Yay, the Eagles season is kind of still alive, and Vince Young kind of did it!

Though it could all be over again if they lose to the Patriots next week.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

What were your thoughts on Vince Young?

I thought it was ballsy as fuck to come out the gate throwing a deep pass. Of course it was picked....

But he settled down, picked up the pace of his throwing motion, planted sooner. He looked alright. He's not Michael Vick, at least not yet.

But he seems like he has the potential to develop into a more traditional quarterback. On the other hand, there is NO offensive in the NFL more explosive than the Michael Vick powerhouse. And Vince Young is a smug douche. I want to punch him.

Speaking of smug douches, Phillip Rivers is king.





And Cutler on Rivers, haha:



I like the part of the Bears game yesterday where Rivers threw two picks. Or the part where Johnny Knox slipped and missed a pass which was intercepted, and Cutler went and tackled Antoine Cason like the boss that he is.

Anyway, I like to keep tabs on Phillip Rivers career...and see if he is going to throw more interceptions or have more children when all is said and one. He is a smug douche on the field too.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

Here's the thing about Rivers ... he comes off as an arrogant prick. I actually appreciate his moral stances and beliefs, but he doesn't go about presenting those beliefs in a mature or humble way. Hence, he comes off as an arrogant prick. He also sure trash talks way more than any other QB I've ever watched, especially considering he doesn't curse. What exactly is he even saying?

I legitimately feel very sad for Cutler and Bears fans. I'm not a huge Jay Cutler fan, but I do think he received some unfair scrutiny at the end of last season, and he was just beginning to play at a very high level this season. Extremely unfortunate timing. :(

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

That's the difference between Tebow and Rivers.

Tebow = humble guy who wants to try his hardest to win games.

Rivers = douche nozzle.

Aside from the horrible media hype, you kind of want to see Tebow win. And by God, he is making it happen! With all these crazy 4th quarter finishes, it is inspired football.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

Holy shit. Broncos waived Kyle Orton.

Chicago? Again?

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

I heard Marc Bulger was a possibility as well? I'm not sure who I would rather have between Orton and Bulger ... neither? :unsure:

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

WTF!!!! They ejected Pat Lee but none of the asshole Lions players got a call? Fuck the refs and fuck the Lions.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

Wow. Ndamukong Suh truly is the dirtiest player in the NFL (also an idiot).

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

The guy is dirty as hell. It really undermines his "talent." Is he talented? Or just dirty.

Ripping players helmets off...driving people to the ground...stomping on people. He is a real sack of crap.

I was hoping for a shut out, it would have been epic to go into Ford stadium and shut out the Lions. Let's hope the Packers can box this up.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

I'll just take the win. ;)

Suh better be looking at a nice, long, multi-game suspension. Excellent job of trying to counter your negative image by throwing an opposing player's head to the ground twice and then proceeding to kick him in the chest on national TV during a family holiday. Idiot.

That is seriously your pass at a legitimate explanation? Pathetic.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

I think it all starts with Schwartz.

I mean look at Jim Schwartz. He was the Titan's defensive coordinator when they developed their dirty reputation. And look at Cortland Finnegan, the Titans DB. Schwartz coached that guy. Did anyone see the altercation between Finnegan and Andre Johnson? Fucking disgusting, AND WITH THE HELMET RIPPING OFF.

here's the video:

Schwartz's prodigy...

I'm sure there are other incidents. There are. Schwart's reaction to the Harbaugh's pat on the back was way over the line. And the chippy game with the Bears was another example of Schwartz swearing at the refs, and advocating dirty play. After Stafford grabbed a player by the helemt, Schwartz's comments after the game were of indifference.

I don't know if Suh's behavior are truly his own actions, or if Schwartz is encouraging him to hurt players. But ripping helmets off is more than just "playing past the whistle." That's a crock of shit. You don't go for someone's head unless you want to maliciously hurt them. Ripping helmets off, torquing someone into the ground by their head - these are all things that can result in career-ending injuries. These are all actions that can result in serious injuries like paralysis or coma.

Suh is a sack of shit, and I hope he gets suspended for the rest of the regular season. The guy has ripped off a number of player's helmets in extracurricular play. That shit should come with a 40,000 fine, then a suspension, then expulsion from the league if it is blatant and intentional.

And look, I'm not against hitting and physicality. I think some of the new rules really suck. I think the passers get way too much protection, and there have been numerous tackles this year that have resulted in fines when they looked like good clean hits to me. Football is physical, and I love the monster hits along with everyone else. But there is a difference between a clean monster hit, and ripping someone's helmet off or driving their head to the ground with clear intentions to hurt them.

Suh's dismissive response is the same reaction you see from wife beaters, child abusers, and serial killers. It shows lack of understanding and empathy and borders on antisocial. Serious cognitive dissonance there. Again - I don't know how much of that comes down to Suh or if Suh is just doing what Schwartz has coached him to do.

But Suh is still a sack of shit.

Not only is his 'dirty player' reputation cemented, but I hope the guy gets fined and suspended til the end of the season.

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

I guess the irony in all this is that the Lions still suck. They are hugely overrated, and they play a number of good teams down this final stretch.

I still believe we could see them go 9-7, or even 8-8, which is a far cry from their Super Bowl dreams when they had that 5-0 stretch at the beginning of the season. The past few weeks have really STFU Lion's fans.

The Lions play a heated Saints team, a rising Vikings team, the Raiders, the Chargers, and the Packers again.

The Saints and Chargers won't be pushovers and can put up huge offensive points. The Vikings will bring the division rivalry. The Raiders may be a challenge as they are on the up and up. And I have to imagine after today's game, even if the Packers clinch a first-round-bye-home-field playoff berth, they will still play with passion reserved for giant cunts like Jim Schwartz.

Teams with the type of frenetic energy the Lions have who can't stay composed never do well. Jim Schwartz is being paid big bucks to COMPOSE his team. That doesn't just include calling plays and managing the clock: that includes managing your players. I didn't see Schwartz talk with Suh after he was ejected; he said a few passing words, and yelled at the refs.

The sad thing is that there is real talent on that team. Even Suh. If Schwartz redirected that energy towards positive, composed football, they could be a real good team.


Edit: Bond, how is the local news coverage on the Packers? In Chicago on our Bears-biased TV news, they are even ripping into the Lions and Suh. Talking about how today was the "one day out of the year to root for the Packers." How is your media addressing the whole situation?

Re: NFL 2011-2012
 

The local media outlets have actually just been reporting what happened and then providing commentary from national writers and announcers. No local commentary yet, but that might come later. Honestly, the media here doesn't like reporting on any negative event associated with the Packers, so it might not receive as much attention. Focus is more-so on being 11-0.

However, there was this gem from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

:ohreilly:


I'm going to try Jehova up some Witnesses here.

This Sunday is the 99th Grey Cup, in Vancouver. The BC Lions are in said Grey Cup. BC place holds roughly 60,000 people. I forsee it being a 50,000+ home field advantage.



I advise you 'Muricans to watch this Grey Cup game, despite the fact your laughable brand of Football is also usually on on Sundays.
