Why would Phil Rivers drop out of the Pro Bowl...It's his second year and hes in the Pro Bowl. Tom Brady or Peyton manning didn't do that......Hopefully Romo drops out so Mike Vick can get his spot he was screwed out of.....1000 yards rushing (record), 2000+ passing, 20 TD ( Career High), and 4 TD in 2 games against 2 good teams (Career High). Tony Romo didn't sdeserve to go to the pro bowl....at least not over mike vick. P.S. Rashe Caldwells eyes are humongous....

Yes, because I said, in pure words, that Jabar Gaffney and Reggie Wayne were the exact same player in terms of talent. Come on...gotta have something besides that.

Jabar Gaffney put up stats with......DAVID CARR. But, on to what you said. Brady made Gaffney look like a pro bowler? He had back to back 100 yard games. That was more than he had all season. Props to him for playing great when it counted, but I never got him confused with Andre Johnson, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, or Chad Johnson.

Maybe I shouldn't have said Nahh, because me personally I knew about Wayne long before he broke out 3 or 4 years ago. My point was, the average NFL fan did not, just like your argument that noone knew who Jabar Gaffney was. Gaffney was sick in college. Probably should have stayed another year, and yeah he hasn't lived to expectations but who has with David Carr? David Carr isn't going to make a WR like a Peyton, Brady, or Brees is.

My point wasn't that Brady doesn't make his WR look better than they really are because he does, Brady is a top notch QB who a team would be lucky to have. It was more of a jab at you acting like Peyton doesn't do the same thing. See : Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokley, Dallas Clark, *insert any of his targets he's had here minus Harrison*

MTH, might have to do with who's coaching...

Tom Brady is Joe Montana. I dont know if anyone knows this or not.

Patriots fans always adjust there arguments to hate on Peyton Manning. Look up the past 3 NFL threads. First it was " Peyton Manning will never beat New England on the road ". So that happens and then its " Peyton Manning cant beat New England in the playoffs ". Then that happens and now they talk about " We'll Brady makes his recievers better and Manning doesnt " or " Manning cant win a Superbowl " like it matters to them if he does or doesnt all of a sudden. Patriots haters always have these arguments , most of which never carry any weight at all. Rediculous things like " Manning cant beat us in the playoffs " but he beat you twice in the regular season. Oh but now its different.

And if you say one thing bad about someone or something on the Patriots team, it immediatley comes back to " Peyton Manning cant win the big game " ALWAYS. Dont take my word for it. Look up the past NFL season threads. Its hilarious. Thats why this victory is so great. I love the fact that New England has lost all there " hater " arguments in the last couple of seasons.

My favorite argument is when they start yapping about how many rings they have then they note that Peyton has none. Its only about the " team " when we're talking about the Patriots, but when you talk about the Colts, its always " Peyton has no rings, Peyton cant win the big one , Peyton cant beat New England, Peyton Peyton Peyton". Again, proof is in the history. Go check it out. This is what New England fans do. They talk to no end about Peyton's post season difficulties, never once mentioning the other 52 men on the team, but when it comes to New England, not one person will mention how horrible Brady's last 2 post seasons have been. No we'll just blame the other 52 men on the team. Blame the recievers too. Patriot fans are just stupid.

I got news for you Patriot fan. If Manning wins this Superbowl, he's better then Brady. It doesnt matter if Brady has three rings to his one. Because rings are won by teams not players. Your argument has always been that Manning doesnt have the ring and Brady does. Nice. Well if Manning wins the Superbowl in 11 days, that argument is gone. He has the stats, he has the rings, he has the legacy. He has it all. So hold on to your Joe Montana comparisons like a breast fed baby holds onto his mothers tit. Cause thats all you'll have to fall back on. If the Colts win, Manning > Brady. How bout them apples?

Stokley caught a TD in the Superbowl before playing with Peyton, I'd say that was noteworthy :o

Wait, let me pretend I'm you for a moment.

"Where's your proof"

RP,

You're still bitter, it's really funny..

