NFL 2009 Season Thread

[DaveBrawl]

If the Vikings win it all SI should title their season recap dvd the Brett Favre Revenge Tour.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God I don't want Brett Favre to win the Super Bowl. Any other team, fine...but not fucking Favre.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

oh by the way, I have no issue with Favre's last TD pass at the end of the game. I hate the whole "running up the score" argument. It's so stupid because you are always taught to finish out the game and never let up. So just because you are up big you should settle down? I never got that.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I get it when one team is clearly just trying to beat up a noticeably weaker team, but Dallas is mad because they wanted to quit and Minnesota wanted to keep playing. Suck it up, boys.

[RatedGSuperstar]

From a Favre-hating perspective, a Jets-Saints Super Bowl would be the best possible outcome. Not only does Favre choke in the NFC Championship game again, but the team he torpedoed last season makes it to the Super Bowl with a rookie quarterback who doesn't take stupid risks in the playoffs.

[Loose Cannon]

I get it when one team is clearly just trying to beat up a noticeably weaker team, but Dallas is mad because they wanted to quit and Minnesota wanted to keep playing. Suck it up, boys.

yea, I mean obviously there are some instances where one team is clearly out to just embarass the other team. but yesterday was definately not that

[Loose Cannon]

you guys already put the nail in the coffin on the Jets making it to the ________

You've said the word. it's already over

[Nark Order]

For a team like the Chargers that depend mostly on their offensive passing game and their "sure thing" field goal percentage, when your QB and your kicker are having the worst night of their lives, it's a done deal.

However, Phil Rivers had a much better night than Nate Kaeding did. Jesus.

[BCWWF]

Alright, here's my analysis guys. Sorry it took so long to bring it to you.

First I'll start in the AFC. Love that the Jets got there. For one, I'm still rooting for the football Gods to seek revenge on the Colts, and the Jets beating them would be just that. I'm also glad that the Chargers lost, just because it shuts up all of the air bags who couldn't stop gloating about how great and how hot the Chargers were. I'm not surprised at all that they choked.

As far as the next game, I think it is unwise to write the Jets off automatically, as some already have. Pointing out the regular season at this juncture is pointless. The last game between the Colts and Jets is almost meaningless. The Jets began to put everything together, and any deficiencies they had in the regular season are history now. If the Jets secondary can remain as dominant as it has all season, and postseason, the Colts could be in for a fight. Darrelle Revis and Co. could really fluster Peyton and Co, if they take away the Colts passing game.
Monday Prediction: Colts 65-35 Jets (subject to change)

Now for the NFC. Not surprised at all by either result. Well, a bit surprised at how bad Dallas showed up. But not surprised that they lost. This goes back to the idiots on ESPN who can do nothing but talk up bogus theories of "Dallas is so confident right now" as if that suddenly makes them a heavy favorite to beat the Vikings in Minnesota. I think position by position, it's hard to find more than maybe two or three that I'd prefer the Cowboys' player to the Vikings. Then the Metrodome has been defended with ease by the Vikings all season.

The talking heads also thought the Saints were dead in the water because they played poorly down the stretch. That's stupid too. The Saints had nothing to play for (a loss combined with another team's loss moving you from first to second seed is hardly "life or death.") The Saints had it locked up, they were strong all year, and they were going to overpower Arizona because they are a more complete team. Arizona is flawed.

Now, the NFC Championship is the best possible match-up of any in the playoffs, if you ask me. There's not two teams that are as good and match up as well in the NFL. Both are complete teams with good quarterbacks, strong defenses, and diverse offenses. Personally, I think the Vikings have more talent man-to-man, but I think the Saints have to be the slightly favored team going into this. Although I slightly favor the Saints, I am still confident that the Vikings will overcome the Super Dome crowd and play up to their potential, for once.
Monday Prediction: Saints 55-45 Vikings (subject to change)

Denver enters the defensive coordinator derby (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/01/18/denver-enters-the-defensive-coordinator-derby/)

Posted by Mike Florio on January 18, 2010 5:59 PM ET
In an offseason that has seen plenty of defensive coordinator jobs open up, another one has become available, in an unexpected location.

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan have "mutually decided" to part ways.

The move comes after a season in which Nolan's presence increased the team's performance from No. 29 to No. 7 in total defense.

