Is there a Texans fan on these forums? Think every other playoff team has at least 1 poster rooting for them.

FearedSanctity 01-02-2012 02:05 AM

If it counts the Texans have been my B team since they started playing in 2002. It's mostly due to being in Texas but I've watched pretty much every Texans game. Love the team, but they'll just never overtake the Broncos for me

Nark Order 01-02-2012 02:11 AM

My B team is the Browns. :(

Evil Vito 01-02-2012 02:25 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Don't really have a B team. Always had a bit of a soft spot for the Lions though since they've been horrible for the longest time. Megatron is so much fun to watch, as is Suh when he's not stupidly stomping on people. If I had to pick an official #2 team to pull for in the playoffs it'd probably be them.</font>

Splaya 01-02-2012 03:57 AM

I'm hoping the Lions win but their road through the playoffs is insane.

New Orleans Saints individual records -- not including quarterback Drew Brees Kevin Spain, The Times-Picayune 01/01/2012 4:39 PM

New Orleans Saints individual records (non-Drew Brees) and notes from the win against Carolina on Sunday.

· TE Jimmy Graham had eight receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. He set a franchise record for receptions in a season with 99 and tied another mark with his 11th touchdown reception. The previous mark for catches was 98 by Marques Colston in 2007. Colston, in 2007, and Joe Horn, in 2004, are the other receivers in Saints history with 11 touchdown catches.

· For a brief moment, Graham held the NFL record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end (1,310), before New England's Rob Gronkowski caught a 23-yard pass in the final two minutes to up his season total to 1,327.

· Running back Darren Sproles had 168 combined net yards (40 rushing, 29 receiving, 45 punt returns, 54 kickoff returns) Sunday to improve his season total to 2,696, an NFL single-season record. The previous mark of 2,690 was set by the Tennessee Titans' Derrick Mason in 2000, and the second-highest total (and previous Saints franchise mark) of 2,647 was set by Michael Lewis in 2002.

· Colston caught Brees' first pass on Sunday to go past the 1,000-yard mark in receiving yards for the fifth time in his six seasons with the Saints. Colston, who had 10 catches for 145 yards against the Panthers, ends 2011 with 80 receptions for 1,143 yards.

· Graham, Sproles and Colston all finished with 80 or more receptions.

· Colston and Graham are only the second set of teammates in franchise history to each have 1,000 or more yards receiving. In 2001, Joe Horn finished with 1,265 receiving yards and Willie Jackson 1,046.

· Cornerback Patrick Robinson's second-quarter interception was his team-leading fourth of the season, two of which came off Carolina's Cam Newton. Robinson is the seventh different Saints defender to lead or co-lead the team in interceptions since 2007.

· Rookie linebacker Martez Wilson's third-quarter sack of Newton was the first of his career.

· Punder Thomas Morstead broke his own franchise history for punting average at 47.9. He averaged 45.9 yards per punt a year ago.

· Kicker John Kasay's 144 points scored and 63 points after touchdown extended his own franchise record.

Didn't wanna be in the playoffs this year anyway. Whoever wins this year will forever have an asterisk anyway.

:shifty:

Nervous Ferret 01-02-2012 11:09 AM

1. lions
1A. Texans
3. bengals


Then Packers, Giants, 49ers, Tebows and maybe the Falcons I wouldn't mind rooting for if they're "playing sick".


Saints, Pats, Steelers, Ravens soooooo00o gay

Gonzo 01-02-2012 11:24 AM

Listen to all of you with your B team bullshit. There is no B choice.

Evil Vito 01-02-2012 11:40 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Like I said, I'm not emotionally invested in any team other than the Giants...but I enjoy football more when I have some sort of rooting interest so if the Giants aren't playing I'm all about the underdogs unless a team I hate is involved.</font>

Kris P Lettus 01-02-2012 11:56 AM

Divisional schedule were released..

NFC South plays the NFC East and the AFC West with the Saints playing the Pack on the road and the 9ers at home for their "flex" games..

Evil Vito 01-02-2012 12:19 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah the Giants' schedule is gonna be brutal next year. Finishing 1st in the division means they have to play the Packers and Niners again along with the NFC South and AFC North.</font>

Evil Vito 01-02-2012 12:21 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Spagnuolo's firing is now official. I gotta figure the Eagles are going to try to lock him up as quickly as humanly possible before the Giants' season ends (although it wouldn't surprise me if Fewell's job is safe due to making the playoffs anyway).</font>

<font color=goldenrod>I love the criticism that Rob Ryan's defense is actually too complicated for the players to understand.</font>

Supreme Olajuwon 01-02-2012 01:18 PM

Raheem Morris out too. C'mon.

Supreme Olajuwon 01-02-2012 01:19 PM

At least we can avoid the Dungy and Gruden rumors for the Tampa job.

One thing I can say from watching the Cowboys is that they have some piss poor tackling.

That's a good place to start improving things.

What? Tackling had been the best part of that defense all year.

The downfall was that they looked ridiculously unorganized on seemingly every play.

Kris P Lettus 01-02-2012 01:45 PM

Why is Terrance Newman still a starter in the NFL??

ClockShot 01-02-2012 01:49 PM

Figured Morris would have an extra year to turn it around. Last year was pretty good for them. Or was that his first year on the job?

Spags is better off running defenses. I wouldn't touch him to head coach my team. See Mike Martz, Charlie Weis, and Romeo Crennel.

Kris P Lettus 01-02-2012 01:56 PM

Morris was there last year..

James Steele 01-02-2012 02:13 PM

Well...that sucked. Can anyone loan me a few bucks?

This season only proved that the Colts were a 1 man team. Nothing more.

I wonder if it is also related to the recent news of Bill Polian considering not drafting Luck at all and instead RG3 based on him thinking he's the better QB right now. Originally he was 100% for luck until RG3 won the Heisman and then started to really consider not taking Luck.

Would take longer to rebuild the o-line to fit Griffen's run ability potential instead of Luck's style that almost matches the current Manning style.

ft.All season long, that speculation has centered on Stanford’s Andrew Luck. Over the weekend, reports emerged that the team may be considering Baylor’s Heisman Trophy-winnng QB, Robert Griffin III.
