definitely going to be avoid-the-media time for the next two weeks. It’ll be Colin-this, Colin-that followed by either Ray Lewis/Coaching brothers or omg Tom Brady so dreamy. Tony Gonzales all over the news, I might have enjoyed a bit.

That official can tell his grandkids “Did I ever tell you about the time I tackled Tom Brady in the AFC championship game?”.

edit:

Thongsy:

Kaep isn’t a rookie.

Thanks for the correction. I was lumping him in with Wilson, Luck, RGIII, etc but I’m not sure why I got that idea.

That is one inaccurate pic.

gameoverman · 2013-01-20T18:07:48.000Z

Well, that was brutal.

Pretty much everyone considers him a rookie until they get corrected, don’t sweat it.

Also, GO RAVENS CONTINUE TO SHOCK AND AMAZE ME BY KICKING THE HOODIES ASS

Bernard Pollard really doesn’t like Patriots.

gameoverman · 2013-01-20T18:15:08.000Z

It has indeed turned into an ass kicking, Flacco seems to have made the jump to elite status. Tom Brady might be in danger of moving to “does he still have it?” status.

robsam · 2013-01-20T18:17:30.000Z

I love sad face crowd shots of New England fans. SHOW ME MORE SAD FACES CBS

gameoverman · 2013-01-20T18:23:09.000Z

I can’t recall the last time I saw Tom Brady look this discombobulated in such a big game. I have to hand it to the Raven defense, older or not they really still play hard football.

Mr_Bismarck · 2013-01-20T18:33:26.000Z

And this is without a genuine pass rush. He doesn’t have an hour back there, but he’s not under intense pressure either. He’s just… off.

I can’t remember a game where he looked this shaky.

Ugh. Harbowl.

Alan Dunkin:

Fans here are major bandwagon jumpers. You won’t believe how many people said they were die-hard Giants fans after the 2010 World Series.

These things come naturally of course, but with the SF teams (Oakland teams not so much, they wear their pride on their sleeves) just seems to happen a lot more often, and hence, more disgusting.

Well, that happens everywhere a team wins; it is no worse in SF than anywhere else I’ve been.

I am going to take a guess that you moved to SF and the increase in fan support for teams you don’t root for is just more glaring.

Prepare to get very, very tired of the surname Harbaugh in the coming weeks.

robsam · 2013-01-20T18:49:18.000Z

The Hoodie takes the Walk of Shame…Awesome

Major_Malphunktion · 2013-01-20T18:52:16.000Z

Well, good luck Niners…man do I hate the Ravens.
2 weeks of the Ray Lewis love fest…woopie can’t wait.

Along with the Kaepernick hype machine and Ray Lewis Retirement Experience.

TimJames · 2013-01-20T18:56:21.000Z

Yeah I can’t do anymore Harbaughs this season. I hope the Super Bowl party we go to is good at least.

As I just said, it actually is worse here.
