NFL Playoffs 2012: Saints And Lions Kick Off Now

The Houston Texans handily defeated the Cincinnati Bengals today. Will the Saints do the same to the Lions?

I doubt it. I think we're in for a competitive, close game. Who are you rooting for this evening?

I call upset alert

Lions 44
Saints 41

In an OT thriller!

Rationally i believe the Saints come in and blow them out, however.

I have to be honest

I’m a little concerened about this game. The Lions aren’t a great matchup for us. Our secondary has given up a ton of big plays, and the lions have a really good pass rush to get after Brees

Don't be

It aint gonna be close. 38-14/17

that is why i'm concerened

shit almighty

Eh it's early
who was singing that intro? ohhhhhhhhhh my ...

Was that not Faith Hill?

Ups needs a little help...............

sometimes

well ... was it?
Yes
Megatron approves ... and ty! :-)
u mean the past jeopardy winner needs some help

ups u okay dude

I was blinded by the leather ;-)
Now see, that dude in the black

THAT is a franchise QB!

Can you grow ONE of those?
Sheldon Cooper could!
I miss that show

When does the new season start?

Next week

Dude I was so late on the show. Me and my gf just got all caught up on everything. Great fuckin show.

same here

I actually caught an episode one night and decided to sit down with the wife and watch all the seasons in a row. Great GREAT show!

Come on NEXT WEEK!

one of my favorites
Ha

It comes on TBS now. So I work nights and was sleeping during the day, half asleep just caught the phrase “what does friends with benifits mean? Does he provide her with health insurance?” And no joke busted out laughing mid sleep. Got hooked every sense

it IS nice to have the best crew in the business announcing the game
Matt Millen is on?
that it lion killer
Picking the Saints.

Rooting for the Saints.

picked the Saints, almost went with Lions ... I think this is gonna be a high scoring game, either way

might depend on how much self-control Suh has … stupid penalties kill that team

yeah your picking the saints because the lions ran the score up on the chiefs
no, I picked the Saints becaue I think they'll win ... at home ... with the more experienced team, and QB
Saints!

Love me some brees!!

he is sooooooooo..............

BreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really drew out that joke.
I see what you did
I'm not lion.
So, I don't need to draw you a picture?
gonna hurt her ... I swear I'm gonna hurt her ;-)
wow, Lions looked too efficient on that drive
I'm impressed by them
Rooting for the Lions

Picking the Saints.

Go Lions

I rooting for all the under dogs this year, well except for the Tebows.

so THAT'S why you're a Chiefs fan ;-)
LOL

Maybe you’re right:P I just wish it was the other way around. Someday I hope to watch this type of QB play coming out of K.C you know what I mean.

good job

last sunday thanks for beating us hopefully we will foucs and do the AFC west well

that won't happen

but nice to have you around j-man :)

np

lol man i picked NO to win the bowl go saints

they just might

tonight should be a fun one

good luck tomorrow, j-dude! (you'll need it)
yeah we will

hopefully John fox will act its like 2011 insted of 1961 lol

You really wanna be slingin that ball

With that QB?

Hey J-man

Both our coaching staffs need to pay attention this game, this is what a real QB looks like.

i heard cassel doing film study on this game

let matt study please

The whole league could take notes
fuck ,our secondary cant cover

this is going to be a long game

Don't expect any secondary to cover

you may get your heart broken

there will be a bunch of sabby's out there in the secondary for both teams
I want DET but I picked NO in the league I'm in
Brees

throws one hell of a ball.

Stafford can heave a good one too
Shoot out baby, I'm lovin it!
sproles is such an upgrade over bush

so glad we got him

ouch, killer fumble
Go Lions.

I gotta see another Schwartz/Harbaugh post game hand shake encounter.

Doesn't that only happen if they both make the nfc championship game?
Gregg Williams

looks like he’s about to punch someone in the face

gunther going to play some DE

I don’t think so againest brees

tackle him for the love of god
Holy shit

Those res eyes freaked me out.

hank stram wouldn't let that happen
u can't rush 3 and win saints
Well they punted
Nice downfield blocking by the WR's
that looked like TJ running
a clinic on how to play offense

not just passing, not just running … but everything wrapped up in one

Hey fellas....

