NFL 2010

[Brother None]

So much good NFL Films stuff on there. Endless and free!

Unless, of course, you're not in the US.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

*cough* Proxy

You should find a way, I don't shell out for NFLN, but even still the library of NFL Films Hulu has available on demand for free is pretty replete.

Just watched 'In Their Own Words' episodes on B. Walsh and another on Belichik. Good stuff. Walsh being dead of course and Belichick being somewhat on the Stalinist side of media relations, it's always good to know that NFL Films has so much great shit archived and packaged for posterity.

edit:
The Parcells one is great too, I really miss his press conferences from the NYG days.

Here's some good stuff too:

edit X2:
Hope McFadden wears his asbestos uni today, he's gonna get scorched. Steelers (and just about every other AFC playoff team) would pound any given NFC into bone meal...except the Packers. Steelers too vulnerable at CB. Hope the Packers watched what Brady has done to the Steelers over the years.

Just nice to see 2 physical teams in the playoffs, not like those two faggy dome arena teams last year.
Looking forward to a good SB. (please more dramatic plays like Harrisons 100yd TD return to bury SB42 from memory)

Good Super Bowl. Lofty Super Bowl. Terrible half-time show.

Congratulations, Pack. Well-deserved. You guys winning the Super Bowl with all these injuries makes me think you're going to be dominant for a while.

 

[DammitBoy]

Do you ever shut up, Sander? Jesus.

I'll bet the outcome of last nights game shut him up for a minute.

Congrats on your team pulling off a win twinks...

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

Yeah, you really couldn't ask for more out of a SB. I really enjoyed, pretty tense from start to finish even though no lead change. I barely noticed all the usual extraneous noise and hype and strokery.

Field conditions really sucked though, would be my only complaint, looks like they were playing on a slip and slide.

You guys winning the Super Bowl with all these injuries makes me think you're going to be dominant for a while.

Given the state of the rest of the NFC I can see the Packers being pretty dominant there for the foreseeable future.

Congrats Pack all accolades and rose petals at your feet and all that. Then we put the targets on your backs you mofos.

Parity era has certainly made for some phenomenal SBs. Hasn't really been a bad one since TB/OAK


Typical A-Rod:

Brady MVP - who gives a shit? I liked the good old days when Manning won the MVP and Brady won playoff games.

 

[Sander]

I'll bet the outcome of last nights game shut him up for a minute.

Eh? It was what I wanted to happen and what I expected to happen.



Anyway, Jerry Jones done fucked this shit up. First, he gets 400 guys excluded from the Super Bowl despite having tickets because the temporary seating was fucked. As if that wasn't retarded enough, he had also set his sights on the all-time Super Bowl attendance record set in the Rose Bowl. To get there, he sold tickets to some square outside the stadium where people could watch a screen and be counted. And he was still 1,000 or so short. Hilarious.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

None of that bothers me in the slightest, the field conditions did however. I got 3 feet of snow outside my house, I really don't need to hear about how cold it was or about 2 inches of slush either.

While we're at it, I'm not at all interested in who football players screw, under what circumstances, and what level of consent is involved. Can we put that to bed now too? Does your legal status make you eligible to play football or not is my only real interest.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

I don't even have the words. Also, this:

Pretty cool.

 

[TheWesDude]

i was dissapointed really.


there were some good plays, but packers may have been in danger at points but they kept the pressure up and steelers just made far too many mistakes.

not something i expected to see at this level of play.

and this was the first football game i have seen for like 5-6 years.

i r not impressed.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

Yeah, I put my kids in bed before the second half too.

Also, this:

Nice corner, but he put the special in special teams.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

i r not impressed.

Sooooo....should I be ignoring all your posts from here on out or just the ones regarding football?

Nice corner, but he put the special in special teams.

Um...what?

#1 Sam Shields was in his way, then proceeded to run into him. #2 he pretty much shut down every single receiver he covered all year. Don't be "special" yourself, dude. As much as that shirt-tuck thing makes you look the part.

Aside from some drops and a muffed punt there weren't many mistakes or sloppy plays that weren't forced by the opponent. So I'mma just go ahead and disagree with that.

Peter King named Mendenhall the goat of the game for his fumble. Which is retarded, because without Mendenhall they're out of that game before the fumble even happens.

No shit...and considering it was a pretty goddamn forced fumble by Matthews.

*ahem*

I'm sorry...by Bloodline.

Gracious even in victory...
You're dense, I just said he was a nice corner, I'm talking about the punt return (you know, special teams) where he #1 let it go and #2 punched that dude in the face for a 15 yard penalty.
That was really stupid. He's no Revis.

BTW Favre is still your best QB in franchise history. Let's not fall into the typical sports fan myopia of only examining the most recent snapshot and acting like it's persistent.

 

[Brother None]

Not the best SB I've ever seen but we've been a bit spoiled. It was pretty damned good, Steelers even managed to make it close again, but it's really a football 101 thing, lose the turnover battle, lose the game.

BTW Favre is still your best QB in franchise history. Let's not fall into the typical sports fan myopia of only examining the most recent snapshot and acting like it's persistent.

