Official 2013-14 NFL Thread

[warmouth]

Why should the media have treated the team any differently? THEY built that team. They invested in tom bradys back up based off one season and kept giving him chance after chance (hes starting again this weekend again lol). They hired that coach! They had a player commit suicide on NFL property. They loss all those games last year. Face it, they were a self inflicted joke of a franchise who won 2 games

Everything i read or heard this year had them called out as the team that would make the biggest improvement in the Win/Loss column this year

Your chip on your shoulder is severely misplaced

Reid, Smith and the Chiefs got no respect in the very beginning....just read what this guy posted about Smith here " Sounds like its akers to lose as there's nobody else in the mix.

Hopefully with kap a kicker won't be as important as the Alex smith era for you guys", OUCH I bet hes eating those words now

Oh so your chip is from posts on this thread and not the national media predictions?

Why do you excuse your franchise 2 win season? Own it. YOUR GM built that team and it stunk. You dont get a "if only pass" or "what if pass" for it

also, most people know preseason means NOTHING. Youre literally mad at the world over people not rolling out the red carpet for a 2 win team despite the national censuses being they'd improve

Yeah we had a bad season last year, and our record sucked, I own up to that; Im man enough not to blame it on the other teams.....but the whole team didn't suck, we have practically the same D and special teams we had last year and it did upset me that wasn't recognized enough, but don't worry it will be this season. Lol, Im not mad at the world for anything.....the worlds a big place bro with a lot of different people in it; what I didn't like was the fact you were making excuses for NE being a winning team by saying that they had only played bad teams, ....the Jets are not a "bad team" and the Bills are no longer a "Bad team" and theyre stats prove it; Bwa ha ha, those Patriots are just winning because of BLa Bla bla.....just excuses, the fact is, is that theyre winning.....oh yeah just like the Chiefs now, because Reid is a good enough head coach to see where we needed improvement and to make those changes. Btw bringing up a suicide because a player was having problems with his wife at home is pretty juvenile.

So five pro bowlers from those two squads wasn't recognition?

So you think opponents have zilch to do with your record? That's pretty much what I just read

I'm still confused about why its not OK to call a 2 win team a joke just because of some bright spots. You still lost 14 games

 

[ballinouttacntrol]

I think your rooting interests lies in under dogs. It might explain why when an underdog surprises people, you elevate them to good status. I bet if the jags had won one game, you'd be calling them good right now too. I'm still baffled by how a 1 win bills team is good

Have you watched a patriots game this year? Their offense is struggling and they're 3-0. We dont even know if their D is good because of the bad opponents theyve played. This will be their first test against a team that can put points on the board, therefor putting MORE pressure on the struggling offense

NE has faced 2 rookie QBs and a QB whos thrown like 9 INT to 2 tds in his last 6 games. Their D is not tested. Theres my unbiased and thought out reasons for why today we learn something about the patriots

Btw, atl chooses not to run. Its not that they cant. Theyre putting up decent numbers for the amount of carries and their RBs have a fair amount of catches. And steve jackson got hurt early in game 2. Theres been more snaps without him then with him.

Hmm...scary we are having the same veiws LOL. Watched ATL run all over the Fins last week. They run quite effectively, as the 4.8 yards per carry shows, when they choose to. ATL problems are in the redzone. Five times against the Fins and only 2 TDs, three trips against the Saints and only 1 TD. Hard to beat anybody when just settling for FG attempts instead of producing TDs.

As far as NE goes, they are just lucky to have played three crap teams to start the seaon.

As far as telling anything about either team, well it's pretty early in the season and both teams have had some key players missing. ATL wins and it just confirms that NE has been fortunate to have played an easy schedule. NE wins just says the ATL has too many injuries. Ofcoarse if the game is full of turnovers then that will discount anything that can be said about either team. Single games really don't tell much about any team.

The Seachickens are back ...

 

[Bderick67]

My Bold prediction for the weekend, or maybe just wishful thinking

The Dolphins will be the only remaining undefeated team after this weekend.

Four and Oh Baby

Beating the saints is the least the 'fins can do after beating the Falcons.
