How did that Ohio State guy get on Detroit's team?

 

[Mike87]

Withholding the grammatical errors of his post, there seems to be another issue at hand. This guy seems to be displaying the surefire signs of bandwagonery!! That is a serious crime in the world of sports!

really, who the hell has 3 favorite teams?

 

[paledragon64]

Woooooooo Broncos actually might make it to the playoffs!

And then if they don't SUCK like they've done for about half of the year, we should do pretty good.

 

[Peeze]

No they shouldn't. There's no team in the AFC playoff picture that they're capable of beating. Except maybe NYJ.

I'm not hating on the Broncos but I hate how if you win your division you automatically get a playoff spot. That would be ridiculous if either Miami, New England or the Jets got left out of the playoffs even though they all have a better record than Denver. They could all potentially have a better record by 2 games which is alot in the NFL. The same could hold true with the Arizona Cardinals as well if they stay on 8 wins and the Cowboys, Eagles, Saints, Falcons or Redskins end up with a better record with at least 9.

I don't mind having divisions due to it's fun to have rivalries by playing 3 teams twice in around the same geographical area. I'm just against having a team with the 7th or 8th best record getting in over the team with the 6th best record. The AFC and NFC Wests overall haven't even been all that competitive.

Jake Long - 14 Starts - 5 Penalties for 40 yards - 2.5 sacks allowed for 15.5 yards
http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/playerstats.asp?id=8778&team=15

Joe Thomas - 14 Starts - 6 Penalties for 35 yards - 2.5 sacks allowed for 11.5 yards

Jason Peters - 13 Starts - 8 Penalties for 55 yards - 11.5 sacks allowed for 106.5
yards
http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/playerstats.asp?id=7122&team=2

So how does Jason Peters make the probowl while guys like Jake Long, Ryan Clady and Mike Roos get snubbed?

 

[Steeler]

oh wow, i didn't know there was an nfl thread here...

scheduling got lucky this year, as the top two teams in each conference happen to be playing each other this week. amazing.

could either titans/steelers or giants/panthers be previews of championship games?

Based on name alone. That's why fans shouldnt get a vote. They skew the results.

 

[Deleted member]

Jake Long's stats look great, he'll be a Hall of Famer unless he gets injured.
Pro Bowl voting by fans is ********

Qft, who the hell votes Julius Peppers > Jared Allen, that's like blasphemy
Its cuz no one knows who are the good offensive linemen

 

[cutter]

That's why it should be renamed the Popularity Bowl.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

Holy s*** what a game

2 Reed picks
fake FG run on 4th down
TD runs of 77 and 82 yards, longest in Texas stadium
Mason kickin a** with basically one arm

all this and much more on the last game in Texas stadium. All I can say is wow..

Dallas just got owned.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

After seeing the Pats game, I just learned that we need more balance in the NFL.
Since when does the runner up for the Super Bowl get a ridiculously easy schedule? Detroit is a bad team and they had a much harder schedule than the Gaytriots.

 

[Deleted member]

It kills me to no end that the Chargers have an easier time making the playoffs than the Patriots. Patriots can go 11-5 and miss and the Chargers can go 8-8 and make it.


EDIT: Pick the Week 16/17 games to see who makes the playoffs. The Pats need a Baltimore loss or a Week 16 Jets loss and a Week 17 Jets win. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario

 

[ProBrawler]

Yeah G-Men! Finally a game that lived up to the hype.

 

[Bailey]

God that game gave me heart attacks.

I knew it would be an intense game.

Wind - 216 yards in under 15 carries

Earth - SEX and Hammer Time

Fire - EFF WITH HIM

 

[Virgilijus]

Go Titans! Straight to the super bowl!

I say Chargers win, beat Indy in the first round. Heard it here first.

 

[Peeze]

Vikes didnt get beat by the Falcons, they beat themselves.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

no they lost to the FALCON PUNCH!

 

[Peeze]

No they didnt. We ***** all day. We beat the Falcons in every major statistical category. Unfortunately, while dousing the Falcons in chloroform, we managed to spill a little in our eyes and woke up with butt pains.

 

[Arty]

Man... how about those Lions though... 0-15. They will be playing their ***** off in Green Bay.

 

[Bailey]

They can't go winless it's impossible. Next week I'm betting all my money on the Lions.