Joe Montana didn't win every playoff game he was in.

You are right that the whole team plays, however if you look at the big games they have lost Manning has always played very badly and it's expected for your stars to step up in the big games.

Sunday, Manning stepped up.

Everyone talks about Manning the same reason they talk about Brady or just about any QB, the QB is the leader of the team. Especially in Mannings case where he's one of the few if not the only QB in the league right now that calls his own plays.

So seriously, enjoy the experience, you may never make it again (it's been 20yrs since the Bears have been there).

Wait, I just realised what your doing... attacking Belichek, trying to make fun of Brady, talking about "team effort" and such... you're already making excuses incase the Colts don't beat the Bears a week from Sunday.

That's funny!

Enjoy the offseason.

It feels good to let out all that repressed frustration doesn't it?

Yes infact.

I feel what RP is saying. I've noticed the same trend too. People have an argument on Manning, he beats it down and they back up to the next argument.

How long did Patriots fans say Manning can't beat the Pats away, in the playoffs, or win a Superbowl? Now that he has done 2, and probably will have done the third, what will you say then? Manning hasn't won 3 or 4 Superbowls so the Colts aren't as good as the Pats? You can't just change your arguments to suit you.

Peyton Manning has all the ability in the world to win in any situation. He has proven it on all avenues except the Superbowl, and if he does it there too Patriots fans have nothing to say.

No one's changing arguments, until he won Sunday it wasn't an argument it was true, he couldn't win the big game, plain and simple. He's now over that hurdle.

If they win the superbowl will they be as good as the Patriots? They'll be better then this years Patriots, and last year the Colts beat the Pats in NE in their only meeting and both teams lost in the same round of the playoffs, so clearly you'd have to say the Colts were the better team in last year.

Now, are you asking if the Colts win the superbowl will they be as good as the 2002-2005 Patriots who won 3 superbowls in 4 years? Of course not.

7 teams (one of them twice) have won back-to-back championships.
2 teams have won 3 superbowls in 4 years.

So no, until the Colts win more then one superbowl I wouldn't call them a "Dynasty" or put them in the same category as those other teams.

Does that take away from winning a superbowl? Not in my opinion.

But, RP seems more interested in trying to make things up and take shots at the Patriots then talk about the Bears.

I'd like to see Manning get a ring, but if he doesn't I can't wait to hear RP's excuses...

Enjoy the Pro Bowl

Manning is a great QB obviously, but he has shown in the past that he lacks the ability to always show up in huge games. Obviously this years playoffs are a lot different but I don't think one year can erase the huge list of history he has (even dating back to college where he never lead Tennesse to a victory over their biggest rival Florida/Tennesse went on to win the National Championship the year after he graduated) Up until the AFC Champ game Manning has had some pretty horrible playoff performances this year..everyone talks about how bad Grossman is but Rex has just as many TD passes with 5 less INTS. But at the sametime the Colts are winning and that's all that really matters.

When the Red Sox won the World Series did that really erase all the choke jobs the Red Sox had in the past? Not really, it made them "hurt" a whole lot less but they are still there. I definetly know what it feels like to RP right now, but If the Bears win the Superbowl I also know how that feels too..since the Patriots where huge underdogs againest the Saints a few years back. I also reemed Dave Wadding about it for like 2 months afterwards, so I know what it feels like to do that too haha

But lets not get too ahead of ourselves, the Colts haven't won the Superbowl yet, I mean its great and all that they "exorcise the demons" or whatever and made it to the Superbowl after years of being the pick to make it, but they still got one more game to play. I think they'll win, but you never know UF alum Grossman could come out of no where and pull some shit out of his ass...Manning's never had good luck againest the Gators

Lets just say we had protection problems

Switching back for a second.

I still don't understamd why most of you didn't want to see Patriots and the Colts in the AFC championship Game. I understand wanting your team to be in, but other then that this would defintly be the most intersting game as it turned out to be.

