NFL Week 13

   BLACKANDGOLDJACKposted 12 years ago

   So 13 is going to be unlucky for somebody.
   
   Big game tonight New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons play for revenge, as the Saints are the only team to beat them, and also to stay ahead of the pack for the number one playoff seed. The Saints are battling for their playoff lives.
   
   Saints have won 7 out of last 8 and 11 out of the last 13 vs. Falcons.
   
   This is a can't miss game for football fans.

   I think Drew Bree's and the Saints will win. The Falcons running game is non existent, as is the Saints, but if its gonna be a shoot out.....you gotta go with Bree's

      Yeah, I agree with you, Alphadogg. The Saints are much more desperate for a win in this one. And don't blink because there should be plenty of touchdowns tonight.
      
      I'm taking the Jets defense in both my fantasy games this week, and if they don't come through, I'm blaming you and wavegirl because of your posts on Week 12.

   The Cardinals have no QB & most likely will try to jump on Beanie Well's back & ride him. IF the Jets defense cant stop him, Wavegirl will not hear the end of it!! lol

      Yeah, and the Jets will stack the box and try to jump on Beanie's back too.
      
      Man, that game last night was a surprise in that Brees and the Saints were so inept offensively. The Falcons defense got more fantasy points than any player in the game. I hope the same thing happens in the Cardinals at Jets game.

      As for last night, what can one say, except the Falcons wanted the win more. Though I got to say I really thought Breezy was going to pull it out, it was Atlanta's defense that kept coming through when it counted.
      
      As for Steeler Nation .. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported there's a "limited chance" Roethlisberger plays against the Ravens, according to a Steelers team source. Breer said that Roethlisberger is regaining strength in his right shoulder, where he sustained an SC sprain just under three weeks ago. The source said Roethlisberger looks "better" in practice, but isn't where he needs to be yet.
      
      @ReneeDC1979 - nice to see you here. A new NFL fan is always welcome and appreciated. Though sorry to say that RG3 once again is not going to enjoy having Tuck, Osi and JPP in his face all day. And Elite Eli has his arm throwing again.  Yes sirreee .. the beatdown New York put on the Green Bay Packers last week served notice to the rest of the league. The Big Blue Wrecking Crew is ready to dance

But I have the Giants in Pick Em. This should be a great game, the one I'm most looking forward to other than the Steelers at Ravens, and I might be sorry I watched that one.

   Hi Renee, RG3 is a one man wrecking crew, buuuuuuut I may have to go with Wavegirl's Giant's, RG3 hasn't seen a front 4 of this caliber. He may be running for his life. I was hoping the Saints would win last night & get my Bears closer to home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Julio Jones is on my fantasy team & did absolutely nothing. BGJ, doesn't look like Big Ben is going play brotha, your Steelers are in trouble.

      BLACKANDGOLDJACKposted 12 years agoin reply to this

      Yeah, Big Ben has been definitely ruled out. So the Steelers go with Charlie Batch to start and Brian Hoyer (who?) as backup. Looks like trouble to me. The Steelers defense has to be awesome to win with no turnovers by the offense.
      
      RGIII ran for 89 and Alfred Morris ran for 120 against the Giants last time in a close win by Big Blue. If the Skins can run the ball like that again they just might win at home. But I think the Giants will contain them better this time. Both teams will put up big numbers in the passing game. But then, I thought that about the Saints and Falcons last night.

         On another note .. .After a four-game winning streak to start the season, the Cardinals have lost seven consecutive games and have fallen behind the competition in the NFC. The Jets also have little hope of reaching the postseason. Jets depending on Tebows ribs may put as Greg McElroy the back up. For a second I thought this was a definite but now it looks like Sexy Rexy says Tebow will be a game-time decision. Uh oh why am I talking about the Jets. .I am supposed to be on my 12 step program.
         
         As for San Diego. .talk about pathetic. The Charger game once again will be blacked out. That makes it 3 times this season.

         What the Skins need for the future is a wide receiver who is a deep threat.
         
         My suggestion would be Mike Wallace. I don't think he is going to be with the Steelers next season, what with being a free agent and wanting so much money. Your owner Daniel Snyder is certainly willing to fork out the money.

    I don't want to say anything too bad about Philip Rivers, wavegirl, since the Steelers play the Chargers next. But yeah, that last series of plays by him and the Chargers when they had a chance to beat the Bengals was pathetic. Of course I was rooting for him, unlike I will be this Sunday. Sure glad I took the Jets defense based upon sage advice by you and Alphadogg. Seahawks D only got 2 points while Jets got 11.
    
    Sweet indeed, prettydarkhorse. Best win of the season so far, by far. Maybe we'll meet up with the Ravens again in the playoffs. But we have business to take care of first to make the playoffs.
    
    Obviously, we have two happy campers today on this thread. And just as obviously, tomorrow we are only going to have one, either the rabid Redskins fan Renee or the rabid Giants fan, wavegirl.
