2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[Hound55]

Honestly, I kind of figured that before.Not sure how Peyton feels himself, but I'd have thought the Colts would want to keep him in close tabs. Tell him "This guy Luck's our future (if they can still get him), but you're still our now for a couple years if you can still play" and then gradually make his more role more off-field towards offensive co-ordinator, and finally, head coach.I think that's what the Colts want. Whether Manning would go along with it is the question mark.

I don't know about anyone else but where is this Manning as a coach stuff coming from? Did he say it in an interview? It seemed like to me he would eventually go into television for however terrible he might be.

 

[Erzengel]

If the Colts get the #1 they are drafting Lucky. Although, I highly doubt Manning & Luck are going to stay on the same team. I'm still would be surprised if they do draft Luck that we have see the last game with Manning as a Colt.

The Rams, I see them trying to trade Luck for an obscene number of draft picks. Bradford is one of the last QBs that got a huge payday as a rookie.

Vikings, would take Luck and trade Ponder. I don't think they have as much invested.

I don't know where the coaching thing is coming from either as far as a rumor goes. However, I know a lot of fans and, also, analysts on television have always referenced that he'd always make a good coach.

And, I agree, he'd be horrible on television, heh. I don't think he'd be as bad as Tony Dungy but pretty darn close.

 

[CConn]

The whole coach thing comes from how obviously knowledgable Peyton is as a player. Whether he's interested or not, it's pretty safe to say he'd make a very good coach given his knowledge and obvious skill as a leader.

Jets and Giants game will be really interesting. I'd like to see both of them be in the playoffs but that would mean Giants will have to win today.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I saw the NFL PA Proposal for HGH testing.....DeMo Smith will likely be subpoenaed by Congress soon because of that.

 

[bored]

Man, games on Saturday this week. Totally throws me off. But hey, Chiefs a day early! Beat the Faders!

 

[Boom]

Seriously, Giants?

I need the Jets to lose .

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Damn you Broncos!!!! Lose!!!!

 

[SpideyInATree]

Dolphins CRUSHING the Pats? And the Pats are playing at home? This is madness...I LOVE IT! t:

However, Ravens are crushing the Browns not good news but a Pats loss will definitely make me happy.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

And Cam breaks another QB record.

:

 

[SpideyInATree]

99 yard TD by Victor Cruz...Giants are winning by three now! HUGE!

Boy...am I glad I put Cruz in my fantasy game.

That was freakin' nuts. I thought the Giants were gonna phone this one in and lose. And Pats still getting destroyed. It's a good week. t:

 

[CConn]

Did he dance? He needs to stop dancing.

 

[SpideyInATree]

There was no dancing. A lot of ass slapping though.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Yay!! Broncos are losing, Chargers better not f**k up against The Lions.

 

[Boom]

Wow...

 

[SpideyInATree]

I saw that TD on the halftime show. That was freakin' amazing. Dude landed on his feet and in the end zone...in bounds.

 

[Boom]

Mark Sanchez is so painful to watch.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I don't know what it is about Sanchez. He seems like a solid QB and makes some plays and then other times he just plays like a back up QB at best. Just can never get a solid read on the guy.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Anybody see Peterson's injury? Ouch...

He'll be out next year.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Yeah I saw that in a game break. That was brutal. Nothing seems to be going right for the Vikings. They said that Ponder was out too because of a head injury.

 

[Immortalfire]

Tim Tebow still throws the ball like it weighs fifty pounds.

 

[SpideyInATree]

That game is pretty close still. Looks like Buffalo has the ball now though. If they get a TD it may be out of reach for the "Tebow magic"

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I need the Broncos to lose at least once, either this week or next week. That should give The Chargers playoff life.

Please... Bills, have some dignity. Don't f**k this up.
