2011 NFL Thread: Round 2!

[Erzengel]

Well that hat won't get **** in it by itself.

 

[Matt]

Where is Matt....I guess he is preparing a three page excuse why the steelers loss, will the rapist shouldn't have played, and why Tomlin failed and should be fired......and maybe how GOD favorite colors are Orange & Blue.

Excuses? Like I said:

I'm fine. I've been predicting this. I expected a repeat of the San Fran game. The bad offensive coaching from Bruce Arians leads to the Steelers aged defense being worn out in the 4th quarter. The Steelers offense does the opponent's offense's job for them. And I've said, if the Broncos could keep it close, they would win. They did just that. The Steelers played into Tebow's hand. Their offense is designed to give Tebow exactly what he needs to win late. Please fire Bruce Arians.

This was predictable. I called this in the playoff pool. The Steelers by their own design were made to lose this game. I do blame the coaching because the coaching made the decisions that led to this. The Steelers are obviously the more talented team. But they were out-coached (by themselves).

Can you believe Nance said Arians should be in line for a head coaching job?

 

[Poeman]

Steelers were not going to beat the patriots either...next week will be interesting. Imagine a Texans/broncos afc championship game.

Lol hilarity would ensue.

 

[Matt]

He was paying lip service. Announcers don't like controversy. The fact that Bruce Arians has been in charge of the offense of one of the most successful teams of the past 5 years for just as long, yet has never been even mentioned as a head coach candidate for any team is INCREDIBLY telling.

 

[KalMart]

Maybe next time.

I think the game was pretty equal parts Broncos taking it and Steelers giving it away.

 

[Slushy]

To quote Michael Cole:

NOT THIS WAY DAMN IT!

 

[Spider-Fan]

I am glad to see the Broncos win, given I hate Roethlisberger with a passion.

The NFC has 2 great games next week. The AFC, I'm not so sure. I don't see the Broncons taking out the well rested Pats, nor do I see the Texans beating the Ravens at home, since the Ravens have been an excellent home team.

 

[Matt]

Maybe next time.

I think the game was pretty equal parts Broncos taking it and Steelers giving it away.

What's interesting is, the Broncos did absolutely everything right and the Steelers did absolutely everything wrong yet it was still as close as it was. That says a lot about the Steelers. Both how good their talent is and how bad their coaching is to give it away like this. This game was the consequence of bad coaching decisions that started three weeks ago in San Fransisco and has led to this. Oh well, always next year.

 

[Wheels]

I'm actually going to pull for the Ravens to win the AFC mow.

 

[StorminNorman]

To be fair, the refs played a big role in that.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I'm pulling for the Patriots. I highly respect Brady, and I think the Pats would provide the more interesting game in the Super Bowl than the other AFC teams would.

 

[Raiden]

I'm pulling for the Patriots. I highly respect Brady, and I think the Pats would provide the more interesting game in the Super Bowl than the other AFC teams would.

I hate the Pats, but I'm pulling for them to beat the Broncos by 30 pts next week.

 

[Matt]

To be fair, the refs played a big role in that.

Absolutely. Everything went Pittsburgh's way....but they couldn't win it due to bad coaching.

 

[Wheels]

I respect Brady as well but I dislike him and his team more than the Ravens.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Brady is a *****e.

I'm rooting for for the man who made Rutgers football relevant for the only time in my life, Ray Rice. I still wish the Giants would've drafted him instead of Kenny Phillips.

 

[enterthemadness]

Hey...Matt...I told you...Denver...yeah.

Of course there's a chance next weekend Pats win big...

 

[Raiden]

Belichick is a *****e.

Fixed.

I don't really like Brady either, but I do respect the heck out of him.

 

[Wheels]

It's more likely the Pats win than the Broncos.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Brady has earned the right to be a jerk, though. He never blames everyone else for his failures, and he is one of the all-time elite QBs. Man can be a jerk, for all I care. That's not what we'll remember about Brady when his tenure is over. We'll remember his rings, and his SB and league MVPs.

 

[Darthphere]

3:16 yards. You cannot make this **** up.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

After thinking, there is one answer to the Falcons problems, his name is Steve Spagnuolo.

 

[Matt]

Hey...Matt...I told you...Denver...yeah.

I picked Denver too.

After thinking, there is one answer to the Falcons problems, his name is Jack Del Rio.

Fixed.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

I could see that being very possible due to Smith's Jacksonville past. I would prefer Spags, but Del Rio would be an amazing improvement over Van Gorder.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Falcons need to learn to handle pressure, no offense. They have not played well in any of their playoffs games, so they have proven to me the post-season is still too big for them. They need someone who will help them rise to the occassion, and not just be happy they got their.
