Losing is losing. It hurts. Steelers won 2 Super Bowls in the last 10 years, but losing XLV still burns me to this day. I'm sure I don't have to bring up Leafs Bruins again.
I'll never shit on a guy that stands by his team win or lose though; in fact it's the one thing I actually respect about Tabris. Say what you will about the dude but he took his medicine.
Brother, I'm a Lion fan till I die. I got your back always. We will rise, and LionsGAF needs to stick together. We mustn't fight amongst ourselves we must use our energy against PackersGAF, BearsGAF and the rest of the doubters. We're cynical by nature but this team is in good hands with our management and our QB and the talent around him.
Restore the Roar 2014.

As much as Seattle dominated. Imagining them with Harrison smith and cordarlle Patterson is even scarier

Divisional round =/= first round.
It's been a while for you too. Since I experienced it with the Hawks twice in three years, would you like me to recap the feeling of winning a championship for you?

Yes. If healthy I think Percy is the better player, but you made it sound like it was a terrible trade. Percy came up huge in the SB today. If he can get healthy he is one of the best players in the NFL. Cordarelle could be great but it is hard to say after one season.
Damn and I was riding a high in 2011 when we finally made the playoffs. I miss those days.
Kas give us your current Mock draft for Detroit. 3 rounds is good enough, unless you feeling like mocking more rounds. You know what, you also have the the choice mocking two rounds. In fact, you can just ignore me and not mock draft at all.

Time for the Dolphins to win back to back offseason titles.
Don't. I still refuse to listen to or even watch a second of game 7. I change the channel if it's even discussed.
Manning is actually pointing at a mirror at the problem

Both Manning and Brady played their worst games when their teams needed them the most.
Pretty hard to make accurate throws when your o-line is letting you get pressured every down including being contacted too many times, or snapping the ball way before you have the play ready causing a safety.
It's not all on the o-line. Peyton usually can adapt faster and better, but couldn't this day. I was worried as soon as I didn't see him making that many changes at the line of scrimmage. He seemed neutered a bit today.

Have you ever seen him post in the NHL thread?
Not to mention, watching someone bounce around between two teams as they do well because "Manning brothers!" is ridiculous.
This is true.
If I didn't hate everything about your city, your team, and your quarterback, I would feel camaraderie with you over losing so badly.
4 months t'll the draft... Going to be a long off season.
I think Cordarrelle is going to be a really good player.

Check the OP.
Yeah I found a link:

Lions forum of all places. Must be used to this.
But hey Texans get an extra two weeks in the spring because we canned Kubiak!

You know the game is shitty when the two best things to happen on TV during the four hours was the half-time show and Joe Namath's coat. The ads weren't even that good this year.

He returned a kick off in a game that was 22-0 with a defense that was already dominating. Yeah it was a nice play and killed whatever morale was left for the Broncos but meh. He could have been home with a migraine as usual it would have been delaying the inevitable. The Seahawks still win that game.
If you want to be considered "special" and worth three picks and 60 million dollars you need to get your ass on the field for more than 39 combined snaps. Not that anyone in Seattle cares. They just won the Super Bowl, afterall which makes every decision their front office made the perfect one.
Everyone in Denver is taking there medicine, Tabris and myself included. Doesn't change the fact that I'll roll in here again supporting the Broncos. I'm immune to Superbowl losses at this point.
For as much as you have given Tabris a hard time, you have been twice the cunt as I have seen Tabris ever be. It's odd that he gets all the shit, when he lays it out as to what he likes plain and simple. Maybe I don't know him well enough in the hockey thread, but you have been a real asshole in this one.

Your days are coming Mech. Hang in there my friend.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with your statement here. It hurts bad man.

10. It hurt bad. I think every Patriot fan would feel that way. Losing Brady the next season hurt just as bad.

Earl Thomas only defensive free agent for sea.

If Kave says it, it must be true.

Haha, Godslay, I treated everyone in NHL-age like I treat Pats fans, so it's understandable
Combine that attitude + being a fan of the most hated team in NHL and it's a double whammy.
EDIT - NHL-age also has an issue letting go though and still make a big deal about me posting X/16 for each game we won during Stanley Cup back in 2011 (that's where most of the hate comes from, as I was being arrogant about it)
Yeah but in the next couple years all those rookie contracts will have to be renewed and Wilson gonna eat up that cap. Cant franchise tag everyone.

Yep, what Harvin did wasn't special. It was just another nail in the coffin.
Harvin won't see it that way though.

Most likely yes, but it is hard to say after one season, whereas Harvin has done it for multiple seasons. The question with Harvin is health. If he can stay healthy going forward he is a great player.

Yea Sherman and tussle going to get paid but Sa has proven they can draft in the later rounds.
I'm just going to hold off on assuming they give Wilson $18m/yr. One of these days a smart front office is going to realize you don't pay middle of the road QBs that money

Did Wilson hit the jackpot or what? He barely had to do anything in that game.

Exactly. If Eli was traded to the Dolphins tomorrow Tabris would jump from the Giants to the Fins. Stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Woof. Brutal game. Was at my bud's house who's a diehard Bronco fan, so it was pretty rough on him.
What a complete and utter dismantling. That's the most impressive defensive football performance on the biggest stage since the Buccaneers' win over the Raiders, IMO. Props to Seadderall. They brought the wood consistently.
That safety to start the game completely set the tone for Denver. You could tell they were more worried about mitigating mistakes than scoring points, which was a damn shame. A complete egg by the offense. If your defense stares down 3 consecutive red zone attempts in the 1st quarter like that, the offense needs to be able to respond in some way. I was gutted last year around this time; I imagine this is 30x worse.
Anyways, I'm just glad a defensive player won Super Bowl MVP. Offense could've scored 0 points, and they still would've won 16-8.
