Knighton was a beast once again.
Broncos played so poorly on O that it wiped out what they did against Lynch. Made the Seahawks one dimensional and they still got whipped.
I love Pepper Johnson as DL coach for the Bills. He's been in that division for ages, and he knows the weaknesses and how to exploit our DL, valuable insight. You want to fix your run D problems, hire a guy who coached against your guys and knows what they looked to exploit. Have to fix that run D, it's abysmal.

If you sell out against the run and lose by 40...no one probably should care.
Saints tried this in the regular season, and I'm pretty sure Atlanta did in the playoffs as well. You can't just go all-in run defense against us because Wilson WILL burn you when you do so.

I for one am glad we can cut that bum Cam Newton and instead pay Greg Hardy $300 million.
Just go resign Jimmy Clausen for a bag of skittles and we're set. Championship baby!

You know what sucks?
When the only worse sport's town than you, Atlanta, is Cleveland. When you're a solid #2 in this department it sucks hardcore. :|
PS: I just started Unepic on the Wii U and give it a thumbs up!

So what happens to Champ Bailey? Injured for most of the season, invisible for the rest, 35 years old.
They really didn't sell out though.
Locked it up without giving much up in the back end.
Wilson didnt do much. Game was over at half time. You guys are acting like he dimed all over the Broncos in the first half.
Just like you can say that a QB who goes through his progressions and spreads the ball around to many receivers opens up the field and is hard to defend against.
I agree with you but there isn't just one correct formula to win, and specifically there isn't just one type of QB that can be great. That is why coaches that adapt to the players they have and the opponents they face are so valuable, and everyone else is a Kubiak. Certain coaches in the league need specific personnel or they fail horribly, other coaches can at least put together a decent team no matter what hand they are dealt.

Great defensive performance yesterday but as I stated a couple pages ago, not the best ever. I remember as a kid watching the 85 Bears and being in awe. Completely dismantled teams
72% comp with 8+ YPA? Did you miss those third downs he completed?
The only reason you say Wilson didn't do much was because our defense just did that much more.

Lynch was googled up but Denver was burned on sweeps and Russel options

What's this?! There's some rumblings Houston is interested In HoHoyer and would be willing to give a 2nd or 3rd for him. Reported on espn Cleveland radio today. Just a rumor
Some perspective
Also take in to account the rules changes over the past 5 years that have allowed offenses to break every record known to man year after year. Makes it more impressive.
Bring him to Pittsburgh and start him across from Ike!
9-14 with 94 yards or so in the first half, you know when the Broncos were actually invested in stopping the run.
He didn't do much, wasn't asked to, padded numbers in second half and Denver helped with the missed tackles.
Saw that on Twitter. Seriously, the rumors will get crazier and more outrageous until the draft.
thanks, you people!

Happy Birthday, Greg!
The ending was awesome though, and I enjoyed the last few areas quite a bit.
I thought it was just me! Everyone couldn't stop gushing about it but I found the gameplay to be very shallow and not that rewarding. I ended up coming around on the game somewhat because I enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first but I definitely think it's overrated. I guess a lot of people enjoyed the gimmick of taking pictures of stuff and seeing it in the world but I got tired of it super fast. MM is definitely a style over substance developer.

I don't know that I ever thought that this Seahawks defense was the best to ever play the game, just that that performance last night might have been the best individual defensive performance.
I didn't know they were that close to some of the best all time defenses though. For them to even be close to those other teams considering how much more ridiculously handicapped the defense is in this era is really impressive and might actually give them a fighting shot in an argument for best ever.

Congrats on being a year closer to your death Greg!
Did last night really happen? What a fucking boring game. Might as well have watched a Browns thursday night game.

Speaking of games, OlliOlli is incredibly good.
It was also a lot easier to play pass defense in 2000.

And man the league was really shitty that year. Fucking Kerry Collins played in the Superbowl...

It's one of those games that gets better and better as you play it, not because you are unlocking upgrades or anything artificial like that, but simply because you are becoming more and more competent with the mechanics. It's very rewarding in that sense.

I agree. I came upon that picture during a debate at work. Last night was stunning and an incredible defensive performance, but that doesn't mean they were the best defense ever.

The way Seattle played last night definitely puts them in that conversation. That said, I'm more likely to think that a great offense will win a Super Bowl than a great defense. Great defenses are really hard to put together. I certainly wouldn't even bank on Seattle repeating necessarily. They feel a lot less fraudulent than last years Ravens though.
I'd also pay Wilson more than Flacco.

this is just sad
but happy bday greg!
I wonder if any qb in a 16 game format will have get sacked as much as David Carr did in 2002. Also fuck the Texans, man looking at the box score for our game just makes me all kinds of salty again.
David Carr 3-10 33 yards
James Allen 13 rushes 19 yards
Johnathan Wells 10 rushes 12 yards
Steelers 422 total yards
Texans 47 total yards
Final Score
Texans 24- Steelers 6
Fuck you Mech.
We were 14 pt favorites for the game too

People suffer under the delusion that the Texans have a talented roster.

We would've won yesterday as well. The NFC is just heads and shoulders above the shit hole that is the AFC. Next year is going to be super interesting in the NFC. Its gonna be even more of a meat grinder.

The entire NFC West probably could have beaten the AFC this year.

That 49ers team was not the same team to end the year, not the same team at all.
that shit hole led by Joe Flacco beat you lolz
just a reminder if you've quarantined that nightmare in your memory.

Oh no the Ravens were led by God that year, they couldn't lose even if every army combined was led against them.
And fuck Kap.
Oh so teams just stay consistent all year? What was the point of your original comment in the first place then?
Ben then Brady.

Yeah I don't think the Super Bowl will be as good as the NFC Conference Championship game anytime soon. The AFC is complete trash but man am I excited for our divisional games this year!
While that was the most boring Super Bowl imaginable for all but chicken fans, I thank the chickens for solidifying my faith that an elite defense and mediocre play at QB is enough to win it all. This is the mold the Cards are in and we're right there. This will be the most excited and optimistic I've been entering a season since Warner retired. For now, bring on FA and then the draft!

People keep saying move him to safety but you need someone that can come over and hit a guy and knock the ball out. Champ cant hit at all. I really dont know what they can do with him.
