The 2010 NFL Thread

This article doesn't paint the same picture of the situatin at Pitt as you do: Pitt Post Gazette

Rodgers was also in the league for 3 years learning under Favre ... and didn't get the job done his first go 'round in the playoffs. Oddly enough, it is his sixth season that he's breaking out in the playoffs. Coincidence ?

Great find!

The whole "he was behind player x" in college is usually pretty dumb. That article makes it seem like he just didn't fit the system. That happens all the time. Even if that wasn't the case that story was still 5-6 years ago.....guys get better. Flacco isn't the first to do that either. Plus your whole "he had to go to Delaware to play" is stupid. you make it seem like good NFL players haven't played for small schools in the past. The greatest football player ever played his college football at Mississippi Valley State. Enough said.. Anyways, Flacco was forced there by NCAA rules was he not? Otherwise he'd lose a year of eligibility. Players transfer all the time. The line is usually "he didn't fit into our system" not "we wanted to keep him".

Can we agree to settle somewhere in the middle? He is not the greatest QB ever (Peyton Manning) but he sure as hell isn't Repko.

Of the eight QBs that played this weekend, Flacco is, at best, seventh. That's only because I think Sanchez is the most overrated player of his generation.

I hope the Jets get their asses kicked, again. Tired of hearing Jet Fan acting like that team is something special. They're good, no doubt, but they were the fourth best team in the AFC this year.

Now that Baltimore is out, I hate every team left in the AFC. Go Pack? The only team with a legitimate chance to beat New England is Pittsburgh. Green Bay *might* be able to pull an upset, but only if they can find some semblance of a running game. New York just doesn't have the QB to get it done.

Sanchez could be compared to Namath. I mean, Broadway Joe DOES have a horrible TD/INT ratio. Of course, even the best QB from that era, Ken Stabler, does, so...

He was 28-42 for 423 yards, 5 total TD (4 passing) and an INT and his offense scored 45 points. It's not his fault that the defense gave up 51. Rodgers with the Baltimore defense would have at least one ring already. Flacco on this GB team would have seen the Giants as the 6 seed.

EDIT: Rodgers' playoff stats are otherworldly, 73.3% completion rate, averaging 323 yards per game with 10 TD/1 INT and 2 rushing TD in 3 starts. His passer rating is 129.4 and the Packers have scored 114 points.

Where would irony and self-deprecation be without the New York media?

Also, I'm sure Goodell is absolutely giddy at the opportunity of having Bears-Packers and Pats-Steelers for the Championship Games next weekend. So giddy he's gonna make sure it happens.

[Your Mom]

How would he make sure it happens?

By convincing Pete Carroll going for a FG when you're down 28 is a great idea.

He told NFL creative to write it that way. Roger Goodell was said to be in a groin grabbingly foul mood.

There are rumors that Goodell has been very high on Joe Buck as an announcer.

Keep an eye on the guys with the Foot Locker uniforms.

Green Bay/New England II would be an awesome Super Bowl.

[Your Mom]

Why do the foot locker guys wear those anyway? Who wants to buy shoes from a referee?

Welker has been benched for the start of the game apparently

[gunnar hendershow]

Wes Welker benched to start the game because of his comments about feet.

Bart Scott not benched for threatening to end his career.

One organization is run properly, the other is not.

Goodbye Tom Bradys interception less streak

[sahyder1]

Using the spread I'm taking Ravens, Seahawks, Packers and Jets. NYJ, Ravens, Packers win outright. Bears/Seahawks will be a FG game. Brady's INT streak will come to an end.

Check!

Edit: Wow...wide left.

That offensive series by the Jets :lmao:

God we're terrible.

Missed that FG by a toenail

[gunnar hendershow]

I'm expecting Sanchez to hit a cheerleader with a pass.
