2014 NFL thread: Romo's Revenge - Part 4

[NewYorkSpider]

Man what's happened to Jay Cutler. 9/19, 87yds, 3 INT.


I would say he needs a new home somewhere...but he already went through that 6 years ago.


I think the Saints are gonna run the table and win the NFC South. As long as Atlanta doesn't give them trouble, they should be fine.

 

[Immortalfire]

I can't believe Atlanta lost to this horse manure Bears team.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Jay Cutler blows. He really does.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I have no idea why the 49ers even want to think of firing Harbaugh.

It seems that it comes down to a personality conflict. I don't know if that is between Harbs and Jed York or Harbs and Gideon Yu, but the rumors started in the Bay area as early as last season. It's completely ridiculous, because only winning should matter in this league, not whether the FO people are best buddies with the HC.

Don't forget, the Bears invested heavily in him too. $126 million dollars. Its starting to bite them now.

I've never seen someone getting paid that much put up that kind of stat line. Well, maybe Kevin Kolb (didn't the Cards give him a decent pay day?). The offseason can't come any faster for Jay Cutler.

How'd that work out for you

I had a great time at the game actually. Saw a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile, got nice and drunk, ate a bunch of tailgate food, and it wasn't that cold either. The football game was the worst part of an overall great day lol. And boy was that game a bummer! Oh well next weeks another chance at not looking like the worst team ever.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

How can anyone complain about the chance for 2 more playoff games? I also love the idea of the first place team in each conference being the only two teams getting buys. Wildcard weekend would be wall to wall football.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

the more teams you let in the playoffs, the less meaningful the regular season becomes. We'll already be coming off a season where some 6-10 abomination is going to come out of the NFC South and host a playoff game.

Yes, the playoff system needs some tweaking, but its not necessarily letting more teams in thats the answer. I'd rather watch 4 solid wild card games the first weekend, instead of six mediocre ones.

How would this result in six mediocre games, when the exact same match ups would take place, except you as 2 v. 7 in both conferences? And this is where I point out that the new teams getting in would be Wild Card teams, which are the exact opposite of crappy division winners?

If you are going to make this argument, at least use logic. Everything you said was completely illogical.

"Reverse Tebow"

I love the reference to Flash.

I wish I had mad photoshop skillz. I'd totally create an image of Tebow, "Tebowing" as the Flash, with Manziel doing the money sign as Professor F***ing Football, the Reverse Tebow.

Thanks for the lesson on logic, Mr. Spock.

A 2 vs 7 game in most years is going to be a mediocre game if not a blowout. For instance, would you really want to watch Denver play KC and whoop them a third time this year? Or would you rather wait a week and see them play Baltimore or Indy? (which they'd do anyway in the current scenario assuming higher seeds hold serve in the WC round). In most seasons your seventh seed is going to be a 9-7 or 8-8 team getting fed to some team with 12+ wins. Nine times out of 10 it's going to be a game for the sake of having another game, meanwhile the #2 seed has another game where they risk injuring players.

EDIT: Sorry I said that six games would be mediocre. I just meant the two extra ones.

 

[Warhammer]

Hell no to adding more playoff games. It's not broken. Let the first two teams out of six in each conference get a bye-week. There is nothing wrong with it, especially since a bye-week is not a guarantee to contend for the Super Bowl AND the fact that there is still an incentive to be #1 overall for guaranteed home field advantage.

To be honest, two more playoff games sounds less like trying to give more teams a chance and more like the NFL being greedy. So what if one really good NFC team is going to be left out of the playoffs or that Arizona missed it last year? It happens. And not often for that matter.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Screw it. I say redo the playoff format. Here are the rules.

Your team is not eligible for the playoff is they:

a. Are part of the NFC South
b. Are coached by a Harbaugh
c. Have a Brady or a Manning at the helm, because seriously, enough already
d. Have ever employed Rex Grossman, even if it was only in training camp
e. Are the Redskins, because Redskins
f. Are the Titans or the Jaguars, because it's bad enough the NFL was stupid enough to schedule a primetime game featuring these two sh**piles... no one wants to suffer through the possibility of either one actually winning a playoff game. Neither of them actually WOULD of course, but still, the chance is there, if the other team got into a horrific bus accident en route to the statiaum, which resulted in 248 people on the freeway being burned alive. And multiple studies have shown that allowing the Titans and the Jaguars into the playoffs increases the chances of lethal traffic accidents by 76%. So do the right thing, NFL. Keep them out and save some lives.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

To be honest, I'm not interested in us making the playoffs. I don't want a team that features Cam trotting out there injured with an OL filled with UDFAs, Ron Rivera and Mike Shula managing an offense, and a defense that has less than a decade of experience combined.

Yet, I can't stand the idea of The Saints and that classless fanbase hosting a playoff game. I rather Atlanta go but I'm not too fond of them either.

Well now somebody needs to do this! I wish my MacBook with all my adobe stuff didn't break or I'd be all over it lol.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Interesting angle here for Sunday:

Derek Anderson (Cleveland's only Pro Bowl QB in decades) faces off against his old squad... and Manziel.

 

[MrMaooz]

Hell no to adding more teams to the playoffs. It's fine the way it is.

 

[Rowsdower!]

DA is going to score a buttload of points due to all the short fields Johnny will grant him.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Bears head coach Marc Trestman likely to be fired after season.

Bears

 

[Rowsdower!]

Not much of a surprise there. They have to cut ties with Cutler though. They have too many talented players at other positions to keep trying to make it work with a QB who doesn't give a crap. Trouble is though that they gave him at ludicrous contract, so they may need to keep him.

Good. Now he can go back to watchin folks swim at the rec center.

See I can understand this. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. That was the only reason I was calling your post illogical. It has no effect on the other four games already being played.

For Chicago's sake, they should take the loss and drop him. That is the best receiving corps in the league.
