American Football Thread

[2tallbill]

I realize that the rest of the world plays their own version of football 
so good on you. You can search the entire internet and can't find me
disparaging your sport.

This thread is about American football, which had spilled over to a
couple of other places, so I thought I would start a thread so that
it would have a place.

If you follow Canadian Football feel free to comment on it here. The
game is very similar and Athletes cross back and forth. If you follow
the soccer type football feel free to start your own thread. I don't
know enough about it to comment on it one way or another.

If you have a favorite team please post who they are.

Udachi!

Question of the Day

I know many Green Bay fans, although haven't found one to ask
this question. For those who don't know lately Green Bay has been
causing my Cowboys grief when they enter the playoffs.

My question is this:

How did the Cleveland Browns make them take them to overtime before
beating them? You can't say "because Aaron Rogers was hurt" since the
Browns don't have a QB either.
 
The Browns have won 1 game and 27 loses in the last 2 years, yet the
Packers couldn't beat them without going into overtime??

Maybe Jone knows?

No football in this house until every last one of these over paid individuals stand for the National Anthem.

Proud member of Raider Nation. Seems we both became fans of our respective teams by watching them beat the Broncos.

Actually, Kizer threw for 3 touchdowns and Crowell ran for over 100 yards. Overall, Browns had more offensive yards and their defense is 9th best in the league. I don't think it's because Rogers is gone but possibly because the Packers had no running game and their defense isn't that strong this year, 23rd overall. That's my amateur opinion.

Considering that Cleveland was leading 21-7 at the start of the 4th quarter I was a little surprised they managed to win at all.

diehard Steeler fan here.

[wallm]

Well, we are fu**ed. Wentz probably has a torn ACL. Hoping not the case. He was brilliant today throwing 4 TDs and almost 300 yards against a Rams defense that had given up only 14 Passing TDs all year. We won and clinched NFC East. We will most likely have the #1 seed. There is always something going wrong with us. Bad Karma I suppose.

BTW, Duck Fallas. 

[Turboguy]

That was a big loss and hopefully Foles can hold things together.  You do have a pretty decent rest of the team so it isn't hopeless.

Hopefully they can get him back for the playoffs.

[Turboguy]

Hopefully they can get him back for the playoffs.

That would be great for Eagles fans but the word is he is done for the season.  Personally I think they can be pretty competitive without him but it is a big loss. 

[wallm]

Woohoo....we are in the Super Bowl. 

All I wanted for this season was Wentz to show improvement from year 1 and prove he is a franchise QB. We got that and a ton more.

Hey Bill, this is what a dominant team looks like. We lost Wentz (will be the best QB in NFL next year and really was this year and should win the MVP), Peters, Hicks, Sproles and more and still won. No excuses about injuries. As long as Jerry is the GM, your team will suck. And that brilliant headcoach who claps at everything..weird. And that QB who sucks. When was the Cowgirls defense good? Go back to Randy White, Ed Too tall Jones? Cowgirls will have to deal with Wentz for a decade. 

Billy, I hope you didn't buy that SHEhawks in Super Bowl jersey like you wanted at the beginning of the season.

We have a chance to win the big game if our DL comes to play.

My advice to the Eagles...make sure there are no NE CHEATriots employees taping your practices and walkthroughs. They already stole one Super Bowl from us in 2004.

Life is awesome. I have my Anne with me and my Eagles in Super Bowl!! Can't ask for better start in 2018.

Fly Eagles Fly!

[BillyB]

My advice to the Eagles...

My advice to wallm, boycott!!! Tell the NFL and Eagles you will not watch the Superbowl or any further Eagle's games until they get rules in place to keep politics and activism out of sports. Do your part. I know you got the strength and courage to refrain from football and sex until the changes are implemented.

[wallm]

What does sex got to do with this? I can abstain from football but not sex.
I had not watched the Super Bowl since 2004. But will watch this year.

BTW, nobody on the Eagles kneels during the anthem. We are the good guys. We love America and respect our troops.

The Iggles looked pretty good and I think hiring the hypnotist to convince
Foles that he was the Love child of Johnny Unitas and Sammy Baugh was
brilliant!

[ML]

I was hoping NE would lose (I just want to see diversity of winners); but figured rightly that they would pull it out in the end.

They can't be two quarterbacks if they had a love child.  One had to be a pitcher and the other a catcher.

Did you hear about the man who got pregnant while dating a telephone operator?
She reversed the charges on him.

You have to be older than 50 or so to understand this.

Go Pats!!!!


Hope Tom Brady does it again and we have a great Parade in Boston!


Eagles suck

Did anyone see the Ref go over to Pretty Boy and congratulate him at the end of the game? I have never seen that in an NFL game. It is as if the zebras are so impressed with Mr. Bundchen that they feel honored to be on the same field with him. And Cheatriots were flagged once in the game. No f'ing way a team can be playing a nearly penalty free game.

Something smells here. It is as if the League wanted Cheatriots in the Super Bowl. Hopefully we get fair shake in the Super Bowl and don't have to play the Cheatriots and the officials.

I can't wait for our DL to get their hands on Mr. Bundchen.

There is a culture of corruption & unethical conduct surrounding the Cheatriots. It as if their mantra is "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying."

Super Bowl
 
 I know it's late notice, but a friend of  mine has two tickets for the Super Bowl in Minneapolis, MN at the new U. S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, February 4th.

They are box seats and he paid $3,500 per ticket, which includes the ride to and from the airport, lunch, dinner, a $400.00 bar tab and a pass to the winners locker room after the game.

What he didn't realize when he bought them last year was that it's on the same day as his wedding.

If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.

It's at St. Paul's Church at 3 p.m.  Her name is Ashley.

She's 5'4", about 115 pounds will be the one in the white dress.

[BillyB]

Do it. Talk is cheap. You can have sex, have triple the servings if you want but don't watch the Super Bowl.

BTW, nobody on the Eagles kneels during the anthem. We are the good guys. We love America and respect our troops.

That's good to hear. I respect the Eagles a lot more now. I'll allow you to watch a few commercials during the game.

I was hoping NE would lose (I just want to see diversity of winners);

If NE loses, Pitbull will cry. Do you want her to cry?




My prediction. Eagles don't have enough to win it all and with the fans they have, like wallm who's not going to watch the game, nobody is going to cheer them on.

You posted this one last year!    Is it the same guy? 

[ML]

You posted this one last year! 

Really?

I don't remember even having seen it before.
Maybe Al is starting to visiting me?

[wallm]

I was going to send a message to ML about the "tickets" to Super Bowl. But after a few seconds I remembered his tongue in cheek humor. Besides Anne who is a Broncos fan is already making plans for me to watch the game with a few of her Eagles fan friends at our home.

[2tallbill]

Jone, I played football (a hundred years ago with leather helmets and drop kicks
and the statue of liberty were the leading plays of the day)

The quarterback catches the ball from the center nearly every single play of the
game. Then the qb can throw. So, many times they catch and pitch on the same
play. QB's are like that, which is why defensive players say that they should wear
dresses.

[onlyFSU4me]

 The game starts in less than 1/2 hour from now. Imo Wallm's Eagles have been the surprise of the year.


 If they can remember to play 4 full quarters and that the Pats are a confident, well experienced team that never thinks they don't have a chance.... and never quit trying.... then they have a great chance to take this game.


 Good luck Eagles... don't make the same mistake so many teams have made in the last few years!
