I'm torn who to root for in the AFC game
I want to see the Saints win the Super Bowl, and I’d like them to face the Jets.
If the Vikings win tonight, I’d rather see them lose to the Colts in the Super Bowl.

have a nice run game. Slide motion right, run counter back to the left. They always seem to outnumber the defense

Jets Colts
Entertaining game so far, unlike most NFL games these days.
Kind of odd Caldwell didn’t go for two there after getting the TD to get to 17-12. He seems kinda dumb. Or maybe I’m wrong.
Jets look to be running out the clock rather than trying to score with 1+ minute left in the half here. Questionable as well.
Boy do I love to watch a real running game like Shottenheimer calls after all Garrett’s annoying delays. For the Colts Peyton is ridiculously good.
Way too early to go for two.
The Colts aren’t exactly scrubs on the offensive side of the ball.
by TooLegitToQuit on Jan 24, 2010 3:34 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
They are playing way too non-home team advantage
Should gone for 4th and Goal from the 1 and shoulda gone for the 2pt. You gotta act like your the best team.
I still believe!
Huh?
I get the going for it on 4th and 1, but going for the 2 point conversion rather than kicking the XP isn’t acting like the best team…it is acting like you don’t think you’re going to score much more (or else that you think the other team is going to be putting up TDs, not FGs).
by Adam J. Morris on Jan 24, 2010 3:38 PM CST up reply actions
I just don't like the "Its too early comment"
They had the momentum back and I think a chance at down by 3 is worth being down by 5
I still believe!
Why?
At this point in the game, why does being up by 3 offer you that much of an advantage over being up 4?
by Adam J. Morris on Jan 24, 2010 3:41 PM CST up reply actions
Well
The 2 point thing is all about strategy right. You can choose to be down by 4, 3, or 5. 4 and 5 are a lot alike, so it just seems smart to go for two.
No big though. I’m sure the Colts subscribed to the too early theory.
No, because than you're chasing 1 point the rest of the game.
Take the gimme points.
by TooLegitToQuit on Jan 24, 2010 3:47 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Another
stupid football comment from Sharky. You don’t chase points. Only go for 2 when you absolutely have to. If they had missed and scored the TD, now it’s 18-17. Either go for 2 again, kick the PAT and be up 2, or risk being only up 1.

I'll bank on the NFL MVP scoring touchdowns than I would him only putting the team in FG position.
It’s not the end of the world to be down by 4 with shit tons of Football left to play.
by TooLegitToQuit on Jan 24, 2010 3:43 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Ego should not get in the way of smart playcalling.
Take the 3 points.
And don’t risk going for 2 just to get it to 3 late in the 1st Half.
The only way you go for it is if that score happened in the 4th quarter, not the 2nd quarter.

And Tom Moore was rehired as a “consultant”. Why is Moore seeming to be the active OC again? Peyton wanted him back midseason or something?

I have been
really surprised by Jim Caldwell this year. I don’t know exaclty what he does, but if he is making the big decisions, he has been pretty spot on all year. He seems to have no problem ignoring Manning and kicking FG’s or PAT’s when he feels it is the right thing to do.

