Last year we had quite a bit of verbal jousting during the playoffs, so with the regular season only about a month away, well...... why not have an NFL thread? [beer]
For starters, the two biggest disappointments this year will involve the Eagles & Redskins.
The Eagles will be disappointed after getting shot down by their former quarterback, Donavan Mcnabb. Two division losses for the Eagles this year.
The Redskins will be (and probably are) disappointed that they ever signed Albert Hanesworth. Albert Hanesworth will be disappointed that he didn't get his fat ass in shape while he watches the Redskins in at least the wildcard round of the playoffs.
By the way, I'm a long time Niners fan, so I am hopeful we get out of the cellar and at least make it to the playoffs this year. The NFC West (worst) shouldn't be as tough this year now that Warner has retired. 10 & 6?
I'm looking forward to seeing the Rams new quarterback and what he can do. Maybe they can pull it together and win 2 games.....
New coaching staff. Revived defense. More experienced offense.
Hopefully will make Da Bears contenders again.

your asking for too much.
Some stuff i wnat ot geto ff my chest, not necssicarily fact but hey.
a) im a giants fan, still pissed of that our Defense went to shit after steve spagnuolo left. we suck got lucky, but were really good after that year and just lost it
b) Favre better play or i will stab his tires. he better win a damn superbowl too
c) I hope tom brady gets back into the groove. although im a new yorker, my first football games were watching New England Play against the rams. so im partial to that team just because i followed them before i followed the giants. btu i wasnt into the football that muc then.
d) also, i hope the cowboys burn. i hate them. i hate romo.
e) I hope romo breaks his pinky again.
f) both fo them this time. hes good for nothing. really. he isnt.
f)Mcnab is going to smoke the redskins. just like favre smoked the packers.
also i hope LT kills on the jets. I want sanchez to get to the playoffs again. hes got an arm and pretty damn accurate too.
okay, back to NFL hibernation mode. i cant wait!!!!!!

+ 1, he man [clap]
Perhaps I should have clarified. I am a fan of two teams.
#1 Niners
#2 Whoever is playing the Cowboys. [drink]
I've been a Brown's fan since 1960.
Yeah, pretty tough to admit and even tougher to swallow.
I'm hoping w, Holmgren as President and new faces on the field , the Team might get to .500 or better.
Don't know about Jake Delhomme, he's in his 16th season.
Still think Brady Quinn had the right stuff if he had a better line and receivers.
Dolph :)
The Browns line was the best it's been since the late 80s, but Quinn made a lot of bad decisions. I can't blame the kid given how the team treated the QB position. Terrible mismanagement.
I was a Packers fan, and when Holmgren went to Seattle, I followed that team. Now that he's running the show with the local club, I'll be watching the Browns again. I'm excited about Seneca Wallace and Josh Cribbs in the backfield. Both can catch, throw and run. Both have QB experience and are listed as receivers.
The Browns will be good this year. With the Steelers starting the season with their star rapist on suspension, the whole division gets a head start.

This years season of "Hard Knocks" on HBO will be featuring the Jets. Starts Aug. 11.
If you haven't watched this show (you're really not an NFL fan :P). It is excellent. It started in 01 with the Ravens. Then the Cowboys in 02. Series resumed in 07. Check it out. [thumbsup]
the jets are looking pretty stacked. I know I sound like a broken record every football season but.... GO BOLTS!. Lets hope we can start strong this year and the norv turner grows some balls and gets further into the playoffs or send him packin!

Maybe McNabb can stitch together a team. who knows, i just want them to beat eagles.

Not a big football fan (especially college ball) but I do live in Dallas and I'm a native so I have been inundated with the Dallas Cowboys since they first existed. I remember my Dad taking me to games early on when they played at the Cotton Bowl on the grounds of the State Fair of Texas. He was a season ticket holder from day one at Texas Stadium.
Anyway, it was great seeing the TV news coverage last night of Emmitt Smith being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He is far and away one of my all time favorite Cowboy players. His work ethic on the field, what he did for the local community off the field and being the all time leading rusher made this a no brainer. Good example to young players. [thumbsup]

I don't think everyone will have a head start because Big Ben's out. This division is stacked with Cinnci and Baltimore. Those are the teams to watch out for. Our Brownies have no chance this year. I will say that I think Delhomme still has a couple of good years left and heard a nice interview with the guy who covers the Panthers who thought that Jake needed a change of pace and still has a lot left in the tank.
I hope Cribbs gets an expanded role becuase that guy is unstopable.
While I'm a Browns fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Cinnci get a ring.
The Raiders will suck again. Sigh...

