Questions About Nfl Com

Steven asks…

NFL.com??????

Is the content of "Weekly Leaders" under the "Stats" tab on NFL.com updated in real-time, as NFL games are played, or is it updated at the end of each week?

admin answers:

Well they update during gametime but I prefer ESPN.com's scoreboard under NFL its presented better than NFL.com's. ESPN is the worldwide leader in sports and rightfully so their website is accurate and awesome!

Michael asks…

When I open nfl.com, it open up in a different language. How do I get it back to english?

Everytime I open website http:\www.nfl.com, it opens up in a language other than english. I think it spanish or french. How do I get it back to englis? I am having this same problem with internet explorer and firefox. Please help. Thanks

admin answers:

The site for the National Football Association? I don't see any language-changing link. And when I logged-on to check, it looks fine to me; it's in English.

If does have a link marked "idioma" or "langue" (respectively Spanish and French for "language"), click it and it might say "English/Spanish/French", "Inglés/Español/Francés" and/or "Anglais/Espagnol/Français." Then click that.

Hope I've been helpful to you. Otherwise, check with your computer repair person. Good luck.

Questions About Nfl Bye Weeks Espn

Donna asks…

What the hell is going on with Travis Henry? Is he still NFL eligible?

I am looking for a backup back for my fantasy team, and ESPN says he has a bye week every week. The reasoning for me wondering this is that I signed Torrain for this past week and well, you know what happened to him, and the RB situation for Denver. So I was wondering if you guys think the Broncos might pick him back up or if he is suspended.

admin answers:

He's suspended by NFL indefinitely plus on top of that he got busted for drug trafficking.

David asks…

NFL FANS You tired of the little wimp Mike Greeney on espn MIKE AND MIKE..does he annoy u?

he a weenie and he's bias...on his t.v show he said.."am i the only one that notic ed if the bears had cutler they would win the game easily against the raiders"...that just shows how bias he is against westcoast teams...he failed to notice or say the raiders were playing without McFadden and two of their best receivers ford and moore and heyward bey was still inured and barely played in the game...not 2 mention ford and morre are great on punt and kick returns...he always talks about the same thing week after week he talks about the jets even when they have a bye week...u guys agree with me? tell me whats ur beef with him is if u he does annoy u
with mcfadden and moore and ford and a healthy bey the raiders would have easily whooped on the bears even with cutler

admin answers:

I don't mind him. Almost every analyst has something to say that I won't agree with.

The only analyst that truly bothers me is Skip Bayless. Can't stand him.

Sandy asks…

Did the Browns fire the right guy?

Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis was ousted Monday, a league source confirmed to ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen, but team owner Randy Lerner said coach Eric Mangini would not be joining him.

Television station WKYC and the Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported Monday night that Kokinis was ushered out of the Berea facility by security around lunchtime Monday. Kokinis was brought in to helm the team after the Browns had hired Mangini, who coached last year with the New York Jets.

A source initially said Kokinis had been fired, but sources later told Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter the team has not announced the move because it is working on a settlement with Kokinis in which he would resign, but he has thus far refused the deal.

An upset Lerner told the Plain Dealer and Beacon-Journal on Sunday that he would not fire Mangini during the club's bye week. Lerner did say he would like to bring in a "strong, credible, serious leader" to help run his team.

Kokinis, who had 18 years worth of NFL experience, was the final voice on the Browns' 53-man roster.

admin answers:

Well, I think firing the right guy would entail firing Lerner but since he's the owner that's just not going to happen. Between Kokonis and Mangini though, blame has to be laid at the head coach's feet first and he should be the one axed. By hiring Mangini before hiring a GM, Lerner essentially neutered Kokonis and it will be impossible to find a "strong, credible, serious leader" to fill that position as long as Mangini is still there.

Laura asks…

Who should i start week 7? (Sorry, wall of text)?

Who should i start week 7?
Okay so im in a little bind.

QB:
Eli Manning VS SF
Matt Schuab VS Det

Schuabs been hot and he's playing DET, need i say more?
Eli Manning is Cold and is Playing the 9ers, problem is the 9ers have like 9INTS this season compared to DETs 2 INTS this season. Manning is more reliable, but had a HORRIBLE game vs CLE last monday.
I'm leaning towards schuab.
My RB's are:
Frank Gore @NYG
Sammy Morris vs Den
M. Moore @CIN
A.Peterson @CHI
Willis McGahee @Miami (already decided on benching him)

NYG hasn't allowed 1RB this season to break 100yards.
Willie Parker is out and Moore is starting vs the worst Run D in the NFL
Maroney and Jordan are both out for NE playing at home VS DEN who's run D is pretty bad
AP vs a CHI D that's apparently all banged up (according to cbssports.com.

