NFL 2011 Thread

I'm going to say:

AFC
New England over Baltimore
Something along the lines of 24-21 or 28-24

NFC
New York over San Francisco
Experience and luck favor NY.

Try 45-17. If they call off the dogs before the 8:00 mark in the 4th.

Yeah, that was an asswhipping. Good thing the dogs got called off.

[Crazy Levi]

Yeah what a blowout. Total rout.

But in the end they couldn't get it done.

My brother in law before kickoff - big ravens fan - said the ravens have terrible special teams and they'll lose if it comes down to a field goal. He's a genius!

[SkyDog112046]

Belichick is going to go ballistic on them tomorrow morning. Three turnovers should raise his ire.

[cantstopthemusic]

I know, right?!

It's no crime to make a bad prediction, but this is exactly what you get for playing tough-guy with your picks.

If I'm Billy Cundiff, I fear for my life. Ray Lewis has already gotten away with one murder.

Lewis is planning on recreating the scene from Scarface where they toss the guy out of the helicopter. Start looking for Cundiff in the water about 30 miles from Logan.

I see the Pats will be playing against the Rams at this year's game in London. I may well go to this if I can get tickets. The Rams will also be playing 1 game in London for the next 3 years.

The offer was extended to the Bucs who turned it down, fyi. Go enjoy the game though. The NFL is outstanding.

I managed the correct winning team, at least, so there's THAT as a consolation.

The New Jersey (yeah, I said it) Giants will (hopefully? ... pretty please?) make it 2 for 2.

Maybe.

[Crazy Levi]

Do you get paid by the comma, or what, dude.

Interesting they offered it to 2 NFL teams that have owners who also own English Premier league teams. I wonder if the Browns were next on the list.

[WOLF]

Man - I guess Cundiff will be looking for work (or a bodyguard). He HAS to make that kick. Evans HAS to catch that ball in the end zone. Also, I don't get how with a yard to go, a little time on the clock, and a timeout, you don't get a fresh set of downs and buy your self 2-3 more plays to get in the end zone or kick a field goal that's even more make-able.

Ravens choked and deserved to lose.

Not sure. I had read that the reason the Bucs had been going was because they can't sell out their own games. So they asked the Rams, who have had some lackluster sales in Saint Louis. However, this theory holds no water because the Pats sell out every game. BUT, Bob Kraft gets anything he wants from Goodell and this is probably his return favor...

Here's a conspiracy for ya.

The NFL wants to expand, and maybe put a franchise in England. But they need somewhere to play. Filing Wembley every home game might be tough, and also Wembley wants a share of the gate etc. If you move a franchise that has an owner who owns an English soccer team, with it's own ground, problem solved. The Bucs could play at Old Trafford, the Rams at the Emirates and Browns at Villa Park. Of course they'd never let the Browns move, would they?

No, if you recall CONGRESS stepped in on the Browns.

A bunch of us just sent Cundiff this with a huge thank you note. Its on it way to the locker room first thing in the morning!

Here is where we see what Smith is made of. 1:47 left and 3 TOs from his own 29 with the score tied.

[SkyDog112046]

Talk about fumbling your chances away.

And SF still needs a QB. Smith was 9 of 22 for 153 yards at the end of regulation. That is Tebowesque.

[nycyankee]

Kyle Williams won that game for the Giants.


What a piece of shit.

[Luminiferous]

Anyone think Williams will still be a 49er next season?

Dude cost his team a trip to the SB.

Why was he anywhere near the ball that touched him
in the knee?

2nd fumble was carelessness on his part.
Hold the ball with two hands and stop trying to be a hero.

[MurrayFiend]

Haha at Brady's postgame comments: "Well, I sucked pretty bad today, but our defense saved us."

That's endearing. Sorry, haters.

[demolition23]

Dude was trying to make up for his earlier fuck up with a big play I'll wager.

[MickeyG]

You guys are being too rough on the guys that fucked up. It happens all the time, on every team. Kickers miss easy shit all the time, and fumbles and deflections are part of the game.

Regarding the 49er game, that punt returner already fumbled once in the game at a very critical moment was inexcuseable.
The 2nd fumble is all on him for being careless.
The dude probably wanted to tweet all his followers about how he returned a punt for a TD and get his team to the SB.
WRONG!

[noam_bombsky]

He better not be. That shit was infuriating. The offense was playing weak enough, they damn well didn't need any help from some jackass who can't hold onto a damn football returning punts.

When's the last time he had a 53 QB rating? At least he's honest. It wasn't his best game. I was stunned that Gronkowski could walk, let alone come back into the game. That guy's a beast.

I thought that ankle was broken for sure.

[SkyDog112046]

Michaels and Collinsworth will call the Superbowl. They are about as good a crew as is out there right now. Anything is better than having to listen to those assclowns from ESPN call the game.
