Same here.
The playoff seeding really needs to be changed though. The Colts (12-4) should not have to play on the road against a team that went 8-8. I still think the Chargers are getting the surprise win today though. Same with the Cardinals.

Dan Patrick asks Matt Millen
“How responsible were you for this Lions season?”
…. ouch
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
AZ
may be shooting their load… this reminds me of the feeling I had with the ’Hawks in GB
It is what it is...
That doesn't make the Seahawks suck any less.
Rooting for the Cards is like a Bears fan rooting for the Packers…Seahawks fans aren’t there yet, but I think this team needs rivals.
Yeah, but at least people will think we suck less.
And our division might get more respect.
Kind of weird since I don’t really care what people think, but I hate when people say that the NFC West (and AFC West now) shouldn’t even get a playoff spot.
It sounds a lot like what Rudy Giuliani said last year.
For the Red Sox-Rockies World Series, Yankee lover Giuliani said he was rooting for the Red Sox because “I’m an American League Fan.”

Ryan more successful throwing to the left- any explanation?
uhh Roddy white?
I am suffering a serious man-crush on Sanchez
most likely similar to a six-pack, 500 yard hotie
It is what it is...
Sanchez is an impressive athlete.
He’s a great quarterback to sit for a season and let mature, because the talent is special.
Sounds like a worthy risk at #4
but I work at BofA… we are great evaluators of Risk
It is what it is...
What are the chances that his 'legal troubles'
despite being absolved of an accusations, causes Ruskell to dismiss the notion of drafting him (or at least downgrade his rating to the point that only if he has a Rodgers-like slide do we draft him?)?
No the legal troubles I was referring to were incidents in the past,
not possible future incidents. But I am also an advocating drafting him, though it really depends on where his stock is. If he is in the 15 or so range, than hell yeah trade down and draft him, if he’s in the top 5? Not quite so sure I’d be willing to spend 60 million quid on him.
If the OT we take is guaranteed to be good as the last two high LT picks
then the OT. But I’ve heard that all three top tackles have some possible warning flag weaknesses in the game.
Good Run D.... there, Turner just walked 10 yards for a td.
Arizona’s defense is so bad, too bad we weren’t at full strength on offense, we could’ve had some 50-50 shootouts.
I like Bruce.
I’m not exactly looking forward to his halftime show, but then Shaun Alexander I’m not exactly looking forward to seeing Shaun Alexander run the ball either.
Atlanta is also an easy team to root for...
From 4 wins to the playoffs with a rookie QB? Awesome story. And fuck the Cardinals, of course.
Mostly fuck the Cardinals for me.
Though I like Justin Blalock and Sam Baker.
Also, Abraham should have been a Hawk.
Catchable ball
but a tad behind him… WR would be wise to track the QB when his route calls for it… then again, I’m a hack watching
It is what it is...
As I mentioned before
AZ start reminded me of SEA-GB… As long as ATL stayed with their gamplane, most likely, good things would happen
It is what it is...
He may still have benefit on first drive for play action
Sproles is one hell of a backup anyway
It is what it is...
How can anyone take Matt Millen seriously
his presence undermines the entire show
It is what it is...
Networks are very selective about the holds they show
I’ve seen far worse than that that no one called out.
AZ has a real shot if they continue to run the ball like this
and if the D continues to penetrate
It is what it is...

Hello everyone I have been checking out this site everyday ever since the start of the season and ive just now made an account..so yeah..I really like the discussions that take place here and I appreciate the work that John and all of the other people who put this site together.
That said, the Cardinals pass rush is doing pretty good today. Do you think thats a main problem the Seahawks defense was so bad? Any quarterback can pick apart a defense with ample time, so do you think the Hawks pass rush is responsible for the regression of the whole defense?
Adding to that..Im now torn between the Hawks drafting an OL/QB/DL. Maybe we could get some pass rush in free agency?
Forward progress is one thing, but the quarterback can still pass the ball.
That seems kinda stupid.
That's dumb. The if an official calls it dead, and he's wrong,
then he should be shot dead. Officials should err on the side of caution. How can you call it dead after a second or two?
Eli Manning was wrapped.
The defense is screwed though, they can’t throw the quarterback down, so they just have to hold them.