WR-wise im a pretty weak:

Andre Johnson
Lance Moore @CAR
Marques Colston @CAR (will be playing according to ESPN)

Im spent between Moore and Colston.
The only guys available on the waivers are:
Greg Camarillo
Eddie Royal (who im trying to pick up but probably not starting)
Patrick Clayton
Ike Hillard
Dominik Hixon

TE:
Greg Olsen VS Min
Bo Scaife @KC

Scaife has it easier, had a killer game before the bye.
Olsen is Olsen, but vs Min?.

BTW, standard league:
QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, TE D/ST, K
No PPR
Thanks in advance guys. (BTW i always choose a best answer :D)

admin answers:

QB I'm taking Scuab to the bank.
RB - Gore and AP - BTW Parker may be returning this week reducing moores role.
WR/RB - Sammy Morris
WR - Andre and Colston, don't think twice
TE - Olson - deep passes will be covered, olsen 4 catches 36 yds and a TD

Mary asks…

2010-2011 NFL Reg.Season Standings?

Here's Mine

AFC North-*Bengals(11-5) (Offense is back)
Ravens(9-7) (Missing Ed Reed hurts,come up short of playoffs)
Steelers(7-9) (Big Jen out 4-6 weeks,too much distractions)
Browns(5-11) (It's the Cleveland Browns...)

AFC South-*Colts(13-3) (Colts too strong)
*Titans(10-6) (Avoid starting 0-6, and they are good)
Texans(8-8) (Not quite there yet)
Jaguars(6-10) (Another long season)

AFC East-*Patriots(10-6) (Not their strongest season,very close with the Jets)
*Jets(10-6) (Lose tie breaker to Patriots)
Dolphins(8-8) (Not this year)
Bills(3-13) (No hope what so ever)

AFC West-*Chargers(10-6) (Tough season, Jackson is a FA)
Broncos(8-8) (Lost Marshall, fell apart last year)
Chiefs(7-9) (See improvment in this team)
Raiders(4-12) (Bad team)

NFC North-*Vikings(12-4) (Barely beat out the Pack,I hate Bret Favre)
*Packers(11-5) (Hang with Vikings,come up shortof division)
Bears(9-7) (This team scares me)
Lions(2-14) (Nowhere close)

NFC South-*Saints(13-3) (Very strong team)
*Panthers(9-7) (Running game gets Clausen & Panthers winning season)
Falcons(8-8) (Come up short in long run)
Buccaneers(6-10) (Little improvement)

NFC East-*Cowboys(10-6) (Edge out G men)
Giants(8-8) (Just miss playoffs)
Eagles (7-9) (Don't trust in Kolb)
Redskins(7-9) (Not enough to make it in)

NFC West-*49ers(9-7) (Strong D, win a weak division)
Cardinals(8-8) (Matt Leinart won't get it done)
Seahawks(7-9) (Some improvement)
Rams(4-12) (Few more seasons until Bradford leads to playoffs)

Just want to see anyone's agreements/disagreements (probably lots of disagreements and hate) but whatever

admin answers:

AFC North-*Bengals(11-5) (I agree with this one, and this record too. They might lose the first game but their schedule looks pretty easy until November.)
Ravens(9-7) (I also agree with this record too. They've got some tough games.)
Steelers(7-9) (Big Jen, lol. 8-9 losses seems about right. This is getting weird. We need to disagree on something.)
Browns(1-15) (About time we disagree. I don't think they've made all that much progress at all. Some times sports just doesn't seem fair. This town is trying to get over LeBron and now they have a pretty tough schedule along with their lack of talent.)

AFC South-*Colts(13-3) (Regular season champs. Like always. Can't carry it into the postseason.)
Texans(9-7) (Texans get the tie breaker with Titans.)
Titans(9-7) (I have these guys losing 7-8 games.)
Jaguars(6-10) (yeah, I agree. 10-11 loses seems about right looking at their schedule. MJD can only do but so much.)

