The NFL Thread- Super Bowl XLVII: The Harbowl

So... thoughts from yesterday's clusterfuck? I think it was the worst week I've ever had in a pick 'em league, although almost every game was interesting in some form or another*. My team (KC) outright quit, managing just 119 yards and seven first downs against the 30th-ranked defense in the league. You know, just in case being responsible for half of the Raiders' wins in one season wasn't enough salt in the wound.

*Interesting in that, even in the blowouts, the games either crystalized or revealed something that the public had long suspected about the teams. Buffalo, for example, wilts under pressure if faced with any team over .500 that's not named the 2011 Patriots. San Diego is actively trying to get Norv Turner fired. Washington and Seattle are brilliant for picking up fliers on QBs in the third and fourth rounds when it was widely assumed that they already had their QB of the future (to say nothing of the 49ers, of course).

The Cowboys and Falcons sure seem to be trying their best at bucking obnoxious trends, and the Falcons greatly helped the Cowboys out yesterday too. It was a good day for sure.

If beating the defending champions 34-0 doesn't send a message to Falcons critics, nothing will until the postseason comes around. Maybe it won't mean anything until the Falcons win a playoff game. Hopefully they can at least win one game so that Matt Ryan isn't constantly referred to as the next Tony Romo. <_<

The Giants are officially the most perplexing team in the NFL. After 8 weeks, they were 6-2 while no one else in the division had a winning record, and it looked like the division was all theirs. Now, Dallas has won 5 of their last 6, Washington is riding a 5 game win streak, and the Giants are the only one of the three that do NOT control their fate. I don't get them, but hey. It just seems like another patented second half collapse by the Giants.

Now, if the Giants lose either one of their final two games, Cowboys @ Redskins will decide the division week 17, regardless of what happens next week. If both Dallas and Washington win next week, the Giants can't win the division(though I believe they still clinch a wild card if they win out, so it's not like their *postseason* fate isn't out of their hands. They'd probably have to go to Lambeau round 1 if they get a wild card...and we know how that went last season).

I'm excited about a Redskins/Cowboys division title game, because week 17 division title games have always gone well for the Cowboys! Just look at 2008 and 2011 and...oh. Well shit.

And for the Scorehero Title Game, it looks like we have Hepa Titus, who had the best record in the league by three games but barely survived this week, facing off against IAm The One Who Knox, who broke Moss-man's back. Should be a good one.

Sanchez finally got benched.

Now the healing can begin.

Megatron just set a mega record. Most receiving yards in a single season.

I don't think I'm gonna do fantasy football anymore. The same shit happens to my teams every year. I do REALLY good during the regular season, and then fall flat on my face in the playoffs. I'm like the fantasy atlanta falcons. Shit is really frustrating.

Speaking of playoffs...I guess the playoffs start now in my eyes. Cowboys @ Redskins is almost a playoff game; if the Cowboys lose, they cannot make the playoffs in any way, but if they win, they win the division. The Redskins obviously win the division if they win this game, but they can still get in as a wild card with some help(they would need the Vikings to lose to GB and Chicago to lose to Detroit). I wouldn't bank on both happening.

If the Cowboys lose this, it would complete what I see as an embarrassing trifecta. It would be their 3rd blown Week 17 do-or-die game in 5 years, and they would have lost one apiece to each division rival, on said rival's home field: @ Philly in 2008(44-6), @ New York last year(31-14), and now @ Washington this year. Hey wait, that should be the bigger question, how come the Cowboys have had only one Week 17 home game in the past 6 years? >______>

The Falcons seem to be in pretty good shape going into the postseason. I really think this team could be different from previous years. Hopefully they've learned from previous years...though I hope the 6th seed beats the 3rd seed in the first round, so that the possibility of a Cowboys-Falcons playoff game doesn't happen very easily. I don't want that matchup.

fitting end to the season...i hate the giants and the cowboys so i guess i'm as happy as an eagles fan can be this year. i was hoping AP would get the record today. and finally the playoffs are going to be sweet--nothing better than manning and brady being 1/2 just like the old days.

EDIT: i'll miss you andy reid

Rumor mill for the Bears is they are pursuing Mike McCoy, OC for the Broncos, for the head coach position.
