Tonights game is the season. But we should win.
Tom Brady proved why he is the greatest player to ever grace the sporting World.
Scwartz & Harbaurgh almost fought.
The Packers will go 16-0 & then go on to win the Superbowl.
Philly will make the playoffs, I'm telling you.
Oakland hasn't lost a game in the post-Al Davis era.
& the Colts will probably go 0-16.
-
-I really hope the Colts don't go 0-16 (don't want them getting Luck)
-San Fran is for real. Detroit's last minute offense was disappointing. The scuffle between Schwartz-Harbaugh was hilarious.
-GB is unbelievable. Wouldn't be shocked to see them repeat.
-Philly still has a chance to win that division for sure. But the NFC East will only be sending one team to the playoffs, so they NEED to win that division.
And the most important news of week 6
The Titans are on top of the AFC South and they didn't even have to play ;D
-
Tom Brady proved why he is the greatest player to ever grace the sporting World.
The Colts are doing a better job proving that the title belongs to Peyton, and Aaron Rodgers is easily the best QB in the league this year so far. Dinking and dunking down the field against a tired Dallas D after the Dallas offense threw win the towel doesn't mean shit.
I really hope GB goes 19-0. And Indy goes 0-16. With Campbell out and the trade dealine looming I'd love to see Manning jump over to the Raiders. He'll be healthy for the Playoffs and Oakland may very well win it all.
-
I wonder if they'd pick Luck. I don't know. Peyton still has three really good years left & at least five really solid seasons left, given he fully recovers. The only pro of drafting Luck is him sitting there & learning from one of the greatest QBs of all-time. The con would be he wouldn't play lol. It's not like they would disrespect Peyton & ever bench him. So it would make more sense to get the best possible defensive player in the draft or just get what will be the next great running back in the league in Trent Richardson.
Then again, how do you pass on Andrew Luck?

I don't think you can keep both on the roster with the salary cap. How can you draft a guy at #1, pay him all that cash and sit him on the bench for 4 years. Rodgers sat and waited, but he wasn't the #1 pick with a #1 pick contract. I would have no problem with Peyton leaving and showing the world really how good Polian is at building a team, because even with Luck that Colts team would need a complete make over on the sidelines. Caldwell could make the 89 Niners have a losing season.
And Peyton could go to any team in the league next year and I garauntee they will have at least twice the wins that the Colts get next year.

Oh, if we're playing that game again, I hope the Pats GM threatens to murder every GM in football if they don't give him their best defensive player.
He's matched Marino/Shula with over 30 less losses. He hasn't lost a regular season home game since 2006. All that with a far inferior defense than they had during the Superbowl years. You can't just throw anybody in there & accomplish those things. No doubt the Packers are the best team in football & I can honestly see them going 19-0, but their defense isn't statistically the worst in the NFL (like the Pats D). It's more like the ones that won the Pats those rings years ago.

Remember now with the rookie wages as part of the new CBA, the deals #1 overall pick signs isn't like it used to be.
Example:
#1 pick in 2010 (as part of old CBA)
QB Sam Bradford - Signed a 6 year/78mil/50mil guaranteed
#1 pick in 2011 (as part of the new CBA with rookie wages capped)
QB Cam Newton - Signed a 4 year/22mil guaranteed deal.
The Colts, or any team with the #1 pick next year can totally afford drafting Luck and sitting him.
The rookie wage scale was the best thing the new CBA did
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure the Colts are paying Kerry Collins more right now than Luck will make next year.

Defenses (and wins) aside, Aaron Rodgers is playing the game better than Tom Brady. I'm not a great system makes that star less credible guy. Jordan had the best system in the NBA in the 90s. You'll never hear me say he wasn't the best player as well. And I hated Jordan adn the Bulls. But a lot of QBs can throw dink and dunk passes to 6'8 TEs after sitting in the pocket for 5 seconds. There is nothing Tom Brady does that Aaron Rodgers cannot do himself. There's plenty Rodgers does that Brady simply cannot do.

He'd still be walking into a death trap. What Peyton does with the Colts offense only a handful of QBs in league history could do. won't prepare him for the distaster when he finally does start The Colts losing Peyton and starting from scratch with a brand new regime like Bill Cowher or John Gruden would and should draft Luck and build around him. But sitting on the bennch and watching Peyton won't prepare him for the disaster when he finally does start and gets crunched and by then he'd already be 4 years in the league and a new crop of homerun QBs will be coming out of college. If Luck was on the Colts this year they'd still be 0-6 right now. To quote Ray Lewis it's simply plain and simple a "very below average ball club".

