Official 2013 NFL Discussion Thread

Well, now they're playing indoors instead of in sub freezing temps in Cinn.

Boooooo...i always loved the weather being a factor. I will never forget the games I grew up watching players slide 10 yards in the rain/mud/snow before all this "in-the-dome" wussy crap

I watched the Redskins - Giants game today. 40 degrees and raining hard. QB's couldn't throw and receivers couldn't catch the wet, cold ball. Made for an ugly game to have to watch. I don't want that in playoff games. The Superbowl in NY is probably the dumbest idea the NFL has had in a long time.

No way! Outdoors in early Feb, what could possibly go wrong...



...this aint the Hawaii Bowl dammit

[IPD]

lol @ chiefs

yeah. boo for a team that still managed a tie for 3rd best record in the conference, even though their division was strong enough to put up 3 playoff contenders.

statistically, i'd be willing to bet the odds favor KC this go round against Indy. but i guess we'll see how bad injuries have taken their toll.

Just for poops and giggles, here's my current play off guesses:
Wild Card
KC over Indy
Cincy over SD
Philly over NO
GB over SF

Divisional
Denver over KC
Cincy over NE
Carolina over GB
Seattle over Philly

Championship
Denver over Cincy
Seattle over Carolina

Super Bowl
Denver over Seattle


Let's see how wrong I can get.

Did you all see that the NFL admitted that the Chiefs (and with the circumstances the Steelers too) got screwed on the FG attempt to end regulation? SD had too many players on one side of the ball and the NFL already admitted a flag should have been thrown and Succup would have gotten another attempt.

Oh well, it is what it is. The officiating was offically TERRIBLE this year.

I agree with all that really except I'd take Seattle over Denver. The Broncos have 0 defense.

Yes that was awful. There was also some weird clock glitch in Arlington last night having a delay of game call...ended up changing the dynamic of a decent Cowboy drive. Arguably a game changer.

It looks like its Seattle's year to win or lose it...but would love to see some upsets. AFC side is more competitive IMHO. Colts and Eagles are my Cinderella picks.

[sergechronos]

Denver definitely has no defense, but I think that they have more offense than Seattle does defense.

Seattle has a heckuva team, I'm just not sure that they've played an offense as loaded as Denvers except maybe when they got NO at home. But NO also plays like crap away from the Superdome, so..Not sure how valuable of a comparison that is. Remains to be seen, just a gut feeling.

Obviously, I'd much prefer if Carolina goes to (and wins) the Super Bowl, but realistically I don't see it happening with the issues the team has.

Norv Turner going to get kicked to the curb once more... Cleveland cleaning house again...