Peyton Manning
Best NFL QB ever?
Here comes ’Bububu he needs to win more Super Bowls"
Nonsense I say.
Arguably.
Not my choice, but there a handful of guys I put in the argument and I can’t prove that any one of them isn’t the best ever. He’s in there.
Either Elway or Graham.
I go back and forth between my opinion of actual performance and what I perceive someone did with the talent around him and what actual talents I believe he had. Graham’s short career also hurts his case.
I’ll throw Montana, Unitas, Manning, Brady, Marino and Favre in there, with Tarkenton, Baugh, Young and Staubach very close.
x
I don’t see any legitimate argument for Staubach, Unitas, Tarkenton, or Baugh being the best of all time.
Manning, Marino, Montana, Brady, Young, Favre in that order, probably.
by brettgardner on Jan 24, 2010 5:03 PM CST up reply actions
I absolutely do Unitas.
He’d be third on my list, fairly comfortably. His efficiency compared to his era was remarkable (and I don’t mean with QB rating).
Hmm
I don’t pretend to understand every aspect of PFR’s advanced stats—or, accordingly, to put a great deal of stock in them—but according to the stats, Unitas had a few years where he was well above league average in completion % and TD%. Otherwise pretty average.
But I’m not sure that I even accept the premise. If we’re saying someone’s the best of all time, shouldn’t that mean he would be the best in any era?
by brettgardner on Jan 24, 2010 5:17 PM CST up reply actions
They have that Approximate Value thing that I find interesting.
It has him 9th, but I’d be lying if I said that had any bearing on my opinion.
Also, do you not subscribe to the idea of era-adjustments in baseball?
Well, explain
I absolutely do believe that when deciding hall of fame eligibility, you should look at contemporaries, but when comparing all-time greats, how could you do it if not by hypothetically placing them in some other era?
by brettgardner on Jan 24, 2010 6:02 PM CST up reply actions
I guess I don't know how you mean that.
Do you mean because his un-adjusted numbers don’t compare well to QBs who play a fairly different game? Or because you don’t think his physical tools would survive 40 years later?
I guess the latter
Which is why I would almost never think an older player was better than a similarly situated contemporary.
by brettgardner on Jan 24, 2010 6:07 PM CST up reply actions
Well, I honestly can't say you're wrong on that.
But I don’t think that’s the way people tend to look at it. Part of what makes modern players bigger, stronger and faster is advancements in training and medical technology. Unitas didn’t have that. Yes, Quincy Carter probably would have dominated the ‘58 Colts, but I’d rather judge players within their means, much the way we do with baseball.
I guess you said it best earlier
Overwhelmingly, guys in the pre-merger era just played a different game than the guys I mentioned. I think that obfuscates the comparison, so when making it, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the guys I mentioned.
by brettgardner on Jan 24, 2010 6:15 PM CST up reply actions
I could be convinced that comparing QBs accross eras and making "greatest ever" lists is completely idiotic.
I mean, I do it, but it wouldn’t be hard to tell me it’s a senseless waste of time.
And sure as hell no one will ever prove anyone else wrong or right even if we do.
Montana
is the best ever. Multiple Super Bowls, QB’ed the West Coast offense revolution. Great in the last 2 minutes. Still enough of a killer to lead a bad Chiefs team over the 49’ers team that won the Super Bowl later that year. Marino put up a bunch of empty numbers. Manning is the only guy close to Montana in my opinion.

No
I’m saying Montana helped revolutionize the pro passing game and lead the 49’ers to multiple Super Bowls. He has great talent around him, but he also was one of the best at the 2 minute drill
"calmer than you are dude" Walter (Big Lebowski)

No
because that QB most likely would not have had the necessary timing to run the offense the way Montana did.

It's really not
You just disagree so you think it is a horrible argument. Montana had very little arm strength, but had uncanny timing and accuracy. Some guys can run the West Coast, most can’t, and some are exceptional at it. Montana was exceptional.

No, it is a pretty horrible argument.
Where is some support for it to make it a little less horrible?
Here
For his career with the 49ers, Montana completed 2,929 of 4,600 passes for 35,142 yards with 244 touchdowns and 123 interceptions. He had 35 300-yard passing games including 7 in which he threw for over 400 yards. His career totals: 3,409 completions on 5,391 attempts, 273 touchdowns, 139 interceptions, and 40,551 yards passing. He also rushed for 1,676 yards and 20 touchdowns. When Montana retired, his career passer rating was 92.3, the highest all time; he has since been surpassed by his 49er successor Steve Young (96.8), as well as five other players – which now ranks his QB rating at 7th of all-time. Montana also had won 100 games faster than any other quarterback until surpassed by Tom Brady in 2008.33 His record as a starter was 117-47. His number 16 was retired by the 49ers on December 15, 1997 during halftime of the team’s game against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
Montana holds post-season records for most career touchdown passes (45), completions (460), passing yards (5,772), games with a passer rating over 100.0 (12) and games with 300+ passing yards (6, tied with Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner). In his four Super Bowls, Montana completed 83 of 122 passes for 1,142 yards and 11 touchdowns with no interceptions, earning him a passer rating of 127.8. Montana led his team to victory in each game, and is the only player ever to win three Super Bowl MVP awards. He played in eight Pro Bowls. Montana also holds the record for most passing yards on a Monday night game with 458 against the Los Angeles Rams in 1989.