The reason for the separation isn't known (yet), but the development puts Nolan in play for vacancies in Miami, Buffalo, and Chicago.

Nolan, who uses a base 3-4 scheme, would be a good fit with the Dolphins.

He also could be a fit in Arizona, if coach Ken Whisenhunt decides to dump Bill Davis after the Cardinals surrendered 90 points in two postseason games -- and if Whisenhunt opts to embrace the 3-4 approach used by his former team, the Steelers.

In Arizona, Nolan would be returning the the NFC West, where he served as head coach of the 49ers from 2005 through the first seven games of 2008.

Jesus fucking Christ, come on now. This'll be what? The 4th or 5th DC in as many years?

[ClockShot]

Just read about it. Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. :roll:

Don't worry, McDevil is next if he can't get it right next season.

[Shadow]

Jesus fucking Christ, come on now. This'll be what? The 4th or 5th DC in as many years?

And how many head coaches have the Skins gone through?

[Skippord]

dammit I liked Mike Nolan

[FearedSanctity]

And how many head coaches have the Skins gone through?

Uh, 2?

Denvers gone through: Larry Coyer in '06, Jim Bates in '07, Bob Slowik in '08 and Mike Nolan in '09.

[Skippord]

I wish they would have fired Slowik then hired him back then fired him again

fucking guy was awful

[FearedSanctity]

He was so bad it was why Shanahan got fired apparently. Bowlen told him Slowik had to go, Shanny said no and Bowlen figured "Eh, time for a change anyway. Bye"

[Skippord]

Bowlen should have punched Shanahan in the face for wanting to keep Slowik

[FearedSanctity]

[Skippord]

I miss Jake Plummer

I think he's probably at his compound in Idaho preparing to overthrow the government

[RP]

Party's over bitches! Time to get the fuck out!

[DaveBrawl]

I miss Jake Plummer more with every snap. Shanahan should of been punched in the face for dumping him too.

[Hanso Amore]

Chan Gailey.....CHAN FUCKING GAILEY! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME I AM GOING TO KILL RALPH WILSON'S 91 YEAR OLD SENILE ASS AND FUCKING MURDER EVERYONE IN THIS FAMILY.

WHAT



THE



FUCK

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

I figured that was gonna be your reaction when I heard that on the radio today, Hanso.

I'm sorry...:'(

[Hanso Amore]

Its like such a downer. Like Gailey isnt HORRIBLE, but he is not good.

Its like coming down the stairs chistmas morning and getting tube socks....they have use but I want something good.

[Skippord]

I thought Chan Gailey had died like 5 years ago before today

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I dunno what Bills fans are upset about. This is a guy who had a 12-7-1 record in the World League of American Football with the Birmingham Fire.

[ClockShot]

Mike Nolan is your new Miami Dolphins Defensive Coordinator.

:foc:

[Miotch]

I hope he wears a suit on the sideline.

Also:

[SammyG]

FUCK HIM

[Miotch]

Who, Nolan or Allen?

[SammyG]

Redneck 69

[Miotch]

I'm guessing you're a Chiefs fan then?

You guys should have paid the man.

[SammyG]

Haha, I am not. I'm a Rams fan. I just really dislike Jared Allen.

dances with wolves

[Miotch]

You hate him because he's hilarious and awesome and can fucking hunt elk with a spear?

I fail to see your logic.

[#1-norm-fan]

Flozell was dominating Allen for the first two series of the game. After he got injured, the O-line fell apart. And Brett Favre can throw a football to a guy who is getting covered perfectly and the ball still somehow falls into their hands. Ridiculous.

[Miotch]

Flozell Adams can't hunt elk with a fucking spear I bet.

[Crimson]

No but he can stomp on your head while your face down on turf

[Miotch]

CLASSY

[Crimson]

Jared shoots elk with spear.

Elk stumbles to the ground. still breathing.

Flozell with a headstomp.

Perfect combo

[Gonzo]

I hate Flozell Adams, such a scumbag.

