New York Giants fo ever

YorkeDaddy 09-24-2011 10:03 PM

The Giants are terrible.

Bloozcrooz 09-28-2011 08:39 AM

What kiind of season is it when Brady throws 4 picks in a game and the Detroit Lions are 3-0? Really/ Along with the Bills...and the raiders? Im curious to see what things look like by week 8.

midnight rain 10-02-2011 01:47 PM

The Steelers o-line sucks nuts. That's what, 6 sacks this game?

Bloozcrooz 10-02-2011 05:38 PM

Wow..dream team falls to 1-3 and my Cowboys have yet to figure out that Romo obviously has a grudge against his own team. He single handedly blows more chances to win then any Q.B ive ever seen. With the exception of Mcnabb maybe. Also you can tell that this no tackling in pads in training camp is really weighing on deffenses across the league. Every other highlight someone is throwing for over 400 yards in a game...and losing. Which means their deffense is just as bad as their opponents. I like seeing the run first teams win and keep it a little life to the old school way of playing football. The 49ers did it and the Bears did it mostly running the ball today. I did however finally figure out today why I dont like Aaron Rogers watching him play. His looks remind me of Kermit the frog for some reason...I dunno he just looks like a doofus. Just a few observations I picked up on watching some games today.

Thom Yorke 10-02-2011 10:02 PM

Calvin Johnson ties Cris Carter for the most consecutive games with multiple TD receptions of all time. What a beast.

Bloozcrooz 10-02-2011 10:03 PM

Yeah I saw!!! Thanks for the reminder!!! lol. Just finished watching the Ravens game. At least their deffense looked up to par tonight. Of course it was the Jets they were playing though.

debaserr 10-02-2011 10:38 PM

Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant are the big up and coming WRs I think(nevermind, CJ might be the best right now), Julio Jones isn't bad either.

Bloozcrooz 10-02-2011 10:44 PM

I would say that Calvin Johnsons been good for a while. Dez is more on the up and coming side of things and the one who has to prove himself as elite. Im fond of Mike Wallace for the Steelers and whoever the rookie for the Ravens is that caught 3 TD's in the game before last. Also noticed Hester for the Bears broke the NFL return record with 11 punt returns today. All kinds of crazy **** going on this year.

Yeah where's the love for Mike Wallace?

Steelers' Mike Wallace On Pace To Meet 2,000-Yard Goal - SB Nation Pittsburgh

Thom Yorke 10-02-2011 11:09 PM

I've thought CJ was elite since his sophmore year. He's put up with all types of **** at QB and only now is getting stability with Stafford (if he can stay healthy). It's him and Andre Johnson at the top, but I think CJ separates himself entirely from the rest of the league this year, and easily has the ability to go down as one of the all-time greats at the position.

Other up-and-coming receivers I like are A.J. Green, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, and Michael Crabtree. Crabtree is one of those guys that won't produce in a situation he doesn't like, so it doesn't look good for him right now, but he still has huge potential. It's a shame to see it go to waste.

A guy that's already proven but can take it up another notch is Hakeem Nicks. I can see him becoming a top 3 guy very soon.

Thom Yorke 10-02-2011 11:11 PM

I took Mike Wallace pretty late in fantasy last year. Easily my best pick. Best deep threat in the league; I like him more than Jackson.

You and Mark Sanchez both apparently. My Bolts look like they are going to the playoffs. Their schedule is pretty weak overall which makes me prepare for another early playoff exit.

Yeah, I'm really gearing up for some riveting championship series losses from my Jets and Sharks. Safe to say the excitement is palpable around my house as I eagerly anticipate just how my teams will blow it this year! :tramp:

(Side bar: I'll be heading to the Duck Pond to crash the home opener. Quack quack.)

The Jets could still remain contenders if they get Mangold back. I know what life without your starting center is like, Hardwick gets injured for the Chargers every year.

I'll be at the home opener also in the club level. See ya at the blue line lounge, look for the Getzlaf jersey. Go Guppies<------ Not really. :shycouch:

Apparently Peyton's injury no longer has the remainder of his career in jeopardy.

Woot

I can't see the Colts not taking Peyton's salary, even if Luck is ready. It'd be a major slap in the face if they didn't.

debaserr 02-02-2012 09:12 PM

I'm pretty sure they are gonna dump him. They have cleaned house from bottom to top. New head coach and gm too.

It's a shame.

Sparky 02-03-2012 04:51 PM

chances are pretty good of him coming to minni. Leslie Frazier and our new d coordinator both mentored under dungy and have a relationship with peyton. We have an incredibly good record of getting old beaten up qb's so im confident our staff can do it again.

NSW 02-05-2012 09:45 PM

I'm post-Superbowl drunk right now...a little bit.

I've said before that Tom Brady was a better QB then Eli Manning, however Eli blew Tom out of the frackin water tonight. He out-played and out-threw him, and quite frankly even though I was totally rooting for the Patriots, I'm surprised they scored as many points as they did. Brady wasn't in the game, the defense wasn't in the game....boo.

And the commercials sucked.

You know it's a bad Super Bowl when Madonna is the most exciting performer.

Sparky 02-06-2012 12:58 AM

I think a lot of football teams could have beat the patriots tonight

blastingas10 02-06-2012 02:39 AM

I've been having this argument with my dad.

Tony romo vs Eli manning

I think manning is definitely the better qb but my dad Is sure that romo is better. He's being stupid. Romo has a really good regular season record, but when he's bad, he's extremely bad. When both quarterbacks are having a bad day, romo is much worse. And then when it comes down to crunch time, romo sucks, manning steps up. Romo has a 1-3 playoff record. Manning has a 8-3 playoff record and two superbowls. End of discussion, right? Wrong. My dad just keeps going on about how manning has a better team, which definitely is true this year. But there were years that romo had a really good team too.

