Re: Should the Patriots be co-favorites.... IMO, one of the best measures of what to expect next season, barring major changes to the team, is what that team did towards the end of the season. So if we're talking about the Pat's defense, starting in December vs. the Jets their defense gave up...

Re: Should the Patriots be co-favorites.... I would definitely consider the Patriots to be favorites to win the AFC. The Steelers seem to be having a rough off-season after a 2010 season that was fairly injury free where they had everything go their way (well almost everything). The Chargers...

Re: Good New! Jeffrey Kessler is trying to sabotage the talks again Kessler obviously has ulterier motives in these negotiations. I think he's trying to intentionally drag out the negotiations. The longer the lockout goes on, the more he makes a name for himself. And of course he's making...

Congrats to all you Bruins fans.... you truely are blessed to be able to experience so many championships in the Boston area in such a short time. Seems to me like having a dedicated fanbase really makes it easier for your teams to put a better product on the field/court/rink, and you're...

Great post... While GB is NFP, its more of a technicality than anything else and doesn't really affect how they generate and spend money when compared to other teams. Of course they don't have the single owner with the deep pockets, but they do have a few hundred million in outside investments...

Best way to do that IMO would be to trade for next year's 1st round pick of the team that picks Cam Newton.

I actually think Tebow will have a successful career... all that crap about arm mechanics is correctable... Tebow understands the game, knows how to run an offense and has that bit of a arrogant side to him (which is a very good quality in a quarterback). What is typically the downfall of...

If I could put money on Cam Newton being a bust, I would... think Akili Smith type bust, especially if a team is stupid enough to anoint him the starter his rookie year. He's below average intelligence, has zero experience reading defenses, zero experience going through receiver progressions...

I just got the NFLfilms Packers season highlight DVD, and they show quite a bit of the planning that went into forcing that fumble. I'm going off of memory, but it went something like this: Steeler's OL coach talking to linemen on sideline: 52 is a pass rusher, they like to attack the ball...

I've heard this from several players as well... about the Patriots game being the turning point. The week before, the Packers lost to the Lions in an ugly way (losing 7-3) and lost Rodgers to a concussion in the process. The division crown was vitually unwinnable over the Bears. Then they...

They'll have the parade on Tuesday. Green Bay is about a 100,000 person population. They'll probably fill the stadium though. Even though Green Bay doesn't compare to any other NFL cities size-wise there are actually quite a few other cities nearby that account for quite a bit of population...

Wow... forgot about that one... a couple thoughts: 1) I couldn't have been more wrong putting the Cowboys and Vikings in the top 10. 2) I definitely underestimated the Patriots (FWIW I didn't edit the prediction before posting it on this board). I thought Brady was past his prime (congrats...

turnovers were definitely the difference in this game. If the Steelers hang onto the ball, the result could definitely be different. On the plus side, at least you don't have to change your screen-name. j/k hope you don't hate the Pack too much after this game... you guys still have the...

This has got to be my favorite thread on this site :D. Guess it goes without saying I'm on cloud #9 right now. Glad to hear about all the Pats fans pulling for the Pack and thanks for the support. What I thought was really interesting about this game was how the game was sort of a...

for all you part-time transitory Packers fans... you guys better brush up on your Packer history before your fandom ends in 3 weeks. Here's a good start, but it may interest anyone that enjoys NFL Film videos (though you might want to skip over 0:10-2:23 of the 1st video and 0:25-1:58 of the...

Concerning the Mike Florio article on PFT bashing Rodgers for "snubbing" a cancer patient trying to get an autograph, the fan has spoken up and is "shocked and upset by comments critical of Rodgers's actions at Austin Straubel airport". In fact a week earlier Rodgers autographed a jersey and a...

I don't think thats true. I will say that while Packers fans hate the Bears with a passion and vice versa, and I would never say this directly to a Bears fans, for the most part they are fairly classy. Vikings fans are a bunch of obnoxious bandwagon jumpers. Saints are similar to the Vikings...

This article is a huge overreaction... couple facts to consider: - Mike Florio is a life-long Vikings fan. Well know that Vikings fans hate the Packers. - Aaron Rodgers was wearing headphones and its not certain that he even heard the fan. - Few NFL players do more to contribute to...

Great thread guys... I think the Packers will not dissappoint you. They are peaking at exactly the right time... and coincidentally, it sounds like some players are saying that the Patriots game was the point when they really turned it on, when they realized that they could hang with any team...

Re: Official postgame thread I thought the better team lost today. The Patriots just didn't seem like the well-oiled machine that we're used to seeing, and the Jets looked like they wanted it more.