AFC East-*Patriots(12-4) (this is basically wishful thinking, me being a Patriots fan. If the team comes together like I'm hoping they will they'll be very good for years to come with all the new young talent.)
Jets(10-6) (this is about right. Kinda tough schedule but they have some nice players.)
Dolphins(8-8) (8-9 loses. I agree. Really tough schedule.)
Bills(3-13) 13-14.( Agreed again. Tough schedule and not enough talent.)

AFC West-*Chargers(11-5) (easy teams to start the season so Jackson ban won't hurt them all that much.)
Broncos(8-8) (7-8 losses, I agree. They get the tie breaker.)
Chiefs(8-8) (very much improved.)
Raiders(4-12) (I'm hoping you're right on this.)

NFC North-*Vikings(11-5) (Tough schedule but they have alot of talent. Get tie breaker.)
Packers(11-5) (I agree.)
Bears(6-10) (I'm not so optimistic about this team.)
Lions(2-14) (I'm going to agree with you on this schedule but I won't be surprised if they got 0-16 again. Tough schedule.)

NFC South-*Saints(13-3) (3-4 loses I agree. Didn't lose much this offseason.)
Falcons(10-6) (Schedule looks favorable.)
Panthers(6-10) (I can't see them doing much. That defense took a big hit losing Peppers.)
Buccaneers(6-10) (I agree. Tough schedule.)

NFC East-*Cowboys(9-7) (Tough schedule but luckily for them the NFC East has weakened.)
Giants(8-8) (I agree, 7-8 wins. Very close with the Cowboys.)
Eagles (7-9) (8-9 loss team, I agree.)
Redskins(7-9) (also agree here.)

NFC West-*49ers(10-6) (I could see them winning 11 because their schedule looks ridiculously easy.)
Cardinals(8-8) (agree here too.)
Seahawks(7-9) (8-9 losses is about right.)
Rams(4-12) (I agree. Bradford will take time.)

Ruth asks…

Does anyone else HATE Rich Eisen of NFL Network?

If you dont, then you either do not watch him enough, or you dont know enough about football

Unfortunately, loving football like I do, Once a week is not enough for me. I need more football, and ESPN is UNBEARABLE now

I dont care about bowling and golf and horse racing and tennis and Stuart Scott sucks, hes not funny - and the BEST EVER FOOTBALL Show in HISTORY was NFL Primetime with Berman and Jackson

they cancelled it - not because the ratings were bad, they were GREAT. And thats why they cancelled it - so they can split it up into little segments called "The Blitz" and spread it out over an hour and half of Sportscenter - which is OK on Sundays, I like Dilfer and so on

but most of ESPN People are terrible and they show constant useless nonesense

So I am forced to watch NFL Network to get all the football I want

dont get me wrong, most of NFL Network staff is just awful. Jamie Dukes is a piece of trash, Michael Irvin knows nothing about football outside of WR

Deion Sanders is cool, and he is very smart

but Rich Eisen, my god, he is so retarded. He has such little football knowledge. He does the Total Access and he does little cameos on shows like Top Ten ect..

and EVERY chance he gets, he loves to profess his Gay Man-LOVE for Tom Brady, just because he went to the same College as Brady (Mich.) 30 Bald-Free years before Tom

He constantly tries to show people up and act like he is better than everyone else. He tries to One-Up people like Deion Sanders

Are you kidding me? Hey Eisen - you are a fat pasty useless waste of space, and Deion is one of the best all-around athletes of all time. Are you sick? You do not belong on a Pedestal, I know you think you do, because you went to the College that Brady went too, but that doesnt mean anything.

I went to the same Mall as Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly, does that make me cool too!?!?!?

His opinions are awful - Examples

1 - On "top ten" he said Mich. was the BEST all time school for pumping out good NFL Players, the idea was the schools ranked to #1 had to give out the most NFL Players that did good things like Pro Bowls and Super Bowls and records ect.... and Michigan was ranked #5 or 6 or w/e and he was FURIOUS. The whole show, long after Michigans thing was up, in EVERY OTHER Segment he kept complaining. His reason, and I quote - "Two Words, Tom Brady"
What? thats ONE Person, and he is not even the best QB of all time. Sure he is up there - but one GREAT QB? Why... cuz you went there? he was actually upset about it, what a freak

