NFL 2012 Season

[Bodhi]

I think theses replacement refs are doing a fantastic job! (The Raiders only have 14 penalties this season, they are usually good for that in the first game)  Ha all kidding aside these refs blow, they are just not qualified to be doing this job, not really their fault.  Its like putting me out there to play QB for the Giants and then getting pissed at me when I am throwing picks or getting sacked every play.  Oh and by sacked I mean getting absolutely decimated.

Exactly, these are high school and small college refs. They are in way over their head and don't know the pro rules.

And the lockout is over, everyone rejoice!

Now on another note, i am completely dumbfounded by what the Jets are doing in light of Revis' injury. They are converting running back McKnight to corner back. What?

doesn't really matter what they do, unless a lot of things change for them they are playing for next year already. They beat 2 bad teams so far, and have a brutal schedule in the next few weeks.  Rex Ryan has really had the benefit of not having too many devastating injuries to his team the last few years, now he is going to have to step up and find a way to win.  Revis not playing is as devastating an injury as any team will have to endure this year, it literally changes everything.

Yay! 

Now I can go back to bitching at the guys who are supposed to be blowing calls.

Excactly! Although, they blow calls a lot less frequently and not so badly that they cost teams games.

I agree, you don't lose a player like Revis and recover from it. Its such a huge blow to their defense.

The best news is we won't have to endure one more game with replacement refs. They will infact be officiating tomorrow night's game. Yay!

damn it.  Watching replacement refs make fools out of themselves was the only interesting thing that was going to happen during a Ravens/Browns game.  Oh well.

Haha yeah, that's gonna be a very lopsided game.

The NY Jets are a joke. First, they need to get rid of Sanchez and than fire their head coach. It's been proven over and over that Sanchez cannot win a Superbowl and is not even an NFL caliber quarterback.

All the grief the referees received was pathetic. All the ESPN elites should just go out shoot themselves. It's unfortunate that Roger Goodell was made out to be the bad guy in all of this just the way he did in 'Bountygate.'

Oh, and Robert Griffin, shut up! This isn't college football anymore and you haven't proven anything to anyone. Your game is be dissected and figured out very quickly!

That game by Sanchez last week had to be the WORST 300 yard passing game in the history of the league.  He was awful in that game.  Fairness to him though, he made the plays at the end when it mattered to win the game.

Anyway, on cue.  Rex is at it again.

Coach Rex Ryan stated Friday that the Jets will not place Darrelle Revis (torn ACL) on injured reserve in hopes he can return for the Super Bowl.

The delusional Jets still think they're going to the Super Bowl. Ryan says the Jets will make the I.R. decision after Revis has the knee surgically restructured. Per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, "there is no way that Jets doctors would clear Darrelle Revis to play in a game in February. None." Sep 28 - 2:05 PM

That's definitely a silly move. There is no realistic chance he plays again before next pre season.

Rex is all about the headlines, meanwhile the team they share a stadium with is all about doing their job and winning Super Bowls.  I don't know what is more unrealistic, Revis being ready to play at a high level in February or the Jets being in the Super Bowl conversation.  Unreal.  Instead of playing these media games Rex should acknowledge Revis is done and focus on the 53 players he DOES have and show a belief in their ability to step up.

Agreed completely.

The New England Patriots offense was set to feature its two nightmare matchups in tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. The duo signed offseason contracts worth a combined maximum of $95 million.

Now, both are banged up.

Hernandez is out with an ankle injury suffered in Week 2. Gronkowski was a new addition to the injured list Friday with a hip problem. He was listed as limited in practice and questionable for the Patriots' division matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

I hate it for Rob Gronkowski. I'm sitting Rob today in my fantasy league in favor of Tony Gonzalez. I hope he doesn't let me down.

Looking more and more like the Jets need to sit Sanchez for Tebow.

I'm not sure that'll help very much. They just aren't a very good team this year and losing Revis makes them even worse. They could possibly be without Holmes for awhile too.
