NFL 2011

If you want 32 teams, you're going to get Tim Tebow quality starting QBs, that's just the way it is.

I can't hear you through all the WAH WAH WAAAAAAH.

Perfect spot for him is Jacksonville.

lol no.

I don't think the Packers are built much like the Colts were. The defense is completely different, for one thing, and beyond being pass-first-run-third the offense is different too. It's built on having lots of different receivers who've all been on the team in the same system for multiple years. There are so damn many you simply can't cover them all.

That sounds exactly like the Colts, actually.

But the Packer defense is capable of much better things. They proved so last year.

How many guys are going to break Marino's record this year? Silly.

That was mostly the lockout. Offenses have slowed down since, to no one's surprise.

Anyway, it's Brady, Rodgers and Brees on pace for that. Not exactly bad quarterbacks.

 

[eom]

Yeah, every team w/a competent enough QB is the fucking Colts now. Great.

'Member a couple of years ago in the preseason when the Colts were having a tantrum about the new positioning of the refs? Yeah, nobody else does either.

.

oh, I remember that -- and I remember manning deliberately fucking with them to make his point.

huh? You're reading into some kind of drama that's not there.
Tebow in the NFL provides a great source of amusement for me.

lol no.

Sure it is.
Look, he's never going to be a "good" QB, but he is a very popular QB. He is a god there, and they have an attendance issue.
It's a business move. But it's not like he'd hamper their great tradition of winning either.

I don't know that it really means anything. For reasons beyond the lockout, Marino played in a much tougher era. What does passing that mean today?

Tebow is a bad player. I don't enjoy watching bad players.

Yes? What is this, baseball? Since when have records meant anything in the NFL?

You know, the sack record is likely to fall too this year. And this time it won't be a fake one.

In that regard, he's got a lot of company in the NFL though doesn't he? In fairness, I've never bothered to watch the first 50 minutes of any of his games. It's not his quarterbacking prowess that amuses me. It's the comical ineptitude, the Ned Flanders on steroids vibe and the chagrin he elicits in the know-it-alls.

I really can't remember in my lifetime an era where there were so many ill-prepared, "physical", scrambling QBs coming into the NFL. I know the NFL has wanted more offense for years, but Vince Young, Tim Tebow and Denard Robinson aren't going to get it done (they can't play the Patriot's secondary every week).


For shame NMA, attention-whore enablers.

For shame NMA, attention-whore enablers.

FWIW, I've owned a few pairs of Wranglers, and they were pretty good.

Packers lose, Colts win. I can only lollerball.

Up is Down and Down is Up!

Now we can stop all this silly "Can they go undefeated?" jibber-jabber.

The Pats are setting Tebow up for his biggest miracle comeback yet!

In case you hadn't noticed, the above is a poem. Including this line.

You just hate him because he loves the baby jesus.

You racist.

Jets lost


Cus my dad being depressed for the next week

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

Hope he's not a Mets fan too. Santonio Holmes couldn't be a better captain for that team. After fumbling twice, down 28-3 w/4mins left, he draws a taunting foul on a TD. That's the Jets in a nutshell.

Let the Battle for NY hype begin! Pretty much a playoff game too.

Now we can stop all this silly "Can they go undefeated?" jibber-jabber.

It's a pretty admirable accomplishment, but, you don't automatically hear the '72 Dolphins come in GOAT talk either. There are worse ways to go 18-1.

What's up with the Packers O-line now? Will the playoffs be more than just footage filler for the Packers "3 Games to Glory" DVD?

Barring Patrick Chung doing a Bob Sanders '06 comeback wrecking ball routine, I hold few illusions about the Patriots. I hope the 2006 Colts doesn't become the NFL blueprint going forward.

think he'd be used to it by now

lol. He's that too. That and a Rangers fan.


My dad really lost the "what team do you like best" lottery

btw who came up with this retarded thursday night football on saturday idea??

They do that because ESPN owns the rights to the brand Saturday Night Football.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

That sounds like ESPN, buy the rights to something that has never existed only to prevent someone else from calling a football game played on saturday by Saturday night Football.

That shows you the ESPN mentality, that branding is more of a priority than content or substance.

I know it's been a gradual change, but at what point did ESPN just become like the People Magazine or Entertainment Tonight of sports programming?

Except they do use it. It's what they use for the college football games at 8PM on Saturdays.

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

College football season is over, and the only teams that play that late on a Sat. are Mormons and Hawaiians and other assorted west coast lunatics.

What's up with the Packers O-line now?

Well, losing Sherrod is not the end of the world. They'd been working him into the game slowly over the past few weeks, but he wasn't a starter yet. It affects the depth though, since Newhouse would normally be the primary backup for both tackles. Bulaga's injury doesn't sound too bad. He might miss the game this weekend, but he might not. Luckily Chad Clifton seems like he's on track to return for the playoffs, or maybe even sooner.

If Clifton is not back yet, and Bulaga can't play, then Lang moves from LG to LT (which he's played before, and did fairly well), and Dietrich-Smith plays LG. Newhouse would play RT. It's a beercan-and-bailing-wire solution, but it's not horrible because none of those guys would be manning positions they've never played before. Another injury this weekend would make things tougher.

The way things stand now, the o-line should be fine for the playoffs.

I notice GB signed a tackle named Herb Taylor to replace Sherrod, so he'd be next in line, I assume. If he was on Ted's secret list, there must be something good about him.

An undefeated season would have been nice, but as I'm sure you can attest it's not so wonderful if you don't win the Super Bowl, so meh.