Oh and sorry for the re-post. I didn’t think anyone caught the first one because I didn’t reply.
I don't know the numbers, but the Hawks went from one of the better pass rushing teams to one of the worse
That, along with a lot of other stuff, definitely hurt them.
Is there someone/thing
that tracks average time it takes a QB to throw? That’d be interesting, and a stat for defenses as well, average time allowed before a throw/sack/Qb crosses line of scrimmage on a scramble?
Yes
You would have to factor in 3, 5, 7 step drops, screens and play action, but there should still be a large enough sample to get interesting results.
Not according to Madden
I think it’s 97 and 98 Speed. Not sure about acceleration. Funny how my team has Norwood, Sproles, and Chris Johnson.
Not sure, I think he was 97
but that was 3 years into the game, and he didn’t do so well apparently his first 3 years (not sure how)
Yeah, I know, they only have the 'explosive little back' thing in common
but Forsett isn’t that fast. And Norwood isn’t that small, just seems small like a Jones-Drew or something.
If we ever have a FG football game on a football field
we should time our 40s. I’ve always wondered what mine would be…
I hate Chris Collinsworth
Whether its on Madden(where we already here enough of him), or on tv, he always says the predictable things. If he is so smart why is he not a coach?
Get paid a lot to do a low stress essentially do nothing job.
As opposed to get paid more to do a long hours high stress job.
For some reason I like the guy...
And I’m sure I’m in the large minority. I can’t explain why, either.
Although I can’t listen to Madden with the sound on anymore. Ugh.
Collinsworth is awful
The worst part is how everyone defers to him. Enough already. He’s so smug it’s unbearable.
I don't know why
but he reminds me of a used car salesman with his hair clicked back, and the way he talks.
Was it really a draw?
I just saw the catch but if it was a fake draw that is sad..how do you get faked on a 3rd and 16, from the Cardinals! The Cardinals!!
Well, there goes my bandwagon team.
Go Ravens, I guess. Flacco isn’t nearly as sexy as Matt Ryan though.
Yep, go Ravens
How awesome would that have been, Matt Ryan, rookie QB, to drive down the field with 2 minutes left for the game winning TD?
Once a Seattle team is out, I don't root for other teams to win.
Just certain teams to lose. I hope the Giants and Colts and Steelers all lose as early as possible.
Yeah, I just want to see the rookies succeed
Its always easy to root for rookies. Because well, they are rookies.

Well Chris, considering they needed help selling out the stadium, I’m guessing not very

I'm also pulling for the Chargers
I hate Rivers, and am not an LT fan, but I dislike the Colts, too much Manning crap.
If both Mannings get injured on the first offensive play of the game
Say…. Bob Sanders tackles a going-out-of-bounds Eli into Peyton who’s standing on the sideline and both injure their knees/backs/heads/balls, then yes, I would want that. Otherwise, give me Ravens… Cardinals?
How can anyone not like Peyton at least?

