2013-14 NFL Discussion Thread

[Jon]

my friend is kicking himself in the ass because he traded payton manning for Darren Sprolls because he has Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers as his QBs

Your friend is a horrible Fantasy drafter then.

Your friend is a horrible Fantasy drafter then.

This.

3 of the top 4 QBs AND ONLY TRADES ONE OF THEM FOR JUST SPROLES?!

He deserves an 0-12 record.

[The TeeJ of Philly]

Can I point something out.

http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/40484/179/2012-offensive-line-rankings?pg=3

Look at the list of the bottom offensive lines from last season. Vikings, Seahawks, Redskins, Falcons, AND Colts all made the playoffs. The Vikings had the 2nd ranked all time rusher and the Skins, Seahawks, and Colts had three of the top rookie QBs of all time playing for them. The Falcons were the top team in the NFC and they're on the list. The Bears won 10 games and they're on the list. My point is preseason rankings aren't going to matter badly the offensive lines are ranked before hand. Things happen, teams can gain momentum, and kick some ass regardless of the talent level.

Yes, but Vikings, Redskins, and Colt can't pass block worth shit. Seahawks, I don't get, but Falcons can't run. THe reason why Arizona and Chargers are the bottom two are because they can't do either.

Guess who was the second most sacked QB? Phillip Rivers. Who had the second worst team yards per rush average? San Diego.

ANd guess who didn't do anything to improve it.

Whale's Vagina that's who.

[GM Franchise]

Well at least they'll finish above the Raiders... 

[Cory]

Falcons can't run? Jackson is still a near-elite back, theyll move the ball at will this season.....defensivly however is a glaring weakness.

[¿PapaPancho?]

Denario Alexander had the potential to be #1 in a couple seasons. Injuries killing us but the chargers are shit right now. Rather they go broke for the draft

Never should have let Merriman get caught with Roids. Been downhill since then.

Madden NFL 25 Simulation for the Regular Season

A couple of guys here at the NFL Network studios were having a conversation about "Breaking Bad" the other day, when somebody walked into the room and said, "Don't spoil anything!" You figured the aforementioned person might have been an episode or two behind and didn't want to hear the conversation.

But no, this person was actually six seasons behind.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Spoilers are out of control, people. I mean, you can't even have a "Star Wars" conversation without somebody getting bent out of shape about it.

With that in mind, let me give you the appropriate spoiler alert because Madden NFL 25 ran a simulation on the entire season to see exactly what is going to happen. If you don't want the upcoming season ruined for you, I suggest you turn away.

Again, please turn away...

1. Here are your AFC Playoff teams in order, according to Madden: The New England Patriots, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. So, there's going to be no difference in last year's playoff teams? Well, that's not going to happen. There is too much turnover from year to year in the NFL for all six teams to make the playoffs.


NFL Exposure
Madden Next Gen Team
Madden Next Gen will follow 25 NFL players throughout the Season. Fans can rank this list each week based on performance. This ranking will influence the rankings in Madden 25.
2. The Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins will finish 8-8.

3. Your NFC playoff teams: The San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins. Well at least Madden NFL 25 understood the Vikings were a bit fortunate last year to make the playoffs. And proper deference was given to the return of Sean Payton.

4. The team that owns the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft: The New York Jets. No surprise there. The St. Louis football club takes the second pick. You might as well use the relocation feature if that was to happen in St. Louis.

5. What about Adrian Peterson? He falls short of his goal of 2,500 yards, but he is simulated to rush for 2,139 yards. So Peterson still would become the first player in NFL history with back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.

6. Peyton Manning is on pace for 112 touchdown passes this season. This makes Madden's simulation of 43 touchdown passes seem a little less gaudy. At least Madden realizes Manning still has trouble winning in the playoffs. Manning also goes for 5,323 yards.

7. No word if C.J. Spiller pukes during his run toward 1,504 yards, which is good for third in the NFL behind Peterson and Jamaal Charles, who goes for 1,886.

8. Calvin Johnson doesn't reach 2,000 receiving yards. Neither does Dez Bryant. The simulation has Johnson going for 1,839 yards. Check the injury rating, but Danny Amendola was simulated for 125 receptions for 1,324 yards and seven touchdowns.

9. Your award winners are Peyton Manning as MVP and Jim Harbaugh as Coach of the Year. I think sports writers have already voted Manning as the winner of the 2013 NFL MVP after Thursday night, so this makes sense.

10. But let's get down to the brass tax, who wins in the playoffs? Well, I already told you the Broncos lose. Madden NFL 25 has the Texans beating the Patriots to move on to the Super Bowl, while the 49ers hang on to beat the Redskins.

Who takes the Super Bowl? Well, we don't want to spoil everything for you.

Last year. That's what they're basing it off of as well as if they did anything to improve that on the line.

Before the Seahawks made it cool to cheat on roids ... the Chargers were doing it first.  Merriman, Castillo to name a few.

The Chargers were trendsetters. The rest of the league just played follow the leader.

[Cory]

...god Merriman was a freak for 2 seasons.

He was fun to watch those two seasons though.

Won't lie, I still do the light switch celebration when playing rough touch.

rough touch as in football, or rough tough as in homage to what he did to Tila Tequilla
