Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

[the_bird]

We'll see how much it impacts Welker, having Tate single-covered on the outside versus having a corner and a deep safety thirty yards deep on Moss. Tate's the "X" factor (along with Hernandez), they'll pack the middle of the field to keep Welker from making any yards after the catch and hope that they can handle Tate one-on-one.

EDIT: And I know I'm failing at the whole "smack talking" thing, but to say that losing Moss isn't going to hurt Welker and the other receivers... well, I'd at least like SOME logic to prevail in this conversation.

Post all the she-males you want... it'll all be that much sweeter when the Pats roll to yet another Super Bowl victory.

 

[the_bird]

Don't worry - he's got a HUGE pic collection.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

If you need to roll to the Super Bowl, perhaps a fat Pat would make it easier???

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

lol........ I can die happy (and winless) knowing that my Pat joke is funny.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Shouldn't you be off sniffing stuff somewhere?

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Know that you mention it... sniff... sniff... I think I smell the sweet scent of a Super Bowl Victory.

 

[the_bird]

How ****ing sweet can that smell? That was what, fourteen years ago?

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

My smell is so good I am smelling the future. Like when your mom bakes you cookies before she puts you to bed. I bet you smell those cookies coming all day.

 

[the_bird]

You should really wait at least a day before starting your smack talk all over again. What's changed in the three hours since you posted:

I have finally given up on the Packers Super dreams for the year... too bad.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I think I am smelling pretty far into the future. Like maybe next year... or three years.

 

[Cape Brewing]

I think you're sniffing glue

 

[khugs21]

Just found this thread its awesome! Go Pats!!! Been a pats fan my whole life and im finally going to see them smack that colts and paytons big ass forehead!!!!!

 

[Joemama474]

Don't give up the faith! The pack can still pull this out! All they need is to keep doing what they're doing and continue to compensate well for injuries! It's worked great the last two years, right? Oh wait... God damn it... ****in' TT. I wish he'd go out and get us a running back and a couple of O linemen...

 

[dunnright00]

Patriots are deep in discussions to acquire a west coast receiver!!!!!!!

I hear there's rumors about the Pats trading for Vincent Jackson.

Brady + Jackson, Dang! That would be scary!!

two over-rated players on the same team is scary

 

[koomber]

C'Mon Aberdeen! We have faith!

(Aye, faith that'll dodge religation by the skin of your teeth yet again)

 

[Cape Brewing]

No chance Jackson is coming to New England.

 

[the_bird]

There's no such thing as "no chance" when BB is involved. We would have had this same conversation about Randy Moss three years ago. Granted, it's HIGHLY unlikely, but to say NO chance...

Most likely, I think they run with who they have. Run a lot more power sets; Pats were one of the first in the current NFL to really spread the field, work out of the shotgun more than half the time, and now they're moving back the other way. They love the TEs and seem to really like Tate. Lots more running with BJGE, lots more short passing - more sustained, clock-chewing drives, which may also help out the D. Maybe a small deal for Branch *if* he restructures his contract... but BB doesn't seem to like going back to the well, so I'm not sure the probability of that is very high either.

 

[Cape Brewing]

No chance

According to Comcast Sportsnet New England, the Patriots are also talking with the San Diego Chargers about wide receiver Vincent Jackson.

Per the report, talks are in the preliminary stage and involve swapping Jackson for guard Logan Mankins(notes).

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers want a second-round and a third-round pick for an NFC team and a first-round pick and second-round pick for an AFC squad.

If they're looking for a #1 and a #2 for VJ... no chance in hell. Nobody's going to bite on that.... well, maybe the Raiders, but they don't HAVE a 2011 #1 anymore

Still, seems like they're *thinking* about it, which means the probability > 0%

 

[Cape Brewing]

no chance

 

[the_bird]

... you do realize, of course, that if a deal DOES go down, the obnoxiousness of my trash talk is going to go through the roof, right?

 

[Cape Brewing]

If it goes down you'll be more than welcome to talk all the trash you want.

No chance.

Now can we please focus on the important issue: all other teams sucking in comparison to the Patriots?

We should do it team-by-team. I'll start in the division.

I have to confess, I feel really bad for Bills fans. Have a feeling that game against the Pats was going to be the highlight of their season - wouldn't be surprised to see an 0-fer. At least a team like Detroit has a young QB and a young RB to build around; in Buffalo, there's NOTHING. No QB, none. OL and DL both suck. Fred Jackson's OK, but not someone to build around. CJ Spiller's a guy that would be outstanding as a complementary piece on a good time, but is the last thing that they really need. They still have Lee Evans, I think, but since every team in the league can shut down ONE wide receiver, he's worthless - there isn't a single other receiver on that squad who can hurt you in any way.

I am glad you are sympathetic to the Bills fans cause you can appreciate how I feel about Pats fans after the Steelers play them.

 

[the_bird]

**** the Steelers. "Led" by a quarterback who rapes co-eds. You root for that guy? WTF is wrong with you? Even his offensive line hates him so bad, that' the only possible explanation for all the sacks they allow - they meant them!

Pitt is right up there with the Yankees and Cowboys in terms of "teams with huge numbers of fans who started rooting for them because they won a lot of games when they were kids." You know, ****ty fans.

Add the Packers to that group as well. Some of the worst fans in the league right there. I can't stand how many Packer fans don't root for the Brewers or Bucks but follow a different basketball and/or baseball team from a rival city (i.e. Bulls fans). I'd be willing to bet that there are more Packer fans who follow the Bulls than there are who follow the Bucks. Especially the 20's crowd who grew up in the 90's. One 'fan' I know is a Packers fan in football, Red Wings in hockey, Bulls in basketball, and Yankees in baseball. That's just one of countless examples. It's like they latched on to the Packers because of winning, but the rest of the sports in their hometown/state weren't any good so they hopped on other bandwagons.

Sad thing is you are so totally right about Detroit we haven't won a game yet but I've been excited about the promise of better things to come. Is it wrong to just be happy with a close game? Maybe I've been following Detroit too long. At least the wings and pistons deliver for us sometimes lol.

You're talking to someone who kept a 13-10 week 16 LOSS, to the New York Giants, saved on videotape for years. This game. Think I still have the tape up in the attic.

Went 1-15 that season, and other than the Week 2 victory over the Colts (we *always* seemed to beat those guys), that was pretty much the highlight of the season.
