ILNFL sandbox thread, because you shouldn't pass up a chance to LOL @ the NY Giants

It looks like the draft order for teams with similar win totals goes to strength of schedule, then Division tiebreakers (the same as to determine which team wins a division, apparently), Conference tiebreakers (same), and then a coin flip.

I would guess Colts have the weaker schedule from quick glance (Vikings played the Packers twice, Detroit twice, the NFC South has two good teams and the AFC West is blandly OK; Rams play SF twice, Saints, Packers, Ravens, and Steelers), but I dunno.

Hahaha xp

vikings have the strength of schedule disadvantage, but they can conceivably have that turn around in the next two weeks.

also, the colts are playing blaine gabbert next week.

deion said something like "they can trade up and steal, they can trade back and steal.."

^is honestly the single most mystifying thing i ve ever heard not even just sports-wise

deion koan

guys, plz to explain why the colts just (potentially) walked away from the andrew luck/first pick trade motherlode sweepstakes.

danny o. should've kneeled on the one after that p.i. call.

Colts get the #1 pick, trade up to the heavens for the ability to restore Peyton Manning to permanent glory in exchange for the rights to Andrew Luck plus Austin Collie's soul (he is from BYU so it is prob pure), naming rights to Lucas Oil Stadium, and a 2013 3rd Rounder.

danny o has triplets imminent! hes goin all out

tbf I think Danny O doesn't give a shit about the Andrew Luck sweepstakes (nor should he), and it probably isn't in the interests of most of the other players if the Colts end up getting their QB for the next decade. They'll remember this season, and this game, well after they're out of football, until the chronic traumatic encephalopathy wipes it away.

well look at that, they don't want luck that bad after all.

speaking of which...:(

Houston fans have to hate playing Indy. They have beaten the tar out of them quite a few times like tonight where they grab defeat out of the jaws of victory.

The worst one had to be that one a couple years back when Sage Rosenfelds pretty much worked with Peyton Manning to blow a 2 TD lead with like not much time at all on the clock.

Indy would be at least a .500 club with Manning. Their defense is total shite again, but they lost a bunch of games where even if Orlovsky would have been the starter they would have perhaps won. I think he is actually somewhat competant.

The Rosencopter!

Oh yes...that was one to remember.

Dumb and weird thing was other than blowing the game, Rosenfeld was actually kind of effective as their Qb when he played for them that year. (Their defense turned to mush both of the last two seasons in the second half from injuries if I remember right.)

yeah as mindboggling as rosencopter was, most Texans fans remember Sage fondly and think he didn't really get a fair shake.

Memo...unless you are John Elway, don't try to play like you are John Elway, even though it looks cool.

You got to have at least a servicable NFL name...Sage Rosenfels sounds like an agent (no offense intended).

If your name is Billy Joe Tolliver or Cortez Kennedy, you at least sound like you might be an NFL player.

good name for a kicker.

I can feel for Houston fans, there is nothing more helpless than having it all there and your QB going down and even though you will make the playoffs, there isn't a damn thing this side of Jeff Hostetler that will really make a difference.

again the thread title is otm

brandon jacobs overdrive

yeah that was o_o

gawd, the giants look horrific

didn't the jets defense just give up like 854 points to the eagles last week?

rayner misses a 31 yd fg

brandon marshall has this problem where he can't catch the ball

i still have not tired of the concept 'revis island'

brandon marshall makes two catches for 50 something yards. dolphins 10-0

jerome simpson ridic flip into end zone

do the pats have the 1 seed locked up?

no

wtf is wrong w blackburn

illegal touching on the kicking team & giants on the 1? that makes no sense
