So, kind of like it is now, huh? :icon_wink:

I think this wide-open season is fun. There are still a lot of teams in the hunt, with some separating from the rest of the pack. This time of year is always interesting, trying to imagine who the champ will be -- the Pats or Saints again? The Eagles finally? The Rams? (okay, just joking...I'm just mad b/c right now they'd keep the Packers out, even with only a .500 record). :icon_razz:

I don't see things moving too much. The Jets, Pats, Steelers, and Falcons can all clinch spots this weekend. One thing's for sure, there are going to be some great match-ups in the next few weeks - Giants/Eagles, Eagles/Cowboys, Pack/Bears, Saints/Ravens....

The Falcons have the easiest schedule remaining w/two games vs. the Panthers. Everyone else has some tough games coming up.

Here's hoping the Pats, Vikes, and Jets all beat up on the Bears. :twak:

[feedthemachine]

I hope the pats win out ,get home field and then lose their first game:icon_lol:
Tonights game should be interesting.....the colts need it bad....i need Tamme to go nuts too

Last nights game went as expected......but Indy giving up a 21 point lead is not going to work in the playoffs...if they even make it...which i doubt

I generally just stick to watching the Steelers, but I have a bad feeling about all the injuries. I don't think we're gonna go far though because the league has obviously painted a target on Pittsburgh. Last week they let the ex-Brownies get away with too much IMO. I'm looking forward to a rematch in Pittsburgh for some payback. We just have toughen up against the Bungles and the junior Brownies first.

I agree with the obvious "no calls" total BS,Ben probably deserved that broken nose though:icon_lol:...i thought Miller was paralyzed :sad: Brutal hit....big deal ,he got fined,didn't help in the game....Harrison will probably get fined for something he said this week.....The O line is in bad shape for sure,but i think the D will ride em through the playoffs...As long as we don't play dink and dunk Brady ....Hopefully a WC can knock them out and the Steelers can host the Championship game......we'll see,a lot of football left ,thats for sure...3 game home stand coming up,,,should help

Of course! And the Lions will be dominating the field with at least TWO wins next year!

They are definitely one of the up swing teams......

Lucky. WE get to watch the Lions get slaughtered by Green Bay instead. I've got 2 fantasy guys playing in the Cinci Pitt game too! Watching the NE vs. Chicago game should make up for it though.

Whoa! When it really opens up it looks like some of the waterfall actually gets sucked back up in the airstream.

Amazingly, the Lions defense dominated a game. Glad I turned the game on :icon_razz:

This game in Chicago is awesome! I love when the guys are out there is the snowstorms.

Incorrect. There was no "game" going on there. The Bears are brutal. Pretenders. Patriots are the real deal son. At least the Dolphins game was close, although the Jets blow goats.

[Electriclime]

At least there was some action, albeit one-sided, in the Pats game. I almost fell asleep watching the other games. :icon_razz:

Tonight's game could be good. If Dallas shows up like they have been lately, it could make for an enjoyable game to watch.

The Pats game was entertaining. Always enjoy watching Brady. Their D stepped up...AGAIN.

For me having Rodgers go down with another concussion is pretty much ending my fantasy football dominance. It eliminates 2 of my best players. Rodgers and Jennings. Oh well. You never know. Not sure when playoffs start, but that is another thing that ruins FF. Teams rest players after 1 quarter or a half. It's just not right.

[CTDon]

Die hard jets fan here, as you know...but you see that 'tripping' on the sideline?

I don't know what the player was doing that far out of bounds, and it looked like there was BARELY any contact, but that was a classless move by the coach. He deserved to have his knee blown out by the momentum of the player.

I've seen all reactions calling the whole organization classless thugs, which is unfortunate. That guys deserves to be fired for intentionally trying to hurt someone.

[Hockeyfan]

Yeah, that was beyond bad. You are an assistant! You don't matter. Stay out of the play and don't trip a player you moron. It's not allowed for other players and certainly not by an assistant on the sideline. He's going to be made an example of and face a nice fine. Have fun with that. If he keeps his job he's lucky. That said, I laughed in astonishment when I saw it yesterday. Lol. F'in Jets.

[feedthemachine]

All i know is,if i'm an opposing player and there is a sidline play,guess who i'm looking to run right over.........no class at all

[One-Third]

Totally uncalled for - especially given that on another similar punt the refs threw a flag for the guy being so far out of bounds and running down out of bounds!

Can't wait to see the Jets sweat out trying to make the playoffs...

Course my enthusiasm will dampen once the Ravens or someone knocks off the Pats in the playoffs.

LOL, no problem, my buddy who is a Giants fan has called me the past two years on February 3rd and doesn't even say hello... just repeats, "David Tyree" in a haunting voice...

And what other fan base could you use "18-1" as a jab? Being a Pats fan is awesome. :icon_lol: And really, this team is looking better than that 18-1 team.

As a longtime fan who was around for SBXX, knocking off the Bears in such a decisive fashion was particularly satisfying.

