Gotta go with Paelos, the falcons are gonna fuck their cheese-eatin' shit up.
Oh no doubt. I don't actually think the Packers are going to win, and I've said all season I don't think they have enough to go to the Super Bowl. But now that Starks seems to be a legitimate running back, it might not be as much of a foregone conclusion as I thought. Now that the Saints are done, I think the Falcons will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, but Green Bay will make it competitive. |

Hey guys, as a newcomer to this fancy American hand-egg type of business you lot have going on, where would I go to learn about the game. Here in Aus they do broadcast current (season?) matches, but at like 4am in the morning on Mondays or something. Are there any streams, or restreams that I could watch?
Don't let little things like understanding the game prevent you from screaming obscenities and nonsense in the proper American fan style. Given the general understanding of football, mostly all you need to know is that your quarterback is a god damn bum (unless he's named Brady), the league hates your team (especially if you're the Ravens), and your coaching staff should be fired (every team after every loss). Keep those facts in mind, and you'll fit right in. |

Shit, I missed the stiff arm when I watched it on the Tivo. I think I closed my eyes and cursed in disgust. It was right after that point that I just hit fast-forward to the end, because I knew it was over. Beast Mode indeed.

NFL Game Pass is a subscription service geared towards fans outside the US & Mexico. I don't know much about it beyond that. NFL Game Rewind costs $20 for the playoffs and is probably only for superfans. Other than that, I'm not aware of any other full-game options. NFL Playbook is a good Xs & Os strategy show that can give you a good idea of intracacies and what to look for if you stay up late enough to watch the games. Plus, it has Sterling Sharpe, my favorite reciever from back in the day. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-playbookI'd watch any game with NBC's Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. They are good at simplifying the game and don't sound too full of themselves. |

More than a stiff arm. It was a downright push backwards. Props to Hasselback for actually running down field and trying to block. |

Considering how unimpressive the Packers and the Eagles both looked in that game and how unaware I am as always of anything happening in either south division I have no idea what's going to happen in the NFC. Its a shame but I think the Ravens are too old to beat the Steelers, the big hope will be Ben having a shit game which seems possible. Fuck I hate the fucking Steelers and the Pats and the Jets.
Go Ravens...

A nice run, but lot's of feeble, shoddy tackling attempts… …you are not going to arm grab him easily, NO defenders woefully out of position in trying to tackle… …now here's a run where a RB bowls over a LB! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1TSaKmG2o |

Fat guy with full head of steam rolls over person of similar size who has almost no forward momentum? Gee, wow. The laws of physics never saw that one coming. |

Yeah, see, that's impressive. Okoye was a big freaking RB in those days.

Okoye was a motherfucker when he got running downhill. That's a good hit.

Still is actually. Then again, we are watching Steve Atwater who played bigger than he ever could grow. |

I'm reminded of a hit I saw live many years ago. Was a revenge hit that Steve Largent (who was probably 180 soaking wet) made on another notorious Denver DB who had given Largent many cheap shots in the past: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHsPheboe7E |

Well, I got what I wished for - Chicago at home to Seattle. The way they played it certainly won't be a cakewalk, but unlike Seattle's first game, it isn't at Quest.
Really should have put money on Seattle...

I know! I also love the ridiculously oversized shoulder pads the defense always wore in those days. |

Seattle went from 100-1 to 40-1. Still plenty of leverage if you really believe. |

I don't mind the green they have now, but I really liked the old blue and green. I do too. I actually like our road uniforms now better than the all white of old, but I love the old home colors. Of course, I loved the eye-searing lime green look they wore against Chicago last year (in honor of Sauced's birthday), so I may not be the best judge. I think the biggest jumps from good to bad are the Pats and the Broncos (and TB, but I  pastels and neons, so I am a retard). The old school Pats unis are soooo much better, and I am not a huge red fan. And the old Orange Crush fucking ruled. |

I used to like all the new unis you mentioned, including Tampa. I still prefer the silver and blue New England unis, but I do miss the Orange Crush Broncos and would love if Tampa went back to the orange and white with Capt. Morgan on the helmet. I even wish the Saints would ditch their black pants and go back to the gold. Cincy can keep their tiger stripes 'cos no one gives a shit about them anyway. The Rams should go back to the yellow instead of the gaudy gold. Detroit should burn their unis and start again just to remove the stink of the last decade.

I look forward to a lot of mileage out of that play when busting chops on my best friend who is a die-hard Bills fan. Imagine what you can do with an o line. |

The Browns could hire anyone and they would stilll suck. The position is jinxed.

Hey at least you have a young QB with some promise and a decent RB. You could have drafted Jimmy Claussen. |

Hey at least you have a young QB with some promise and a decent RB. You could have drafted Jimmy Claussen. Well that is debatable in most Browns circles. Already there are rumblings about drafting another QB with a so-called bigger arm. I like Colt and think he is well suited to be the starter, but now that they hired Mangini version West Coast Offense, there is talk. If they do not grab any of the top three receivers coming this draft, I may swear them off for the year. Glad I am a bigger college ball fan than NFL. |

No, this isn't really news, but it's just awesome in the build up to the Jets vs Pats. Wes Welker making 11 foot comments in 9 minutes during an interview http://deadspin.com/5732917/ |

Jets and Pats like to flap their lips and go out and play candy ball. The real game starts @ 4:30p today... there better be blood.

The Pats play candy ball? And I think the Jets defense would like to have a word with you, too.
