Well then, in the playoffs Merriman will make up for it, and force 12 fumbles from Bush in the game.
![]() Also, IT SEEMS BILL PARCELLS HAS NOT SIGNED HIS EXTENSION AND IS CONTEMPLATING HIS FUTURE. HIS FUTURE MEANING COACHING THE VIKINGS. Holy shit, please God I've been a good boy... you gave me Sharper and I'm thankful for that, but Parcells in Minnesota would be so NEAT, you have no idea! |

I know we talked pre-season about strength of schedule, which based off 2004 had Miami with the most difficult, the Pats 2nd (only because they played miami where miami played the pats) and the Past had the "toughets stretch in nfl history" I think it was like a 6 game stretch. My points always been that SOS before the season means crap, because you have teams like Miami who go from being
4-12 in 2004 to being 9-7 in 2005 Teams like the Jets 10-6 Playoff team in 2004 to 4-12 in 2005. I always say, lets look at SOS when the season is over, well it is and here's a link with a break down. http://www.fftoday.com/sos/sos.htm a few notes. Playoff team who had the toughest schedule: New England Playoff team who had the easiest schedule: Seattle It's something interesting to look at, but don't put too much stock into it, while it does have some effect, you can't choose who you play, I prefer to look at teams records vs. over .500 teams, if someone has a link or time to to that, please post! thanks! |

Seriously though, check out those Dolphins. Pretty promising year (but they've had like 5 of them in the last 6 years or something)...
Also, I dunno if I posted it here but I'll post it again: TICE ASKED TO BE TOLD SOONER THAN LATER WHETHER HE WAS GETTING FIRED. THEY RESPECTED HIS WISHES YET FINISHED THE SEASON RATHER THAN FIRING HIM WITH ONE GAME LEFT (which is what Red did to Denny Green). So Tice got to go out on top, he went out with a smile, it was an emotional victory, and I hope to see him back in MN someday soon. I would orgasm 3 million times if he came back as an assistant coach under Parcells. Maybe put Martz in at O-Coordinator ![]() |

On Tice, maybe they were afraid he'd try and scalp his superbowl tickets
![]() Nah, I heard the same, he wanted to know ASAP, that being said... didn't they tell him in the lockeroom shortly after the game? dunno, I guess they could have let him known before the game so he could say "goodbye" to his team... |

Don't the Vikings have a wealth of RB's? They have Mewelde Moore, Ciatrick Fason, Moe Williams and Michael Bennett. They oughta get a coach who will utilize that. I'm not sure how their defense is.

Their D pretty much got them to the brink of the playoffs after LoveBoat, so who knows. I read an article somewhere about Culpepper maybe not going back after he's rehabbed though (
![]() Here scroll down to the Daunte's Inferno bit. I really can't see it happening, but who knows? |

People need to get over the dropkick. He didn't cure cancer for crying out loud.

Did anyone see Dick Vermeil's press conference where he brought his Grandson on the stage?? I know that kid, I played lacrosse with him a few summers ago and lives 10 minutes from me.

Remember, I'm a Pats fan, but I can't stand Flutie. I respect what he's done for charity (given it's a charity that benefits a disease his son has), anyone I know who has delt with him personally has said he's an ass, and he gets a free ride in this town because he threw a lucky pass, he tried to play in the NFL and couldn't, his WR's complain things like "you have no idea where the ball is coming from because you can't see him back there". That being said, it being "special" because it hadn't been done since 1941 is crap! (or was it in 41 years?), it's not done because a FG style pick is easier and more accurate. That being said, what he did is not easy, and I gotta give him props for it. Of course, if the game counted it wouldn't have ever happened, but now he can be in the books for hopefully his last season, for his home team, with a score. |

I really don't care that he got any recognition or award for it but c'mon. It was a dropkick, meaningless in all sense. Its not like it won the Pats the game. Its pretty stupid in the sense that Flutie actually practiced something like this and everyone makes a big deal out of it.

I just give him credit because it's not easy to do, hit the ground just right, kick etc... it's funny, I don't think anyone think's it's a great accomplishment, it's simply something not seen for many years and it was found funny. My brother is a Phins fan, he couldn't figure out what was more embarasaing, Flutie hitting that kick, or the missed ally-op which also got a 15yd penalty when the Phins 1st team was barely beating the Pats cheerleaders. |

I haven't heard anything about the dropkick since the day after it happened. I don't anyone is really saying its the greatest shit ever, but it was pretty sick. It's actaully better then back in the day, because when they did it all the time, the ball was mad differently and you bounce the ball back up, like a rugby ball. So when they used to do it, they didn't do it like Flutie, where he kicked right when the ball touched the ground. They used to let to bounce back up then kick it.

There was, very brief one. Actually makes it harder cause there's no exact way to know how the ball will react when it hits the ground unless you drop it in exactly the right spot.

First let me say, in all fairness he got some things right, he called the Colts D top 5 and we all laughed at him, he predicted Orton could lead the Bears and make the playoffs and we all laughed at him and a few other things.
Also, I'll be the first to say, you can find plenty of things I screwed up (so did everyone) such as last year when I felt Tiki Barber was a 1yr fluke (he did it again this year, he even had less fumbles this year! Plus my "The Jets will make the playoffs and possible the division" didn't exactly pan out did it? But, since me and RP enjoy our back and forth, and he stands by his team and I really needed a distraction for a few mins... her's some quotes of RP's from before the season. As said, he got some right and some wrong, and I'd never call him the "Wadding" of the forum! Ok, I’m bored so a little RP history from before the season. Quote:

Also, I'm sure we've all made bad predictions in the past... that's part of making bold predictions: Anyone can say "Well you can never count the pats out, but you never know in the NFL, maybe even the Bears could make some noise!" |

![]() VEL I'm curious, going by your definition of paper team (ie the Chargers last season) what is your take on the Seahawks? Their schedule is below btw Sep 11 @Jacksonville Lost 14-26 Sep 18 Atlanta Won 21-18 Sep 25 Arizona Won 37-12 Oct 2 @Washington Lost 17-20 Oct 9 @St. Louis Won 37-31 Oct 16 Houston Won 42-10 Oct 23 Dallas Won 13-10 Week 8 BYE Nov 6 @Arizona Won 33-19 Nov 13 St. Louis Won 31-16 Nov 20 @San Francisco Won 27-25 Nov 27 N.Y.

They had he 4th easiest schedule in the NFL. that being said, they were 4-2 against teams .500 or above, they were 2-2 against teams that made the playoffs. So, while they did have a lot of bad teams on their schedule, when they played the good ones they won 2/3 of them and 1/2 of them vs playoff teams. No we can argue the Indy game shouldn't count, Indy had nothing to prove, homefield, streak over, coach out.... so if you take that game away. 3-2 vs good teams, 1-2 against playoffs teams. The example I use for a "paper team" is SD of last year, who was (if I remember correctly) 2-4 against good teams. |

That dropkick is not as hard as people think it is. It's fairly easy once you get the bounce down. If that was the first time he had ever tried it would've been more impressive but guys in rugby can drop kick a ball a good 50 yards. Not to sound self servient but I made a 40 meter (roughly 43 yards) drop kick and I was just some high school rugby punk.
I just enjoyed the fact that they even thought about trying it. Good for them |