Us Steeler fans have it OK if you ask me:icon_wink: 2 SB's in the past 5 years ,i'll take it.....Even though i was born in '74 ,i sure as heck don't remember The glory days of steeler football,but living thru the 80's with guys like Malone and Bubby,and Neil, then losing to Dallas in SB XXX,its been good to be a fan of Pittsburgh too.....of course i hate the pats though....Bens rookie year they went 15-1 and lost the AFC championship at home to the pats....all in all ,its been a good season.................. so far

[Kwak]

You tell 'em, man.

I don't think Steelers would have a chance against the Patsies this year either though. :icon_redface:

Just look at GB and my fantasy QB. He may have got me 1 point. LOL.

[feedthemachine]

Second one this year....Uh Oh....he may be done:icon_razz:
Better go pick up Garrard again:icon_lol:
It was his fault though.....should have slid 3 or 4 yards earlier

[North Country Dad]

Just look at GB and my fantasy QB. He may have got me 1 point. LOL.

Expected. Cutler, on the other hand, played the whole game and only got me 0.18 :icon_mad:

Yeah, with so many other injuries this year for GB, Rodgers' absence made the whole thing clear for anyone who didn't already see it: he's been carrying that team. No run game whatsoever. 66 yards and 25 of those were from Rodgers. Doesn't look good with the Saints and Giants still playing well. GB's only best hope is that the Bears falter.

What's that? GB visits Foxboro next week? That's scary.

They are a perennial late season team. Love me some Phillip Rivers. GO CHARGERS. I've been a Chargers fan since Rivers went there. After the Panthers, they are my team.

[feedthemachine]

Tell you what,i don't want to see them come to Pittsburgh......I think if them and the Jags get in,there could be some upsets(kinda like when i take you down in FF:icon_razz::icon_wink:)

[Hockeyfan]

That won't be an upset. In the last 2 weeks anything can happen. People are sat after a quarter of play. Teams that have clinched will lose and not care less. If you have a pick league, go with the Dog. You'll be better than 50% for sure.

Also for my team my starting QB is out and his receiver will now do squat. That's not an upset. Just bad luck on my behalf.

[silviomossa]

Tell you what,i don't want to see them come to Pittsburgh......

Pats fans will take the choking Chargers any day. The Ravens are most feared, followed closely by the Steelers.

Still, the Chargers could win out (easily against SF, CIN, BUF) and still not get in. The Chiefs also face sub-.500 opponents too, and if Cassel is back, they'll be favored all the way.

[feedthemachine]

I don't think anybody wants to play the Pats right now....i just hope Pittsburgh locks down the #2 ,and some team can go into New England and knock em out:icon_razz:

They should win this easily. Panthers blow. They don't have Troy going though. They had better hope he gets healthy or they are finished.

[Mark B.]

JUst got into NY last night and and during my traditional first morning trip to the Deli for egg sandwiches I see the shitstorm heading the NY Jets way on the cover of the NY Post And NY Daily News. Just google either Rex Ryan or Sex Ryan. Holy crap.

I think they're giving a chance to get healthy in time for the playoffs. The bigger question is the offensive line.

Kind of been getting better though...Mendy ran for 100 last week,and if Bruce would have kept feeding him they would have won that game......and why the heck would they run Moore out of the end zone ,Mendy or Redman gets through

[Kwak]

The Browns failed to upset the Ravens like they did the Patriots and Saints. The Steelers are gonna have to teach 'em a lesson next week - and get the bye for the playoffs.

[feedthemachine]

Couldn't agree more...hoping the brownies just packed it in after that game...they have nothing left to prove,but somehow i have this sick feeling inside they are going to come out swinging ....Steelers returns teams better be on their toes,Cribbs almost broke a couple

[North Country Dad]

Go Pack Go. Beat the Bears next week and they're in!

[DarthDaddy]

Packers... They will blow it!

GO BEARS!

[feedthemachine]

If the Falcons win tonight they get home field ,could be tough for the bears or packers to go in there and win

[DarthDaddy]

Saints beat the Falcons...

If the Falcons lose to the Panthers next week. (HaHaHa) then they could lose that home field.

GO BEARS!!!

[Hockeyfan]

They should have won. That turnover at the 1 yard line on 2nd down was sad.

[Kwak]

The Steelers beat up on the Browns pretty bad today and locked in the #2 seed for the AFC. That means a first week bye. I'm still trying to understand who they'll be playing the next week though. Hopefully it won't be New England.

[DarthDaddy]

Seattle gets into the playoffs with a LOSING RECORD! First team to make it with a sub .500 record. (3 teams made it at 8-8)

Last nights game Seahawks/Rams was their playoff game. New Orleans with a 11-5 record has to go to Seattle for their Wildcard Game!

There have been times when better teams were left out of the playoffs, but this is the oddest! New York Giants and Tampa Bay Bucs both have a 10-6 record and are staying home...

Just another year in the NFL!
:dumb:

[One-Third]

Steelers wouldn't face the Pats until the Championship game. Pats as #1 seed get the highest seed remaining after the first week of playoff games.

Per Darth's comment, I can't fricking believe that the Seahawks make the playoffs at 7-9... sucks to be a Giants or Bucs fan looking at Seattle not only making the playoffs, but hosting a playoff game!

