2010 NFL Thread II

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I don't think Al Davis would like anyone, anyway, not unless that coach brings him the Superbowl victory (which I seriously doubt will happen anytime soon).

Didn't Al Davis also resent Tom Flores?

The Rams DO hire McDaniels! ****ing right! We may get the ball down field now!

Good pick up - Keep him away from personnel moves, though.

[Hush]

Oh yeah i do not want him making a single personnel choice enless its at WR because he needs them.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Kiper predicts the Browns will draft AJ Green. I would agree with that pick

 

[Erzengel]

The look on Brady's face is comical.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I really hope the Rams get Julio Jones.

As much as I hate the Jets, I'm getting tired with the amateurish sports prognosticating coming from Steeler Nation. I'm almost positive the Jets will win this one, perhaps not by a mile, perhaps only by 1 point, but I honestly don't see their defense giving up big plays to Roethlisberger. Especially after how dumbfounded Tom Brady looked out there. I've never seen that before. I've seen him frusterated when his team crumbles around him, but he always seems to understand the game around him. Even against the Jets he slowly began to realize their defense in the second half; too little, too late. The Steelers, no such luck.

My biggest pet peeve is consistently hearing about the "Polumalu factor". "We didn't have Troy the last time, blah, blah, blah, his hair is magic, he'll wave his hands and Sanchez will turn into a bunny rabbit". The Patriots were down Mike "The Avalanche" Wright and Ron Brace for most of the season, two monster DLs and we made adjustments and soldiered on without them until the post-season. And while Polumalu is my favorite defensive player, I lack the faith Steeler nation places upon his shoulders. I've seen Tom Brady and Peyton Manning make him a non-factor plenty of times, and he was of little consequence in the first three quarters of the Ravens game last week.

The Steelers loss to me proves two things:

1) The Jets CAN and WILL run the ball more effectively than any other team the Steelers have faced, doing so in week 15.

2) Specials Teams and the Jets D still will be a deciding factor.

Also the Steelers seem weaker defensively when you spread the ball around, especially to either side of the field, this is where Santio Holmes and Braylon Edwards will burn the Steelers corners, and where the Polumalu factor will be essentially a non-issue.

The Steelers can win, and it's almost business as usual if they do, I just don't expect it.

It's the ultimate OMG look

Whaaaaaaat?!!! I've never heard that before. I doubt it, because Tom Flores still does Raider preseason games with Plunkett. When Al has a grudge, he holds it.

I want a textless version of that t:

[TheOnlyOmega]

I still dont understand why he let Cable go.
He'd be a perfect coach for the old, thuggish, with half of the players on work release from Rikers, Raiders.

 

[Assassin32]

I think it's because he covets Hue Jackson AKA HUGE ACTION.

 

[kane9321]

Great signing by the Rams. McDaniels is a good OC, should help their O out alot

whoa...thats a great signing. bradford gonna lite it up....against my 49ers

I'm surprised Al Davis didn't go with Hue Janus, it fits more with his character.

 

[steintym]

That picture is pretty hilarious. The look on Brady's face ...

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

I has idea, how about instead of the pro bowl, which nobody cares about, they have a 3rd place game between the losers of the conference championship games? Would be much better. They could just have the pro bowl be selection only, no game, like being an All American in NCAA.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

No football team wants to play for third.

 

[Hush]

Agreed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Better than Hue Gerection.

 

[Matt]

No football team wants to play for third.

Agreed.

Especially when you consider that the two teams would essentially be competing for a lesser draft pick.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

They should hand out Gold, Silver, and Bronze Lomarbi Trophies, Im sure theyd be down for it then.

 

[bored]

Have the game where they play for 3rd, and reward the winning team with a pizza party.