Also this Colts/Patroits rivarly hasn't been beaten to death like the Yanks and the Sox, and is without a doubt the best rivarly in the NFL so I don't get why people are tired of it.

Uhh. lol. You talking about the regular season?

Manning - 31 TDs with 9 INTs
Grossman - 23 TDs with 20 INTs

If you're talking about the postseason, that's a pretty silly thing to argue. Peyton's played in one more game, against tougher competition, etc. etc.


But since Peyton doesn't produce in the postseason, I'd like to point out his stats in the postseason. 265/437 for 3,248 yards. 17 TDs and 14 INTs in 12 games. 6-6 in playoff games. He had 15 TDs and 8 INTs coming into this year by the way. In fact, he's performed very well minus a handful of those games, notably against the PATs in '03 and then against the Jets the year before and the two games this year. So, I know the whole argument is "He can't win the big game" which is pretty silly again to ignore all the good games he has including the playoffs and emphasize the few bad ones he's had. That's like saying that players should only show up for the big games. *insert Ricky Williams interview here*

Oh I'm not disagreeing with that at all, he hasn't, up until now really won a game in the "big game" atmosphere. I wouldn't compare the Colts to the Pats in terms of success just because they win one Superbowl or anything, but I just would think its ridiculous if Pats fans found something new to rag Peyton and the Colts about if they won.

Of course we're all having this conversation and knowing fate, the Bears will win or something. :rofl:

Naw. This is the Colts year. The less black coach will win.

Really he's had some really bad games, and some really good games (pretty sure he threw 5 TD passes in like a 42-0 win againest the Broncos couple years back) so his stats are pretty skewed going both ways. He has just gone from being a really great QB to an average one once the playoffs roll around...that's all I'm saying. Ignoring that is a bit silly too, obviously its not like he can't break out of this or something but the proof is there. Naturally I am a bit biased in this discussion too, but so aren't Manning fans so it goes both ways I guess.

I really hope with all this talk that Chicago comes out and beats the Colts, I personally can't see it happening but you never know.

I think it'll be one of the best Superbowls ever. I just have a feeling. I still think Indy will win because we have the legend Adam V, but it think Chicago will play some inspired football and make it a really close game.


Colts 31

Bears 27

This kills me though, cause all you Patriots fans have been arguing over the years is that its not about the stats, its about winning the big game. Thats all you guy's have said. When someone say's something about Manning being the best, its like " Oh Manning puts up all the stats, but he'll never win a big game like Brady ". Now he wins the big game and you wanna talk about stats all of a sudden? Get out of here with that shit man.

Let me just say this. In the Colts/Patriots game the other week, I felt Brady was the better QB. Sure his team lost, but he looked more composed and had much better zip on his ball.

I would agree as far as the first half goes, but the Colts and Peyton in the 2nd half played totally better than the Patriots team as a whole.

People talked about the stats a lot in previous seasons due to Manning putting up all type of gross numbers while still doing much in the post season (especially last season when it was handed to them by terrible calls and mistakes by the Steelers) During this same time, Brady's stats where Pro-bowl caliber but maybe not as impressive as Manning's overall. People then argued they'd still rather have Brady because of his sucess in the big games, to me, Brady is still a much better big game QB then Manning anyway...I mean Manning has just made it to his first Superbowl..I dunno the history is there.

Also, the stats coming into play for the playoff discussion just shows how average Manning has been in the playoffs in comparsion to his stellar play in the regular season. 17 TDS 14 INTS in the playoffs for a guy with 275 TDS 139 INTS in the regular season is kind of hard to ignore, not mention he has 1 TD pass with 5 INTS in the 2006 post season (while putting 31 TD and 9 INT during the entire regular season) Its not like Brady was winning big games while putting up Rex Grossman #'s or something, you know what I mean?

So while Manning has been able to shake his image of absolutely always losing the big game, the history is still there. I mean Marino made it to the Superbowl too and he is still known as the guy who never won the big one, so while beating the Patriots in the AFC Championship game may seem like a huge right now, it won't really mean much if the Colts don't win it all. I mean Colts should definetly win next Sunday but you never know.