[Mark B.]

Jets have a very tough game coming up against the Colts. If they pull it off it will be that much sweeter I guess.

[North Country Dad]

I don't have a problem with the Seabirds getting in. They topped their division, which is all they need to do. No one's had a losing record, but there have been bad teams making the playoffs before.

The Pack won't make it very far without a ground game -- I'm surprised and happy they made it at all. Hopefully they can take advantage of a sputtering Eagles team next week and then do well in Atlanta, figuring the Saints will beat Seattle and go to Chicago. I don't see them beating the Falcons, but hope they keep it close.

Playoffs, baby. Love it.

[silviomossa]

Seattle gets into the playoffs with a LOSING RECORD!

It's also an interesting quirk that the only team to go 6-0 in their division, the Raiders, did not get in. Or even have a winning record.

[DarthDaddy]

I don't have a problem so much with the losing record since it is extremely rare. What I find a little tough is that four teams that have better records have away games.

Packers have the same record as the Eagles, yet they beat them in the regular season

New Orleans has a better record than Seattle

NY Jets at Indy

Ravens at KC...

Granted this entire year is an odd year and rare. It may be more important as the league continues to have more parity.

Heres to the Playoffs!!!
:chugchug:

[Kwak]

That's because the NFC is irrelevant.

Actually, the whole league is pretty just useless. Just give the trophy to the Pats. :tusk:

FRIGGEN BUMP!!

Best part was I was at a party with a bunch of Manning fans. Only guy rooting for the J-E-T-S! They were not even INDY fans. The guy gets way too much credit for Indy's success IMO. Be sure to request a wake up call Indianapolis for the car race.

[Hockeyfan]

not the guy you want to see lining up a game winning fg.

You were saying.......

:icon_wink:

[silviomossa]

The guy gets way too much credit for Indy's success IMO.

He's earned it. And he was much sharper than the other QB tonight. Their D let the team down, along with less than 100 yards rushing. And oh, when Manning was on the sidelines upset that the Colts called an unnecessary TO which allowed their young QB to confer instead of having to improvise, thus resulting in 15 more yards? He was right.

I didn't see much of the other game, but that 67 yard run was amazing. The Keystone Cops on the NO defense.

[Hockeyfan]

He's earned it. And he was much sharper than the other QB tonight.

No. Not really. They both sucked. Manning was horrible. At least he didn't throw any picks.

Manning is nothing without Dungy. He was the puppetmaster.

[Mark B.]

Their D let the team down, along with less than 100 yards rushing.

That is my point, when they win it is all Peyton, when they lose it is somebody else's fault. Indy is a fine team.

I would love to see what Manning would be like if he did not play in a vacuum for most of his games like Brady.

[feedthemachine]

I would have liked to see him in in Pittsburgh next week,now i have to hope the Chiefs can pull off a small miracle ,or its the ravens,for a 3rd time...
Peyton is awesome in the "regular season" ,... nuff said!
I think the colts D was pretty good ,considering they only gave up 17 points......where was this 30+ point offensive ?

[silviomossa]

That is my point, when they win it is all Peyton, when they lose it is somebody else's fault. Indy is a fine team.

Well, *I* don't say that. I can't speak for others. He was 18/26 with one TD and no picks. Those numbers aren't great, but they weren't the problem either.

[Hockeyfan]

Well, *I* don't say that. I can't speak for others. He was 18/26 with one TD and no picks. Those numbers aren't great, but they weren't the problem either.

They sure aren't going to get the job done either. Certainly not befitting of an elite calibre QB. Lol

[feedthemachine]

So,does anybody see the Jets beating the Pats?
I just hope the Steelers can come out of this weekend healthy,and with a win of course:icon_wink:

[CTDon]

Did anyone see them beating Pittsburg a few weeks back? Or Indy last week?

I think they can do it if they are firing on all cylinders, which obviously they haven't been doing this year. Possible? Yes. Probable? Hmmmmmm, although it's been THAT kind of season for them.

Agree. They also made Chicago sweat a bit recently also. Road games too. I think Sanchez threw better in the bitter cold against Chicago than he did last week. Hope he can do the same next week. There will be no shame in losing to the Pats right now. I just hope that they do not play the way they did the last time they played them.

[Hockeyfan]

Sure. The Jets can beat them. Any given Sunday right. Well in reality the Patriots are about twice as good as the Jets. I want the Jets to win so I win, but the chances aren't too good. The Patriots are just that much better. I don't care that the Jets beat a crappy Indy team. Big whoop.

Wow. I'm pretty neutral on both teams, and am just trying to enjoy watching the Bellicheck/Brady era, one of the most impressive of all time.

Another insight: Brady might be great b/c of Bellicheck, but every great QB has had a great coach. Staubach/Landry, Montana/Walsh, Marino/Shula...

[One-Third]

Jets-Pats should be a pretty good game, I don't expect the Jets to be as flat as they were last time. Hoping for a NE win, but would not be shocked if Jets move on. Ryan strikes me as a good post-season coach.

