NFL Playoffs PLAYOFFS?!! Discussion

[Tenbatsuzen]

The best way to send Brett a message is to draft a QB in the first or second round this year.

BTW, the Twins are moving into an open-air stadium? Really? That has disaster written all over it.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Who are the QBs that are going to be available this year?

I know Teel and White (who will probably be converted to a WR IF HE COMES OUT - he may go play baseball and make guaranteed money)

[MHasegawa]

the twins played their first 25 years outdoors

Yep, they wanted the public to pay for the fucking roof. They said no and the owner said no roof for you! Ha!! :lol:

Sanchez is talkin like he is gonna stay, everyone else is still a Junior. Stafford, bradford, Jr's, i think McCoy already said he is staying so it's still up in the air.

[spoon]

Hell, it might even give them some extra home field advantage.

I hope Wang blows another tire there in April. Just tell him to get up quick for God's sake, bc CC is a scavenger and might fucking eat him alive.

Who did he think he was, The Yankees?

[sailor]

Jets had two good RB's and a hell of an O-line this year. The issue was a renegade quarterback and a retard coach.

some teams would kill for a 5 game turnaround.

[epo]

Yep, they wanted the public to pay for the fucking roof. They said no and the owner said no roof for you! Ha!! :lol:

Its a shame Carl Pohlad doesn't have any money.....oh wait, he's ranked in the top "richest people in the US" by Forbes magazine with over $2 billion in wealth.

Trust me...they will rue not having a roof.

Nope. Hence my laughing.

Nope. Hence my laughing.

I give it 2 years before they're back in the metrodome for a year or two while they retrofit the stadium with a roof.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

domes suck

[epo]

I give it 2 years before they're back in the metrodome for a year or two while they retrofit the stadium with a roof.

The irony is that there is a proposal to build a retractable roof stadium....for the Vikings!

That is the most ass-backwards thing I've ever heard.

I don't understand that. NFL regs say that the roof must be closed in inclement weather situations or if the temps drop below freezing. There would be no reason to have the dome. It's one of the main reasons the New Meadowlands doesn't have a roof.

That ruled!

work, I stated a fact

I have no opinion on this game

stop blaming the Vikings horrible offense on a jinx

[spoon]

WOW, Jackson just got the slammed using the Undertaker's signature move!

[K.C.]

Childress is like Little Andy.

They were gashing the Eagles up the middle, so he decides to throw twice, and then run a sweep right after that TD.

STICK WITH WHAT WORKS!!!!

I don't even like the Vikings, and this still is bothering.

the eagles secondary suck at these open field tackles

back in the red zone


making the awful offense look good

[King Hippos Bandaid]

its funny Chester Taylor left Baltimore to break out of Jamal Lewis's shadow, gets a year, then its 2nd fiddle to Peterson

[Kevin]

I don't know why people fear the eagles. They caught the Giants on a hectic week, no Jacobs for most of the game, and the oline played shit. Thats not happening again. Chester Taylor is killing them. Jacobs will eat them alive.

I have no clue how he lasted until pick #7 in the 2007 draft.

[spoon]

I have no clue how he lasted until pick #7 in the 2007 draft.

Well, he is injury prone, can't block and doesn't catch well either. That and the fact most of the top 6 teams weren't in need of an rb.

[epo]

Well, he is injury prone, can't block and doesn't catch well either. That and the fact most of the top 6 teams weren't in need of an rb.

And yet he's unbelievable.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I have no clue how he lasted until pick #7 in the 2007 draft.

His stock dropped in the weeks leading up to the draft because of "character issues".

2 years in the league, seems to be just fine.

[Kevin]

Andy Read coaching 101

[spoon]

man this is a battle of terrible passing qbs

[Tenbatsuzen]

bTW, epo - Lions and Browns could have used an RB in the 2007 draft.

[spoon]

And yet he's unbelievable.

His stock dropped in the weeks leading up to the draft because of "character issues".

Well, he did still go 7th!

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, I can't look at Brad Childress and not see either Tobias Funke or a child molester.

[epo]

bTW, epo - Lions and Browns could have used an RB in the 2007 draft.

