NFL 2008-2009 Season Thread

[Boomer]

Not a big fan of the fact that the Falcons need help right now and could go 11-5 and miss the playoffs.

[DrA]

That would be balls.

[MVP]

Looks like it'll go to week 17 before we know if the Pats make the playoffs, assuming they don't lose next week and the Jets win. It's gonna be tough considering we're playing Arizona next, and Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald will probably set records for receiving yards against our miserable secondary.

[McLegend]

Enough of the fuckin wildcat.

[SammyG]

Wow this game is gay.

[Noooooodle!]

God damit, The patriots secondary sucks ass! to give up 20 odd points to a useless oakland raiders team is shocking.

[Team Sheep]

God damit, The patriots secondary sucks ass! to give up 20 odd points to a useless oakland raiders team is shocking.

Well it doesn't exactly matter when you reply with like 50 points of your own. That game was dead after the 1st quarter, that's not really a fair way to asses it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bret Favre, who leads the NFL in interceptions, was selected to the Pro Bowl. Phillip Rivers, who leads the NFL in TDs and QB rating, was not. Favre was not voted in by the fans, mind you, but selected as a backup. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[FearedSanctity]

And Ryan Clady, a tackle who has allowed only .5 sacks and 3 penatlies so far this season, was not voted to the Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, Jason Peters (11.5 sacks, 8 penalties) is a starter

[Supreme Olajuwon]

not even close to being the same thing

[Boomer]

Dunno why John Abraham didn't get in, but eh. Of all the All Star games, I really care about the Pro Bowl the least.

[OssMan]

Winner gets home field advantage in the super bowl

[Boomer]

Only good thing about the Pro Bowl ever.

DALLAS FUCKING CLARK YOU ASS HOLES! WHAT THE FUCK!

[RP]

Its FUCKING RACISM!

[Team Sheep]

Pfft why does everyone always talk about the Pro Bowl. Who fucking cares.

[#1-norm-fan]

So two weeks ago it was being reported that Adam Jones had suffered a season ending and possibly career ending neck injury.

He is now back at practice and will be starting this Saturday against Baltimore.

Someone deserves an award for that report. :shifty:

[RP]

Ed Werder reporting.

[#1-norm-fan]

Touche

[Noooooodle!]

someone dosen't like adam jones.....


that someone would be me :rant:

[RP]

The MVP award was clinched tonight by Peyton Manning. They should award him next week.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Cassell to Moss to the Superbowl

[SammyG]

Whoa Stima is back

[Innovator]

going to the Giants/Panthers tomorrow night, more excited about the parking pass

[VonErichLives]

RP - ESPN was saying today that Dungy may step down this year and there is a good chance he'll take over in STL...

can you explain to me, is ESPN talking out their ass or is their a reason for this?

Cause, even if he's not the GM in indy would you really leave one of the best teams in football to rebuild a team so you can have control of player personel? or is their something else, like his family is there or something?

Cause it doesn't seem to make sense..

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Last time Dungy and retirement were mentioned together he was meant to want to go be a pastor, probably down in Tampa I think. I don't know that he's ever gone on the record as saying that though. Either way can't imagine him going to STL, makes no sense at all.

[RP]

ESPN are idiots. Dungy doesnt wanna coach much more. If he leaves this year, he's done with the league. He's not gunna go rebuild another team. Dungy has been saying for a few years now that he wants to do more important things with his life, including being with his family. Theres no way at all that Dungy is coaching the Rams next season. It wont happen. Thats just ESPN reporting fake stories.

[ClockShot]

R.I.P. RCA Dome.

They said Dungy may step down and the Rams are looking to get Jim Caldwell. Not Dungy.

[Shadow]

Cowboys just totally collasped there against the Ravnes.

How do you let two running bags go back to back touchdowns?

[Triple A]

Yeah shit. The 2 losers of the AFC east won't make the playoffs unless they win the division. That is pretty rough. The Pats could go 11-5 and miss out. :cool:

[RP]

yahh thats soo rough.. haha

[VonErichLives]

They said Dungy may step down and the Rams are looking to get Jim Caldwell. Not Dungy.

wasn't what whoever they had on was saying when I watched it.

Talked about STL being a good fit and something he'd consider doing, which as we've all stated made no sense.