[OssMan]

There is no way that elk died from that spear. They definitely shot it off camera or something. The thing just hits it above its leg and then it starts running and the spear falls out. WTF is he even talking about going "native american style," I am pretty sure native americans didn't have iron spears when they were hunting elk

[Reavant]

I dunno what Bills fans are upset about. This is a guy who had a 12-7-1 record in the World League of American Football with the Birmingham Fire.

us bills fans are not ammused by sarcasm right now

[Reavant]

I was really hoping the bills would get the DC from the vikings... FUCK

[Loose Cannon]

J.E.T.S.

[Skippord]

ok I just listened to Elizabeth Hasslebeck analyzing football on NFL Live

the world is going to end

[DaveBrawl]

What is it about Leslie Frazier that keeps everyone from wanting to hire him? His name comes up for every job opening, and I get why, but you'd think in as many as he's rumored to interview for he'd get one. I mean his defenses seem to be a lot better than a lot of guys that end up with head coaching jobs. The guy must have the worst job interview technique ever.

[RP]

they probably think he's a sideline reporter

[FearedSanctity]

I remember reading last year about him having great interviews, including a good one with Denver I believe, so I can't figure it out either

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think up to this point he's just been the token black interview that every team has to do, but nobody's seriously considered him.

[DaveBrawl]

That's why I'm wondering, in the past sure he was just to pass the Rooney rule, but at this point there aren't any real big name candidates left so why isn't he given the serious consideration such as the Josh McDaniels or Jim Caldwell. Guys who have had some success on other levels like Frazier, but constantly get put over him.

Now Buffalo for example didn't even need him to qualify for the Rooney Rule since they interviewed Perry Fewell but they interviewed him anyway and still ended up with Chan Gailey. Now I could chalk that up to management with Buffalo, but with as many teams as he gets interviewed for not all of them should turn him down without something going on.

[Reavant]

apparently buffalo was looking for a guy with head coaching experience and an offensive background

[DaveBrawl]

Yeah I didn't mean just Buffalo, since like you're saying they wanted something completely different, but it seems like he's been passed up by teams that want exactly what he brings in. It's just wierd to me. It's almost like they have made him a joke.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I dunno, when he was DC in Cincinnati he never struck me as a head coach so maybe its just not his thing.

[DaveBrawl]

That makes sense.

[parkmania]

The Jets are already pre-selling AFC Champion merchandise.


Reminds me of the Patriots' trademarking 19-0 a couple years ago. Get the job done first.

[Team Sheep]

The Jets are already pre-selling AFC Champion merchandise.


Reminds me of the Patriots' trademarking 19-0 a couple years ago. Get the job done first.

This happens every year with the Championship teams. Nothing new.

[Big Fat Mike]

If the Jets beat the Colts then Rex Ryan deserves a nice long contract extension

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I wanna see the Jets win the Super Bowl to see if they attempt to carry Rex Ryan off the field</font>

[parkmania]

I'm sure that 53 of them put together MIGHT have the strength to do it.

[Miotch]

If the Jets beat the Colts then Rex Ryan deserves a nice long contract extension
Rex Ryan probably just deserves a nice long contract extension.

[Team Sheep]

Hahaha

http://blog.nj.com/jets_impact/2009/07/large_rex-ryan-new-york-jets-diet-731.jpg

I love him.

[Big Fat Mike]

lol what a mess

[Crimson]

I want the Vikings/Jets in the superbowl.

But I have a feeling both home teams will prevail. Jets have been hyped so much already I think they're jinxed and done . Vikings too many guys banged up..Saints might actually blow em out early ,then Favre bring them back only to fall short.

[Team Sheep]

Anticipation...

[Loose Cannon]

I don't even want to watch today. I just want this day to end.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Jets are sorta like the Mets in 2006. Fair or not, despite all they've accomplished this year they pretty much have to win the whole thing to take control of NY/be the center of attention in the city for the year. If not, all the attention will focus back to the older, more popular team once the offseason starts.</font>

[Big Fat Mike]

I will say this now....

There is absolutely no way that the Jets beat the Colts unless Peyton Manning leaves the game early with a severe injury. He is just too damn good to beat, I don't care what defense he is playing against. Manning will put up at least 35 points, and without defensive scores ( not likely) the Jets just won't be able to keep up. Sanchez is going to be one of the better quarterbacks in the league someday, but right now he's too green ( pun intended) to get the job done in such a high pressure situation. He can't and won't lead the Jets' offense to a win against a high scoring team.

