The official 2013 NFL thread

Another good day for Joe's bookie, another embarrassment for Joe, but hell, he did get one right...out of four.

Picking at random, I got the expected 2 out of 4 right. One of these months he'll beat me.

One last prediction for the night: sometime between here and sunrise, Joe will open his mouth and iggy, all covered in brown, will stick his little head out and announce how much "coinage" Joe's picks enabled him to gain this day. In fact, the only "coinage" iggy and joe picked up today was garnered washing windows at the corner of Viger and Berri.

HEY BOYZZZZZZ!!!

Guess who hit the jackpot with his picks yesterday. That's right...ye olde wizard of the picks Monsieur Merlot. Read it and weep. You know, that's why I hate picking teams. Because it humiliates my buddy Joe...almost as much as his own choices.

Another good day for Joe's bookie, another embarrassment for Joe, but hell, he did get one right...out of four.

I spoke to the bookie yesterday when I collected. I kind of felt a little sorry I took advantage of him since my great football acumen makes it unfair. But he said to me, don't worry. I more than make up for it from everyone else, especially from one regular patsy who throws his money away by betting on his hate against the Patriots every week, and in fact puts most of his cash against them. It's his money you're getting, not mine said the bookie. Well, tell your patsy...many thanks, I said. I will said the bookie. He's regrouting my bathroom tiles for free right now.

Patriots’ defense is the real thing

ATLANTA — Coca-Cola had a slogan in the early 1990s, “Can’t Beat the Real Thing.” Sunday night in Coca-Cola’s hometown the Patriots looked like the real thing, baby.

This is what we wanted to see, needed to see. The Patriots playing an opponent they weren’t obviously better than. The Patriots’ suddenly dominant defense against an accomplished offense, not one with a rookie quarterback or a deposed one at the controls.

The Patriots kicked the Atlanta Falcons, NFC title game participants a year ago, around the Georgia Dome like an empty soda can before hanging on for what was an unnecessarily harrowing 30-23 victory. The Patriots led, 30-13, with 6:23 to go, but had to stave off a furious Falcons rally to move to 4-0 on the season.

Fittingly, the game was sealed when Aqib Talib, who has morphed into Mel Blount, batted away a fourth-down pass from the 10-yard line from Matt Ryan that was intended for Roddy White in the end zone.

That was the fifth red-zone stop in six chances for the Patriots, who like an overly officious bouncer, refused to allow the Falcons entry into the end zone club.

“I mean, it definitely feels good,” said Talib. “You got the whole league watching us, I mean, whole world watching. Everybody picked us to lose. Y’all guys, everybody picked us to lose. Hey, it don’t get no better than that.”

Yes, the Patriots made it look easy for 53 minutes, despite some goofs very late in the 4th quarter. The Falcons were the first real test of this season and the Patriots were in control building a 30-13 lead. They looked better than they had against poor teams...a very good sign.

The Patriots are off to a 4-0 start without Welker, Amendola, or Gronkowski, and currently having to use a ball control running based system they weren't designed for. And then there's Edelman, the former quarterback who has played on defense, punts, kickoffs, and is currently tied for the lead in total receptions. That's called great adaptation and BALLS!

Cheers,

Merlot

I've been meaning to congratulate you, Joe, but I've been too busy reading about your bosom buddy, Curt "No More" Shilling.

I've now been making random picks for 8 weeks, including last season, and this is the first time you've beaten me, Joe. We've tied a few times, but this is #1 for your picks beating mine, picked out of a hat.

And...and...and...you've managed to get most of your season's losses back. Looks like your bookie might have to do his own dishes this week.

So how'd you do this week Mr.t? Ouch...Not so good I see. So much for all your winnings last week :nod:

 

[Joe.t]

I have never seen so many phanthom penalty calls against one team, the NFL clearly wants New England in the playoffs, disgusting!!!!.

 

[rumpleforeskiin]

Another big day for Joe's bookie. Six weeks in, he's now got one week at 4-0, one at 3-1, and four, count 'em, 4 at 1-3. Total: 11-13.

So how does this work out. Let's say he puts down $1000 per game. Down two, that makes $2000. The big times 24 is another $2400. Down $4400 four the season. Nice work, Joe.

Hey Joe.t...HOW'S YOUR VAGINA. :noidea: For the one who keeps attacking Brady for complaining, you sure act like a little crying girl with a major rash problem. Stop crying or get help.

I had a side bet that some habitual whiner would pour out excuses if the Patriots won the game. Thanks for all of the tax free cash Joe. Keep it coming.

Patriots stun Saints as Tom Brady hits Kenbrell Tompkins for game-winning touchdown

PATRIOTS 30, SAINTS 27

FOXBOROUGH – Rob Ryan, the Saints’ defensive coordinator, couldn’t believe it, throwing his long headed-mane back in disgust. He should have. You cannot give Tom Brady three chances to win a game and that is just what the Saints did to fall from the unbeaten ranks at Gillette Stadium Sunday.

All the Saints defense needed was one more stop. All the offense needed was one more first down. But all the Patriots needed was Brady.