Woooa…great shot of downtown N.O. there…

and it's beautiful
it is....looks like downtown is recovering nicely from katrina
woops...sorry LC...you were talking about the clinic...:)
Would be nice to have that QB and line
muir teaching the clinic
Will we ever have a Drew Brees type of team in KC?

Isn’t Pioli supposed to bring that to us?

We basically had the offense with Vermeil
Sean Payton/Drew Brees combo

Once in a lifetime kinda deal.

Kind of like Aaron Rodgers/Mike McCarthy
I wouldn't put them in their category just yet
Brett Favre/Mike Holmgren
No
Yeah that was a little bit much
Walsh/Montana
Ha ok

They did not put up video game numbers

I'll take 4 rings

over video game numbers any day

Who wouldn't?

We’re talking about the offense the Saints are running. The niners didn’t have that. They also had a beast of a defense that mattered as much as their offense

Yes..............

I miss Vermeil’s offense and I hated it when Herm said you couldn’t win championships with that type of offense

With all due respect

F$C% Herm Edwards

I just thought it tasteless............

since he played for Vermeil

In fairness.

That offense only made the playoffs once in five years.

Doesn't make me hate Herm Edwards any less, regardless lol
true...........

but it was fun to watch

Except in the playoffs

/tear

river of tears,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

actually

Rivers of tears.

That is hideous............

but I rec’d it anyway

Need to spread out yer tan baby...
I like Herm's commentary....just not his coaching.
Megatron

Is ELITE.

bowe for megatron deal
wup wup ....TD
u can't rush 3 in the nfl

all day to throw

So this is what offense looks like...
I know right

I’m clapping my ass off for 1rst downs and moving chains

7 points.

Right up the Chiefs’ alley.

yeah they took a couple of pages out of muir book
Any ideas who the Chiefs' OC will be?
Herm Edwards
Scary................................

could be similar to Muirs

I promise not to call the delayed shotgun draw more than once a game.

Hire me.

as long as Charles

is running it then I wouldn’t mind ;)

who runs up the gut then

mccluster

Deal

only if you promise not to run McCluster up a lineman’s ass constantly

Deal.

This is easy. =)

need that button
-

Are you trying to blind me?
Most women think Brad Pitt is hot.
Angelina can keep him..................
Her 27 children need a father.
True............

I wouldn’t want them to be homeless

It would almost be worth it.

True............
Muir disagrees.
I thought he was dead

Nope. Only asleep for the last 17 weeks.

I'm also young enough that the shotgun spread doesn't frighten me on 3rd and long.
scratch mcdaniels off the list

thank god

Should we take a look at

Greg Knapp for OC? He has done pretty well coaching qbs in Houston. If I recall correctly he was oc in Atlanta?

What I am interested to know is if Romeo is choosing the next OC or if Pioli will.

It had better be RAC. But we all have our doubts about that!

RAC said the next coach should pick his own staff.
it better be RAC and hoping we look at Lombardi

Saints qb coach…I’d love to watch this kind of offense in KC. Grant it we need a flipping qb first.

If we get knapp does that mean we get TO
Can't

A judge said his career is over. He’s done.

The ref screwed the Lions out of a defensive TD there.

Or at least some points.

Chiefs Berry > Lions Berry

and Lions Berry > Chiefs Barry

To be fair, everybody's Barry > Chiefs Barry

At least in pass protection. And penalties. And boneheaded plays. So, pretty much everything outside of run blocking.

What about bench warming?

I’d like to keep him but he can partake of some bench

This > Chiefs Barry

In fact, dingleberry > Chiefs Barry

Berry>Suh

That’s right!

I read an article about the Colts wanting to push back the date...............

they owe Peyton his bonus

Wouldn’t that be convenient!

They can't, right?

I thought there was something that said they couldn’t…and why would Peyton want to at this point?

so jealous of these offenses and qb's!!
And their right tackles

that don’t ole D-linemen

How about their entire teams.....................

hey can we switch unis?

well i still like our d more than these two

Especially how our d started playing last half of season but I get what your saying

yep.............

our d is on the right track but our offense………………

yea our O is non existant and we need to bring in a great OC
It'd be sweet to see a Schwartz - Harbaugh rematch.

That’d be a game that nobody cared about who won but all eyes on the end of game handshake.

Gotta think that it would be a great game.

That said, I’m still rooting for the Saints.