[VonErichLives]

Yeah shit. The 2 losers of the AFC east won't make the playoffs unless they win the division. That is pretty rough. The Pats could go 11-5 and miss out. :cool:

yahh thats soo rough.. haha

It is funny, especially where the AFC West team could be 8-8...

[RP]

If the Chargers get in, i'll puke.

[RP]

Theres nothing i want more then to play the Broncos in the Wild Card game.

[FearedSanctity]

Feeling is mutual

[VonErichLives]

some cardinals players said when they got off the plane it was the first time they have ever seen snow...

[VonErichLives]

KC up on miami.... nice... Miami loss this week and then they beat the Jets next week would be great.

but if the Pats win out and the Jets win out we have a better "common games" record and would win the tie breaker.

If the Phins win out, and the Pats win out, the Phins would get the common games tie breaker.

[Nervous Ferret]

If the JEts and PAts both win out, the Jets would get in based on being 5-1 in the division. If the divisional records were to be tied, then it would go to common games which the Pats would have.

[IC Champion]

Everyone knows that.

Pats are gonna win today.

[Nervous Ferret]

Well not everyone

On topic anyway, I am currently relegated to this Pats/Cards onslaught while there are at least 3 or 4 'good' games going on right now. It's nothing new and nothing that hasn't been complained about on many occasions, but still I would love to be watching Pitt/Tenn right now :(

[McLegend]

You realize Pitt/Tenn is on CBs right now?

[Nervous Ferret]

Nah because I always get the JEts/Giants/Eagles game.

So I am getting the Jets/Seahawks at 4, as well as the Eagles/Skins at 4. And since this week I get two Fox games opposed to two CBS games, BAM the only game on tv for me is Pats/Cards.

I thought you would be on the same setup as me, seeing as how I am really not far from Philly. Are only the Eagles on for you at 4?

[Nervous Ferret]

http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/2008-16-CBS.html

Damn, I was actually shockingly close to getting Pitt/Tenn instead of Jets/Seahawks today. Don't think that has ever happened

[Nervous Ferret]

Of course, I usually have Sunday Ticket, I didn't bother this year because I was at school for 13/17 weeks, so I really am not sure if that has happened in recent times.

[DaveWadding]

NFC WEST CHAMPS YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[D Mac]

Holy shit @ Detroit. 1 game away from running the table...






... in reverse. :eek:

[SammyG]

LMFAO RAMS

[SammyG]

I had Pitt/Tenn on cbs at 1, and Pats/Cards on Fox at 1.

Yeah Chargers.

[SammyG]

lmao Rams. I hate you pathetic pieces of shit

[DaveWadding]

lmao Rams. I hate you pathetic pieces of shit

Fucking fuckers.

[FearedSanctity]

Time to update the list...

RBs since the season started:
<strike>Michael Pittman
Anthony Aldridge
Andre Hall
Ryan Torain
Peyton Hillis
</strike><strike>PJ Pope
Spencer Larsen</strike>
Tatum Bell
Selvin Young

[FearedSanctity]

Oh no, we're at the dreaded 10 point mark :'(

[ClockShot]

DAMMIT.

San Diego HAD to solve the NFC South puzzle today.

If Denver goes down today, they might as well choke it the rest of the way.

[VonErichLives]

If the JEts and PAts both win out, the Jets would get in based on being 5-1 in the division. If the divisional records were to be tied, then it would go to common games which the Pats would have.

yeah, that occurred to me earlier. so need a jets loss today and a jets win next week and a pats win next week.

no idea how the tie breaker works out on the wild card.

[Team Sheep]

Jesus Christ Jets. What the hell's happened since we beat the Titans?!

[McLegend]

Westbrook has to be a hero.

[ClockShot]

Scheff, Graham, and Stokley finally showed up.

[Nervous Ferret]

Is it bad that with the Jets down 7 I think we have a better chance to tie the game everytime Seneca Wallace drops back as opposed to Favre? :(

[VonErichLives]

GO SEACHICKENS!!!!!

[McLegend]

FUCK THIS GAME.

[ClockShot]

The story of Brett Favre's life happens again.

[IC Champion]

And thats what Mangini was a coordinator.

[ClockShot]

C'MON DENVER!

