The 2010 NFL Thread

[zero]

I don't really know who to support in this game. Normally I support the city that is most interesting culturally or historically - so New Orleans was the obvious choice last time - but Green Bay and Pittsburgh are dull.

At least Green Bay has an interesting story. Rachel Maddow had a really cool piece about them Friday, but basically they're the only small town team left in the NFL because no one could make a profit from selling the team.

Ah true enough, although to answer gazz I'm definitely more of an Angle man. It's a tough one to pick!

Zero, I missed that one ... what was it ?

Timothy Hutton doing a voice over, showing clips of the Tibetan people, talking about their struggles and the trouble the country faces, then they pan to him in a restaurant where he says something like "but they make a great curry, which I can save money on at this restaurant by going to Groupon!"

Oh how lovely ... wtf are people thinking, seriously ?

Nice fumble recovery

[mystikz]

ahhh just when it was getting close the Steelers give the ball away again. nice one Mendenhall.

[Meacon Keaton]

Looks like the Steelers want to lose just as bad as the Pack do.

[Gene Kiniski]

Nice. Nice.

[Meacon Keaton]

What the fuck. This is absolutely horrendous. Catch the football, you're paid professionals.

[SilentHitman]

Man these Packers receivers are seriously off tonight.

[Meacon Keaton]

Thank you.

[mystikz]

Jordy Nelson somehow redeeming himself after repeated drops

[HailtotheYo]

Holy shit guys, I'll be back. Digging out my green jersey as I type this. I'm not THAT far removed, and yes I can catch teh fucking ball ....

EDIT - as I type that Nelson makes me look a fool .... that is awesome.

[mystikz]

really though I know this is the Packers but they won those playoff games by not abandoning the run but ..... they haven't even tried in a while

touchdown jennings! FINALLY.

[Meacon Keaton]

TOOOOOOOOUCHDOWN

[METALMAN]

Game over? Surely? Steelers look lacklustre again.

[SilentHitman]

Okkkk the Packers receivers are off.........and on tonight. Hopefully they keep it on.

[gunnar hendershow]

This 2nd half is following proper heel vs face dynamics.

[bill Swerski voice]"Uuuuuuh, as much as I hate 'em ... and I really do there ... Uhhhh da Cheeseheads have played Ditka quite a few times there in da past ... Clearly da deciding factor in this game is da magnitude of Ditka's presence in da history of da Packers ...

soooo I'm gonna have to say ... Packers 642, Steelers -6 and Ditka is named MVP."[/bill Swerski voice]

*real prediction is Packers 27 - 17 Steelers*

so uh, no more scoring and we can call it a gimme ?

[mystikz]

I feel kinda good picking the Packers at the beginning of the season but surely a #6 seed with this many injuries has never done anything like this before.