How did the official

call that a TD? He was standing right next to the receiver in the endzone?

Too busy reaching for the flag for a BS personal foul call. Dumb ass refs.
weak call but would like to see a td here

Aaaah the NBCee It Cam. How intuitive.

I heard Nick Wright say this week

that the winner of this game is the Superbowl winner this year. He must not think much of the Packers anymore, huh?

More along the lines of the 49ers.

I think he’s under the impression that the Saints/Lions winner will have the best chance to beat the Pack (and therefore, the entire AFC).

Saints aren’t a bad pick, but I think the Pack can take ’em. I want to see the SF/GB matchup.

what did whitlock say this week

Likely something about Jeff George or Sarah Palin

I didn't know Jeff and Sarah were getting married!
Shotgun wedding

Republicans don’t get divorced, do they?

No.

That would ruin the sanctity of marriage.

Double barrel?
whitlock that guys is the king of Bull shit
hey, Jason's my main man
u got a jeff george jersey
waiting for the Chiefs to sign him up

they need a decent QB, right?

He, Muir and RAC could play dominoes together in the offseason.

well palko on the team so are u saying there a

chance

Lions are 5-0 this season when leading at halftime; Saints are 1-3 this season when trailing at halftime

Should we even keep watching?

every streak has to be brake.
and that was indeed a TD ... he had it til he hit the ground, and the ground can not cause a fumble
It wasn't ruled a fumble.

It was ruled an incomplete pass. And the ground can certainly cause those.

the ground can cause an incomplete pass? really?
Yes, really.

Did you not watch?

yes I did watch and it as BS call ... the ball was in the guy's hands, it crossed the plane ... across the goal line

that’s the definition of a TD

Where was the “football move”?

football move?

since when do you need a football move?

How long have you been watching football?
counting the first game about 5 hours
hank stram taught him well
Since the days of leather helmets

and single-wing offense

They didn't have the rule back then.
didn't have helmets for that matter ...
just like old school hockey
I know

just felt a little asshole-ish (:

Ups was a leather head?
sand lot football
No it's not.

He never established possession. You have to establish possession all the way to the ground. He did not. It was an easy call, as the announcers and the officials said.

I"m not sure............

he had trouble identifying Faith Hill

don't start!

she used to have shorter hair

get ready to defend your crown on jeopardy ups
Had to complete going to the ground with the ball, which he didn't.

It’s the “Megatron Rule”, and it was consistent with the way that one was called.

Even easier to call than the Megatron non-catch.
Way easier.

Megatron at least took a couple steps before flipping the ball.

once he touched the ground it should have been TD

especially considering Megatron

But he didn't catch it.

That doesn’t count anywhere in the field of play. He went to the ground without establishing possession and the ball came out.

he had possession in my mind
Unfortunately, he never had it on the field.
Ball hit the ground while he was still making the catch, in my mind.

I didn’t see clear possession at any time, and I want the Saints to win.

Same.

I wanted it to be a catch, but it clearly wasn’t. Not even a controversial call, IMO.

and what's Kalo doing on this thread ... there's no defense here
I came for the defense, but I'm staying for the offense.
Because it's not offensive
It's official

No McD in KC

that was offcial hours ago when the Pats announced that McD would be working with O'Brien thru the playoffs

Will McD get a superbowl ring if they win it all?

Prolly since he will be on the staff

Talk about being in the right place at the right time damn….

I really don't think that's going to come up.
NASA considering the secretaries get SB rings
Crap iPhone

Naaa

I meant the Pats aren't going to win the SB.
Chiefs probably never had a chance.

Since Hoodie wanted him back.

I don't count it official until Dungy says its so on NBC
So weird.

This sort of situation has never happened before, correct? I can’t think of anything even close to this.

Who's next at the OC option?
weis

he’s been at kansas for over a month now its time to move on

so if he comes here, he would be here like over a week, right?
10-14 days which is an eternity for weis
rent a weis on sundays
Meacham just got bailed out by Henderson there.
Uh wow that was fast

If only we had a QB….

Drew Brees is too short to ever do anything in the NFL, didn't you know?
Oh ya sorry
oh that's right

prolly why they got Chase Daniel as backup

scary...........

that is what I was thinking

Heh.

