NFL 2008-2009 Season Thread

[DaveWadding]

LOL the Cardinals might get blacked out :rofl:

[SammyG]

that is so awful

[DaveWadding]

It's hilarious...1st playoff game in 10 years and you cant fill up your BRAND FUCKING NEW STADIUM with people to watch it? :rofl:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Its dumb they would black it out

[DaveWadding]

Its dumb they would black it out

Who wants to watch the Cardinals anyway?

[Vastardikai]

I want to see them...



















Get beat by the Falcons.

[DaveWadding]

Michael Turner 150 yards and 2 TDs tomorrow, BOOK IT.

[SammyG]

i just wonder why they can't sell it out. Economy being bad? Week after X-mas and people are broke?

[RP]

If Arizone cant sell there game out, they should never be allowed in the playoffs again. Atleast not be allowed to have a home game. Thats so fucking stupid. If this game was in Atlanta, they'd sell out in like 4 hours.

[OssMan]

We refused to pay $80,000 to keep our Giants season tickets so maybe we will by season tickets for the Cardinals

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Vikings might not sell out either

[RoXer]

$1,000 for two decent seats.

$100 for nosebleeds.

Dave, you wanna go?

[RoXer]

You're paying.

[Nervous Ferret]

NFL 2008-2009 Season Thread. This has bothered me for a long time.

[D Mac]

Shanahan should go to the Chiefs!

[RP]

I wish these games were today

[James Steele]

Tom Brady might miss the 2009 season because of infections in his knee. Karma is a bitch Tombo.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well that makes the decision to retain Cassel easier. Not sure what the top 5 QB prices average out to be but if they've got the cap space it wouldn't shock me to see them Franchise Tag Cassel so as to not make a long-term commitment to him in case Tom comes back.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

$12m

[Boomer]

I can't believe I have to miss the Falcons game again. I'm going to go crazy at work. It's probably going to keep happening too...retail and weekends is no fun.

[Evil Vito]

I can't believe I have to miss the Falcons game again. I'm going to go crazy at work. It's probably going to keep happening too...retail and weekends is no fun.

<font color=goldenrod>Record the game, and avoid ALL sources that would tell you the results. Watch it as if it were live when you get back home. :cool:

I did that with the Giants a few years back.

And according to ESPN, Peyton Manning will be named MVP</font>

[Boomer]

Unfortunately I don't have a VCR, and I haven't had my MythTV box set up for ages, so I can't record it. Not unless I come back later today and spend all day just trying to set it up for that one game.

If I did it, nobody at work better fuck it up for me. I would punch them in the face.

[Heros Welcome]

Peyton takes home MVP #3 32 Votes

Pennington and Turner follow suit with 4 votes

[SammyG]

Good for Peyton, he deserves it.

[RP]

PEYTON:love:

Best QB ever

[Boomer]

I have no way of recording the game, thanks to no 64-bit drivers for my old capture card.

I guess I'm fucked.

[ClockShot]

Add Steve Spagnuolo, Josh McDaniels, and Jason Garrett to the list of names to the Broncos head coaching spot.

[ClockShot]

Edgerrin James is probably out of Arizona now that Tim Hightower has made his presence known.

[RP]

Tim " I Cant Run For Short Yardage " Hightower

[Y2Ant]

Isn't that like criticizing yourself for having a big penis?

[DaveWadding]

Dammit, they are gonna show the Cardinals game tomorrow.

[James Steele]

Isn't that like criticizing yourself for having a big penis?

No, because if a RB can't convert a 3 & 1, then he is worthless.

[Boomer]

I had to installed 32-bit Vista on a random hard drive, but I got Windows MCE up and running. This recording better go well.

[RP]

Rod Woodson, on NFL Network, just said Peyton Manning should give the MVP award back to Demarcus Ware..............Demarcus ...... Ware...........

I'm all for having opinions, but com the fuck on. This guy should be fired just for saying something that dumb. This isnt an opinion. This is sensationalism. This guy should be gone next year. What a moron.

[DrA]

Here is someone like me would give anything to see the Arizona Cardinals play, and they can't even sell out their stadium.

[RP]

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP)—The NFL has given the Minnesota Vikings one last chance to sell out the Metrodome for Sunday’s playoff game against Philadelphia.

The Vikings have until 4:30 p.m. EST on Saturday to sell the remaining 3,100 tickets to avoid a television blackout in local markets.

