That would be the Steelers.

If the playoffs started today, we'd be the #1 seed.

 

[Trasher]

Yeah, right.

lol

GG Bronco-Gaf. Sorry about your Tebow woes.

Although I do hope we helped to put an end to that stupid-ass "Tebowing" shit.

But seriously, I started calling him the Dragon when he threw that "TD" to Megatron in the Bears game last year. And it just stuck.

On a side note: Drew Stanton is the Land Dragon for future reference Lions-gaf

His wings were clipped.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

It would have been better if the Steelers blew them out.


Fucking Steelers

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Pats offense sucked. It was also a great week to have no DB. How many 3rd and 10+ yards did the Steelers get with wide open passes over the middle. That slot DB they released might have helped SMH. Also fantastic onside kick with 3 timeouts and over 2 minutes left. Retards.

The best thing is Bodden is still receiving a gamecheck from the Pats.

 

[dschalter]

ryan gets so much airtime for a non-head coach.

 

[SKINNER!]

Such a terrific game (Lions/Broncos) to end my weekend. Gonna head to bed with a huge smile on my face

Lol, awesome nickname.

I'm pretty excited for this game.

Interested to see how the Rams play against the Cardinals, hopefully Bradford plays.

 

[Sanjuro]

Eventually the Pats need to commit to the running game. You draft two running backs so that they can sit on the bench. With the Law Firm they have a power running game, but they never use it. I just wish they would run more than they do, but it's not going to happen as long as Brady is under center. It's too tempting to pass every play. If they had a successful running game it would solve some of the protection problems they have had in the last few weeks.

Steelers played better. That is obvious so props to them. Heath Miller with 75 yards in half a quarter all wide open in the middle was LOL LOL. Pathetic.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Steelers executed perfectly today. They controlled the clock, exploited the Pats secondary, and kept Brady off the field. Their only mistake was that early interception.

 

[beast786]

 

[overcast]

He's got a gun!

 

[Fox318]

Trade Brady for Peterson.

 

[Tom Penny]

Not a fan of the shotgun spread and abandoning the run all the time? It's great idea. 3rd and longs are way better than 3rd and short !!!!

 

[red13th]

I hope the Broncos draft a serviceable QB next year.

 

[overcast]

The AFC playoff picture is awesome so far. Texans, Bengals, and Bills.

 

[TheFatOne]

I still think they make the playoffs.

I'm not so sure. Brady isn't playing at the same level as last season, and like I said earlier the NFL has figure out how to defend the Pats.

The best thing is Bodden is still receiving a gamecheck from the Pats.

The sad part is that this sounded like arrogant Belichick again. Arrington should have always been the slot guy, but for whatever reason he loves him on the outside. I have a feeling Bodden is going to play well for his new team as an outside corner. It sucks because you always hear and read that Belichick cut/trades people for the betterment of the team which isn't always the case.

They did a great job picking up the blitzes from the Pats. It seems like they picked up every blitz they called.

 

[Sanjuro]

Trade Brady for Peterson.

Fuck that. We can trade Brady to the Lions and pick up Barry Sanders contract!

 

[bob_arctor]

Actually, outside of the Pats losing, it sucked for us.

Buffalo, Cincinnati, Houston, Tennessee, Baltimore, Pittsburgh = win.
New England = loss.

Then again, maybe the division is the only option for the Jets this season.

Your cold and sound logic does nothing to wipe this grin off my face!

 

[cajunator]

LOL @ Everyone picking Aints in the Gaf league

I hate that shit. Nothing is ever a given and I warned everybody about this game.

Buahaha Plinko.

And gosh a couple of my picks didn't turn out well this week.

Ben Jarvis-Green Ellis has a pretty badass name, but that is about it.

 

[Godslay]

I hope the Broncos draft a serviceable QB next year.

I'm curious how this will work out. I don't follow Indy/Miami that close, but is it true about Peyton not wanting Indy to draft Luck? Likewise would Luck want to play for Miami? I heard he would hold out on certain teams. It's good that there is an Elway/Luck connection that goes back to Jack Elway/Oliver Luck but I'm not sure if it would matter.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Ben Jarvis-Green Ellis has a pretty badass name, but that is about it.

The Lawfirm is a real solid runner, and his running is a great compliment to this passing game. But now that Faulk is back he gets every snap...