[IC Champion]

Id like to SD get in, they don't deserve it, but neither does Denver

[Team Sheep]

Pfft

[ClockShot]

FUCK YOU, CBS. PUT THE GAME BACK ON! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT 60 FUCKING MINUTES!

[FearedSanctity]

Can't say I didn't see this coming....

[IC Champion]

Calm down, it's on like 6 other channels in Canada alone.

[ClockShot]

Yup.

Next week we head to the border to settle this. Right now, time to turn up the heat on a few chairs.

[IC Champion]

Wow, Vikings just got fucked, that was a terrible no call. The DB held the recievers hand.

[IC Champion]

I have never been happier to see the redskins win.

[McLegend]

Wow I hope Andy Reid gets fired.

[FearedSanctity]

I can think of only one chair that I'd imagine is hot as hell. Defensive coord. Shanahan should get some heat and Jeremy Bates should get some heat (shit offensive play calling at times) but Slowik's defense has always been the constant negative.

I mean, come on, kinda hard to cover the pass when all CBs are atleast 10 yards off their man and the safteties are so far away they're irrelevant. And that's the coverage we're playing atleast 90% of the time. Pointless

[Heros Welcome]

DIRTY BIRDS BABY!!!!

[IC Champion]

SD could make the playoffs, LOL.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

How many D coordinators has Shanahan PERSONALLY hired & fired? He deserves just as much (dis)credit for the mess Denver has been in the last few years.

[FearedSanctity]

I know. But it really seems as if Shanny can do no wrong in Bowlen's eyes, so firing him isn't really a consideration. All we can really do is keep hiring and firing DCs until either someone gets it, or Bowlen sees the real problem.

[Shadow]

Wow I hope Andy Reid gets fired.

He needs to be.

You've got one of the leauge's hottest running backs in your offensive lineup. It's 3rd and 1. Why the fuck would you pass when you're QB has been wildly inconsitant all season? Why I ask you?

Too bad the Falcons won today which knocks the Skins out of Playoff contention but hey....I guess we can just fuck up everyone else up with a win next week.

[Triple A]

I hate everything about football

[Boomer]

Didn't get to watch more than the blowout that was the Pats game.

I did get to see the last minute of the Falcons game. I got chills. It really does mean everything to everyone who loves football down here. To come back after everything...just wow.

The game of next week is definitely Denver and Sand Diego. Will be sick.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>HOLY SHIT, WHAT A GAME</font> :love:

[DaveWadding]

Derrick Ward. Jesus.

[Boomer]

Holy fucking shittttt. I can't believe today.

The Falcons can win the fucking division. I can't believe this shit. I'm cussing like crazy.

We beat StL, then the Saints beat the Panthers. It's that simple. Wow.

And need we not forget the current home record of NFC South teams playing in the division this year (11-0).

With the Saints playing at home, I'm calling Who Dat all week.

[Gonzo]

NEW YORK GIANTS

[OssMan]

Dude phuck yeah everyone kept trippin jacobs up by the feet what was that about Derrick ward goin crazy up in here

[Evil Vito]

Derrick Ward. Is Jesus.

<font color=goldenrod>Fixed.</font>

[SammyG]

SO happy. Jacobs' last TD gave him 26 points. But IDK, no way I win my fantasy championship game, I need Olsen to give me 16 tommorrow and there is no way that is happening

[Terra Ryzin]

HOLYYYY SHIT!! just got home from the giants game...wow best sporting event i ever attended. trailing at the half. td, 2point conv, awesome d, missed fg, overtime...wow! i hugged more random men then clay aitken at a pride rally

I was looking forward to your update. I figured it was coming.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Man Green Bay has to be one of the best 6-10 teams I've ever seen. They're going to get a top 10 draft pick this year and they are going to be legitimate contenders next season.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

They get an extra pick from the Jets too. Probably only a 3rd rounder at this point, unless they make the playoffs.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Fuck the Giants btw

[James Steele]

I can't wait until the Cowboys bitchslap the Giants back into reality.

[OssMan]

LOL hey remember that time the Giants beat the Cowboys when it mattered and then won the superbowl

[OssMan]

I can't wait until the Cowboys bitchslap the Giants back into reality.
Shut Up You Ignorant Ass

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dallas might be better off worrying about the 2 or 3 games they have to win before they even get to play the Giants.

