NFL 2011

[HaemishM]

John Fox did manage to get the Panthers to the Super Bowl with Jake Fucking Delhomme as the QB, so it isn't like he hasn't worked miracles with low skill guys before. He just needs a running game, two stud wide receivers, an offensive line and a defense and he'll be all set for SUPER BOWL QUARTERBACK TIM TEBOW!!!! 

[Paelos]

I'm shocked that all the upstanding minded religious types on this site would hate Tebow.  

I just hate him because of Florida.

You have a Triforceresque quality for pointing out the obvious tendencies of this board.  

I'm willing to withhold judgment on his capabilities as a quarterback and a winner until the Broncos play someone other than the worst team in their worst setting.  I have my doubts that he'll be a consistent winner in the league, because like Vince "look at his record" Young, he won't be able to stay on the field.  But, perhaps he'll smarten up and alter his play style a bit more than a guy that got a 6 on the wonderlick test.

The religious shit is annoying.  His commercial was annoying.  His media coverage is annoying.  However, I'm interested how he ends up as a QB.  Call it morbid curiosity.  

[Paelos]

I don't mind people disliking Tebow because he's a terrible player who's completely overexposed by the media.

I just always chuckle when people are like, BUT THE JESUS THING IS TOO MUCH!

Would it matter if he was good? Would it make it even that much more annoying if he was Drew Brees and went into religious commercials? What if he was Mormon? To me his religious affiliations are bothersome in that people around me tell me that I should like him because we share a faith, and ignore the fact that's terrible at his job.

Frankly, even if the guy was the second coming of Johnny U, I would still dislike him. There are a lot of religious guys in the NFL, but none as blatant as him. Hell you can look at a ton of NFL and many other sports players and witness insane charitable acts that might even stem from a faith, but that is not their spotlight - their NFL game is.

Besides, the whole bible verses on the eye tape while at FL sealed his fate with me. Once I saw that, it was done.

He plays hard and works hard.

I cannot read that and not think of gay steel workers.

Ingmar had it right, but that Steeler would fit right in, I think.

Kirt Warner came dangerously close to annoying me with the religious thing too.

[DLRiley]

Well I live in maryland so all this t-bow nonsense, hasn't reached this side of pond. Coming from a redskin fan, boy all the hate is hilarious. We'd love a guy like t-bow over here. What he takes responsibility for his team and wills them to victory instead of hoping the game falls in his lap during the 3rd quarter? Oh my. All the hate is mostly because of the big J on his chest. Might as well be a target complete with "boom head shot wanker" when an insult is flung. If Tom Brady used the endzone as a pulpit we'd be up in arms, no one hates mediocre quarterbacks, we just ignore them till they silently get pooped out of the back end of the nfl, usually leaving a bad taste in the mouth for fans and a slightly sore anus.

He was well over the top for me. I don't give a shit what your beliefs are- STFU and do your job. That applies in every walk of life.

That's awesome.  I'm laughing my ass off here at work.  All my staff is looking at me weird.

[stu]

I listened to the radio broadcast of the Broncos - Dolphins game and it was three hours or the commentators slobbering and making excuses for Tebow. I was waiting for Bob Griese to disown his son for Tebow and then ask to kiss the Tim's neck, just a little, for like two seconds. But, you know what? The guy is exciting even when he's failing. I see him running around in the pocket like his pants are on fire and I want to see what the heck happens next. He's a hard worker and he's humble, but the Bible thumping grates.

[Surlyboi]

Ok, how much are the fins getting to throw games?

[Tannhauser]

Who told the Rams they were a football team?  Amazing.  Meanwhile, the Christian is being fed to the Lions.

[Nevermore]

Ok, how much are the fins getting to throw games?

You watched that game and thought they threw it?  I can't believe the Giants only won that one by 3.

It's like they play for a half, realize they are fucking up their plans, and go into the shitter.

[Fordel]

Teams roll up to the Dolphins and assume auto-win, then remember sometime during halftime it isn't ACTUALLY an auto-win and they need to play some football after all.  

[Paelos]

Tebow wept.

[Tannhauser]

Looks like the Fins will still play hard.  So Sparano has that going for him.  Which is nice.

[Nevermore]

The Fins have some players making effort, but their secondary can't cover anyone and the O-Line couldn't keep a team of 80 year old nuns off the QB.  Surprisingly, Moore didn't even play that poorly when he wasn't running for his life.  Hell, he even made a few nice runs when he *was* running for his life.

The Miami Dolphins: The NFL's slumpbuster.

[Paelos]

The the Cowboys decided to follow in the Saints footsteps and play like shit today. 

[Trippy]

Philly had to punt

[Draegan]

Dallas is fucking terrible.  Giants wil lose to them.  We only lose to shitty teams.  suprised we won today

[ghost]

I was shocked to see the Steelers win, considering how mediocre Roethlisberger is.   

[Trippy]

The Patriots have the worst pass defense in the league in terms of yards given up per game by a large margin.

[Ingmar]

Yeah their corners are terrible and they were short handed to boot I believe.

[Outlawedprod]

For all the QB lovers here... I give you the Buddy Ryan philosophy.

I agree.  Patrick Chung is the only decent DB on the team.  Love me some good safeties.

Dallas at least has two winnable games coming up against Seattle and Washington. The game against Buffalo has the potential to be a total disaster.

I would be happy to be 5-5 after the next 3 and take a look around to see how bad the East looks.
