They signed him just before their playoff game. I couldn't tell if he got any playing time or not last week. That probably means he didn't, though CBS's illustrious announce team would never have picked up on it anyway if he did.

Poteat was called for a holding penalty on his only defensive snap.
didn't Marino say "How many playoff games have you won?"
Asking about Super Bowls wouldn't have made much sense since they both played in one.
If I was Boomer, my response to ""How many playoff games have you won?" would have been, "more than I lost."

Well, if Peyton is this gen's Marino, then who's this gen's Boomer? Jake Plummer? Kerry Collins?

exactly.
boomer had NO fucking sense to say that right in front of Dan. Marino was thirty times the fucking QB Boomer ever was. i still say peyton will win at least one before his career is over. he's just too good not too.
or, maybe i just have to believe that, since i loved marino so much. i think he is the best QB of all time(stfu, don't argue with me, i know no one else agrees with me =p), and it killed me that he never won one. maybe i'm just rooting for peyton so far i wanna believe it.
just to sum up what me and one of my best friends think on the whole thing:
Lennon713 (4:03:38 PM): colts!!!...lol
Lennon713 (4:03:48 PM): these ppl on around the horn are idiots
Lennon713 (4:04:00 PM): the colts had like 30 rushing yards..THATS IT
Lennon713 (4:04:17 PM): its a blizzard what do u want manning to do
AngryGodOfJebus (5:04:04 PM): lol...yeah. wasn't manning's fault. pats are just a better team. in the dome it's a 30+ shoot out
AngryGodOfJebus (9:37:35 PM): wasn't even manning's fault. dropped passes, 3rd and 11 from NE's own 6...
AngryGodOfJebus (9:37:46 PM): i wanted to see pitt and the colts
Lennon713 (9:38:11 PM): not at all..manning played the same as brady did really..only brady didnt have to do much cause they ran for 200 yards
AngryGodOfJebus (9:38:18 PM): lol
Lennon713 (9:38:23 PM): Colts would have picked the steelers apart
Lennon713 (9:38:30 PM): if the weather was nice
AngryGodOfJebus (9:38:36 PM): as long as there's no snow
AngryGodOfJebus (9:38:40 PM): lol, right
Lennon713 (9:54:38 PM): well now since we gotta root for the colts..we revisit our pain with Marino
Lennon713 (9:55:09 PM): everyone blames Marino...yet what the fuck..its snowing..playing a team much better all around..and u cant run the ball for shit..wtf u guys want?
Lennon713 (9:56:04 PM): u can run the fake slant "out/in" so many times with stokley on Troy brown...but pats kept their safties deep all game..and they STILL couldnt run
Lennon713 (9:56:33 PM): colts are all about PA...no play action in that game...
Lennon713 (9:58:50 PM): in the dome it would have been different...so ppl could blame the colts d instead..o well
Lennon713 (10:00:04 PM): Marino had to outlast the bills rein in the 90s...and when the bills faded, Jimmy Johnson came in and took everything on the O away, so he fucked em anyways
AngryGodOfJebus (10:00:21 PM): he was so pissed at boomer
Lennon713 (10:00:37 PM): i thought he gave him a compliment
Lennon713 (10:00:45 PM): cant do it all by yourself
Lennon713 (10:00:54 PM): seems like more of a compliment
Lennon713 (10:01:07 PM): Sharpe was the idiot
AngryGodOfJebus (10:01:11 PM): man i hate sharpe
Lennon713 (10:01:48 PM): manning played like shit..he didnt do anything..where was he?...does this guy even understand football?
Lennon713 (10:01:54 PM): Sharpe: i catch passes
Lennon713 (10:09:12 PM): everyone saying manning cant win the big one..lol, pats have won 20 straight at home..pats were 14-2 this year..they were 14-2 last year..it was a blizzard both times..WHAT THE FUCK ARE U GUYS TALKING ABOUT
Lennon713 (10:09:15 PM): jesus christ
AngryGodOfJebus (10:10:26 PM): no fucking joke
AngryGodOfJebus (10:10:40 PM): i thought he got rid of that last year when he won a playoff game
AngryGodOfJebus (10:11:05 PM): pats were a better team all around...that's it
Lennon713 (10:11:51 PM): spank the broncos both times...unstoppable against the 13-3 cheifs at KC.....thats not enough..gotta beat the pats..well sorry...with a blizzard in the cold, Manning cant just sling it all over the field and save his "good" team..not great team
Lennon713 (10:12:43 PM): colts had to run the ball..colts had to force TOs..thats what a slugfest is in those conditions..colts cant do that..enough
Lennon713 (10:13:21 PM): well shit, im not even a colt fan..but ppl are so fucking stupid
Lennon713 (10:13:25 PM): i got the same shit with Marino
:lol that's our point...indy just isn't good enough to play out doors. indoors i like them over any team in the NFL. homefield either this year or last they would go on to the superbowl.
but they weren't good enough overall. the better teams always get past them.
though, i would say i'd take the colts over the jets if the jets had advanced and had to play the colts in indy...but that didn't happen, so it's a moot point.
again, it depends on the weather. we still right now don't know what the weather would be like on sunday.
but now, you have me rooting for evil incarnate, the pats. damn you. damn you to hell.

