NFL 2011 discussion thread

I think Tebow is a fun player to watch, personally. He just does himself no service by minimizing his accomplishments by crediting the invisible man in the sky. If you think that's hating, well... Shine on. I think the same thing about every player who does what he does.

 

Will do.

 

Time to give my radio some more cranks.
This Packer-Viking game is quite exciting.
The radio announcer used to do the bears' stuff I think. He's pretty good.

 

By exciting do you mean watching Ponder throw picks and the Packers score points?

 

The Vikings are still only down two scores, and as a Denver fan, you should realize how a middling team can overcome adversity and score 15 points in the final minutes of the game.

 

Against the best team in the NFL

 

That 58-yard field-goal was described well.

 

Down by 6. 7.5 minutes left. Bleh, not over yet.

 

Look at Ponder pull out his nutsack and make a big play. Love that shit. Fuck the Packers.

 

Such a hater

 

Vikes could actually have a decent team if Ponder can step up.

 

I'd kinda like to see the Vikings win.
One more for my Uncle Dan! ( my father's 94 year-old Colonel.)

 

And that's the game. Starks running behind some great blocking. A lot closer than I thought it would be but it's nice to see the Pack beat the Vikings.

Fun fact: I have been a lifelong Packers fan due to my Dad being a fan of the Vikings. I decided to cheer against his team to get a rise out of him, then I became a huge Favre fan after watching him complete his first pass TO HIMSELF in 1992. Obviously now I think Favre is the King of the Douches, but he had a lot of great years in Green Bay (and oh-so-many heartbreaking season-ending interceptions).

 

My job as a six year old in '65 was to keep the popcorn bowls full,
while mom kept trying to explain that my dad and the colonel weren't really fighting each other. Good stuff.

 

I remember Green Bay getting their asses kicked by Denver in the Super Bowl. Best football memory ever!

 

Well, we figured we had just won it the year before, and seeing as we're such a generous team, we thought we'd let Elway get one. Then the greedy fucker came back the next year and took another one.

Also: There's nothing more bitter-sweet than memories of faded glory. If that's what you need to cling to for you to get by, I won't hold that against you.

 

You should listen to your local team's radio play-by-play announcer, as they need to be on-point, minutia-grade specific, and exhilarating with every breath they take.
(My home town team's announcer just happens to be a Hall of Famer of sorts when it comes to in-game reporting and analysis. He's bombastic.)

Back to the initial comment, though, about how "scary" Jared Allen is: I know that Allen portrays himself as the every man, country-livin' and nothing but... I just am in awe at how dominant he is this season. He's usually always got his game motor on high, and it shows through his second-half of the season revival last year, but it's unbelievable at how efficiently he's getting to every single QB he lines up against. He already has registered 12 sacks this season, when through all of last year, he made just 11 (and had only 1 sack through week 8). The colloquial "beast" doesn't even begin to describe what a commanding season this has been for him - I mean, he has registered a sack, or a split sack, in every game the Vikes have played to date. Scary? The opposing QBs and offensive coordinators define the term with Jared Allen's grinning mug at this point.

 

Holy fucking christ.

Seriously? Someone is going to sit here and proclaim the greatness of Tebow after one game against the worst team in the NFL? SERIOUSLY??

Man, those numbers he put up were absolutely amaz..SHIT. C'mon, let's be real. Tebow made a great audible at the end of the game, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't the one who booted a 50+ yard field goal to win the game. I don't give a shit one way or the other about Tebow, but to say he's gonna carry a team to the super bowl is like saying Albert Haynesworth is going to be filling in at slot receiver the rest of the season.

The other simple fact is that Miami once again proves that it has neither the coaches nor the attitude to win ballgames. This was not some miraculous John Elway type comeback, this was Miami not doing simple things and winning a ball game.

so yeah.. people can say "haters gonna hate" every other post, but we'll see who is hating at the end of the season when the Broncos savior is down and out.

Thanks Miami. Not only did you choke against a horrid team and a pathetic QB, but now you've made it to where I have to hear idiots proclaim the greatness of a QB who is better at preaching than playing.

 

first thing..... holy shit, my colts have no D. i am taking it like a man this year.
second thing. tebow is crap. when he played at florida they made the offense around him, so he would shine. and he did. he should be a running back if he wants to run all the time. yesterday he didnt win that game, the fins just had a collapse. i can count numerous times that he just missed a wide open reciever. i didnt like him when he played at florida and i dont like him now. (btw, im a uga fan. lol)

 

I'd respect that behavior more, in an odd sense, if those same player would blame God for every dropped pass etc...
