2011-12 NFL Season

[BillD1984]

I got a few predictions on the replacement game. I think it'll be one of these.
Lions @ Saints
Bengals @ Steelers
Broncos @ Vikings
Packers @ Giants
Falcons @ Texans (The least possible prediction)

I'm pretty sure that you can rule out Packers-Giants. Both Fox and CBS can protect five games each between Weeks 10 and 15 (week 16 is Xmas Night and Bears-Packers is locked in there, and week 17 the entire schedule is subject to the flex), I saw the list earlier this year, and I'm pretty sure GB-NYG was one of the games Fox protected.

I think the game to be flexed in will be Lions-Saints, with Falcons-Texans and Bengals-Steelers also in the running. I think you can all but rule out Broncos-Vikings.

I'd expect Bengals-Steelers, division matchup and Steelers are good ratings. if Bengals win this weekend I'd almost guarantee the rematch in a couple weeks is the SNF game.

The NFL has already announced that the Dec. 4 Colts at Pats game has been flexed out of primetime, and moved to 1:00pm ET. A replacement game for NBC has not yet been announced.No big surprise there.....

Just goes to show how valuable Peyton was to the Colts.With him- flawed in some areas, but double-digit wins each year.Without him, it's sad to watch at times.

With everyone talking about Tebow, you figure if the Broncos win the next 2 games, it's a possibility.

 

[meStevo]

Nothing makes a Viking game this season worth flexing at their current pace.

I guess McFadden isn't officially out, but as of today LaConfora says he can't even walk on the foot, he won't be playing.

Where is all the indignation in support of Albert Haynesworth that we saw last year around here???

Forget Tebowing, here's the Dymeboogie

Marcus Thomas' "false start dance" going viral
By LINDSAY JONES

Marcus Thomas is a big guy who can move. Perhaps you remember seeing photos or video Thomas' standing black flip during a training camp practice when he was a rookie in 2007?

Hopefully by now you've seen the video of Thomas getting down after drawing a false start in Sunday's game in Oakland. I've seen Thomas do this move before — it's a variation on an individual pass rush drill. Watch the clip below:





Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams, one of Thomas' closest friends on the team, took to his Twitter account Tuesday morning to inspire others to submit videos of similar silly dances. Williams is pitching it as the new Tebowing. The players are calling it the "Dymeboogie."

As Thomas wrote on Twitter: "Dymeboogie is an spontaneous spurt of quick unnessary movements that mostly occurs in the most awkward moments"

Not in support of Haynesworth...it was more AGAINST Shanahan.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Here's a "dream team(but only if your dream is a 'Freddy Krueger' nightmare)," Albert Haynesworth at defensive tackle,Chad Ochocinco & Terrell Owens at wide receiver,& Tiki Barber at running back.

11 of 16 AFC teams in first place in their division or one game from it. Most since the 2002 realignment.

Blame it on Goodell! Parity?

Parity started way before Goodell.

I wonder, how many of those teams have a legit chance of winning a playoff game....much less the SB?
