NFL 2014 season

[Alferd Packer]

Well, I really don't think that was PI against the Bills, but I will say that safety was probably justified. Watkins was 'in the area' in that he was inside the stadium, but nothing more.

Detroit at Arizona is huge this week. Seattle and SF need some fucking help. After that 4 of their last 6 are against playoff teams, Seattle twice, Kansas City and SF, the other 2 games are at Atlanta and at St Louis, neither of which are cake walks by any stretch.

Seattle goes into KC this week which is going to be like the loudest game ever as KC fans are going to want to show Seattle what home field advantage really is. Alex Smith has always played Seattle well too.
After that their next six are Arizona, SF, Philly, SF, Arizona, St Louis. Not an easy stretch at fucking all and everyone brings their A game against the Champs no matter what time of year it is or how far out of the playoffs they may be.

Wild Card wise, we beat both Philly and Dallas already so we win any tie breaker with Wild Cards against the NFC East if it comes down to one of them. As for Green Bay and Detroit, I only see them both losing maybe two each, which puts the Lions at 12-4 and the Pack at 11-5. We didn't play either of them so it's down to wins and losses which at 5-4 and my best case of 6-1 puts us at 11-5 tied with the Pack. The thing is, Arizona needs to only win three to match what I think our best will be. If they win 4 I think they get the division. The best news for us is that of Seattle's last 7, only 3 are at home and those are vs Arizona, SF and St Louis, all super tough division games that are going to have huge implications on not just seeding, but actually getting into the playoffs. They could very well lose one of their "given" home games. The bad news about Seattle is that they have to win one less game than we do to get to 11-5.

Still though, if the Pack does well it's probably going to be SEA and GB/DET who we are going to have to beat out in vying for the Wild Card spots. I think Philly wins the East and goes 12-4 which leaves Dallas who I think goes 4-2 leaving them at 11-5 along with SF and then that handy win over them in the first game of the season is fucking GOLDEN.

If we go 11-5 (6-1) with the loss at Seattle and Seattle goes 4-3 like I think and lose to who I think they will lose to, they will still have a better division record than us at 4-2, but hopefully it won't matter with them at 10-6 and us at 11-5. Of course that 6-1 is REALLY optimistic of me.

Really with the Giants, Washington and Oakland on our schedule, I think we actually have the best shot at going 6-1 over the rest of the season out of the NFC West or, if we are again REALLY lucky and Smith and Willis get back into it strong and fast and are productive, 7-0 and that win out you are hoping for Hammer.

Smokin' a bowl for the 49's even though I hear malcontents like Hav are fans.

[Elfdart]

In the last three games against NFL teams, the Chargers were 0-3; against the Raiders they're 2-0. With the Rams, Niners, Chiefs, and Donkeys coming up, I can see the 2014 season crashing in flames.

Squeaking by the Raiders is like barely winning the Special Olympics: You may have won but you're still retarded.

[Havok]

Hahahaha enjoy it now Elfdart, eventually the Raiders will be good again.

[Havok]

Fuck. Well Wildcard it is.

[Havok]

Who gets 5 INTs and only wins by 6? NOOOOBOD... oh wait. We do.

And christ, Borland is making a case for DROY at this point.
Started 3 games...
63 Tackles, 2 INTs, 1 Sack, 5 PDF. and he has 6 games to go. Assuming he keeps up his average of about 14-15 tackles a game, that's like 147 tackles in less than 2/3 of a season. Dude's a mah-cheen!

Love seeing when he knifes into the backfield to bring down the RB for a loss. And agreed on being a DROY contender, I'm not sure who his competition would be at this point, but he's been turning heads the last three weeks, so if he keeps it up I don't think his late start will hurt his votes.

Kap definitely wasn't on Sunday, not to the extent he had been (without much help from his receivers). I think sometimes he looks for the big play too much. Take some short gains, force the Defense to tighten up then those big plays come so much easier. That'll come with experience though.