[James Steele]

If Jerry Jones would quit being a fucking douche, Parcells would have won a SuperBowl last year and I wouldn't have to hear about how Eli is as good as his brother.

AssMan, that was what I was referring to. I think the Cowboys will pay the Giants back. Also, I quit using that line years ago you dipshit.

[Gonzo]

lol stfu

[Innovator]

First time I'll ever say this

But let's go Eagles

What

[James Steele]

Jerry Jones needs to quit acting like he is a coach. Bill Parcells had discipline and wanted to run the team the way he saw fit, but Jerry wants a little pussy bitch like Wade he can manipulate. We won SuperBowls with crack dealers, but we can't win a superbowl with a bunch of fucking prettyboys. We have turned into the fucking Yankees.

[Vastardikai]

Wes Welker got fined by the league for the Snow Angel during NE's 47-7 slaughter of Arizona.

I normally hate the Patriots and give them all the shit in the world, but come on. I think TD celebrations, as long as they're not done in the spirit of bad sportsmanship, should be allowed. I thought the Snow Angel was pretty cool.

[SammyG]

COMPLETELY agree, MAD bullshit that he got fined.

[Triple A]

Real glad the Patriots game is at 1 and the Jets/Dolphins is at 4. If the Patriots win I am just gonna root for the Jets to lose. :'( Rather have the Dolphins and Pennington in the playoffs.

[RP]

The only game i'm paying attention to this week is Chargers vs Broncos. If the Broncs fuck this up ... things will happen. Not really.

[VonErichLives]

Real glad the Patriots game is at 1 and the Jets/Dolphins is at 4. If the Patriots win I am just gonna root for the Jets to lose. :'( Rather have the Dolphins and Pennington in the playoffs.

If the Pats win and the Jets win and the Ravens lose...

don't the Jets get the Wild Card?

or would it be the Ravens?

[VonErichLives]

ok, just looked and yes.

If the Pats win and the Jets win and the Ravens lose, the Jets get the WC and Travel to NE week 1 of the playoffs.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Odds for result of Det v. G.B.:

-Lions personnel refuse to show up, forfeiting their way to 0-16: 2-1
-Pack squash Detroit like everyone else this season: 50-1
-Detroit scores game-winning safety with :01 left in game: OFF

[Team Sheep]

The Jets need to beat the Dolphins and hope that either the Patriots lose to the Bills or the Ravens lose to the Jaguars. Not looking too promising.

[DrA]

What has happened to my Detroit Lions

[RP]

Look

I think Wes Welker is a fucking prick for sho, but that fine is the most ridiculous thing ever. I remember people doing that like every year. Didnt Steve Smith do that last year? Thats a joke. Welker got robbed. I wont lose any sleep over it, but he got robbed.

I see Giants VS Steelers in the Superbowl. I called it at the beginning of the season, however I would love to see my favorite team THE COLTS against the Giants.

Manning VS Manning Super Bowl = Biggest Ratings of all time in Super Bowl History

[SammyG]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

2-14 holler

[Boomer]

Can't say I don't mind playing one of the coldest teams in the first round of the playoffs...but the Falcons pass defense has been pretty bad recently. Looking forward to it, though.

[ClockShot]

Lions did it.

[McLegend]

FUCKIN A

[DaveWadding]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

2-14 holler

Can't believe I picked them to go 5-11 :nono:

[SammyG]

Yeah, awful. Jackson was amazing today though. That play where he caught a shitty Bulger pass one handed, then hurdled that cornerback was tremendous

[McLegend]

27-3 AT THE HALF

Dallas Cowboys, Superbowl favorites

[ClockShot]

Flacco is surgical with the ball today. Only missed 4 right now.

I am, but still Cowboys....:nono:

Now the question is:

Will Wade Phillips make it into the locker room before being fired?

I say throw the entire team into Texas Stadium and have Jerry or T.O. push the plunger.

[McLegend]

Michael Bush is my favorite player of ever.

[IC Champion]

Now the question is:

Will Wade Phillips make it into the locker room before being fired?

I hope not, though it's more Jason Garrett and the offenses fault more than anything. Though the defense hasn't looked good the last couple weeks.

