Around the NFL (week 12)

Are you serious?!?!
Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills wideout, blames God on Twitter after dropping game-winning pass (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/2010/11/28/2010-11-28_stevie_johnson_buffalo_bills_wideout_blames_god _on_twitter_after_dropping_gamewi.html) "I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!!" the 24-year-old tweeted from his iPad at around 5:15 Sunday after the Steelers' 19-16 overtime victory. "AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO..."


Guess he forgot to consider the fact that it is God who allows him to make millions dropping balls while kids all over the world are starving to death.

Can't give the holy him the credit for every win/touchdown/whatever and not expect him to take the blame for the bad. Fair's fair.:cheeky-sm

Yeah it's about time God started taking his fair share of the blame. LOL

The guy gets way too much credit.

Immediately after the game, in his post-game interviews SJ was pretty hard on himself. Saying he would never forget or forgive himself for what he failed to do.

Well, at least that is not blasphemy. /sarc

Too bad we're not in the NFC West....

...the 49ers are 4-7 and just a game out of first place in the NFC West after Monday night's victory.

If the playoffs started today, only one of these 7-4 teams: Giants, Green Bay or Tampa Bay would be in the playoffs as a wildcard (the other wildcard would be 8-3 New Orleans) and the other two 7-4 teams would be out of it. Meanwhile the NFC West Division winner would be St. Louis with their 5-6 record. I think we may see this year a sub .500 team in the playoffs coming out of the NFC West.

Word. No Giants to sweep us every year based on talent alone.

Then again, we'd be the oldest team in a division with Frank Gore, Larry Fitz, and Sam Bradford (I view Bradford as a stud).

And their AFC opponent is the West as well. I know the AFC West looks better this year, but it's still a pretty weak group overall. The NFC West is a legitimate joke. While I like the division structure, I think the NFL could and should put a proviso in that no sub .500 team, even a division winner, can be in the playoffs if there are any .500 or better teams. Basically if a division can't produce 1 .500 team, the division loses it's right to a playoff spot that year.

I am thinking that this year is the year that a 7-9 team wins the division in the NFC West. Last weekend while I was playing madden, in that division there were two teams at 7-9 tied for first place, and the 49ers were the winners, and they went all the way to the championship game!!! If they would have went to the superbowl, i would have recorded it and uploaded it here somehow...a 7-9 team making it all the way to the superbowl!!

On Madden, remember that is fantasy not reality.

I think someone will get to at least 8 wins in the west.