Let's took a look at romos playoff record. Of course there's the infamous botched hold on the extra point vs seattle in 2006, that single-handedly lost the game. Then there's 2007 when the cowboys finished with a 13-3 record. The cowboys lost to the giants that year in the playoffs. Manning threw 12/18, 163 yards and 2 touchdowns. Romo went 18/36, 201 yards, one touchdown and one interception. And then in 2008, in what technically was a playoff game against the eagles, whichever team won is the team that got the playoff birth. The cowboys lost 44-6; romo went 21/39, 183 yards, 0 touchdowns and 3 turnovers. In 2009 the cowboys were divisional champs, romo Had a 104.9 passer rating in the first round of the playoffs, the only good playoff performance of his career. But the very next game, the cowboys lose 34-3 to the Vikings and romo has 4 turnovers. And of course the next two years the cowboys wouldn't make the playoffs. Let's not forget to mention romos 7-10 record in December.

When you compare that to the 8-3 playoff record and 2 superbowls wins of Eli manning, I think it's clear who the better quarterback is.

starrynight 02-06-2012 02:03 PM

Very happy New England lost, I don't think I could take anymore gushing over Tom Brady. The panel on the Sky Sports broadcast were insufferable on that as well as the pathetic over the top 'enthusiasm' they pretended to have.

Bloozcrooz 02-19-2012 04:28 PM

Somewhere in here there's my preseaon super bowl picks. I havent sifted through them but it was The Patriots and The Eagles. Well I was half right but was disappointed that Eli and the giants made it and won. ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

debaserr 03-16-2012 12:50 PM

Looks like Manning has his choices down to three teams: Broncos, 49ers and the Titans.

I'm hoping for the 49ers as a Manning fan, but the Broncos wouldn't be bad either.

Bloozcrooz 03-16-2012 02:19 PM

I wish he would just retire myself. We finally get rid of Farve and now its Manningpalooza everywhere. He's old in terms of NFL years and should just consider himself lucky he's not in a wheel chair. I really dont think he could be that beneficial to any team right off the bat. The whole offensive scheme that he came from was centered around him calling the plays. I think its a process that takes time to develop within a organization to mesh well. Im not to sure how any offensive coordinator's going to handle Peyton coming in and dictating whats going to take place on the field. If it does happen to work out for a team, then kudos to them but I just dont see it happening.

Offensive coordinator to peyton manning,

"i will do whatever you say, master"

Seriously, you used Brett Favre as an example. Look at how easily he came in and improved the vikings when the pieces were their around him. Peyton Manning is the smartest QB ever, he made the colts competitive even though the rest of that team was awful. Even though the coaching staff was a joke.

debaserr 03-17-2012 01:28 AM

I hope he picks the 49ers.

If he is 90% of what he has been, they would probably be the super bowl favorites.

Sparky 03-17-2012 01:36 AM

Oh absolutely, they were certainly up there even without him.

I like him in Denver too, with Eric Decker, see Tebow get screens or some runs.

debaserr 03-17-2012 02:36 AM

I bet they would trade Tebow if they land Manning. He has so much buzz someone like the Jaguars would probably overpay for him (I could see him improving a lot though).

Sparky 03-17-2012 02:45 AM

He better hope God wasn't just a broncos fan then

Forward To Death 03-17-2012 03:04 AM

Tebow still stinks. He has a good arm and accuracy, his mechanics and QB decision making are dreadful though. McD was the only reason his release isn't as bad as it used to be. That big release would have been pick heaven for opposing secondary when you take into account he throws wobbly ass passes.

I don't bet on him improving but he's young, so I hold out hope for him.

Thom Yorke 03-17-2012 08:29 AM

God, I hope Manning goes to the 49ers. Moss and Crabtree are my favourite receivers of all time (I'm weird like that), and they'd seriously be an absolute powerhouse with a healthy Manning. Manning hasn't had a RB as good as Gore since James, and he's never had a defense that good before.

I also really like the Williams pickup for the Bills. One of the best DE in the league when he's helathy. Where's captaincaptain at?

Exo 03-17-2012 09:01 AM

49er fan here.

I'm torn between some things...

1. I would LOVE to have manning on the team.

2. I would love to sign Alex to a three year deal. Coach made him a good quarterback.

3. Manning would kind of break the bank a little. Still need another WR, guard, and corner. That and the signing of draft picks.

4. Would he mesh well with Harbaugh? I honestly don't think so, but they'll put that aside cause they'll be undefeated.

To me, it's a win - win on whether he signs or not.

Forward To Death 03-17-2012 11:15 AM

They won't be a lock to go undefeated by any means. Moss is old and hasn't done crap for a couple of years while Crabtree is just a decent jump-ball receiver.

Manning will also be a year removed from the game due to surgery.

Manning can mesh with anyone. You make it sound like he's some kind of diva. If anyone doesn't mesh, my money's on Moss.

Sparky 03-18-2012 01:00 AM

I'm interested to see how fast Moss will be this season.

I see him being handy for corner routes, especially in the endzone, i just don't know if he's the route runner you would want in this modern offense.

debaserr 03-18-2012 01:28 AM

If he's locked in, you really want him.

I've heard reports that the Broncos probably aren't getting Manning. So it comes to two: 49ers / Titans

crash_override 03-18-2012 09:47 AM

Manning will be on the Titans next year, I'm almost sure of it. He will do well, probably AFC championship game well.