The task isn’t as daunting as it appeared earlier in the week. The Vikings were granted their first extension on Thursday and still had a whopping 8,000 tickets to unload to avoid the first blackout since 1997.

But the team made big strides, selling nearly 5,000 tickets as of Friday afternoon. The remaining tickets are priced $80, $120 and $160 a piece. It’s the first time the Vikings have been in the playoffs since the 2004 season.

Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals have sold enough tickets to Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons for it to be televised in the Phoenix area.

The NFL gave the team two 24-hour extensions, the last expiring Friday afternoon. About 2,400 tickets remained Friday morning.

Tickets returned from the visiting team allotment and club seats remain available for purchase. Neither counts against the blackout rules.




Stay classy Minnesota

[James Steele]

I saw on ESPN where one of the teams sold a bunch of tickets to a dude who owns a pool supply company and he gave away 2 tickets for each $100 of pool supplies purchased.

[Heros Welcome]

I have been waiting for this day for the past 5 years! LETS GO DIRTY BIRDS!!!

[SammyG]

lol what, Edge is starting

[SammyG]

these announcers are awful and it's only been 28 seconds into the game

[DaveWadding]

CHRIST.

[SammyG]

lol are the Cardinals seriously playing this well right now

[RoXer]

these announcers are awful and it's only been 28 seconds into the game

Good thing you don't play Madden.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Keith Brooking blows the coverage and the Cards are headed east. Where they'll get smashed, no doubt.

[Heros Welcome]

Brooking has been pissing me off all fuckin season, and he blows the coverage when we needed him most...MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!

Hell of a run ATL...hell of a run...

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Coulda been Lofton on that coverage...you never know. Either way neither LB should have been worried about coming up on that RB leaking out of the backfield.

Matt Ryan is the future though, that last scoring drive they had the Falcons didn't run the ball once. He lead them down the field to put them in a position to win - the defense just couldn't step up.

[RoXer]

Where in the hell did Edge come from? I don't think anyone in thier right mind was expecting that kind of game. I mean it's just 73 yards but but that's huge jump. 73 yards is about his season total. :haha:

I almost killed everything around me when they tried that end-around the last possesion. WTF play call was that. Even if that got us a touchdown I would have still said it was a bad call.

I'm really hoping to play at Carolina next week.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I really hope the Vikes can somehow pull one out tomorrow because I'd MUCH rather play the Cardinals...but I just can't see the Eagles losing.</font>

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Please God,

Let the Colts win. Please let Bob Sanders completely obliterate Philip Rivers. Badly.

I will be forever grateful.

- Me

[Boomer]

A few gift plays on both sides. The Falcons could have won...Arizona basically won all on big plays.

I'm pleased though. Matt Ryan played really really well.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Yeah, even though they lost, Falcons looked good today. And I'm very glad to say that, considering the state they were in a year ago.

[RP]

COMON COLTS! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Mike Scifres has been insane this game.</font>

[Nervous Ferret]

I am rooting for the winner of the Ravens/Chad Pennington game. Then after that I guess the Cardinals. And after that I guess the Panthers. I am ok with a Steelers Superbowl. Any other team I really do not like. Eh, I could live with an Eagles or Titans Superbowl. Atlanta would have been ok too.

Just please not the Giants, Vikings, Chargers or Colts, especially Giants/Colts. :roll: I had enough torture last year with Pats/Giants.

The point is, I need to start liking a better team :(

[UmbrellaCorporation]

COME ON COLTS.

FUCK SAN DIEGO

[Nervous Ferret]

Teams that I like:
Jets (obv)
---------
Packers
Bengals
Jaguars
49ers

Teams I hate:
Patriots
Giants
Colts
Dolphins (sans Chad)
Raiders
Chiefs
Chargers
Saints



And everyone else I am pretty indifferent to. So every year I am pretty much relegated to rooting for teams that I don't really care for over teams that I can't stand. J-E-T-S JEST JEST JEST :(

[UmbrellaCorporation]

How are you feeling about the Mangini firing, Nerf?

I'm not from NYC, so I dunno what everyone's thinking about it up there, but it seems pretty gay to me, tbqh.

[Crimson]

Another great indy/SD game

[IC Champion]

Another great indy/SD game

They always seem to have great games.

[IC Champion]

And now its over toys.

[KingofOldSchool]

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

CHHHOOOOOKKKEEE

[IC Champion]

And the penalties will haunt Indy.

[Nervous Ferret]

I liked Mangini, but it seemed to be the popular thing to do. Really at 8-3 coming off wins AT New England and AT Tennesse to finish 9-7... is just an embarrassment. Hard to forgive something like that, even if a lot of it was on Favre. (It was) But then there was some piss poor gameplanning too. (How does Leon Washington NOT get 10-15 touches a game? pitiful)

But getting rid of Mangini was a very popular decision amongst JEts fans, to answer your question.


wooo colts suck

[KingofOldSchool]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[IC Champion]

AND THE LIL MAN WINS IT

[Crimson]

loolll latterrr Indy

[KingofOldSchool]

The Dolts are the Bolts bitches in the playoffs

[Crimson]

LT didn't even look happy, what a bitch

[IC Champion]

8-8, and just knocked Indy. Wow.

[IC Champion]

LT didn't even look happy, what a bitch

Because he might lose his spot. Sproles is fucking ridiculous.

[KingofOldSchool]

8-8, and just knocked Indy. Wow.

But then again, who can't knock off Corky and Co. in the playoffs? Well except for the Bears, but we can blame Rex Grossman sucking for that.

[IC Champion]

Sproles has 328 yards, that more yards than the average team throws for.

[Team Sheep]

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

[KingofOldSchool]

I just wish the game was in Indy so Rivers could taunt the fans like last year.

[Team Sheep]

Hey I was just beating everyone else to it.

Lol what a game.

[Nervous Ferret]

Rivers is such a hateable person that I actually like him :-\

KoOS who is your team? Because the only time I see you post in here is to rip on the Colts. I mean I really don't like the Colts either, but there is no denying they have been a top franchise for the last decade or so. WHAT'S YOUR BEEF SON?

The Niners and I'm damn proud of it.

But I loathe the Colts and their lame ass bandwagon fans so it is extra sweet when they lose and I go around town the day after, I see so many depressed fans. Which will be funny because once Harrison and Manning retires and they start to suck again, all of those fans will go away.

And now I get to watch the news where all of the depressed fans are crying over it.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I'm not a major Colts fan, but I don't like SD.

And I can not wait until Pit or Ten shit all over their faces. And maybe Rivers will get injured.

[DaveWadding]

The Niners and I'm damn proud of it.

Irony :rofl:

but still, INDIANAPOLIS LOLTS.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I would have loved to see a Manning Bowl...but I don't care much either way. Gotta love Darren Sproles, probably the only NFL player shorter than me. :o

I really wish they would change overtime rules tho. At least give the other team a shot. Just because that would lead to more epic games.</font>

[Crimson]

Why in the world would anyone want the 'Manning bowl'?? Last thing i want is the Mannings' grill all over the tv screen..and then the media sucking Archies cock for 2 weeks?? you gotta be kiddin me. I hope it never happens.

[Team Sheep]

God this is what I love about the NFL. How a team can just come from nowhere and be world beaters.

Playoffs :love:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well I'm a Giants fan, so obviously I want to see them in it...and seeing a Manning Bowl would be an awesome culmination of the past 2 years.

However, I really don't care. Let's go Giants/Dolphins!</font> :shifty:

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Even though I don't particularly like SD, I've gotta admit that Sproles was beastin' last night.

Rivers should be glad Sproles was there to bail his ass out.

[Gertner]

hehehe CHOKE! Faggot Manning can take his MVP award and shove it up his lame ass.

[Crimson]

Yo, where's the Colts fan(s)?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I am literally chomping at the bit to see whether TN or PIT plays SD.

Ed Reed continues to be ridiculous.

Dammit, they aint making it any easier are they. :(

you're playing 4 playoff teams 2 home and 2 away (not counts the Charges who won your division at 8-8).

What did you want for a schedule?

The Lions 16 times?

[James Steele]

Those NFC east opponents will not be easy games.

[FearedSanctity]

From what I’m hearing, the Broncos loved New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who seems to be formulating his staff, including Dom Capers as his defensive coordinator. The Broncos will not take much more time and will make a decision in the next week.

:heart:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I read in the Boston Herald today that economics could be a factor in hiring McDaniels too, since they still owe Shannan a ton of money plus the owner owns a part of the arena league team in Denver (which had it season canceled). So hiring younger cheaper coach would make a lot of sense.

[ClockShot]

:heart:

I'd make a run for Rex Ryan. But he's telling everybody to leave him alone until something happens with the Ravens.

[ClockShot]

In other news.

Eric Mangini is your new Browns head coach.

Cowboys release Adam Jones.

[Vastardikai]

One Cancer Down, One to go. (TO)

[ClockShot]

Broncos have interviewed 7 guys for the Head Coach job. Now we wait and see if we have a winner, or we gotta go another round.

[ClockShot]

Bill Romanowski says he wants to coach the Broncos.

I got my good laugh for today after reading that.

[FearedSanctity]

Broncos narrowing the targets from 7 to 3.

Two of the three are (allegedly) Josh McDaniels and Raheem Morris, with the third being between Steve Spagnuolo and Leslie Frazier.

[Synopsis]

Raheem BrocK?

[D Mac]

Pacman Jones is released.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

McDaniels had a second, 5.5 hour interview. Take that for what it's worth.

[Gonzo]

If Spags leaves the Giants I'm going to be pissed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Spagnuolo is a goner I'm afraid. Last year it was really just the Redskins that offered him a job...and people praised him but said that might be his only shot.

However, the D was amazing again and now every team with a vacancy wants him. I just can't seem him passing it up.</font>

[Big Fat Mike]

Head Coaching is alot of work. The guy makes $2 million a year to work with JUST the defense. And he has a great group of guys to work with, not to mention a returning osi umenyora next season. I say he stays.

[ClockShot]

This Ravens/Titans game is serious.

[McLegend]

I really think Joe Flacco stepped on the white line in the Endzone.

[OssMan]

Ravens are fucking dirty team led by a murderer on their defense. I hate them

I also hate the Titans because they are the shittiest 13-3 team ever and they are led by Kerry Collins so it was kinda obvious they were not going to go far.

[McLegend]

He clearly did not step on white line in the Endzone.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Bolden will not play! PPPPAAAANNNNNTTTTTHHHHHHEEERRRSSSSSS!

[Innovator]

Bolden needs two weeks to heal from anything, hamstring to broken face

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, this is insane</font>

[Johnny Vegas]

I know Carolina is not about to lose to the Cardinals...

[ClockShot]

Wow. The old men came to play today.

[Innovator]

Larry Fitzgerald is stupid good

[D Mac]

LOL Dellhome sucks

[D Mac]

Wow 5 INT


I'd cut his ass.

[James Steele]

MY THROW STYLE...DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE!

[RoXer]

AHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHA

[Boomer]

Joe Flacco will outshine Matt Ryan this year only because his defense is fucking ridiculous.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Jumping on the Cardinals bandwagon

Although I wouldn't mind to see the Ravens win it all either

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Out of the 6 teams left, the order I'd like to see them win:

1. Giants (obviously)
2. Cardinals (just for the shock value, nobody could have seen it coming, plus Kurt Warner)
3. Chargers (I hate Philip Rivers but an 8-8 team winning it all would be pretty ROFL)
4. Ravens (Rookie QB winning the SB would be a great story, amazing D)
5. Steelers (I mean them no disrespect but the other teams all intrigue me more)




6. Eagles (fuck 'em)

[D Mac]

Go Cards!

Kurt Warner is cool.

[OssMan]

1. Giants
2. Steelers; friend likes them dont mind them even though they're boring and always on Monday/Sunday night
3. Cardinals; absolute joke team who doesn't belong in the playoffs but I like Fitzgerald
4. Chargers; Hate LaDainian Tomlinson, really hate their announces too, I don't know.
5. Ravens; Really low team, dunno how anyone can be a fan of them
6. Eagles

[Gonzo]

Stealing Vito's idea.

1. Giants — BACK TO BACK
2. Ravens — I enjoy watching them play.
3. Steelers — Same as the Ravens, sick defense.
4. Cardinals — Never won a Super Bowl so it would be nice to see.
5. Chargers — I hate Philip Rivers and dislike the powder blues, so screw them.
6. Eagles — Not only do I hope they don't win the Super Bowl, I hope the Giants send them back to Philadelphia battered and bruised.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

.... I hate you all....

[James Steele]

Fuck the Giants and Eagles.

I can't stand the Chargers or Steelers.

Ravens are thugs led by OJ 2.0 and the Cards are a fluke. This shit can not be real.

[VonErichLives]

1. Cardinals - be a great story and good for warner
2. Chargers - this is tough because i'm not an LT fan, but Rivers earned a lot of respect playing injured in the playoffs last year.
3. Eagles - let McNabb get a ring and wave it in TO's face.
4. Ravens - Flaco... and a sick D, if it wasn't that Ray Lewis already has a ring i'd have them higher, but there are soo many good stories this year.
5. Giants - only to let people argue that Eli is better then Peyton :P
6. Steelers - a lot of players who were on the steelers that made me hate them are gone, but i'm not ready to let go of the hate just yet.

[D Mac]

Cards
Eagles
Steelers
Ravens
Chargers
Giants

[ClockShot]

1. Cardinals - Old Man Warner could get one last ring and probably retire. It would probably be right up there with the Rays storywise.

2. Ravens - Flacco got a chance to make some history. All depends on who's winning the AFC game today.

3a. Giants - Can Big Blue go back to back? Will they survive without last year's star Plaxico Burress?

3b. Steelers - Wouldn't mind seeing them go back.

5. Eagles - McNabb only gets a second crack at a ring.

6. Chargers - As a Broncos fan, I'm sworn to hate. And if they go all the way, we won't hear the end of it.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Way to go, Cards. I feel great about that. :D

Now to hope that Pittsburgh rapes San Diego today.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Asante Samuel gettin paid son

[DrA]

Not a bad way for us to end the first half. We need to start the second half completely on the offensive however.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Honestly, as soon as Manning rolled out on that INT...I screamed NOOOOOO because I knew it would be picked. You never throw the ball on 1st down that close to your own goal line.

Anyway, that FG at the end worried me big time. Offense needs to step up...and I'm pretty sure the Giants will be going AGAINST the wind in the 4th...shit.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

1. Eagles - Just so the Bengals can say they tied the champs plus Trent Cole and Brent Celek are both Cincinnati boys. Plus if Philly wins then Boston fans will have to shut the fuck up about being the best sports city
2. Cardinals - To give Bengals fans hope that literally anything is possible in this batshit crazy league
3. Giants - Nothing against them, but they won it last year
4. Ravens - Typical division rival hate but I'll root for them against Pittsburgh
5. Chargers - Hate for Shawne Merriman is just strong enough to knock them below the Ravens
6. Steelers - Hate the team, hate the fans, hate everything about them.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

That was the worst attempt at a QB sneak I've ever seen

[KingofOldSchool]

I can't believe Arizona is over 4 minutes away from hosting the NFC Championship game.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I wonder how many blackout extensions they'll need this time.

[CSL]

Well that's that then

[VonErichLives]

grabbing the phone on the giant sideline was a punk move though.

[IC Champion]

Oh go away VEL. Tom Brady might miss next season, shouldnt you be crying somewhere?

[McLegend]

Suck it

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why was McNabb grabbing the phone such a big deal? I don't understand, the announcers were making it seem like it was the most awful thing you could do - I thought it was kind of funny

[McLegend]

Donvann McNabb is the greatest QB of all time.

[McLegend]

3rd and 20

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Horrible, horrible game all around. Gotta give credit to the Eagles, they were able to capitalize on the Giants' mistakes. Horribly predictable playcalling and the fact that they blitzed every down finally came back to bite them in the ass. Spags is probably gonna go HC somewhere, and I can see them sacking Gilbride...I kinda hope they do.

Fuck McNabb though, totally classless move on his part. I kinda just wanted to see the Giants rush all 11 guys and cream him the next play since the game was through anyway. Go Cardinals.

Still a month until pitchers and catchers report.</font> :(

[McLegend]

Not as classless as dumping a gun in New Jeresy.

[RoXer]

I wonder how many blackout extensions they'll need this time.

Just 1

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why was McNabb grabbing the phone such a big deal? I don't understand, the announcers were making it seem like it was the most awful thing you could do - I thought it was kind of funny

Isn't this the same announce team that flipped out about Randy Moss' mooning?

[RoXer]

I cannot stand Joe Buck doing football games. He thinks he's Pat Sumerall with his monotonous bland nonsense. And then overreacts when something fun happens. Follwed by a "You're absolutley right, Joe!" every other minute. Get him off football.

...He's not bad with baseball though.

[McLegend]

He's terrible with baseball, and watchable in football.