That draft:

1. Oakland - QB JaMarcus Russell
2. Detroit - WR Calvin Johnson
3. Cleveland - OT Joe Thomas
4. Tampa - DE Gaines Adams
5. Arizona - OT Levi Brown
6. Washington - LaRon Landry
7. Minnesota - RB Adrian Peterson

I can almost forgive Detroit & Cleveland...especially Cleveland as Thomas is fucking awesome.

[spoon]

bTW, epo - Lions and Browns could have used an RB in the 2007 draft.

Not really, as the Browns just made the move to get Jamal Lewis for 07. So you knew they weren't on the market for a running back.

And Detroit always goes wideout in the first round. Plus, would you want to risk messing up the lockerroom chemistry in Detroit with AP!? Ha!

[Kevin]

Nice to see Dave getting work in Verizon Fios commercials.

[K.C.]

I can almost forgive Detroit & Cleveland...especially Cleveland as Thomas is fucking awesome.

Plus, Cleveland had two QBs.

Who'd of thunk they actually needed three?

:wallbash:

And I believe 07 was the year detroit picked up TJ Duckett and Tatum Bell as there one two punch so they were out of the running (literally)!

That 'sack' was gayer than Strahan's sack on Favre.

L.J. would have dropped both those balls Celek caught.

Celek looks like a sneaky pick going into fantasy next year. Well, outside of the PA area that is.

[Jughead]

Hi Buddys where is Rhino????

[spoon]

That 'sack' was gayer than Strahan's sack on Favre.

Which explains Kevin's tiny hard on.

[spoon]

Why not try to get through the kicker?! I'm lost when returners do that!

[K.C.]

Celek looks like a sneaky pick going into fantasy next year. Well, outside of the PA area that is.

He's deceptively quick (at least in terms of how slow he looks like he'd be) and he runs good routes.

He's not a good blocker, though. That may keep him from getting the starting job next season.

It sure as hell won't be L.J, though. He's SO gone.

[spoon]

HUGE play.

[K.C.]

Tra Thomas has been getting owned by Jared Allen all game, and he hasn't been particularly great all season.

He's about done, as far as his career goes.

[epo]

That Jared Allen is crazy good......

[spoon]

That Jared Allen is crazy good......

The los gatos ledgend.

dont know if you wanna use a challenege for it though

That's a pretty big call right now with both offenses looking like shit.

It's a field position game right now, especially with a 2 point margin.

[spoon]

b/c the bucs are morons thinking cadillac was enough

If he didn't get injured he would have been. Sorry, I can't get on them for that.

[Kevin]

If he didn't get injured he would have been. Sorry, I can't get on them for that.



Yea Caddilac did win Off ROY.

[cougarjake13]

If he didn't get injured he would have been. Sorry, I can't get on them for that.

he was already injured at that point though and later that year got real fucked up which they obviously wouldnt have known about at draft time

[K.C.]

Kevin Curtis moves like a squirrel in the middle of the road as a car is driving down the road towards it.

Just complete and utter confused back and forth bouncing and running.

yeh in 05


06 he missed a few games and was injured or hurt most of yr
then 07 season came the big injury

"Well, the Eagles didn't beat us...they were distracted by the Spagnola wine & dine tour...that must have been it..."

I'll bet the house with a 20 point cushion. Are you mad!? Yet I'd at least be impressed you back it up regardless of what the bet is.

Yeah, post-gun in Plaxico's sweatpants Antonio Pierce sucks big time.

That's not quite the same as Jared Allen in your face on every play.

man everyone was saying the cowboys could be the 07 giants but its looking like the eagles are gonna lay claim to that

Dallas with their setup COULDN'T be the Giants of 07/08. And the Eagles are very well known and not even close to the kind of hot the Giants were last year....yet.

[TripleSkeet]

31 10 Giants. Book it.

If you wanna give me 20 points Ill mortgage my house and bet you right now.

I gotta give Cougar credit though. He knows not to overlook a team that sneaks into the playoffs. Im not overlooking the Giants thats for sure. But its nice every once in awhile to be the team going in with nothing to lose. Especially when Brian Dawkins is playing like an animal that wants a ring and retirement ceremony this year.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I hate to say it... I see a lot of the 2007 giants in the 2008 eagles. Uneven season, getting hot at the right time, a coach that people want out, a QB no one has faith in...