Keep spinnin dawg

Not talking about the teams, just the QBs.

You eliminate the dropped passes and as far as I'm concerned, the Pats would have won. The throws were good. No faulting the QB oi
n them. Also not to crucifix Caldwell, because he's a go to guy and as far as I recall, it's the first time he's ever had the yips.

Anyway, QB to QB, Brady was the better.

So many long posts...gosh. Okay yea I think Rex Grossman can be good at times. But I dont think he will do good against the on fire Colts defense. Sorry to go a little bit off-topic but you Outlaw. You say you knew about Reggie Wayne 3-4 years before he broke out. Let me make this comment. Jerious Norwood will be a great Running Back. If he was starting he would be a Lawrence Moroney or Steven Jackson. I saw this in the Pre Season game against NE when he got like a 76 yard receiving TD.

I'm sorry but the 2nd half was all Manning..how can anyone even argue it. The clutch is what counts and he came through when iti counted.

We could split hairs but given the poor performance in the first half by Peyton, I think he totally redeemed himself coming back from a 21-6 defecit (sp?). He answered the call. I'm not taking anything away from Brady here because he played well too. The reason I give the edge to Peyton is because of the one crucial throw made by Brady that ended up ending the game, the INT. Sure, Peyton had a pick but it was early and they bounced back from it. I dunno.

Manning was better then Brady. Anyone who watched the game, or outside of New England knows this. I'm not sure how you could possibly argue that Brady was better then Manning in that game, but it dont matter.

Big game Tom has lost playoff games 2 years in a row cause of poor play and crucial interceptions. Oh crap shhh dont let anyone know that. He's suppose to be Joe Montana remember.

I do have to say I thought that INT by Brady was very uncharacteristic. I don't know if he didn't see the guy, but it initially looked like he tried to gun it in there. I don't know if anyone asked him about it in the press conferences but thats what it looked like to me.

Basically what Your Hero is saying that Brady was throwing the ball better, and that most of Tom Brady's passes looked real good unlike Payton Manning where most of his throws were wobbly and didn't look that good.

Not that it really matters though.

Yah, its the dumbest argument i've ever heard. Brady throws a better ball. So what. Manning has never thrown the prettiest ball. Manning played the 4th quarter with a bad thumb on his throwing hand. Manning led his team back from 18 points. Manning won that game. Brady had a chance and he choked. How can you possibly say Brady was the better QB?

BTW the dropped passes meant shit. The first one was canceled out cause Gafney caught a TD the next play. The second wasnt going no where reguardless cause Bathea was coming right towards him to make the stop. Brady didnt recognize Caldwell that wide open and neither one of them had any clue what to do with when he was so wide open. The fact that there was no saftey over the top and no one guarding him and Caldwell didnt run staight up the field? Brady didnt recognize that?? If that was Manning and Harrison or Wayne or Ricky Proehl for that matter. Manning would have had that ball hiked from the moment he stepped under center. So the who dropped ball, patriots would have won, argument is stupid. Sorry.

It was so obvious Manning was the better QB in that game. And Brady made the key mistakes. And quite frankly, its unacceptable to have a team up 18 points lose a game of that magnitude. Let alone that team having one Tom Brady as there QB. Now thats a choke job for you.

lol wow lotta pent up aggression for this guy.

Its pretty funny seeing how you called Charlie Weis "Lloyd Carr Jr" since he can't win the big game just like Lloyd Carr...when Lloyd Carr has won a National Championship. Now Manning finally wins the AFC Championship game and he is the greatest playoff QB of all time or something.

I really really hope the Bears somehow pull through and beat the Colts, I really can't see it happening but it will be one of the most hilarious thing to happen in the sports forum'

But yeah I'd say Manning out played Brady in the last game, neither of them really had a spectular game though.

