2012 NFL / College Football Seasons

[macamatic]

Going back a few weeks for this...

1 game in the regular season does not a champion make. They're good, but I think they just haven't had their flaws exposed yet. I think Houston is better as a team, with a little more explosion no offense and defense.

I think you cleared the conclusions mat completely on that jump. Texans, Chargers, Ravens, Patriots, and Falcons have looked more dominant than the 49ers as of two weeks into the season

I'll admit to a slight bias towards San Fran because of the way they play, but very quickly: two weeks, not one; not sure how the Ravens and Pats looked more dominant in losses; I don't consider the Chargers a true threat (and they lost 27-3 the next week); I'll start taking the Falcons seriously when they win a playoff game.

Anyway, they stumbled against the Vikes the next week, but I was very careful to say "look". That said, you're both right about the Texans. I wasn't totally sold because of the way they sputtered early on against my Fins, but it turns out we're not the doormat I expected to be.

So much for Florida State. Both my National Championship predictions are out of it now.

I tried to warn you, dude.

Looks like the Oregon Ducks are playing themselves into the National Championship. They murdered the Washington Huskies in a week that saw 3 of the top 5 ranked teams lose (though to be fair, 2 of those top 5 ranked schools that lost this week are SEC schools that got a bit more love because they play in the SEC)

They still need to get by Stanford and USC (twice), but I don't know how you pick against them from here on out. I'm interested to see if 6-10 just slide up or we see a little more shuffling.

Stanford lost to Washington, the team that Oregon just murdered. That being said, the Pac 12 isn't exactly a cakewalk.

Yeah I'm sold on Alabama. They're pretty much going to cruise to another championship, unless South Carolina stops them in the SEC title game.

Another on-field death

I wasn't kidding when I wondered aloud whether football will even exist in three or four decades.

Also, it seems Michael Vick got a dog. I'm not sure I'm cool with that.

They already performed an autopsy on the SC high school player that died. Turns out he suffered an arythmia from being born with an enlarged heart that was never diagnosed. Football didn't (in and of itself) cause his death, although it's possible it was a contributing factor if only from the stress.

The Madden curse has turned in to My Fantasy Football team curse. THEY ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES.

Looks like I was wrong about the Seahawks losing to Carolina. Their Defense played lights out against Cam Newton.

That being said, next week vs New England will be bad for Seahawks fans. Tom Brady will carve that D apart like a thanksgiving turkey, much like he does to every defense.

Dolphins won. We're dandy as long as we can stay out of overtime

The Andrew Luck legacy started today. The Broncos/Patriots game kept mentioning about the Manning/Brady rivaly being the longest running head-to-head QB rivalry in the history of the sport, so (fingers crossed) I'm hoping Luck and Tannehill can break that record years from now

The thing is that he would've died the same way if he ran track or played soccer

Losing to OU how we did sucks. However, I feel as though we will bounce back and give WVU some trouble. No one has had issues scoring on them, and I don't feel as though we should have any problem with that. Getting a few stops will be very important and I don't know if we can do that.