Bouncing back from one of the worst games of his career in Cincinnati, Brady’s 17-yard hookup with rookie Kenbrell Tompkins with five seconds left in the game gave the Pats a 30-27 win and his first-ever head-to-head victory against Drew Brees. Holding on to a one-score lead inside the last 3:30, the Saints had stopped Brady on two previous 2:00 drills but couldn’t finish him off. It was a hard lesson on the way to 5-1.

For the 5-1 Patriots, it was a typical win, against all odds, with key players hurt and Brady coming out on top. Now it will fall to the Jets, who came into this weekend hoping to tie for the AFC East lead with a win over the Steelers and a Patriots loss. Now, they’ll be desperate to avoid a second loss to New England, which would put them, in effect, four games back.

But what else is new?

Sure sign of a merciful God...the 0-6 Giants didn't play.

Eli Manning responsible for NY Giants' terrible start

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...ss-mess-eli-giant-shoulders-article-1.1483990

Eli Manning has 15 interceptions as he is on his way to a historically bad season.

In this time in Giants football, they have been Joe Torre and Derek Jeter, that is exactly who Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning have been.

Coughlin and Eli haven’t won as much as Torre and Jeter, who won four World Series and played in two others. But they have been the faces — sometimes Coughlin’s extremely red face — of the best and most thrilling time in all of Giants history, the way the man Jeter called “Mr. Torre” and his shortstop were the faces of the last great Yankee dynasty.

In pro football, they have been our Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, even though Belichick and Brady have played more Super Bowls and won more, and already would be called the greatest team of all time, in all ways, if it hadn’t been for, well, Coughlin and Eli.

But Torre and Jeter never fell like this.

Torre and Jeter never fell like this even when they stopped making it to the World Series, finally couldn’t make it out of the first round of the playoffs together.

Coughlin and Eli have fallen and fallen hard now. You saw it again on Thursday night at Soldier Field when the Giants went to 0-6 against the Bears, would be called the worst team in the sport right now if it weren’t for the Jaguars.

Oh, of course there have been dramatic and disappointing collapses like this for the Giants of Coughlin and Eli before, at the ends of seasons. Just never like this to start a season.

There was the time when they started 6-2 and ended up 8-8 and John Mara, spitting mad, said it felt like 2-14 when it was over. There was the year they gave you the worst fourth quarter any good Giants team has ever given you, against the Eagles, Dec. 19, 2010, when the NFC East was about to be theirs, and then missed the playoffs because of that.

Now comes 0-6 in a year when the general manager, Jerry Reese, put a Super Bowl countdown clock in the team’s locker room because he must have thought it was good enough to make it to the first Sunday in February at MetLife Stadium. And you can talk about everything that has happened, starting with offensive and defensive lines that have been so clearly substandard, particularly the defensive line, an overrated tired fraud shell of what it used to be, at least so far.

Cheers,

Merlot

Washington +1 over Chicago.
Philadelphia -2.5 over Dallas.
Indy +7.5 over Denver.

My sure shot pick is the Jets +5 over the pathetic, overrated, injury depleted, cheating Patriots(common theme among sports teams from Massachusettss), lets see if the officials will get it right this time because last weeks game was a complete farce, officiating at it's worst.

 

[anon_vlad]

Washington +1; Philadelphia -2.5 over Dallas; Indy +7.5 over Denver; Jets +5

I thank Joe for posting his bets so I can ensure I don't go the same way.

I'm wondering on which planet Joe found the last three lines. Does Mars have bookies? Please post the sportsbook in future.

Here's my sportsbook and bets: http://thegreek.com/sportsbook
Chic +1
NE -3.5
K.C. -6
S.F. -3
Denver -6

Hamilton -1.5

That would be +3.5, my point shaving friend.

He needs every possible advantage he can take so adding a couple points to a line is quite normal for Mr.t. He'll use his excuse that he got his lines from the official drug running bookie on the corner in Montreal.

Hahaha. You are so full of shit that your eyes are brown my friend!!

 

[Merlot]

BOYZZZ!

The Patriots are the first team to get ripped on a new rule that says one defensive player cannot push behind another for greater leverage.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...new-england-patriots-new-york-jets-gme-102013

They then addressed a situation that they had been talking about for years when they decided to not allow the defensive team to push one of their teammates into the offensive formation.

It makes no difference where you are originally lined up - Rule 9-1-3, the new rule, says "Team B players cannot push teammates on the line of scrimmage into the offensive formation." That’s exactly what happened in this play.

Hahaha. You are so full of shit that your eyes are brown my friend!!

You know what's funny SK?

First, points-shaving-Joe shouldn't be talking about girlfriends when he's got his buddy with his you know what in his you know where constantly.

Secondly, everything he writes is whining and wetting his diapers about what he hates.

But thirdly, and most pointedly. what ever happened to mentioning his own team? Anyone remember who they are? Why is points-shaving-Joe hiding from their name? Joe's NFL season comes down to pissing about the Patriots and whining about referees because his team the Raiders are TOTAL SUCKSVILLE!

Damn it sucks to be a Yankees/Raiders fan. :lol:

Happy neurosis Joe, :thumb:
