NFL 2009 Season Thread

2 days.

Also lets see if he lasts longer then 2 seasons.

[Splaya]

Friends and I did a 10 dollar bet where we draw teams out of a hat and you get 1 AFC team and 1 NFC team. I picked last both times and drew the Saints and Colts.

Saddened that I didn't get the Packers and Aaron Rodgers though

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Anything the Redskins might do has "debacle" written all over it</font>

[Droford]

Brian Billick is (very likely) yoooooooooooour NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW Buffalo Bills Head Coach

have fun with that Buffalo

[Reavant]

he did win a superbowl with the ravens at one point in time

[Droford]

he did win a superbowl with the ravens at one point in time

Theres a reason why he still isn't in Baltimore too.

While Im here, John Harbaugh/Joe Flacco/Ray Rice are the first HC/QB/RB combo in NFL History to make the playoffs in their first two years in the league.

[Hanso Amore]

They are also riding off the defense billick made. So STFU

PS, The Bills are yet to even show interest in him, so your reports are erroneous.

[Hanso Amore]

Now FUck off, I got work to do

There is a reason Mike Shanahan isnt in Denver too. Doesnt mean he isnt still a good coach.

[Droford]

They are also riding off the defense billick made. So STFU

PS, The Bills are yet to even show interest in him, so your reports are erroneous.

Well first of all, the defense has turned over a great deal since Billick was in Baltimore. And Id say more important was Cam Cameron coming in to overhaul the offense which was run by Brian "Im a freaking Offensive Genius, remember what I did in Minnesota in 1998!" Billick. He ran (by proxy) the worst offense imaginable ever which was why there was so much pressure put on the defense to be so great. The offense finished in the top 15 one time in his tenure (2001) and also finished 31st in 2004.
John Harbaugh has the same winning percentage (.625 over few games granted..) as Billick as well..

As for the rumor:


Former Baltimore Ravens (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/bal/;_ylt=Aj_fJRAyhV9sFXtJ_bVUWd0.ubYF) coach Brian Billick may not have the Buffalo Bills (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/buf/;_ylt=ApA4cybcOA9LDwu8TQRkdi4.ubYF) coaching job yet, but Buffalo’s NBC television news affiliate WGRZ reports Billick is in the process of putting together a staff to join him.
An unidentified source told WGRZ that Billick contacted Jacksonville Jaguars (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/jac/;_ylt=Aq29zPqURPo7mav3tFPdlqg.ubYF) assistant head coach/tight ends coach Mike Tice about the possibility of joining the Bills staff if Billick gets the job.

Former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer told the station Monday that he is "not likely" to become coach of the Bills. Earlier Schottenheimer was rumored to be the leading candidate to succeed Dick Jauron.

<font color=goldenrod>Anything the Redskins might do has "debacle" written all over it</font>

No shit.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm just glad to see Mike Shanahan learned absolutely nothing from his time with Al Davis.

[Hanso Amore]

Yes, I saw that WGRZ quote too. But the Bills responded saying they have no interest in Billick at this time.

[The Gooch]

So who are you picking for league MVP?

I personally have it between Manning and Favre, but leaning towards Favre who continues to amaze me and sadden me as a diehard Packer fan. Then again the Colts showed us how well they played without Peyton, and it ain't pretty.

[Reavant]

i would actually be happy with marty schottenheimer as the bills coach

[RatedGSuperstar]

If Favre wins, Wisconsin (and Indiana) riots. Peyton Manning showed just how valuable he is with how crappy the Colts were without him. The Vikings were still a playoff team without Favre last season. My top 5 (not sure how many places they vote for):

1. Manning (If you're going on value...without Manning, the Colts are no good)
2. Chris Johnson (Hard to argue with 2,000 yards rushing and the most yards from scrimmage ever)
3. Drew Brees (Same reasons as Manning; the Saints would sputter without him)
4. Aaron Rodgers (Identical stats compared to Favre, but did it with less)
5. Brett Favre (Very good season, but arguably not even the MVP of his team's offense)

[Crimson]

I disagree with what you're saying about Favre. I think he pretty much IS the Vikings offense.

With that , I think Peyton should be MVP followed by Favre, Brees, and Rodgers

[ClockShot]

Big Patriots reunion going on in Kansas City. Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel are coming back to run the offense and defense respectively.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Should be about 15° and snowing at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday. Oh boy!

[Requiem]

lol at people saying the Colts suck without Manning without even looking at the situation. You can't possibly compare 'replacing' Manning (as in, finding a QB to take his position permanently), to subbing in a third string, 6th round draft, ROOKIE QB for Manning. Any rookie QB is going to fail when put into that situation, especially when his main weapons are pulled and the other team is fighting for their spot in the playoffs.

That's hardly the same thing at all.

That said, they do still rely heavily on him, and he should get MVP for his performance this season. Minus one or two 'off' games where he's thrown a few picks, he was playing at the top of his game.

[RoXer]

Mr. Football Expert now.

[SammyG]

I just need to ask FA what the Colts would do, if they had to kick from the 70 yard line

[DrA]

I don't know why these teams go back to the same coaches to coach their teams. It's like those teams that sign Jeff Garcia as a free agent all the time. Brian Billick and Mike Holmgreen etc are just familiar sounding names. You may get a 10-6 team out of it, but the teams that go back to these older coaches have them for about three years then call it an unsuccessful tenure after they blow the playoffs in the last five games of the season for the second year in a row. They're just quick fixes.

[Emperor Smeat]

Its probably a safer bet to chose someone with football/NFL experience as a head coach than a "rookie' head coach since you would have a feeling of their coaching style compared to the unknown of the rookie.

Not every coach is going to be like a Sean Payton and in his first year turn around the team but with a Holmgreen, there is history that says he knows how to develop a good QB and the offense for a while.

What does hurt is having an impatient owner/GM or fans if you take the tenured coach since if the team is horrible (ex. Browns, Lions), then your looking at around 3-5 years to rebuild the team. The fans being impatient makes some sense since they don't want to be paying just to see their team loosing all the time.

[DrA]

I'm not saying guys like Shanahan and Holmgreen aren't good coaches that can benefit a team, and in most situations you would be better off hiring someone like that instead of a random defensive backs coach from the Buffalo Bills. But if you look at teams that have won a Super Bowl in the last twenty years, or have een made the Super Bowl for that matter, you won't find many teams who got there with a "rebound coach". Hiring Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs, or Jim Mora doesn't help your franchise in the long run. I guess it's better than being stuck with some doofus like Rod Marinelli and going 3-13, but chances are you are not going to be a realistic Super Bowl contender with a coach like that. It's good for short term hype really and nothing else.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Not saying Manning shouldn't get the MVP but saying he should get it since the Colts would be "trash" without him is pretty dumb. That would be the case for most teams/most QBs.

[The Gooch]

Not saying Manning shouldn't get the MVP but saying he should get it since the Colts would be "trash" without him is pretty dumb. That would be the case for most teams/most QBs.

Call me crazy, but is that not the very definition of valuable?

The fact that a QB consistently wins this awards is no surprise. And you honestly think that most QBs in the league are irreplaceable? Seriously, the fact that your fucking patriots went 11-5 with a back-up proves that is not the case. It is all about the system, and without Peyton the Colts system is dead in the water as they are honestly not nearly as good as their record indicates if given an "average" starting NFL QB.

[RP]

He's gunna get it because he has the worst running game in the league behind him and he broke in 2 brand new recievers while torching the league.

[Reavant]

HA remember back when i said manning WAS the colts and they wouldnt be as good with out them and you snapped and went on some rant?... haha yea good times

[RP]

HA remember back when i said manning WAS the colts and they wouldnt be as good with out them and you snapped and went on some rant?... haha yea good times

look

First of all, Curtis Painter was put in two impossible situations ( He need Mike " THe Situation " tbh ). He was put into the Jets game and booed to hell because of the decision not to go for 16-0. Then he had to go on the road and play with the 3rd teamers in a snow storm. Now i dont know if you watched this game, but lets just say it's a good thing Indy has home field advantage, because they have no clue how to play on snow. It was terrible.

If Painter was playing in the dome under a good situation, with the 1st teamers, he'd be ok. He's a Boilermaker. He would be ok.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm not saying guys like Shanahan and Holmgreen aren't good coaches that can benefit a team, and in most situations you would be better off hiring someone like that instead of a random defensive backs coach from the Buffalo Bills. But if you look at teams that have won a Super Bowl in the last twenty years, or have een made the Super Bowl for that matter, you won't find many teams who got there with a "rebound coach".

I guess it's better than being stuck with some doofus like Rod Marinelli and going 3-13, but chances are you are not going to be a realistic Super Bowl contender with a coach like that. It's good for short term hype really and nothing else.

What? Coughlin, Dungy, Belichick, Gruden, Vermeil, and Shanahan are all rebound coaches and they've won 9 of the last 12 Super Bowls.

[RP]

Shanahan will do good, because Snyder will buy the players he needs.

[The Gooch]

Shanahan will do good, because Snyder will buy the players he needs.

Snyder has been doing that for years and I really haven't seen much out of the 'Skins to show for it. To me there is a fine line between respecting your draftees and signing big name free agents. I don't think what Snyder does creates a healthy locker room as he leans too heavily on the free agency to the detriment of those who were drafted by the organization.

[ClockShot]

Seahawks fire Jim Mora Jr.

Eric Mangini gets another year.

[SammyG]

Seattle going after Carroll? Hm

[ClockShot]

The USC dynasty is all over.

Pete Carroll going to Seattle would be a good fit. But I think he'll say no.

[Requiem]

HA remember back when i said manning WAS the colts and they wouldnt be as good with out them and you snapped and went on some rant?... haha yea good times

Again, replacing Manning isn't the same thing as having a 3rd string, 6th round, ROOKIE QB, stand in for him. Manning isn't the Colts. He is a large part of the Colts, but stop ignoring the fact that their top receivers and top rusher were taken out of the game. Addai, Clark, and Wayne are the team's top scorer's this season, in that order.

If you think your team, or any other team, would perform differently under those circumstances, then you're a fucking idiot and you're just talking out of your ass.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Love how hostile this thread gets simply talking about hypotheticals.

[Requiem]

It's more hostility directed at people trying to be smug by 'rubbing in' something that was a completely idiotic statement to begin with.

[Requiem]

Hypothetically speaking, I would take the fine from the NFL for punching you square in the nose. Because I am going to punch you square in the nose.

:shifty:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I will say this though: no team is built around a single player like Indy is and no team would be hurt by the loss of one player as much as the Colts would be without Manning. Which basically just goes to show how good Manning is.

[SammyG]

So you're saying if you take Brady out of NE, they wouldn't be hurt as much? I think it's equal. Take Jackson away from the Rams, you have nothing.

[OssMan]

Implying the Rams aren't already nothing

[The Gooch]

So you're saying if you take Brady out of NE, they wouldn't be hurt as much? I think it's equal.

They went 11-5 without Brady, and 10-6 with him this year. Get rid of Manning and they lose almost every close game they were in this season and are likely a bubble team or miss the playoffs.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

HAHAHAHA oh wow.

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/everyone_at_hospital_already_hates

BOSTON—Though injured New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker has only been in the hospital for five days, doctors, nurses, support staff, and fellow patients told reporters Thursday that the extremely passionate and determined Welker has already annoyed the hell out of everyone.

"That guy is just the worst," Welker's orthopedic surgeon Dr. Henry Myles said after a diagnostic checkup Tuesday. "He suffers a torn MCL and ACL in his left knee, he can barely walk, and he just keeps saying things like, 'When am I going to get back in there, doc?' and 'Just tape it up, I'll be fine.' This whole obsession with showing us how intense and driven he is 24 hours a day really has to stop."

"I get it, okay? The guy has a lot of heart," Myles added. "But yesterday we had to put him in restraints because he wouldn't stop trying to do jumping jacks. And before we could sedate him, his screams of 'I'm a competitor!' woke up the entire wing."

As of press time, Welker had not made a single friend at Massachusetts General. Although the wideout's attitude has been celebrated by sportswriters and fans alike as scrappy and overachieving, hospital personnel have described him as "exhausting," "intolerable," and "the most infuriating little cocksucker ever to walk God's green earth."

Even children in the hospital's cancer ward were irritated by Welker's Tuesday morning visit.

"The short man kept telling me to keep fighting and not to give up," said Jackie Geddings, 8, a leukemia patient in the hospital's pediatric ward. "I got extra tired talking to him and telling him over and over I was working hard and that he didn't have to cut off his hair and give it to me. I don't think he knew I was trying to take a nap."

"He's everywhere," one doctor said of the 5-foot-9 All-Pro receiver, adding that the mere sight of Welker's face fills him with rage. "If he's not trying to get patients up at 6 a.m. to do physical therapy with him, he's giving unwanted nutritional advice to diabetics or hovering over ER doctors during critical triage sessions. I really hope one of these days he comes over to the trauma ward so I can lay him out cold."

Welker told nurses Wednesday that, although his injury will keep him out of the playoffs, it shouldn't hinder his ability to help the hospital be the best it can be. He has offered to fill in anywhere he is needed, be it on the cafeteria staff or in the operating room.

"I consider myself a very patient person," hospital janitor Mike Clemens said. "But Mr. Welker has pushed me to my limit. He told me that my mopping routes were sloppy, and that if I maybe showed a little more heart out there I could get a few more crucial feet out of each swab."

"What a prick," Clemens added. "Seriously, what a fucking little prick."

Welker's hospital roommate, 52-year-old Aaron Kramer, requested a room transfer after spending just one night with the two-time Pro Bowler. Kramer said he was unable to sleep due to Welker shouting "Woo!" after every SportsCenter highlight, a nuisance that became increasingly excruciating as Welker did the same through all five of the show's overnight repeats.

Teammates who have visited Welker have left his hospital room visibly aggravated, often rolling their eyes, muttering to themselves, or saying things like, "Thank God that's over."

Patriots coach Bill Belichick has yet to make a trip to the Boston hospital, but said Monday that Welker had already left him more than 150 voice mail messages that alternated between tearful apologies for getting injured and personal pleas for Belichick not to forget about him while he's away.

"Apparently he read an article where I said that the team would evolve without him," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told reporters after visiting Welker. "I had to assure Wes that didn't mean I thought the team was better off without him or that I didn't like him personally."

"I don't, though," Brady said. "Not hard to see why not. Jesus, if that mouthy little fucker didn't manage to get open so often I think I would have punched him in the face years ago."

[Droford]

The last line was hillarious.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Call me crazy, but is that not the very definition of valuable?

The fact that a QB consistently wins this awards is no surprise. And you honestly think that most QBs in the league are irreplaceable? Seriously, the fact that your fucking patriots went 11-5 with a back-up proves that is not the case. It is all about the system, and without Peyton the Colts system is dead in the water as they are honestly not nearly as good as their record indicates if given an "average" starting NFL QB.
They went from having one of the greatest seasons ever to not even making the playoffs the next season with pretty close to the same roster.

They also had a really good back-up who is now a starter, not some bum like Chris Painter - who also happens to really be the Colts' 3rd string QB.

So yes, I do think most elite QBs are irreplaceable.

[McLegend]

In this whole Colts undefeated season debacle you really got to feel for Jim Sorgi.

[DrA]

What? Coughlin, Dungy, Belichick, Gruden, Vermeil, and Shanahan are all rebound coaches and they've won 9 of the last 12 Super Bowls.

I'm not talking about coaches who have been head coaches before. 90% of all coaches have been head coaches before. I'm talking about coaches that haven't done anything in a while who get hired for their reputation alone. Tony Dungy was putting together good teams in Tampa Bay at the time, and Bill Belichick and Mike Shanahan didn't do anything before they went to New England/Denver. Tom Coughlin had been there for a while when they won it, Gruden was what he was. Dick Vermeil yeah. He is the only one I would put in that category though.

[Hanso Amore]

this thread should be sans Colts faggot fans. Worse than Pats Fans....

[DrA]

Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs are the two best examples of this. Two coaches who were successful twenty years ago and everyone thinks that if teams hire these guys all of a sudden they will be in a Super Bowl in a year, when what actually happens is that they are there for a couple of seasons and they have one season where the team makes the playoffs before losing in the wild card round.

It's comparable to teams who sign Daunte Culpepper because they don't know what else to do. Yes, occasionally you have a year when Brad Johnson is the starting quarterback of a Super Bowl winning team, but that usually isn't the case 85% of the time.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

this thread should be sans Colts faggot fans. Worse than Pats Fans....
I recommend you drink more beers then continue to post on TPWW. Really making some great posts.

[Loose Cannon]

all's I know is the Jets are still playing football

Peyton Manning - 2009 MVP

Updated: January 9, 2010, 9:46 AM ET
Colts' Manning wins record fourth MVP

NEW YORK -- Peyton Manning has become the first player to win The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award four times.


AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.

• Blog network: NFL Nation


The Indianapolis Colts' sensational quarterback romps to the award Saturday in balloting by 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. He gets 39½ votes to 7½ for Drew Brees as only quarterbacks receive any backing.

Manning adds the 2009 honors to the awards he won in 2003, 2004 and 2008, breaking a tie with Brett Favre at three MVPs.

The 33-year-old Manning joins Wayne Gretzky (9), Barry Bonds (7) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6) as the leader for most valuable player awards in his sport.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

good call imo

[parkmania]

So, if the Seahawks went and talked to Carroll before they even fired Mora, did they even pay lip service the Rooney Rule???

[Emperor Smeat]

Nope, they just going to do the token interview with a minority candidate just so they don't get fined but whole decision was already made. Its the big loophole in the rule that the NFL thought of fixing a while ago.

[Reavant]

It's more hostility directed at people trying to be smug by 'rubbing in' something that was a completely idiotic statement to begin with.

My god you are a dooche... i am telling you that your quarterback is SO GOOD that he makes an entire team but upon hearing that you get so butt hurt that YOU dont see the facts. Outside of wayne, he has not had star wide receivers because the were all inexperienced, but he made them stars. And dont even try bringing up dallas clark because any tight end with a decent qb passing to him will put up big nubers look around the league.

[Reavant]

So you're saying if you take Brady out of NE, they wouldn't be hurt as much? I think it's equal. Take Jackson away from the Rams, you have nothing.

umm did you see what happened last year when brady got hurt or did you black out last season?

[McLegend]

I'm not looking forward to the game tonight. This is maybe the first time in my life I have never been excited for a playoff game.

[McLegend]

That sounded a lot like a Big Vito post.

[RoXer]

If Carroll turns around the Seahawks then the NFC West can be a lot of fun.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

umm did you see what happened last year when brady got hurt or did you black out last season?
Except the guy who replaced started 15 games the next year. Not really your typical back-up.

If Brady played last year that Pats team would have won more than 11 games.

[Crimson]

I'm not looking forward to the game tonight. This is maybe the first time in my life I have never been excited for a playoff game.

What? Eagles can win that game easily dude..playoffs come around it's anyones game.

I mean look at how many people here are picking the Eagles:o

[McLegend]

It's all over bro.

[Crimson]

Why didn't Seattle go after Cowher? Seems like a better choice than Carroll. Maybe they don't wanna give the coach the GM job too?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I can't believe Pete Carroll is leaving SC, what a stupid move.

[McLegend]

Pete Carroll isn't a dumb guy so there has to be something else that not many people know about in order for him to leave USC.

[Reavant]

Except the guy who replaced started 15 games the next year. Not really your typical back-up.

If Brady played last year that Pats team would have won more than 11 games.

until he was in for brady he hadnt been a starter since high school. You mean to tell me that his performance wasnt due to the system but rather because of 'superior skill'? He played OK this season but not nearly as well as last under the pats staff. Common now.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well obviously he isn't gonna play as well because the Chiefs' team is no where near as good as the Patriots'. I don't think it's the same as watching the Colts play behind Painter or the Saints with Burenell. Neither of those guys have a chance of ever starting in the NFL in the future.

You don't think Cassell would have had a good year in the Colts system last year?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I still think the Rooney Rule is ridiculous. It basically assumes that team owners are racist and wouldn't hire minorities unless forced to.

I know the NFL says "the purpose of it is to open doors and give chances" but why not make the rule something like "All teams must interview somebody who has never been an NFL head coach" or something. Bringing race into it is stupid.

Why were the 49ers allowed to hire Mike Singletary for the full-time spot without interviewing somebody of a different race? Oh yeah, that's right...because it's not possible to be racist against white people.

-edit-

wtf...there was a post asking whether or not the Seahawks would get in Rooney Rule trouble right above this as I typed up the post...now it just seems out of place</font>

[SammyG]

Congrats Manning.

[Requiem]

Well obviously he isn't gonna play as well because the Chiefs' team is no where near as good as the Patriots'. I don't think it's the same as watching the Colts play behind Painter or the Saints with Burenell. Neither of those guys have a chance of ever starting in the NFL in the future.

You don't think Cassell would have had a good year in the Colts system last year?

Exactly. Cassel is failing right now because his receivers can't catch a ball. Have seen so many dropped passes this year from the Chiefs it is ridiculous. Cassel is a decent QB who would probably do fairly well with a team to back him, as his performance with the Pats proves. But come on.. he's on the Chiefs and they're not going anywhere fast.

[Requiem]

My god you are a dooche... i am telling you that your quarterback is SO GOOD that he makes an entire team but upon hearing that you get so butt hurt that YOU dont see the facts.

Saints will beat Dallas.

[The Mask]

ok er... can somebody tell me what's going on in the NFL? like recap of the season so far :'(

how are the redskins doing? steelers? giants? :'( i still need to pick one of those to follow but I DUNNO.

[OssMan]

None of those teams made the playoffs

[Droford]

So what divisions play cross-conference next year?

AFC East plays NFC North
AFC South plays NFC East
AFC North plays NFC South
AFC West plays NFC West

You can use this (http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/schedules/nfl_future_afcn.htm)site to see who will play who all the way through 2017

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, it sucks. Giants are gonna have to play the South. Manning Bowl II and the Schaub/Johnson Connection sound horrifying when I imagine the Giants' secondary this year...hopefully it will be shored up by then.</font>

I wasn't aware this thread was your private messages inbox. If you don't want commentary on a stupid post you made, then don't make it in a public place and in a thread where such things are being discussed.

You can't compare replacing Manning to the events that took place.. a 3rd string rookie QB...

fuck it.. I've posted it a couple times now but you're too busy talking shit to RP to realize how stupidly wrong you were, and how that game didn't 'prove' anything about how they play without Manning, because it wasn't just Manning that got pulled, and he isn't the only impact player on the team.

[Crimson]

Damn Cowboys D lookin sick. Vikings better watch it next week if Cowboys play like this minus the penalties.:cool:

[Team Sheep]

Jets :heart: Fucking great performance, knew how to grind out the result, they've been showing a lot of character lately. Amazing that we're on a play off run after thinking we were dead 3 weeks ago. :cool: Sanchez is just growing in confidence, and Rex Ryan is a big lovable teddy bear.

[Team Sheep]

Shonn Greene is gonna be scarily good in a few years too.

[Team Sheep]

Lol was Ochocinco crying after the game?

[Droford]

Lol was Ochocinco crying after the game?

Doesnt he have to change his name back to Chad Johnson now..He got owned 2 weeks in a row by Revis.

[FearedSanctity]

You can use this (http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/schedules/nfl_future_afcn.htm)site to see who will play who all the way through 2017

Bears in Denver in 2011 :yes:

[McLegend]

What? Eagles can win that game easily dude..playoffs come around it's anyones game.

I mean look at how many people here are picking the Eagles:o

I told you.

[Team Sheep]

So disappointed with the Eagles. I was sure they'd show up for the playoffs. That was pitiful.

[McLegend]

Saints will beat Dallas.

They play the fuckin Vikings next week first off, and it's so fuckin obvious they are going win the fuckin super bowl. God damnit. Packers or Cardinals will beat the Saints next week. Cowboys beat Vikings, and then NFC championship is at Dallas which they win. They beat whoever in the Super bowl.

I'm the biggest Vikings fan in the world right.

[McLegend]

Also Thank You Donovan McNabb for everything you have done. You are the best Philadelphia athlete of my lifetime. You have given me great memories that I will have for the rest of my life. Thank you number 5, and good luck to you where ever you end up next year. :y:

My favorite professional football team of choice just won a playoff game!!! :cool::cool::cool: How many other people can say that today?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

America

[Savio]

eagles :(

[McLegend]

Fuck America.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Not really even that upset tonight, because I like the Jets and I hope they go far. Bengals shouldn't have done as well as they did this year and they finally got exposed. But at least they made it to the next level.

[McLegend]

I knew the Eagles were going to get killed so I'm not mad about that.

I just really hate living in a world where the Cowboys can win a playoff game. Cowboy fans are going to be everywhere this week. Worst week ever.

[#1-norm-fan]

I just really hate living in a world where the Cowboys can win a playoff game. Cowboy fans are going to be everywhere this week. Worst week ever.

It wouldn't have been that bad if EVERYONE who hated the Cowboys didn't act like Tony Romo would just never win a playoff game. But it was brought up and used as a burn on me and all Cowboys fans constantly that he, in so many words, CAN'T WIN IN DECEMBER OR THE PLAYOFFS. So now we can rub it in their faces. Regardless of what happens next week now, that statement made has come back to haunt all Cowboys haters.

[RP]

Fuck me Braylon Edwards is bad. He'd going to cost the Jets either in the next round or the AFC Championship. Mark that down. The guy shits himself when he's open with no one in front of him and the ball falling right in his hands. How can you make it this far in the league as a reciever and still be a #1 and suck that fucking bad. Fuck me. Jets she be lucky they have a Boilermaker on there team that breaks long TD's and springs running backs for long TD's with his fantastic blocks.

BOILER UP!

[Innovator]

I hope it won't happen, but I'd like to see a Miles Austin vs. Darelle Revis matchup....but that means the Jets and Cowboys are in the SuperBowl and that would blow all kinds of chunks

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cowboys are probably going to win the Super Bowl, because it's still the 2009 season and everything sports related in 2009 has to be something I fucking hate. Therefore, it'll likely be the Cowboys vs. Patriots or something and I'll be forced to root for the Pats like I did when they played the Eagles</font>

[RP]

The Colts are gunna take it. They're pissed. Shit is about to go down. I hope we get New York.

[Triple A]

Yeah also kinda hoping for the Colts. Would be a great "story" if they actually beat the two teams in the playoffs that helped them "back in" to shut up people like Mike Francesa.

Fucking love the Jets. Like even if this team was some other city right now, would love them. Rex Ryan is adorable

[RatedGSuperstar]

Both excited and nervous for the Green Bay game today -- there's so much more riding on it than meets the eye. It would be embarrassing to be the only team to lose one of the three "repeat" games this week after winning last week, and if the Packers lose all the fake Vikings fans that only became "fans" because they're following Favre are going to have a field day (even though it's pretty clear that the Packers wouldn't be any better off with Favre).

Even if they win, I'm worried about going to New Orleans. Despite their recent problems and not trying to win for the past month, they're still too good of a team to go down 4 straight games without a fight. The thought of Drew Brees abusing Jarrett Bush and the rest of the Packers' secondary not named Charles Woodson scares the crap out of me (not the case with Warner, since he's old and slow and is about to get rocked by Clay Matthews).

As far as other teams go, the Cowboys are definitely impressive, and I'd love nothing more than to see Favre continue his struggles against Dallas, but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me to see them fall short of the Super Bowl. They strike me as the kind of team that's about to get a little too full of themselves, and I still don't have confidence in Wade Phillips' ability to keep their eyes on the prize.

[Gonzo]

Something about Wade Phillips that strikes me that he is not a Superbowl coach. Hopefully I am right.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I don't think Wade Phillips is that good of a coach at all. Coming from behind to win the East and winning a playoff game will save his job, but I swear every time they show him on the sidelines he's got that same dumb expression on his face and he never seems to fire up his team.</font>

[Triple A]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Francesa's show will be interesting on Monday. He's been killing the Jets all week...they're not that good, they were handed their spot, etc. Now the callers will get their revenge</font>

There is some amazing fake Twitter for him.

Ill be proven right if da Jets play da Colts and get smacked, ok. Yestahdays game meant nothin, Da Jets were still 7-7 in games dat mattahed
about 2 hours ago from web

[Team Sheep]

If I was a player, Phillips would not motivate me to play for him.

As for who I want the Jets to play next, I've been thinking about it a lot but I've decided I couldn't care less now. Bring San Diego or Indianapolis on. We've already been to Indianapolis, and the Bengals had a very close game with the Chargers at Qualcomm 3 weeks ago, so nothing to fear.

[Team Sheep]

So winning a play off game on the road to a division champion means nothing these days...

I think the Jets have a good formula, it has proven to work for teams in the past. I just think that eventually they are going to get into trouble if an opposing team can stifle, or even just make their running game less successful. Once Sanchez has to try to beat a team I think that is where they lose.

