The NSG 2011-2012 NFL Football Season thread....

[Idaho Conservatives]

Don't sweat it too much. Forte will rape Philly's godawful run defense, Detroit is falling apart, and San Diego is very overrated. The Bears should be able to pull out of it probably with a 2-1 record.

[New West Guiana]

My Bears were rockin' and rollin' at Wembley.

Tough schedule for the three weeks after the bye, though - @ Philly, and then home against Detroit and SD. After that things should get easier though.

easier

Normally Christmas Day is always a happy time, but when the sun falls on Christmas nigh 2011 Jay Cutler will see the grim reaper clawing down on him. #52 Clay Matthews and the Green Bay Defense.

Whole lotta cheating in the NFL tonight.

Yeah, easier. Oakland, KC, Denver, Seattle, GB, and Minnesota.

We'll probably lose at Lambeau but could win all the others.

Har har.
Better jokes pl0x.

The Cheating New Orleans Cheating Satans did enough for the two of them tonight. Just like they did when they cheated in the Super Bowl.

Cheating Satans do it again!

62-7, just what the doctor ordered to get the new play calling system together until Sean Payton gets healed up.

[United Dependencies]

Panthers. Woo.

[Miley World]

they should copy Rob Ryan's defensive gameplan vs New England.

I disagree. Show Brady something he's seen before and he'll kill it.

hate the Pats, so yes I still fink the Jets will win their division

The Jets won't even make the postseason. New England are far too good, and Buffalo look like the real deal. At the moment, the Jets offense ranks almost bottom of the NFL and a once vaunted run defense is non existant. Revis Island doesn't count for shit if opposing backs are running all over your front 7.

Sanchez is horrible, so is the OC. The Reciever Corps complained to the HC about it, that should tell you all you need to know about the Jets. If they lose tonight, on National TV to the Miami Dolphins, you can pretty much write of their season. They'll be 3-4 with two division losses.

Oh how shameful it is to be

0-4

The Jets didn't look bad yesterday against the Chargers. Ok maybe they won't win the east division, but they'll be in the playoffs. The Bills still haven't convinced me.

The Bills have overcome several 20 point leads, and beat the Patriots. Thus far, they look like the real deal. However, they did the same in 2008 and tanked the rest of the season.

The Jets didn't win so much as the Chargers lost.

I think today one thing we learned Tebow sucks when play against real NFL defenses. 45-3 thus far!!! Denver should stop running the score up! While the Bills shut out the skins in Toronto 23-0.

[F1-Insanity]

Hey thanks Bills

Though the Giants sucked too... just not enough to lose.

[Serrland]

Hey thanks Bills

I almost feel bad for the Dolphins. They don't deserve to be 0-6, poor unlucky fellows.

I don't feel bad at all, squish the fish!

Glad to see the Bills can win in our Toronto 'home game', first shutout for Shanahan in 24 seasons, not bad, but I don't expect that to convince any of the doubters.

[Zilam]

Steelers beating the Pats. What a nice feeling. And I cant wait to pluck the feathers off the Ravens next week.

[New West Guiana]

Hopefully next week at this time the Packers will be 8-0! The good thing for the Colts next week they have a bye so they can't lose, nor win.

I would be very surprised if Green Bay doesn't clinch the NFC for another Superbowl trip.

As much as I dislike the smell of bratwurst and cheese farts, I must agree with this statement.

[Bluth Corporation]

OF COURSE the pass is uncatchable when you hold the receiver so he can't actually go to the ball.

That made no sense at all.

Even as a Bears fan I accept that this is probable. There are some issues on defense but Rodgers and Co. can make up for that by holding the ball on offense.

[Cathatis]

Houston 30-6 up, looks like my Texans are going 6-3 and the Colts are going 0-9. Who'd have guessed that during the summer?
