NFL 2014 season thread: The good, the bad, & the ugly.

I saw that thread, pretty cool.
Now if only I followed the other NFL teams more closely.

 

Not a bad foorball weekend for me, four out of five.

1. The Texans won . Not impressively, but after 2-14 last year us Texans fans will take what we can get.
The Texans defense held the Redskins to one TD, that was with Clowney missing the second half. The bad news is he'll be out four-to-six weeks with a knee injury.

2. The cowgirls lost . In Dallas. In front of cowgirls fans . Yeah, baby, yeah!!

3. The UH Cougars won .

4. The longhorns lost. At home in Austin. Ha, ha, ha.

5. Unfortunately, the aggies won .

 

In this case the evidence against Rice pretty overwhelming. What will the NFL do in cases of "she said, he said" with little physical and/or visual evidence to support either side?

One of our local sports TV journalists who's been around forever took the NFL to task for not getting a copy of the video from inside the elevator sooner. He said the NFL asking the police for all of the evidence wasn't enough, that they had the resources to get a copy of the new video if they were serious about the investigation. I don't see the police jeopardizing an active investigation by accomodating the NFL.

 

what gets me is that goodell is trying to make it a standard 6 game suspension if you are accused of it. not satying its right or wrong but what happened to due process

 

There were quite a few upsets. I need to check Rogue's "pick 'em" thread.

 

and keeps going

 

RG III is on the sidelines wincing in pain and it looks bad ; Kurt Cousins comes in and throws TD.

 

Wow. I was impressed with the Texans, even though a win over not so great team with a rookie QB (Uh, Chris, weren't the Texans 2-14 last year?) doesn't necessarily mean that much (the Texans started their 2-14 season 2-0). Who cares about Fitzpatricks' passing yards when the Texans win?

The Saints are 0-2. Can somebody who actually follows the NFL explain what has happened to the Saints over the last couple of years?

The Seahaks lost to the Chargers. Does this mean that the Chargers have figured out how to win games instead of giving them away?

Most unfortunately, the cowgirls won. The positive is the Titans' loss could help the Texans depending on how the season goes.

How did your team(s) do?

Has the QB debate in Washington been started yet again?

 

holy shit, im 2-0, that never happens

 

You're 2-0? What position do you play?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I used to use that line on the guys who talked as though they actually played for their teams, namely dallas cowgirls fans.

Don't worry, the Falcons still have 14 games in which to collapse (says a Texans fan ).

 

I guess that parity is a reality in the NFL. Obviously there are really lousy teams that never seem to improve (a form of parity?), but I'm not seeing any dynasties among the top teams.

Patriots? Steelers? Saints? Ravens? Giants (wth happened?), Broncos losing 43-8? 49ers?

 

I'm a 49ers fan going way back to when they used to keep the cowgirls out of the SB, two years in a row IIRC.