Yeah, this. If anybody in the NFL doesn’t give a shit about QB height, it’s NO.

like that kid Kellen Moore......
Hmmm MAYBE Kellen Moore is like that...
I'm not saying that, necessarily.

Just saying that these size absolutes need to be reassessed.

I agree but

I do see it being naturally easier if you’re taller since the DE are huge now

I'm not saying it doesn't help.

But guys plummet because of it too often, and not just at the QB position.

What about LaMichael James?
What about him? Too short?

Darren Sproles led the NFL in all-purpose yards this year.

Where do you see him going?

And do you think he’ll be a good NFL player?

Uhhhhhh...dunno where I see him going. I'm not a draftnik.

But the dude is shifty. I think he’s got a career as a 3rd down back. I think his production could be Reggie Bush-ish. Not the expectations for Bush, but his actual production in the league.

Sounds about right.
And nothing wrong with that.

Especially for a middle round pick…which is where he’s supposed to go, right?

2nd or 3rd I've heard.
A 2nd?

That might be a bit more than I’d give up for him, but I just don’t rate RB’s highly. Not enough shelf life for my liking.

Dexter McCluster.
And I like James better than Dex.
So do I.

Which is why I think 2nd is a very good possibility.

Can't really argue with that logic, when you put it that way.
He doesn't play QB :)
not just at the QB position.
Makes sense

But 70%+ completion for Moore should be seriously considered

Play action opened it up for them there. When we get Charles back...

it will help open up the passing game regardless of who is at QB.

Kyle Orton play action.... a beauty
not with cassel he will panic and throw it at linemans feet
Yeah I'm afraid cassel has PTSD from watching broke get killed over the years
Or Eric Weddle's
oh yes the memories
and Saints are back just. like. that.

Dingy said to let him air it out. That Dungy is a smart cat.

we should hire him as our OC.....
Yup.

And trade for Peyton.

and fire pioli and bring the polian family
I'm for it if manning is in on the deal
not a bad idea. i saw jets were thinking about

Tony Spagnulo (sp?) As OC if schotty leaves.. Is he worth a shit as an OC? Would it be worth going after him? By him I mean Spags…

I thought spams was defensive but I dunno
or am i thinking sparano from the dolphins..
Dingy knows what's goin on
lol mobile auto correct...gets me all the time
Alright Lions.

Keep it close and interesting please. I’m rooting for overtime!!!

You at Buffalo Wild Wings??
Tamba Hali didn't see a hold there.
There a never a hold Hali rule in the NFL

Didn’t you know?

I'm quite frustratingly aware.

Especially during the breakdowns. Gets me angry all over again.

Yeah I agree it's pretty sickening seein the chokeholds on every play
That is NOT a first down.
It is now

but it really wasn’t

so nice to watch teams pass on 3rd and long inside own 10

And not run a draw play and punt

You mean you get to throw a pass on 3rd?

I thought there was a rule against that

there is in KC
Oh makes perfect sense now
Bad pass from Brees .....noooo
Nick Fairley was closer than he should have been to that official.

He was throwing a fit and about stormed into the side judge running towards the pile.

Starting to lose their cool

Has Suh’s name even been called?

Someone slammed him to the ground earlier.
I love Failey flexing his muscles

And then Brees pickin up the first. Fuckin moron

fairley is a moron

Bout as dumb as Suh

Or the 40 yd pass and subsequent TD

Like they were playing a HS team

wow what a throw
had nothing to do with the throw, it was the move by Graham
No doubt.

Dropped it right in to Colston, and great quick slant to Graham.

the Colston throw was a thing of beauty
just like cassel does
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
where gunther at

get your camera out a melt down is coming

And his players will follow his lead.

Bunch of thugs, which is why I can’t root for them.

doesn't the head coach have a similar attitude?
Wasn't too long ago where we had a nasty d due to him
The head coach?

Gunther hasn’t coached a nasty D in KC since DT and Neil Smith. That was quite some time ago.

Maybe.

He had that thing with Harbaugh earlier.

only when other coaches celebrate a big win

He seems to not take that well..

So he should do something to stop them.
Yup.

I like Megatron, and I like Stafford. Outside of that, I see a lot of thuggish behavior.

I like Pettigrew
I've seen him do a lot of shoving.

And didn’t he throw a punch the last time these guys played?

I don't know

I haven’t really followed anyone but the Chiefs much this year. I just liked him coming out in the draft.

