As the the way Green Bay lost. Rodgers played very well, but you aren't going to win to many games with 7 dropped passes and 4 turnovers. Not to mention a shitty defense.

And no run game..

what happened to that D???

Let me add during the summer there was a bit of banter on here that Joe flacco was still maturing
HA! The Guy has looked sub par all season. He will never be a elite QB

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Rodgers looked out of sync also,he was missing wide open guys and the drops killed them.I think the week off sure seemed to affect them,and remember Rodgers didnt play the last game also

Touche my good man. Next week I'm definitely a Niner fan. Sorry but I can't root for the Giants again, they got a mulligan in '07 because the Pats were the bigger evil then, but if you give Elisha two rings people will start mentioning HOF in the same sentence as him.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Gahhhhh.......Its either the Gints or the 9ers in the super bowl.
Crap................
Go Pats!

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

This is one of the foulest postseason quartets ever, at least for me. I don't like any of these teams one bit. San Fran cuz their city is a bit nutty. Pats because their fans are obnoxious. Giants because they're division rivals. And the Ravens fans are obnoxious too....

Anybody but the Patriots. I'm tired of people slobbing on Brady's nuts. It's annoying as hell.

It's a bit different with basketball and football. Put Jordan on a shitty team and he could still carry it far as noted by his career. Put Tom Brady or Peyton Manning on a shitty team, and they aren't going very far.


It just irks me we want to talk about "the best" and relate the championships with it. You don't get into the hall of fame because of the number of Super Bowl trophies you have. You get into the Hall of Fame based on your body of work you've done over the course of your career and 95% of that comes from regular season. It's a stupid argument because there are so many factors involved with winning a Super Bowl. It's a one game elimination and anybody can be beat so the best team generally doesn't win the Super Bowl as noted by the previous winners.


I guess Barry Bonds isn't one of the greatest to ever play the game of MLB because he never won a championship. :rolleyes:

Baseball is a joke IMO sorry but that whole league is roided up and no one watches anyway.. as for football yes it takes a team to win unlike the NBA where one or two guys can carry a team to multiple championships

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

I thought it was pretty funny when Eli made the elite claim before the season. I was wrong big time. Eli deserves a ton of credit this season, really outplayed aaron rogers all day.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Green Bay gave away that game. The NYG played a good game but they would not have overcome the Packers had Green Bay not turned the ball over and not dropped so many passes.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Every year the NFL reminds me how flawed the BCS is. According to that system the Packers were the top team in the league and based on their performance in the regular season should have been in the championship game automatically. This same Packers team, which dominated the regular season got killed today by the Giants.

By BCS apologist logic it wasn't fair to put the Giants up against the Packers because, well the Giants were hot. And it's not right to put a team like the Giants up against the Packers because god forbid the better team be determined by an on field result.

Anyone but the Ravens. I'd have to go into hiding if they won. No problem with the Pats and Niners.

i get where you are coming form but all four teams are playing great football right now and we should have some pretty good games this weekend. you've got the pats offesnse trying to score on baltimores defense which usually produces a really good game. and then you have san fran and the nyg, i think this one should be a great one, two teams going full steam ahead, and only one can go to the superbowl. f the nba, i love THIS game!

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Pats and niners in the Superbowl. 9ers take it in a close one, 31 - 30.

[quote=Chico23231;876150]I thought it was pretty funny when Eli made the elite claim before the season..[/quote]


Thing was he did'nt make the claim,he was being interveiwed and the reporter ask if he thinks he should be counted in the QB elite of the NFL, he said yes.......guess he was right.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

Eli is definitely big time now. Of course it helps that he also has some nice WRs too, but I'm not taking anything away from him. He's legit.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;876099]I dont want the Giants to have 4[/quote]

I rather have the Giants with 4 than the 49ers w/6. I would never hear the end of how great the 49ers are. **** the 49ers and their fans!!

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

9-7 and they're in the NFC Championship game! Like the Cardinals from a couple of years ago. Unbelievable.

Very happy for Justin Smith (of course) and Alex Smith. Pleasantly surprised I suppose by Jim Harbaugh. We've seen a lot of coaches have great first seasons then disappear so I'm not going to crown him yet. I really didn't know what to expect from him, but so far it's been pretty solid

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

My brother is a long time 49ers fan, so for that reason I'll be rooting for them.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

We'll never hear the end of it if Carlos Rogers gets a ring...so for that reason I'm rooting against them.

lol yup, I was watching the game with friends and everytime Los made a play someone would look at me and say 'why did yall let him go'...it got old quick.

I hope the 49ers kill the Giants.

Rogers is playing well because he is away from the disfunctional atmosphere of the Redskins and can now play to his potential.

He played just fine as a skins it just he did not make the pics. He was run out of town because of that and I always thought he was agood player. A fitting end will be him missing an easy pix six and the 49ers loosing next week by 5.

Your boy Justin Smith was an animal against the Saints.

Re: Around The NFL - Divisional Round
 

[quote=irish;876200]Rogers is playing well because he is away from the disfunctional atmosphere of the Redskins and can now play to his potential.[/quote]

No, he's playing well because he's on a one year contract and he wants to get paid. One only needs to review his old interviews to see that.

Face it man, he was always a really good cover corner and 9th overall pick, he's playing to his potential just like Alex Smith and making INT's. Oh wait, Alex Smith is on a 1 year contract also. Get over the bitterness over Rogers, I will never get over the bitterness over Hall (despise his Ass). ;)

You have to admit that it's very frustrating seeing him playing great football on another team. Especially when our DB's SUCK. Not only that but they bring in a coach that KEEPS the an unwanted QB, coaches him up w/out any off season minicamps and now they're playing for the Super Bowl. Now as long suffering Redskin fans we all ( and Dan Snyder) have to be wondering why we couldn't do the same thing....coach up Jason Campbell, keep the draft picks and building a winner.

Not buying it. One thing that helps SF is they play in a weak NFC West. Even though we beat NY twice we're still not better than they are. Nor are we better than Philly or Dallas. The only way we compete for the division is the quick fix approach aka..sign Peyton Manning. Otherwise we're still a few years away cause we don't have a QB, o-line or a dominating defense.

Yeah I believe there is some truth behind that. Looking back at the culture and methods of the front office, just wasnt smart. I think the move to pick up D Hall mid season and then to pay him a effing ridiculous contract shortly there after really pissed off Carlos. He coulda kept it professional but his lashing out every now and then just pissed off everyone, but that what the skins were, a drama filled circus. Change of scenery can be very beneficial for players, it was in Carlos's case.
