Around the League: WEEK 1 Baby!

[CRedskinsRule]

I've gone rant on Snyder many times (probably one of the few who rant positive on him) BUT a short version is, Snyder has been through about 5 iterations of trying to get it right, each time letting a little more of himself be lost and more of football minds run the show. I know until he wins SB's many fans will see him as the 1999-2004 owner but for me, I see positive steps each iteration, and I think we are finally at the point where the next stages are moving into the upper echelon of teams. This all is offseason stuff though.

pessimistic/optimistic lets all agree

It's Redskins Kickoff in less than 48 hours!!!

GO SKINS!

Tough loss for GB. I hate saying "what if", but I feel that in last night's game GB got bad luck in some areas (losing Bulaga and Lacy) and shot themselves in the foot in other (dropping two INTs and turning the ball over on downs in the 3rd quarter).

That dude can't stay healthy

my old sig used to be a scout comment on bulaga in the nagatives section of the report-
"fails to lock onto defenders, instead prefers to violently shove them to the ground and then look for others."

about as bad ass as it gets imo

pretty funny ad for Madden 15

That guy who replaced Bulaga had a horrible game. Poor Aaron Rodgers.

From Business Insider:

Microsoft's Cortana, the Windows phone virtual assistant that correctly predicted 15 of 16 World Cup knockout stage games, is back for the NFL season.
The predictions come from a model by Bing Predicts that takes into account 2013 results, offensive and defensive stats, margin of victory, location, weather, and public sentiment (which is meant to help identify real-time factors such as injuries).

Since the model just picks a winner and doesn't predict a score against the spread, the hit rate should be well over 50%.

Cortana did well at the World Cup, and even picked Germany over Brazil in the semifinal when other statistical models had Brazil as the heavy favorite. So if you're the gambling sort, it might be wise to take these picks into account.

Here are the Bing Predicts odds for Week 1:

Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks — Seahawks win (74.2% chance)
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons — Falcons win (61.4% chance)
Minnesota Vikings at St. Louis Rams — Rams win (67.4% chance)
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers — Steelers win (70.2% chance)
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Philadelphia Eagles — Eagles win (75.4% chance)
Oakland Raiders at New York Jets — Jets win (62.9% chance)
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens — Ravens win (59.8% chance)
Buffalo Bills at Chicago Bears — Bears win (64.4% chance)
Washington Redskins at Houston Texans — Texans win (51% chance)
Tennessee Titans at Kansas City Chiefs — Chiefs win (64.4% chance)
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins — Patriots win (61.4% chance)
Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Buccaneers win (56.6% chance)
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys — 49ers win (68.8% chance)
Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos — Broncos win (77.8% chance)
New York Giants at Detroit Lions — Lions win (61.4%% chance)
San Diego Chargers at Arizona Cardinals — Cardinals win (58.2% chance)

I think the model got one wrong.

8-6 so far

Looks like the NFC Least might go 1-3 this weekend. If Jacksonville wasn't Jacksonville it would be 0-4. Thanks for blowing a nice opportunity Skins.

Rodgers didn't have a good game regardless. Bitching out his rookie center, not running for a clear first down when he had the chance, etc. I didn't like the Packers plan either, they played it too conservative.

I know right! Felt like watching shotgun formation Marty ball. Delayed handoffs on 1st and 2nd down and some slants and curls on 3rd.
