Jacobs always says crazy stuff he has said worse and he is right about Green Bay's offense they are more dangerous, the other stuff I don't agree with though.

What's more funny are the Giselle comments on her husbands receivers they are playing on ESPN, even though it is caught by what looks like a cell phone she pretty much shouts it clear, she was pissed they couldn't catch the ball!

I dunno. They beat a clearly overmatched Tebow and Brady was outplayed by Flacco before the Ravens choked it away. They made the Super Bowl closer than I thought it would be though. They just seem to be frauds to be honest, not because of cheating, but because they skate by during the regular season on maximizing the minimal talent on their roster and the effort of a good QB but when they face real tough teams, they'll lose more often than not imo.

Riding the Brady gravy train harder then ever. This team had no business playing in the Super Bowl they got lucky the Tebows won from the beat up Steelers and that Tebow isn't a good quarterback, against a healthy Steelers team it probably would have gotten ugly (Uuuugggghhh).

And one kick from a drunk Kundiff won them the other game.

They had a soft schedule this year so they finished with a great record. They are turning in the Colts, everything is dependent from Brady and nobody else. In 08 they finished 11-5 without Brady but that team was a whole lot better than the team is today and if Brady gets injured again this team will pick in the top 10 in the next draft. BB will still be able to coach this team to some victories so they won't be a total trainwreck like the Colts, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Is it weird to think that a long period of succes like the Colts and Patriots have had, in a way hurt them because they always pick low in the draft? Sure the picks haven't been great, but picking 20-32 is must be harder then picking 1-20.

Speaking Greg Jones, wasn't he predicted to go in the first in Gaf mock draft only to fall to like round 6 in real life? lol

We should do a GAF mock draft in the new thread. And then another in March. And another in April.

Because that's the only way the thread will reach two pages.
 
Was it Costas that was interviewing Coughlin and referred to Belichick as his mentor? I thought that was weird.

Pretty much. Peyton has been a huge bandaid on wounds that need stitches. When you have a few amazing players with amazing talent, surrounded by people who are "good enough" or flat terrible...it's gonna catch up to you sooner or later.

Not going to be depressed anymore!

Ravens are going to resign Rice, Lardarius, and Grubbs, everyone else can walk for all I care.

Going to sign Mario Williams, Vincent Jackson, and Brent Grimes.

Torrey Smith and Jimmy Smith are going to take big leaps next year.

Pernell McPhee is going to be a stud.

Getting positive! I mean how can I not when the Orioles just traded Jeremy Guthrie for Jason Hammell and Matt Lindstrom! World Series!!!!

Ravens already trolled the fuck out of Cleveland by stealing their team, now they should go for the title of all time trolls by stealing Peyton from Indy.

I would not look forward to playing the Ravens with a real qb. Even a gimped Peyton has got to be better than Flacco.
 
Draft is a lottery drafting high doesn't mean shit if you dont get the right guy, same thing applies to 20-32. If you can knock it out the park scouting wise you can land tons of talent still

I think that logic works better in the NBA than it does in the NFL. From what I've seen there, if you're not in the top 3 or 5, you're pretty much fucked. The Pacers have been right at the middle for years and because of that, they get good to pretty good players and stay right where they have been.

The Colts had plenty of opportunities to improve over the past few years just where they were but had some unfortunate draft picks that altered later draft needs and led to a spiral. Peyton getting hurt brought that out more than anything. I don't think the NFL has the NBA problem of being in the middle to bottom really hurts you over periods of time. Actually, given the "any given Sunday" mentality in the NFL, you're doing something fucking right if you keep getting to the playoffs because you never know when you'll get on that hot streak. I mean, the years the Colts won the Super Bowl, they did well in the regular season but were not the "dominant" team that everyone thought they were. The other year they got there, they actually were but made some mistakes in the big game.

And as jak notes, you don't get the right guy and you're fucked. The Lions struggled mightily for years being at the top of the draft because they kept missing.

That team still includes Joe Flacco. Depressing.

This. Where's that graphic showing how many players weed on the roster from each round on the pats/giants? Pretty much speaks for itself.

