    I love the portion of the thread where UMFan argues to himself for a couple of hours.
  2. SpongeWorthy
    And there was definitely a part during the trophy presentation yesterday where the crowd was very, very hesitant to give him any sort of ovation when Tomlin or someone handed him the AFC championship trophy. Even Steelers fans know he's a big time creep.
  3. SpongeWorthy
    Kind of an easy position to take when you just fabricate the part about Big Ben being regarded as a hero out of thin air. There may be a few dopes out there who talk (somewhat correctly) about how Big Ben just wins games or whatever but pretty much everyone considers him a creep don't they?

    I remember saying that in 2006 Yeah, if you guys want a laugh...read some of the training camp reports from 2007. We should've put up 40 points a game based on them.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    Did you guys see Mark Sanchez wildly outplay every other QB that took the field today
  12. SpongeWorthy
    We should've picked up some scrap heap punter midseason or so and cut Maynard. I can't believe he's one of the 32 best people in the entire world at punting.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    And yeah, I've been a huge Maynard hater over the years but he basically got his act together over the last half of the season until today. This is low hanging fruit that needs to be corrected. The hidden yardage in the punting game today was hugely in GBs favor.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    I'm wondering what games (esp. against GB) you've been watching where a good WR would be a nice luxury and not an urgent, gaping need. It's a huge, huge problem. Hester has caught like 2 balls for 30 odd yards or something against the Packers this season. Knox isn't much better.

    Aren't all knee ligament tears basically called knee sprains until the MRI comes in?
  16. SpongeWorthy
    The offense will continue to be a disjointed mess as long as Jay isn't throwing perfect balls through one foot windows to these midget WRs who are utterly incapable of getting separation against good DBs who are paying attention.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    Sanchez just chop blocked his all pro center out of the game.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    I distinctly remember a play on one of the next series where Raji "hit" Hanie in the helmet with his and it wasn't called. It would've been an incredibly lame call but right by the book. The idea that these helmet to helmet hits on the QB (or anyone else) are always by the book and never missed just isn't accurate. They frequently let them slide because it's the only way to make the play in the shortest amount of time. Happens all the damn time.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    Except when it's not called which happens all the time.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    That was some of the dumbest goal line play calling by the Jets I've ever seen.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    The grounding was questionable but didn't wind up hurting them. The helmet to helmet was a valid call. Valid by the book. I didn't really see how Peppers could've avoided it without taking himself out of the play.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    So I was at a bar with the volume not at as loud as it should've been, would I be way off base to say the refs were terrible? What did you guys think of those grounding calls and the helmet to helmet by Pep on Rodgers?
  23. SpongeWorthy
    We haven't done "quite well" in the era when a QB actually had to complete passes down field on a consistent basis. Even today we're smoke and mirrors and balls out effort by the defense just to stay in the game. The Bears basically have to play closer to their A game than any other good to elite team to win against other good teams.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Impressive effort. Too bad he doesn't have the skill for impact. not sure if serious at some point i would've split Forte out wide on all pass plays. he's the only one that can get open with consistency Very serious. Nice player but no impact. Well he's not a home run hitter but he and a Jennings looked like the best offensive players on the field by far.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    I see what you're saying but he did a lot of turning short gains into biggish plays the last half of the season. I was really down on him last year, and he's not gonna blow you away with his athleticism, but he's been pretty damn good.