I am rooting for the Chargers
Although maybe there is some bias because I was born in San Diego. But I do love their team. Accurate QB, good TE, good running game, good D. Just some bad luck this year(According to advanced NFL stats)
I still don't understand their logic
Lets bring in a president/CEO that assembled one of the worst teams in this decade..and lets have him give us expert analysis!!
They could roll out monkeys picking each other's lice and we would still watch.
It’s football. I figure they’re rubbing it in. Next, the Boz.
How many dirty stinkin' apes does it take to screw in a light bulb?
3, one dirty stinkin’ ape to screw in the light bulb, and two dirty stinkin’ apes to throw feces at each other.
Don't know about you guys
But id rather watch apes throw feces at eachother than listen to Matt Millen.
Steve Phillips has nothing on him.
The man is easily the worst operator of a professional sporting franchise I’ve seen in my lifetime.
How does complete failure at the subject about which you are speaking qualify you as an ‘expert’?
It almost has a Bizzaro world quality to it. Perhaps the exact opposite of everything Millien says is in fact solid analysis.
"If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game."
-Rickey
Millen: "This Chargers team is alright
but they need like six more first round wide receivers and a really shitty right tackle."
I hate Phillip Rivers, but
it will be unbearable if the Colts win, seeing as how the AP wants an excuse to fellate P. Manning at every opportunity.
Im just tired of Peyton in the post season
Id much rather see a team that was 4-8 win the superbowl. That would be an amazing comeback. Historical actually.
To be fair, he pretty much deserves it

It's new
I walked into New Seasons after an 11 hour shift and went straight to the beer department, saw the sixer, said “Holy shit, Ruination IPA in a six-pack” and got a big smile from the dude stocking the shelves. I’m wicked pumped.
That's amazing.
For now I’m pretty much going with kegs though, as I’m going to be using a kegerator from here on out in my house starting Monday. I am planning on taking a road trip down to Escondido for a keg or two of ruination for my bar next summer though. Totally worth it.

Not if you use Co2 to tap them. I did my research before buying this, and apparently if you use a 5 pound Co2 tank (which is what my kegerator comes with) the beer can stay fresh for up to a month.

But I’ll probably drink enough of it myself to keep it going away at a fairly good pace.

I hope you charge these people and make a decent profit.
Or at least break even. I hate moochers, especially alcohol moochers. Also, girls never pay, and guys almost never care that they don’t pay.
Once the bar is built I'm gonna put an optional tip jar.
Most of my friends are usually buying the alcohol so I’m not gonna force anyone to pay if they don’t want to.
Until we hammer the wood together though it’s just gonna be a kegerator to drink out of and a pile of wood in the garage.

Well it won't have wheels or anything.
Either I can take it apart, or just take the kegerator and let my family use the bar when I move out/let me use it when I come visit. Seems far to me.

And nope, not mormon. I don’t think I know a single mormon actually. I just don’t like spending money or consuming too many calories (unless it’s candy).
Neither.
Though, when I was 15 I did buy malt liquor from a guy named Jim the Bum with pennies I found on the street.
Probably a weekend.
I’ve got a list of about 60 cuts to make, and my friend is gonna bring his miter saw over. He’s a grunt worker on assembly at Boeing, so he’s fairly handy. He’s just been working 12 hour shifts, otherwise it would’ve been done.

Is it possible for a human being to open their mouth any wider

Well you have to open your mouth like that
or else the huge chunks won’t fit inside.
And after a hard day’s work, a man’s gotta eat his meat chunks!
So I suppose I'm in the minority, but I've got my #18 Manning jersey on so....go Colts!
Actually, my four favorite teams in the playoffs, the only non-Hawks teams I root for are all playing each other in the front round. These two, the Vikes, and the Eagles.

Ugoh sucks
Love how Peyton Manning’s awesomeness has convinced some that he’s anything but a garbage left tackle.
Why would anyone ever buy into a "McDonald's cares as much about their quality ingredients as you do" commercial?
Does this mean they assume most people don’t care about the ingredients they buy and enjoy eating food that tastes revolting?
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Maybe they think most people buy the cheapest they can find at the grocery store without caring what the quality is.
Which make sense considering the success of wal-mart.
They're 'healthy' stuff is actually ok, the small chicken wrap stuff.
And the seattletimes came out with an article that says that the nutritional info at restaurants have not affected eating habits. It’s not ingredients, but it’s still something.
There's a reason his is the only non Seattle jersey/shirt I've ever bought that hasn't come from visiting the team's actual stadium.
There’s no doubt in my mind that when all is said and done Peyton will be the best QB who ever lived.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
And a huge testament to the importance of a quarterback.
I think people rebel against the idea because it’s a cliche, but imagine a Colts team with a Manning level left tackle but an Ugoh level quarterback.
Even thinking that is kind of disheartening.
I wouldn’t want to not be able to watch him play. I’m jealous of fans in Indianapolis who get to see him every week. I’ve almost considered downloading Colts games just to see him play.
Regardless, I think QB is the most interesting position on the field and I agree, a good QB is more fun to watch than just about anything.

