Are you ready for some football??? da sticky

I\'m not even saying that.  I\'m just saying, I don\'t abandon my team.

This is also what I\'m saying.  Chiefs fans have no right to make fun of the Pats when they aren\'t even in the playoffs.

I took my abuse when they lost to the Steelers, and I even admit they\'re a better team, they have the best record.  Doesn\'t mean I won\'t be rooting for the Pats, no?

Because no one likes you and never have.
Duh!

Oh and uhm.
Yeah, we blew big time Sunday. I got bored and almost fell asleep. God did the Colts suck Sunday.

on the 1st series when colts went 3 and out..i had a gut feeling that this was going to be a repeat of last year...and it was. even tho the colts did play some good defense,..ultimately...the pats own them...i wanted to see manning and co..beat the pats this time around...with the points they were puttin\' up all season..i thought they were gonna rewrite history there for a minute...

don\'t be surprised if atlanta upsets the eagles...they played extremely well when they played the rams....

But the Rams are NOT the eagles.  The Eagles won\'t allow those big special team plays.  The Eagles defense won\'t allow the Falcons to run all over them with ease.  The Eagles offense will be able to put up some nice numbers against Atlanta.

The only wildcard:  A pending snowstorm/blizzard looming over the east coast for this weekend.  I don\'t know weather patterns or anything like that, all I know is what people are talking about on the Eagles message board, which is very contrary to what local reports are showing.  Only time will tell...but if we do get this snow, I fear the worst for the Eagles:(

yea, cuz if the Eagles didn\'t have stonehands already snow sure as hell wouldn\'t help them, but I\'m off this weekend for foosball, GO STEELERS and GO FALCONS, F-Boston

Last Saturday I kept telling my boy that if the Steelers fall behind late Roethalphabet would make a rookie mistake trying to catch up and cost them the game. I would have been right if Herman Edwards didn\'t start playing to not lose the game. He did the same thing that Marty Schottenheimer did. I don\'t know how you can have the ball in field goal range  and not at least try to drive the ball closer to the endzone. When you have a first down with under a minute to go you use at least two of those plays trying to get another first down you don\'t dive up the middle on three consecutive plays.

i didn\'t see all of that game..but if herman edwards did what you\'re saying..i can see where he was comin from...better to just try and get some solid yards on the ground instead of riskin\' a costly interception...but if you are in that situation, i feel you should at least take ONE shot in the air to catch the D off guard if they are expecting run...meh from what i\'ve heard tho is that the jets lost because they missed two "doable" <-------is that a word? FG\'s

[Viper_Fujax]

neither the chargers or the jets had to go through the air. Both of them just put 3 runs up the middle for maybe a yard combined. Chargers have LT, they do a sweep play even when the D knows it and they still can get 5 yards. Same with Curtis Martin and the jets.

Plus the jets did that kneel down right before to negate the 1 yard they gained in the first 2 runs. Plus theyre in Pittsburge where the farthest FG all year was like 48 with the winds in the stadium. And the chargers stayed 42 yards away despite a rookie kicker, rainy weather, crappy ground...only difference is that the jets kicker sucks.

Doable is not a word.

No it isn\'t.

Abandoning them like...say...only defending them when they\'re winning, but not when they need it, after a loss?

This is also what I\'m saying.  Chiefs fans have no right to make fun of the Pats when they aren\'t even in the playoffs.

Everyone has the \'right\' to say whatever they want.  And besides, we aren\'t taking shots at the Pats as much as at the fact that you disappeared when they lost, and didn\'t come back til they got a big win.

Hey, if I followed that same philosophy, would I have been talking about the Giants all year, and defending the decision to play Eli through all the losses?  No.

It\'s a city similar to Buffalo

the hell it is
i\'ve been to buffalo

The fact is,  Peyton Manning is just as bad as McChoke when it comes to the playoffs.  Whats his record?  3-4 in the postseason?

Whats worst,  is he bombs in the biggest games.  42-0 to the Jets a couple of years ago in the playoffs.  4 pics vs the Patriots in the NFC championship last year.

I\'ll take Kurt Warner (5-2 all time postseason) when he was at St. Louis anyday over Manning in the postseason.  How about him coming back from 20+ down @New Orleans only to have his kick returner muff a punt to destroy all chances of a come behind win.  How about coming back from 17-3 in the superbowl to tie it with a rushing TD and a passing TD only to have his defense blow it in the last 2 minutes.  If his defense doesnt blow it the game goes to overtime,  Warner gets the ball scores and he gets his second superbowl MVP.  

Laugh if you want,  but I\'m sure people would take Tom Brady etc over Peyton in the playoffs.

And yeah, I\'d take this year\'s Manning over Warner at any point in his career in a heart beat.
 

Playoff QBs :  Warner, Brady, Montana,  Aikman,  Bradshaw

Non-Playoff QBs: Marino,   P. Manning, Kelly, McNabb,  Bulger

I knew the Colts wouldnt win,  but I expected it to be close.  Once again Manning proves he cant perform when it matters.  This is worst then that 40-0 thrashing he took a few years ago. At least then people werent praising him as the best QB ever.  Because of that game,  the only thing we will remember about Manning this year in the future is that he threw 49 TDs when they changed (enforced if you will) the illegal contact rule.

You know, I have a life outside these forums.  In fact, I was defending them weeks after they had lost saying that Brady always plays like crap against the Dolphins.  I don\'t have to report the inner workings of my life to these forums, I come and go as I please.

And yes, everyone does have the right to say what they want.  Now whether their argument means anything that\'s another question.  Post like, "I hate the Pats" really have nothing backing them up since no one says why they dislike them.

I don\'t want to hear any crap about being a fair weather fan, where was GmanJoe the past few years, that\'s exactly what I thought.

Me? Please. I\'ve always replied with "GO STEELERS" and tried not to make a fool of myself like you. I\'m not  a cheerleader like you, ya little pansy.

Steelers gonna win it all this year, guys.