[D Mac]

KC talking with Marty Schottenheimer again. :lol:

[Hanso Amore]

No coaching staff is worse than the Bills.

And somehow they resigned Dick Jauron to 3 more years.

What a fucking joke.

Im juts glad this year is over for me. I honestly have been pushed to the brink by Buffalo.

Until Ralph Wilson dies, this team will continue to do nothing, and I might as well start rooting for the Giants.

[IC Champion]

Once Ralphy is dead the team is as good as in Toronto.

[Hanso Amore]

Once Ralphy is dead the team is as good as in Toronto.

Nah, I wont deny that the team is on the radar for a move, but not to Toronto now.

Ted Rogers is dead, and the several games the Bills sold to Toronto have been a failure.

THe move to Toronto idea came when the Canadian Dollar was up.

Now that it is back down, and with the economy the way it is in both countries, as well the fact that Toronto doesnt give a shit about the NFL makes me think it is not an option.

I think in the next 2 years L.A. Will be renewed as the place looking for a team.

[Innovator]

Dallas Cowboys, favorites to win the Superbowl, America's Team

[ClockShot]

Prater missed 2 already.

All we need is a full moon and a black cat and this game is as good as done.

[OssMan]

This game just guarantees that the Cowboys do not go 10-6

Toronto is North America's 5th largest market, and probably one of the richest too. Apparently Rogers is still interested in bringing an NFL team to Toronto.

And the Canadian dollar doesn't matter in Toronto, charge a bit more, people in Toronto will still pay.

True.

But I just dont see it happening before a Team Lands in LA, as hard as they try.

The Bills Lease is up in 2012, so it could happen then if things progress. Who knows.

[ClockShot]

Halftime.............sheesh.

I really REALLY hope John Elway and Terrell Davis come out of the tunnel for the 2nd half.:(

Cowfags suck

[SammyG]

lol Denver

[Boomer]

This postseason is going to be amazing. Every game should be a fun one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bengals went from 2nd pick in the draft to 6th with this win streak. Stupid idiots. Oh well at least we're not the Chiefs. :rofl:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really weird how all 4 wild card teams are potentially the favorites over the division champs in the first round.

I will be ecstatic if the Vikings can somehow beat the Eagles because out of all the Giants' possible Divisional Round playoff opponents, I worry about them the most. However, the Vikes barely beat the Giants' backups so I dunno.</font>

[Shadow]

Eh...Zorn's rookie season goes average. Not bad for a first year coach that nobody has a clue about. Next year though.................he better get a winning leader.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Still can't believe it came down to the wire for the Pats with Matt Cassell as the starting QB, or the tons of other random ass replacements (such as Junior Seau and Rosevelt Colvin) Can't believe the Dolphins won the AFC East either, at least the GUNSLINGER Brett Favre isn't making it...although it would have been nice to see him not throw a Pick-6 for once today

[Triple A]

Causing the Pats to miss the playoffs makes everything worthwhile.

[OssMan]

Was gonna go to the gay ass Giants playoff game but NOOOOO they're playing on Sunday in the divisional round and I have to be back at school :y:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Causing the Pats to miss the playoffs makes everything worthwhile.

Made cutting Chad Pennington worthwhile? If that didn't happen Miami wouldn't have gotten Pennington and the Dolphins wouldn't have been a contedner in the AFC East picture this year (can you even name the other QBs on their roster?) Jets might have been able to set up in the Dolphins absence (Favre would probably throw a demoralizing INT in an important game though so I doubt it) Stupid fucking Brett Favre fucked things up more ways than one this year for the Pats, although I don't think the Patriots would have made it very far in the playoffs - never know though.

Kinda glad the Chargers made it at 8-8 rather than the Broncos, seeing how at least the Chargers actually beat the Patriots (granted earlier on in the season before the offense/Cassell really got the shit going but still) unlike the the Broncos who got absolutely demolished (also demolished the 'Phins in their last meeting :( )


lol @ the Saints finishing last in the NFC South though, so hilarious after just reading Krispy's reactions to people saying that would happen in the predictions thread. I told you motherfuckers about Matt Ryan, most NFL ready QB I've personally ever seen play in college...