LOL

Wow, whats really funny is that i fail to find any post where i said Manning was the greatest playoff QB ever. Were you channeling VEL in that post?

yes, even if Manning wins next Sunday Brady will still be compared to Joe Montana because of the multiple rings and the come back wins. Yes, even Joe Montana lost playoff games.



Of course he would have, but only after running into a phone booth changing into his cape and saving lois lane.

Maybe Manning would have, maybe not, you have no way of knowing, you're trying to predict fact on a hypothetical.

If he was it would be a post with quotes from you that you would claim were taken out of context and twisted, only to be followed up by other quotes from you where I ask you for your proof and you ignore, then followed up by claims of mine, with proof only for you to claim the proof isn't valid because the source is major Boston newspaper.

Really, enjoy the ride, you may never get back and yes, you need more then one superbowl win to be a "Dynasty".

Also, Stima's stats had everything to do with playoff performance, and your "it doesn't matter as long as you win the big game", Manning has won 1 big game, don't get over excited until he does it again.

And see thats what i'm talking about. Anytime someone makes a dumb argument against Manning and I post my reasons for why i think they're wrong, you Patriot fans come in here acting ( in your case actually saying ) like i'm some crazy fanatic who wants to hump Peyton Manning or something and you never quite argue against my statemens. Probably cause i'm right, you just go straight to the " Haha look at this loser, Peyton Manning sucks, I have three rings," bull shit. You cant possibly say, " Yah you're probably right ". Thats fine though. I dont expect that. But the whole " Well since i cant make a valid argument, i'll make a smug comment and post other examples of when of other arguments that have nothing to do with this one " Or as i now will call it, " The Lloyd Carr argument" is old and wore out bro. Stop trying to be funny and come with something logical. I'll designate that for you Patriots fan. Whenever i come in here and pretty much make sense of you not making sense, you have my permission to go to the Lloyd Carr argument. If we're talking about the Superbowl and i say something that you cant possibly post a reasonable retort to, Lloyd Carr Argument.


LOL

" Oh but but but but YOU SAID CHARLIE WEISS IS ANOTHER LLOYD CARR!!! "

Get lost loser.

:lol:

My " It doesnt matter as long as you win the big game" ????

LOL Let me go find the 2005 and 2004 NFL threads . Quick, go erase them so i dont totally make you look like a fucking moron. Wait i'm too late. You've already done that.

But Bellichek is coaching the Pro Bowl, so i guess the dynasty continues.

i hope we dont lose the superbowl.

On a related note, I will be quite displeased if the Cowboys sign Norv Turner as the head coach. Why are they even CONSIDERING him?

not sure if you're addressing me or stima. I never said manning sucks and if I did it was just to get you going.

Manning has always been a great QB, one of if not possible the best ever, he'll retire with almost every QB record, he's already a hall of famer etc... that being said, until last week, he couldn't seem to "win the big game" and yes, it is a complete team effort, but when you look at those games, the majority of the blame goes on mannings performance in those games.

I don't know why you keep trying to harp on this, and can't simply enjoy being in the superbowl, your patriot envy is really funny.

Yes, the pats won 3 superbowls in 4years, that's an nfl dynasty, what can't you understand about that?

You accused belicheck of being a poor loser, and then didn't back it up with anything.

When Polian was quoted by multiple sources for saying in the press box he hoped they broke doug fluties leg, you refused to believe it because it was in a Boston newspaper... of course, every Boston sports reporter is a huge patriots fan and would make stuff up to make polian look bad, the same nut job who this year grabed a sound guy before a jets game and bitched about the speakers being to close to the field.

You keep bringing up "brady is montana", yes, that's who he is compared to, same type of players and both have multiple rings.

Manning is compared to Marino, their two of the best QB of all time, possible the best two, but neither one has a super bowl ring. Manning may change that next week.

Ok, I'm done with this... so enjoy your superbowl and continue whatever sillyness you feel like making up.

RP look at your last few posts and ask yourself why I call you a crazy fanboy

Because Jerry Jones is running things again.

A better question is what type of coach do you expect to get if you sign the coaching staff before the coach.