Read an interesting stat that 37 of 53 players on Pats roster have not won a playoff game.

Anyway, looking forward to all the games this weekend, including the Ravens-Steelers, should be a good one.

[feedthemachine]

Love the 2nd Lynch video with the sound effects. Ah, the memories.

Interesting comparison on sports radio this morning:

NE
Brady, 6th round
Welker, undrafted
Green-Ellis, undrafted
Woodhead, undrafted

NYJ
Sanchez, 1st round
Edwards, 1st round
Holmes, 1st round
Revis, 1st round

LOL, no worries, good luck on Sat. I was hoping the Steelers/Ravens would be the 8 pm game, since the wife is working all day Saturday, I'll miss the first half with bed time and bath ritual for the little guy, although I can always DVR the game.

One day without the ritual will be okay. Enjoy the game. He'll get through it. Be better for it too.

[feedthemachine]

yeah,no doubt..put him on your lap and subject him to a good game

[North Country Dad]

My wife was actually surprised to find out that I'm choosing the Packers game over a jazz concert Saturday night. I could record it, but it wouldn't be the same.

[feedthemachine]

i agree,its not the same,but it is fun to zip through the commercials.....
on the other hand ,you don't want to be out and have somebody ruin it by talking about the game...
this is almost as much fun as waiting for christmas morning ,well,maybe more:crazy:

[mogwai dad]

One day without the ritual will be okay. Enjoy the game. He'll get through it. Be better for it too.

I agree. Special occasions call for a break in ritual. I loved watching games with my dad, particularly ones I was able to stay up later to see. Built up my vocabulary also. :eusa_whistle:

Wait. How old is your little guy again? It might be easier to maybe shorten the ritual and move it up a little earlier.

[mogwai dad]

My wife was actually surprised to find out that I'm choosing the Packers game over a jazz concert Saturday night. I could record it, but it wouldn't be the same.

It most definitely would not be the same. Playoff football is better to watch in real time and I think it takes a little bit away from the excitement by watching a recording. I actually DVR games I am watching in case daddy duties interrupt and also because I am a geek that will go back and re-watch a game to focus on other areas that I don't while watching the game live.

Of course I have re-watched last weeks game yet. It was painful enough watching it in the bitter cold. :icon_mad: I'm not ready to put myself through that again yet.

[One-Third]

Wait. How old is your little guy again? It might be easier to maybe shorten the ritual and move it up a little earlier.

He's 8 months old, bed time ritual starts around 5:15 pm and lasts about 45 minutes - so "we" will watch the first quarter, which really means he will bang around his toys and crawl around the living room, while I catch glances of the Ravens going up 14-0, while trying to keep him from terrorizing the dogs or pulling on electrical cords. (LOL, just kidding about that score, could be only 10-0, :icon_razz:)

Last week was the same deal since wife was also out all day Saturday - so I had the Seahawks/Saints game on while we played, then after bed time I was able to catch the end of that game and all of the Colts-Jets (which by the way, seemed like one of the quickest NFL games ever...)

But I do wish the prime time game was the Steelers/Ravens, only cause I am an AFC kind of guy... not to say that the Atlanta-Pack game won't also be good. Heck, all the games should be good.

[CTDon]

Cant tell if the jets bench is on the left or the right there, but if it's on the right, then that video was taken from the section where my season tickets were in the old stadium. We were 4th row in the mezzanine, lookin' straight through those goalposts. Great seats, especially when the action was down on our end of the field.

Perfect location for our row too..the upper tier sheilded us from the rain..we were actually the first row that stayed dry from the cover. The first 3 got soaked, we were dry as a bone unless it was a driving rain in our direction.

It is amazing how one man can control this crowd. For those of you who have not been, this is is exactly how it sounds.

I like Green Bay. Actually don't mind Atlanta either. Hated them before, but I like Matt Ryan and kinda pulled for them after the Vick debacle. They are a rival of Carolina's though. I've always enjoyed watching GB. Even picked Rodgers in the draft for our league. He was my guy. I really like him as a QB. Would love him to be here with the Panthers.

So it was a good game for that. I like them to win without Favre. Plus I didn't watch the last quarter as it was in the bag. That was a plus too. I was tired. Been sick for a week. Beating me down. I'll be watching today though. These should be some good games. The Jets-Patriots game is going to be awesome. OH MY GOD. Can't wait. Steelers blow.

[757dad]

Rodgers looked unstoppable last night.

Bears look good so far, what a great atmosphere. As long as Culter doesn't do anything stupid ( as I am typing he just about threw an interception in the end zone).

[Hockeyfan]

Seattle needs a receiver to catch a flipping ball. Terrible.

[Hockeyfan]

Cuttler is making good decisions while running the ball. Funny dives though. He's been throwing it effective, but got lucky a number of times. A better team would have eaten his passes up today. I was hoping this game would be closer as it was the least interesting game of the weekend.

Can't wait for the J E T S game. Go Jets!

[Mark B.]

Hey NCD, ya got any stock tips for us?

J E T S....y'all know the rest.