That being said, I think that the Jets had a great season and I have a newfound respect for the organization. I think that they have been exciting to watch, especially in the last 7 weeks. The job that Ryan and his coaching staff has done with the defense and the running game has been nothing short of spectacular. I might be a Giants fan, but I'm looking forward to the 3:30 game the most. The likelyhood of the Jets winning today is very small, but I hope that they give Indy hell anyway.

[Nark Order]

If the Colts can shut down a good portion of the Jet's rushing game then it's all over. Mark Sanchez is too much of a rookie to be any good in such a high profile game. Even in the Chargers game that they won, he looked mad sloppy.

[Big Fat Mike]

The Colts aren't the Chargers. To specify, Peyton Manning isn't Phil Rivers. A reason to believe that the Jets' defense won't be able to stop Manning? Rex Ryan is 1-6 against the greates quarterback to ever live, and the one win came in week 16 when Indy packed it in midway through the third quarter.

[Nark Order]

I, for one, will not be counting the Jets out in this game against the Colts just yet. I have a feeling the Colts will take it, but it's definitely not outside the realm of possibility for the Jets to take it.

[SammyG]

Colts by 21.
Saints by 7.

[Nark Order]

Taking Colts and Vikings. Anywhere to bet online?

[SammyG]

God a Jets/Vikes superbowl with the Jets winning would be ssiiickkkkkkkk. ultimate fuck you to favre.

[Requiem]

So pumped about today's game. Obviously I think the Colts will win, but I think it will be a good game and the Jets will not go down without one hell of a struggle.

[SammyG]

The autoplay on LT's video gets me everytime. It sounds like something is wrong with my computer, or the wind is blowing or whatever every time it starts.

[RatedGSuperstar]

If Brett Favre wins, we riot.

[Kris P Lettus]

Who Dat??

[DaveWadding]

Hurricane Favrah blowin through Nawlins 2niteeeeee

[Kris P Lettus]

It's gonna be Breesy, but that's because of the Drew Tang Clan..

[Big Fat Mike]

During halftime of the Knicks vs. Mavericks, John Starks wsa interviewed and said that the Jets are going to win the Superbowl.

I guess that means that Mark Sanchez is going to go 2-18 with 6 interceptions.

[Nervous Ferret]

GET @ ME RP

[Big Fat Mike]

JUST WANT SOME FUCKING FOOTBALL TO START ALREADY GODDAMNIT

[The Gold Standard]

I have no idea who I want to win of these 4 teams.

[Nark Order]

HERE WE GO.

Nice opening return.

[thecc]

Get used to it Peyton

[Nark Order]

naw

[The Gold Standard]

I think that the winner of this game wins the Super Bowl

[The Gold Standard]

A lot of Jets fans there

[Nark Order]

STOPPED. NO GAIN, SUCKA

[Nark Order]

Wow, Jets may try for a passing game here.

[The Gold Standard]

He can't make a big kick if his life depended on it.

I saw it first hand when he was on the Giants.

[Nark Order]

Nate Kaeding has cursed every kicker in the NFL now.

[Nark Order]

God, Sanchez is so sloppy.

[The Gold Standard]

Nate Kaeding has cursed every kicker in the NFL now.

Well, Feely has always been bad in clutch situations

[The Gold Standard]

I can see this game being a 10-7 game

[Nark Order]

Wow, what a gain. 27 yards. That was beautiful.

[The Gold Standard]

Garcon is very good.

[The Gold Standard]

I love Garcon

[Nark Order]

GARCON AGAIN. Jesus.

[The Gold Standard]

Narcissus, who is your favorite team?

[Nark Order]

Chargers. Tough fucking break this season.

Well, not so much this season, as we ruled. But choking last week didn't feel very good.

[The Gold Standard]

I don't know what it is about them in the playoffs, but they can never get it done.

Who are you rooting for now?

[Nark Order]

JETS TD

[Nark Order]

I don't know what it is about them in the playoffs, but they can never get it done.

Who are you rooting for now?

Don't care all too much. Would be cool see see Favre get another ring though before he retires.

[Reavant]

edwards decided he wanted to play this week..... CRAZY SAUCE

[Nark Order]

WHAT A STAND

[Jeritron]

I can't think of anything that would be any less cool than seeing Favre get another ring before he retires

[Jeritron]

besides the Jets getting rings. That would be less cool

[Nark Order]

No love for Favre, Jeritron?

