Matthew Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 The NCAA & BCS are all about money, not about "student athletes". That's why I like pro sports, no one pretends it's other than the $$$$ Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Posted January 12, 2013 Jerry Jones has completely lost his mind by hiring Monte Kiffin defensive coordinator, what a stupid hire -- geesh, the USC defense was terrible under him. Maybe he thinks he hired Lane Kiffin, Jones is so totally out of it, it's amazing. I'm not impressed with this hire either. Kiffin's getting a bit old to relate to today's players, IMO. Yes, he did good things a long time ago in Tampa Bay, but that was a long time ago. I'm not sure the Cowboys defense will adjust to this new direction. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 My pre-playoff picks for the SB were NE and Seattle. I now think Atlanta will defeat Seattle. Green Bay will defeat SF, which will set up a great NFC champ matchup. I'm leaning towards a Baltimore upset over Denver; and I think NE will find a way to defeat the Texans a second time this season. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 I think Atlanta will defeat Seattle, and I don't think it will be all that close. I agree with your other picks as well, although Baltimore/Denver is one of those that's going to make me change my mind at least four or five more times before kickoff... Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Pete Carroll is a fucking asshole douchebag since before he ran away from that illegal program he ran at USC and I am laughing my ass off. and believe me I got no horse in this race. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Agreed. Glad Atlanta pulled out a win. Quote
jlhoots Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Freeze the kicker, eh? Also "don't score too soon". Although 31 seconds left should have meant a Seattle win. My son always told me, "the prevent defense prevents you from winning"!! Quote

My son always told me, "the prevent defense prevents you from winning"!! Yeah, that was a very easy move down the field for the Falcons. Quote

My son always told me, "the prevent defense prevents you from winning"!! I thought they had won the game when they scored. Passing up that easy three in the first half when they chose to go for the fourth down may have cost them. Still, that Wilson kid put on an amazing show. Quote
Tim McG Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Everyone seems to be assuming that the Seahawks are going to mop up Atlanta. I don't believe it. Neither did I. A paper tiger. And Green Bay was only picked over the Niners because of Aaron Rogers. The Eastern media, once again, refuses to pick any team from the Bay Area. Edited January 14, 2013 by GoodSpeak Quote

Oh - & it's RODGERS Niners lose to Patriots in the Super Bowl. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I thought the game was over by the third quarter. Unfortunately, it seems the Falcons agreed with me... I'm glad it played out the way it did, but I will never understand using the prevent defense when you're down by less than a field goal. It never made sense, and never will. Quote

Oh - & it's RODGERS Niners lose to Patriots in the Super Bowl. I dunno. It was 27-3 at one point in the game, wasn't it? Hm. As to the Niners they still have to beat Atlanta in Atlanta. Not a slam dunk. The Pats, OTOH, will struggle mightily against the Ravens. Quote

Utevsky Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Yes, Pete Carroll made a few dumb calls in the game against Atlanta. Going for a touchdown at 4th-and-1, and not giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Installing the "prevent" defense at the end of the game. "Icing" the kicker. Change any of those, and the Seahawks would have won. It's really too bad because it would have been an extraordinary comeback victory. Not to take anything away from the Falcons. They played well. They can probably beat S.F. and I wish them luck. But the Seahawks will be back next year, and better than ever. Quote
Tim McG Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 As a Niner fan, I wanted the Seahawks. My guys owe them a serious drubbing. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Don't feel bad; after this weekend, your guys will owe the Falcons one as well... Quote
Tim McG Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Don't feel bad; after this weekend, your guys will owe the Falcons one as well... Har. We shall see.... Quote
GA Russell Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 The Bears have hired Marc Trestman as their new head coach. Here's some background on him. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=413656 Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 If the Pats make it to SB they should face a team TBD and right before kickoff Eli strolls out....... Quote
PHILLYQ Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 If the Pats make it to SB they should face a team TBD and right before kickoff Eli strolls out....... It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything or I'd be cleaning up my keyboard now!!! That cracked me up! Right after the last SB I saw Brady's face on the Dos Equis guy, and the caption was 'I don't often play the Giants in the Super Bowl, but when I do, I lose' Quote
Tim McG Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 NY Giants flat got lucky enough to even be in the SB. No fumble, no SB. Same unimpressive 9-7 team from last season. Quote