Memo to Tom Brady, there is a new sheriff in town... Mark Sanchez, 4 playoff wins before the age of 24. More than Brady . Did I mention they are ALL on the road?

Rex Ryan "BOOTS" Patriots from the playoffs!!!!!!!!!

I can not believe that the Jets beating the Colts and Patriots ON THE ROAD back to back in the playoffs can't be worth 7-10 points in the minds of any NFL team left right now. I do not care what they say in public.

It's nice, but like Brady's record INT streak, it doesn't mean a thing without an SB. Sanchez still has aways to go in that category. He had a very good game, the secondary was even better, but they are the lesser of the four teams left, imo. Anything can happen, though.

[Patrickz]

Sometimes I think the bye week is a curse. Give me a 4th or lower seed and lookout.
Green bay looks real good and Da bears maybe left in the cold next week. As for the Jets and Steelers well who cares cause they will lose in the big dance anyway. Gonna be a great two games and lookforward to the Sunday fun next week.

[feedthemachine]

If you think about it ...the jets and steelers are very similar,neither try to be pretty ...going to be another slug fest and the Steelers love them kind of games.....and Ben doesn't fold like a lawn chair at an oncoming blitzer like Manning and Brady....both play great D with average Offense ...,but i'm betting on Ben:icon_wink:
Can't wait for this one:crazy:

[Hockeyfan]

Oh and player of the game........NC State's Jericho Cotchery.

Green Bay is the best team left with the other 3 about equal. I think Baltimore is the poorest if I had to pick. Jets on paper are pretty strong, but inconsistent. Beating the Pats and Colts is pretty tight. Great coaching. Brady is still the best and the Pats are the best team without question.

Going to be a fun week. Who wants to talk feet now? Oh and who wants Rodger's title belt? That was funny.

Sanchez is NO Brady yet. As for the no INT record, he exposed that a bit when he threw at the feet of other players repeatedly tonight. No guts No INT you might say. That last TD be Sanchez was special. Bradyish or even Peytonish you might say.

Any given Sunday. NE IS the best team. This coming from the Fantasy Football God. It was just 1 game. If it were a best of 3 or 5 I say NE wins 85% of the time. Probably 75% in a 1 game scenario. This was the 25%.

[North Country Dad]

So, Steelers-Packers? Jets-Bears? No matter what, it'll be a new and interesting match-up.

Looking back just now to 2001-2010: Pats=3 SBs, Steelers=2. Interesting to see who the dominant teams will be this decade, if any. This was such a bizzare season.

Jets have 2 words in their favor. Mo Jo. After the last 2 weeks what else can really scare them? Doesn't guarantee them a win admittedly but it sure takes the edge off home field advantage for the other team, even more so since you beaten them recently in their house.

Ugh. Well, gotta hand it to the Jets, well done. Now that my rooting interest is done, I might actually enjoy the conference championships!

[Kwak]

I almost feel sorry for the Pats fans. The Jets certainly gave them their payback. I only hope that the Steelers can do the same next week.

As for the NFC, I am not worried at all. If a team with a 7-9 record can make the playoffs then that whole conference is a joke IMO.

Watch the Bears win the Superbowl and prove me wrong though. That's OK. As long as they dedicate the win to former coach (and Pittsburgh native) Mike Ditka. I wouldn't mind eating that slice of Humble Pie.

Nice to see all of the Patriot garb wearing fans around here have gone into hiding. All I see now are the Steeler fans. Hope to knock them off next.

There is a guy I have seen in church, IN CHURCH, that wears a Brady jersey and and a Pat's hat. He does not even take it off while receiving communion! Shmuck! What are you 5 years old?

My wife told me that there were mostly Patriot fans at the Dave's and Buster's she was at here last night. Most "stormed out" right after the game. Probably a good thing I stayed home to watch. No way I could have kept my mouth shut.

I do think what the Jets have done this season is a great accomplishment. They had a pretty descent regular season and to me beating 2 of the top teams of the last 5 years in the Colts and Pats is pretty big. I think the Patriots are by far and away the best team in the league this season. Beating them in the playoffs was huge for Footjoy and the Jets. Beating the Colts was a bit of icing. Those are huge wins and winning is the only thing right? All I'm saying is that it isn't the SB. They have a ways to go. To say they haven't done great things is silly.

[CTDon]

REALLY? You REALLY don't think it's an accomplishment to go to both of those houses and beat those teams? wow. I'm not even saying that as a Jets fan, just a fan of the game.

Does it deserve the accolades of winning the SB? No, not at all. But is it an impressive turnaround from the 2nd pats game and miami game? I think so like I said, even if I wasn't a jets fan.

But I am, so it makes it better! :icon_lol:

As you well know. Each year the teams change with different personnel. It matters little what happened in the past.

Am I to believe that by your logic that when the Patriots went unbeaten, but failed to win the SB they had a bad season? Were they profitable to their owner? I think so? Did they put a shellacking on the other teams? Yes. Losing one game a bad team does not make.

