Jets vs. Steelers and Packers vs. Bears! It's Evil vs. Slightly-Less Evil and <3<3<3 A-Rodg vs. Ex-Hatcat — 2010 NFL Conference Chamionships

i always hated the cowboys but goddamn how classic was tom landry

i mean he was the *only* cowboys coach forever + that hat <3

i always confused him with bear bryant.

But center Olin Kreutz said he saw Cutler’s knee “shaking” and “swinging like this,” motioning his hand back and forth quickly, an indication of instability.

“I didn’t think he was going to even finish the half,” Kreutz said. “Then when he came out and tried it again [in the third quarter]; that amazed me.

“If you don’t have an MCL injury or whatever, then you don’t understand. It’s easy to question people from your couch, but it’s really stupid.”

“I feel horrible for him,” Kreutz said of Cutler, who was sacked twice and pressured several other times. “But that falls on us. He was getting hit too much.”

Olin Kreutz = bro

^^^good offensive lineman name

yeah? it reminds me of the name of that birther-lady.

Kreutz is a Bears old timer. Him, Urlacher, Brad Maynard and Pat Mannelly are pretty much the only guys left from that crazy Tobin team that won the division in 2001.

MAYBE A CHICAGO BEARS LINEMAN HOLDS KEY EVIDENCE PROVING THAT PRES. OBAMA IS NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

steelers/bears would have been a nice matchup too, actually.

Ha!, Packers/Wisconsin ownin' yer terrible towel.

Glad that Cutlers teammates are backing him up. Always like to see that.

I still remember that time Damien Robinson tried to take off Aaron Brooks' head and Kyle Turley got up in his face, then flung his helmet across the field and flipped everyone off

Kyle Turley! lol I saw that film, that was aMAZing

Dude was like one or two steps removed from a WWE wrestler.

lol Aaron Brooks can't believe people fell for him as a top tier QB

I think we had Turley in a training camp once but it was when he had moved over to TE

from Wiki, appears Turley is a guy after our own hearts

On Dec. 13, 2004, Turley reportedly had a heated confrontation with Rams head coach Mike Martz. The incident had to be investigated by league security as Martz contended that Turley 'threatened to kill him', a charge that would later be vehemently denied by Turley.

Aaron Brooks had a gun and a couple of decent years, but then he turned stupid. Maybe a bit like Jim Everett, both had some good recievers and a couple of good years and then fell off the wall never to return.

Turley lost a game for the Saint throwing his helmet in celebration. I think Turley is the dude that they made that penalty if you helmet is taken off after a play you get a flag.

well Robinson should have been flagged for what he did to Brooks, he kinda got away with one. what Turley did was really dumb as hell, but it looked worse when there was no context around it in real time. The coach at the time (was it Haslett) said he was going to cut Turley after the game until he saw the replay.

lol apparently he recorded a song about it too O_o

Favorite part of the Packer/Bear games (that did not involve the Packers winning) - I watched the Week 3 game with a bunch of friends at this free theater that broadcasts the Packer games and usually gets a decent crowd. This was the 'infamous' 18-penalty game and there was one drunk guy yelling at the screen on every one. After the 4th flag he was convinced that President Obama rigged the game. "WAY TO PAY OFF THE REFS, OBAMA!!", "OBAMA RIGGED THIS SHIT", etc. etc. It got really funny after a while because this dude was completely serious about it. His wife/girlfriend and his 5 year old kid were sitting there mortified the entire time.

You probably don't want to hear about what i said to the TV screen when Houston beat St. Louis to get into the World Series a few years ago.

I don't know why but I keep thinking of that Simpsons softball episode, where Mr Burns keeps telling Mattingly to 'get rid of that mustache'

Of the Packers six losses: they lost twice by field goals in overtime, twice by field goals in the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter, and twice by four points, with both of those four-point losses coming on the road with quarterback Aaron Rodgers injured. No team in NFL history had ever before had a six-loss season with all six losses by four points or fewer, according to Stats Inc.

they are practically undefeated!

(j/k; they're much better than an average 6th seed, obv.)

Yeah...the fact that they have never trailed by more than 7 in a game is jaw-dropping. Really hoping they can continue that in the Super Bowl.

especially when you consider how injured they've been all year. i think they have, what, 14 players on IR?

(or have had, over the year)

wow that's wild.

psyched!

are yall going to do a probowl thread then?

pro bowl is wack imo

do they not even try or something ;_;

never bothered watching it but idk it's 'an interesting idea'

It's really boring. The only good part was when they competed in rowing boats and stuff but I guess they don't do that anymore.

well a) no one wants to get hurt, and b) the fact that they're only together for a few days makes it hard to install more than an extremely basic offensive/defensive scheme.

hmmn yeah i didn't consider the latter point

yeah it's not like MLB where there's some occasional clowning around (in the past at least) but it's mostly a regular game with 10x as many substitutions, or the NBA where they seem to take it pretty seriously while having fun. the pro bowl is just zzzzzz

a couple of entrylev qs

is there a good summary of vick's season somewhere (described as 'nfl story of the year' in article linked upthread) because i didn't see any eagles games this year iirc, though i did see a few last year where he hardly featured

how good is joe flacco and do the ravens have much chance of becoming a great team in the next few years

favorite pro bowl memory is the year Derek Anderson made it. He threw like two picks and was 7/18 or something ridic.

re: vick--can u see highlights from some of the eagles wins still on nfl.com where you are?

re: joe the flacco--he is a credible starter, prob more steady than special, i think they ask him to do too much a lot of the time. concern w/ravens is losing two hall of famers on defense in the next couple years, but they have a p. good personnel dept. and i think they'll stay competitive.

yeah i can see highlights but is there a good article or s/thing

quite like american sportwswriting

hmmm lemme poke around for you

On Vick:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/19/sports/football/19vick.html

I wonder if Peyton Manning will try to drown and kill Jay Cutler again.

thanks pol

You probably don't want to hear about what i said to the TV screen when Houston beat St. Louis to get into the World Series a few years ago.

the pujols homer to send the series back to st. louis was incredible tho

I will start a ProBowl thread come ProBowl day if such a thread does not exist. Why bc I am sad and pathetic

I hope it's a page of nothing but http://c0848462.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/3d93bd2c4f3f1b33c02182fd0f20476f.pngs.
