Around the NFL Week 17

Hopefully this is one of those schedules that looks much harder then it actually is. I mean the AFC North and NFC South on top of an NFC East schedule?

Redskins’ opponents, sites set for 2012
By Barry Svrluga
The Redskins’ opponents for 2012 – home and away – are now set.

In addition to home and away games against their regular NFC East opponents, they will face all four teams from the AFC North, with trips to Cleveland and Pittsburgh and home games against Baltimore and Cincinnati.

They face the NFC South, with games at New Orleans and Tampa Bay and home dates against Carolina and Atlanta. And they will host Minnesota, the last-place team from the NFC North, and play at St. Louis, the last-place team from the NFC West. It will be the fifth straight year the Redskins will face the Rams.

I'm still laughing at that comment a few weeks back about Stafford not worth the #1 pick...lol



When the Lions get a secondary, that team is going to be deadly.I think Stafford has been really excellent the last two weeks. Really excellent. I don't care if he lost today. The Lions-Saints game is going to be very different than it was a couple weeks ago.

I think you can ask any film guy you want and they'll tell you that Stafford is a really erratic passer.

Considering how often you open your mouth and insert your foot (figuratively speaking, of course), I think it's only fair that if I change my opinion on Stafford's value, I do so with a tip of a cap to those who pointed out my errors. I mean, if I was wrong all the time, I would hope someone would do that for me. Not that I would know.

Right now, two good weeks is just two good weeks: if Stafford completes less than 50% of his passes against the Saints in a blowout loss, I suppose (actually I know) you probably won't be around to question yourself. You know, with everyone already doing that for you.

But I'm actually expecting him to play well against New Orleans. He's been one of the stars on the Detroit offense (and the NFL) the last two weeks instead of someone just along for the ride. And that's a big difference from just a month ago when Chicago and Green Bay made him look like a rookie.

Sixth pick is a good spot

I haven't done the math on this, but do the Cowboys miss the playoffs if they lose?

Not after signing Fitzpatrick to that huge contract after a roaring start.

Whoever wins is in, loser goes home

It's hard to find words to describe the Cowboys performance thus far, but if I had to find one, I'd go with:

Cold.

Fan-f-ing-tastic! :D

Bills had some injuries, including their best offensive player (F. Jackson) and defensive player (Williams). If they are smart about their acquisitions, they could be a solid team in a tough division.
