Go Ravens! Kick lots of field goals!










Guess who has Justin Tucker on his fantasy team.

And I just noticed my opponent this week has Peyton Manning, and Eric Decker. Double Triple go Ravens!

[Frigidus]

The Broncos in my mind are clearly the kings of the AFC. Who would you guys say is the best out of the NFC right now?

[Army of GOD]

I came several times. Solid fucking game all around.

The Broncos in my mind are clearly the kings of the AFC. Who would you guys say is the best out of the NFC right now?

Sexiest picks atm are Seattle and San Fran. Young, mobile and smart QBs, solid running backs, and tough as shit defenses. I'd be surprised if the NFC Championship was anything other than these two.

[oVo]

I agree the Seahawks and Niners look tough,
but I want to see a few games before giving
away any projected titles.

Falcons, Packers, Patriots and Texans
will all be good too.

Brees, Ryan, Newton, RGIII, Luck, Romo, Bradford and the Mannings
and a few more that can certainly alter the course of a season.

The pick six turnover/touchback followed by the completion
facemask penalty fumble/turnover/reversed into a Raven TD
drive was a strange sequence.

[DoomYoshi]

I pick Denver to win.

[strike wolf]

ATL @ NO

Hater.

I'm not sure on the NFC. I expect Atlanta and San Fran to be good again. I'm still waiting to actually see the Seahawks play a couple games that count before I decide anything regarding them.

[Crazyirishman]

I was wondering when this thread would start, I couldn't post because the game didn't start tile 3am here. Plus I think my track record shows I would pick Denver anyway
DEN
BUF
SEA
CIN
CLE
DET
IND
KC
NO
TB
PIT
GB
STL
NYG
PHI
HOU

[oVo]

I was a bit slow even realizing it was beginning
and figure the Opener last night is moot.

With or without the initial pick it's all good
and no biggie... except to Raven fans.

[IcePack]

I had denver picked in my pick em league, but thought i was going to regret it after the start.
Looks like my initial pick was right and had nothing to worry about

[oVo]

Seven TD tosses by Peyton Manning can ease a lot of nerves
and even makes a sports blooper not pick six tolerable.

I'm just hoping Peyton has used up the Manning allotment
of touchdown tosses for this week.

[oVo]

A few hours until kickoff . . .
I'm ready for some FOOTBALL!

[Frigidus]

I am so tired right now.

[Army of GOD]

Fun day.

Main takeaways:
1. Patriots are going to struggle, especially if Damnendola gets injured.
2. Kaepernick can fucking sling the ball and the Packers still can't play defense.
3. Jacksonville is awful.

[oVo]

There was some ugly football played today.
Dallas needed 6 turnovers to slip by NY
and the Niners in Seattle looks like fun.

[Crazyirishman]

How about, who had a dumber penalty, Levonte David or Rey Maualuga?
Also the Manning brothers combined for 11TDs and 3 INTs this week.

How about, who had a dumber penalty, Levonte David or Rey Maualuga?

No shortage of dumb plays and penalties, Tampa Bay's comeback win negated
by a field goal attempt created by a personal foul is hard to top.

Also the Manning brothers combined for 11TDs and 3 INTs this week.

and they play on the same field next week.

2. Kaepernick can fucking sling the ball and the Packers still can't play defense.
3. Jacksonville is awful.

Odd thing, the year the Packers won the Super Bowl, they had one of the better defenses. Ever since they won it, their defense can't stop anything and have had to rely on Rodgers and the passing game.