[McLegend]

err... listenable

[McLegend]

#5 probably only rivals George Washington has the greatest American in history.

[James Steele]

Cardinals vs Ravens is the only way I won't vomit during the SuperBowl. I am pissed about the Ravens going this far because I like Brian Billick, and this makes him look like shit.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

It wasn't a Sprint phone, therefore it is not NFL approved

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I prefer Buck in baseball when he's not paired up with Tim McCarver. Buck's voice doesn't have enough inflection to capture the emotion of a football game, especially in the playoffs. Whatever though, Buck's not the only problem with Fox's NFL coverage. CBS' NFL announcers are miles ahead of Fox's

[James Steele]

Fox's coverage would be unbearable if they didn't have Troy Aikman.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If only Ian Eagle and Solomon Wilcots or Gus Johnson and Steve Tasker could climb up the CBS ladder and get some big game action. I mean Jim Nantz is great and I don't mind Greg Gumble or Dick Enberg but I love Eagle and Johnson's energy.

[McLegend]

I love Gus Johnson.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I take that back for now though because Johnson screws up a lot during football games. He's a fantastic basketball guy though and I'd imagine he'll catch up on the football. Give him a few years and he'll be near the top.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also with a couple more years of experience, I would absolutely love to see Cris Collinsworth in the NBC Sunday Night booth either with both Michaels and Madden or just with Michaels.

I know a couple people on here don't like Collinsworth already but he's got a great color voice and knows a ton about the sport. He just needs to clean up some of his work and he'll be great.

[Johnny Vegas]

Horrible, horrible game all around. Gotta give credit to the Eagles, they were able to capitalize on the Giants' mistakes. Horribly predictable playcalling and the fact that they blitzed every down finally came back to bite them in the ass. Spags is probably gonna go HC somewhere, and I can see them sacking Gilbride...I kinda hope they do.

Fuck McNabb though, totally classless move on his part. I kinda just wanted to see the Giants rush all 11 guys and cream him the next play since the game was through anyway. Go Cardinals.

Still a month until pitchers and catchers report. :(

Fuck you. Go Eagles. McNabb is one of the most underrated QBs of ALL TIME. The guy consistently gets it done when healthy and has only had one "main/money" receiver. Totally classless? No. Funny, yet unnecessary? Yes.

Those fucking Giants must learn that in order to win, you have to be able to run AND pass. Jacobs can't do it all. Plax is missed, and the Eagles defense was ruthless with the 4th & 1 possessions. Eagles v. Ravens/Pittsburgh in Superbowl.

As for the Cards, big ups to them, as they were supposed to be blown out by the Panthers. Fitz is the fuckin man and is the best receiver in the league. He is making Warner look so good right now its not even funny. But that ass has to feel Dawkins, Mikell and that Eagles blitzing!

Bring that nose out GONZO

[D Mac]

Calling it:

Steelers over Eagles in SB

[Johnny Vegas]

I'd rather play the Ravens than the Steelers tbh. The Ravens can't put up points. Really, it doesn't even matter. Either one will be a good game but we are in too much of a roll. The defense is playing better than it ever has, we are able to stop the run, and the way its looking now, the Steelers better get these Chargers under control

[ClockShot]

Spags' cell phone is probably getting bombarded by calls for a head coach job right now.

[VonErichLives]

Oh go away VEL. Tom Brady might miss next season, shouldnt you be crying somewhere?

why yes... because i always cry about sports...

You have me confused with sammy....

Why was McNabb grabbing the phone such a big deal? I don't understand, the announcers were making it seem like it was the most awful thing you could do - I thought it was kind of funny

All announcers make big things out of that stuff, that being said it really was a classless move and he realised that when they asked him about it after the game.

Called a friend of mine who is from philly and a big eagles fan, he was watching the game with his dad and when I mentioned the phone they said "yeah, we weren't happy with that".

that being said, it's not a huge deal, he will get a fine from the no-fun-league but it was a classless move.

Donvann McNabb is the greatest QB of all time.

:roll:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I would prob pick Andre Johnson over Fitzgerald tbf

But it's very close

[McLegend]

:roll:

Hey now Tom Brady couldn't beat the Giants when it counted most. Donovan did.

So it is safe to safe assume McNabb is the greatest of all time.

[VonErichLives]

Hey now Tom Brady couldn't beat the Giants when it counted most. Donovan did.