Whats up with the Eagles hate?

They had a better point differential than the Giants, and were .500 overall, one game behind the Giants. If they get some actual WRs and are able to do a better job keeping Vick up right they really should be the division favorites going into next season.

I think they'll win the division next year and it'll be by at least 2 games.

I think Vick is going to have serious longevity problems. He's already having a bunch of injury issues and it's not just because his O-line is horrible, it's going to happen if you play as a running QB in the NFL. Big, tough RBs don't last more than 5 good years, much less skinny QB that run the way he does.

I have the same concern for Cam Newton. As much as I love what he did for my fantasy team, he's not going to be able to do it for a long time to come.

For a well balanced game, sounds really weird. The way the teams are constructed any of the three teams mentioned can be offensively explosive.

It was weird, but it's Jacobs. You have to consider the source.

the 2 point conversion with the 11 point chance for the defense was the only interesting thing about that game.

Loved that and I think the NFL should put something in like that. Not 11 points but maybe 6 or 4 or something. Always seems weird when you see a guy pick off a 2 point try and start running, everybody else watches and then the refs take a couple seconds to blow it dead.

Definitely.

I'd rather be picking in that area, then in the top 10-15. First of all, you're a bad team to begin with, so you need "impact" players and end up going for high ceiling guys that have questionable floors.

At least in the back half, last third, you get quality players, maybe they have lower upsides but their floors aren't that low, you're a better team too so there's no rush to develop them. These top 15 guys are sometimes raw, need time to develop but are thrown into the fire because there's no else on the roster.

Steelers are the staple, no question about it. Pats have drafted better the last couple of years though. Lots of young talent on the OL.
 
7. The Boston-New York Rivalry Is Better Than Ever

Know this: I hate New York fans more than ever before.

Readers always ask me, "How can you complain about sports ever again after seven Boston titles in nine years? How can you be so spoiled?" Are you kidding me? I hate the Giants and Jets. I hate the Lakers. I hate the Yankees. That's my Mount Rushmore of sports hatred. (Sorry, Colts, you got bumped.) I want those four teams to suffer as much as I want my own teams to prevail. And you know what else? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I hate the Giants the most. There's nothing worse than a team having your number, and even worse, having their fans flashing you those shit-eating smirks or sending you those shit-eating "pretending to be diplomatic but not really" e-mails. If I could pick one revenge win for a Boston team, it's not even close — I want to see the Patriots beat the Giants in a Super Bowl before I die. Nothing will ever top the 2004 ALCS for revenge purposes; that was an eight-decade superiority complex (and 86 years of baggage) getting flipped in less than 100 hours. But this is close.

If you're scoring at home, the Giants stopped the Patriots from (A) finishing 19-0, (B) winning five Super Bowls, (C) being remembered for one the best football runs ever, (D) employing the most successful quarterback of all time, and (E) employing the most successful football coach of all time. They did this while flipping the New York/Boston rivalry back firmly in New York's favor and creating just a smidge of anti-Brady sentiment back home now (we'll get to this), putting the Brady/Belichick era in a fascinating place historically. Despite winning three Super Bowls, they somehow need a fourth or Patriots fans — the same people who rooted for football's Clippers for four solid decades and never in a million years thought the words "Patriots" and "dynasty" could ever appear in a sentence next to each other — will feel like the Brady/Belichick era never reached its full potential. The Giants made this happen. And to a lesser extent, so did the Jets — without them, Spygate never happens, and neither does that "You've never won anything since Spygate" crap, which technically isn't crap because it's true. I will not be visiting New York anytime soon.

I'm seeing some people complain about this on Twitter. I don't get it, everybody deals with it differently, Brady went home to cry out on his super models wife her shoulders and Gronk went out to party balls to the walls.

Both ways of dealing with something like this are cool with me, when I had a shitty day I usually go with the Gronk approach, but that also because I don't have a supermodel wife.

I didn't read the article because deadspin is for idiots, but where did he go? There was a Patriots party at the Indianapolis Indians field. If he was there and people are making a big deal out of this...deadspin lol
