2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 2

[Rowsdower!]

Hasn't Henne gotten injured in the past two seasons? I don't think scrambling every game is such a good idea for him.

You gotta believe, Marshall says he is the white Vick...I believe.

He wishes.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I believe... Marshall is delusional.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I am glad to see Bill Polian exposed for the fraud that he is. Polian was widely considered an all time great GM by many with high football pedigrees, but really he is just the guy who stumbled upon the first pick for Peyton Mannings draft and managed not to screw it up. (He used to get props for selecting Edge over Ricky, but I think histroy can demonstrate that being a mistake.)
.

Dont forget he also traded Marshall Faulk to be able to get that pick.

The Colts have been the most underachieving team of the decade.

And the building up of the Bills before that was a fluke too? How about his work with the expansion Carolina Panthers, helping build a team that got the playoffs in its second season?

Wasn't there one game where all of the Dolphins QBs got injured Henne included ? But Henne still came back & played while injured & still managed to probably play one of the best games of his life ?

The Bills that went to 4 Super Bowls?

Yeah Polian is so overrated.

Stop it, dammit! Stop making sense!

Nevah!!!

Not sure, maybe. I do remember a game in 2009 against Pittsburgh where Henne got hurt somehow, and they put Pat White in, who got JACKED UP on a running play, and then they put Tyler Thigpen in and he played well for one or two series but then caved.

Is the goal to get to the Super Bowl, or win one?

No, Polian's work with Buffalo is quite impressive - but that was a different game. In a move that was as revolutionary to football front offices as the forward pass was to the game on the field, free agency came in 1993.

Yes, the 95 Panthers had success - but they weren't a well built franchise (it was a front loaded old team, which is why it had to be rebuilt before having sustained success).

Yeah Polian is so overrated.

But they lost every time! Therefore he is a failure!

HE SHOULD HAVE ONLY DRAFTED PLAYERS THAT COULD WIN SUPER BOWLS! t:

Yeah but they can't all have 6 Super Bowl titles, now can they?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nope. That right is reserved for one team, and one team only.

Six rings to rule them all!

The NFL wants all fans searched from the ankles up this to improve fan safety this season.

Under the new "enhanced" pat-down procedures, the NFL wants all 32 clubs to search fans from the ankles to the knees as well as the waist up. Previously, security guards only patted down fans from the waist up as they entered stadiums.

 

[BlackLantern]

a nuisance, but I agree

part of the reason I don't go to games anymore is because Ive seen people bring, shall we say questionable, items to games

 

[Immortalfire]

The games I've been to, they sweep across my arms and down my sides to my waist, but there's never been any trouble. I wonder what provoked this policy now, and not earlier... is some angry TSA agent now the league's safety advisor?

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Frack you, buddy. Frack you.

 

[Wheels]

Frack you, buddy. Frack you.

Think happy thoughts dude. The Ravens kicked The Steelers' asses.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Heh, good thing I don't live in PA anymore or else my water supply would literally be fracked thanks to *****ebag governor Tom Corbett. He's one Steeler fan that I hate.

Yeah that was the last game of the season where he had an "eye injury" but stood around on the sidelines watching the game.

I'm not a Henne basher at all but he hasn't done himself any favors around here.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Now the whole team may perish in a plane crash this year, or Suh, Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford may all have career ending injuries. Fine. But you place the Lions 53 against any other in the league and the Lions are as good as any team out there.

I think people forget how well Detroit played last season despite their 5-11 record.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Yeah, a regular season win doesn't quite fill the, oh I don't know, 5 Ring gap.

Don't you patronize me, ya bastard.

It's not like your Ravens have been around that long. I mean The Steelers won most of those championships way before The Ravens were even thought of.