[Crimson]

I agree about Wade Phillips not being that great a coach. That's THE ONLY thing me being pessimistic about a superbowl run. Anyone else was coach i'd be more happy/optimistic.

But yea I kept getting heckled by friends about Cowboys choking, now they can finally shut the fuck up.

[Crimson]

Did anyone else besides me have the Jets in the championship game in their predictions?

They're winning next week too me thinks

[Droford]

RAY RICE! WHOO!

Brady just got T-Sizzled! WHOO

[Requiem]

lol Pats

[Droford]

Cue the "thanks to the New England Patriots for participating in the 2009/10 NFL Playoffs, you can pick up your WE GOT BOATRACED Tshirts on the way out"

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

wow Pats down by 21 in the first quarter. WTFFFFFFFFFFF also woke up on my couch with the score already 14-0....WHAT IS GOING ON???????????????????

I think I am still hammered

WOW what a pick by Ed Reed

Baltimore should have challenged that missed punt return recovery

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Ravens blew it there TD NEW ENGLAND LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Droford]

I was perplexed by that too, seeing as though Harbaugh has challenged far more less obvious calls in the past but its ok.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BANTA-CAIN SHOW SUCK IT

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Was really hoping for Revis vs Wayne next week but that ain't happening

[Nark Order]

So, when are we going to talk about the Chargers going to the Super Bowl?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

wow another INT leading to points. Wow wow wow wow wow

[Requiem]

Yeah, pretty sure it's over. The Pats will not be able to come back from this. Maybe, if they had picked up some momentum after the half, but it's just not clicking.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Narc, do you even watch football or did you just stake out a nice comfy seat on the Chargers bandwagon

[Innovator]

So, when are we going to talk about the Chargers going to the Super Bowl?
I hope Phillip Rivers tears his ACL jacking off to a picture of himself

[Requiem]

I do stand corrected though after that no huddle drive to the endzone. Just do that a couple times.

[Nark Order]

Yes, I watch football. No, I haven't always watched football. Only "got into it" around 2-3 years ago. My seat is comfy, leather.

I find it odd that his thread primarily focuses on every team in the league, except for the team that has one of the highest chances of actually going to the Superbowl. That is all. Not to say that the other teams focused on aren't also Superbowl contenders but Jesus. JESUS.

[McLegend]

It's because you are the only Chargers fan, and you didn't even post in this thread much.

C'mon now

[Nark Order]

Yeah, I just stake this place out every once in awhile upon an epic victory. I'll pop in again if the Chargers make the Superbowl and I'll probably pop back in again if they win it. I'm more of a "casual fan" of football. Nowhere near the degree of fan as some are on here. I watch the games and I have my favorite teams but I'm not what you would consider a "hardcore fan".

Am a fan of the Chargers, the 49ers, and will watch a Raiders game every now and then. THAT IS ALL.

[Loose Cannon]

Ray Rice putting a hurtin on NE :love:

Tearing your ACL while masturbating would require some talent. What a goal to aspire to.

[McLegend]

Why would someone's goal be to tear their ACL?

[Nark Order]

For bragging rights. DUH.

[McLegend]

That just sounds counter productive much like The Eagles and The Pats defense.

[Droford]

Bring on the Colts next Saturday Night to get their asses handed to em just like Tom Brady and Co.

[DrA]

Hate it when 9-7 teams win games in the playoffs.

[Innovator]

Tearing your ACL while masturbating would require some talent. What a goal to aspire to.
Kevin Nash could do it

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Which Colts? These Colts?

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0ehD49T9YSd9b/429x.jpg

[Droford]

I'll just put it this way..the Pats only beat the Ravens by 6 earlier this year and they just went into Foxborough and punched Tom Brady square in the jaw and knocked them the fuck out of the playoffs, no team has done that to a Tom Brady led team in New England.

The Colts barely beat the Ravens earlier. Its going to be just like last year's Ravens/Titans Divisional game.

LOL at people predicting Ravens/Jets AFC championship as well (though I'll take it)...

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow not only do the Patriots lose, it also eliminates the slim chance of the Jets beating the Colts in the playoffs.

Weak ass shit

Also noticed the Pats long snapper taking some practice snaps on the sideline just now, really?

[VonErichLives]

credit where it's due... the Ravens out played the Pats.

I'm not going to say the Pats played like crap or made mistakes, that takes away from the great game the Ravens played.

While I do think Brady played like shit and threw some passes he really shouldn't and almost did a Bledsoe impersonation just with less of an arm...

The Ravens played one hell of a game.

[Team Sheep]

Lol Patriots.

[D Mac]

Good, Fuck the Patriots.

[Nark Order]

Bolts/Jets showdown next week.

[D Mac]

Arizona looking solid.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah Ravens came into the game and played very focused and hungry to win. Something the Patriots lacked in certain games or 2nd halves of the year. Missing some players did hurt the Patriots but no excuse on the O-line crumbling too much and the blind side hits Ravens were allowed.

