I got ground down like a redheaded stepchild for that rpediction. HAH thats all I have to say. HAH! ok one more time HAH! |

Well, this season sucked for Chiefs fans, but it was fantastic to see them send the Bronco players home crying. Love it.
Oh, and I'm guessing that no one including myself will ever spell Jamaal Charles incorrectly again. Love seeing him knock Larry Johnson out of our franchise record book. |

I know if I had a vote for MVP it would go to Favre. I don't even know if the Vikings make the playoffs with Jackson or Rosenfels at QB, let alone the 2 seed.
but most likely it goes to Brees or Manning. I have no problem with that either. Just seeing what Favre did this year at his age was amazing. Everyone thought he would fail towards the end of the season, which he really didn't. He didn't have the greatest december, but it was still damn good, and still led them to the 2 seed. crazy I used to hate hate hate Favre, but I think he was the most valuable this season.

I'm gonna gives the chiefs some credit at this point. Yes they sucked ass this season, but there is some real talent on that team. If they can get a few more pieces of the puizzle and the coaching staff gets a clue they could get good very quickly. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Vikings without Favre won 10 games last year. This year they won 12. So Brett Favre today is all of two games better than Gus Frerotte and Tarvaris Jackson. It's not like the Vikings were a 6-10 team that Favre has taken 15-1.
If you put Brett Favre on the Colts, that is probably not a playoff team. Last edited by kcchief19 : 01-03-2010 at 06:50 PM. |

a game? Even without Manning they are quite a bit better than the bottom tier teams. 7-9 wins Id guess. The Colts do play some defense and they do have an offensive line capable of blocking. Last edited by jbergey22 : 01-03-2010 at 06:52 PM. |

Who's calling the plays for the non-playoff colts? Childress? Unless it was Childress calling the plays I feel very confident Favre could lead the Manningless Colts to the playoffs. With that said I do think Manning is the MVP. Last edited by jbergey22 : 01-03-2010 at 07:07 PM. |

yikes. I tried to make my mvp post as non biased and controversial as I could. lol. that worked I just think it was amazing what he did at the age of 40, and I was saying this year, I said nothing about last year. yea they won 10 games last year, but I don't think they would of won 10 games without him this year, imo. yea they improved by 2 games, but no one will ever really know if Favre is only 2 games better, but if there was some way we could prove it, I'd bet on more than 2.

Yay Chiefs!

I also think you put Brett Favre on the Colts with those receivers?!? Brett is in heaven! he has a great core in Minn, but its also a great core in Indy. Wayne, collie, Garcon are pretty damn solid. Not to mention Gonzalez if he didn't get hurt.

wtf man, the guy hurt himself making a damn cut that could have happened in practice. Of all injuries, that one was the one that other than sitting the whole damn team out could not be avoided... I'm as pissed as any Pats fan right now, but seriously BB isn't to be blamed on that one... FM edit: to add I'm pissed about him being injured, Welker is one of my favorite Pats, but nobody's to blame for it.

Another great stat:
Out of all starting RBs Who had the best yards per catch (not carry)? Adrian Peterson mostly only known for his running, he really really improved his receiving out of the backfield this season.

Yeah it really is hard to know. Last year they could run the ball and were very good at it with a below average QB. Why having Favre(other than the loss of Birk) would make them so much worse on the offensive line is a hard one to figure out. All things being equal(not being able to run ball like last year) I agree that the Vikings were a 6-7 win team this year w/o Favre. |

Yeah good for Johnson and the nay sayers when he was drafted from wherever? I never imagined he would be this good. I just hope Fisher don't pulla fucking Bum Phillips and burn the kid out like Bum did with the "Tyler Rose" back in the late 70s early 80s. Also, Fisher should send a thank card to both Johnson and Vince Young for just about seemingly saving his job. That is not to say he doesn't resign after the owner making him out Young in after starting 0-6. |

I would give my MVP vote to Manning but really this year I think it could go to Manning, Favre, Brees, Rivers, or Chris Johnson and I would not complain.

Yesterday in the Papa John's bowl when they called South Carolina the USC of the East I figured Al died a little bit.
For someone to stay in character as long and as well as he does is amazing. The videos he posted of himself just walking around looking at the remodeled stadium are gold. |

If they weren't going to bother to show up the Bengals should have rested the starters.

So true. To top it off, my wife's mother fell and shattered her arm tonight. My wife is hanging out with her at hospital and will be there tomorrow when they operate, thus spoiling (or at least delaying her birthday plans for me tomorrow.)

So barring an epic collapse in the 2nd half, three of the four games next week will be rematches, jets/bengals, cowboys/eagles, and green bay/arizona. In all three cases, again assuming no changes in the 2nd half,all three games today were dominating blowouts.
Thoughts as to how that impacts the matchups next week? Will Philly and Arizona be more likely to win than usual due to an added desire to erase their week 17 embarrassments? |

Id say the Cowboys are at the biggest disadvantage because winning 3 times in a season against the same team is so difficult.
The Cards didnt show a whole lot today so they should battle the Packers to a good one. It appears the Bengals dont even feel like being on the field right now while the Jets are just physically dominating them. Id give the Jets the advantage in this one next week.

How are stats like the ones I'm seeing nearly midway through the 3rd qtr in the Bengals-Jets game even possible?
9 yards total offense? 1 first down, and that was by penalty? And with Palmer, Coles, Ocho, etc. all playing? WTF? Are they kneeling on every other snap?

A pattern has emerged which means with absolute certainty that the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl.
Two of the three premier franchises in major American sports have already won championships (Lakers and Yankees). Kobe winning without Shaq for the Lakers and Yankees winning with ARod being so unclutch for so long. Cowboys will win with Tony Romo becoming a December/January clutch QB superstar performer and Wade Phillips being a playoff coaching mastermind. The stars are aligned and there is nothing the sporting world can do to stop this trifecta from occuring. Not even Brett Favre. |
