ha ha Orton's Chiefs to be blown out sunday

How's that working out for you, dumbass?

[bane]

Texans showing some balls going for 2 at the end. But I don't think they should have gone for it after the 5 yard penalty. Titans in a good spot to get the $6 seed if Balt beats Cincy.

The way that game ended was a "What the fuck moment!"....wouldn't mind seeing the Titans again next week though.

Kubes didn't want OT. He was playing a tight end at linebacker. I was at the game. Sucks that they lost, but theyd have kicked Titan ass if they'd been playing starters. I didn't know who half those players were in the second half.

Orton beats Tebow. Pitt is going to destroy them.

Oh this guy is a regular Nostradamus man, check out these gems from the NBA thread...

Kobe will get another ring this year

Oklahoma will be #5 seed, lose 1st round

Lakers are to good even with the Lebron James loser coach

Do you have dreams of seeing the Colts play while Poison is playing in the middle of the field?

Dude fuckin' nails it every time.

he's easily the biggest idiot that posts on this board. I seriously can't think of a bigger moron on any topic you can think of. Of course if you saw the guy you'd understand but I think the words speak for themselves.

After watching the Bengals and Broncos losing, yet backpedaling into the playoffs, I may have to rethink my opinion of parity.

Dude, LA Glam Rockers did everything they fucking could to build up a strong reputation of reaching the highest plateau of intelligent discourse but then he comes here and fucks it all up. No wonder why Jani drank himself to death.

It's like what Sons of Anarchy are doing to the Hells Angels. Sonny Barger is whistling furiously out of his neck hole about that shit.

"He is playing better than Rodgers at this point and has to get serious consideration for MVP."

Rodgers just passed for 5 TD's vs a defense that has historically given him/Packer O fits.

Rodgers went 15-1(14-1 technically) w/ the defending champ bullseye on his back.

Rodgers BEAT Brees once already.

Yes,Rodgers lost to KC.....Brees lost to the fucking RAMS! KC have we have seen just needed a coach and a decent QB and are actually a solid team and will contend next year with its stars back. The Rams are garbage and are going to start over yet again with a new coach in 2012.


The only viable threat to AR for MVP is Brady.
I could go on but I've already proven you are stupid.

Half way through the season Rodgers would have been the unanimous MVP but Brees has turned it up a notch the past couple of months. In that time N.O. has won 8 straight, most of them blowouts. So it's no longer a case of Rodgers being the hands-down choice. He still should be MVP for the season he's had but Brees now deserves consideration, meaning he should get some of the votes but not enough to win the award.

I wouldn't put Brady over Brees this season. While Brady has been very good he hasn't been as sharp as he was in the past. His INTs are up and his completion rate is down. Not just that but his accuracy has been off even on a lot of the completions. He has an injury(I believe right elbow) that hasn't been fully disclosed. If you watch the Patriots(I've watched every snap) you'll see that he has been uncharacteristically inaccurate. He's one of the all-time greats, he's been 3rd best in the league this year, and best in the AFC, but not an MVP candidate.

Is Matt Flynn the real deal or Matt Cassel 2.0?

He won't be back to the Pack next season. Today's game might have made Flynn some money.

"On January 1, 2012, Flynn, in his second career start, set the Packers franchise records for passing yardage (480) and touchdowns (6) in a single game against the Detroit Lions."

He's gonna make some serious dough somewhere else next year. No way to know how good he really is yet.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Skins make a run at him.

I hate the idea of trading draft picks away to bring in Luck. Though there's a chance RG3 could fall to #6.

Cleveland will grab Griffin before Wash has a chance at him. It may have been a different story if Barkley came out, the Skins would have gotten one of them. Flynn has looked good every time I've seen him, but it is a short sample for a team to give him a big deal.

The best two weekends in the NFL are coming up! Wild Card weekend matchups:

AFC
Cincinatti @ Houston (Sat 1/7 @ 4:30)
Pittsburgh @ Denver (Sun 1/8 @ 4:30)

NFC
Detroit @ New Orleans (Sat 1/7 @ 8:00)
Atlanta @ New York (Sun 1/8 @ 1:00)

Predictions?

Though there's a chance RG3 could fall to #6.

If Griffin's stock keeps rising, St. Louis will be sitting pretty at #2. If anyone wants Griffin, it's gonna cost.

Eli Manning is the anti-Mark Sanchez.

