2012 NFL Week 1 Thread

[an-also]

did anyone see the Hard Knocks episode where Ryan Tannenhill tells Matt Moore that he doesn't even know the divisions and couldn't say if the Chiefs were in the AFC or NFC. I wanted to smack the shit out of him

Shit was disgustin'. Dude asked him to name a NFC east team to which tannenhill responds "uuh the chiefs??"

Meanwhile, during an interview with a local station, Godgers was able to name every defensive starter for the Niners off the top of his head. Now granted, that's because he fantasizes about sleeping with each one of them, but it is impressive none the less.

YAC

League high YTA was the Broncos at 7.9 and the low was the Jaguars at 5.3.
League high YAC avg was the Patriots 6.6 and the low was the Dolphins at 4.5.
So the ranges are pretty tight with the high to low range at 2.6 YTA and 2.1 YAC

12 teams (bold) in the league had a lower YTA than their 6.4.
Viking quarterbacks were throwing the ball downfield farther than more than I realized because I was thinking there would be few that threw shorter passes.
Only 9 had a lower YAC avg and many that did had a considerably higher YTA avg. That's significant in that the top target (Harvin) averaged more YAC than YTA and they had among the fewest receptions by WRs in the league. I expected them to rate higher there.
Only the Chiefs, Browns, Rams and Bucs had a lower avg in both categories. Another 12 had a higher number in both categories. Not sure exactly how to interpret these further. I had to calculate them myself as I couldn't find them kept anywhere so I haven't been able to look at them much aside from putting them together. But at first glance it seems that maybe a part of their passing trouble was the quarterbacks throwing as though they had quality targets even though the targets were far from what anyone would call quality.

Got some Nathans wieners, sauerkraut, bbq baked beans and potato buns and some big mean dogs wearing skins jerseys. One of my best friends is a fleur de lis lover so this game holds weight.

The eating, the beer, the victory. Holy shit its football. HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS FOOTBALL.

Jimmy. Not that you can really go wrong with either.

[Positive A]

I think I love RGIII

[peanut butter]

Fitzgerald out there with that contract lookin like Barry Zito



PEACE

[alpha]

I think I love RGIII

he's pretty much a perfect fit for Shanahans offense. Like how they're working in some read option.

[DLG]

not sure if RGIII is really dope or Saints D kinda blows.

probably a bit of both.

[naturalborn103]

Gronk > He is a much better blocker.

Brady #s would be crazy if not for two drops. Stafford bumming out.

[capable_keL]

Possibly. But dude looks pretty cool, calm and collected for his first game.