[laugh] OK ;) Seneca Wallace isn't anything special...just ask Seahawks fans.
I'm hoping that Cutler and Martz will gel, and the Bears offense will be good enough to take the pressure off of their defense and let them play loose. I'm also hoping that the addition of Peppers will make their D-Line a serious force, making their mediocre defense actually a very good one. If the D-Line can do their job and free up the linebackers, while also pressuring QBs to take pressure off of the secondary, then the Bears could actually have a dominant defense again.
Here's to the start of a new year...we all hope our teams can kick some ass! [beer]
I hope Michael Vick gets attacked by a Pitbull.
I am a lifelong Colt's fan. let's see if they can't screw it up like they did last year in the super bowl.
I've watched the Super Bowl a couple of times since it aired live and I wouldn't say that the Colts screwed up but that the Saints played a great game. I wouldn't be surprised if they rematched this year.

I've bet I've watched this year's Rose Bowl at lesat 5 times in its entirety and probably 3 more from just catching parts of it.
I've probably seen the Buckeyes/Canes NC game at least as much.
I love me some football.
some would call your OSU issue an obsession :)

[laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
(Mother - That is a true story too. I can post a picture if you want)
There is a boys football thread already, just sayin. ;)
I am interested to see how that high priced QB will play.
His name slips my mind, but isn't he getting like 15mil for his first year?
I personally think that is a waste.
Also........I disagree about Brady Quinn; I think he sucks. However, I'll take his salary for holding a clipboard and wearing a headset!
Sam Bradford?
PACKERS!!!
I just wanna see Aaron Rodgers and the Pack take the Vikes behind the woodshed.
Bradford and Sugh better enjoy it because they're the last rookies to get big contracts. It makes absolutely no sense to me that these guys are making more than Brees and Manning. The NFL is so messed up. Enjoy this year guys because they'll be a lock-out next year. I think it sucks but it will end up making the NFL better long-term.

I am a Seahawks fan! Wallace never really got to be used as Holmgren wanted because Charlie Frye wasn't ready to be the #2 guy behind Hasselback. Then Holmgren's exodus to Cleveland, followed by Wallace -- maybe?
Seneca Wallace delivered in the preseason game against Green Bay tonight. He had 3 series and made 2 TD passes. His QB rating was 120. BUT it's just preseason and he's playing for cleveland, so there's plenty of time for him to blow it.
Sorry Tebow, you look like you could to do well in the NFL...too bad you got drafted by the Browns.
Quote from: He Man on August 15, 2010, 05:07:12 PM

Tebow plays for the Broncos.
Sorry, I was thinking of Quinn when I was typing that. I dont see why they took Quinn when they paid Tebow so much money. its not like Quinn has tons of experience as an NFL starter.
The Browns have made a habit of drafting a top QB, hyping him as the next franchise QB (which they have not had since 1985-1993) and then watching them wash up. Tim Couch was the same thing as Brady Quinn, and as Colt McCoy will be.
Browns STARTING QBs since 1999 -- Detmer, Couch, Pederson, Holcolm, Garcia, Dilfer, Frye, Anderson, Quinn, Delhomme. (they also had Wynn, McCown, Dorsey, Gradkowski start due to injuries).
The Browns looked pretty good against the Packers 1st string but mainly on Offense.
The Browns did win the game 27-24.
The Brown's Offensive line looks better.
Delhomme looked sharp, Wallace looked real good at QB for Cleveland.
McCoy didn't do too well in the throwing dept. , he was blitzed a lot although he did pickup 2-3rd downs w, 2-15 yrd. scrambles.
He went out of the game after he hurt his hand when he hit a players Helmet as he released the ball.
Robiskie dropped a couple of passes he should have caught early but then made just a spectacular corner of the end zone catch getting both feet down as he went out on his head.
Bruce on " All Bets Are Off " said that Mike Holmgren, the Brown's new President, always likes to draft a QB each year.
If nothing else McCoy will be good to trade in the future for some needed players .

Well, Seattle does have a history of pro athletes leaving here and going on to be very good players elsewhere. Cleveland may be in luck this time! [laugh] :D
IF Seattle could have gotten a really solid third string QB and allowed Wallace to play more options, they would have never let him go. Holmgren had big plans for that guy.
I went to school w/ Charlie Frye at U of Akron and hoped he might be that backup QB the seahawks needed. No such luck.
Undrafted rookie from U-Mass
Victor Cruz. looks like hes going to be a SOLID receiver. I wonder if the giants are going to sign him. guys got some serious hands and awareness.
I noticed the Jets had a rookie left guard from U-Mass, a huge guy who was a tackle in college.