The season is over, and I have to say, I am glad this one is behind us. It's been a year to forget and it's time to move on. Although, in a lot of ways, the action is just beginning for us. We've got the number one draft pick and numerous coaching/personnel decisions to be made. This will be the most turbulent offseason around here in quite some time. Supposedly team management is meeting as we speak to decide the fate of Coach Caldwell and to discuss the immediate direction of the franchise in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, all signs are pointing to Coach Caldwell being relieved of his duties. I hope that's not the case, but when you go 2-14, I guess some changes need to be made. I've always supported Coach Caldwell and I don't believe he's to blame for the season. We should know his fate by tomorrow, either way.

[Rageman]

Back in August, all I heard about was the Jets and the Eagles and how they were the class of the NFL.

Gotta love them experts!

[Tommy]

Jets could easily win out

@ WSH
KC
@PHI
NYG
@MIA

Not impossible.

ahem.

Just
End
The
Season

Yup.

Wholesale changes needed on the JETS.

Sanchez while terrible, is going nowhere, I know this. Shotty will, with any luck, be gone this week. Horrible play-caller. Today: 3rd and 14 mid-field, Wildcat formation, QB dive for a shit yard. They NEVER throw in Wildcat and every D coordinator knows it.

Jets won't go after a big name QB, at least I don't think so. But what they should do is push McElroy. Guy looked great in preseason before getting hurt. Sanchez needs a fire lit under his ass. Sink or swim. Long-term I think he sinks. Apparently McElroy is a smart mofo. Doesn't always translate, but i'd bet he can read coverage better than Sanchise.

Jets need a RT badly. A traffic cone blocks better than Wayne Hunter.

I don't care about McKnight's return numbers, he can't hold on to the ball, maybe find a sucker in a trade or just cut him. DONE.

Need new secondary. Smith, Revis, and Wilson can stay.

Not sold on Greene. You can blame the O-line maybe, but he can't run shit up the middle.

I keep LT. Easy decision.

So yeah. Jets finish either 9-7 or 7-9 next year.

Agreed

Can't wait to see the point spreads. Oddsmakers are going to have to come up with something juicy to get people to put money on Tebow-time, vs Pittsburgh's D.

Pittsburgh -28 @ Denver might get a few people to take Denver with the points. But I'd still take the Steelers. This is going to be a blowout of epic proportions, even with Mendenhall going down and Pitt's O-line having issues. It's going to be like the Denver/Detroit game.

Something interesting I found regarding QB passing. If you look at the Top 10 QBs in All-time Passing Yards they have only won 4 Superbowls as starters, and Elway has 2 of them. So all those numbers they put up over a combined 1700+ seasons only resulted in 4 championships.

Brees and Brady will enter the Top 10 next year as Brees needs less than 300 yds and Brady less than 900 yds. If they have average seasons they will be 8th and 9th at the end of next season. Eli Manning and Rapistberger need another 3-4 seasons to join them. Rodgers is putting up numbers at a nice clip but those seasons he lost to Favre might cost him.

It does point out that the rules have changed to favor passing as at least half the projected top 10 will be from the current era(bulk of their career played after 2005 rule changes).

I wonder if Brees can catch Favre's passing record. Even an average year for Brees is what, 4,000+ yards? Rodgers will never come close to the top 10.

Are they giving up on Colt already? I know they're talking about getting a vet to start, but are they gonna do that, keep McCoy and bring in RG111?

Most of the experts I heard had the Jets as a wild card team.

Only the Walrus knows. It has been the talk of the town for the last few weeks. Neither Shurmur, Heckert, or Holmgren would say if Colt would be back though. They all said that Colt "would be evaluated at the end of the season." Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Seneca Wallace has spent the last two weeks throwing Colt under the bus while proclaiming he should start, to the press. So you can bet Seneca is not resigned....

Yeah, it's one thing to be a loyal fan, but clearly, Caldwell is in over his head. He won games with Tony Dungy's leftovers. This year he was exposed. Peyton Manning was an incredible loss, but a capable coach still would have won more than 2 games with this team. Caldwell should fired ASAP.

Bane, the crappy Bengals backed into the playoffs, but if I'm the Texans, I'm scared. What do the Bengals have to lose? They don't belong in the playoffs, but yet they are there. They are like the Seahawks last year, except the Seahawks actually won the last game of the season to earn their spot.