Also Indy isn't losing to Chargers this year.

 

[SharkAttack]

I agree. I'm not a Patriots fan or hater but that's very ridiculous if they don't make the playoffs despite the fact they could very well win 3 more games over Denver or San Diego. 3 games is alot. The NFL along with all sports needs to do away with "If you win your division you make the playoffs." Not only this but the Patriots schedule was more difficult than the Chargers and Broncos. Just look at the divisions. Of course it's easy to pick off wins from the Chiefs and Raiders as oppose to the Bills, and Dolphins. It should all be based on record.

They can't go winless it's impossible. Next week I'm betting all my money on the Lions.

The Lions will find a way to lose, they always do. Not only this but they haven't won in Lambeau since 1991. Won't happen this time, especially in the cold.

 

[Mike87]

Awesome, Jets are on the verge of an epic collapse and Chad Pennington is looking for revenge.

Time to knock them the **** out of the playoff race

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

Yeah, I want Miami to win so the Pats won't get in

Johnny Lee Higgins shoulda been in the pro bowl

Wow, you're gonna lose all your money then. Going winless is not impossible. '76 Tampa Bay did it, and they actually lost 26 straight! Believe me, a 20 year Lions supporter, that Detroit will not win in GB.

And whoever said that if Dolphins win Pats won't go, there is actually another way for them to get in (Baltimore loss).

 

[XACE-K]

I seriously cried during the Jets game. They are all f***ing bums if they don't get in the playoffs.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

^
True but Baltimore isn't likely gonna lose to Jacksonville at home. It could happen, but not likely.

Week 17 Pix
Atlanta
New England
Cincinnati
Green Bay
Tennessee- Colts still have bad run defense
NY Giants- closer matchup than I expected cuz Giants suddenly can't stop the run
Carolina- could end home win streak of all division games in NFC South
Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay
Houston- I swear to god they better win
Miami- same as ^
Philly- Westbrook!!
Baltimore
Washington
Arizona- they play good at home
San Diego- they are gonna play their a** off to make sure Denver loses. And they play at SD

I think it was justified, everyone in Seattle was throwing snow at everyone.

 

[Arty]

I think the Pats will sneak into the playoffs after the Jets beat the Dolphins this Sunday

 

[XACE-K]

True but Baltimore isn't likely gonna lose to Jacksonville at home. It could happen, but not likely.

That only comes into play IF the Jets and Patriots win. If that happens and Baltimore loses, Jets get 6th seed. I'ld rather have them get the AFC East title but as long as they get into the playoffs, idc.

Ellis has been very up and down lately. First he gets caught with pot, than recovers a fumble for a TD that wins us a game and now this.

 

[Wrath`]

My team proabaly has no chance after sundays lost..........Eagles i guess have next year

 

[Peeze]

The eagles are winning the super bowl thats all anyone needs to know.

In a few days you'll be proven an idiot.

 

[BEHR]

Man I was mad after Panthers lost. ;-;


We would have won if we were more aggressive in the Second Half like we were in the first half.

 

[SharkAttack]

Week 17 Picks:

Falcons over Rams 30-3
Patriots over Bills 24-13
Bengals over Chiefs 27-6
Packers over Lions 24-0
Texans over Bears 24-14
Colts over Titans 17-13
Vikings over Giants 21-17
Saints over Panthers 27-16
Steelers over Browns 17-6
Bucaneers over Raiders 23-13
Ravens over Jaguars 34-7
Jets over Dolphins 20-17
Eagles over Cowboys 30-17
Cardinals over Seahawks 23-17
49ers over Redskins 20-13
Chargers over Broncos 31-23.

Kinda hard to picks some of these games. I bet alot of teams locked into playoff spots rest their starters. Might be backups vs. backups in the Colts/Titans game.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

SH*T!!!!!
Block FG ftl..
god, I am so mad right now..

Giants PLZ sandbag
Houston PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ WIN!!!

 

[_Phloat_]

Haha, in my pathetic blindness I thought I saw the ball fly into 50 yards, not strait into the ground during that field goal. I jumped and cheered with what I thought was going to be the rest of my family. But they saw it, so I just kinda... sat back down quietly.

GG either way, and I don't watch football =].

Hope Vikings season doesn't end the way it did last year.