[RP]

NFC Championship Game - Panthers vs Giants ( Very likely to happen

AFC Championship Game - Colts vs Jagoffs ( who wasnt wrong about the Jags? If I woulda replaced them with the Titans, i'd be golden.

Superbowl - Colts vs Giants - Colts win ( This is happening )

MVP- Brian Westbrook ( not even close i guess )

Defensive Player of the Year- Comon... bob sanders ( not close )

Anthony Gonzales will make the Pro Bowl this year. ( Its gunna happen, just not this year )

Falcons will make the playoffs ( BOOM! )

Rookie of The Year - Matt Ryan ( BOOM! )

Patriots wont make the playoffs ( BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM TOUGH ACTIN TENACTIN! )

[ClockShot]

Heads better roll in Denver within the next few weeks.

Word going around is that Romeo Crennel is packing up his stuff.

[Boomer]

I have work during the Falcons game for the third week in a row. Good lord. I really hate that I'm probably going to have to work during the Superbowl too. I'm not sure if I could tape a game and actually not be antsy enough to not check the score during the game.

[Innovator]

Was gonna go to the gay ass Giants playoff game but NOOOOO they're playing on Sunday in the divisional round and I have to be back at school :y:
no excuse

[Innovator]

Mangini out

[FearedSanctity]

ALL THESE DEFENSIVE COACHES GETTING FIRED AND WE WON'T HIRE ANY OF THEM :rant:

[Team Sheep]

C'mon Bill Cowher

[Triple A]

Mangini :-\ meh

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's everybody's fault but Favre's. Mangini made Favre throw 9 ints in his last 5 games.

[Boomer]

He did bring in Favre, who at his age was certain to wear down the stretch, but I agree nonetheless.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Apparently Mangini's firing was a result of fan pressure which if true is pathetic. But hey, it worked with Pennington.

[ClockShot]

Marinelli out at Detroit.

Browns tried to bring in Bill Cowher, but he said no.

[ClockShot]

ALL THESE DEFENSIVE COACHES GETTING FIRED AND WE WON'T HIRE ANY OF THEM :rant:

We've got all offseason. Relax.

[Gonzo]

Raiders are interested in interviewing Kevin Gilbride (Giant's OC) for their HC position. Reported that Tom Cable has a strong chance of retaining however. I'd rather see Gilbride stay to maintain what we have going on, but we'll see.

[FearedSanctity]

We've got all offseason. Relax.

Apparently Shanahan said after the game that there will be no DC change for next year.

I understand it's a bad idea to have a third DC in 3 years, but come on. You can only be so forgiving for a first year. When your defense is so bad you break several team records for defensive terribleness....

The Broncos also yielded more than 400 points for the second straight year, while finishing in the bottom 10 in a wide range of other defensive categories in franchise annals, including first downs, rushing yards, passing yards, rushing touchdowns and average gain per play.

Again, his first year (for us, anyways) I know, but Christ, I honestly believe ANY of us here could've done better.

[RP]

Nobody is more upset about the Broncos failure to win the division then me. I was really looking forward to that 42-7 thrashing the Colts were gunna give the Broncos in the Wild Card game.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I had rather see the Colts fuck San Diego up.

Actually, I just want to see Bob Sanders smack the shit out of Philip Rivers. If there is one human being in this world I can not stand to look at, it's Philip Rivers.

Look at this fucking stupid face. I remember last year when Rivers was taunting Colts fans after they beat Indy in the playoffs.

And as for Mangini...I feel bad for him, honestly. No one wants to step on Butt Favre's toes, so they oust the coach instead. Because he totally wanted to see 37 interceptions thrown. I heard on ESPN that Favre was basically grilled in front of everyone in the locker room over his shitty throws. Serves him right.

He's like the Hulk Hogan of football. Never going to retire.

[James Steele]

How can Jerry Jones look in the mirror knowing he fired Tom fucking Landry, but he keeps this push-over piece of shit Wade. He needs to get on his knees and suck Parcell's cock to come back. I am calling a Dolphins/Falcons SuperBowl.

[James Steele]

DrA, the Cowboys have turned into the Yankees. This is a horrible day for football.

[Crimson]

Cowboys aren't goin anywhere anytime soon. Jerry Jones is turning into Al Davis he'll only hire push over coaches, and overpay for certain players. Why can't he go after Cowher?? there's someone I wouldn't mind seeing get overpaid. Jones is losing it if he doesn't fire Phillips.

