2013 NFL season

[Keith and stuff]

You call yourself a patriot, rooting for scum from a faraway state?

Scum from a faraway state? I live in New England. Most of my family is in New England or at least from New England. How are the New England Patriots far away from me? I've even worked in Boston before. Gillette Stadium is less than 50 miles south of New Hampshire. Fenway Park is 31 miles south. TD Garden is only 29 miles south.

And the Patriots know how to play football when it's cold outside. Well, some of them do get injured, though

Just because they call themselves New England doesn't mean they aren't from Boston, Taxachusetts.

While the politics are pretty different b/t NH, VT and RI, folks are pretty united when it comes to pro-sports. Though, some of the folks in western VT and western/southern CT are fans of NY pro teams. Be it the Basketball and Hockey teams 29 miles from NH or the largest pro sports arena in New England, the Motor Speedway 50 miles north of MA, we tend to be in favor of New England stuff. I enjoy visiting Boston and there are plenty of trains and buses that go from NH to MA and even ME to MA. Boston is a great city to visit, but NYC is my favorite I highly recommend them both, if you haven't checked them out.

Sure, there are some rivals like U of NH hockey vs. U of ME hockey, but that's college sports.

BTW, the Taxachusetts label is something largely used when compared to how low the taxes are in NH. MA (outside of Boston), has lower average taxes than all of the New England states other than NH. And the taxes are lower than the next 2 closest states, NY and NJ. As long as we are making fun of MA, let's call them massholes

But back on topic, Go Patriots. I'm also a big fan of Peyton Manning and glad Denver won. I hope he stays healthy so he can broke a bunch of records!

For chrissakes K&S, you're laying out the modern Roman equivalent of bread and circus uniting the people. RESIST!

It's regionalism or something. It makes sense. Look at some of these fake fan maps.

 

[green73]

Jesus Christ, Dallas, have some respect for a change.

OMG that made my eyes bleed. There are Packers bars throughout the world, They are everywhere, in every big city in the US and every major city of the world, and more. Those maps are DISGUSTING.

They didn't all close down this season because of the way the team is playing They did win by 1 point, so that's cool, though. Just like the New England Pats Last I heard, Dallas was known as both America's Team and Mexico's Team.

Americas team? Just a marketing farce. Statistics show that the Packers are not only America's team, but the WORLD'S.

NFL Films gave the Cowboys that moniker; it was the title of the team's highlight video from 1978.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Team

There may be teams who are more popular from time to time, but that nickname has stuck. Nobody thinks of anyone but the Cowboys when someone says "America's Team"...and it's a blessing AND a curse, really.

 

[cajuncocoa]

Oh, and another thing:

Now just let me go crawl in a little ball in the corner and cry.

Perfect.

Cowboys Cowboys Uber Alles. Or not, without defense. Plenty of fair weather fans, plenty of crappy weather this season.

Another week of freedom from boasting and crowing from obnoxious Dalla--er, I mean Allas fans. Priceless. Those hundred dollar blue jackets are hanging in the closets for one more week.

As for you, cajun--you're the first Cowboys fan out of the millions I've known who actually stick by them during seasons like this. That's enough to impress a Chiefs fan, right there...

 

[torchbearer]

I'm secretly hoping Allas' Defense gives up the most yards ever this year so they'd stop mentions Nola's defense of last year.
I think they are around 170 yards away from giving up the most yards, if i heard correctly.

 

[JK/SEA]

details details...get em right here....

http://www.king5.com/sports/seahawks/Seahawks-playoff-scenarios-235278961.html

The Seattle Seahawks’ road to home field advantage in the NFC hit a bump with Sunday’s 2-point loss in San Francisco.

But, Seattle can still guarantee they will be home for the playoffs with a win this Sunday at the New York Giants, plus a little help.

A Seattle win coupled with a San Francisco 49ers loss or tie at Tampa Bay AND a New Orleans Saints loss at St. Louis would give the Seahawks home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Even without a Saints loss, the Seahawks can win the NFC West and at least a first-round bye with a win and a 49ers loss or tie Sunday OR with a tie and a 49ers loss.

Other NFC playoff scenarios

San Francisco clinches a playoff spot with a win, an Arizona loss and a Dallas loss or tie OR a win, an Arizona loss and Philadelphia loss or tie.

New Orleans clinches a playoff spot with a win OR a tie and a loss or tie by either Arizona or San Francisco OR a loss and a loss or tie by either Dallas or Philadelphia OR aSan Francisco loss, a Dallas loss or tie and an Arizona tie OR a San Francisco loss, a Philadelphia loss or tie and an Arizona tie

Carolina clinches a playoff spot with a win, losses by Arizona and San Francisco and a Dallas loss or tie OR a win, losses by Arizona and San Francisco and a Philadelphia loss or tie

AFC playoff scenarios

Denver clinches AFC West division with a win and a Kansas City loss. Denver clinches a first-round bye with a win, a Kansas City loss and a Cincinnati loss or tie.

Kansas City clinches a playoff spot with a win or tie OR a loss or tie by either Miami or Baltimore.

New England clinches division with a win or tie. New England clinches a playoff spot with a Baltimore loss or tie.

Cincinnati clinches division with a win and a Baltimore loss or tie OR a tie and a Baltimore loss. Cincinnati clinches a playoff spot with a win and a Miami loss or tie OR a tie and a Miami loss.

The Chiefs go to Oakland Sunday.

I'm not worried about making the playoffs. I'm just worried about going into them healthy. Oakland can't play. But they can always play dirty.

I've been a Cowboys fan for 45+ years. I don't know anything else. I'll be with 'em win or lose until I die.

 

[Zippyjuan]

I see RGIII isn't going to play for the rest of the regular season.

 

[anaconda]

Oakland can't play. But they can always play dirty.

I have a theory that the Raiders are still doing penance for their antics in the 1970's.

 

[oyarde]

Eagles suddenly , strangely look like hell , twenty minutes to play , they have run the ball 7 times , of course they are down by 18 points ..... the Vikings have lost four games in the last fifty seconds this season though ( had they won those they would be in first place instead of working on one of the top draft picks), so the Eagles could still win .....

More like Matt Cassell showing the reason why the Chiefs signed him in the first place. Shame he decided to waste our time and money instead of showcasing his true talent