So it is safe to safe assume McNabb is the greatest of all time.

and Brady beat Mcnabb when he had T.O...

so... how does that factor in?

McNabb is a great QB, I've always been a fan of his, but he goes through these stretches where he makes horrible decisions... when he's on he's one of the best.

His size, speed and arm gives him the best skills of any QB out there.

[McLegend]

That's all become null and void now since #5 now owns Eli Manning and the New York football Giants.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's great that Philly won and I'm sure you're super excited but that's a really fucking stupid comment.

[Big Fat Mike]

Im actually depressed. What does RP do every time the Colts get knocked out?


I can't say that I'm surprised by the G-men laying a giant egg today(no pun intended), but that doesn't make it sting any less. You have to have a better gameplan considering Eli Manning doesn't have a strong enough arm to make throws in the wind that he had to deal with. You can say all you want about that Championship game last year in Green Bay, but it was cold as shit, not windy. Also, I would have been content with running Jacobs into the ground, literally. Should have had more than the 19 carries he had today. Just not enough for a guy who is so effective against one of the best defensive units in the NFL.
And Im pretty sure that John Carney has a reputation of falling apart late in the season, and in the postseason. 44 year old legs get tired, no matter what kind of shape you get yourself into. It's unfair to expect the guy to be able to kick darts with a frozen ball in 25 mph winds.
Defense did a great job, but you can't go to the well in the middle of a drought.
That being said, the Eagles were just the better team. They had a better game plan, they were better coached, and they did a better job of executing. Let's see if they can do it against a high octane Cardinals offense when theres no ridiculous cold or wind to help them out.

[McLegend]

It's great that Philly won and I'm sure you're super excited but that's a really fucking stupid comment.

Obviously

[Supreme Olajuwon]

indubitably

[UmbrellaCorporation]

HOLY SHIT.

THANK YOU, STEELERS, FOR SAVING THE NFL FROM SAN DIEGO.

Seriously. I am so ridiculously happy right now that SD got blown out. I'm hoping for a Steelers/Cards SB right now. :D

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ravens/Cards would be ROFL. Completely unpredictable.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Josh McDaniels is the new Broncos head coach.</font>

[Innovator]

3rd and 20, Giants miss McNabb and he throws 21 yards to Jason Avant

CMON, summed up the defense down the stretch

Congrats to the Eagles, McNabb should be getting himself a great contract in the offseason

[Innovator]

BTW, I hope you make it to the Superbowl and Polamalu pushes your shit in

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Still don't see any type of problem with the phone. I mean it wasn't necessary but I wouldn't call it "classless" He just picked up the phone for literally one second, its not like he spiked the ball in a players face or something. It's not like he shot himself in the leg with it either...

I really don't see how its any different from celebrating in the endzone or after a first down and I'm not an Eagles fan at all. I'm curious if people would have the same reaction if the announce team didn't jump all over it right away.

[Gonzo]

Still fucking steaming over the terrible performance put in earlier. I had such a bad feeling since the Eagles were coming in hot. Kevin Gilbride has to be one of the worst playcallers in the NFL.

[Innovator]

Fuck Gilbride in the ear

[Shadow]

I'm calling Ravens/Cards in the Superbowl.

Now that's gonna be a great game.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler will love having Josh McDaniels as their head coach - I'm curious to see who he brings in as the D-Coordinator. Wonder if he is gonna take Dom Capers or go a different direction.

Also say goodbye to the days of Denver pumping out 1,000 yard rushers...

Shit. Really wanted Spags or Fraiser. Bowlen's asking to keep around most of the offensive staff.

As for Defensive Coordinator, word going around is that Mike Nolan is gonna get the job.

[ClockShot]

Also, Tony Dungy is supposed to be calling it a career.

How can you say anything about the giants needing to learn how to win when they won the superbowl last year. Also i'm pretty sure you just need to be able to run and play defense

[OssMan]

http://imgsrv.610wip.com/image/wip/UserFiles/Image/philadelphia-eagles-logo.jpg

[Gonzo]

I think the Eagles played well, but in all honesty the Giants playcalling on offense hurt them more than anything else did in that game.

[Synopsis]

:'(

[VonErichLives]

Dungy hung it up... think RP is somewhere getting Dungy's face tattoo'd on himself?

[McLegend]

I think the Eagles played well, but in all honesty the Giants playcalling on offense hurt them more than anything else did in that game.