In his four Super Bowls, Montana completed 83 of 122 passes for 1,142 yards and 11 touchdowns with no interceptions, earning him a passer rating of 127.8.

Better.
Still not that good, but not as bad.
You still use a lot of team-dependent stats and stuff like MVPs and Pro Bowls. That’s pretty silly, but it’s better than what you were doing.
And you'll note that I think Montana is a fine choice for the best QB of all time.
I’m just not a fan of hilarious arguments like “because he won four Super Bowls.” I like intelligent arguments.
"He has great talent around him, but he also was one of the best at the 2 minute drill"
how are those two opinions related by a “but?”
Well
Great talent means nothing if you can’t make plays when necessary. Do the Vikings make the NFC Championship game with T. Jackson still playing QB or did Favre make the difference because he can make plays when necessary?
"calmer than you are dude" Walter (Big Lebowski)
by Arlington Stadium Legend on Jan 24, 2010 6:06 PM CST up reply actions
Because Favre can run a 2-minute drill?
The talent doesn’t matter in the last two minutes?
You literally just argued that supporting cast is somewhat or completely irrelevant because of ability to run a 2-minute drill. You related those two pieces of opinion with the conjunction “but.”
Seriously
are you retarded? All the talent in the world doesn’t matter if a QB can’t get the ball to the guys. That is why Favre has the Vikings in the NFC Championship game and Montana always had the Niners in the Super Bowl.

Why?

by Adam J. Morris on Jan 24, 2010 7:01 PM CST up reply actions
That's another part of it.
I really don’t want to plea to authority, but a lot of people who I think know a thing or two about football and have been following it long enough to have followed Unitas also have him pretty high, usually top two at worst.
That doesn’t make them right, but I’m also not ready to just dismiss it.

The thing I kept hearing about why people wanted the Jets to win was “To get the Colts back for letting them in the playoffs serves em right lol”
I thought that was really stupid. Maybe you should have rooted for the Colts because they were so smart they let Jets in so they could play them later because they suck? How bout that.
For some reason I feel like Minnesota has a chance in game 2
It just seems like they have a really disruptive defense.
I know a lot of people want a Peyton-Favre SB.

Funny
I recall when the Pats and Colts met in their big showdown earlier this year, the announcers talked about how the running game was almost non existent for both teams. Two teams who have dominated the league for the last decade.
Yet somehow, when it comes to the Cowboys, every dumbarse armchair OC’s first solution is to run the ball on every down…why are the Cowboys somehow different from every other NFL team where the running game matters less and less?
Poor CBS postgame show
Aww, the poor widdle Jets didn’t win…
Prolly every one of the crew is crying inside…
Damn NY biased media.
From 2001-2006, I picked at least one participant in the Super Bowl right in the pre-season every year except 2000.
But save for maybe 2002, I’ve never gotten both right.
This year I picked Colts over Saints. Looked good all year and might be right now.
2000 I at least had the Ravens in the AFC Championship. I don’t pretend I knew what I was doing in 1998, but I did pick the Broncos to win, so that’s something. I’m pretty sure in 2002 I almost picked the Raiders but went with the Titans instead (but I did pick the Bucs to win).
I picked Pats-Cowboys three straight years and it was only half right once.

I often wonder how much of that is the actual talent of the player and how much is the talent of the coach and teammates.
The truth is somewhere in the middle, and varies from player to player, but part of the greatness in football is that things like that happen so often because of the intricacies of the game.

I like that I've gotten to watch three of the best QBs of my life time play in high-profile games today.
I think each has at one point been the best QB in the world.
Favre, Manning,
and Sanchez?
"calmer than you are dude" Walter (Big Lebowski)
by Arlington Stadium Legend on Jan 24, 2010 6:36 PM CST up reply actions
Yup.
Sanchez is something else. I love how he throws all those interceptions to lull teams in to thinking he’s just a rookie.
I can't decide
what I think Sancez is giong to be. Shows flashes of brilliance and flashes of a career of mediocrity. He did some impressive things today and I don’t put the INT fully on him to end the game.
"calmer than you are dude" Walter (Big Lebowski)
by Arlington Stadium Legend on Jan 24, 2010 6:40 PM CST up reply actions
I think he's going to be, at the very least, an above-average QB.
That’s a good thing. Not a franchise, but a good thing.
He’s got some brains and some physical talent. I don’t think he has the talent to be an elite, but I don’t think he’ll be easily replaceable.
Sanchez is talented
But there are some facets of the game he seriously struggles with. For instance, he has very poor pocket awareness. If not for the Jets having a fantastic O-line, he’d have been killed back there.
You do wonder
do they have staying power, or were they a flash in the pan this year