No kidding. Drama queen.
Jacobs totally sliced Manning. ITs black on white crime!!!!!!
"Hard Knocks" has been good so far.
Watched some preseason 49ers vs Minnesota Favres. Best part: watching Favre get sacked. Favre reaction shots may have had as much air time as the actual game. Jeez am I tired of that dude.
Predictions:
Brady gets his groove back this year - Pats beat Denver in AFC matchup and win it all against Arizona. This is after Lienart loses the starting job to rookie Max Hall.
Raiders come oh so close to .500. Al Davis continues to morph into Montgomery Burns.
Ravens make the playoffs.
Cowboys lose playoff berth due to Romo hang nail issue aquired during Cabo boating incident with a Cardashian, maybe two Cardashians.
SF makes the playoffs.
Terrell Owens - sorry, couldn't type I was laughing too much. Then I dropped my keyboard.
Ocho Cinco wins Inaugural Twitter Tweet of the Year award.
Minnesota loses to Packers and Bears at each matchup, despite Chicago using 4th string quarterback, punter Kickya Bootee.
Jets can't handle running game of Baltimore, lose first round of AFC playoffs.
Favre throws for more interceptions than touchdowns on the year. When training camp looms in 2012, says he is on the fence for the new season. Then he falls off the fence and is run over in a freak John Deere accident. Severely injured, he retires from football. A tearful John Madden lobbies the NFL to make him a Hall of Fame candidate after only 6 months of retirement. Request denied, while rushing to Favre's side, Madden is killed when a plane flies into his bus. Several deep fried turduckens and some grilled tri-tip in a light Mesquite sauce are recovered from the scene. Favre then comes back to sign with Cleveland in 2013 and leads them to .500. He wins the Blanda award, but no one is really sure what that is, just that it's old.

"To take the dominance of No. 4 even further, it is hard to think of any athlete that has punished any professional team in Chicago like Favre did."

Tebow looked strong Sunday night while they stomped the shit out of Pittsburgh.
I was never convince that Tebow's playing would translate very well to the NFL. I'm still on the fence considering that he really hasn't faced a real #1 defense.
To me, Tebow is a hard one to figure out. He's definitely a baller and a great leader but he just didn't throw it that much in college. I think that he has tremendous upside and if he works hard (we know he will) I think he can become a really good NFL QB. He's got to be better than Leinart, Russel, etc.

He threw it plenty in college. That's why we know that he's historically an inaccurate passer with a low and slow delivery. By inaccurate, I mean that seldom was the ball delivered into tight coverage or where a reciever could take it in stride in Tebow's college career. I can understand making a project out of the guy. I'm just not sure why one burns a 1st round pick on a project.
Oh well, if he fails, maybe we get to see him cry like he did against Bama in the SEC championship game [evil]
he can't be worse than Russel. Leinart is a good QB. Look at his stats from this past weekend's game. 9 for 10 with a passer rating of 135? His issue is his arm strength. The cardinals want a QB that can through it up for Fitzgerald. I would put Leinart to run a west coast offense where the deep ball is not as important.
Tebow was pretty much a running back that could occasionally through the ball. What made him such a good QB in college and will most likely kill him in the NFL was that the linebackers could just not fall back into coverage and when they did, he would simply run the ball. Beyond the fact that if he runs in the NFL, they will remove his head, the secondary is much better and the linebackers are much faster. If he studies the game as Peyton and becomes a cerebral QB, then he might do well.

it also shows that he attempted far less passes than Peyton and what it doesn't show is how many times he would run vs. pass. 99% of the time Peyton would throw it if he went back to pass.

Gomer can't run, that's why he threw more in college. :D
Timmy played well tonight (even though the Vikes kicked their ass). I think he was 12-16 for 165yds.
Bradford had another decent outing as well.
I think that's the only downside of Bradford is his injury history. Tebow will probably make an excellent backup.

Not the best opening day game, but congrats to the Saints.
Both teams looked beatable. Neither team looked like they had a killer instinct. I'm so desperate for hockey season to start that I'm watching the Vikes/Saints. FML
I just realized that my only Raiders jersey is a Russell number. Woops. I think it's time to replace it.

