Most of what I post was a small attempt to spicen up a thread that is mostly about posting predictions and nothing more. You should try NFL GAF. The pictures I post are almost all posted there first, or somewhere else first.  Shots are taken at every team that is not yours there. That is what I am used to in forums. This one usually goes a drier less trash talking route. 

I'm way, way, way too entrenched in the 'Any Given Sunday' mentality to shit talk.  For one, I know how it feels to lose and I know how it feels to not only lose, but do so after having talked shit, so it's something I stowed a long time ago.  Plus, let's face it, the Pats usually drop a game or two to teams they should beat, every year, and that's always a cause for concern.  I hate it when I see the obscure records that NFL network or whomever announce (Pats AFC record over the past 10 years, home record etc...) because it always feels like when they do, it's a game the Pats lose hah.

A few jabs here and there, but I rarely make predictions (again, why I don't take part in the contest), but yeah, the GAF thread doesn't sound like a place I'd like to go lol :D

GB is a fantastic home team that I don't feel confident can go on the road to Seattle and play to a physical enough level to legitimately threaten them. They just haven't traveled well this year. If the game was in GB I'd give them respectable odds, but the year has shown us that they are probably going to get mauled up there. I think Luck has a better shot at shocking the Pats than GB has of surviving the LOB. GB also showed some mental lapses during the Dallas game that spell trouble. There were a couple of WAY late hits on Romo that didn't draw flags, but were flagrant. If that happens a couple of times in the Seattle game, it WILL be called, and those 15-yard penalties can doom a team pretty quickly.

GB is going to win because Lacy will be beasting, rushing for 125 yards and two TDs.

Lmao, if you say so



John Fox out in Denver.

Fuck YES.

Good move always though he was somewhat overrated as a coach hopefully they can find someone better.

I never liked the hiring of Fox since day one. He's too conservative and makes shitty 4th down calls. Also, as we've learned the last four seasons, he's not a great motivator either. Tebow must have been his wet dream. A QB whose style of play welcomes runs and punts.

Denver came out flat against Baltimore in 2012 and Fox had by far imho his worst game in Denver making decisions. They came out flat in the Super Bowl last season, were not prepared for the crowd noise, and even punted down by almost thirty on Seattle's side of the field. They came out flat against the Colts offensively and defensively, and he again made shitty 4th down calls. He just can't coach the team up. I would have LOVED for Rex Ryan to have held on another week or so and get this job with Gase or another offensive guy running the offense. The locker room would love him and he fires his players up.

I would also love Gary Kubiak being named the coach. He is by far the best offensive mind "available" imho, even though he has said he is staying in Baltimore. But a lot of this rides on whether Peyton is coming back. I honestly can't see Elway canning the entire coaching staff if Peyton was coming back. He'll be 39 or so next season, I doubt he wants to start fresh with a new offensive coordinator.

Then again, this could be the wrinkle and change that keeps Peyton around and keeps him interested in the offseason. I expect them to hire someone aggressive who will pander to whatever Peyton wants, assuming he sticks around.

That was not what I was expecting when I clicked on that link...



Your title is wrong!!



I don't like the Seahawks but I certainly want them to beat the Packers though



Is it just me, or is John Fox officially the new Marty Schottenheimer of the NFL?
