The anticipation of beating my predictions with coin tosses should be reward enough.

That is true, but I want to put it in your sig for a week. That you lost to a coin toss. All in good fun, of course.

Okay, that's no problem at all.

If I win, I want you to do nothing. The satisfaction that I know enough football to beat a coin toss will be enough.

I will post my predictions by Wednesday. Apparently from now on there are games on Thursdays.

Glad you are willing to be a sport. If you do decide you want to do something name it before Thursday's game. If you do not I will settle for just knowing predictions were made better by chance.



 

OMG that pure Bears football tonight, such a great game. Take out the two really rare mishaps from Forte and you have a nearly perfectly executed game from DA BEARS!!

Where's my Detroit fan at? See you on Sunday in Soldier field buddy. Let's even this shit up and let me recall my post from way back...

Hell at this point, I'm still willing to say that the playoffs will have the Packers and a 50/50 shot between Bears/Lions!


For those of you mocking my analysis that Brees is better than Rodgers this year, let's look at both teams that they play for. Obviously Rodgers has a much better supporting cast and some kind of running game. Brees has thrown the ball 379 times, where Rodgers has thrown it 265 times. You tell me which guy is relied on more heavily? When you throw the ball nearly every play, of course you will have more interceptions and a lower QB rating. I'm sorry, but Rodgers has a much better team around him. Without Rodgers, the Packers would still be a playoff contender and without Brees, the Saints would be crap.

The Eagles are a Dream Team alright. They're dreaming about making the playoffs. I don't care if the gunner was open for the Eagles on that fake punt. Going for it when you are down three early in the 4th quarter at about the 50 where you can pin the Bears inside their own 20 is idiotic.

By the way, for those of you that think that stats are the be all end all of human existence, I have a stat for you: Michael Vick's liftetime record against the Chicago Bear is 0-4.

Next Sunday is a very inertesting game for the Bears. I wonder if people will be predicting a Lion's blowout again?

By the way, Rol I might be a Bears fan, but I am honest about Aaron Rodgers and his performances. There's nothing wrong with being the 2nd best QB in the league. That's much better than that overrated bastard Brett Favre ever was.

*waits for response*

Yeah, Brett might hold all of the records, but he holds ALL of them. He has the most completions, attempts, yards, touchdowns, interceptions, fumbles, NFC Championhip games choked down the toilet (that one year that he was on the Vikings that you mentioned was one of the best). To think that most Packers fans were angry when the Packer's organization didn't kiss his ass to stay, and thought that going with Aaron Rodgers was a bad idea...

Honestly, to me Brett Favre was a tough guy that was a good, but not great QB. I could list a lot of QBs that are bettter: Montana, Marino, Elway, Young, Moon, Warner, Fouts, Brees, Manning, Brady, Rodgers, you get the point. He amassed a lot of gaudy stats because of his durability and if he didn't win that one Super Bowl, people would look at him a lot differently.

Concerning QB rating, it really is overrated. It doesn't take into account several factors including dropped passes and offensive line not giving the QB time. According to the stats Steve Young has a higher QB rating than Joe Montana, but I think that most people think that Montana was a better QB.

There's also a chance that we'll see all of them in the playoffs. Right now the Lions and Bears have the wild-card spots in the NFC.

I'm hoping the three teams go to the playoffs. It would make quite the spectacle if NFC North simply dominated the NFC. I'm hoping for a NFC Championship rematch.... this time with opposite results.



I wonder if Arizona's new gameplan is force the other team to punt. Don't even worry about offense (they can't score anyways), just try and get the ball to PP21.

Rodgers WR corp may be better but not by much,  Plus the Saints have a much better run game with Sproles, Ivory, Thomas and Ingram and have 300 more yards as a team rushing the ball. 

And then you say that Brees is relied on more,  when Rodgers is responsible for 26 of the 29 offensive TDs that the Packers have.   Brees is only responsible for 21 of 30 TDs.   

Its like you said there is nothing wrong with being the 2nd best QB in football,  So Brees being that shouldnt be a big deal
