[Puck]

Go Titans

[Colt Classic]

Screw that bootleg other thread...this one is 100 proof.

[Puck]

I merged yours over here . C&O

[Puck]

Watt was held

[Brylok]

JJ Watt has been on IR for weeks. I didn't know you could just bring someone back from IR willy nilly like that. Seems odd. Go go Buffalo

[Spike]

Go Bills, kick the Texans ass. O'Brien is a hack as a coach.

[Puck]

I haven't watched the Bills much this yr but I like Allen.

[Puck]

Holy Shit . Bill's D is getting some serious pressure on Watson . Theyre gonna kill him

[Brylok]

Man I wish Jerry Hughes would have worked out for us. I wonder what the real story was with that...

[Puck]

Man I wish Jerry Hughes would have worked out for us. I wonder what the real story was with that...

Give me that entire defense and Leslie Frasier too

[Puck]

Allen reminds me a lot of Luck

[Brylok]

Allen reminds me a lot of Luck

He should have been the Pro Bowl alternate instead of Brisket. He's wayyy better QB

[Puck]

He should have been the Pro Bowl alternate instead of Brisket. He's wayyy better QB

yea that's just fucking retarded

[JAFF]

Give me that entire defense and Leslie Frasier too

He was a young immature kid and he finally grew up. Not about talent

[Puck]

Damn!!!!

[Brylok]

Heard some boo birds as the teams run off for halftime

[Puck]

If... IF ... the Bills pull this off they play the Ravens. That would be a great game

[PowayColt]

The more I see Josh Allen the more I want us to draft a quarterback. I don't see Brissett doing what Allen's doing. Find a QB!!!!!

[Puck]

Wtf???????

[Brylok]

Buffalo robbed of a kickoff TD. Ridiculous

[Brylok]

NFL just makes up the rules as they go

[Spike]

Watson getting the shit kicked out of him.

[Spike]

NFL just makes up the rules as they go

NFL has terrible leadership.

[Brylok]

NFL has terrible leadership.

The last few years have convinced me that the referees influence the outcome of games. NFL games are not strictly on the level

[Puck]

Lets Go Buffalo

[Brylok]

I still don't know how Watt is eligible to play today. He's been on IR for weeks and weeks

[WaynesWorld87]

One thing is certain. These commentators are definitely rooting for the Texans. They're not even kind sorta hiding it.

[Brylok]

One thing is certain. These commentators are definitely rooting for the Texans. They're not even kind sorta hiding it.

So are the referees/NFL

[Puck]

fuck

[Brylok]

I put the TV on mute. Sick of the cheerleading for HOU

[Brylok]

Gross. Referees change the outcome again. I'm done with football for today

[HoosierinFL]

Man I wish Jerry Hughes would have worked out for us. I wonder what the real story was with that...

Grigson was the real story. He was cleaning out as many Polian players as he could.
Remember he also let Freeney go.
Imagine if we had kept Freeney, Hughes, and Mathis, and found a way to get them all on the field all the way through 2017.

[Puck]

Come on Buffalo..... shut this crowd up

[Puck]

he'll miss this

[Puck]

damn . Fuckin Allen nearly cost them the game. WTF is that kid thinking?

[Racehorse]

Come on, Jills!!!

[Racehorse]

Horrible throw

[Puck]

How in the hell do you not block Watt?

[Puck]

Wow

[Puck]

Why have they completely given up on the run?

[Colt Classic]

That blindside block penalty seemed kinda wrong--or is my interpretation of it incorrect? The player who was blocked was looking right at the guy who made the block.

[Puck]

how did they give him a first down???

[Racehorse]

Well, that game was entertaining. Wonder if Boring Brady will let us all down.

[Colt Classic]

Romo referencing the '98 Pacers/Bulls ECF. :eek:

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Derrick Henry with a John Riggins-like effort in this game.

He has set a new franchise record (1960 - Present) for yards rushing in a postseason game.

[WaynesWorld87]

Well, it sucks the Bills choked against the Texans, but at least the Patriots lost.

Strong showing by the AFC South today. And how fucking terrible was the AFC East this year?

[Puck]

atta Boy Tom . hahahaha

[Butter]

I love that the end of the Pats-tits game the Pats went all clown shoes.

[Puck]

Brady's last play in front of his fag fans . a pick 6 to loose the game . hahahahaha

[Puck]

Boomer Isiason is now on suicide watch . hahahahahahaha

[nate505]

Ding dong the witch is dead

[1965southpaw]

I love that Vrabel used Bellicheats tactics to defeat him. Karma is sweet.

[Puck]

Yep and the cheatin bastard was pissed off about it bitching to the refs . BUt just a few weeks ago he did the exact same thing and was smirking on the sidelines while he did it....

FUCK them!!!

Now that it worked against the Patriots in a nationally-televised playoff game, the NFL might consider amending the rule in the off-season for such situations.

[1965southpaw]

Oh just fuck me.....cue the excuse machine in the CBS studio. None of the other 31 teams got a pass for injuries or lack of weapons. They can't just say that Brady's skills have begun to decline. :mad:

o


And/or that he perhaps has gotten a little too much credit for winning championships with superior teams surrounding him and a superior head coach on the sidelines for most of his career ........ somewhat similar to Bill Russell in basketball, who almost always had superior teams surrounding him when his Celtics faced off against Wilt Chamberlain's Warriors, 76ers, and Lakers in the post-season.