If the Steelers didn't have recent success I know for a fact you wouldn't be talking any smack to that effect. Last I checked I didn't play in the NFL either. So it matters little how I feel. We are fans. If the Jets didn't accomplish anything I think they would be where my Panthers are with the #1 draft pick..... :icon_wink:

Let the record show that I am VERY well aware that it wasn't an @$$-f*%king at all. Hell, it came down to the last 2 plays of the game. I just wanted to use a term like that.

Yes, it's amazing that they overcame such adversity (of their own making). They're like Ghandi. But without the loincloth.

I want to root for the Jets, like I root for the G-men as a NY'er, but the attitudes and mouthiness just rub me the wrong way. Go Steelers (mostly because I don't want to have to listen to two more weeks of this woe-is-me, we-shall-overcome crap from the Jets).

Seriously, not taking anything away from their D -- shutting down Manning and Brady is definitely an accomplishment.

So it is official? You are predicting a Steeler win?! Please say yes!!

C'mon this is a stupid sports thread for us who can give the jib jab at the office.

Speaking of "mouthiness", I can not get the image of Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News sitting in front of his computer with writer's block.

[Hockeyfan]

It is funny... Early on no one gave the Bears any chance of a winning record let alone a win away from the superbowl!

Jay Culter many said sucks... (NOT ME BTW!) After so many sh*tty QB's to come through Chicago he can actually put up the numbers. First Bears QB to get back to back 3000+ yard season!

Yesterday... 15/28 274 2TD 0 INT 43 YRD Rushing 2 Rushing TDs 111. QB rating.

Second QB in NFL History to Throw for 2TD and Run for 2TD in a Playoff game.

Can't Wait for this weekend... two good games coming up!!!

DD. I don't think anyone ever said he "sucks". He has certainly had issues. Some of them reared their head during that game. He was lucky though. Made great decisions while running with the ball. Thought he was going to die a few times though. He wasn't crappy when he was with Denver. He's always had potential.

As for the Bears record. Football is football. Anything can happen. Just like everyone thought that NO would sail and put up a stellar record. Well they came out of the gates and fell on their faces. Atlanta lit it up. I thought Carolina would win the SB, but they did not. What can you do? Happens in hockey all the time. Teams that nobody gave much regard to end up kicking ass. Teams gel and play great together sometimes. I still think when Chicago plays a good team their card house is going to come down. Chicago....meet the Green Bay Packers.

FM...Owned. LOL.

Yeah, that's not bad. This is better:


31/36, 366 yards, 3 TD 0 INT 1 Rushing TD, 136.8 QB rating.

:icon_wink: Had to say it...

I agree it should be a great game. Both teams look very solid lately on both sides of the ball, and the Bears aren't getting the respect they deserve. Martz' offense is clicking now.

Hopefully all this praise doesn't go to Rodgers' head. I don't think it will. I've been impressed with his level-headedness through the whole Favre thing.

Exactly,
i'm not on twitters or facebooks,or whatever else there is...i come to this forum and a saltwater reef aquarium forum.....i basically try and type and communicate the way i would if we were all just sitting around watching a game or playing cards...

[North Country Dad]

I'm not predicting anything. I said I'm rooting for the Steelers.

In fact, I don't recall predicting anything about the NE-NYJ game. All I did was point out some info about the draft positions of key players. (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Seems to me you're creating a straw man.

Kind of like a certain coach we know... jeez, he really is rubbing off on all you fans, isn't he? You good little foot soldiers.... :icon_razz:

[Patrickz]

We have two close familys that are our friends that love the cheese heads so I will have to rot for the green and gold. Really can't see the Bears beating anyone else but who knows. Hey DD is the field really that bad in Chicago? Oh I also smell feet.:icon_razz:

Huge Bears fan and was thrilled to see how well he played. One another note, every time he drops to throw I have to hold my breath. I am thrilled to see the committment Martz has made to the run, that has made a huge difference.

You know I was busting on you for saying you could not see how the Jets could beat the Pats.

And that is my biggest issue with pro football. All these pundits who get paid to give us their knowledge ramming their crap down people's throat ad nausea and people believe it. Stats, stats stats. Bull crap!

And as for Rex Ryan, I would bet that 99% of NFL coaches wish they had what he has. An apparently active sex life with the same woman for many years and she is not a pig (which he is).

[CTDon]

One of the funniest things I read about the game last night: "The Footie beat the Hoodie!" :icon_lol:

You good little foot soldiers.... :icon_razz:

[silviomossa]

You know I was busting on you for saying you could not see how the Jets could beat the Pats.

I didn't either, but on the flip side, I didn't see any Jets fans brimming with confidence prior to the game. The closest thing that you wrote here was "There will be no shame in losing to the Pats right now. I just hope that they do not play the way they did the last time they played them." Um.... go team!

And I don't understand your stats problem. People make predictions before ever game. So your team doesn't get picked by many in one of them. BFD.

Silvio, you left out the part of my post that agreed with CTDons post about how the Jets have been playing this year. Please edit your last post to include my quote of CTDon (if possible). Maybe that is why Dondad does not like us only quoting quotations of other articles.

As for stats, the word "Lock" is not used more in any sport than football.

