Peyton is an mvp and I want to suck his cock

I guess that explains why you didn't shit on him like you would have, had it been Tebow who threw three interceptions last night

 

[STDiva]

Should have kept Tebow! Oh wait, Peyton had a good game! I love Peyton! But wait, Denver isn't going undefeated, I want my virgin back. I miss the taste of his clean, unused dong!! How's Tebow doing now?

Peyton may have to nix the no huddle until he gets comfortable with his receivers. Gotta give credit to the falcons D though. Even with injuries in the secondary they still managed to look pretty damn impressive

Excellent point. I guess there's no teacher like game experience, though, right?

 

[Red001]

Atlanta's defense is run by Mike Nolan one of the very best at making defenses very tough and covering for injuries, remember he was part of the Ravens back when they went to the superbowl

Bu....bu.....bu..... but Manning will take them to the Super Bowl and win it. That's what you all said. And... I see he gets a free pass from the usual suspects in here. Had that been Tebow who threw 3 interceptions in the first 8 minutes, you and everyone else in here would be laughing your asses off.

A loss is a loss is a loss.

Payton Manning - one of the greatest football players in history

Tim Tebow - ...errr is Tim Tebow, somebody actually considered worse than Mark Sanchez right now

Yeah, I can't see why people would give the benefit of the doubt to one and not the other either.

It is now halftime. 20-0, Giants. The Yak wept.

 

[BAYAMONXXX]

Giants were supposed to get their butts handed to them tonight. but they remained true to form unpredictable and surprised everyone by bashing the Panthers 36-7.

Says who? Giants were -1.5 last I checked. Did people actually pick Carolina? No offense, Yak.

 

[Elwood70]

Seriously; how bad are the (replacement) refs botching calls this year!? I mean, I know it's a typical complaint, but Jesus..... I can think of at least two games off the top of my head-so far- that would've potentially had a completely different outcome....

Peter King picked the Panthers . . . while playing a piccolo on Piccadilly and eating pickled peppers. Sorry. Anyway, that was brutal. The Panthers don't have a defense. They have an eleven man comedy group that takes the field when the opposing team possesses the football. Not a good situation.

So did most of the NFL Network panel. Lots of people underestimated the Giants without Bradshaw and Nicks but the backups came in and dominated. The only thing impressive about the Panthers last night were their cheerleaders. :boobies:

 

[The Yak]

NFL has finally struck a deal with Time Warner to carry NFL Network. About damn time. Had the deal been in place yesterday, I could have legally watched the Panthers be brutalized.

I'd say they are only marginally worse than the regular refs. For the most part I think they are doing alright. The biggest thing, in my opinion, is that sometimes it takes them too long to sort things out. While they have missed calls people also have to remember all the blown calls the normal refs usually had.

 

[Deepcover]

Absolutely, you cannot win a Super Bowl in todays NFL without one.

And do you believe defense wins championships?

 

[lurkingdirk]

And do you believe defense wins championships?

I think they're virtually impossible to accomplish anymore, with the explosive offensive tactics out there.

:2 cents:

 

[STDiva]

Balanced teams on a hot streak win championships. Didn't D-Rock already say this.

yeah, they all make mistakes (sure the replacements a bit more), but it's just the game length that is killing me. The ravens are playing sunday night football this week so they won't even get started until 8:30 and God knows when the game is going to end, I'm guessing 11:45

:2 cents:

The offensive tactics have gotten better, it is true. The main thing, however, that keeps offenses dominate is the crippling of defenses with new rules and restrictions every time they catch up to the offense. The defensive side of the ball is traditionally more athletic, stronger, and faster than the offensive side, yet the offensive side always maintains the advantage.