[Jeritron]

He used to be alright. But no, I do not like Favre at all anymore.

[Nark Order]

Requiem is punching himself in the face right now.

[Big Fat Mike]

Wow...how can any neutral fan watching this game not root for the Jets? This is the best football all season I've seen played against the Colts.

[Nark Order]

I typically hate underdog teams because everyone goes on about them too much and try to make into some "Cinderella story". And then the team with the better record is made out to be some dastardly villain when all they did was win alot.

[Jeritron]

What real fan is really neutral, unless their team is a complete non-issue in the league? I can't really see how someone who has a favorite team can't have strong opinions about a lot of other teams in the league.
For instance, as a Pats fan I hate the Jets and The Colts due to rivalries. I want The Jets to lose more this year though

[Jeritron]

Also can't stand Favre winning in any capacity on any team he latches onto. So I want him out.
That leaves the Saints as the team I'd most like to see win.

So glad the Chargers and Cowboys are out. Hate Jerry Jones and Tony Romo. Sorry Narc, Philip Rivers is a clown and LT is the biggest baby ever

[Jeritron]

Ravens and Harbaugh are a joke. So sick of seeing Ray Lewis' murdering ass on tv. Glad they're out.

Really the only team I would have wanted to really win other than The Pats were The Bengals.

[CSL]

Also can't stand Favre winning in any capacity on any team he latches onto. So I want him out.
That leaves the Saints as the team I'd most like to see win.

So glad the Chargers and Cowboys are out. Hate Jerry Jones and Tony Romo. Sorry Narc, Philip Rivers is a clown and LT is the biggest baby ever

Isn't 'latches onto' a bit strong? Vikings wouldn't be in this game today with Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under centre

[Nark Order]

Phillip Rivers is a wonderful quarterback.

[CSL]

Worst fucking weekend ever for streams

[Jeritron]

Isn't 'latches onto' a bit strong? Vikings wouldn't be in this game today with Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under centre

I just don't want The Vikings to win because Favre is on the team. Don't really have a problem with the rest of the team

I say latches onto because he clearly just doesn't want to retire and will play wherever will have him. I'd say at least he wants to be on teams that compete, but from there he'll go anywhere. In fact, The Vikings was also to stick it to the Packers which is even worse.

[RatedGSuperstar]

The Vikings were still a solid team without Favre last year. They probably don't beat out the Packers for the NFC North title without him (and don't hang on for the bye), but they'd still be a playoff team.

With that said, I hope the noise in the SuperDome blows out his eardrums tonight. I heard on ESPN this morning that he'll be wearing the Vikings playcalls on a wrist band for the first time tonight and the writing was too small for him to read. :D

[Triple A]

Rex Ryan is the Walter Payton Man of the Year

[Triple A]

TAKE OUT THOMAS JONES, HATE HIM

[CSL]

lol Peyton Manning all 'Fuck it, might as well go score'. I get the feeling he (not the Colts) could win the Superbowl every year but just chooses not to 'make it fair' for everybody else.

[CSL]

Like at the end of his career he's gonna go play for the Bills, win the Superbowl on his own just to show people he's been giving everybody else a shot the whole time

[Nark Order]

I don't get that feeling at all.

[CSL]

Bring in Cooper to play WR just to rub it in a bit more

[Supreme Olajuwon]

WIDE OPEN

[Big Fat Mike]

Nice season , Jets

[RatedGSuperstar]

Ballgame.

It's nice that Revis is such a good shutdown corner, but that doesn't mean jack shit if the rest of your secondary can't cover when you blitz.

[Big Fat Mike]

Triple A and nerf----do you need a hug?

[Nark Order]

Done deal

[Nark Order]

AHAHAHAHA NERF. Your team lost!

Alright, I'm sorry. Feeling terrible right now. Just getting revenge. :(

[Team Sheep]

No complaints, better team won. I kinda felt at half time ok, we've scored too early. We've typically been more of a 2nd half team the last few weeks. Total reverse today. And when Shonn Greene went off I knew they'd take care of a solo Thomas Jones no problem. Secondary was pretty iffy today too.