Oh, Jimmy.

Half that spin was on the ground. That was a 270 degree dunk.

/not serious
//still impressive in pads

give the man his due, Kalo ...

like you could do that ;-)

I'm only an inch shorter.

And a former high jumper.

But yeah, I couldn’t do that anymore. Especially in pads. =)

only ups has got ups

or as some would say u couldn’t slip a credit card under his feet.

Oh credit card I was thinking a piece of paper :)
stone tablet?
Too high....:)
Huge brees fan here

So glad chargers didn’t keep him, since he was too short.

Yeah and his bum shoulder
And big contract.

And they had another elite QB waiting in the wings.

Who's next at the OC option?
Hoping for philbin
he wont lateral to kc
Who's the lions OC?
linehan..ex rams coach
al saunders
The one guy older than Bill Muir.
lol i wasnt serious but he can atleast stay awake
A better question might be

Who would crenelated want as OC? Does he prefer a particular style?

Sorry Crennel
Carthon was OC with him at cleveland
And fired by him.
id hope hes not promoted to OC
Agreed.

I doubt if Crennel would follow down the same path that led to his dismissal from Cleveland.

id like to think crennel wants a more pass happy offense

Like were seeing tonight to get our playmakers the ball. Will definitely help open up things for JC. Kinda like the Saints are doing.

I hope so...........

the thought of carthon scares me

Does he run the offense we run?

Dumb question probably but can’t remember.

hopefully not cuz we dont have an offense right now :)
we have anemia.
anyone who can draw up plays to put ball in endzone
Isn't that called a touchdown?
if my memory serves me right..yes it is
What is this Touché Down

Is it French?

tonight it is cajun
Oh la la mon ami
It's that thing where you throw a Hail Mary, the defender bats it down, and you catch it instead.

Pretty sure about that.

It could also be a punt by Colquitt

He just said put the ball in the end zone.

Megatron doesn't give a *@&# about triple coverage.
I realize DNowe is a poor mans megaton

Damn megaton catches balls

iPhone blows

DBowe and megatron

That ball hung forever.

About a yard shy of being a perfect drop in for a TD.

Megaton is amazing
Matthew Stafford is doing his best Greg Jennings impression.

“I put da team on my back”

I gotta eamil you, Kalo ... you and Bewsaf both with "draftnik" type OLine question
I know *thismuch* about the draft.

And very little about OL.

But I’ll try to help. =)

just think in terms of what the OLine can or can't do to the DLine
Our DL? Or in general?

Cause if it’s ours, just pull the RT and run over the weakside. ;-)

in general ...
Just giving you a hard time.

You send it yet?

in a bit

gotta write it first :D

looked like back knee was down before ball hit pylon
Looked like a same-time, to me
Ball crossed before his knee hit.
There's a reason the Lions don't have a power running game Collinsworth

They throw the ball to Megatron for 5000 yds. You have been watching the Chiefs too much

like the Chiefs have apower running game?
They will with DeCastro

;)

so I'm hoping
I'm with you on that

He’s my early favorite for the pick.

A guard, eh?

I’m throwing the checkbook at Nicks if the Saints have to let him go and scooping up the RT in the draft.

rather throw him Clark Hunt's checkbook
You don't think he'd work for $1.73 this season? ;-)
I'd love Nicks too

As long as the O-line gets addressed this season.

Yeah that would mean we could punch it in from 1 yd put

Ok I guess not

okoye coming back
Oh hell I would hope so
Not indisputable I guess
I thought it was an easy call for a TD.
It was too close to call
I disagree.
I thought the knee hit the same time the ball hit the pylon
The ball crossed the front of the line

before it hit the pylon.

Game was closer than I thought it would be to be honest
figured it would be higher scoring ... but still about like this
Lions putting up one hell of a fight

figured Saints would be rolling. How quickly I forgot last season…

Well last yr Seattle beat the saints

They could turn into this decades version of the chiefs

Need Either Megatron/Sproles/Brees to score another TD,

for my fantasy playoff challenge team. Other than that, this is a hell of a great game to watch!!!

Brees has all day to look around
Please don't say the Chiefs hold that record for losing the most playoff games in a row...
Nah, shouldn't be.

What is it sitting at right now? 4?

