NFL 2009-2010: Part The Second

[Mrs. Garrison]

Sorry. I'm still drunk from last night.

hair of the dog, old boy, hair of the dog..

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

at the end of the day, green bay are going to win a superbowl in the next 2-3 years.

feel free to quote me in 2013 if i'm wrong.

you are probably right except for one thing, the world is going to end in 2012 so nobody will be around to tell you if you were wrong.

oh, i'm fully aware of that fact. i was hoping nobody else would notice

It now looks like the Bengals are going to sit players and the Jets will back into the playoffs with two free handed victories from teams they otherwise would not have beaten. Is this fair to the Ravens and Steelers?

 

[phillyfan26]

Probably not, but it's not the Jets' fault either. Blame the Colts and Bengals for being pussies.

In a word: yes.

In more than one word: if a team wants to get into the playoffs it should win its damn games and not count on help from others.

Any sort of rule that attempts to force teams to play its starters is impossible to enforce fairly.

 

[Got Philk?]

Agreed. Pittsburgh lost to the Raiders, Washington, Chicago, and Kansas City, and Cleveland.

Baltimore had a tougher schedule and lost to a lot of good teams (Cincy 2X, Minny, NE, GB, Indy), but to make the playoffs, you gotta beat some of those teams.

Win one or two of those games and this conversation doesn't have to happen.

 

[speedracer]

With Welker done for the season (likely a torn knee ligament -- happened on a routine cut and not as a result of a hit), Brady's been playing much of the game in order to get his groove on with Julian Edelman. Ironic, that.

 

[phillyfan26]

And now comes the time of year where my criticisms and cynicism about Andy Reid melts away and I root for the Eagles like a normal fan.

i guess the only thing we are gonna agree on here is that the Giants are pathetic.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'd really like to watch Cowboys/Eagles but Fox is giving me the fucking meaningless Packers game.

Anger.

I see your Packers-Arizona game and raise you a Redskins-Chargers snoozefest.

yay for being in memphis.

 

[corianderstem]

At least Fox is giving you something. We don't get an afternoon Fox game here in Seattle - wtf?

I know they used to black out the Seahawks home games if the game wasn't sold out, but what is this - are they trying to force us to watch the Seahawks game on CBS?

I'm so confused.

 

[Imperor]

Oh my. That timeout taken before a punt to avoid a delay of game penalty was a first ballot hall of famer in the Andy Reid Stupid Timeouts HOF.

I'm an idiot for saying this. Fuck Reid and Five.

 

[coolian2]

god, i've already glanced up at the game multiple times to see several variations on this sight:

my guess: eagles playing soft to see what dallas will bring next week.
logic to it: andy reid is their coach and isn't aware that if they win they won't have to worry about dallas next week.
more likely: cowboys are better than the eagles by a good margin, regardless of where they play.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Eagles aren't that good and are really, really injured. Their offensive line and linebacker cores are practically gone at this point.

That and their secondary is awful. No one can tackle.

Fuck you, Andy Reid. Fuck you and your couch and your three year contract extension.

 

[RedRocksU2]

What the hell ever happened to Westbrook?

 

[phillyfan26]

He got paid.

 

[RedRocksU2]

No shit.
He was one of my favorites.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Barber runs like Ickey Woods.

 

[phillyfan26]

No shit.
He was one of my favorites.

No, I mean, he spent years playing well because he was pissed off about his contract situation. Then, about a year and a half ago, they re-negotiated his deal and he was satisfied. He's done nothing since then.

 

[Got Philk?]

What the hell ever happened to Westbrook?

Well, he did have 2 concussions in a span of like 2-3 weeks this season.

But when is the last time he played an entire season?

 

[Imperor]

NFC East Champs.

 

[phanan]

Sucks about Welker. It wasn't because of a hit or anything, just one of those freak accidents. Horrendous timing.

 

[Got Philk?]

In case you didn't notice, Devin Aromashodu of the Chicago Bears look very good the last 2 weeks. My question is...why did he only get to play the last 2 weeks? Where does the blame lie in this situation? How does he not play before now??

I do understand that he probably wouldn't get 2 td's or 150 yards every game. But...he did just that the past two weeks.

Disappointing year, but I have not given up on Cutler. Things are gonna change though this offseason I feel.

 

[Imperor]

Well, the guy who came in for him was doing a pretty spot on Wes Welker impression.

Speaking of Texans/Pats, here's a little bit of Houston FAIL, which is always a good thing:

Commence "Texas schooling" jokes.