No, Bart Starr is.

But at least Favre and Rodgers are comparable era-wise. Best of all time becomes kinda dumb when you go back that far.

Given the state of the rest of the NFC I can see the Packers being pretty dominant there for the foreseeable future.

The whatnow to the whonow? There's quite a lot of young talented teams in the NFC. The West sucks, but it sucks in the AFC too.

Considering the NFC won three of the last four Super Bowls, the AFC dominant era, if there really was one, can be shelved. Which is good.

Parity era has certainly made for some phenomenal SBs. Hasn't really been a bad one since TB/OAK

I dunno man, Colts-Bears was pretty shitty.

Parity also seems to work a bit better in the NFC than AFC. 10 different NFC champions in 10 years. On the other side it was Patriots 4 times, Steelers 3 times, Colts 2 times. Bit boring.

Brady MVP - who gives a shit? I liked the good old days when Manning won the MVP and Brady won playoff games.

's what he said

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

No, Bart Starr is.

Yeah greatest power sweep QB ever! Favre's body of work is pretty prolific and phenomenal, the last 3 seasons and the despicable Strahan laydown notwithstanding. He wasn't surrounded by a dynasty like Starr either, in fact the bulk of his career was in the shadow of other great dynasties in the '9ers and Cowboys.

Not to say Rodgers can't one day be comparable, but he has a long way to go. Favre ain't got shit to prove anymore. Next stop Canton, no detours plz.

Considering the NFC won three of the last four Super Bowls, the AFC dominant era, if there really was one, can be shelved. Which is good.

I don't get the conference chauvinism. I never rooted for the Broncos/Bills/Bengals over the 49ers/Skins/Cowboys, just wanted competitive games. Which we are getting for the most part now, conference trends notwithstanding.

Besides, the team that wins the SB isn't always the best team.

Parity also seems to work a bit better in the NFC than AFC. 10 different NFC champions in 10 years...
On the other side it was Patriots 4 times, Steelers 3 times, Colts 2 times. Bit boring.

Evidently you didn't watch those AFC Championship games between those 3 over the last decade. Anything but boring. Not like watching the Eagles puke on themselves in the NFCC game over and over again.

The AFC has 3 of the best run franchises (I'd actual throw the Eagles in that group too), but that's just where the chips fall, it's not really an indication of one conference being inherently more parity proof. It's just that the three best run franchises of the last 10 years happen to be in the same conf.

I dunno man, Colts-Bears was pretty shitty.

Why you gotta diminsh Pey-pey's crowning glory like that?

 

[UncannyGarlic]

Aside from some drops and a muffed punt there weren't many mistakes or sloppy plays that weren't forced by the opponent. So I'mma just go ahead and disagree with that.

There were a lot of dropped passes that were inexcusable and Roethlisberger threw too many interceptions. The offenses on both sides weren't as clean as they could have and should have been. That said, both defenses were impressive and it was a close game. It wasn't a great super bowl but it was a good one.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

You're dense, I just said he was a nice corner, I'm talking about the punt return (you know, special teams) where he #1 let it go

Cute. Let me turn that around on you:

You're dense, I just said that Sam Shields got blocked into him. It was a fluke play which only could have been prevented at the last minute by letting the ball go, which yes...he probably should have. He's not a great returner. Nope. He's not. But he's in that spot because we don't have anybody else who is reliable. And yes, he is reliable. One drop in your career as a returner in a game as big as the SB is just a little forgivable.

#2 punched that dude in the face for a 15 yard penalty.
That was really stupid.

Yep, that sucked. And this is an indication of his overall quality as a as a ST player how?

He's no Revis.

I haven't seen one argument regarding his CB skills. Hey, McFly! That's what the T-shirt is celebrating you neanderthal with a half-tucked shirt.

BTW Favre is still your best QB in franchise history. Let's not fall into the typical sports fan myopia of only examining the most recent snapshot and acting like it's persistent.

Hey, here's an idea! Let's wait until Rodgers is done playing, then go ahead wasting your time comparing.

 

[Brother None]

One drop in your career as a returner in a game as big as the SB is just a little forgivable.

I assume he's not starting at returner next year anyway. Too valuable to play special teams when he's not that great at it.

Hey, here's an idea! Let's wait until Rodgers is done playing, then go ahead wasting your time comparing.

And until Favre is done playing.

I don't get the conference chauvinism.

Man, why are you so good at trolling? You've spent entire off-seasons here yammering about how the AFC is so much better and the NFC are just a bunch of scrubs. I just bring up the balance seems to be back - if it was ever gone - and suddenly you don't care and it's all chauvinism?

Pro troll bro. I applaud you. Untucked shirt and all.

Besides, the team that wins the SB isn't always the best team.

I don't know of any more legitimate definition of "the best team" than "the team that won the championship".

Evidently you didn't watch those AFC Championship games between those 3 over the last decade.

I dunno, it's been a while since the AFCC was between two of those three. 2006? That was a good game.

Anyway, I didn't say the games were boring, just the principle.