To go for today's Replacements trifecta, THERE IS NO TOMORROW AND THAT MAKES THEM VERY VERY DANGEROUS

Also, Carolina was 8-0 at home this year, and Arizona was 3-5 on the road.

I think Carolina will handle the Cards pretty easily. And while I think the Tennessee/Baltimore game is going to be a classic, old school, smash mouth affair, I'm kind of surprised that a #1 seed is only a three point favorite over a #6 seed.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Boldin is questionable with a bad hammy. If he does not play, Zona is in trouble.

Please. Boldin is not LT. Boldin is the toughest mother fucker in the National Football League. THE DUDE HAD HIS FACE LITERALLY RE-ARRANGED and he was playing a month later. He's gonna play.

Exactly. Sproles isn't washed up.

[spoon]

Exactly. Sproles isn't washed up.

How's that 11-5 record working out for you this year!?

And seriously, give me a break. I love this argument that LT is soft bc he is banged up bad the last two years. I'm sure he played almost a decade and racked up amazing stats to become a pussy when he wants nothing more than to play.

A busted face is one thing, but a hammy/knee/groin injury to an RB or WR and your not the guy you used to be until healed. I've played hockey with broken ribs, fingers and plenty of stitches, but when my knee or ankle got dinged, it was bad.

Saying shit about LT this year or last would be the equivalent to ripping Brady this year. Stupid. In fact, both Rivers and LT have played through too much bc they wanted to win so bad in my mind. With the likes of Turner, Sproles and Volek to back them up, I think they would have been better off sitting quicker. All year I stated LT should sit until he's healthy but he continued to play through it. And how does one get groin injuries, yep, when they're not in the same game shape as they should/used to be.

I'm not going to question the mans heart. I don't know the man, and i don't judge people i don't know. But he has come up missing when the team really needs him, twice now.

So by your non-judging standards you imply he set the world on fire in the NFL for years and even played amazing in multiple playoff games and then as he got older and toward the end of his career quit bc he has no committment to the team?

Did I get all of that right there kev?!

And the bet is?

in fairness, a healthy sproles is probably better then a RB with a torn groin tendon, even if that RB is LT. Sometimes if you are injured, you are only gonna hurt the team by playin. I can't honestly believe anyone not in the NBA would really tank it to miss a playoff game when he killed himself all year to get there. I just don't see it

Again, never said he is tanking. I am just saying Chargers may need to start looking for a new work horse every down back.

Hey, that I won't argue, but to say he's soft is insane. He got depressed bc he actually wants to play that badly. I'm not one to say he shouldn't have been out there on the sideline like Merriman is every game right now. Still, it happened mid-game unlike the time Merriman's or Brady's injury. And has Brady been cheering at most of NE's games this year? Hardly. I'm pretty impressed about Merriman being at almost every game cheering from the sidelines.

I don't think he's soft.

I just think he's washed up.

[spoon]

Can any player put together seasons like he did during his prime, rarely. And if you follow the normal pattern of even the best rb's you'll see he's really is at the tail end of his career in terms of being a top 3 back, let alone top 5. He'll still be plenty effective if he ever gets healthy, but he'll need to sit to do so and possible surgery which he refuses to do. When he finally decides to do so, based on length of recovery especially now that he's hitting the big 30 soon means he's seen his best days no doubt.

[Freakshow]

Local sports radio is awesome. Heard yesterday (before the game was even over): Then we are agreed, the only team that can beat the Ravens is the Giants... :lol::lol:

[TripleSkeet]

That Carolina/Zona line is gonna shift. How the hell Pitt is only 6 point faves over SD yet the Panthers are 10 point faves over Zona is beyond me.

Because the last game of the season Rothlisberger got fucking squashed and has a concussion. Otherwise the spread would be bigger.

[spoon]

Because the last game of the season Rothlisberger got fucking squashed and has a concussion. Otherwise the spread would be bigger.

Or perhaps yet again it has to do with each teams strengths and weaknesses, along with the early money coming in. And let's not forget they played in week #11 in Pitt with the Steelers winning by one on a last second field goal 11-10. Call me insane, but I think the line is too high. Take the dog here, they may win this outright. It'll be another great game.

[TripleSkeet]

Well you have 2 of the games most important players in Rothlesberger and Tomlinson hurt....badly. Ben is gonna play, LT? I dont know. Either way I never bet games like this. With all the injury factors too much shit is up for grabs. Pitt could lose outright or win by 20.

