Chalupa Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Wow. Denver looks like it got the better end of the Orton/Cutler trade. Happy for BDawk and CBuck. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Who cares if they went 16-0 they didn't win the Super Bowl game The biggest single game of the season I bet they would settle for 17-1 or 16-2 if the won the SB All IMO In isolation, it doesn't mean as much; but when you add it in with 3 Super Bowl wins over the prior 5 years, it does add to a tremendous run by a tremendous team. Heck, I'm sure you would be jumping for joy if your team could finish with an 8 win season. I remember when the Pats stunk; they stunk for many years. But the achievements under the Bob Kraft/Bill Belichick tenure is absolutely amazing. They won 3 SB in 4 years; had a 16-0 reg season in 07. Had a winning streak of 18 games (2003-4) followed by one of 19 straight wins. They currently own the second longest streak in NFL history of not losing two games in a row--SF 49ers avoided two straight defeats for 80 games; right now, the Pats are at 68 or 69. They hold the NFL record of most wins in a 5-year span (77-17 over the 2003-7 seasons.) I mean, you can add it all up. Rarely have you ever seen such an extended record of excellence on the football field. So you can hold your nose up in the air, SS1, and talk about that 16-0 season w/ a super Bowl loss as meaningless. I just see it as adding more accomplishment to an already illustrious portfolio. There will be a time when the team stinks again, but it won't happen while Kraft and Bill Belichick run the team. And look out...this team will be in the Super Bowl again this year. Brady and Co. are finally working out the kinks in the offense; and the defense is getting better game by game. Edited October 20, 2009 by connoisseur series500 Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 I dunno, you guys just cut Tully BantaCain, Joey Galloway, and Mike Matthews. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) I dunno, you guys just cut Tully BantaCain, Joey Galloway, and Mike Matthews. Tully is back with the team. They've cleared up a couple of roster spots for whom? Tate and Levoir are coming off PUP, but perhaps there's also a trade in the works? Edited October 20, 2009 by connoisseur series500 Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 59-0?? WTF is going on with the Titans? Maybe the NFL needs a "Mercy" or "Skunk" rule? Nah. When your hometown baseball team is putting up more points on the board then you football team, something ain't right. Quote
paul secor Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 New Yorker article on head injuries in football: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/10...a_fact_gladwell The photograph at the beginning of the article shook me up. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Trust me i ain't comparing the Browns and the Pats Two teams going in totally opposite directions We are a total mess from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top But an 0-16 Browns team is better than no Browns team Themzz my dawgs Quote

I felt the same way when the Pats were going through one dismal season to another. Quote
Free For All Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Tate and Levoir are coming off PUP As is Michael Vick. Quote
Quincy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 There will be a time when the team stinks again, but it won't happen while Kraft and Bill Belichick run the team. I don't know about that as sometimes the game passes by great football minds. Shula and Landry are a couple of examples and there are more. Granted it may be many years before that happens to Belichick, but it happens to most, even the great ones. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 I love to see all the teams wear their throwback uniforms. Especially the Patriots because I hate their blue uniforms. Let me say, if anybody cares, that as far as I've seen, the other AFL teams are wearing 1960 uniforms, but the Patriots are wearing 1962 uniforms. In 1960 the jersey was solid red. In 1961 they added the UCLA stripes, two whites surrounding a blue. In 1962 they changed the stripes to make it two blues surrounding a white. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Tough for the Vikes to get hosed like that immediately after the outstanding Peterson run where he dropped Gay to the turf like a little puppet. Quote

I saw (what I believe to be) the Chargers' throwback road uniforms today, and they aren't from 1960 either. In 1960 (and '61) the jerseys had the lightning bolts on the shoulders, but not the wide powder blue stripes surrounding them. I don't recall ever seeing those stripes before. I believe that they are the throwback unies because they were playing the Chiefs. Edited October 25, 2009 by GA Russell Quote

Noj Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 They got hosed much worse earlier when the zebras negated a Favre touchdown pass on that bogus "tripping" call. Nice home cooking for the Stoolers. Quote
Free For All Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Nawlins! How bout that comeback! Quote
Shawn Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Texans are for real. Cards are for real. New Orleans is scary good. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Browns looked good when we were up 3-0 after that we looked like $h*t Jesus we can't even score a freaking TD Quote
Noj Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Raiders finally yanked JaHopeless Russell in the 2nd quarter of today's 38-0 whooping they took from the Jets. Quote

Free For All Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Redskins, wow. NOT happenin! Quote
Dave James Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 The Eagles started out like a house on fire, lost Brian Westbrook, and now their offense has almost totally shut down. Thank God the Redskins are in turnover mode or this would be another close game. I'll believe the Eagles win only when the fat lady sings, not before. Any team that can lose to the Oakland Raiders is capable of just about anything. Down with Andy Reid. Up with Bill Cowher. Up over and out. Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Down with Andy Reid. Up with Bill Cowher. They may have to fight with the Cowboys and Redskins for his services at the end of this season! LOL Quote