This play off run has been a complete surprise so it's been fun. All the best for the Super Bowl Colts.

[Triple A]

Damn.

Sept is so far away.

Would have been amazing to win the Super Bowl this way as huge ass underdogs.

Really thought they could have won this game. :( Wish Strickland and Greene didn't get injured but w/e. Colts are good. Damn. Feeling sad

[RatedGSuperstar]

It'll be interesting to see how the Jets do next year. After this good stretch, will Mark Sanchez fall into a sophomore slump like Matt Ryan did last year? The last time they went to the AFC title game the next year was a huge disappointment, IIRC.

[Team Sheep]

The future looks very bright with Washington and Jenkins to come back too, but yeah every Jet fan has heard that before.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Colts took the Jets best shot in the first half and were only down 4. That TD right before the half was huge for them. No way the Jets could have duplicated what they did in the 1st half again in the 2nd, I knew they were gonna lose without having a bigger lead after that.

[McLegend]

Brett Favre right now looks like he really doesn't want to get hit anymore.

[Droford]

Berrian gave that Saints player an RKO lol

[CSL]

Vikings balllll

[Droford]

whoops

Game's over if the Vikings don't respond straight away

Adrian Peterson trying his hardest to make it hard

Good God Brett Favre is getting killed.

OMG BRETT FAVRE HURT OMG OMG OMG FAVRE

See..now you know its the Saints game to win when Brees bothces the snap and still gets the first down..

or not apparently

[RP]

the vikings are shooting themselves in the foot... they are a much better team than the saints

[RP]

WHERES THE MOTHERFUCKERS TALKING SHIT ABOUT THE COLTS ALL THIS YEAR YOU DUMB BITCHES! SHOW YOUR RETARDED FACES NOW!

[Londoner]

Loving this game.

[CSL]

Seems the Vikings just can't be arsed to go to the Superbowl

[Nark Order]

Favre, you moron.

[McLegend]

Wow he did it again.

I can't believe it. I mean I can believe, but I can't.

Wow

[RP]

stupid farve just lost the game

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I really want to see Colts/Saints

That being said, if the Vikes lose Favre will immediately be asked if he's retiring, and we'll get another offseason of this shit.</font>

[Nark Order]

Favre could've run that himself and they would've been in perfect field goal range.

[Londoner]

Favre's clearly 'past it' now, that old cunt.

;)

[Innovator]

All you had to do was run, you had 10 yards easy, idiot.

[Innovator]

When can we start the krispy v. RP showdown?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>If the game ends here:

Favre's final pass as a Packer: INT
as a Jet: illegal forward pass
as a Viking: INT</font>

[CSL]

As soon as the Vikings hammer the final nail into their own coffin

[Nark Order]

When can we start the krispy v. RP showdown?

Was thinking the same thing. God help us.

[RP]

why in the world would the Saints go for it here?

[Innovator]

My god do the vikings even want to win? Just trying to fuck themselves

[Droford]

why in the world would the Saints go for it here?
why not?

[Team Sheep]

Leaping salmon.

[Droford]

nice they dont call helmet to helmet on that hit there when he clearly fucking did it

[Nark Order]

MORE REVIEWS PLEASE

[McLegend]

That might not be a first.

[Droford]

5 bucks says the Saints kicker chokes

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm torn on who to root for if its Colts/Saints (since I always like to have a rooting interest)

I love Manning...but the Colts just won it three years ago whereas the Saints would be in their first SB ever.</font>

[Triple A]

Damn, Vikings should have won this game. Would have rather seen Vikings/Colts.

[Droford]

nice phantom PI call

[CSL]

nice they dont call helmet to helmet on that hit there when he clearly fucking did it

Very much doubt any mildly sane human being is gonna purposely try and stop a 210lbs missile with his head

[Droford]

Damn, Vikings should have won this game. Would have rather seen Vikings/Colts.
no they shouldn't have..

5 turnovers..you dont win any game, much less a Conference championship with 5 turnovers

[Nark Order]

He made that catch, methinks.

I like how everything is a booth review now

[Nark Order]

no they shouldn't have..

5 turnovers..you dont win any game, much less a Conference championship with 5 turnovers

Don't know what you're watching. Yes, they should've won the game. All favre had to do was run 5 yards or so instead of that stupid throw then the game would've been in the hands of a very good kicker. Vikings game.