You clearly are a "great system makes a star less credible guy". Because under that system he's as good as Rodgers. If I was a GM? I'd pick Rodgers all day, I won't lie. But Brady is easily the second best QB in the NFL.
-
Anyways, I don't think the Colts get #1 anyways. I think that will go to the Dolphins or Rams. Colts have been showing slow signs of life lately. They'll win 1-3 games. Dolphins are without Henne for the season and Rams are now without Bradford for an undisclosed amount of time.
Either way, Dolphins get #1

I think Brees could do as good as Brady in NE but I don't think Brady could do as good in NO as Brees. Same with Ben. I'd even say that Cutler could do better on NE than Brady could on Chicago. Brady absolutely fucking sucks when under up the middle pressure. I mean he's not even decent by any NFL standards. Cutler still makes some things happen under that crumbling o-line.
Just look at Matt Cassel when he plays in that system and when he doesn't. Brady is definitely better than Cassel but in KC this year Brady, KC would still be 2 and 3 just they are with Matt. With Peyton (healthy) KC would have won at least two of their first three games. SD and either Buf or Detroit. And the same way I predicted 11-5 for NE is '08, and 11-5 for KC in '10, and a complete meltdown for the Colts in '11, is the same way I'm saying what I just said.
Eventually you're going to have to take my track record into account. Call my theory bogus but my predictions have come true. This year I said the Chiefs and cassel would crumble and they did. I said Orton wouldn't last more than a few games and that's what happened. And I predicted Buffalo to be a major player with a possible playoff spot waiting for them.
Is this all based on luck?

I mean, it's kind of simple. NFL teams have footage. Hours of it. If you told me if I did something one way it would work, almost guarenteed, why wouldn't I do it? Teams see it's the best offense in the league & don't try to mirror it at all? Pretty ridiculous, considering even a casual fan as yourself can break down the system..
Clearly Bill runs things the way he does because of Brady. I'm not saying Peyton Manning couldn't do a similar job. I'd even say Drew could do it. But they don't, the stats show that. Sports is a stat driven thing. Legacies are built off of them & just because in your imagination you see Cam Newton winning ten MVPs & nine rings if he played with the current Pats team, doesn't mean he did it & doesn't mean we should just give him credit for doing it.
Like you said, you wouldn't discredit Jordan, yet, you discredit Brady. Basically what you're saying is T-Mac or Vince Carter in their primes could of lead the Bulls to six rings. I mean Jordan had a great system right?

MVP candidate Brady has never actually lead his team to shit, and anything less than a superbowl ring is shit. The Pats won their Superbowls when Brady was still of a middle of the road role player QB. Did he even get any MVP votes during those 3 seasons? Did he deserve any?
He earned and deserved votes for his play in 05, 06, 07, and last year but the Pats never fared any better than the Colts those years.
That being said; the system is great for QBs with limitations to look amazing. We all saw the limitations Kyle Orton had, and cassel had his first year in KC and has now. But under the Wies/McDaniels Erhardt-Perkins they all look like studs, stat-wise.
The other aspect of the Pats is the o-line. It's simply put together better than most teams. Of course it's not appealing to say the Pats won 3 rings and had great later success by winning te line of scrimmage battle. It's very sexy to say the QB puts the team on it's back, but in reality Tom Brady doesn't put 40 guys in his back any more than Cassel did in 08.
It's simple; Brady is a great QB for a great team, but a terrible QB on a terrible team. Manning is a great QB on a great team and a great QB for a terrible team. And that's why the who's better discussion is as stupid as Dan Marino vs Jim Plunkett, who has two more rings than Marino.

You don't even have to turn to rings. The man had 50 TDs. The man threw 36 & 4, you can't do that in a video game on rookie.
Yet, somehow this year he's 5-1 with the worst statistical defense in the league & Matt Cassell & Kyle Orton haven't made it to a league championship game yet.
Why is it that Brady's offenses always seem to score 30+ PPG with WR's like Deion Branch & no name TE's that get league-wide recognition after Brady throws to them? & Kyle Orton & Cassell struggle to win games, yet found a way to last season?
& where is the Sam Bradford prediction considering you're crazy for McDaniels?

Nearly half of those TDs in the 50 year were Moss making the play or Bill running up the score on a beaten team. When you play with no class you can score a lot. Manning had 49 at the end of week 16 and with week 17 on the way against a very easy Broncos D and Manning hit the bench. Brady was scoring TDs on 4th down after the Pats were already leading by 5 TDs. Think about how many TDs Rodgers could have right now if Green Bay was coached by the 07 Bill Belicheck. I think twice now Rodgers has had two 3TD first quarters and not scored a single other one the rest of the game because the Packers dominated the lead all game.
Stop ragging on Bill's defense. The Cowboys are a high powered offense and the Pats turned the ball over like 4 times and the Cowboys were still held to 16 points. How's that for a stat? If the defense was as bad as you think they would have lost to Dallas. Their defense was also fine against your Jets last January. Brady simply can't make a tight throw with pressure in his face. he gets rattled, and always has. Give him 5 seconds in a wide open pocket and he can find the wide open guy, but so can a lot of QBs. But you'r ea Jets fan, and you probably think Namath was a great NFL quarterback, and since Brady is the modern Namath I expect you to think this way.
I never called for Bradford to shine just yet. He hasn't learned the system and didn't even get to meet McDaniels until August. Orton was traded in March and was selected starter in June. I expect Bradford to start shining mid-season.

Lol, you lost when you started defending the pats d. The pats d is horrible at best. The stats back that up. Your cherry picking a couple incidents and acting like that's the bottom line. But you cherry pick all the time in your arguments. That is when your talking about reality, 90 percent of the time you are just calling out nonsense and hypothetical situations that have no basis in reality.
Anybody can cherry pick the times they are right about predictions, any espn talking head can throw out guesses and be right some of the time. That doesn't make them have a great track record, nor you.
