2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[SpideyInATree]

Wow! Chargers with a big interception. Man, oh man...Ravens are burying themselves. The Steeler fan in me is getting an early Christmas present!

 

[Genesis 1.0]

I'm honestly honestly having difficulty watching any more of this putrid ****.

Clinch a playoff spot, **** the bed, & hand the Division to the Steelers.

**** off.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Another TD for Mathews! Well, looks like I'm losing in the second round of the fantasy playoffs this year. No matter. It's worth it to see the Ravens go down and hopefully help the Steelers. My loyalty to the Black & Gold trumps all other NFL allegiances.

Don't hate. Make your team suck less.

Well, looks like the Steelers won't be playing Ben tomorrow night and hopefully they can get the win on the Niners to take the lead, that's what I'm worried about. However, you never know Ravens can come back.

A bit OT here...Kim Jong Il is dead...Good Riddance

Flacco throws another INT.

Holy cow! What the heck is happening to the Ravens?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Chargers are looking real good. It's too bad they might not make the playoffs. They need a lot to happen.

I have a feeling Ben will still play. I'm not sure that he should, but he tends to want to go in if he's even remotely healthy. We'll see. But even if he doesn't, I still think that the Steelers can beat the 49ers if the defense plays up to par. Guess we'll see.

 

[Boom]

I really want to see the Bengals in the playoffs but I'm just not seeing it. I'm hoping they win next week and the Ravens pull their top players in two weeks (preparing for the playoffs) and give the Bengals the last win. That's the best I can hope for but I don't know.

After the Bengals' abysmal first half in today's game against the Rams, I'm not so confident about the Cardinals matchup.

As for the Ravens, they won't rest their starters. Depending on what the Steelers do tomorrow night, the Ravens may still be fighting for the division title.

The Bengals have to win out (with the Jets losing one or two more games) in order to back into the playoffs. I don't see it happening.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Flacco throws another INT.

Just goes to show you, you shouldn't shoot your mouth off prematurely in the NFL. Just look at what's happened this season.

LaMarr Woodley rips Flacco as a QB - Ravens sweep Steelers.

Antrel Rolle rips the Redskins - Redskins sweep Giants.

Eli Manning complains about not being counted among the league's elite - He puts together a good season but the Giants still struggle heavily to win games.

Joe Flacco complains that the Ravens are disrespected despite being a good team - the Ravens choke hardcore when they have a chance to probably win the AFC North.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Charger Magic. That's the only way I can describe it. It happens every December, from Tom Brady to Peyton Manning. I'm still shocked that they're looking this good with third stringers.

I think so, haha. Hey, I'm not going to complain. It hurt my fantasy game but it helps out the Steelers big time!

I couldn't agree more Row. Shut your mouth and just play. Whining and trash talk never helps the case.

I think Eli Manning backed up his words though. The Giants defense is to be blamed for this downfall. Eli can't save them every single week and no quarterback, even the great ones, should have to.

 

[Poeman]

Jeez Flacco is terrible

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Lol.

Rats, we ain't gonna make it to the playoffs this year. At least, I can get excited about next year for my Panthers and Chargers.

Exactly. He's 7th in QB Rating. Has thrown only one more interception that Brady and Brees. He's also thrown for over 4,000 yards.

Just read about it. I still he was assassinated.

I would have agreed with you... but did you watch the game today? Eli was f***ing TERRIBLE. And against the Redskins, of all teams. Granted, the 'Skins D is probably a tad underrated -- I actually think that Washington is a quarterback away from being a potential contender -- but throwing three picks against them is just pathetic.

 

[SpideyInATree]

That one pick in the end zone between Manning and Manningham was just miscommunication. For all we know Manningham may not have run the route correctly. Still, I've seen enough of Eli Manning to know that he's a VERY solid QB and, honestly, you can't lay all the blame on him. However, he is the leader and sets the tone for the team...but the defense could have stepped it up a little bit for him too.

I just think, overall, the Giants had a bad game and the Redskins went out there and played their hearts out because what else did they have to play for but pride?

 

[Immortalfire]

Chargers have played like the most "don't care" team in the league all year. They wait til now to play well? Geez.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I find it stunning that Takeo Spikes has never been to the Playoffs.

The Steelers should absolutely play Ben tomorrow. I can't stand the guy but the offense has been atrocious enough without him. They need him, because a win tomorrow gives them the one seed and home field throughout (assuming that they can go on to win out). They need to fire on all cylinders.
