What's worse is it contained all the failed urine samples from the Bengals.
Your avatar. LOL. You've lost it bro.
That was really just awful coaching on the touchdown. Wilson is like any athlete first, QB second. His deep ball is exceptional but he struggles with accuracy and timing routes. So what do the Pats do? Fall asleep deep, man under and let a guy get behind them. That's like the one situation where a soft zone would have made all the sense in the world.
I don't mean conservative in the traditional sense I guess. If you watch all the games, it's been the same show for a few years now. They are light on the line, but effective now against the run. I almost think the defensive backs are being told to play a particular style to make up for their shortcomings. It's pretty strange overall.
Ez, Phins/Jets has been a rivalry for ages. Not relevant to anyone outside of the two organizations, I agree on that, but relevant for us and them. I know I will always hate that franchise with a passion. Surely, you have a smiliar foe? A team not relevant anymore but you somehow always hate everything about them.
Slo, he wants me to take a shot at you. This is clearly a softball to hammer the ineptness and irrelevance of the Vikings. I want you to know that I won't take the gift. I will not make fun of the complete and utter ambivalence all of America has towards your beloved Vikings. I'm better than that.
The secondary just isn't good..couple that with an inept offense down the stretch of games and you start racking up L's.
Oh but you did win, we all won yesterday...I would have settled for 82 yards passing and a win yesterday
lol, none of the people who pretend to give a shit about the Bengals in this family even knew what the score was.

Indeed, I've always had a bitter hatred for the Jets regardless of how good the Dolphins or Jets were that year.
That is the obvious part. It's the way they are being told to play. They all keep doing the same foolish things, so I doubt every one of their instincts is to play back to the ball.

Thank god! It was all a nightmare!
They aren't being taught to get beat over the top. That is for sure. I already know the defense stinks. I'm more disappointed in the offense especially Brady yesterday. They aren't getting it done at the end of games and putting it on the defense and we all know how that works out.
They're playing a lot of split safety coverage the last few years, more zone this year, so it's a matter of keeping everything in front of them and not getting beat over the top. I think they're fine with teams having to dink and dunk their way to 3 points, not about yards but points. But they keep giving up big plays, and it's not just this week. Players are just not doing what they're told to do.
We laugh at Alex Smith and some of his ints yesterday, but I was finally glad to see a CB not vacate his position because he was being flooded. All year long we've watched the Niners complete wheel routes because DBs are playing the seam threat. Smith thought that shit was automatic until a DB stayed home.

Think the Giants were coached not to respect the deep threat?
I think it's a bit of both still, primarily the player's skill sets prevent them from doing much else. Only time will tell. Baby steps.

The Colts' Super Bowl loss crushed Mr. Snrub. He never reliably posted in here since.
Five-ish years ago I got tickets at the 35 yard line, sixth row behind the Packers bench for the Viking game. $400/ticket.

The winner of the Pats/Jets game wins the East.

Crazy talk. The Patriots will win it regardless, and if they do lose it then the Dolphins will take it.
Rolle certainly played that way, dude didn't give a fuck and it cost him later in the game, but the damage was already done.
Giants were disciplined, think that was the biggest difference.
Easier? No. Less expensive? Probably in most places. My tickets for the Colts game weren't cheap though. They were like $300 a pop.
Yeah, I don't think it's that clear either. Pats play worse than expected, Jets play as bad as expected, Dolphins play better than expected. In the end, I'd probably still say Pats>Jets>Dolphins, but it's close.
Whole division sucks this year. I just hope the NFC West doesn't sweep us.
I just figured for years it was probably easier flying to Detroit to see the Packers.
It's nice hearing some Hawks with balls for a change.
Wilson ending every interview with 'Go Hawks' is famazing too. The overall feeling of the team and attitude is so much better under Carrol than Holmgren.

I think the Patriots will still win it but if they dont I think the Jets will.
Im not sold on the Dolphins and lol Bills.
That doesn't seem easier than driving to Green Bay. Detroit is annoying as fuck to get to from Wisconsin.
It's always been easier to go to a Bears game than a Packers game though if you are in the SE.
I just assumed flying. Is it pretty steep?

I don't blame you on not being sold on the Dolphins but they have definitely been more consistent than the Bills or Jets. I hesitate to say more than that though, I firmly believe they will crash and burn if I accidentally get my hopes up slightly.
I'm never sold on the Sanchez led Jets, though. Never ever.

It's cheaper to drive from Detroit to GB than it is to fly.

Yeah. Been surprised that people are paying so much attention to their deep guys. Smith needs time to hit them.
Make sure to stop in Kalamazoo, MI at the Bell's Brewery.

If the Pats lose this week They are most likely dead.

Why are people so weak about losing?
As long as your team is not the Browns or Raiders they will turn it around eventually (and it is possible the Browns might turn it around in the next 10 years if they can ever find a qb). That is the beauty of football.
I wouldn't go that far. The Pats lost all 3 50/50 games which can bite them in the ass at the end of the Day. I think the Fins are better than the Jets. There are 3 teams above .500 right now in the AFC...all I know is they are the weaker conference without question.
