2012 NFL Gameday Discussion

They've played a fairly easy schedule though so far


Out of their 5 wins, they beat a Lions team that wasn't 100%, and edged out a win versus the Niners, but it was at home.


I expect them to lose 8 of their next 9 games, and go 6-10 on the year. Better than expected, but they arent that good

You were already wrong about them once...

Colts
3-3 3
Last Week: 26 At home, the Colts are lucky and good. They have the emotion of Chuck Pagano's recovery along with QB Andrew Luck. (Clayton) 24
Jets
3-4 1
Last Week: 23 The Jets usually bounce back from tough games. They have an impressive 3-1 record following overtime games under Rex Ryan. (Hensley)

Did ESPN forget about how the Jets absolutely raped the Colts just last week?

How could they possibly be ahead of us in the Power Rankings?

Seems like they only take the time to put together the top 5 or top 10... the rest, they just slap shit on there and call it a day. I doubt they even remembered the Jets played the Colts.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Well they do have a better record

:kobe:

Lions signed Brian Robiskie lol.

[RipCity32]

I think, at least. IDK.
That'd be cool though, has some good height.

 

[elcheato]

I wish he was good.

 

[RipCity32]

Maybe this was the break he needed

 

[elcheato]

That and the ability to separate.

 

[RipCity32]

Yes that wouldn't hurt

Remember when there were fans who were upset that the Browns chose running back Trent Richardson over wide receiver Justin Blackmon in the first round of the 2012 draft. In fact, you might have been one of them.

The Browns instead drafted Josh Gordon, a raw but talented receiver, in the second round of the supplemental draft. It looks like that was the right decision so far.

Gordon has been the NFL's most explosive rookie receiver this season and has outplayed Blackmon through seven weeks. Gordon has 14 catches for 333 yards (23.8-yard average) and four touchdowns. Blackmon has 14 receptions for 126 yards (9.0-yard average) and no touchdowns.

Here are some of Gordon's accomplishments:

• Gordon is leading all NFL rookies in receiving touchdowns (4), receiving yards (333), receptions of 20 yards or longer (5) and ranks fourth in scoring (24) and is tied for fourth in receptions (14).
• He has an NFL rookie-best 333 receiving yards. He is on pace to set the Browns’ rookie receiving yards record (Kevin Johnson had 986 yards in 1999).
• After catching a 33-yard touchdown at Indianapolis on Sunday, he became the first Browns rookie to record three consecutive games with a touchdown reception of 30 yards or longer and first NFL rookie to accomplish that feat since Randy Moss did it in four straight games in 1998.
• With four touchdowns on the season, Gordon is the first Browns rookie to score four or more receiving touchdowns since Andre’ Davis recorded six in 2002.

Gordon has been far from perfect, even during his current hot streak. His drop near the goal line in the fourth quarter Sunday likely cost Cleveland the game. But the Browns were impressed with how he handled that mistake.

"I talked to him and he’s a full-grown man," coach Pat Shurmur said. "He understands what’s going on and he’s hard on himself. I think that tells me that [he’s] got a chance to improve and we’ve seen great improvement from him. I expect that he’ll get better next week.”

What Browns fan would have wanted Blackmon over Trent??

 

[elcheato]

Dumb ones

Clay Matthews – “Giants didn’t us, we beat ourselves”
Kyle Williams – “We gave the NFC Championship Game to the Giants”
Cam Newton – “Giants didn’t do anything special, I just didn’t play well”
DeAngelo Hall – “Cruz didn’t make that play, we gave him that play”

Blackmon hasn't done shit this year.

I guess they forgot the Giants won the Super Bowl last year

When a team loses to another team they rarely say "they just beat us." Maybe coaches do, but players normally place the blame on themselves rather than give credit to the opponent.
