2013/2014 NFL Thread: Attack of the Matts

[Hush]

Depending how the season goes the first 7 weeks, week 8's Rams/Hawks game could be epic.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Percy Harvin out 3-4 months with hip surgery.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I hate to laugh at injuries, but f*** it. Harvin is a dick and I hate the Seahawks. I guess Russel Wilson will have to hope for some more atrocious calls this year so he can score TDs.

 

[Erzengel]

Actually I'd love if Seattle and if like Cincinnati made it. Then I could just watch the Super Bowl and not have a vested interest in it.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, sometimes those Super Bowls are the best. The worst though is when a team that you absolutely HATE makes the Super Bowl and then they win.

Which is what happened for me last year.

And why I literally ignored EVERYTHING related to football for months afterward.

 

[Matt]

Sadly, Cinci probaby will never be more than a one and done team until both Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown are out. Mike Brown flies under the radar because he isn't as outspoken as Jerry Jones is or as Al Davis was, but he eclipses both in terms of sheer incompetence.

I felt dirty rooting for the Ravens last year, but I had to, because Jim Harbaugh and the team that his management and culture have built in San Fran are obnoxious.

 

[Erzengel]

ESPN is reporting that the NFL will eliminate the traditional AFC-NFC Pro Bowl and replace it with a "fantasy-like draft."

 

[steintym]

Hmmm ... might be an interesting concept. The only problem is I don't know how it makes the game itself any more competitive.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I find John Harbaugh to be just as bad though, if not worse. Granted, I'm certainly biased, but I've watched John carry on like a baby on the sidelines whenever a call doesn't go his way enough to hate the bastard. And he seems to encourage his players to play as dirty as possible. It's a dirty game to begin with, but the Ravens take it to another level. That's why it was so laughable last year when they were complaining about the Eagles' dirty play.

 

[jacobed]

I'd say the Ravens are probably a bit dirtier players but the 49ers are such babies and that definitely stems from Harbaugh who just whines about every single thing

 

[Green Goblin]

Apparently Liverpool buying Torres back?

I've never personally saw John fall to pieces the way Jim does. Not saying it's never happened, but all the gifs and videos that I see is usually just Jim.

Sorry, "be passionate".

With team captains being Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders.

The last thing the NFL needs is to stroke Sanders' ego even further by naming his team "Team Deion Sanders" and have his face as the helmet logo.

I hope they start having the Pro Bowl in different cities again.

Agreed 100%.

This is true.

You's a traitor.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

ESPN is reporting that the NFL will eliminate the traditional AFC-NFC Pro Bowl and replace it with a "fantasy-like draft."

And people laughed at the NHL for doing this 3 years ago...

 

[runawayboulder]

They should play the game during draft week or something. Get it away from the season when guys are burnt out or hurt.

 

[MrMaooz]

The pro bowl is stupid!

Well anyways, the Colts got rid of Robert Griffin. (the other one)

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Sup 'Dower?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Anybody going to any games this season? Just got tickets for the Carolina/Buffalo game to watch my Panthers play!

 

[Warhammer]

If EJ Manuel turns out well, that will be a great game.

 

[Duke]

Bad news for the 49ers. Chris Culler appears lost for the season as he tears his ACL.

[Warhammer]

That gives Asomugha all the initiative he needs to play better this season. What is up with all these injuries to play makers this off-season?