2 - then over the 76 Buccs vs 08 Lions as the worst team of all time dispute, He argued the Lions were worse "0-16, period" ok.. well TB lost 26 in a row, Detroit lost 18 i think? and Detroit actually got close in some games, scored alot of points in some. TB was terrible, coudlmt score, allowed a million points, and they went Winless in one season, and ALMOST in another until the 2nd last game

sure it doesnt matter who is worse - its close - but you cant say "0-16, period" because thats RETARDED. TB LOST MORE GAMES. I mean he just is so bad, everything he says is terrible

And he ALWAYS Defends New England. Every Penalty on them is a bad call according to him. On the show Official Review with the head Referee of the League, he ALWAYS trys to put in Patriots Games, and usually he is friendly with the Ref - but with calls that go against NE he gets snippy and bitchy, he is so pathetic

I CANT BELEIVE he is the face of that network. The NFL needs to get a new face. and NOT Steve Sabol cuz he sucks too. Get someone who actually has played or coached in the NFL. Not just some clueless journalist who has ZERO CREDIBILITY.

I know this is long, I know most people dont care - but I just wanted to include everything so it comes up in google, and so when people look him up, maybe they will see this, and make posts of their own, that way, the internet can be flooded with Rich Eisen HATRED

He sucks, hes terrible, he is pathetic, he knows nothing about football, he looks goofy, talks like an idiot, tries to be funny and is sooo far from it, and he actually thinks he is better than everyone around him

Why... cuz your on TV? you suck eisen, you suck. your awful and I hate you

Robert asks…

Why are people mad at me because i dont support Womens National Breast Cancer Awareness month?

I dont really give a damn about this and the reason this even came up was because i was watching NFL football and if you NOTICED the players are playing, wearing pink shoes and gloves to support etc.. So when my team came out on the field and i see they are STILL wearing this, which makes two weeks now. My friends and their girlfriends (which i dont know why they were here) got all in my *** because i said(dude come on already with the pink **** go away!) women have always treated me like **** so i dont really have feelings for none of them no matter what happens to them.I just live my life and dont care about this, women are always warned about the dangers of breast and cervical cancer, and there are always women-only fundraisers, yet I GUARANTEE that if there were men-only campaigns raising awareness of testicular and prostate cancer, the feminists would be up in arms, but my friends were saying i was being out of line but i have a right not to support this correct?

admin answers:

It's your right not to support it. But it's common courtesy not to discuss controversial topics with people you don't know well, especially if you know or suspect you have differing opinions. In your case, you brought this on yourself, and I suspect you were trying to get a negative reaction out of them so you could bash women. Sorry women have treated you crappily in your life. Perhaps if you started acting like more of a gentleman, and less of an asshole, women would treat you better. If you think raising breast cancer awareness is wrong, well your entitled to that opinion 100%, but why do you feel the need to share your opinion? Did they bring up the topic, or were they happily sitting there watching the game and you jumped out of left field with your opinion? I suspect the latter, and you were totally in the wrong. I dislike Obama and most of his policies, as does my husband. But my MIL is a dyed in the wool democrat and supports Obama 100%. This topic of conversation never comes up when we are around her. Why? Because we all know of our differing opinions, and would rather enjoy each others company by discussing neutral topics rather than start an argument.

William asks…

Since when did breast cancer become a sexual innuendo? and Why?

I personally don't think that most people who wear a I <3 boobies band, or Save the Ta-Tas, really care about breast cancer awareness as much as they like saying something sexual. The real thing that people are thinking about is the innuendo and not awareness. In the last three days I asked five students at my work (four with I <3 boobies rubber bands and one save the ta-tas shirt) if they could tell me one fact about breast cancer. 0/5 so far.
Coming from someone who wasn't aware of breast cancer, the most effective thing was NFL players wearing pink gloves and shoes.
So do we really want to make perverts the spokesman of breast cancer awareness?

There is nothing sexy or glamorous about cancer. My MIL is currently dying from breast cancer. This is her 3rd round with breast cancer and that cancer has moved into her lungs and bowels. It is inoperable. She has 3-6 months to live. If she lives to see next spring it will be a blessing.

I once heard, any attention is good attention. These little sayings do NOT draw positive attention to the cause. People are, generally, only wearing those bracelets and t-shirts to be funny. And honestly, I think, they don't care about breast cancer or give two nickles about research for a cure.

What people say and what people think are two different beasts.
What they say out loud, "I'm wearing a breast cancer awareness shirt to show support! "
What they think but don't say,"...but really I'm only wearing it to be naughty. Boobies! *giggle* "

The pink ribbon was enough and said all that needed to be said. These little slogans...I find...horrid.