when you have to say "it depends on the weather", you know your team isn't that good to begin with.

what a retarded statement. only eagles fans could make me root for a team i generally dislike (falcons). here i have a similar statement:
man i was scared that the falcons would lose to the eagles this sunday until i saw the eagles record in NFC championship games over the past 3 years. thank god
FrenchMovieTheme

no bandwagon buddy! i'm not claiming to be a fan of anyone in the playoffs, i would just enjoy seeing the eagles choke again as they do every year 
come on, even as an eagles fan you must see the humor in a team losing 4 straight nfc title games.
p.s. if the falcons and steelers make it to the superbowl, i won't be rooting for the falcons! however if the pats and falcons make it... falcons IT IS! and if the pats and eagles make it... go eagles!

also duce, lets see you man-up and actually show your face if the eagles lose. looked like you were pretty absent for a long period after the eagles were embarrassed at home the last couple years
Being from around Philly, I am afraid of what would happen if Philly losses. Everyone seems to be terrified of them losing in Philly (understandable). The city might just snap at the same time and do something crazy.
Oh and Philly fans may never pass Detroit for being the worst in the country, but they made a damn fine attempt by spitting on Culpepper's wife. Fucking scum. I know most Eagles fans are not like that, but this is exactly why I cheer for the OTHER PA team. You can love your team and not be a total jackass.
P.S. Duce you better not blame that behavior on people from "South Jersey" like all Philly fans seem to do. :lol Granted it does seem the worst kind of scum at the Vet did seem to live in South Jersey, but some of them must have lived in Philly too.

Just look at the state of the pregrame show on fox. Too many injokes and laughter and not enough analysis. Can't go 5 minutes before Howie and Baldie start joking and laughing about their latest Sprint commercial.

I got completely sick of the pre-game shows last year, that resulted in me seeing maybe about 10% of them this year. And you know what? I don't miss any of them. I do watch the last half hour of the monday night one just to catch jacked up, otherwise they all can suck my left nut.

True that. I missed Jacked Up this past week. Did they show that one hit Micheal Lewis laid on that Minnesota guy? Micheal Lewis is learning a lot from Brian Dawkins.

as well as 2 QB's who did nothing but choke in NFC championship games throughout their careers. wouldn't it be funny if vick did in his first try what mcnabb couldn't do in 4 tries (3 at home)?
Falcons and Patriots in the superbowl
Patriots win...
BY THE WAY....
Anyone care to get a Superbowl Pool going?
I could set it up, or I could get someone else to hold the cash, or whatever. However you guys want to do it. All I know is that you'll have to have a paypal account to participate. Also, you'll have to transfer either 5 bucks straight from your paypal account, or pay however much extra it'd be to cover the credit card charges they put on. Anyway, um, well, I'll figure it out soon enough.
My idea right now is 5 bucks per square, but I don't know if we could get 50-100 people buying 1-2 squares. We'll see though, I'll guage interest and proceed after this weekends games if I think it'll work.
For the purposes of knowing which square you'd want, I've filled in the boxes with A-J and 1-10. Enjoy.

"Get your Tom Brady asshat TODAY FRIENDS!"
tom brady is a joke. i'm tired of that whole fraud team. i can't wait until they lose and gashprex disappears from NFL threads until the next time the patriots are in an afc championship again
DMczaf said:Gashprex is John Madden?!
"I heard Tom Brady's sweat cures HIV! What a man!"
I heard Tom Brady created HIV!
It is strange how few Patriots fans there seem to be. They might be the least popular Superbowl team of all time. Especially for a team that won twice in three years.
P.S. It was Drew Fuckin Bledsoe that beat the Steelers in the last AFC Championship where they met, without Drew as his backup the Pats the doomed.

the pats are a joke not because of their on-field play, but because of their retarded off-field attitude. "WE A TEAM! OOOH WE UNDADOGS GENST THE COLTS!"
wtf are they saying this week? that they're still the underdogs even though they're favored on the road? please. i thought it was kind of cool when they were introduced as a team against the rams in that superbowl, but now it's just fucking annoying and stupid. GOOD DAY TO YOU PATRIOTS! YOU LOSE TOMORROW!

Lets all pray for a repeat of that game.
Whether you like it or not....Jordan is on the Steelers side.
"Accept me as your Lord and Savior, bionic. Stop the hate"
Way too many Steelers fans here.
Pats will play better than any of you believe they can. Keep on discrediting them, calling them the least popular superbowl winner of all time. I really dont care about that. This team was dogshit for 40 years, and now they're about to become a dynasty.
May the best team win.

PFTH! JORDAN IS ON THE SIDE OF DESTINY!
What number did Jordan wear besides 23 and 45?
THAT's RIGHT! #12!
"# Michael Jordan was once forced to wear number 12 for the Chicago Bulls (instead of the famous 23) because his jersey went missing before a match."
"Wrong Michael, sorry, you lose."
"Sorry Small Fry, you are not the one."
"Not today, DMac"
"I got your back Mike. In return, I will get the Celtics ownership to sell you the team"