Right and the fact that the Giants couldn't bring down McNabb on 3rd and 20 played no part in the outcome of the game.

[Gonzo]

I never said it didn't. All I said was that I think the playcalling by the Giants on offense hurt them the most.

[McLegend]

1) Eagles Defense

2) Eli Manning

3) Donovan McNabb

4) Playcalling

[Gonzo]

Theres no denying the Eagles defense was playing unbelievable, but in all honesty it got to the point where I could call out the Giants playcalls presnap watching on TV. If I can do that, then so can the Eagles. The Giants just made it so easy for them. I don't want to take anything away from Philly because they are on a roll, but for all intensive purposes I hope they crash and burn (not in the literal sense). Props to them and all but I hope they get the shit kicked out of them, if not next week then in the Bowl.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Eli Manning played like absolute shit in that game, not only passing the ball but running as well. That QB sneak attempt was pathetic. I mean the Eagles defensiveline did a good job of standing up the center but Eli could have still dove underneath for the first, instead he just ducked his head and ran into the centers back like a retard.

[McLegend]

Eli was the worse player on the field.

First play from scrimmage he threw a duck to a wide open Steve Smith I think it was. Basically then the game over, because Eli can't throw in the wind.

HIKE!

[Johnny Vegas]

I mean some of the plays were predictable by the Giants, but with the 3-headed monster that was the Giants' running attack, we still held them down. When you put the game in Eli Manning's hands, you are either going to get 1.) Last year's SB strech Eli or 2.) 2005 Eli. I've always said that Eli is DANGEROUS when he is on a roll/winning streak. When he comes off of a bye or hasn't been playing well lately, he is either going to have to depend on the running/defense or PLAXICO.

The Eagles DEFENSE knew exactly what to do. Get in Eli's face and stop the run. Jacobs was supposed to be the factor and in the red zone/30 yard line he is pretty damn good. But that stingy defense stopped them.

And our offense was acceptable. Could've put up even MORE points but didn't take advantage of the red zone. Overall, Eagles played better and planned better for the Giants. The problem with the Giants is they think they will either win from Jacobs, Plaxico, or Eli. Going to have to stretch it out a little bit more than that.

[Johnny Vegas]

As far as us crashing and burning, in all fairness, i expect that from division rivals so :)

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Pioli has agreed to join the Chiefs.

Only way is up, DM.

[ClockShot]

General vibe right now is that Herm Edwards will be gone sooner or later.

[Innovator]

Sooner or later? WE CAN BUILD ON THIS

Gruden's gone.

[RP]

Jonathan Vilma was arrested but i'm sure he's 100% innocent according to Kris P.

WHO DAT!

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He won't be back with the Saints anyway, if they sign him they have to give the Jets a 2nd rounder, which would mean them giving a 1st to the Giants for Shockey :lol:

[RP]

ARe you serious? Thats so ROFL. That GM should be fired.

[SammyG]

RAMS HIRE SPAGS WOOOO

[DaveWadding]

RAMS HIRE SPAGS WOOOO

I want Bates for OC.

[McLegend]

I'm pretty excited right now.

[SammyG]

lol wow. what a first drive by AZ.

[CSL]

Larry Fitzgerald

[McLegend]

He might be the best player in the league. Not just reciver.

[OssMan]

He might be the best player in the league. Not just reciver.
but Donovan McNabb is the greatest human since George Washington

[McLegend]

Time will tell.

[CSL]

lol Fitzgerald again. Dayum

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That Cardinals cheerleader in the #7 jersey is sure getting excited.

[DrA]

According to Larry Fitzgerald, the reason why he is so good is because of all of those leg lunges he does.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This is crazy.</font>

[SammyG]

lolllllllll what like a 50 yard onside kick or some shit.

[SammyG]

why the hell can't they challenge that. That's some BS

[SammyG]

It is so good that the Rams got rid of Warner. He is obviously so washed up.

[SammyG]

Well. Credibility in the NFC West?

[OssMan]

And the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl Bound

[McLegend]

The team that beats the defending Super bowl champ in the playoffs is 0-11 in the next game. Add that to a 24-6 lead at the half, and it's not looking good.

It can be done though.

[ClockShot]

What the hell happened in this game?

[D Mac]

Down to the wire.

[CSL]

Seriously. I go make some food, come back and it's been turned on it's head