[Hockeyfan]

Called out. Lol. Nice.

You are right Mark. I agree with "any given Sunday". Even the panthers won 2 games. They were really bad too. Dam you Andrew Luck. Declare yourself eligible for the draft you puss.

[jeffus]

Yes! Go Mets! :icon_super:

Sure. I'd never use that term. The Jets already beat the Pats once this year, nothing is shocking.

Anyway, I picked a bad month to start subscribing to the NYT. Skipping straight over the sports for awhile...

[Hockeyfan]

What do you think?

He's going to kick the crap out of the Bears.

[North Country Dad]

Seems like a logical explanation to me. As Cowherd says, all we need is a little perspective. Is Rodgers playing great? Yes. Is he upper-echelon? Not yet. Did he snub the lady? Not at all.

[Hockeyfan]

You are wrong. He he upper-echelon without a doubt. If I was making a team (concussions aside) he'd be my guy. Easily top 5 QB in the league. Most think top 3, if not number 1.

[North Country Dad]

You are wrong. He he upper-echelon without a doubt. If I was making a team (concussions aside) he'd be my guy. Easily top 5 QB in the league. Most think top 3, if not number 1.

I think most people would argue these are the current top QBs, in no particular order:

Brady
Manning
Rivers
Brees
Rodgers
Ryan
Big Ben

I guess you could say that's upper-echelon. I was talking in terms of career, not just how he's playing now. If that was the case, he's #1. But four of the others have SB rings, some multiple, and have had stellar careers. I believe in him and I think he'll be great for a long time. I'm just saying he isn't HOF yet, simply because he's younger than most of the others.

[Hockeyfan]

Career? It's only been 3 seasons. Give him time. Put him in a Steeler uniform and they'd have won 3 straight. You have a stud with Rodgers. Just hope he keeps healthy.

I like you list aside from ben.

Seriously ,what do you have against Ben(no,he's not a role model).....He very rarely throws that INT that cost them the game....,and is almost always coming through when needed most...i'd take him over Ryan,Rivers and Manning with 2:00 minutes and needing a TD,especially in the playoffs

So your also saying the Steelers WR core and O line is better than GB......come on

[Kwak]

I dunno, feedthemachine. I seems in this day and age that football is more about individual stats that actual team dynamics. Though HF seems to be snubbing Ben, the reasoning behind it can be justified with this: without a veteran squad to back him up he wouldn't have had the opportunity to get this far. OTOH what I think we're seeing this year is that Ben has matured as an athlete and has taken the reins as a veteran QB.

[feedthemachine]

His first SB was handed to him ,no doubt,but the last one was all on him ,and he proved he can get it done...He is constantly having to break in new linemen like no other IMO...HF says put Rodgers on Pittsburgh and see what happens..i think the same can be said for the reverse ...OTOH put Brady behind the Steelers line this year or Manning ,they go 6-10 at best

You put Brady on the Steelers and they are a much much much much much better team. No question. Same with Rodgers, Manning or Rivers.

Ben has played better this season for sure. His defense still seems to win the games for him. His TD/INT ratio was great this year though and he had very respectable passing yards. He is a big boy and that helps him shake off defenders. He is still scum in my eyes though. I can't get past his past.

Oh and I'd take Rivers in a heartbeat in my 2 minute offense. I remember that one game he got it done 3 times in a row due to his team and their issues. It was nothing short of amazing.

Funny thing about the Steelers. My neighbour was hanging with their old coach last night at the Canes game. I've met him there once. Last night Bill was there in the Champions lounge. One of my neighbours' friends is a Pittsburghian and was so pumped. It was like his best day of his life he said. LOL.

Had a physical today. Had to go to a lab to get my bloodwork done. The lady doing my blood's son plays for the Skins. He's a kick/punt returner. She agreed that Ben sucks. :icon_razz: (JK)

[feedthemachine]

I would have loved to meet Mr. Cowher ....
O'well,i guess we agree too disagree,i think Manning and Brady would be on IR if they had to play behind the Steelers line....Just wish Sunday would hurry up and get here already:icon_wink:

Just catching up on this thread and I think FTM is lightheaded from loss of blood... hate to say it, but I agree with HF on the whole Brady/Manning vs. Ben issue. But, am leaning towards rootin' for the Steelers this weekend.

As for bloodwork, am having my done next Tuesday.

Should we all compare? One of my hockey teammates is getting his done tomorrow. Must be the season. :chugchug: I think they forgot to give me a tetanus shot though. I'm about due. Just hope the crap in my blood is good. Cholesterol sucks. My BP and all that were studly the doctor said. Then he asked me to cough. Twice! We did talk NC State basketball and football though. Good guy.

Anyways.....nice one. Glad someone sees sense. Hell I could stand in there and throw a pass to Heinz Ward. He won't drop the ball and he's everywhere. Plus he'd smile at me while doing all this. I'd do a little zigging and zagging. No big deal. I'm surely quicker then Ben too. Just don't have his size. :eusa_whistle: BTW-Ben's too big to be a hockey player. Not even Chara has his mass. I'll give him props for playing that game out. That was nice. He's not total crap. I'm not saying that. I'm not a big fan and I think his team and schemes make him better. Not too complicated. He's not in the bottom tier of QBs for sure. Top 10 all the way. Then again there are alot of crap QBs in the league making up that bottom half.