This season is an example of Brady getting just a taste of what truly great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino had to go through when they would often almost singlehandedly carry average teams into playoff contention, and then get harshly judged and critiqued by the dumb-asses who view winning championships as the ultimate definition of how great a player is/was.

[Brylok]

What a horrible football day. I'm bowing out, and I forfeit my Soda's Picks if I haven't already lost anyway. Dark days ahead for the Colts I'm afraid. See y'all around the draft

[njcoltfan]

The last few years have convinced me that the referees influence the outcome of games. NFL games are not strictly on the level

You'll never convince me, now that a lot of states having legalized gambling, that these refs aren't betting on games!!! Theres just so many obvious, and blatant wrong calls !! The NFL needs full time refs that can be held accountable for their ineptitude !!!

That was beautiful.

[omahacolt]

Solid A on the title

[albany ed]

I have this strange feeling that BB retires and McDaniels becomes the HC, with Brady as his QB.

[Chromeburn]

I have this strange feeling that BB retires and McDaniels become the HC, with Brady as his QB.

We will see. McDaniels will get several job offers. But Belichick is behind that defense and that is what keeps them competitive. Brady won't do so well with a defense that say Peyton had most of the time.

[HoosierinFL]

Its hard for me to not believe that was scripted, and I hate saying that because it sounds like a conspiracy nut. But it felt like a passing of the baton from Belicheck to Vrabel with that run the time down with multiple penalties nonsense. Plus the offside by the Pats during that sequence was so unnecessary, how did that happen?
Since when do pats receivers drop so many easy passes? Brady looked disinterested from the very start, both in his expressions on the sideline as well as what looked like a complete lack of effort on his part on the field. He looked like a defeated boxer who knows he has to take a fall in the 7th round and is just hanging around until its over.

Plus, the pick 6, the exact same play occurred earlier, with a tipped pass (another uncharacteristic drop) going to the DB, who dropped it, and it was like they just repeated it again like it was supposed to happen.
If the Titans win the superbowl, then I'm prone to believe this even more. It is too similar to the 2001 Pats when Brady stepped in for Bledsoe and took them all the way. Now the Titans under Vrabel, who was on that 2001 team, gets Tannehill to step in for Mariota.

Great analysis. BB proved he could still win without Brady but those 11 wins weren't good enough for the post season.
The NFL has become more football stupid by having former players replace journalists. Plus the need to create drama for the 24 hour sport networks to flourish.

[kitekrazy]

I have this strange feeling that BB retires and McDaniels becomes the HC, with Brady as his QB.

I don't see them parting with Brady. For them to get a chance at a replacement they have to be really bad for a season or two.
Brady will give them a hometown discount. I can imagine any other team throwing money at an old QB. It would be interesting to see how he would perform under a different organization.

[Puck]

Vikes playing a lot better than I thought they would

[Racehorse]

Brees needs to play better in OT or they will be ending on a bad note yet again

Off topic but since you brought up Russell I will disagree respectfully with you. Bill Russel had superior teams because he was on them. He was in 27 (I could be wrong but it was in the 20's) deciding games (college and pro) in his life. He was 27-0 in those games. His last year they were the fourth seed in the east and still won it all. Russell is the GOAT, if you consider the object is to win.

Do agree on Brady being a POS and having better teams around him though.

Brady and Russell both had great coaches and players around them. There are at least 12 players who played on Celtics teams during Russells time that are in the Hall of Fame. That's pretty outstanding. Russell was fantastic, but I believe that if you switched Chamberlain and Russell and kept everything else the same, the Celtics would have still won a bunch titles. Maybe a few less than with Russell, but the Celtics were loaded with players and had the best coach too.

You are obviously correct about the coaching and the Hall of Famers. I would point out that every one of those HoFers , Auerbach included, say that the best player on those teams was Russell. His last year they were 43-34 and other than Havlicek not really any stars. Still won. He elevated those around him. Not many can or have done that.

Yes.

Also, after a 2-year hiatus from playing at the championship level after Russell's retirement in 1969, the Celtics drafted Dave Cowens and continued on an elite, championship level for 6 additional seasons, from the 1971-72 season through the 1976-77 season.

Led by Dave Cowens, John Havlicek, and Jo-Jo White, the 1971-72 Celtics had the best record in the Eastern Conference (56-25) before being upset by the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 1972-1973 Celtics had the 3rd-best record of all-time (68-14) before again being upset by the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Over the next 3 seasons of 1973-74, 1974-75, and 1975-76, the Celtics won 2 World Championships and in the season in between (1974-75) they won 60 games before bowing to the Washington Bullets in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The aging Celtics had one additional winning, competitive season in 1976-77 before bottoming out with 2 losing seasons in the late 70's before Larry Bird came along and revived the ship of the franchise.


The Boston Celtics overall had an absolutely amazing run from the late 50's through the early 90's ........ it was started by Bill Russell and company, and with a couple of small blips, it continued right on through for 3 and-a-half decades.

[Racehorse]

Every game was essentially a one possession victory. Pretty good for the Wild Card weekend.

[Luck4Reich]

Patriots losing in the first round was great. They could not cheat their way out this time.

[apballin]

Yep 🖕pats and 🖕Saints

In any event, fuck all things Boston.
