A Few Things We've Learned About The NFL.

[lionstop1]

Wow, just two weeks into the season and things have gotten interesting. Here's a few things we've learned so far:

Those Lions are being the Lions and the fans are...still those fans. Yay!

The Colts look pretty terrible...even with their star QB at the helm. Everyone thought SB?

Chip Kelly's plan is failing miserably at this point. What next?

Dolphins won't win that division because NE is alive!

Big Ben, Brady and Rodgers are killing it!

Seahawks look to be in trouble but have the Bears and Lions up next.

And....things are not always what they seem. The NFL is tough.

And....things are not always what they seem. The NFL is tough.

Sure seemed like the Lions would suck this year without Suh. Learned that a long time ago.

The Colts are a one man team, same as the Texans.

How long will Peyton Manning last?

How long will Sam Bradford last?

Which college team will Chip Kelly leave for sooner than later?

Which pro team will lure Saban? (Colts)

Patriots are going to kill everybody on their revenge tour.

The NFL is humiliated after Ryan Grigson set them up to fail with Deflategate. No more special treatment around the QB and in the secondary for the Colts.

Seabags are the 1 team out of the 8 that will make it. 12% of 0-2 teams make the playoffs so that is about right probability wise. I had Colts, Seahawks, and Eagles all in the playoffs. I initially had the Eagles as a dumpster fire, but changed when I saw them in preseason. My initial guess looks to be more accurate. Colts still have a chance because it is the South and all the teams are not good so someone has to win.

Chip Kelly's plan is failing miserably at this point. What next?

Kelly: Oooooops. Back to college.

Colts will still win that division. If Frank Gore didn't fumble at the goaline and their kicker could make a 30 yarder, that's a different game.

What about those int's?

Jags might surprise.

Last one doesn't happen if the other two events don't. Woulda been a different game.

Not to take away from NY. That defense is excellent.

 

[lionstop1]

Kelly: Oooooops. Back to college.

They might turn it around.

 

[broncosmitty]

Jags might surprise.

Could. But I think they're a year away from that still tbh. Could flirt with .500 or 9-7. But I don't think either gets them the division.

Yep, it sucks watching a defense like that.

 

[lionstop1]

Oh, there was a fumble in there too other than Gore's

I can totally see Irsay going on an oxy cotton and whiskey binge, firing everyone by the bye week and try to run the team himself. He's like Jerry Jones in teenagers clothes.

They better start with the o-line coach then.

Their GM has inexplicably ignored the Oline on draft day for years now. It's causing quite a rift between HC and GM.

What about those int's?

Well Luck isn't named Stafford, so the INTS that lost that particular game are perfectly acceptable. Obviously.

Excuses for other teams losses are the only ones that are ok around here. But the same mitigating factors don't apply to our own team, interestingly enough. The Colts lost because of mistakes "x" "y" and "z", and that's ok, but when the Lions lose its always and only because they suck.

Quite the double-standard, really...

Lombardi should be available soon. I hear his blocking schemes are top notch and not the reason the Lions O-Line sucks right now.

I saw ints, fumbles and a few bad overthrows. Im just saying...

I just dont think thats the case. Just my opinion

But he's got the right name on the back of his jersey, so all that stuff is ok...
