NFL 2012 Week 8 Thread

Falcons at Eagles

Raiders at Chiefs

Seahawks at Lions

Patriots vs. Rams

Giants at Cowboys

That Falcons-Eagles pick was killing me. But like someone else mentioned, I can't pick all road teams, so Eagles it is.

I just picked the Eagles because of the 13-0 off the bye week thing. You get to that point and it stops seeming like a coincidence.

Tannehill goes down for the Dolphins. Ouch.

Dammit Shorts, you need to catch that.

Dolphins game isn't on in Houston. What's the diagnosis?

Fun fact: Tannelhill was going to medical school if he wasn't drafted.

Quad injury. Not thought to be serious.

All Matt Moore does is win.

Their special teams stepped up and got a punt block TD, and the defense is making Sanchez look as terrible as always. They're up 20-0 at this point and probably don't need him to return.

Only Sanchez makes Sanchez look awful.

Thought the Titans were going to score off a blocked FG. They got the return back past midfield as time expired.

Haha. Jets FG blocked. Still no points at the half.

Time to start Tebow?

Holy crap. Gabbert throws a touchdown... to Guy Whimper.

Whimper catches the ball better than he pass blocks.

Damnit Legion, you beat me to it. I almost dropped my daughter I was so shocked.

It really shouldn't be a surprise. If Whimper does one thing well, it's holding.

*EDIT*

Only 1 team has been shut out this season. The NY Jets. They are down 20-0 at the half and look horrible.

I don't know what Mularkey did in the bye week, but Blaine Gabbert has been "on" since.

I sure hope it keeps. Still a long way to go but the talent is finally starting to peek through.

So, is Vick done?

Career TD receptions: Guy Whimper, 1. Justin Blackmon, 0.

Blackmon has actually been a big part of the improvement of the past couple of weeks. He's starting to run better routes. Still needs to concentrate on the routine catches.

Really wish he had been there for camp. Him and Shorts are the talent in the receiving corps but both still very in need of further polish.

Is it me, or has there been an insane amount of blocked punts/FGs today?

Umm..why does Rodgers only have 102 yards against Jacksonville?

Yeah special teams is playing great (or poorly, depending on your perspective) today.

Lions!

Seachickens!

Looks like I should have went with the Falcons. Bye week and road team be damned, Vick is just awful enough, and the Falcons are just good enough, to ruin Reid's streak.

Plus I felt dirty picking the Eagles anyway. :p

Yeah, that is a game I don't feel bad for getting wrong.

Dammit Blackmon, get your feet inbounds.

Titans screwed on a no fumble call. Overtime...

Blackmon, get your head out of your ass.

f*cking officials. I'm pretty sure Titans had some replacement refs this week. Game should have never made it to OT.

The announcers were dogging him too. 3 of the last 4 plays he screwed up. Pretty terrible.
