The 2013 NFL Season Thread

Man RGIII looks rusty. I guess not participating in training camp didn't do him any good. This Chip Kelly Eagles team looks fast and explosive. The Eagles and Cowboys might be the teams to beat in the NFC East.

Yeah they are really worried about his health and stability. His number one weapon was his running ability and that is all but gone now. Even if he had it, they have to play it safe, he really messed up last season.

It's ONE GAME.

GG Cleveland Browns. You put up a good fight, but the inexperience of your back up Quarterback really showed when the pressure was put on in the 4th quarter.

I have to say that I am very proud of the Lions this year. We really got some good finds like the Undrafted tight end, Fauria who got 3 catches and 3 TDs this game. Not to mention he earned Detroit some charity money a few games back by doing one of Jimmy Fallon's endzone dances.

We are fighting toe to toe with the Bears and our division is such a tight race. If we come out on top...wow, what growth.

I still think the Packers are the class of the North..

Another legendary win for Brady. I like how the entire AP was sleeping on the the Patriots after a 4-1 start. Ah, what's that smell? It smells a lot like winning.

Also, not a fan of Sean Payton. I hope this one sticks in his craw.

(Would have liked to see the Jags win, too, but can't have everything I guess.)

The amount of flopping in the NFL this season is ridiculous. Any time that time is an issue, down go the players. Roger Goodell needs to go David Stern on this nonsense.

I wish the Dolphins would say "Martin and Incognito have become too much of a distraction and both players will no longer be a part of our organization in any form". I know news like this gives ESPN a financial hard on, but for Christ's sake the Dolphins need to wash their hands of this mess on concentrate on football and not the social culture of locker rooms. But if losing to the Buccs doesn't open their eyes, nothing will.

The Detroit Lions is a team I hate to love. As a Bears fan, I should hate them, but damned if Matthew Stafford isn't my favorite player in the league. He won me over when after dislocating his shoulder he refused to leave the field and netted the Lions a W. He continues to amaze me with his toughness, leadership, and decisions while on the turf.

The Panthers are keeping things interesting, but I can't see Cam Newton leading the NORTH Carolina Panthers further than maybe one playoff win. People are calling them the hottest team in football at the moment, regardless of what the Chiefs, Broncos, and Saints are doing. I see the Panthers as an incomplete team that relies too heavily on Steve Smith catching everything and has a defense that could really use Peppers back.

My sleeper team as of now would be the Chargers. Sure, they aren't the same Chargers years back with an explosive offense with LT making defenses look foolish, but Rivers still holds the team together.

As for my Bears...seems like right now the only thing they have going for them is the frigid weather.

Hey, at least they're not the Falcons.

[Jmustang1968]

Right now the Panthers are just relying on their defense which has been the main catalyst for their string of wins. Cam hasn't had to do much. Carolina has one of the best front 7s right now.

Steve Smith isn't near as much of a factor this year and has been shut down in games. Olson has been there as well. They are winning by controlling the clock and ball wih a decent ground game and stopping the run. I think they are 28th in passing.

Whereas Brandon Marshall makes it really easy to not like the Bears.