Doesn't that describe the hawks in preseason last year
(or was it 2006) with Walter Jones and Greene?
(Just being facetious)
A colts fan friend of mine would say that
is an accurate assessment of our superbowl run years except instead of Ugoh, Tarik Glenn, with Glenn being Hasselbeck and Peyton being WJones.
Not being contrary, just asking
but you rank him above Brady? (Assuming both are at their best etc etc)
I love watching both, but (assuming healthy etc) if I was building a team from scratch, I am unsure which I would take.
Definitely Manning.
Brady gets a ton of credit for his team’s Super Bowl victories. Brady is a great quarterback; Manning is the greatest quarterback since Unitas, maybe ever.
Wasn't it you who said this?
Brady will be compared with Montana, but Manning will be compared with Unitas

Maybe it's just me, but the success of Matt Cassel makes me feel that Brady's accomplishments aren't as great.
If Matt Cassel can run a 90 passer rating in that system…
Regardless, I think Brady’s talent around him makes him look better. I think Manning makes his talent around him look better.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Actually to me it's Matt Cassel's lack of success that shows me how good brady is
Without Brady their good system is good, with Brady it’s great.
But he had a Passer rating of 90 and got them to 11-5.
I don’t see how that’s a lack of success. Maybe he was lucky, maybe Belichick’s system is just good, but I don’t see how you can look at Matt Cassel’s 2008 and say it was a “lack of success”. Maybe he played above his talent level but still.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Sorry, I should be more clear
I’m saying that with Casell they are 11-5 and a good team.
With Brady they would be (pulling number out of my ass 13-3, 16-0, who knows?
I’m saying Brady makes a good team great. (Not to say Manning doesn’t make a bad team great hehe)
Which commercial?
(We are getting the canadian feed so even on the NBC channels they super impose the canuck adverts)
(P.S. The superbowl this year is going to suck for me.)
haha
(Sorry)
To make this not a throw away post, I’ll ask. Do you think Madden is being literal when he says they can’t see him behind the OL? If so isn’t that a huge advantage for short runners?
Maybe
I think maybe height just isn’t that important to running the ball and Sproles is just a good running back.
Probably not.
But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be good. He’s a smarter rusher that’s less boom and bust, but not as athletic.
I hate the challange system
Why can’t the system they use for the last 2 minutes of a half work for the entire game?

Chargers would never let him go with LT having a down year.

Fuck Gates.
Weak ass b-ball player. Imagine LeBron at WR for any team. How do you stop him in the red zone?

An equally good point.
NBA has the best overall athletes in the world. MJ shoulda retired to the NFL though, not the MLB.

Dwight and Shaq
would get flagged for Offensive PI all the time though.

I wonder about that
I mean Lebron is built like a brick house, same with D-Howard.
Are they really that much weaker than football WRs?
I dunno... I think Lebron would be an unstoppable WR/LB/S...
He has speed, height, jumping ability, hands, agility….
In basketball you get paid more and you can play longer, and it doesn’t wear on your body as much, so if you can do it, you’d be pretty dumb to pick football over the NBA.
I'm cheering on Peyton and the Colts, but I don't see them winning.

Damn. I woulda loved to see Peyton win another ring.

Damn it.
I was hoping I’d get to wear my Manning jersey for more than one week.
There’s only so much one man can do for a team.

Well there's Wayne, Sanders, Gonzalez, Clark, and Addai...
Beyond that…I don’t know.