My thought, Norv has experience, wont cost much and is good with QB and it will probably be a 1yr deal.

Belichecks contract is up next year, the rumor is the new one is ready but he wont sign it until his divorce is final, that being said... would it shock you if Jones is looking for a stop-gap hoping next year he can throw a ton of money at Belicheck or Pioli or both?

There's also rumors of one of them going to the Giants after next season.

My bet is they both stay put, they have a good team and a great owner who will spend money and stay hands off. The question becomes does one or both of them think they have a better chance of winning again soon with a young eli manning then an aging brady?

Its the NFL way, keep recycling coaches over and over. A coach fails with one team? Ahh fuck he goes to the TV booth for a few years then he is the greatest coach ever afterwards

1 Week from the Super Bowl and I cant wait. I really want the Colts to win but I wouldn't mind seeing another Super Bowl shuffle....and every year since like 2001 the Pats and Colts play and yet the Brady/Manning fued still goes on. I have a perfect way to settle this though.........

FLIP A COIN!! :)

Yes i've never backed it up with anything. I'm just totally out of line there. No one in the world things Bellichek is a poor loser. Not one person but me VEL. BTW



READ PASTS POSTS YOU STUPID ASSHOLE

Really you're a retard man. You dont read shit and come in here and make yourself look so fucking retarded. You sit there and say " RP doesnt even tell you how the Colts will win the game " then i have to go qoute pasts posts cause you are to fucking retarded to go back and read the thread that you havent posted in all year until now. You rather jump in at the end and completely talk out of your flaming ass. You have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. I imagine you sit there qouteing everything i say and thinking of smart witty ways you can break it down to make it look like everything i've said is wrong. The proof is in the threads. This is what you do. You qoute everything i say and find everything wrong in what i say ( which most of it makes perfect sense and is probably right ) . You are never wrong VEL never wrong at all. You are always right. And you're a retard. I can prove you wrong 10 times over and you'd qoute all 10 times and find something wrong in those qoutes. Atleast stima can make a smartass comment that is somewhat funny. You take yourself so seriously when trying to prove me wrong, that you come off like the most retarded person i've ever seen posting on these boards. If someone told you the sky is blue, your retort would look alot like this.



{ Von ErichLives } So basically what you're saying is that you dont like the sky. ~ insert witty retort on why i'm wrong ~



Then i sit here thinking...uhhh... What? This is what you've done pretty much every year. Sometimes you mix in a good point, but most of the time you're fucking dumb. Go read my pasts post about Bellichek. The guy practically looks like his wife died when he does a post game interview . He walks by Peyton Manning and Manning is offering his hand to him and Bellichek walks by him doing this jab in the stomach type handshake and doesnt even look him in the eye cause he's a fucking poor loser. Dont take my ( the tpww poster ) word for it. Open your damn eyes. Read what the national media says. ThEY SAY THE SAME THINGS.

Oh btw. I've still yet to hear one person outside of Boston ( or in Boston for that matter ) say anything about the Bill Polian comment. I'm pretty sure it would have been a big deal. Oh but i refuse to believe right? LOL Multiple sources in the press box. Very credible. Very very credible. Hey Bob Ryan is on Sports Reporters all the time and those guys are pretty damn opinionated. Why was nothing said about this? Give me a break dude. If he wasnt on tape, or he wasnt on TV or it wasnt even a formal interview for a magazine. It was just " Heard by Patriots press in the press box " and somehow it never gained national attention at all. Bob Ryan and Michael Smith, two well respected reporters who cover the Patriots did not make one mention of this at all. Not one. Not even while on TV. Not in one of there columns. Not one VEL. So please do me a favor and stfu.




