You need more than luck to get this far. The Giants have been playing well, gotta give credit where it's due. They got hot at the right time, and healthy.

Re: Around the NFL: Super Bowl Thread
 

[quote=NC_Skins;878946]Interesting. Prater looked to be a good kicker from what I saw.[/quote]

this is a no brainer signing. he would be a great addition. Pretty cool:

Prater is currently the most accurate kicker in National Football League history for field goals of 50 yards or more, having hit 12 of 16 (or 75%) from that range [7], although six of those twelve have been hit in the thinner air in Denver.

Re: Around the NFL: Super Bowl Thread
 

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;878951]While the Giants have played well lately, they are still more lucky than good. Let's face it. The NYG didn't really outplay the Packers or the 49ers in their last two games. The Packers had so many dropped passes that would have made a difference in the divisional playoff game. San Francisco lost the NFC championship game because of two turnovers by the punt returner Williams that allowed the Giants to not only get back into the game, but win it. That's what I mean by the Giants being more lucky than good. In assessing the Giants, those two losses to the Redskins and that blowout loss to the Saints are really who these Giants are.

Against the Patriots they will not be as lucky as they have been in recent weeks. Tom Brady has said that the loss to the Giants in Super Bowl 42 still bothers him. Brady will be surgical in carving the Giants secondary all day in this game en route to a blowout victory.[/quote]


So the Patriots were'nt lucky against the Ravens ???:yeahright:bs:

Good story. It makes me wonder if a coach can be successful in today's NFL without the SOB mantra. It seems that in pushing players and staff, a coach has to be overbearing in order to be successful. These three guys are certainly devoted to that style/approach.

I would like to think there is still room for the Joe Gibbs philosophy, but I'm not sure about that. Probably never see his style replicated anyway, because in my mind, Joe Gibbs was one of a kind!

How about Dungy

Re: Around the NFL: Super Bowl Thread
 

[quote=Mattyk;879503]How about Dungy[/quote]

Well, truthfully he should have won more than he did. Gruden took his team and won the super bowl and he only managed 1 SB with that loaded team in Indy.

It does seem that the Parcells, Bellicheat, Shanahan, Jimmy Johnson, Nick Saban type of coaches are more successful. I attribute that to they hold their players accountable unlike a Wade Phillips or a Norv Turner.

That he did, and you can't really take that away from him. I like the guy and I'd rather play for a Dungy than any of those other coaches I listed. Mostly because I would respond better to how he talked to me as compared to some of those other coaches.

Good example, but he probably does not win without Peyton Manning. But he did win one, so he deserves some credit for that.

That is amazing but back in the day the league wasnt as QB/pass driven as it is today. Teams were much more run first than they are today and Gibbs had a huge O-lins and a great RB in Riggo and very good RBs in Riggs & Byner.

Re: Around the NFL: Super Bowl Thread
 

[quote=redskin29633;878105]The Redskins played the New York Football Giants on Sept 11th and Dec 18th of 2011. Happily, we all know that Washington won both games. The two games were not highlight reels for Eli Manning. In September, he was 18 of 32 for 268 yards and 1 int. He also fumbled once. In December, Manning went 23 of 40 for 257 yds, no tuchdowns and THREE ints!

Neither Manning performance reflects championship caliber that we have seen in the late season push by the Giants. Granted Eli has delivered when it counts, but he is capable of laying an egg, and even sometimes panics under a heavy rush. New England's defense is on the upswing, and IMHO, Manning is due for a bad game. My early impression, Patriots win by 14.

Redskin fans may want to chew on this tidbit as well. Game one, Grossman was 21 of 34 for 305 yds and 2 TDs; he also lost one fumble in the 28-14 Redskin win. In game two Sexy Rexy was 15 of 24 for 185 yds, 1 TD and 2 ints. You could fairly say that Rex outperformed Eli in both games.[/quote]

The Redskins beat the New York Giants twice and should have beaten the Patriots. That said, I don't care who wins the Super Bowl although I expect New England to win it.

[quote=Giantone;879828]...and Parcells,...Simms ...and Hosteler(sp)[/quote]

Yes; we sort of gave Parcells credit in the discussion about him and his proteges who won with the SOB mantra. Then we moved on to guys like Dungy and Gibbs who had sort of atypical football coaching personalities. I suppose its fair to say I never give Parcells the credit he deserves because I hold him in such low regard.

One point of interest to me was the play of Cam Newton. He was worse than awful. Mike Mayock's comments about him were telling. Yes, Newton has talent, but I agree with Mayock on this one. Panthers should be concerned about his makeup/attitude. Clearly his cavalier attitude and approach cost the NFC the game.:(

Living down here in the Carolinas, we get force fed the Cam Newton diet on local sports shows. I really hope the Redskins punish them in DC this fall. That game ranks right up there with Dallas for me!

Not sure if that's real beyond the "logo" part being changed on the uniforms. Don't think I've seen anything official about any uniform changes. In fact, the guy in the article below he's heard info from a 2nd hand source. In other words, totally rumor and nothing confirmed.
