NFL Week 17

[VanceJergins]

Somewhere Peyton Manning is crying. I love it.

I really don't think Peyton cares that much about the record. If he cared he would've played into the 4th quarter in those blowout games or played more in the last game of the season that year.

 

Good point.

 

Not really. It wasn't his choice to play or sit in those games. It's the coaches. Also he probably didn't think anybody would be approaching that record so soon.

 

So you don't think Peyton has any say? I'm going to have to be skeptical of that. I doubt Dungy would have let him launch the ball downfield late in the 4th quarter of blowouts like Brady, but I'm sure he could have played more if he really wanted to.

[nilodnayr]

WTF, that was the definition of pass interference.

[VanceJergins]

i don't know, i find it hard to hate a team that is just this awesome. i certainly don't love the Pats, but damn if they aren't amazing to watch

 

The first half was pretty crazy, but in the last 6 weeks or so they haven't been impressive at all. They've almost lost to the Eagles, Ravens, Jets, and Giants. They have a very unspectacular defense and I really think the Jaguars are going to knock them out of the playoffs in the 2nd round.

Marques Colston now has the most receptions of NFL player in his first two years....great feat considering that he missed 4 games to injury last year.

Not bad for a 7th round pick with 251 guys taken ahead of him. Considering his importance compared to Reggie Bush's at a fraction of the cost.

Drew Brees just set the NFL single season completion record with 419.

[shnsajax]

The Bears are absolutely determined to give the Saints 3 points before the half.

I love seeing the Saints hopes get crushed. Now I only have to root against the Cowboys.

Saints hopes? We didn't deserve to be a playoff team as crappy of a season as we had. I'm glad we lost, just moves us up higher in the draft.

[shnsajax]

Ugly weather in Washington, hope no one gets hurt.

[OleMissCub]

Patrick Willis now has the single season tackles record. His final rookie year stats: 174 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 4 passes defended.

 

BEAST.

He is flat out amazing.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

why oh why did i bench eli manning for the finals in fantasy football. :(

 

because he's a petulant, 12-year old looking punk?

 

How is he petulant, and how is he a punk? Other than be an average-good NFL QB that has helped lead his team to the playoffs in every year that he has been a fulltime starter, what has he done to make YOU dislike him so much? It seems that his greatest sin is that he isn't his brother.

 

"Boo Hoo! I don't WANT to play for San Diego! Daddy, make them stop drafting me!"

 

Your blind Ole Miss homerism makes you miss the fact that he is a whiny brat who sucks when the pressure is on.

 

That's fine and all, but your angst toward him makes it sound like he raped your wife or something.

 

My Ole Miss "homerism" doesn't blind me from thinking that it was a bitch move when he didn't want to go to the Chargers. He was crucified in local papers for it, as he should have been. However, he's not an arrogant person, he's never gotten into trouble, he doesn't run with a bad crowd, and he pretty much stays to himself. Truly an awful person who is to be loathed.

 

From my perspective, anyone who would want to play for the Gnats must be of questionable moral character. :D

And it's not as if Eli is the only person to ever hold out and say that he didn't want to play for the team that did or was likely to draft him.

[Post Count Padder]

Well Vikings are done. I hope the Titans can pull one out tonight.

[wekse]

well, it looks like the titans are going to sneak out of indy with a win...pretty ugly, but the titans are an ugly team....still, sad that they barely win whilst playing against the colts' reserves for most of the game.

[Flames24Rulz]

Well that kind of sucks. I would've much rather liked to see the Browns in the playoffs than the Titans. A Browns-Chargers matchup would've been amazing to watch.

[Derwood]

yeah, that blows. screw Tennesse, i would much rather have seen the Browns in there

[OleMissCub]

So now a QB has led his team to the playoffs with 9 TD's and 17 INT's....wow.

John Elway agrees.

I knew Vince Young was bad, but I just didn't realize he was that bad. I'll never understand why they put him on the Madden cover.