{ Von ErichLives} So basically what you're saying is the Boston Tea Party never happend? ~ insert comeback~

And another thing. You know whats so hilarious to Colts fans in Indy. We dont compare Peyton Manning to anyone. We actually think we have the next Peyton Manning. We realise how great of a QB he is and that when he retires, he might be the best ever. And we're pretty proud about that. Patriot fans need to know that someone is comparing Brady to Montana, because if they arent making that comparison, its a huge insult to them. Most Patriot fans come off as too dumb to even realise how great of a QB they have. If Brady was our QB, we'd think the same thing we think about Manning. We dont need to compare our QB with anyone no matter how close the comparison are. We have something special and we'll tell you that. But Patriot fans are too busy telling people they have the next Joe Montana. No, you have Tom Brady. The guy who might be better then Joe Montana. Why dont you appreciate that instead of holding him up against Joe Montana.

Comparison are fine, but you're fans and the media have taken it to a whole new level. You cant respect the fact that you have a possible legend as your QB. All you can do is compare him to Joe Montana. When Brady goes to the HoF, i'm sure Joe Montana highlights will be run non stop. Here in Indiana, we dont wanna here no Manning is Marino crap. We have Peyton Manning period. We dont need to compare him to anyone nor do we want to. He can be great on his own, without the comparisons in our eyes.

lol

Now that was funny :) And if the Bears win and Devin Hester is MVP he will be the second only return man as MVP...hopefully the Colts wont be smart and give him the ball.

To be fair he's done some pretty good work in San Fran, and look how Alex Smith has come on the past year since he started working as the OC. To be honest IMO he'd be dumb to take the Cowboys job as he'd be a lame duck, in SF he has the makings of a really good offence to work with as he likes, and he's probably got job security for at least a few years.

Same'ol RP.

You're always good for a complete spazz-out.

I wish the two of you would just meet up and kill each other, tbh

BOB SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

63% less sexy? lmao What is the order of these super bowls..Is it like a random thing because I want the GA Dome to hold another Super Bowl...And what happens if the home team gets to play in there house at the super bowl. Like say in the preseason or late regular season they say the Georgia Dome will hold the super bowl and the Falcons go to the Super Bowl what will happen? I remeber when Oakland had to travel like 1:18 (hours:minutes)to travel to the Super Bowl.

I pray Norv Turner doesn't get the job. What MMM said he'd be a lameduck coach but whoever is the next coach will have that label on him. I prefer Phillips , or Rivera..can't believe Jones isn't considering him, idiot.

"mth" they decide the Superbowl location a few year before I think, and if the team that is hosting the Superbowl, is playing in the Superbowl, well they just got lucky.

And no, it has never happened before.

I may be mistaken but I believe it is in Arizona next year.

The thing is if they bring in Rivera he'll want to put the Tampa 2 in, which would mean completely overhauling the defence. Similar situation in Pittsburgh with Tomlin, except he actually got to choose who he wanted his DC to be this year, and they're going to stick with the 3-4 for at least a year.

THE ARIZONA CARDINALS WILL WIN THE NFC <s>WEST</s>

Yeah, there's a super bowl comittee. I think places apply and then the comittee decide from there. Sometimes there are deals (see: Detroit) where the NFL promises a place if they get a new stadium they will get a super bowl, I doubt Detroit will see another one, having the dome helps, but the typicall weather during that time of year in Michigan kills a lot of the money to be made of tourism. Jacksonville may not see another, they simply didn't have the hotel space to handle the people, they had to bring in cruise liners for people to sleep on.

New Orleans is a great place for the superbowl, personally I wouldn't mind if it's always there. Miami will also be good (weather, facilites etc...).,

Jacksonville will never have another Superbowl, I was there and they where totally unprepared. They are lucky nobody got run over and killed heading towards the buses after the game, it was a complete shitshow

Just watched media day on NFL Network...After seeing that Vinatieri is gonna kick the game winning field goal, I can feel it :(

Wasn't the whole deal with KC's new stadium that the NFL would give them a Superbowl if the place had a roof, but because it would cost extra it got voted down?

Thanks ferret. I was watching ESPN today and I may sound slow, but I NEVER knew Thomas and Julius Jones were related!! I never even suspected it. It was another set of brothers on the Colts and some other team but I only saw a bit of it.

