    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Well after everything they missed earlier in the game (Oshie taking a clear head shot with partial butt end of stick to no call, the pretty obvious goalie interference on their 6th goal after we had come back to tie it at 5), shouldn't be surprising. Obviously there was some shit play on our...

    Can I claim a little credit on the Aaron Rodgers front as well?

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Those Miami teams were unreal stacked. 3rd string RB's end up all Pros. Great game earlier, have to give credit to Dallas for coming back. Still saw MM fuck up royally with those run calls like a dumbass to leave enough time for Dallas to tie it. Rodgers had to save his bacon again. Btw...

    We have a game at least. But we'll see what 1st drive of 2nd half looks like.

    Hey if Dak to Dez and the Cowboys' D is allowed to hold on every play keeps up, we got a game!

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    One of these teams looks like they've been there before. Game isn't over by any stretch...but Rodgers has that look and they've scored on all 3 drives. Wonder how long it'll take if Dak can't get the ship turned around before the questions about Romo going in begin.

    Here's where we get to see what Dak is made of. A big drive would be a nice response.

    That whole theory that Dallas is great at not giving up big plays has some holes in it.

    Great sports day already, got to watch Man U/Liverpool, Caps kicked the shit out of Philly 5-0...just need a Dallas loss and a good game tonight to cap the day off. Although really I'll just take 2 competitive games at this point. Btw how does everyone like the Falcons now? People sleeping on...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Ahhh, but how recent the history? As the Giants have shown us, what you do over the regular season can mean jack if you don't get/stay hot at the right time. No team in the league is as hot as Rodgers and Packers are right now. 7-0 run, Rodgers with 19 TD's and 0 picks over that spawn. Even...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    If a 7-9 team gets to the Super bowl and loses to finish 10-10, in the end it's the exact same result as the 18-1. You lost in the Super Bowl.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    It's not really stupid though. The list is built off false data. Itlan's list is way more relevant to how a QB plays in pressure situations. 4th quarter comebacks could literally mean you team was down one, and you were in field goal range as the 3rd quarter expired...you get stopped, kick...

    Vintage Ovechkin. Good game though, took way too many penalties to let Pens sorta be back in it. Metro is rough.

    Would totally take Wade in DC, but I think there are other candidates we're looking at.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    I like Jordy Nelson a lot, but I have to shake my head at the idea that Nelson/Driver/Jennings are in any way shape or form on the level that Moss and Gronk were at their positions/roles. Could even throw Welker's name in there as best slot receiver for a couple of years (Pats system and Brady...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    And you have your opinion an it's fine. Big Ben gets sacked a lot more when he looks to extend plays as well, but they also get monster gains out of it just as often if not more so. Brady in some ways is chained to that system of getting the ball out quick, and doesn't get enough credit for...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Wilson doesn't have quite as much arm strength as Rodgers does in order to make some of the throws into tight windows that Rodgers does. Also, Wilson will escape the pocket much more with his scrambling...while Rodgers is constantly adjusting himself inside of it. Reminds me of Bell's patient...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    When he's at his peak? I'm sorry, as good as Brady is (and what makes him better all time currently is his consistency...and not having MM as his head coach), he cannot do all of the things Rodgers can do. Scrambling, throwing on the run, hell simply buying time in the pocket. Yeah, it leads...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    I never really saw Dallas "limit" big plays against them. I saw our QB miss a lot of wide open receivers against your secondary. I agree that their passing stats will be skewed a bit since teams obviously were forced to pass against them a lot, but it's not faulty to note that your secondary...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Have to be honest, coming from a Cowboy fan on this board, this statement is ironic as fuck this year. I can bet it's annoying as fuck having to play them this week to keep hearing about it, but as a neutral fan watching how he's played down the stretch, it's been impressive as hell. You just...

    Can't see anyone getting excited over Moore. But it is the NFL, and he is a QB.

    If it helps, I think Pats are going to win it all. Packers/Falcons, Pats/Steelers title games.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Caps keep rolling. Holtby's shutout streak ended up getting stopped around 165 minutes, Ovechkin with 3 points is now sitting on 999 for his career with the Pens coming to town Wed night. His goal tonight in Montreal also tied him with Richard all time.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Easy way to tell if Giants are winning the Super Bowl...if they win a game in the playoffs, it's all over. Otherwise you'll read about how Manning's passer rating was great to these 2 guys, while everyone else thinks about his two turnovers and countless gifs of the Manning face.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Sad thing was they were moving the ball a bit through the air. Landry hauled in a few big 3rd down completions. But 2 strip sacks (and the one before half hurt a ton, especially with Miami getting the ball after half) and a pick on 3 consecutive possessions killed all hope. That and being...

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Keep telling everyone. There's SB Eli...and then never won a playoff game in any of his other postseasons Eli. That team wasn't winning shit not being able to score 20 points. AFC shaping up exactly as expected. Still think only Pats and Steelers have real chance. We've seen what Pitt's O...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Shit is still impressive as fuck. Banked a lot of points too. Obviously you worry about a let down after it has ended but if they get back on track relatively quickly, they can be an average team the rest of the way and make the playoffs. Kudos to the Jackets for quite a ride.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Dominant defense because they were 4th in total yards/game and 4th in points/game allowed. I don't know where we draw the line for "dominant", but top 5 overall seems in the ballpark. This with their offense doing next to nothing half the time. If they got any support they'd be crazy. Also...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Denver I could see doing it. Although Kubiak's retirement might throw a wrench into the deal. Elway has to know that defense is still dominant but the clock is counting down. Roll the dice and trade for Romo to hope he can win 1 Super Bowl with their D? Sure you gut the future a bit...but...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Well...it wasn't the Dallas' D that won those games. Cousins missing wide open guys in Week 2 where literally if he even looks in their direction we score 40, or Thanksgiving when we piled up over 500 yards of offense. I guess you can point to holding us to field goals and such in the 1st...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Just don't like the way they match up with the Pats. Also the Steelers absolutely raped them earlier in the year (although it was EARLY in the year, so grain of salt, but still). Obviously I like them against any of the other 3 AFC teams, but they're extremely likely in my eyes to get...

    Should have caught up on the thread before posting about the Baalke story. I think Kelly would have done a lot better had they had him, not enough to make any real noise but they wouldn't be fired I'd bet.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    That is brutal. Did you guys see the story about how Kelly and others in 49ers front office wanted to draft Dak? But Baalke went against that plan. Wonder how Kelly's season would have turned out had they listened.