[ClockShot]

Texans are housecleaning.

Defensive Coordinator Richard Smith, Secondary coach Jon Hoke, and Defensive Line coach Jethro Franklin all got the ax.

[James Steele]

I hope the Texans do well. They have been getting better every year, and I think they can make the playoffs in the next couple of years and make a decent run at the SuperBowl too.

[Hanso Amore]

OH MY FUCKING GOD I AM LOSING IT

The Bills Announced they will not be firing Dick Jauron and will bring him back for 3 more years.

Jauron has 1 winning season in 8 seasons as a coach. He mismanaged a 5-1 team to a 2-8 finish.

3 Straight 7-9 years. He is constiently outcoached and clueless.

The AFC could go into next year under the umbrellas of Belicheck, Cowher, Parcells....and jauron....

Seriously, this guy is the worst coach I have ever seen, and the fact that he is not fired is destroying the bills fans. There were 15000 season ticket holders that signed a petition to cancel if he is not fired, myself included.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Mike Shanahan gets the ax</font>

[Hanso Amore]

Wow, Shanahan who won 2 bowls, Crennel who has had a 10 win season, Mangini with 2 winning seasons out of 3 all get fired, adn DICK FUCKING JAURON IS STILL IN A JOB!

I have been a loyal Bills fan through my whole life of pain and embarassment, I just cant do it anymore.

[OssMan]

It's really not that big of a deal that your coach hasn't been fired

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>2010 Pro Bowl has been moved to Miami and will be played the week before the Super Bowl.

Although it does make more sense overall, as having it after the year is fucking stupid...I'm pretty sure this means none of the Pro Bowlers in the Super Bowl will be playing...which could end up being a big chunk.</font>

[James Steele]

Wow, I can not believe Denver fired Shanahan.

[Triple Naitch]

Shanahan's grace period is finally over after winning two Super Bowls. He should have been gone last year. He has brought in the wrong guys and has been too stubborn to change his game plan. I just wish there was a way for them to try and bring in Gary Kubiak.

[James Steele]

Kubiak won't leave because he can be the guy to put the Texans on the map.

[Team Sheep]

Not surprised about Shanahan, he needs a change of scenery. Those 2 Super Bowls are a distant memory and there's only so long you can go firing coordinators and kidding yourself the guru head coach isn't to blame. His ship has sailed.

[James Steele]

I wonder where Shanahan will go. We all know he won't be unemployed for long unless he decides to retire.

[Team Sheep]

Jets in talks with Cowher and Spagnuolo :D

[James Steele]

Why the hell does Wade still have a job?

[Triple Naitch]

I think Shanahan is going to take a year or two off before coaching again.

[ClockShot]

HOLY SHIT! THE MASTERMIND GOT FIRED! AND NOT BOB SLOWIK! :eek:

Wow. I'm in shock right now.

[James Steele]

I wonder who Denver will go after.

[ClockShot]

Also coming over the line, Mike Martz out as OC in San Fran.

[ClockShot]

I wonder who Denver will go after.

MartyBall in Denver got a good ring to it. Get revenge on San Diego.

[James Steele]

Y'all should try and hire Wade Phillips. He is a proven winner, and a defensive guy.

[James Steele]

:shifty:

[Team Sheep]

Lol Mike Martz.

[James Steele]

I wonder if any college coaches will try to jump into the NFL.

[Hanso Amore]

It's really not that big of a deal that your coach hasn't been fired

To Bills fans it is. He is by far the worst coach in the league.

[Gonzo]

Jets in talks with Cowher and Spagnuolo :D

I hope Spags stays with the Giants. If he has a chance to be the HC and stay in NY I have a feeling he might take it.

[SammyG]

Come to St.Louis, Shanahan.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Got a feeling Josh McDaniels is gonna be a head coach somewhere, maybe a McDaniels and Cassell package to a team like the Lions?

[James Steele]

Lions will get Bradford in the draft, unless God hears my prayers.

[FearedSanctity]

Finally.


Also, I like the sound of a Pioli/McDaniels combo


HOLY SHIT! THE MASTERMIND GOT FIRED! AND NOT BOB SLOWIK! :eek:

Wow. I'm in shock right now.