For all you guys rooting for the Colts on Sunday, you'll be rooting for that guy..How does that make you feel?

You dont know nothing about Jim Irsay. He's one of the nicest guys in the NFL.

But if you put a pick of Polian up, i'd probably chuckle a bit.

haha you are 100% right, I don't know anything about that dude. He just looks like a douchebag though

I think Marvin Harrison will have a huge game in the Superbowl. I hope. It'd be fitting for a guy who never really talks or showboats and is on pace to break Jerry Rice's recieving records, to shine in the biggest game. He was great in the media day. Maybe seemed boring, but he was honest and it was refreshing to see him do any media period.

Nah i read a brilliant article on him concerning the Baltimore playoff game. The guy was so humble even before the game . Even when Baltimore fans were barking about 1984 ( let it go already ). He's genuinly a nice guy. I know cause my cousin is a massage therapist and he works on him all the time and tell me all kinds of amazing things about him.


Now Bill Polian on the other hand... He's a dick. But he's cut throat. And this organization needed someone like him. And you cant deny his abilities. But yah, he can be a dick.

Rex Grossman will have one of the best perfomances by a Superbowl quarterback of all time. Count on it.

I hope you are right

I think if the Colts win this Superbowl, the MVP will be either Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, or BOB SANDERS but i'm really rooting for Marvin to have a huge friggin game. He's so quiet. I hope this is his stage to shine.

Chad Johnson is being question as a person of intrest in a miuder in Miami.

Ur joking right?

Bill Belliche is a genius

Dolphins vs Giants (Dolphins home game) roughly week 8 will be played at Wembley in London :cool:

I hope to throw something at Shockey in person.

So Brett Favre is going to come back for another season.

Here's the story. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2752040

Good thing or bad thing for the Packers?

Awesome. I assume the tickets won't go on sale until october sometime. Any idea on how much they'll be though?

I hope they leave the very front rows empty though, it'd be crap trying to see the game through the players.

Brett Farve coming back is a good thing. He's also like one good season away from breaking like 4 major Marino records.


Packers can contend. Just about anyone outside of Detroit can contend in the NFC so why not come back and give it a shot. I'm glad he announced it early. I think the Pack have a shot at a big season next year. I know they'll make the playoffs for sure.



As far as the Superbowl, oddly enough, 2 weeks ago the growing census was that the Colts would roll, now its like 50-50. People are starting to believe in the Bears. Again, if Sexy Rexy has to win the game for the Bears, it aint happening. Everyone talks about Devin Hester and i probably fear him the most, but i think Terrence Wilkins will make a bigs return for us on special teams. He's been poised to break one all year. I'm sticking with my original score of Colts 34 Bears 24. Colts kick a field goal with 2 minutes to go, to seal the deal.

;)

As for Favre, I'd imagine he's also going to break the all time INT record this year too.

The Packers will never contend until Brett Favre leaves once and for all. All keeping him around does is delay breaking in a new quarterback, which is slowing down the team's development more or less. They're in a rebuilding stage anyway, so taking a year with Aaron Rodgers as the starter or whatever wouldn't be too devastating.

If Rex Grossman can take the Bears to the superbowl, i think Brett Farve can too. They have a decent team around him next year.

Rogers is going to suck ass

Yeah, just saw the email. :$

Down for 4 tickets of the cheapest variety. I'm not made of money.

Looking forward to it though.

How many more chances will Manning have after this year? - If he doesn't win the SuperBowl this year, will his 'legacy' be written?

NFL games in any stadium besides the home team's stadium need to stop immediately...nice to see Dolphins fans being shat on by getting only 7 home games. if anything it should be a giants home game because they got 9 home games in 2005.

They should just make it an away game for both teams so they don't take away from from each team's home game schedule.

I think its a good idea. I'd be intrested in seeing Colts vs Patriots in Africa. That'd be wild.

How could that work?

i guess it could be like...week 17 and both teams have already played 8 home games? not sure if that would work

Devin Hester is my hero.

THOMAS JONES WHAT