Who Dat got beat by the Falcons....who have a strong team this year, by the way.
Saints bleaux. Rise up
On one hand, I regret even for a moment forgetting the Browns are the Browns and thinking they could do anything worthwhile. On the other hand, they're 3-0 against the spread so far this year. [laugh]
Jets/Dolphins What a game. [clap]
make the beast with two backs you Janikowski!!
I have to agree with Kopfjager, even though the Dolphins lost to the Jets it was a good game and the Jets won because of us not the other way around.
It was a good game when it was 21/20.
C'mon Clark, you gotta make that catch. [popcorn]
Hester....you are the man. [clap] [bow_down]

Sweet, the Panthers didn't lose this week. [thumbsup]
Favre is "still" the man. [thumbsup]
Hell of a Sunday night game. As much as I hate to see Gomer win, congrats to the Colts.......but if I was in the NFC East I would be shaking. The Skins played the run and gun game with undoubtedly the best team at that style of play in the game, play for play, and 3-4 more inches on that last pass by Donovan it would have been a different story.
I still don't understand why the Eagles traded Donovan.

Watching Kolb this week and Vick a couple weeks ago, I see why.
He's still great, but if you have the chance to go for a younger team and free up some cash for new acquisitions, you may as well. Now, trading him within the division? That was pretty dumb.
I should have finished that sentence. Never trade with a team within your division.
Who Dat, got beat by the Cleveland Browns. :D
What a game tonite. The old man was hurting, but he never gave in. Congrats to the Packers.

No such luck. The Cowgirls will always let you down when you really need them to win. I don't see them winning more than 6 games this year.

6 games? You're too generous. I'm a big Cowboys fan, but I'm not that optimistic. Sheesh, the Raiders even look better than the boys this year. [roll]
I give them the chance to break even since you never know if the backup will come in and win them the last 4 games. It will take them a while to get usedto not having Romo, but they do have talent. They need to run the ball and the defense needs to wake up.
Speaking of backups, my boy Troy Smith will be starting for the 49rs this Sunday. Excited to see what he can do. Also, Ginn is there so I'm guessing we see him on the field more than usuall.
So, will Favre play Sunday, or won't he? And on the off chance that he doesn't, will kopfjager go into mourning? ;)

That would be hilarious, but I am guessing Rams or Chiefs.
Seattle?
He's in waivers, so the Patriots would have the last claim. Any team can claim his contract, but if 2 teams do, then it goes to the team with the worse record.
The order is Bills, Panthers, Cowboys. If they don't go for him, then the Patriots can make a move.
I thought NE got a chance to get him last because they have the best record.
That's what I understood.

As long as he doesn't bad mouth their caterer. :D
He went to the Titans.
Once again, Favre is the man. Career high 446 yds. [clap]
He avoided the mob at least for 1 week.
Big Ups to the Brownies for spanking the Patriots. Now on to the Jets. Sure wish they could have won two of the three games earlier this year that they had the lead in the 4th qtr. Would be in the playoff hunt now.
Woof Woof!
Can one man transform the way the game is played?
Michael Vick can. What an awesome performance.
Passed for 333
Rushed for 80
Threw 4 TD
Rushed for 2
Several NFL records were broken
Can't believe they scored so many points (trying not to spoil) in the first three quarters! Dan Snyder must be having a tantrum right now......love it!
From the NFL villian to the MVP.
Poor Gomer. Big win for the Pats.

I don't know man, they're 3-7 for a reason. The Raiders hung 59 on them...59! Their defense is pathetic...which makes San Diego look good.
Kyle Orton sucks. His numbers are decent this year, but put a little pressure on him and he's done. He sucked it up in Chicago as well...although he is defintely playing better for Denver.
The AFC West sucks in general. :D The Chargers were 4 and 5 coming into that game.
Orton may not be great, but he is rated higher than a lot of big names.

game of the year coming up on monday night..
So anyone have thoughts on Andre Johnson not getting suspended? If that happens in game one he gets at least a game suspension. To me the "competitive advantage" theory is bullshit. The only reason he didn't get suspended is because he was going to be on the NFL network's Thursday game.
The NFL needs to get their shit together. The owners are delusional. The league keeps handing out fines to "keep the players safe" but wants to add two games. Tell that doesn't mean more hurt players.
They think they are too big to fail but a lockout will hurt them. Just ask the baseball owners.
Andre didn't get suspended because he's a thug from the "U". They be afraid of him.
Never thought of that Carlos, you're probably right!
Weird thing is, he's not a bad guy. I would say he and Roddy White are the least "diva" out of all the good WR's.
It just doesn't make sense to me that he can throw repeated blows to the back of the head (something he would DQ'd for in MMA/Boxing) and not get suspended. Yeah maybe Finnegan deserved it but oh well.
Here's to hoping Delhomme throws less than 3 picks this week.
Andre was considered humble when he played at the U. I guess Finnegan got under his skin somehow. He should have been suspended.
Finnegan has been fined 3 or 4 times already. He apparently doesn't care and should be suspended. I just find the arbitrary fine amounts absurd. Beating the crap out of each other apparently isn't as bad as wearing sparkly shoes in the NFL's eyes.