[Alferd Packer]

How 'bout dem Raiders, huh? And bestill my heart, a good Thursday game!

I think Carr is the real deal. Looks bad for the Chiefs to lose that game after knocking off Seattle. Hope to Hype in the blink of an eye.

[Alferd Packer]

Well the road loss to the worst team could leave them feeling a bit...chippy. They might go to town on Denver next week, especially since they're at Arrowhead.

Or Peyton drops god bombs on them all day, but we'll see.

[Havok]

That game for the Chiefs was about as textbook an example of a Trap Game as you could have.

Week 11: The Superbowl Champ Seahawks come into your house, supposedly with the loudest fan base, a title your fans have held for ages, you play a great, emotional game down to the wire and win.
Week 12: You play the 0-10 Oakland Raiders who have been the joke of the league for over a decade.
Week 13: You play the division leading Broncos and the unstoppable Peyton Manning for control of the division and the number 2 seed in the play-WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW DID WE LOSE TO THE RAIDERS?!

I don't care what anyone says on any team in the NFL. There are 3 teams that every player and coach and towel boy instantly circles as a win coming into this season, especially if you are a playoff team from last year, Tampa, Jacksonville and Oakland. THAT is why coaches preach and stress about every team being a tough win and blah blah blah, just for games like this.

That said, the Chiefs should be fine. They are 7-4 with five games to go and still a solid chance to not just make the playoffs, but still win the division. They do have a pretty tough remaining schedule though.

THAT said, I bring in every wide receiver with a pulse at this point and give them a try out. I don't know what it is with people not getting Alex Smith wide out help. Fuck, call up T.O., Ocho and Moss at this point.

I fully agree. Smith is a good quarterback, and Christ, you can't just direct snap it to Charles 30 times a game and expect to win(all the time, anyway). Give Smith a couple of solid targets and stretch out that field a bit.

[Havok]

I really thought Bowe would be that guy but I don't know what's up with him. I mean, he is on pace to have better numbers than last year, but it's like he is just a non-factor.

[Tsyroc]

I was expecting the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals this week, especially since it was played in Seattle and the Cards beat them there last year. I had expected that it would be a trouncing but it ended up much closer than I had expected. A fair amount of defense on both sides. Hopefully the Cardinals will return the favor when the Seahawks come to Arizona in a few more weeks. Hopefully Fitz will be back by then.

[Alferd Packer]

Jesus Christ, that fucking catch.

I live about 30 miles away from MetLife stadium and I could hear Chris Collinsworth jizzing from my house.

[Thanas]

We are so going to get beaten by the Saints - what with our nonexistent secondary. Or they go above and beyond and transform into monsters.

These are about all the possible outcomes.

Actually, we want Seattle to beat them again. We need to get Arizona down out of the stratosphere so we can catch them as they beat us once and we need to beat them and have the better record to get past them if they end up our competition for a Wild Card spot, but we need Seattle to lose to everyone else too.

It would have been nice if the Giants could have given us a little help in the Wild Card with the Cowboys too.

The losses to the Bears and the Rams are just killing us, neither of which should have happened.

I don't know if you haven't been paying attention, but the Saints kinda suck. You should be fine.

Not if the refs are fucking us six ways to sunday.

[Havok]

Told you.

And nice to have a running game again huh?

[Havok]

And christ on a stick, the Buccaneers can still win the fucking NFC South.

[Thanas]

Told you.

All hail the great Kubiak, rescuer of running backs, resurrector of offensive lines. Praise be to him, for he scores points.

It's Mike Shannahan's Zone Blocking scheme. That's why Denver pumped out 1000 yard rushers every year and why Terrell Davis will probably never see the Hall of Fame.

Elfdart could shed some more light on it, but I'm pretty sure the Niners used it too back in the glory days.

[Havok]

Enjoy the playoffs everyone else. Hopefully, we will see you again there next year.
