His bit on NFLN was really funny.
What'd I miss? Just his bit with Rich Eisen?

Goodnight Sweet Prince
According to Simmons they handled the Hernandez murder situation perfectly.

I missed the game last night, was the ravens D that bad or Manning that great? Or a little of both?
Edit: Yikes, starting watching the highlights and the D looked like shit.

Both. Manning took advantage of a terrible Ravens defense.

Ravens D was ok until a blown call on a Wes Welker catch (it clearly hit the ground and should have been challenged). At that point the Ravens were up 17-14 and actually should have been up more if not for a dropped TD pass by Dallas Clark.
But from that point on Manning went nuts and ate the Ravens soul.
Best Larry is back!
No offense, but he wasn't used correctly as well as having a terrible dc in Philly.
Why u mad tho?
Team was solid before Manning. He does raise all boats, but the talent was there before him in a lot of positions.
Reminds me of
Brees record 5476 yards 657 attempts
Pad Statford 2012 - 4967 yards on 727 attempts.
Or like those games between Brady and Henne?
Where Brady threw for something like 500 yards?

I've always liked the dude. Seems down to earth.
I'll admit that none of the players on D were used correctly the past two seasons. We had a clown show.
But effort, tackling, and coverage skills aren't scheme. I actually wouldn't have minded if we kept both DRC and or Nnamdi (at reduced prices) because maybe under a new regime they could have been revived. But some effort related things are very questionable with him.
I actually remember some Cardinals fans telling me when we acquired him ... " he can be great WHEN he wants to be". Maybe in Denver he wants to.
So were the Colts. The year before Manning sat out the whole season they won their usual 11+ games. I am just wondering what I would have done as a GM and or Owner. Tough call. Manning has come back strong and makes almost any team he is on a legit SB contender.

I don't get why players say such stupid things. Why give the opponent anything for motivation. Give em the ol Peyton answer! "Well gosh I think Cam is great! He is agreat competitor and I love to watch him play...but not against me of course!"...stupid chuckle laugh...
The past is the past.
I still can't believe we called a fucking rollout on 4th and Goal from the 1 yard line...smh Chud
Yeah. Brady only did that once. Dat 99 yard Welker TD. He did throw 5 TD's in half against some team in the playoffs. That was more impressive.
If you believe that Andrew Luck can be a franchise QB, then it's a no brainer. I think Irsay made the right call. The team won 10 games in 2010, but that was almost entirely on Manning. Seeing that Anthony Gonzalez, Austin Collie, Joseph Addai, and the rest of the castoffs have barely found work since being cut, it's clear that the team was just old and not good enough. If you're going to fire your GM and reboot the franchise, it would have made no sense to keep Manning at his insanely high salary when you could draft Luck on the cheap and have him grow with the new pieces you add.
He is in a contract year. I've heard no complaints about him at all this year.
Thomas had what a 60-70 yard TD last night? Hardly trying to pad stats, can't blame him for executing an aggressive game plan in the second half by Gase.
That 5 TDs wasn't nearly as impressive as pitching 17 out there against the Giants. Excuse me, 14 points.
Why did you leave out Stafford`s 2011 stats where he dropped 5,000+ yards 40+ TDs etc. at the age of 23, all while leading the Lions to a playoff berth for the first time in a decade?
Stafford had his #2,3,4 WRs out with no running game to speak of last year. Makes his stats even more impressive.
Yeah Chud, what a fucking moron. Designs a play that gets two receivers wide open for days but has the audacity to think Cam can complete a pass.
Just hand the ball off, laptop.
True. I won't even bother to put up Manning vs Pats stats in the playoffs before Polian cried his way to changing the rules for Colts / Manning.
Yeah I forgot about that 2011 season where Brady padded his stats for:
5,235 yards, over 611 attempts and 39 TDs.
Not to mention that 2007 season with 4800+ yards and 50 TDs.
That's Drew Brees level shit.
Tuck rule, now go crawl back into your troll hole.

Yeah, Cam should have hit the pass no question. But the playcall was dumb. You have a 6'5" 240 lb wrecking ball and you need one yard to get into the endzone. All Cam has to do is fall forward and it's a TD. Chud had some innovative play designs, but he always seemed to tinker too much rather than play to the roster's strengths.

Peyton lost to Buttfumble before Brady did.

To be honest this is the only thing that bothered me about Marino as well. I mean, I'm sure it's about skill sometimes but some of those crazy years? Come on man, at least try not to make it completely obvious.
I've always appreciated guys like Sanchez and Cassell for their modest stats. We know you're an NFL QB, you don't have to flaunt it...
The play was right, Cam didn't execute. Cam fucked up the pass, why do you think he wouldn't fuck up the run? Seems like you're assuming a whole lot from Just Losez.
I fucking despise Polian, especially his later years with us.
But a Pats fans crying about this shit is more irony than I could take. Lol.

Can we call Cam laptop from now on please? What an amazing nickname.
Are you real or are you an internet posting bot?
I'm assuming just as much as you are.

Yep, that was me talking about DRC back when we traded for Kolb. He has loads of talent and had speed but was always immature and had motivational issues. After he was injured in the divisional round against the Saints in Warner's final year, he became a complete bitch that shies away from contact and forgot how to tackle. This fear and hesitation will prevent him from ever being great and his motivation is what keeps him from being a viable starter. Maybe playing for a contender in Denver will change the latter aspect but he definitely needs to prove it before anyone assumes anything.

A player in a contract year is performing well? NO WAI
Comparing Brady stat padding to me talking about Stafford throwing basically the most pass attempts ever to wind up with 20 tds and 17 INT's lol and far less yards than other with way more attempts.

But they both lost!
Buttfumble has defeated Palmer, Rivers, Brady, and Manning in the playoffs. Those games made me believe he could at least be Trent Dilfer...but he's not even that.

They tried both zone and man to man, not sure how else they could have used him. He has a ton of skill but he is amazingly non-physical. It will be interesting to see how he does on a SB team.
I'm assuming that it will be a reason why he performs well versus that of other years. Plus it's a bit of a different ship being ran here versus those other teams. I guess if that's too obvious and deserves a smart ass comment then so be it.
They are both stat padders with nothing to show for it so far. At least Stafford doesn't take himself too seriously and has a good time doing it. Plus he's still young so he might actually end up with a championship which Brady will never have.
So youre the type that wants to beat up the mentally ill when no one is watching?
Exactly. I hope you're placed on a psyche hold soon Jaknuseless.
I guess I'll have to settle for the Pats and Brady having 100+ more wins than losses together. Those are the breaks.