I think we all knew he was an exceptional athlete. He is now learning how to be a QB. If he truly studies the game, then I will definitely believe the hype. If he falls back to where he was in ATL, then this too will pass.
As much as I dislike Dallas, I enjoy seeing Gomer lose more. :D
So many quality teams in the NFL this year:
Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Falcons, Saints, Chiefs, Bears, Giants, Eagles, Packers, Patriots, Bucks......... Did I leave anyone out?
In my opinion, none of these teams have separated themselves from the rest of the lead pack.

+1. Also, the Jets seem to get away with more crap than any other team. As proof, in this game alone:
1) Fair catch interference was NOT called despite the Jets' gunner running into the Fin's return man prior to the arrival of the ball.
2) Edwards basically tried to pull down the Dolphin's DB from behind to prevent him from making the INT- no call.
3) The pathetic makesthebeastwithtwobacksing Jets staffer who intentionally stuck his knee out to trip the Dolphin's gunner on a punt late in the game. - no call. That guy should be fired and the Jets need to be fined. That type of sh*t doesn't have a place in the NFL. He could have caused catastrophic injury with that dirty shot.
^^^ Yeah, not sure what the zebras were looking at on those plays. On that note, for the last two games the Steelers played, it seemed as if the opposing team could get away with whatever.

Cutler's helmet to the chin no-call. The bogus PI call that led to the Vikings second touchdown. The crap holding call on Kreutz that tool away a Bears touchdown.
Oh well...40-14 isn't bad. ;D Hopefully the good Cutler shows up at playoff time.

Ha, Yeah that was a weird game. The rookie looked good. Not just Mikes fault on that loss, their line could do nothing against those blitzes at all, he was running for his life, not to mention the pics.
Terrible game from Vick...he should have been picked off 3 more times if the Vikings DBs had any hands. Oh well though, it's just one game and I'm sure he'll bounce back in the playoffs. Hell, even Brees has 21 or 22 INTs this year.
Good showing by Webb [thumbsup] ...Bears fans would like to thank the Vikes for finally stepping up and winning a game...just in time to give the Bears a 1st round bye! ;D ;D
I'm really looking forward to the playoffs this year. Seems like no team really is that much better like in recent years.
Bears, Saint, Falcons, and Eagles all have a shot at making it in the NFC.

Good point. ;)
Bottom line for me is when I look at my pay-stub I see no money from any of the NFL teams. :D I do think
this is gonna be a great weekend of ball. [thumbsup]
Looks like Seattle didn't get the memo. [popcorn]
I live near the Quest field and can hear the cannon boom with every score. More noise then I thought I would hear today [thumbsup]
Wow, what a make the beast with two backsing run by Lynch. [clap] [popcorn]
Congratulation's to the Seahawks. [clap] I don't think anyone saw that coming. Great football game.
I'm 0-1
I thought I knew a little bit about pro football.
Unbelievable win by the Seahawks.
0/1 for me

2011 NFL Playoffs: Saints vs Seahawks Marshawn Lynch 's long run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAN-kfMmk1I#normal)
Another exciting game. [clap] Damnit Gomer know I gotta listen to Rex for another week. :D
I'm 0-2 good thing I don't bet on games. ;)
Well the Chiefs looked pretty solid in the first half, then they got stomped like a narc at a biker rally.
I'm 0-3
Congrats to the Packers. [clap]
I went 0-4 this weekend. [roll]
I went a very humble 2/4, and looking ahead to next week's games, I'm not sure about my picks.
Bears should beat the Seahawks. ???
Jets could beat the Pats if they can run the ball and keep Brady on the sidelines.
Packers are looking good, but are they good enough to beat a rested Atlanta team at home?
Raven v. Steelers? Flip a coin.
2/4 for me. Some pretty good games to watch for the most part.
mitt
Next week I'm gonna say Bears, Packers, New England, and either the Steelers or Ravens. [laugh]
The Bears are gonna have a tough NFC Championship game no matter what happens...but I gotta hope for the Packers so it's at least a home game. Plus, Bears-Packers for the NFC Championship would just be cool. [thumbsup]
First they gotta beat the Seahawks though...they should easily, but my fingers are crossed.
Go Bears!!

