Colts fan here! :lol:

Still a little jaded... but I am still proud of what the team has accomplished the past 7 years. It's phenomenal.

Meh...I don't think it'll really take off because there is so much to think about in the sports world. Hockey and baseball at the same time!

But while we're on topic, Tom Brady needs to remember that he's the better quarterback between him and Peyton, and the rings show it. Get back on track, and make a good run this season. The defense needs help BADLY though.

Soccer is the real football. Well, at least you put 'American football' instead of just football.

...

Okay, I'm a huge Bengals fan. :lol:

When will the idea that teams win championships apply to Tom Brady? Peyton has more records and more MVPs (you know... the award for individual talent). The Pats were without Brady in 08 and went 11-5... yeah, he's something special. :rolleyes:

Devil's advocate: So because the Patriots have a good secondary, Brady svcks?

No, it just goes to show that the 3-ring argument is pretty empty. They won the rings because of their defense, not because of Brady.

Speaking of football, ol' Big Ben Groplesberger has been accused of sixual assault --- again.

The power and money has gone to that boulder of a head.

GO NINERS!!!
A few years ago I went to Joe Montana's book signing and shook hands with him. It was so awesome.

The first charges were dropped because it was all made up, I have a feeling the same thing will happen this time. :shrug:

Vikes fan here. Even though we GAVE that last one away. Dallas, :yuck: No offense, I was raised in DC, so Skins before that. Was a nose tackle. As for getting to the QB? Scream weird things right before the ball is snapped. Ollie ollie oxenfree works, or make something up. It freaks out their concentration. And don't know if this is still legal or not, but you raise both hands and clap really hard on their earholes at the same time. It sounds like a nuclear bomb went off inside your helmet and is a little disorienting. :nuke:

Haha, your argument is pretty empty...I'd say over 4,000 passing yards in '05 to lead them to the championship and 3,500+ in '02 and '04 are pretty damn helpful in comparison to the defense.

Yeah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyton_Manning#NFL_records? Indianapolis isn't known for defense. New England is. Also, anyone can throw for 4,000, but the number of times you do it is impressive.

I think there's a point there, but his career numbers don't lie. When he actually got decent receivers, Moss and Welker, he put up monstrous numbers that embarrassed Peyton, who had Marvin Harrison the whole time. He has really good numbers that people seem to ignore, because Billy knows how to coach. They went 11-5 without Brady? They went 10-6 without defense too.

Ravens fan all the way. We just picked up Aquian Bolden (SP?) and a 5th round draft pick for and 3rd and 4th round draft pick. I think its a steal we needed a good WR its only a matter of him staying healthly.

Bleh, QB's svck Defense is what wins the game. Good O, bad D? the other team will score a TD every Drive, Good D, Bad O? they don't score so you might win with a Safety.

Or this could be Biased because im a DE
But honestly QB is overrated ('cept http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=0&statisticCategory=PASSING&conference=null&season=2009&seasonType=REG&d-447263-s=PASSING_YARDS&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-n=1 he is underrated)

Pats svck them and steagles are my least favorite team. I mean what QB yells at his line when he throws to Demeco Ryan of the Texans! lol? also he threw the ball away too much. I may be a Cowboy Fan but i always hated TO even when he was on the 'Boys Too much of a Ego.

i so wanna see Cowboy's VS Texans in the Arlington Super Bowl Next season. i still go with Defense, Cowboys beat Saints because of Demarcus Ware sacking Drew Brees

» Tue May 25, 2010 5:04 am

God I hate TO Im glad that talk of him coming to the Ravens turned out to be nothing but rumors. What wins the games is good defense. Look at the best teams in the NFL they're know for a good defense. If you wanna talk overrated QBs Ben Worthlessbuger is completely overrated now. Few QBs are as good as everyone says they are and Peyton Manning is as good as everyone thinks he is.