Credit to the Ravens defense and rushing game since they knew their weakest part was passing and it showed (something like 230+ rush vs 38+ pass yards).

[Nark Order]

Jesus. Most of these playoff games have been absolute fucking massacres so far.

thought the Chargers were gonna be the team that bought into their hype and blew it in the playoffs but it looks like it's going to be Green Bay instead

[DaveWadding]

Larry Fitzgerald > your favorite receiver

[DrA]

My favorite receiver is Larry Fitzgerald.

[DrA]

I was either going to post that or "That isn't saying much, because Y.F. Receiver sucks."

[DrA]

I've predicted every game correctly so far this week except that stupid Ravens/Patriots game which doesn't really because the winner of that game is going to lose next week anyway.

[SammyG]

k this game is amazing now

[Innovator]

WOOOO AN ACTUAL GAME!

[RP]

Bring on the Colts next Saturday Night to get their asses handed to em just like Tom Brady and Co.

I wish Kurt was a Ram still :(

[Londoner]

Well, we were due a good playoff game.

[SammyG]

Yeah, makes up for all the stupid blowouts.

[Londoner]

And were level again!

[Savio]

Has there ever been a triple over time in post season? I am assuming they do not end on a tie like they do in the regular season.

[ClockShot]

Yikes. Green Bay came back in the 2nd half.

[ClockShot]

Whoa. Rackers missed it.

[Skippord]

Has there ever been a triple over time in post season? I am assuming they do not end on a tie like they do in the regular season.
nah they end in a tie and the week after they have a triple threat match

[McLegend]

Has there ever been a triple over time in post season? I am assuming they do not end on a tie like they do in the regular season.
This must be a Syracuse thing.

[Tb1]

Wow. Can't believe he missed that kick.

[SammyG]

are you fucking serious right now, Rackers? CHOKE

Green Bay gonna win prolly now. FUCK

[Savio]

nah they end in a tie and the week after they have a triple threat match
That would be classy.

But has there ever been a triple overtime?

[Londoner]

God this game is awesome.

[SammyG]

Rodgers just missed Jennings there. Damn. Dude is super fast.

[SammyG]

and that was a helmet to helmet that shoulda been called.

[Tb1]

FUCK!

[Londoner]

wow fuck what a weak ending :D

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Tb1]

Great ending.

[DrA]

Well that Cardinals defense got exposed. No way are they going to be able to stop New Orleans next week.

[ClockShot]

Rackers just dodged a huge bullet from the fan base.

[Droford]

Well there goes my 4-4..3-4 aint bad though

[Innovator]

TUCK RULE

[Skippord]

AN A BOMB FROM A-RODG!!!!

[SammyG]

Rodgers KICKED one up for grabs

[Requiem]

Wow. What a lame win. Don't care about either team, but Packers got fucked by the refs.

No call on that head to head, OR the facemasking on that final play.

[McLegend]

The Fuckin Cardinals

[Skippord]

Well that Cardinals defense got exposed. No way are they going to be able to stop New Orleans next week.
fortunately New Orleans won't be able to stop them either

back to back shootouts

Guess it wasn't really facemasking after a second glance, but the head to head might have fucked them.

Too bad Arizona will lose to Saints.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit @ the Cards/Packers game...that saved the weekend. The only other game that was even remotely close was Jets/Bengals, and even that was pretty boring to watch.

Cards also saved me from going 0-4 in predictions</font> :cool:

[Team Sheep]

I bet the Colts are shitting themselves about playing the Ravens again.

[Requiem]

What? Not at all. It's probably more relief at not having to even see look at Patriots for the rest of the playoffs.

[Team Sheep]

Tbh if my team had a bye I'd be shitting myself whoever we play. You just don't know how they're going to come out.

[screech]

Maybe this Colts/Ravens game will have a touchdown or two.

[DAMN iNATOR]

:wavesad: Packers. You gave your fans one hell of a good reason to expect more great things next year.

Gotta hope like hell the Vikes go in and beat the Cowgays next week, or failing that that we see, dare I say, Arizona win, only because they're playing one of the only two teams I can't stand in this year's playoffs in a divisional...New Orleans...yecch!

Also, I totally agree with that announcer that I'm glad the NFL overtime system is nothing like college ball, or else who the fuck knows how long the Pack and Cards would've been duking it out.

[Team Sheep]

Patriots fans just proved how fair weather they are today. Unable to fill the stands for a play off game and booing your team in the first quarter. I guess you have to win at least 12 games and a deep play off run for some support up there :roll:

[SammyG]

I forget what it's like to have the Rams in the playoffs.

[Nark Order]

I'm confident in the Bolts decisively beating the Jets. Beyond that though, it might be a bumpy ride.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Patriots fans just proved how fair weather they are today. Unable to fill the stands for a play off game and booing your team in the first quarter. I guess you have to win at least 12 games and a deep play off run for some support up there :roll:Ya shoulda cheered the 21 point deficit

[Skippord]

yeah I'm fairly certain if you get down 24 in the first quarter you deserve to be booed
