wez Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks. I'm still on suicide watch for the next 48 hours. This year's loss was a bit more disappointing than any of the previous playoff losses. For two reasons. One, Sand Diego was just supposed to be a speed bump on the road to New England. Even inside of two minutes as the Colts started their last drive, I never doubted for a split second that we were going to win it. When Clark dropped what I thought was a brilliantly placed pass over the defender on 4th and 5, I just couldn't believe it. Football isn't nearly as fun when you lose. And secondly, the domination we've seen with the Colts has been going on for some time now. A record 5 straight years with 12 or more wins. This cannot go on forever. 3-5 more years of dominant play is the maximum one could expect. It really is quite depressing to think about things going back to the way they were pre-Manning. It'll probably go by in a flash. Before I know it Manning and Harrison will retire (I expect Harrison to retire this off season or the next), Dungy and Tom Moore aren't long for the NFL either. This whole thing will fall apart rather fast over the next few years. It isn't pleasant to think of going back to those Jeff George days when the Colts didn't have an identity. At first just watching your team win regular season games is enough. After awhile one gets used to it and regular season dominance becomes an expected formality. As of now I am rooting for Brett Favre and the Greenbay Packers. I would love to see Favre win it all one more time, and retire as a winner just like Elway. Yeah, that was a bummer... Really kinda was looking forward to that matchup. I'd love to see Favre take it. What a career.. Iron man. The best ever I'd have to say after the records he broke this year. Plus, he has the Superbowl. Never had the pleasure of the "dynasty" like Montana, Aikman, Bradshaw, and Brady but I'd take Favre over any of those guys. He never had that elite receiver year after year either after Sterling Sharpe effed up his neck. Favre rocks.. Go Pack!! Quote
atlantic Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I just have to say that the Pats have been impressing me for a long time. They lose lots of talent, and keep comming back to the playoffs, year after year, and I believe they maintain one of the lowest salary amounts in the NFL. Do more with less money, every owner's dream. I just cannot imagine anyone else winning the superbowl at this point.That's right TJ, the Patriots are the BEST Quote Do the right thing!
Jhony5 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The best are always hated by those who are not the best, it is just a fact of life. GRRRRRRRRRR........ I'd love to see Favre take it.

As a person that truly loves the game, I appreciate Favre not only for his success, but the fun he has while playing. Even during his most intense and focused moments, he really seems to be having as much fun as I did when I was 12 and playing in the backyard. Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

I hope he takes the bowl.. I see Moss has just had a restraining order put on him by a woman in FL.. Good gravey.. here we go again. Quote

Jhony5 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 That NFC game was outstanding. It reminded me why I watch football. The weather. The historical context. The gut wrenching sudden ending. So sad to see Favre not go to the big show one more time. I hope for hopes sake that Favre comes back for one more taste. I despise NY as a city in a general sense. But I have always liked the NY Giants franchise going back to Phil Simms and LT (The original LT). Also, I have a soft spot for 'lil bro Eli Manning. As a little brother myself, I know the shadow that the older sibling can cast and I've been rooting for him to emerge from it for a few years now. PS: I had to take down my Colts avatar. I do not want to see that thing for at least 6 months after that terrible game they played. They won the championship last year by breaking away from their finesse offense reputation and finally asserting themselves as a power offense. And what do they do? Friggin 48 pass attempts at home? 5 yards from victory and they throw it incomplete 4 times in a row? Psssh..... Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

Should be a cake walk for the Pats.. Although, them Giants been playing good football.. I think our little contest still has cloaked up by a game.. and will end that way unless he's taking the Giants, cause I sure the hell aint. I predict Brady throws 5 td's.. 3 to Moss.. Quote

What irritates me is that they (Mainly Mercury Morris) are still trying to say that the Pats are only poised to equal their 1972 efforts. Bullsh t!! For one, 19-0 beats the crap outta 17-0. Secondly, the NFL is far far more competitive these days. They had what, 26 teams in the league back then? Maybe less, dunno. As well they didn't have 330 pound 6'6 athletes that could run like a cheetah in 1972. What the Patriots accomplished totally washes the 72 Dolphins efforts. Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

Mercury Morris is a dumbass. Nick Buoniconti can go to hell in a bucket... Wine aint getting opened this year.. really, they should put the unopened bottle with the story in the Hall of Fame if the Pats take it.. Vikings shoulda done it Moss's rookie year. We lost that one game, to Tampa I think.. but then blew it in the Championship game anyways.. Quote

Great idea. That is a really great idea. What about the efforts of the 49ers? With Elway, Rice and Sanders? Dems waz da days! I'm afraid they can't compare. Mainly due to free agency and salary caps which have since leveled the playing field. In those days the big fish would hoard all the talent. If anything, free agency and the cap should have made it nearly impossible for something like what the Patriots have accomplished to come to fruition. Actually, the year after the cap and free agency was imposed, most (if not all) of the experts had proclaimed the era of the dynasty to be dead. Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

As well they didn't have 330 pound 6'6 athletes that could run like a cheetah in 1972. What the Patriots accomplished totally washes the 72 Dolphins efforts. I will agree that the competition is tougher nowadays, and more wins is better, but I don't think it "washes" the 72 Dolphins. (of course, I could be biased. ) It's true that they didn't have "330 pound 6'6 athletes that could run like a cheetah in 1972" but neither did anyone else. Going a season without a loss is impressive no matter who you are. But, Mercury Morris was on EPSN this morning spouting off, and making no sense at all. I agree that he needs to shut his yap. Frankly, I am just glad that the NFL has teams like the Pats who win the majority of their games. If gives them credibility over sports like baseball where it is common for a team to barely break .500 for the season and easily make the playoffs. Quote I'm trusted by more women.
wez Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 I don't think those old timers would even make it through 3 days of practice like they do now let alone a 16 game season.. Czonka woulda had a heart attack. Half of em smoked like Chimneys and drank like fish I bet... Sh t, Hollywood Henderson for the Cowboys used to shove a huge rock of cocaine up his nose before a game.. Hahahahahaha Believe it or not: the life of Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson is so remarkable that it seems to have come right out of, well, Hollywood | Football Digest | Find Articles at BNET.com Quote
Jhony5 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 What ever happened to Garo Yepremian? The idiot kicker that blew the Dolphins chance of winning the Superbowl by a score of 17-0 (to end a 17-0 season) when he tried to pass a botched kick and the Redskins player ran it back. Wouldn't it be weird if the Patriots won 19-0? Not gonna happen. They'll rock 21 points in the first 12 minutes. Quote i am sofa king we todd did.

Burress looks healthy, Jacobs and Bradshaw been looking good. Eli is playing well.. Never know.. prolly will be over after 12 minutes.. 21 - rip.. Quote