Questions About Nfl Standings Tie Breakers

John asks…

Question about 2002 playoff tie breaker, cant seem to figure out why?

I am trying to figure out why the Browns clinched playoff but not the Dolphins. Indianapolis Colts took the 5th spot. So there are 4 teams fighting for the 6th spot. They are Dolphins, Browns, Broncos, and Patriots all with 9-7-0. Although NYJ also has 9-7-9, it is a division champion, so it is not in this competition of the 6th spot. I applied the NFL tie breaker rules for teams from different divisions.
From : http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

4. Strength of victory.

5. Strength of schedule.

6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best net points in conference games.

9. Best net points in all games.

10. Best net touchdowns in all games.

11. Coin toss.
Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.

2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in conference games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

The highest ranked division champions have been eliminated so we proceed to step 2. Since not all of the teams have played against each other, we proceed to step 3. Dolphins and Browns both have the best conference record. So we will only look at those two teams again start from step2 again. Dolphins did not play against the Browns, and they have same conference record. So now we use rule 3 for two teams.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.


Miami and Cleveland both played Indianapolis
Miami and Cleveland both played New York Jets.
Miami and Cleveland both played Kansas City
Miami and Cleveland both played Baltimore

MIAMI Lost to NYJ 10:13
MIAMI BEAT NYJ 30:3
MIAMI beat BALTIMORE 26:7
MIAMI BEAT INDIANA 21:13
MIAMI lost to KANSAS 48:30

So MIAMI has 60%

CLEVELAND LOST TO IND 23:28
CLEVELAND BEAT BALTIMORE 14:13
CLEVELAND LOST TO KC 40:39
CLEVELAND LOST TO BALTIMORE 21:26
CLEVELAND BEAT NYJ 24:21

So Cleveland has 40%

Thanks
This is the matchup

as we can see, dolphins didnt make the playoff even though it has higher % for common games with cleveland.
http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=REG&season=2002#Week
heres the 2002 record for all teams
I do not think they have changed the tie-breaker rules.

NFL Tiebreaking Procedures

(March 20, 2002) -- With the NFL realigning into eight four-team divisions to accommodate the arrival of the Houston Texans, the league adopted new tiebreaking rules.

WOW, that's alot to comprehend

Betty asks…

What's the deal with the AL East Standings? Rays declared champs, but lead by 2 with 2 games remain..?

As of this posting, Tampa Bay leads Boston by 2 games..
Tampa Bay 96 - 64
Boston 94 - 66
But the Rays have been declared champs of the AL East and are celebrating. Seems to me, they've mathematically cinched a tie, but not the division championship.

Maybe the league uses some sort of tie breaker like the NFL, but I thought MLB had a 1 game playoff if there was a tie for a division title. Anyone have an explanation?

admin answers:

They had a better season series. They went 10-8 against the Red Sox so if the two ended in a tie, the Rays would immediately win the division title. The only time there would be an exception is if the two teams were tied and fighting to get in the playoffs but both teams have already clinched their chances to getting to the playoffs so there will be no tie breaker game.

Laura asks…

which two teams will make the wild card in the AFC?

i really want Baltimore and i actually think they will make it but here is the standings right now:
http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=conf

I think Baltimore has the tie breaker over the Broncos because they beat them and they both play easy teams next week so they will have the same record most likely
The jets have a hard game against Cincinnati, while Houston plays New England; Steelers play Dolphins

Im guessing its steelers and Baltimore, what do you think?

admin answers:

I agree with you; Steelers & Ravens.

Steven asks…

Why is New England ranked over Miami?

NFL tie breaking rules:

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Both teams are 8-5

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). They split head to head meetings.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Both are 3-2.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Miami has 6 wins and 1 loss. New England has 5 wins and two losses. Shouldn't Miami win this tiebreaker?

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Miami is 6-4 and New England is 5-5. Shouldn't Miami also win this tie breaker?

Both NFL.com and Yahoo Sports have New England ranked #2 in the AFC East and Miami ranked # 3.

admin answers:

If the playoffs were to begin today, neither would make the playoffs. That would go to the Colts & Ravens. They appear to have an easy last 3 games, but you can never count a game in the W column until it's over. After week 17 we will know if they are in or if they are vying for a draft pick.