7
My bad 6 straight
Yup, just saw that, too.

I must have lost a couple of those years through drinking.

I was 1 the last time we won a playoff game
Never mind the thing I was ready confused me 7 straight
Oh, right, yeah.

Was discounting ’93 because we won one then. Neglected to count the next game as a loss.

6/7 what's the difference
The lions are going to tie us woooooooooooooooo
Hoping this one goes down to the wire

Entertainment at work.

haven't won a playoff game since montana
Oh hell that's shitty
more than
True... If we could make a FG it would be better
Pierre Thomas has broken a shitload of tackles today.
He's putting on a show
S'what he does.

They’ve a better rushing trio now than when they had Thomas, Bell, and Bush

And they go four deep with Ingram and Ivory.
Yup, they've the best stable of backs in the league. Easy.
Saints haven't punted all night

Sounds familiar.

Eehhhh yeah it does
damn

3/3 on 4th downs tonight.

Gotta make that INT

that’s why Eric Berry > Aaron Berry

Can't wait for EBs return
It's pretty amazing. Chiefs seriously have the best fans.

Other fan bases would have long given up after not winning a playoff game in 10+ years

We're sadistic we like pain that's all
Redskins are on the same level

Think they’re winning the SB every year

Good thing we didn't bid on Sproles wow he sucks huh
Who said that?
And now the Saints start to put them away
That is to very definition of a "scat-back" right there.
sproles is rediculous

So quick

turn out the lights, the party's (almost) over ...
u kiddin? its new orleans

party’s never over

Damn I have to finish my drink not yet haha
what did they turn the lights on at the bar
Still early.

For this game.

Goddamn Sproles just burns defenses down!!

Wish KC got him before the Saints did. Imagine JC/Sproles/MC as our RBs!!!

What a nightmare 3rd and 1 would be.
Still.
It's a good thing we didn't sign a high priced FB in free agency.

Oh wait…

Especially one who also serves as a power back.

Oh wait…

What offense is this?

Does NO run the EP offense like we do? Or is it west coast or something else?

Do we run an offense?
In theory
Must be applied mathematics since it doesn't make a hill of beans of sense to me
Draw, RB screen, Delayed Draw, WR Slant.

Am I missing anything?

Ok I get it. Wow

We really suck

I'm being overdramatic, of course.

Just feels so damn vanilla.

Haley is an offensive genius.

Haven’t you heard?

Most team in the nfl run the EP right?

If that is the case, wow. We need to get right quick.

For the most part, yes.

Couple exceptions (Denver, usually NO, etc) but yeah mostly.

mail on da way
Oh the chiefs

Yes we do

wr bubble screen and hail mary

other than that, you got it all

and dont forget the iso with a 165 lb back
Hitch, TE seam (with Colston)...
Ah, talking Chiefs, here..
Well, Sean Payton DID coach under Parcells...
It's called the get the $&@"ball in the end zone O
Aaaand that'll do it.
Uh-oh.

Brees can ice this.

I haven't really watched the Lions much

is their defense really as bad as New Orleans and Green Bay make them look?

they looked good against the chiefs
Everyone looks good vs them
Except the Packers.
True that was an amazing win there

That’s when the mayor of RAC city was elected.

They ave a few holes but they are actually solid IMO
Their secondary seems to be a bit lacking today.

That was an exclamation point to your statement.

stafford needs to lose fat ans gain arm muscle

always under throwing

That last pass his arm was held
he had let it go before though
plus he is still chubby
Hahaha
what the hell happened

turned away for one second and Saints are up 17

That was one hell of a pump fake
Someone decided to bust coverage
stick a fork in 'em ... they're DONE
And Brees does it again.......
Wow a QB that sees the open player what's that???
Cassel would have been criticized for underthrowing it.

Even if he made the same exact throw.

Exactly but I'd be shocked if he made it
Did that dude have red eyes?
He did.

Wasn’t that Vandenbosch?

Sports contacts.

They have brown ones for golf

"Fire Gunther" comments at lions blog..... i saw that coming.....
I like him as DC actually bring him back here then
No he did ok the last time he was here
No he didn't.
Nice.

Gives him something else to whine about.

Lions only had the 23rd rated defense based on yardage and point allowed per game

wildly overrated

Kalo ... you've got mail :-)
I'll hook you up with a more detailed response, but my answer is going to be a "Both" solution.

