Plus, you'll note that the only one who ever actually names the substance the player is busted for is the player themselves, as everyone else is forbidden to release any information about the test results. Odds are that a lot of players who claim "adderall" were actually busted for something else.
So is Detroit going to get a completely transcendental player about once a generation and then completely fail to do anything with him? Hopefully Calvin Johnson doesn't retire early...
Today's Vikings-Texans game could be gross -- really gross -- but I'm super-excited for it anyway. Should be some decent football played on at least one side of the ball, plus Purple Jesus. Unfortunately we're a lot more likely to see Mr. Christian than Dr. Ponder today.
A good running game is a great formula for winning on the road. You can practically write down 100 (or maybe more like 150) and a touch down for AD right now. Texans LB corps is pretty beat up right now. This feels like more of a FG game to me than what the spread might indicate.
As long as the Saints plays Patrick Robinson you can always score a touchdown on them. He is so damn bad it's scary. If he won't blow his coverage he'll be sure to hand out a pass interference or holding call for you. Also, going on a 15 play drive only to miss the kick from 20-something yards just before that, that is not how you win on the road in the NFL. Ah, also, the refs are handing out make-believe penalties as well. Great.
Get. Him. Off. The. Field. How hard can it be? He is not, has never been, and never will be an NFL cornerback. He is losing us games for the third season in a row. Get. RID. of. him. NOW. grgrgjkadBNJÖUDFkgdfjk
An irony of this game is that Packer fans should be rooting for Seattle since they need the 49ers to lose so Green Bay can grab the #2 seed and bye.
Looks like the Bengals are wilting again when their season is on the line. For all the credit you might give their coach for making what is a poorly run organization look competitive, I think at some point you have to wonder if another coach might be able to get them over the hump - they have the talent.
That pass to Thomas for the 30-17 score? That play and its variations is the no1 go-to play the Saints use near the goalline. I've lost count on how many TD:s they've scored exactly like that.
I was just about to post this... That was a nail biter ending to a game that was probably a bit of a trap game...
So the AFC playoffs are largely set, other then seeding. Houston, New England, Denver, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis.
Is Andrew Luck any good? The Colts were the worst team in the league last year! Damn, I hate the Colts!
I think they are overrated and won't do a thing in the playoffs. Mainly because their schedule has been ridiculously easy. But who knows at this point.
Still, to go from 2-14 to a 10 win season and a playoff spot with basically the same team is pretty impressive.
No doubt. I just wonder if it would have also happened had they kept Peyton. In other words, we don't know if this is because the Colts were a better team then they looked last year because they had poor QB play or if there is some combination of the changes, including Luck, that took an inherently bad team and made it much better.
Sure, but Peyton is a first-ballot HOF QB and Luck is a rookie. It's reasonable to believe that the Colts would have had to live through a number of mediocre seasons but apparently not.
Decent drive for SF now. Notable exception: Kaepernick's inexperience is hurting them though; he takes too long to call the play and it's cost them a timeout and a penalty on this drive. SF's got some defensive adjustments to make. They're clearly focused on bottling Lynch up; I guess the gameplan was to make Russel Wilson beat their zone coverage. So far Wilson's done that with ease.
Well looks like Peterson will need to destroy the Packers next week to get the record. I think he will, he got over 200 yards against them earlier this year. And breaking the record against the cheeseheads will just make it that much sweeter.
Pretty ticky tack foul there; I didn't see the helmet to helmet so much as an airborne receiver getting killed.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not even a terrible call against a perfectly executed play by Kam Chancellor can keep the Seahawks down. TOUCHDOWN!
haha washington using the ref as a blocker. 49ers got the turnover they need. Let's see if they can punch it in. DO NOT WANT another FG attempt if you're SF!
And with how much Carroll hates Harbaugh I can see them running up the score as much as possible. Which is fine with me as I have Wilson, Lynch and Tate on my fantasy team.
ROTY and OROTY awards are going to be interesting this year. And somehow Cincy got into the playoffs...I don't think I've heard their name mentioned this year...er, ever.
Happy Birthday to the biggest douche in the NFL -- Jim Harbaugh -- he's reaping exactly what he deserves tonight!
