Around the NFL 2012-2013

Yea me too. I got 2 wins on the line tonight. I need Rivers and Gates to combine for 26 and DMC to get 10.

12 from DMC gets me a win, actually technically 11 will as well since that's a tie and our tie breaker is bench points, which I have easily.

It's why I was upset we let Vickers go. I realize he hasn't been able to stick on a team, but there is no denying he is a hell of a blocker. Instead we got rid of him because he can't catch. Since we all know how important it is for a FB to catch the ball. The more mind boggling thing is we replaced him with Marecic, who can't catch OR block.

And when we all want to curse Trent Richardson, let us remember that our O-line is subpar and that we got rid of our best blocker for a rookie without finding out if he was capable of being upto the job.

What a horrible night from Cutler. Their O line sucks more than the Browns' and that says a lot.

I was so close to starting him on my fantasy team tonight. Boy that would've sucked. Glad I used my head instead of following my gut.

God Clay Matthews is such a freaking monster. Mack is a solid center, but man what I would give to go back in time and correct the Mangini trade.

Can you imagine Matthews and Sheard attacking the QB? :drool:

Oh cutler threw 4 picks I bet Chicago fans are calling for Jason Campbell like Browns fans were calling for McCoy to start

Difference is that Jay Cutler have proven over his career that he is a boarder-line Pro Bowl quarterback. The best Colt McCoy has shown was that he could be a game-manager. And that is the very best we have seen out of Colt, because most games he played like straight-up booty.

Jay Cutler has so much raw talent but the guy is just such a bitch that it ruins him. He's one of the easiest QB's to break, sack him a few times and he's screaming at his offensive line and coaches. Then he starts trying to win the game on his own and racks up 3-4 picks and it's all over.

Maybe if Chicago had done a little better job of centering their gameplan around the fullback they would have been a bit more successful

You're making no sense. I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but nobody wants to center the offense around a fullback. Only a moron would deny the value of a good run blocking full back when you're trying to utilize the power ran game.

The Packers with Kuhn seemed to be pretty good last night.

Even though it's from the Onion, I'm pretty sure it's true.

NEW YORK—NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was reportedly growing increasingly annoyed Thursday while frantically searching the Internet for a live stream of the Bears, Packers game, expressing frustration that his cable provider didn’t carry the “bullshit NFL Network.”

“This sucks,” said Goodell, who sources confirmed angrily slammed his fist on the table when dozens of pop-up windows opened on his laptop’s screen after clicking a link for the game on the website Livenflstreaming.com. “Ugh, I’m missing the goddamn kickoff. Why can’t a huge division game like this just be on NBC or ESPN?”

“I guess the NFL.com Game Center page is fine for checking out the stats and stuff,” added Goodell. “But I want to watch the game not spend three and a half hours following the drives on that shitty little football field graphic. Plus the commentators on NFL.com are a bunch of clueless dicks”

Claiming that it was impossible to find a decent live stream of the Bears, Packers game, Goodell complained numerous websites that promised to illegally broadcast NFL contests had “sketchy” requests for credit card information.

The exasperated NFL commissioner, who told reporters that he was encouraged after downloading and installing an allegedly missing plug-in for the video player on Chanfeed.com, became incensed when the live stream failed to work and instead displayed a message about content being removed for copyright infringement.

“Christ, I just want to see the Jay Cutler get knocked on his ass by Clay Matthews,” Goodell said. “The NFL finds so many ways to dick over loyal football fans. Honestly, I’d be happy to go to the NFL website and pay like 10 bucks to watch this game live. They’d make a shit ton of money and it’s still would be way cheaper then going to a bar.”

“Are they worried about ad revenue or something?” Goodell added. “They could show commercials. I don’t give a flying fuck.”

Goodell told reporters that the NFL would probably never implement a brilliant sales model that allowed fans to purchase individual games for viewing, because DirecTV had a “fucking monopoly” with their “total rip-off” NFL Sunday Ticket.

“It pretty much blows for fans who live outside the broadcast area of their favorite teams,” Goodell said. “Until they fix this mess, the NFL is just forcing people to watch illegal live streams.”

“I should just get my buddies to chip in for the NFL Sunday Ticket and then help fans out by streaming games online,” continued Goodell.

Goodell confirmed that he found a “half-assed” feed of the Bears, Packers game on Justin.tv, but said the footage was pixilated and frequently froze every time the action started.

As of press time, the NFL commissioner had abandoned the fruitless attempt to watch the game online and was masturbating to a 1994 team photo of the Buffalo Bills.

Cutler will never be great, because he can't contain himself at all. No leadership, nothing, just starts pouting and screaming at everyone. Things were breaking down for Rodgers too, but never did we see him going ballistic on the sidelines, and pouting like a two year old.

The Bears will never win it all with Cutler. The guy is his worst victim, and will always be their undoing. You can't trust a team when the QB is has no impulse control at all. He's a version of Brett Favre without the talent, and without the mental toughness.

I was impressed by Flacco, as soon as they started opening up the playbook to more passes dude was making some nice throws. Always thought he was more of a Alex Smith/Sanchez, some of his deep balls were Brees-esque (that's what she said).
