This Football Season

Now that we're almost half way through the season, how are you guys feeling about it? Who are your teams? How do you think they're doing? All that crap.

Personally, being a New England fan, I've enjoyed this season but it's been way too tense. We're winning, but IMO we're winning out of sheer luck. Brady has been off this season, we've got all rookie receivers + Gronk lol. Our 2 best hands (Gronk + Amendola) are constantly getting injured... I don't know. We're looking good on paper but every game is another ulcer. lol

It's not that Brady's off. It's his WR's are constantly dropping balls. Look up the drop rate of his receivers and it's the highest in the NFL.

Personally I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan(NFL) but they're doing bad this year. I honestly can't stand Flacco and I said that last year and the year before that. He's not good IMO. I'd rather have Geno Smith, at least he can make plays. I would like to see them trade Flacco off and go for Tajh Boyd from Clemson if they can get him. Otherwise any QB besides Flacco would be my pick.

Now as far as college goes, I'm a die hard FSU(Florida State) fan and we're dominating. I'm laughing at all these teams like Baylor and Ohio State that are claiming they should compete for the Title. While I'm not arguing that Baylor and OSU are good teams, they're clearly not on the same level as Alabama & FSU. If either of those two teams played Oregon, Baylor & OSU it would be a blowout.

OSU's most impressive win is against a Northwestern team that isn't even ranked anymore, and they struggled with that game, the Wisconsin game, Iowa. Not to mention Illinois racked up points on them. OSU has a weak Defense.

Now Baylor's most impressive win is against a fading Oklahoma team. Baylor of all of the top 5 has the weakest defense and it's always been known that Big 12 doesn't have defense. Big 12 is known for their offense, like SEC is known for their defense.

Oregon has a good team and a high powered offense, but what happened when they met an above average defense like Stanford? Their offense was put in check.

Alabama has a good defense, but they favor heavy on the run defense. Their pass defense is average because they lack a shutdown corner. They were exploited by TAMU when Manziel burned them in passing. While I would love to see Auburn beat Alabama, I don't see it happening because Auburn has a weak passing game and while they do have homefield advantage, it can only work so much for you.

FSU destroyed Clemson @ Death Valley which is one of your hardest places to play, and our QB is a redshirt Freshman. We have too many weapons on offense to be stopped. Not to mention we have a sick defense which is probably one of the better ones that I've seen in a decade, maybe tied with the 2011 Alabama's defense. We shut Miami down, and we cleaned house with Maryland(63-0, which shut West Virginia down(32-0 or something), and West Virginia scored like 30-40 points on Baylor?).

The main difference is that all teams have good days and bad days, but when a team can still dominate on a bad day or come back and pull the win. That's the difference.

I think the BCS NC game will be Alabama & FSU. I think we have the defense to shut Alabama down early and keep them quiet, so I'd say the game will end up being like 38-10.
