I am very disappointed that the Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread has become the Not So Exciting Football Thread, so here is my attempt to stir the pot.
Third - The Indi fan is realizing that perhaps the Colts can't turn it on.
the right to revise after this and next weekend.
Winners this week - Colts & Jets (sorry dataz...) and Saints & Cowboys
Winners next week - Colts & Saints
SB Champion - Pittsburgh Steelers because they are that damn good
Manning isn't washed up, a la Brady.

I wish the Pittsburgh Shellers were gonna be in the SB. It would make the Cowboys victory that much sweeterer.I am very disappointed that the Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread has become the Not So Exciting Football Thread, so here is my attempt to stir the pot.
First, I think every team that is left should thank "Your Team, The Pittsburgh Steelers" for intenionally losing soooo many games this year to give the second tier teams a chance (please remember, Obnoxious is the key word in this thread).
LOL... that's awesome. At first I was just thinking, "Nah... don't even respond. That's a classic just-trying-to-annoy-you statement"... but then I started thinking about it... and I just don't think you're that sharp to purposely plan a crack like that. I think you (and others) are actually dumb enough to truly think that.
Just to recap... Brady just put up the second best statistical season of his career... after massive knee surgery and rumors of him playing with broken ribs and a hurt shoulder for much of the season and a broken finger on his throwing hand recently.
2009 Stats:
Manning: 4,500 yards 33 TDs 16 picks
Brady: 4,398 yards 28 TDs 18 picks
Manning was the "run away MVP" this year and Brady is coming off massive knee surgery.
I dunno... those stats don't seem "washed up" to me.
2009 Stats:
Manning: 4,500 yards 33 TDs 16 picks
Brady: 4,398 yards 28 TDs 18 picks
Romo: 4483 yards 26TDs 9 picks.....

I guess we all can't have a team in the playoffs!:rockin:
I know I'm in the minority but imo playoff wins and super bowl wins are TEAM accomplishments. Football relies on 'team' more than most other sports.
.
Agree. We get to see Manning play and he passes the 'sniff test' for being a great QB (just as Dilfer did not). That's why I think he's great, not because of team accomplishments. The Pats didn't have a great season but Brady's still awesome. Brees has been great for years.ok... but then people can't bow down to Manning during the regular season then. If it's a "team" game then everything he does in the regular season should be totally discounted.
You can't have it both ways.
you can't say he's the best thing since sliced bread during the regular season and then when he invariably gags in the playoffs cop out with, "well.. it's a TEAM game".
Romo: 4483 yards 26TDs 9 picks.....
John Elway is a great example. Before his super bowl wins many considered him a 'choker' in the playoffs/super bowl. Then he won a couple and all of the sudden he's a true champion? Shenanigans I say. Those were TEAM losses and TEAM wins.
.
one more point on this though....
... and here's the big difference... Look at Elways stats during his regular seasons and then compare them with what his did in the playoffs. They're pretty similar. Look at Brady's... pretty similar (with the exception of the Raven's game last week... God he played like SHIIT). look at Marino's... pretty similar.
Now look at Peyton's. There's a DRAMATIC drop off.
You can call it a team game all you want and I agree I don't see Marino differently because he never won a Super Bowl... but that's because he was consistant. Same with Dilfer. He was what he was... an 'ok' QB whether it was playoffs or the regular season.
Manning has the huge distinction of putting up God-like numbers during the season with all of these dramatic come-backs, etc etc... but when the playoffs come, he falls through the floor.
Did Peyton Manning piss in your cornflakes and then kick your dog?

PS. Peyton gags donkey hog. True story
how bad does an organization have to be to have coaches not wanting to interview for a head coach job?