Titanic has become underrated.
It’s not the best movie ever, or even particularly close, but it’s well made. I’d prefer a more compelling romance, but technically it’s awesome and the hideous love scenes are surrounded by some legitimate thrills and character construction.
It was pretty overrated once upon a time, but I think the backlash has now sent it the other direction.
I find it crazy that the highest grossing movie of all-time will only finally be passed. . .
. . . by that exact same director’s next movie more than 10 years later.

Her body is oddly shaped, too.
No seriously

Or I dont think Kardashian is that attractive.
At least not in the face, which is what we’re talking about here.

Jenna Fisher I also think is overrated.
I assume because people like the Office and think Pam is cute. Not that she isn’t pretty, but she can’t possibly belong as high as people put her.
She is, however, much better looking than Kim Kardashian.
Yeah, she looked pretty good.
Great is a subjective term, but I wouldn’t use it.
Haven’t seen either movie, btw, so I might just be crazy.
Much prettier.
Joan Jett isn’t curvy enough and would have done better with long hair, but the face alone was pretty good. And much better than Kardashian.
I goggled Doherty and don’t see the resemblance in any way whatsoever, other than they have black hair and are girls.

Joe Buck seems to make up more statements that he treats as fact than any other announcer in the business.
“Favre, at times, has played psychologist for Adrian Peterson. . .” That might be true, but how do you know? WTF?
Or how he always calls Landetta “the best punter in NFL history at angling kicks,” but never states what makes this a fact. Where is this coming from?
And he just seems to do this shit way more than the rest.
I'm begging for a pick six from Favre to be that turnover.

I think a lot of things would be better.
Almost every single suggestion I’ve ever heard I think is better.
BC I don't want the Super Bowl decided by
a decent kick off return, a pass interference penalty, and a generous spot
maybe the vikings D shouldn't commit penalties
maybe the ST shouldn’t give up 40 yard kickoff returns
Obviously that's true
but it doesn’t change the fact that I don’t want to see the Super Bowl decided by it. The only good part about it, imo, is I enjoy watching game-winning FGs
small sample size.

How do you make that call?
Does he get forward progress, or should it be spotted where he regained control after it was knocked out of his hands?
Seems to me the latter.
has to be after he loses control
because it is a fumble
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Because say if he fumbled,
the spot would be where he recovered the fumble. So how can he get forward progress?
This game is a farce now, Refs handing it to saints

I tuned that one out early
This one was close all the way…
Going in I was slightly pro vikes but no strong feelings. As the game went on though I became really pro Vikes. They kept dominating and not getting rewarded. Plus Favre-Peyton SB woulda been great.
Plus it looks like the Vikes woulda had a way better chance in the SB after this game.

so, I’m biased, but I’m really excited to see the Saints in the Super Bowl.

Another example of what a terrible coach Brad Childress is, imo
how does favre throw 46 passes when AP is averaging 5 per
Favre should have thrown in more
Constant runs for 1-2 yards on 1/2nd down hurt the Vikes in this game.
Peterson was giving the ball away every other carry.

Until this decade, the Saints had never won a playoff game. Let alone been to a Super Bowl. The Rangers are much more like the Saints historically than the Mavericks.

I dont know what it is, statistically it’s the same, but it seems like a baseball championship is 10X harder to win than any other sport.
I guess it’s because of the payroll discrepancies, the fact that the Yanks and BoSox dominate by outbidding everybody. But thats not all of it because small teams do win the WS. Still seems so hard.

Even though statistically it is, it seems eons apart.
Maybe it’s just because of such consistent Rangers losing.