Now looks like Vikes are fucked.

[owenbrown]

lol Saints are 3 for 3 in booth reviews so far in overtime

[Droford]

I still say the saints kicker chokes..this is a 40 yarder and his season long was 38.

[Nark Order]

Garrett Hartley, it's time.

[Triple A]

gonna miss

[CSL]

Choke you bastard

Don't think he does though

[screech]

The Super Dome will have no roof if he makes this.

[Nark Order]

SAINTS SHOWWWWWW

[Nark Order]

Totally thought he was going to Kaeding that shit.

Brett Favre, you lost the game. Congrats.

[CSL]

Ahh well, the Vikings fucked themselves over, can't really complain. Saints were there for the taking and it was like 'Nah, fuck it'

[McLegend]

What a choke this game was.

[Droford]

Favre cant retire now, he'll never get over that last throw for an INT, though it would be a fitting end to his career

[redoneja]

Ughhhh can't stand the Saints. Guess I'm rooting for the Colts now.

[CSL]

Brett Favre, you lost the game. Congrats.

They wouldn't have been in that position of it wasn't for 2 redzone turnovers

[Nark Order]

Can't even get over how badly Favre fucked that up that sure win.

[RP]

Saints will be destroyed by 21 points in the Superbowl.


Reggie Wayne is hurricane btw.

[Nark Order]

They wouldn't have been in that position of it wasn't for 2 redzone turnovers

Well right. Fact stands though that if Favre had just ran instead of going for that awful pass, Vikings game.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm honestly happy either way. I'll prolly pull for the Saints JUST cause they've never been to a SB before, and obv that means they've never won one.

But...I wouldn't really give a shit if the Colts won, either</font> :)

[Requiem]

LOL REAVANT REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA TALK SO MUCH SHIT WHEN THE JETS BEAT THE COLTS? LOL WHAT HAPPENED THERE ARE YOU STILL GONNA TALK SHIT EVEN THOUGH THE COLTS GOT 24 UNANSWERED POINTS AND CAME BACK TO BEAT THE JETS?

Nah but seriously. Caps lock off for a second here so I can let you know how I really feel.

Suck it.

[Heros Welcome]

I hope Peyton TORCHES the saints.

[screech]

The game is going to be great.

[CSL]

Personally think Favre would be a fool to retire now. Maybe he'll shock the world and say in some variety of quick time that he's gonna play next season

[CSL]

lol nah, never gonna happen

ok Colts fan

[McLegend]

He is getting paid 12 million next year. Despite his last throw he was pretty good in this game, and really good this whole year.

[Nark Order]

I say he replaces Warner. lol

[CSL]

He took a beating in that game

[Splaya]

Thank you to the Saints and the Colts who netted me 100 dollars today

[Johnny Vegas]

Yea, in my heart i would've liked to see Farve v Manning; Legend vs The Best Today. Hell of a storyline (there is my wrestling coming out). But its good to see NO go to the SB. The city needed that.

Farve has got to be sick right now. But he played his heart out, though. Can't really dump it on him though. When you fumble 5x, you really have to have God on your side to still win.

[Gonzo]

I can't stand this football thread. 99% of the posters in it just stroke their own team like assholes and type insults in all caps over the stupidest shit.

He is tough.

Well, looks like I won't be watching Super Bowl XLIV. Don't care for Indy or New Orleans at all.

[BCWWF]

Well, the Vikings had every opportunity to win that game, even could have won by more than a touchdown. But when you lose three fumbles and throw two picks, you just aren't going to win a football game.

[RP]

Almost every single post of mine in this thread was me calling for the Redskins to go fuck themselves. Are you serious?

[BCWWF]

I felt like my assessment of the Vikings loss was pretty objective.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol wow Brett Favre's last pass an INT. That's 3 seasons in a row that's happened.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would hate to be Chargers management if Brees was to win the Superbowl since a few years ago they get rid of him thinking he was the problem why Chargers can't win the big game while Brees has been getting MVP-quality stats without the actual awards each year.

[Team Sheep]

#1 vs #1 for the first time in years. NFC just doesn't seem as threatening as the AFC though. The mistakes in that game were ridiculous.

[Big Fat Mike]

I'm rooting for the Saints because I can't stand RP.