You do realize you can't run the ball in empty set and shotgun formations 75% of the time. They do the shit all the time and it's exactly why they have been losing in the playoffs. Teams drop back 7 DB's like the Jets and Buffalo and they throw. Donkey ass OC.

Our running production is right smack in the middle of the league. Again, this is 2011. If you don't think this is a passing league then clearly that person is a Fantasy Football Pink-Hat.

 

[chuckddd]

I'm glad that LeBeau finally changed his strategy against the Pats. Non-stop man-to-man coverage and it worked great. Can't let Foote or Polumalu get stuck on a good receiver, though. I'm also glad that Carter and Sylvester saw action on the defense. Even if they didn't play great, they need pt.

And the offense. Never run again. This is Goodell's new NFL and passing every down works pretty well. Get better in the red zone, and the Steelers are set. The o-line played pretty well. If they can stay somewhat healthy, they'll be good enough.

That isn't why they are losing in the playoffs. Even if I try and lie to myself with that logic I would just sound silly.

 

[Slurmer]

because most of us could kick a 31 yard field goal, and expect pros to be able to do the same

I still won.

If you say so. I guess your the only one who thinks your fooling good defenses going empty set and shotgun formation the whole game eliminating any threat of the run or play action. They gave up 23 points and the D didn't even play good. The offense was atrocious. Bill Obrien sucks. Period.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

No way the Pats lose the to Giants at home.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I agree that it's a passing league so the balance will probably be 60% Passing - 40% running with Brady, but you still need to be able to run. They ran 12 times today, including the Hernandez end-around (Stupidest play ever), that makes no sense. Last year BJGE alone had 18 rushes for 87 yards against Pitt, I know they were in the lead that game, but down 10 in the first you can still run.

 

[TheFatOne]

What are these playcalls? Deep pass to Ocho? End around to Hernandez? I want a real OC.

It is what it is. I'm just hoping he can get better. He isn't as bad as he used to be, but he is still pretty terrible

It's a passing league, but the Pats have an immobile QB, and they don't have real outside threats. The Pats can be beaten, and you are starting to see the same type of schemes being used to beat them. Brady isn't getting as much time in the pocket because they aren't running, and that also hurts there play action game. They use that specifically to kill the Steelers in the past. It's not as effective when you aren't running the ball, and when you do it's a draw play out of the spread.

You don't need a running game if you have good WRs like the Packers. Spread works when you have the WRs the Pats don't have them.

What kind of answer is that? Let's go back to your logic. You are telling me that the Patriots losing against the Ravens and the Jets are because of the running game? Is that what you are telling me or did you misspeak?

John Fox will always be a loser.

Tebow does great, NBC says he's amazing.

Tebow does awful, NBC blames everyone else.

 

[goldlion054]

Bu...but what does that make Keiland Williams?!

We have to wait for him to earn the official Dragon title. But the time will come!

 

[Sanjuro]

Brady is the most mobile pocket passer I have ever seen play the game. Our defense is an issue. Our receiving core is still an issue. That wraps up our teams problems. The play calling could be better. I'm not sitting here making stupid excuses, the Steelers played a better game today.

 

[Godslay]

Tebow does great, NBC says he's amazing.

Tebow does awful, NBC blames everyone else.

Come on man, that's not what they said. They said Tebow played bad, but there are other problems as well.

John Fox will always be a loser.

I'm afraid so. I'm starting to think Elway has the pawns in place.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

So 49ers huh?

 

[Tom Penny]

What kind of answer is that? Let's go back to your logic. You are telling me that the Patriots losing against the Ravens and the Jets are because of the running game? Is that what you are telling me or did you misspeak?

They went 18-1 because of they're offense . A whole 14 points in the SB. They ran 16 times and threw 48. Baltimore was debacle. The Jets game they played nickel and dime the whole game and they never ran. They instead threw against it or had the awesome 10 minute drive with Woodhead as the primary back. O'brien is an idiot. Not sure what to tell you.

 

[ViperVisor]

The Denver O-Line gave up the 7 sacks according to Rodney Harrison.

 

[eznark]

We're all Eagles fans tonight.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The defense looks good at time but those times are few and far between.As for the receivers they need a clear #1.

My hope for the draft is they get a WR and a hybrid OLB/DE with the 2 1st rounders.

 

[beast786]

Love the hash at the end.