No other non-Seattle player's jersey is worth having unless I actually go to the team's stadium.
Except maybe Longoria.

Great players, except Tui, but the man crush/admiration isn't there.

Didn't quite have the feel of a classic though
No real rhythm because of long stretches of mediocre play, and lots of flags at the end. It was competitive and entertaining though.

Budweiser works so hard to lie to their customers.
But it’s still so obviously a lie. Why does anyone believe it?

Andrea Kramer
is like 5’2" or 5’3". A colleague of mine knows her husband, says she’s super smart.

Good catch putting the punter on the horse trailer
Scifres really kept Indy in poor field position all night. SD’s defense played well, but they played with phenomenal field position for most of the game.

I think it's a matter of a coach being saved from itself.
A la Darby getting hurt and replaced by Me
Ah yes, I remember the year when John Morgan was inserted into the Hawk defensive line
shoring up our run D for years to come.
But to have that talent
to fall and miss the sword because of depth… we “speak” of our talent… SD has it
It is what it is...
This proves once and for all that...
Norv is not a COMPLETE retard. Frankly, the matter has been is serious doubt.

I always love postgames w/ Phillip Rivers
He reminds of a younger, slimmer version of someone else.

They have so much talent not even Norv can always hold them back.

So Manning goes to 1-5 against 3-4 defenses
anything to that beyond the 3-4 defenses he sees in the playoffs are really good (Steelers, Chargers, Pats)?
I kind of like the 3-4 defense...
I wouldn’t mind getting Maluega and going 3-4… But are our DEs way too small for it (besides Kerney?)
LOL
Yes, our LB’s are a bit smalll… we could fix that quickly… especially with Hill potentially moving on
It is what it is...
John took time after I broke it down a few months ago
and pointed out that we are not prepared for it, in terms of personnel… it is a no go…
I am not convinced… but I am a superior hack
It is what it is...
All of them?
I don’t see Bruschi as being any bigger or smarter than Tatupu.
And Peterson would fit then.
Plus, if they were all DEs, than the front 7 would be 3 DTs (judging from the Chargers D-lines) and 4 DEs, which would be horrible in pass coverage, no?
I have the numbers somewhere... but suffice it to say
John is correct… kind of :)
It is what it is...
I believe two big linebackers
and move mebane and benerard to DE… and on big DT (the big hole in the whole scheme for us) and we are in
It is what it is...
When you are dead last in Passing,
and near the bottom in Rush, no where to go but up :)
It is what it is...
We can acquire the talent...
and play it like AZ… we are missing the big body… Mr. Brace from BC would suffice…
it is very, very doable in one year with the talent we have… we have the 5 tech… and as we all know, that is the key
It is what it is...
Though we don't have the personnel for it,
And I’m not sure if any team does – but I would LOVE to see us play an all out 46. Tell me Brian Russell wouldn’t be MVP and Defensive POY.

Sure
He’s not prototypical, but damn close. Bane would be awesome as the other end. Red Bryant could theoretically play some nose, although I think we’d really need to find one. Peterson would be one hell of a perfect 3-4 OLB, despite his apparent lack of size. We all know what he does to way bigger OTs when he puts his hand down. Tatupu should fit.
We’d need a really good Ted backer(2nd MLB) and another OLB/DE hybrid, preferably one with more prototypical size than Peterson to help them stand up against the run.
So besides what we have, we’d need a Nose(an awesome nose is hugely critical for the 3-4), another MLB, one that has serious size, and an OLB/DE hybrid with size. There is no way Ruskell would add three front 7 players with size, let alone sign off on a change to the 3-4.
Not that I really would like to see that. Tatupu should be more productive in the 4-3 roaming the whole field, Peterson(perhaps the biggest pro for a 3-4) isn’t gonna be around forever and we already use his skills as if he were in the 3-4, Mebane would be equally disruptive in either scheme, and the 4-3 holds up better naturally against the run, unless you truly get those monster front 7 players, none of which we have.
