2011-12 NFL Season

[HD MM]

Browns remaining schedule with the opponents in BOLD as definite wins......

vs. Jags
@ Cincy
vs. Ravens
@ Pittsburgh
@ Arizona
@ Baltimore
vs. Pittsburgh

This is embarrassing. Good thing is, we'll have two high first round picks in next year's draft!

 

[The Insider]

Two Clubs

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule.
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in common games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.


According to the tie breaker rules, WHERE does Denver own the tie breaker over Oakland?

Well Oakland beat Denver by like 3 points. Devener beat Oakland by 14

 

[The Insider]

The only team in the AFC West that controls their own destiny is Oakland. Denver would need help to win the division.

True, you have Chicago and Green Bay who will most likely be loss's. Then you have the Lions who could go either way but certainly leaning toward loss.

Then you play San Diego who came close to beating you last time, and a good chance that game is a coin flip.

You face Kansas city who you should beat (as they have lost there starting QB) even though they beat you last game.

Then of course you have Miami who you should beat but man they are playing like a new team.

And the vikings well you should win easy.

I could see the raiders going 3-4 maybe 4-3 for the rest of the year.. Which is exactly where I peg Denver going.

So they very well could be tied at the end of the year.

And with the head to head, Denver gets the edge because its win was best. Then it also has best division record if it beats both SD and KC. as Oakland will of won and lost a game from each conference foe where as Denver would of beat KC twice and beat SD and Oakland once. That is if SD can beat you this next game.

They do have the easiest road to the playoffs left of all the AFC West Teams.. But after thursday's game against the Jets if it turns out to be a win, I would bet the house on Denver winning the AFC West.

The NFL has announced that there will be no changes to the Week 12 schedule. The Steelers-Chiefs game will remain the SNF game for Nov. 27.

Also, the NFL has to announce by next Tuesday (Nov. 22) which game will replace Colts-Pats on the SNF game Dec. 4

There really wasn't a whole lot of alternatives for that SNF game. I'm the Bears-Raiders game and the Broncos-Chargers game got protected by CBS and FOX. The Bills-Jets is also a good option but figuring that the Jets were just on SNF last Sunday and lost, I'm sure NBC and NFL didn't want to choose them again.

well it couldnt be as bad as the Vikes last night....

There are no "for sure wins" in the NFL.

The phenomenon that is Tebow..

Rift Over Tim Tebow Custom 'Jesus' Jerseys

He's the model citizen, the guy you want your daughter to date, yet Tim Tebow can't help being the most polarizing figure in all of professional sports.

And during the upcoming holiday shopping season, Tebow is going to get even more controversial -- once again without any action on his part.

A handful of Denver fans have decided a customized Tim Tebow jersey would make for the perfect Christmas gift. What could possibly be troubling about that? A whole lot, depending on who you ask.

Rather than have the last name "Tebow" on the back of the Broncos jersey, these fans have placed "Jesus" above Tebow's No. 15.

Not everyone thinks it's appropriate. Some fans told CNN (via KTVQ) that the new custom apparel is blasphemous.

"Sports is one thing, and Jesus is another thing," Traci Yown, a mom Christmas shopping for her son told the network. "I like to have their names, their last names on the jerseys. I'm a Christian, but I mean I wouldn't want people going around having Jesus on the back of their jerseys."

But Rev. Marcus Buckley of a Baptist Church in Greer, S.C., believes those who speak out against such public displays of religion are haters.

"To me it just shows a cultural bias against Christ and Christianity," Rev. Buckley said.

Bears-Raiders was protected by FOX, and Pats-Eagles was protected by CBS. So either Broncos-Chargers or Bills-Jets could have replaced Steelers-Chiefs.

IMO, there are two factors at play here:

1. The Jets, Bills and Chargers were ALL terrible in their respective last games, and all have the look of going in the wrong direction.

2. You usually can't go wrong with the Steelers when it comes to ratings. I think it was the safer bet to keep this game.

 

[SabresRule]

Kansas City, though they've lost two inexplicable games at home and are going into Foxboro without Cassel (gulp), they're not out of the AFC Wesr (the "Anybody can win this division" division).

They would still be in the division race going into that game

Interesting that CBS protected Pats-Eagles instead of Broncos-Chargers. But I guess even those the Eagles are sucking right now, they're still a high-profile team which I guess that's why CBS protected that game.

Both Fox and CBS had to submit which five games they were protecting after week 4. CBS also protected Pats-Redskins, Jets-Eagles and Jets-Redskins. None of those games look like they will be in danger of moving to primetime.

Redskins games? I wouldn't even protect them and I am a fan.

Do you know what games FOX protected?
EDIT: I know one of them is Packers-Giants for Week 13.
