Hi DIB
How is school going?

yes, I know. I live to be able to sit around and do nothing.
I counted down for this break since school began.

And
the Jets lost. We’re two games up. I just wish our last two games looked a little less daunting.
Jets have no chance of winning out.
Phins have the same shot as of as winning out. Which means if they do, we should be able to win at least ONE game.

i kinda of expect
the texans to mail the season in, given their almost loss v. rams

wow
Seymour and Hockstien-RG- (what ever is name is) were fighting….guess ex-pats dont get along when they are ex.

after watching the wild card teams i'm actually not afraid of them
everyone seems to be running out of steam… i think pats beat all of the WC teams right now
I think a healthy Pats team matches up well against every AFC playoff team.

my afc summary, if the season ended today
Colts: inches from beating them, shootout each time
Chargers: scary, can they get over the Patriot hump?
Bengals: Defensive team this year, good weapons can beat them.
Ravens: Close game before, if we contain Rice we have a good shot
Broncos: Lost by a missed field goal, they dont’ look scary lately.

They're the Anti-Redskins.
Redskins lose to terrible teams (Lions, Panthers, Chiefs)
Oakland beats good ones (Eagles, Steelers, Bengals, Broncos)

OAKLAND BABY WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAKE THAT DONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone else just see Wallace make that TD catch against GB?
WOW is all I have to say. Better than Moss’s toe tapper today.
Hire OC.
steeler's better keep their wr coach

No, Green Bay better fire their D Co-ordinator or DB coach
Single coverage of a wide receiver in the corner of the end zone on a Hail Mary pass play? You could take every guy off the D-line and stack them all in a line across the end zone and get better defensive coverage than that. Stupid.

green bay’s d corrd was a pats special team coach or an assistant last year. plus they lost aarron kappman and another cb al harris to IR.
Fire BabeParilli.
Hah, that's even more amusing
since that’s the kind of play where every DB the Pats have would be on the field, and Randy Moss would probably be sitting on the goal-line, too. Yet Green Bay was in single coverage. Dumb.

And 383 yards to Rodgers, who also got 22 and a TD on the ground
Man, what a game. Six TDs through the air – three by each side – no picks, and a QB rushing for a 14 yard TD on the ground. Total of 886 yards of passing? That’s ridiculous.

why are the panthers on nfl sunday night football??
b/c the NFL loves to " u know what" to brett favre….it should have been the packers-steelers or chargers-bengals on snf not this crap meeting

To be fair...
…the Panthers were a playoff team last year.

nfl has the right to change the snf. not mnf
so far this year, all snf games have been good games….the only reason they didn’t flex schedule this game is b/c of the nfl love for favring favre
Chargers/ Bengals would probably get more ratings that this game tonight
Fire BabeParilli.
classy jets fans...throwing snowballs @ the falcons offense when they were about to score...i hate ny
Fire BabeParilli.
Are you honestly surprised?
A team that boos their own rookies and cheers opposition injuries would do that.

I forgot about that
I liked Pennington more than his own fans did, that’s ridiculous.
I was glad he got an opportunity at the ‘Phins, it was sad to see him go down again, although Henne’s a fine QB. I hope Pennington winds up somewhere else and doesn’t pack it in.

The Panther's fans have talked about the possibility down there
then Mr. Moore kills the Vikes on SNF and all bets are off.

I'm watching a replay of it right now
First half just finished (I know the result, of course). Can’t say I’m impressed with Moore thus far – he’s missed an open Steve Smith a few times and almost found Antoine Winfield another couple. It’s just that Favre was even less impressive than Moore. I do like Moore’s pocket presence, though – keeping away from Jared Allen shows more smarts than many rookies possess (that’s you, Sanchez).
I’m struggling to believe the playcalling of the Vikes at the moment – throw two incompletions and then tell Adrian Peterson to convert a 3rd and 10 run? It’s… ye gods, it’s like the second half of any 2009 Patriots game.

It's really like the Vikings thought the game was a gimme.
Moore hangs out in the pocket (out of Allen’s way and hits targets of opportunity). No home runs or highlight plays, but he kept moving the chains especially in the 4th.

Wow, I never appreciated Steve Smith as much as now
Moore was spraying it, and Smith adjusts like a demon. I don’t think he had a long completion that actually went to him – he had to adjust on every single one, regularly beating Winfield to do it, too. That’s phenomenal – Winfield’s a great corner. Smith made him look like Wilhite on some of those adjustments. If anything, Winfield was covering where the ball should go and Steve Smith went where it was actually going.

Woah woah...
…Wilhite played decently this past week! He’s a good 4th corner (Behind Bodden, Butler and Springs). But yeah, I see your point.
Hire OC.
by Richard Hill on Dec 21, 2009 4:05 PM EST up reply actions
Good fourth corner
that’s like saying he’s an excellent 5th running back, or a decent 8th offensive lineman.
Or maybe that’s what you intended.

by JohnHannahRules on Dec 21, 2009 4:09 PM EST up reply actions
Oh, I know
I just remember several games when Wilhite was in a decent position, but couldn’t stop the play. He was there, he was in a position, he tried to do his job, and the receiver just flat out completed it. Not really Wilhite’s fault, but something you’d hope a cornerback would stop.
I didn’t mean it in a “Wilhite = insult” way – I literally meant it like Wilhite. In the frame, arms around the WR, but completion + touchdown kind of way.

I used to like Brett
He is still a good player. I just don’t like the way he jerks around his team(s) and therefore his teammates to get what he wants. I just can’t respect him.

I give Jeff Fisher and the Titans mad, mad props.
MAD props.
There aren’t many teams that could pull out of an 0-6 death-spin like that. And it looks like the resurrection of Vince Young is part of the package. Nice little story going on down in Tennessee.

Funny how Young is the best QB out of that draft class...
considering all the knockers he had going in. “Another Mike Vick” and all that.

Good to see you around these parts. Epic game your boys just dropped — hope McD can pull them into form come the playoffs (I think you’ll get in as a WC).

I think we'll match up better against you guys this time around!
We have a running game and we’ll have a more physical defense!

They should really have to put the Mile High thing in the salary cap
It’s definitely a 12th and 13th guy on defence. Balls sailing, lungs burning, etc.

if the panthers beat the vikings
i will official have no clue how to ranks the pats in terms of how good they will be in the playoffs. ’everyone seems to be running out of steam…
This facking sacks
as some of the more “special” Bostonians like to say.
Current Phinsider Feud Points: 23
T.Lex doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt. Can't just suppress sixty five million years of gut instinct.
Fun Fact:
There are 12 teams within a game of .500 (ie: 6-8, 7-7 or 8-6) as of now. 18 teams have an average of less than a TD difference in their Points For/game vs their Points Against/game. 10 teams average less than a FG. That’s parity.
5 teams have a Winning Percentage of .300 or lower
5 teams have a Winning Percentage of .700 or higher
However…
AFC South has no one under .500
That’s crazy.
