Thoughts On The 2012 NFL Regular Season
Now that the NFL regular season has come to an official end we got to see an amazing year of football.
Not to mention some surprise teams making runs to the playoffs in Seattle, Washington, Minnesota, Cincinnati and of course Indy which was the greatest story of them all with their coach Chuck Pagano who came back in the teams final game after starting treatment for leukemia in September. That team rode #Chuckstrong to the playoffs.
But we also get to see some sad times as well. First the bounty gate scandal that not only put a little hurt on the league but also hurt the Saints and their season as well. Lucky for them they resigned their coach to a huge contract so they can make a run next season and this scandal will be passed them hopefully. Also, even though I am a huge Giants fan, no longer seeing Andy Reid on the Eagles sidelines will be a little different next season. Reid was was the longest-tenured coach in the NFL at 14 seasons, going 130-92-1 during the regular season. He led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, including five NFC title games and one Super Bowl that they lost to the Patriots in.
Players and teams that had magic last season like Tim Tebow sat on the pine watching another big shot quarterback falter to lead his team anywhere. The Giants, hate to even talk about this, starting 6-2 looking to defend their title and leading the division by two games and looking playoff bound falling apart towards the end of the season finishing 3-5 and missing out.
Now as we move onto Wild Card Weekend:
NFL Wild Card Weekend schedule
Saturday
4:30 p.m.: Bengals at Texans (NBC)
8 p.m.: Vikings at Packers (NBC)
Sunday
1 p.m.: Colts at Ravens (CBS)
4:30 p.m.: Seahawks at Redskins (Fox)
It will be interesting to see how this exciting season ends and who will be crowned this years Super Bowl champ. I know I have my favorites to win and some I hope that don't. I am sure you do as well. I am already looking forward to free agency and the off-season as well especially since the Giants missed out. There will be many changes I am sure with players and coaches. And I will be there watching all of it and waiting til next August when training camps and preseason begins.
Bloggers Note: As for my Wild Card Weekend Picks..I am going Texans, Packers, Ravens and Redskins. But I would rather have the Seahawks win.
We got to see three rookie quarterbacks lead their team to the playoffs:
Some more great rookie performances by these two running backs:
And some great comeback performances and great stories
And a record breaking season

Peyton Manning....What if he never went to Denver..
I have been pondering something as of late...what would have happened if Peyton Manning hadn't left Indy or had chosen another team instead. The fate of many players would have come into play.
If Peyton had stayed in Indy....
The Colts wouldn't have chosen Andrew Luck as the #1 pick in the draft meaning he would have dropped to #3 I believe to the Browns who would have traded up for him. Thats only if the Vikings were sure Ponder was their man. So in this scenerio alone...Peyton in Indy. Luck to Minnesota or Cleveland. Christian Ponder and Colt McCoy could have been jobless.
The Colts would be about where they are now in contention for a playoff spot but not dominating. The Texans are the much better team still in that division and Indy's defense could use help. But I think Garcon would have stayed meaning one less weapon for RG3.And who knows the impact that could have made on him since they are 5-1 with Garcon playing.
If Peyton had signed with the 49ers....
I don't think the 49ers would have resigned Alex Smith and he would have been a free agent. A free agent of which I believe could have ended up with Denver, NYJ or Arizona or maybe the far stretch of Seattle.
The 49ers would be dominating the division and possibly the NFC with home field advantage a pretty much guarantee for the playoffs. With their defense and a good group of WR's (including Randy Moss and that would be quite a combo) they would most likely be a Super Bowl representitive.
If Peyton had signed with the NY Jets....
The Jets obviously would not have made the move for Tim Tebow. I think Sanchez would have been released or traded. Once again a team like Denver, or more likely spot a desperate Arizona team would have taken Sanchez.Which Arizona might have been a little bit more competitive maybe finishing 8-8 if they had gotten him.
I think the Jets running game would be better with the threat of Peyton and even the so-so WR's they have would make big plays knowing Peyton can turn anyone into a threat. The defense would be a lot better since they wouldn't have to be on the field for most of a quarter (we all know how much they are out there with Sanchez's turnovers this year). The Jets wouldn't catch the Patriots..but would be in the playoffs where they could have been dangerous.
If Peyton had signed with the Arizona Cardinals...
First off, Larry Fitzgerald would be celebrating as he might be a legitimate threat again. Gotta feel bad for the guy. The Cardinals at that point would have also let Kevin Kolb hit the market and there wouldn't have been very much interest. A team might have grabbed him for a backup role.
The Cardinals with their tough defense, good group of WR's and a decent running back would have made noise in the NFC West and NFC. They have a great team but the one position player they are missing from making a playoff run and you plug one of the best in there and you have a Super Bowl contender.
If Peyton had signed with the Seattle Seahawks...
Russell Wilson wouldn't be a Seahawk meaning another team could have landed his talent and maybe have never played him on the field to realize his full potential! And the bad signing of Matt Flynn might not have come either. So this would mean Matt Flynn most likely to the Cardinals. Russell Wilson elsewhere. Tavares Jackson as the backup.
Seattle has a good D and a dominating home field advantage so that helps. They would have been a 9-7 team and made the playoffs. Possibly made some noise if they got a home game.
Finally...we have to look at this angle...if Peyton hadn't signed with the Broncos...
Tebow Time might still be happening. I don't think the Broncos would be where they are. Maybe a .500 team at best. The Chargers might have been more in contention and be leading the West. And who knows who the Broncos would have signed if Peyton wasn't available..most likely a QB Peyton booted out on another team. Another play in this is the Broncos might had taken a swing on a pretty talented 3rd round qb named Russell Wilson in the 2nd round instead of drafting Brock Osweiler.
would have stayed 
This is only some of the scenarios that could have played out. There are many more I am sure. But these were the ones I thought of. Its sometimes hard to realize he isn't in Indy anymore until you see him in a Broncos uni. I thought for sure Colt for life.
When it comes to the hobby collecting part of this..I don't think it mattered where this Hall of Famer landed. His cards will always stay up in value. Even being out last year..they never dropped. He is very popular among collectors and non collectors as we can see by his fame being plastered all over TV.
As of right now he gets my vote for Comeback Player Of The Year (Adrian Peterson a very close 2nd), and as for an MVP vote..I am not quite sold yet. Lets see how far he takes the Broncos in the playoffs first. I think other players such as Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson and maybe even RG3 deserve a better shot.
What are your thoughts on this? What do you think would have happened if he landed elsewhere?

SPORT CARD COLLECTORS PANINI'S PLAYER OF THE DAY CONTEST #4
There are 6 players on the front of the box, from left of Calvin Johnson, Eli Manning, Trent Richardson, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin. Choose ONE player and give us the amount of TD's for only their main category such passing, running, or receiving that player will have WITHOUT going over!! So if for example, RG3 passes for 2 TD's and runs for 1.we are only counting the 2 TD's he passed for since he is a QB and his main scoring comes from passing. This is part 1 of the contest...part 2 is to pick the winner of these five games. But in order to move onto part 2..you must get part 1 right! If you go over on part 1...part 2 will not count unless everyone else doesn't get part 1 right. 0 is an answer for part 1...but remember if they score 3td's that could hurt you in the second part because you will be 3 off when someone else might be closer. But its a risk you could take and it could reward you.
Here are the 5 games:
Dallas @ Baltimore
NYG @ SF
Minn @ Wash
Green Bay @ Houston
SD @ Denver
The person closest to getting the amount of TD's and the most games wins this week. Winner will be announced on Tuesday 16th.