=)

cheat!

what, you practicing for politics?

either / or … no fence sitting! :-)

What if one is in FA and one is in the draft?
nope ... gimme an either / or answer

is interior as a whole more important … or not? (that’s ONE reason I want DeCastro)

If it comes to that?

Lilja @ LG > Barry @ RT, in my opinion. But I’d say interior is more important generally. So I’d go RT with this team.

I think Lilja will look better with Hudson next to him.
That's a fair point, as well.
wait, you said interior is MORE important

then DeCastro at LG should be the choice

More important GENERALLY.

But not for THIS team. Barry hurts us waaaay too much. RT should clean up pass protection a bit, and like Tarkus pointed out: Hudson should help Lilja look better this next year.

that Brees fella, he's almost as good as Matt Flynn!
Pft!

Let’s not get carried away.

I qualified it with "almost"
Now you're just talking crazy
Oh gawd

They are both system QB's

then I want this offensive system!!!1
Well you know the chiefs won't

There all about run, run, pass, punt O

I don't know

Flynn threw for 6 TD’s. That means he’s the best QB ever and if the Packers are stupid enough to stick with Rodgers and let him go, Pioli should sign him immediately or he should be fired.

Somewhere in this nation, Barry Sanders is internally jumping for joy.
his son is going to Stanford

gonna run wild in the Pac-12

that is a smart choice good education
yeah, not a bad move

some surprising commits the last couple days. California has a monster recruiting class coming in.

Yep.........

he was their whole team for years

He was my favorite player growin’ up.

He was a lot of fun to watch
He was no Emmit Smith.

In that I liked him.

Yeah running what's that

Just pass it to Megatron that’s different

112 points recieved already!! Need another td to pass the wildcard round,

and best thing is, still got one WR slot unused, a kicker, and a defense open slot. :D Nice!!!! Victor Cruz better come up big!!! XD

Your still in fantasy football?
probally playoff fantasy
^Yep, but i was to late to get the regular season fantasy league.

Friend showed how it was done, ever since ive been hooked.

I know but most ended on the end of the reg season
ok, that was Megatron CLASS!!!!!

score and hand the ball to the ref … no dancing, no celebrations, class, respect … act like you’ve been there before

ALL players should be like that ALL the time

the Marcus Allen Rule

Also the Barry Sanders rule.

He looks classy in that Acura commercial too!
Being down by 17 might have had something to do with it.

Or not, I’m not sure if he does that all the time or not.

maybe

but I’ve seen players down by more who did stupid celebrations for less

Truth.

And I hate it when it happens.

The Santonio Holmes rule
And Barry Sanders.

But, to be fair, there’s no reason to celebrate there. They’re down big.

Terrible onside kick

But still better than Succop’s :)

HAHA

Game, blouses!

Brees is putting on a clinic
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my!
Absolutely disgusting what Brees is doing to these safeties
They have safeties?
Heh right...

May as well just blitz them.

If I remember Gunther built his rep on blitzing a lot

Maybe it’s me but has that never really worked?

At least has it worked in kc or Det?
When he had DT and NS.
I wonder if the time that QBs take is shorter now.

Might have made his defenses obsolete

He had great DBs too.

Just a great defense in general. Easy to dictate to the other team when you have that kind of talent.

Think the Lions will pick up some CB's in the offseason??

jeebus

DB’s, that is.

And some DL =)

Seems like the one they got ain’t cutting it!

My god.

49ers have to stop this? Good luck, San Fran.

saints have to play outside

9ers can slow the game down with their run game. should be good.

Yeah, but outside in Cali?

May as well be indoors

true

should be around 55 at kickoff next week. grass instead of turf. will throw their game off a little possibly.

Good point.

But Brees is playing so much better than everyone right now. Hard to think this offense doesn’t click, even if they’re hampered a bit.

yeah, i'm favoring the saints

they just look damn good. i’d say packers-saints are 1 and 1A right now. the niners just seem like a tough team.

Niners take the AFC, if they're over there, in my opinion.
i'd probably agree

the elephant in the room in the AFC is the Patriots not beating a single team with a winning record this year. I have no clue who goes the SB from that side. I’m confident it will be the Saints or Packers from the NFC.

I'd say Baltimore, but I don't trust Flacco.