2.) Pats over Rex's mouth
3.) Packers over Falcons

Yeah, I heard Fat Boy's comments. Bill said, he is probably a little quicker, and Rex is bigger and stronger, but neither one of them will be taking any snaps. :D
I just don't want to see the Pats play the Ravens.
Bears

I hope the Jets win because I hate Belichick more, but I just don't see it happening. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Ravens over the Steelers, but Pittsburg just has a way of getting it done.

I'm gonna call this one early. Damn the Packers were stout. [clap]

I can't remember a better playoff performance by a quarterback than Aaron Rogers had tonight. Oh yeah, and their defense ain't too bad either.
I say the Pack attack makes it to the big dance over either the Bears or the Birds.

Green Bay looks like the new favorite on the NFC side.

What the make the beast with two backs was all the cheering during the National Anthem in the Chicago vs Seattle game? You're not even supposed to clap after it. I'm so pissed right now it's not even funny.

I wondered too, so I looked it up.
The guy singing was (is?) an announcer for the Blackhawks and at their games it's been a controversial tradition to cheer and applaud during the anthem to make the fans presence known. :P
I don't give a make the beast with two backs about a bad tradition. They come off as drunken ignorant fans not to mention disrespectful.

I viewed it to be in bad taste as well.
It's funny because I still want Chicago to win so that GB ha a harder game. I want whomever the AFC sends to the Superbowl to meet a very beat up NFC team.
They have always done that in Chicago, nothing new. Oh and they are kicking some Seahawk ass right now.

I'm 3-1 and glad. Glad to see the Pats fall.
Next week.

An amazing turn-around for the Jets. [clap]
Another humble 2/2 weekend for me. ???
Next week:
Packers

A Bears-Packers NFC title game should be fantastic. [thumbsup] Those games are almost always good even whem one of the teams suck.
As a long time Bears fan, the Pack worries me...but I think (or hope) they can pull it off.
I was also glad to see the Pats lose. Not because I don't like them, but because I didn't want the Bears to have to face them in the SB. I think the Bears can beat the Steelers or the Jets...although both would be tough.
I'm gonna say Bears - Steelers in the Superbowl. Bears win, 24-17 ;D

Well unless you were alive in 1941 you've never seen it.

Next week:
Jets, if Rex Ryan can find someone for his team to hate ("When I was in Pittsburgh in '83, the hotdog man didn't give me exact change. It's personal")
GB looks like they can just about destroy anyone, so I'm going with them.

Bears - Packers There will be blood [bang] [bang]
Might be the best game of the year and it certainly will be the hardest played.
Playing at home in Soldiers Field will be a big advantage for the home team.
Hester, Pepper, and Urlacher will play big and if Cutler keeps the mistakes to a minimum, dah Bears move on.
The Pack shall reign supreme......

Bears defense played well...didn't look good early, but holding GB offense to 14 is good. Plus, they were out on the field A LOT.
Cutler sucked. I'm a Bears fan and I just can't get behind that asshat...and I've tried. Sure, his O-line was lacking in the 1st half...but it looked to me like he quit on the team. Pulled himself out...no knee brace, no ice pack, sulking on the bench then later walking on the sideline. Seems to me if you can walk then you can play in the friggin' NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! WTF. Hell, Favre played with a broken ankle! It'll be interesting to see what his injury is...
Congrats to the Pack. I still hate them though.
GO PACK GO!!!!! [thumbsup]
The Steelers really didn't get much pub during the post season. All the talk seemed to be about the Colts, Patriots, and Jets. Good job Steelers!
That being said, I'll still go with the Pack attack for the big game.
Congrats to the Steelers. Good game. [clap]

Speaking of..did you all notice Christina's less-than-stellar performance?
I thought that it sounded strange. We'll that's because she left out a line.
Don't worry though..Deion Sanders has come to her defense with this little nugget..
Y'all leave Christina alone i was just informed that was the remix. The nfl was running behind so she was sweet enough to help us out.

The NFL was behind so she shortened the Star Spangled Banner, eh?! [roll]
Boring from DFW, TX! This is why I always go for rides when the Cowboys play and the weather is nice. Takes a bunch of yahoos off the road. Is it just me or was that the worst half time show ever?
