Re: NFL Off Topic

I'm going to devote my lunch break tomorrow to breaking down Youtube clips of Peyton Manning comping up small in big games to back up my claims. It has been make clear that our eyes and memories are no longer enough. You NEED video evidence.

I look forward to this cherry picked collage of evidence…should be good!

Re: NFL Off Topic

Well, what (exact) temperature defines cold? Also, are we taking wind chill into account on this?

Kickoff temperature? Temperature in the 4th quarter? There are too many variables in your narrative.

What is the prime temperature for mental toughness? We gotta factor that in.

NFL Off Topic

With the league like it is there just aren't a lot of 'featured' backs…I think we'd all agree it's AP and everyone else. Someone will show that Jamal Charles holds the record for YPA and then we'll all point out the low number carries.

Just not a lot of Barry/Emmitt or Earl Campbell/Tony Dorsett type of debates to be had...

RB debate....hm...

Charles Vs McCoy could be a fun one. Even throw in Forte. Or if you want to do the "Who's behind AD?" question fully add in Lynch and maybe Rice.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Matt Flynn is the best quarterback and Eddie Lacy is the best running back I don't even know why we're wasting our time with this guys.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Is this the first Seahawks/Saints game since this?



Because I want to see the encore.

Didn't this cause an Earthquake there as well during that run?

Still the greatest playoff run I've ever seen too.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I still can't believe that run. Cannot believe it. One of the best sports plays I've ever seen, not just football.

Yup, caused a small tremor in the area surrounding the stadium.

That gif does that run no justice without the Skittles raining down during the celebration.

The Skittles thing didn't take off till the next season against Philly. What we actually got after that TD was this:

Re: NFL Off Topic

Lol that was horrible, horrible tackling by the Saints. Think I saw more 1 arm swipes in that GIF than at a Gas station credit card machine.


But anyways the reason I hate these Top QB arguments is basically:

Brady guys will take Brady
Peyton guys will take Peyton
Saints fans will take Brees
Packers fans will take Rodgers.

What can I say, they're all extremely good and it's so difficult to win a Championship in the NFL; requiring so many different circumstances other than the QB... that the differences are narrow. I'd do backflips to get any of those guys playing for the Vikings though; and I'll go with that.

You just called ITT a Packers fan. Watch your back, Feared.

The thing is, other than throwing out some rankings that haven't been argued over, there hasn't been a debate at all. It's discussion about discrediting one of them... and honestly, I think just about everybody would argue the same way if any of the 4 were discredited in that way.

After loss to the Jets and 53.5 QB Rating: "Can we now finally admit that Brady is overrated?"

After getting hurt: "Can we now finally admit that Rodgers is too injury proned to be called elite?"

After losing to the Jets: "Can we now finally admit that Brees is overrated and will never win if the game isn't in a dome?"

Pretty sure any one of them would create the same responses from the masses.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I think I can be rational and say Rodgers is the best. If I saw someone better I'd say so.

I never thought Favre was the best quarterback in the NFL. Even when he had 3 MVPs and had a legitimate case.

Farve may not have been the best through talent alone, but when you add his near indestructibility his case gets better. He was also more enjoyable to watch than Brady or Brees simply because they cry everytime some stray skin cells land on them.

When did this happen? Even in the hit that everyone else has been whining about, he was on the ground for too long to whine for a penalty.