[RP]

who dat!

[Johnny Vegas]

I don't want to sound all "it was supposed to happen", but c'mon:

-Saints win coin toss
-Phantom Pass Interference call (IMO)
-Dropped pass by Colston kept as a catch
-Farve not running the ball on that roll out and throwing an INT
-5 fumbles by the Vikings

Saints were so supposed to win this game, its weird.

[Big Fat Mike]

I dont think that anyone was "supposed" to win this game. The Vikes turned the ball over...alot. You can't do that in a conference championship and expect to win.

[Team Sheep]

Hate an all top seeded Super Bowl. I love the 'Cinderella' stories with wild card teams or highly unfavoured division winners, as gay as it sounds. Fucking adore the teams who sneak in as a wild card and get hot at the right time and get all the way to the big show. It's just a big fuck you to the dominant teams all season that can't get it done when it matters. Credit to the Colts and Saints though, they've set the league right this year.

[BCWWF]

Somebody on my facebook (a stupid girl, mind you) has this status:

Undeserving win for the saints... Good thin the officials were on their side.

Go colts!!!


I don't know what she could possibly be referring to? The pass interference call on Ben Leber? Could have gone either way. The Meacham completion? Again, could have gone either way. It's just such a stupid thing to say. The Vikings lost this game by losing three fumbles, not at all because of the refs.

[Team Sheep]

It was a girl talking about sports. Don't even acknowledge it.

[McLegend]

That PI call in Overtime was a poor call, but Minnesota got most of the calls throughout the game.

[Johnny Vegas]

When i say "supposed to", its like a metaphor for like some kind of "higher power" looking over the Saints. I mean, things like this happen, but c'mon. Holding on to the ball is one of the fundamentals of the game. Just like dribbling a basketball, just like throwing a baseball to your first baseman. I could see a team in the NFC championship doing 2, maybe 3 FUMBLES, but 5? This is destiny for the Saints.


I'm just glad for the Vikings kicker because if would've gotten an opprotunity and missed a game-winning FG, Minnesota would've wanted his head.

[BCWWF]

After 1998, if Ryan Longwell had taken a field goal and missed, it would have been devastating.

However, arguably the worst play of the game was the 12th man penalty with 19 seconds remaining. I would give Longwell a 70 percent chance of making that kick for the win, and in reality the likelihood would probably have been a lot higher.

I hate it more when that occurs because ESPN had been predicting and hyping Saints v Colts since mid to late season when both were undefeated. Similar to last year's NBA playoffs where all they promoted was Kobe vs Lebron for the Finals then got "sad" when Magic upset the Cavs. Too much hype or focus on Peyton vs Brees when in reality both teams defense carried them to the playoffs.

True.


Just saw the Farve interview. The man looked like he was crying before he got on stage. I feel really bad for him, seriously. The guy is a class act, good human being, and plays his fucking heart out every week. Hey, no super bowl appearence, fine. But to have the last play as an INT (again) has got to fuck with you, BAD.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The thing that annoys me most about the whole Favre thing is that for years now they've made it sound as though he's never won a SB ring and will wind up like Marino...when in fact he's obviously won the SB before.</font>

[James Steele]

I'm calling it now: Brett Favre will play again next year, and Brett will be a Minnesota Viking.

[screech]

I can't stand this football thread. 99% of the posters in it just stroke their own team like assholes and type insults in all caps over the stupidest shit.

I wouldn't say it's nearly that high. You're just seeing posts from the same people over and over again.

His last pass with Atlanta was also an interception.

For as much as I just want him to go away (I'll admit I did crack a bit of a smile when he needed help getting off the field after the first INT), he put together a damn good year. It's just a shame that Brad Childress is one of the worst coaches in the league.

With that said, now everyone in Minnesota knows what Packers fans went through all those years...coming so close even in games you had no business winning, only to have Brett get caught up in the moment and make a really bad decision.

If he does decide to come back for one last year, though, I do hope that he actually mans up and goes through an entire training camp. No one else in that locker room is getting coddled that way, and it sets a bad example. If Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen, Sidney Rice, etc. don't get the luxury of coming into camp the last week in August, neither should he.

[OssMan]

When will this year's Brett Favre Offseason Fiasco begin?