[RAAMONE]

LT should be out but i'd take sproles anyway...over 300 total yards and a couple tds

and ben should start but if not leftwich has been a great backup

either way...rather face the chargers than peyton

oh, and not that it matters but the last chargers/steelers matchup should have been 17-10

[cougarjake13]

Also, Carolina was 8-0 at home this year, and Arizona was 3-5 on the road.

I think Carolina will handle the Cards pretty easily. And while I think the Tennessee/Baltimore game is going to be a classic, old school, smash mouth affair, I'm kind of surprised that a #1 seed is only a three point favorite over a #6 seed.

prob cause no one believes in tennessee


obviously if it were indy or bradys pats it'd be different


im sure a lot of people view them as this years 07 cowboys , nice record but not much els e

Still one score in Pitt when the Chargers were playing awful. Just another team to beat with a player winning an individual reward the week before the game.

Bye bye Pitt.

[spoon]

Oh and LT hasn't been himself since getting injured in last year's playoff run. Sorry, they should have been preparing Sproles all year for this. The big block move of picking up Michael Bennett (stopping Denver from picking up a much needed RB) is going to be big in this game. He gives us a much better/much needed short-yardage back going up against a very good D. Bennett and Moore will play much bigger roles in this game then most think. I also think it'll be fun to watch two ackward but good qbs matching up from the same draft.

Another HUGE change with the Chargers is that the D is MUCH better under Rivera so be ready to battle morphing/attacking D all day. Big Ben won't be right to take hits, so we could be without LT, Roth and others by the mid point.

[NYHCmikeX]

I think it's more no one believe in Kerry Collins. After watching him with the Giants all those years, I cant picture the Ravens not containing the run and forcing Collins to make mistakes. A la the 2000 Super Bowl.

But he turned in an all-time performance in the NFC championship game that year right before the super bowl. Set a bunch of championship game records.

He's been progressing, with the Panthers he made the NFC Championship game but lost to the Pack. Next he goes to the Giants and win the NFC Championship game but lost in the super bowl. Next step is to win the Superbowl...

And he's not a drunk any longer, that may help. And let's be honest, Collins always had a cannon, he just was a sloppy player/drunk back then. He did lead PSU to an undefeated season, took Carolina and the Giants very close, and now made the Titans a force. I can't put it on him, it's his receiving core if you ask me. Who can't cover the Gage and their 15 tight ends!? They run bc they HAVE to.

All the 'experts' seem to be going out of their to pick any team but the Titans. They are top seed for a reason. They could lose, sure, but a week to rest and home field go a long way. Especially when a team is built on a running game and denfense like the Titans.

I love Joe Flacco, being a UD alum myself, but I don't see any way he makes enough plays to win this game.

The Ravens' best chance was to get up early, and just sit on the ball. As long as Tennessee is front-running, they'll have that Ravens D worn down by the third quarter, because they'll do nothing BUT run.

They're going to need Flacco to make some big throws. I can't see it.

Sorry, but when 9 players get arrested (one of them 4 times) in a 12 month span and the head coach says there's not a problem, I can't root for an organization like that and still feel good about myself. On top of it, when they finally cut Chris Henry after his fourth arrest, they said he'd never be a Bengal again. When they had a few injuries in the preseason at the WR position, however, they immediately re-signed him.

What a classless organization.

The Cincinnati Bengals can go fuck themselves, and I wish them nothing but continued failure.

[KnoxHarrington]

So it appears that the Cardinals are not happy just to be in the playoffs after all.

So it appears that the Cardinals are not happy just to be in the playoffs after all.

I started off like everyone, thinking it was a slam dunk for the Panthers, but I actually had the same feeling the last couple of days, about the Cardinals, that I got a couple days before the Atlanta game, when I flipped my opinion on that.

So this isn't totally surprising me

People were quick to write the team off because of the way they finished the season, but it's not exactly like they were playing for much that last month. Their division sucked.

Warner's still a money QB, and the Panthers' pass rush was overrated all season.

To beat the Cardinals, you have to blitz the hell out of Warner, and that's not the Panthers' style.

The problem for Arizona, is that both the Eagles and Giants will do that to them.