More teams qualify for the playoffs in every other league and play short seasons. And while baseball, having money is a competitive advantage, in all other leagues, parity is a feature.

the Vikings and Farve choke away a win. Breaking a huddle with 12 guys when you are barely in FG range with 20 seconds left? Then throwing the ball for a pick instead of tucking it and running when you could have easily picked up a few yards and called your last TO.
I hope that was the last pass Favre ever makes. Now retire you megalomaniac fuck.

not sure Aikman makes top 10. An extraordinarily average QB on a great team.

Maybe a little above average.
He was perfect for the type of timing passing game they ran. He had a strong, accurate arm and he was able to trust his receivers. He had a strong will and didn’t wilt under pressure situations that come almost every game being a Cowboy quarterback and from being in the playoffs quite often. That probably set him apart, his mental ability to play the game. A very underrated quality, especially as a Cowboy quarterback.

What's funny
about his much reputed massive accuracy, is that you don’t really see it in his career stats. His 3.0% interception rate isn’t that much different than the wild gunslinging interception machine, Brett Favre (3.2%), and his completion rate is less than Favre’s.
Aikman didn’t take many risks, and didn’t lose many games for the Cowboys, but he rarely led the team to comeback wins either. You rarely saw him put the team on his shoulder for a come from behind victory.
The greatness of the early 90s Cowboys, and they were great, had more to do with Emmitt, the offensive line, Irvin and that defense, especially Haley. The team had as good a record whether Aikman played or not, but when Emmitt was out, the team just floundered.

The offense started floundering
when the OLine started falling apart with Williams injury, and the team could no longer rely on their running attack. Once the passing game had to start carrying more of the weight of the offense, that was the end of the Cowboy Glory days.

According to an ESPN report earlier this month, Alabama NT Terrence Cody weighed “right around” 355 pounds on January 5.
In other words, Cody appears to have gained 15 pounds (he measured 6’4/370 at the Senior Bowl) in the last 20 days. Cody’s body appeared sloppy, to put it mildly, when he removed his shirt for Monday’s weigh-in. While weight fluctuation is a routine concern for clogging, nose-tackle types, Cody is already resembling a late-career Ted Washington at age

According to the Dallas Morning News, the “entire Cowboys contingent perked up” when Idaho OG Mike Iupati weighed in Monday at the Senior Bowl.
A guard in college, Iupati could probably play as many as four positions on the offensive line at the next level because of his impressive build and incredibly long arms. The Cowboys are especially needy at the tackle spots.

Someone I'll be paying attention to....
He’s got a second, third and fourth gear
The most impressive wideout on the North side was Clemson standout Jacoby Ford, who consistently was able to generate separation all afternoon. Ford is a former track star with elite explosion and vertical speed and does a great job eating up cushion off the snap and driving cornerbacks off his routes. He was the one guy who really seemed to intimidate opposing corners in coverage and consistently was able to find the football quickly and adjust to the throw. Ford looks capable of creating big plays for himself any time he’s on the field and has the makings of a legitimate slot threat.
Okay, so this is definitely a guy I hope we get
Clemson WR Jacoby Ford says he can guarantee he will run in the 4.2s at February’s Scouting Combine.
Sounds like Ford is gunning for Chris Johnson’s record. “I can guarantee a 4.2,” said the NCAA track star, who ran a 4.126 in high school. “Yes, sir. It’s just running.” The knock on Ford entering the Senior Bowl was that he doesn’t have as much speed in pads. But he’s been one of the top risers this week.
Its not pretty. Click at your own risk.

Kind of stuff I love to read about… from Michael Lombardi.. saying hold off on your judgement of Tebow
The Bucs were convinced, as all of America and most of the 49ers organization were, that Young was never going to be a pro-style passer.
When coach Bill Walsh asked his staff if they were in favor of making the trade for Young, there were no yes votes. I kid you not. Today, there will be revisionist history, but I was in the room, and Walsh had little support for making the trade other than his own instincts and vision for Young. This is what made Walsh brilliant. He was not hoping for Young to be a good player, he had a plan to make Young a good player. He saw the path and couldn’t have cared less if anyone else saw it. He was never afraid to stand alone in his opinions.
Hmm.
But is there any brilliant guy saying Tebow will be good?