So by default, I think it’s Brady and the Pats.

First year ever

that nobody from a conference qualifies. The NFC wins the Super Bowl by default.

this could happen
Yup.

NO, GB, and SF automatically go to the final four. AFC plays to get into the final four. =)

i dont trust flacco

but i’m leaning baltimore over steelers in the afc title game.

Could be.

Shoot, any of those teams could come out of there. Houston?

Don't sleep on the Steelers.
boring team, always put me to sleep
Ben's injuries leave me questioning them a bit.
Supposedly he's getting better, though.
yeah, i have a feeling it will be them

but it can’t be them, it just can’t be.

i don't want the patriots either

texans or ravens i could live with.

They won't be running much if the Saints get up big
And with no really good receivers

Shit, I think they stomp the Niners too

49ers have a good defense too.
They won't be running this lousy ass Cover-2, I reckon..
Oh, and they can actually play ball control
I get that.

But this Saints offense is scoring too damn quick right now. Ball control may not be enough. They’ve got to put up some serious points on top of that.

this is a bad lions defense though

9ers are built around their defense.

Spread em out

Becomes very difficult for a D even like the Niners.

It'll be much closer, yes.

This thing is a juggernaut, though.

Woah now

Slow ya roll, it is most of their teams first time in the show.

Weird

Meant to reply that to your take the AFC comment. Don’t know what happened lol

Oh yeah, they're (SF) inexperienced.

But they’re solid and consistent. I don’t see consistency in any of the teams in the AFC playoffs right now. They all have giant weak spots.

Saints can do the ball control too ... to a degree
Schwartz is going to take out Sean Peyton's good knee after the game
Quick, get Tonya Harding on the horn
does gunther get fired
I'd say he better have a contingency plan
His contengency

is bitching about everyone in the media, saying they aren’t qualified to criticize him.

and flipping of fans

Tark – I’m vacationing in Vegas this spring. I need some tips. 2nd time for me, my wife’s first time in Vegas. mid-20’s in age, balling on a budget.

Toss me some email.

I’m not a big touristy guy, but I can probably help you out a little.

This teams winning the Superbowl
Stafford's INT was the final nail.

This has actually been a really good game. Rooting for the Saints all the way.

You think Gunthard will be around in Lions organization?

His defense has been getting torched

616 yds of O boy that sucks ass

The chiefs do that all the time

They do

Just takes them about 6 games.

Haha +1

That is true

more than that................

especially if seven is their magic number

isn’t 7 a biblical number?

I think it's Cassel's number
So it is then?
that depends on how he plays on sunday
now its completly done
Game over.

A lot better game than I thought it would be.

Collinsworth thinks “Matthew Stanford” had a great year

He has a great legacy with the school and all
Berry might be collecting unemployment soon.
I love it

Drop 50 on these fucks

Lions defense making a lot of penalties, reminds me of the Raiders when they lose.....
how about gunther he might get canned
Hell No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i know but he might get fired
With good reason
For us?

No, no, and hell no.

absolutely not!!!
ok, what I really want is ... DeCastro, Nicks and Dwayne Allen (TE)
Wait, both DeCastro and Nicks?

That’s one guard too many for me. Give me Nicks and Martin/Reiff.

thought Nicks was T
Nicks is one of the best guards in the game right now.

He just dominated Suh and Fairley all game. I want the surefire guy, especially when the OT crop in FA is weak this year.

I was close

how old is he? like 26ish? doubt Saints let him go, but if so … oh HAYL yeah

Yeah, he's young.

They’ve gotta pay Brees and Colston this offseason, and they just paid their other Guard big money last year.

There’s a chance.

gotta figure they'll find the money

Brees might pull a Manning just to keep the guy

LG for the Saints

Played tackle in college if memory serves.

fine, DeCastro and some RT and Allen
for Draftmas?
yesh

and my two front teeth

and a hippopotamus

I saw that movie

It was fuckin terrible.

ending was sad
If he brings stafford, megatron, and scott linehan
.... maybe......
2 for 2 ... NOW do I get a cookie? ;)
Get tomorrows games right

Then MAYBE

deal!

Giants and Steelers

I'll miss the Donkey's lose.............

I have to work

awwwwwwwwwwwww
Pray for Tebow

to get blown out.

blow out..........

that is my hope

Haley going back to AZ