If you wanna meet Cowher, just come on down to Raleigh. I know where he lives! It's public record. Sounds like he was a good guy too. Wish he's coach the Panthers or NC State. That would be awesome.

[feedthemachine]

Well,my face is turning blue so i'll just end it at that:icon_lol:
I can see i'm against the flow here anyway
Thats OK ,i like it that way:icon_wink:
I think Cowher was/is a great coach and needs to get back into it,but i do like him on TV too...



Should have results soon ,i'll post em up compared to my last ones too

[Hockeyfan]

You are either talking too much and turning into the Jets or you're just cold. Move south. That may help. LOL. Hey you gotta support your team. I gotta bust on your team. Just how it works. I like GB and I have to pull for my Jets. I don't like Chicago either. Where were they the last month of the season? Terrible. They had a few "wins" in there, but were either against a crap team or they flat out got lucky with crazy bounces going their way. Lucky.

It is going to be a good weekend. Can't wait.

As for results.....I'll have to wait for mine. If there are any problems they will call, otherwise I'll have to wait for the results in the mail I think.

I like Bill on TV too. If he won't coach in State then screw him. :sad:

Can only go round and round on the same topic for so long.Then it becomes like diarrhea ,seems to never end and very annoying:icon_lol:
I like Da' Bears to pull an upset and the Steelers in a close one...won't be surprised if it comes down to a missed FG....Forecast in Pittsburgh is bitter cold(6-7 F by kickoff) and windy....
Aaron Smith had limited practice today,this would be huge if he can play...,even at 80%
Now for some useless info.....A Steelers win Sunday ties the all time playoff wins record(with Dallas) ,and they already have the all time conference championship wins and appearances records .


Don't think Cowher wants the Panthers job(would you:icon_wink:..JK)...Honestly think he'll stay put on TV..He's had a tough time recently and probably just wants to relax and enjoy his girls ....Of course i don't know him ...Maybe he'll pop up in Cleveland(he did play there)

Me, too. I also like Big Ben...you're not alone. I think because he's not flashy or puts up huge numbers, he doesn't get the attention like Brady or Manning. But the kid wins and he's cool under pressure.

Now, before anyone jumps in (HF), I'm not saying he's the best of all time or that he hasn't benefitted from being on a solid team -- but all SB winning QBs are on great teams, and he's done it twice.

Have you seen the stats when Troy Polamalu is in the lineup and when he's not (with Ben as QB)? It's startling. It's like 14-4 when he plays and 6-7 when he does not. Hmmm.....

Troy didn't help him with this:icon_razz:

[Hockeyfan]

Meh. Just means he didn't get the job done during the majority of the game. Whereas Brady destroyed teams by halftime.

That is a cute stat though. Almost as good as playoff road wins. It penalizes the QBs who had good records and mainly played home games.

Sounds like you're sweating this game. :icon_lol:

Uh oh! This is starting to feel like last week. EVERYONE on TV is picking the Steelers. Fine by me. I wonder if the Steelers were playing the Pats last week who the pundits would have picked to win?

On another note, I really like Big Ben and the Steelers too. If they win I will root for them to win it all. That being said I do plan to walk in to my local Kroger after the Jets win this week and ask they take down the Steelers tarp/tent they have over the Frito Lay display.

I think the Bears blow aside from their X-Panther players. Pittsburgh is surely a step up from the Bears, but not in the league of their opponent. Then again...any given Sunday. Jets can stink up a joint quite easily. Still, they are where my money is so I have to stick with them. GO JETS GO.

[One-Third]

Steelers-Packers

+1. Although part of me wants the Jets to win, so we can have two more weeks of Rex talking about how the Super Bowl will be "personal" with [insert Pack/Bears winner player or coach here] and how it will be "the most important game in Jets history."

That said, someone once told me that Big Ben is like, the best quarterback ever, waaaaaaay better than Brady or Manning, so the Steelers will win. And Rodgers is a stud. :icon_lol:

[Patrickz]

Da Bears are stinking it up so far! Lets hope for a better second half. Was hoping for a dog fight but not so far.

[C1DoG]

Bears haven't been able to handle the Packers defense yet.

[Hockeyfan]

I'm just glad that Rodgers' head is still attached after that cheap shot by Peppers. He's a beast.

[North Country Dad]

Why does he keep throwing to Quarles?!

[Hockeyfan]

Nail in the coffin. You're boy had a passer rating of less than 40 CF.....I mean Darth. I forgot CF only would comment if they made it to the SB or won it. :icon_lol:

I would have taken the Pakers even as a 6/7 point favourite. It was closer than I'd have guessed. I figured that GB would win by 10 or even 13, but Rodgers sucked ass. He started how I figured he'd play all game. Not so much.

Next one should be close. I'm pulling for the Jets all the way. Jets by 3.