Word is, apparently he might've gotten the ax for refusing to fire him

[James Steele]

Mike Shanahan needs to be named the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

[RP]

Rivers has his coming. Dont think Indy fans forgot. I think Indy is gunna torch the Chargers tbh. I really think this is gunna be a blow out. The Chargers are not a good team. They just arent. I'm worried about Sproles and thats about it. I mean, if they were smart they'd just throw screen passes to Sproles all day long, but even that plays into the Colts defense so...

37-14 Colts

[James Steele]

I hope Peyton Manning just bitchslaps the Charger's defense around all night. Philip Rivers is more annoying than Romo, and Romo fucking smiles after throwing picks and being a giant pussy in the NFL.

[RP]

I dont mind Rivers. I really hate L.T. I hate the guy's press conferences. He really does seem like he doesnt even wanna be there. I hate how he talks. I hate how looks like he's gunna cry. I think he's soft and gutless for standing on the sideline last year in that championship game while Rivers was playing with a ripped up knee. I just hate the guys guts. I hope he doesnt play. He dont deserve to be out there with people who actually wanna be out there. He's the most overhyped player in the history of the game. I forget who, but someone wrote a column about how he was a class act recently. BULL SHIT. The guy pouts and cries in post game pressers . I hope Bob Sanders suplex's him into retirement.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

HOLY SHIT! THE MASTERMIND GOT FIRED! AND NOT BOB SLOWIK! :eek:

Wow. I'm in shock right now.

Whoever the new guy is will clean house anyway.

If Shanny wants a year off I'm sure Kyle could use someone to hold his clipboard.

Don't forget Brian Billick is still out there. Not saying he'll get the Broncos job but any head coach available would probably want it.

[ClockShot]

We need to bring in a guy who's defensive minded. Cowher would be that guy. Steve Spagnoulo out of NY would be awesome too. Unless these guys want power, Bowlen gotta go and get a GM first and foremost.

[FearedSanctity]

Really hoping we don't lose Bobby Turner or Jeremy Bates, though we probably will. I see both of them following Shanahan, sadly

[ClockShot]

Chad Pennington is your AP Comeback Player of the Year

Jerod Mayo is your AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.

[ClockShot]

And Jerry Jones has started to sharpen the ax.

Special Teams coach Bruce Read is gone.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Rivers has his coming. Dont think Indy fans forgot.
LOL The Indy fans are gonna GET HIM

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Jerod Mayo is your AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.


YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. :love:

lol Chad Pennington won comeback player of the year for the 2nd time in the last 3 years :o :love:

[RP]

LOL The Indy fans are gonna GET HIM

lol remember when Belichek called that time out and ruined a field goal attempt and then put his poorly coached player out on the field and got a personal foul penalty and cost the Pats that game against the Colts this year, that coincidently if he had won, would have put them in the playoffs.

Oh man good times.

GOOOD TIMES!!!

LOL REmember when you vanished from this board when Tom Brady got injured ROFL. OHHHH MAn you're such a true fan. GOOD TIMES FOR ALL !

lol Chad Pennington won comeback player of the year for the 2nd time in the last 3 years :o :love:

You think Chris Berman will say " No one circles the wagons like Chad Pennington! "?

[SammyG]

Yeah, I forgot this one doesn't do coke.

Broncos have asked the Bucs for permission to talk to Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris about the head coaching spot.

A player on my favorite team getting hurt doesn't impact decisions I make in my life, so if makes me a non-true fan then I guess I'm not.

The reason I haven't been posting is because I was busy with school and coaching. I sure hope Phillip Rivers watches out for those Indy fans though, because they haven't forgotten!!!!

Also I highly recommend everyone reads LT's "Over the Edge" book - it's pretty awesome. Some of the stories he has are unbelievable.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Gotta love all the Jets players throwing Favre under the bus. Especially Thomas Jones.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

THE GUNSLINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worried about Poili leaving the Patriots, could be in for some serious trouble if he bounces. Heard he has "ridiculous" demands though, almost so ridiculous that its like he doesn't want to leave NE.

I don't think McDaniels leaving would be as big of a deal, however the offense was pretty impressive this year considering Brady got hurt in the 1st quarter of game #1.
