Re: Happy New Year
Someone on Facebook posted something about the "new year". Is this a thing related to the Football season starting? I've just never heard that terminology before.
Go Panthers. And Patriots. And Redskins. And whoever's playing the Cowboys at any given moment. In that order.

Re: Happy New Year
I might have to actually start liking Tony Romo after that 4th Quarter comeback.

Re: Happy New Year
Dallas won because Eli Manning is the worst clock manager of all-time.

Re: Happy New Year
Yes.Dallas won because Jason Witten is still one of the premier tight ends in the league even at his age.

Re: Happy New Year
Hey, I love Witten, but Eli explicitly told Rashad Jennings not to score TWICE. I'm sure it was an order given by a coach, but, come on. They were only up by 3. There's got to be a better balance between running out the clock and actually having enough points to make running out the clock beneficial.

Re: Happy New Year
Hey Gendo, don't look now but the Panthers and the Patriots are the two best teams in football.

Re: Happy New Year
I of course knew they were both doing great; and that people have been talking about the Pats like it's 2007 all over again; but are the Panthers considered better than the other 3-0 teams out there?
Either way, it is indeed a great year so far.

Re: Happy New Year
No, the Panthers are not as good as the Packers/Broncos or even Bengals/Cardinals, but they are technically the #1 seed in the NFC.

Re: Happy New Year
Their only competition in the division is Atlanta, and they don't play each other until late in the season. It will be interesting to see which one declines first. They can't both go undefeated all year. I think Atlanta's much more generally talented, especially on offense, but the Panthers are tricky little fuckers. AND they're winning without Kelvin Benjamin. Very impressive so far.
Edit: OK, I just looked at their schedules. After this coming week against the Bucs, Carolina's got Seattle, Philly, Indy, and Green Bay all in a row. Good luck.

Re: Happy New Year
Bryant and Romo both injured at the same time. This blows.

Haven't you heard? You guys are trading for RG3 and he's going to save your season.

Re: Happy New Year
Wooooooooo such a good year so far! It will be better when the Broncos finally lose a game.
Re: Happy New Year
Also, what's the tie breaker that's putting the Broncos at the #1 seed right now? I guess strength of schedule or something? Not that it matters; both teams can't still be undefeated by the end. Though I guess they could theoretically both end 15-0-1.
Re: Happy New Year
There's a thing called "strength of victory", which is yeah basically strength of schedule. Take the combined winning percentage of teams that they've beaten. So, Denver's just played teams with slightly better records than the Pats. And both of them slightly more than the Bengals.

Re: Happy New Year
Thought so. Of course in this case, strength of victory is going to be identical to strength of schedule.
Re: Happy New Year
Yes.
If the Raiders make the playoffs, there's no telling what will happen to me. The bliss might just consume the whole house.

Re: Happy New Year
Yesterday made me feel better about the Panthers' chances against the Cardinals. But it also made me feel worse about the Patriots. Plus I'm still annoyed about the Panthers' losing the chance at a perfect season last week. The good news is that half of the teams in the NFC playoffs are teams I actually root for.
