I think it kind of got merged into the fantasy thread Ryan. But it has been an interesting year to be sure. I think Green Bay and New Orleans are on a collision course in the NFC Championship game. Their offenses are scary good. But I certainly wouldn't overlook the 49ers over there. They are playing some hellacious defense and overall great football. I love Patrick Willis. He's a monster. Same thing for Clay Matthews. Could you imagine those two on the same team? :shock:

My Dolphins decided that they were no longer interested in competing in the "Suck For Luck" campaign, and started showing they have some cojones now. The head coach (Sparano) still needs to be fired at season's end. There's a really good crop of QB's coming out this year (assuming they all declare), so I'm not bummed that we don't have a shot at Andrew Luck.

Don't forget Jeff Ireland. I'd value a good personnel man over a head coach any day of the week. Other than Pouncey, I wouldn't say we got any future pro-bowlers yet again. When the best picks of the last 3 or 4 drafts have been two offensive lineman, you got issues.

As for the QB crop, I'm not sold on any of them other than Luck and I'm sooooooo freaking annoyed with the Colts. There's a head coach who should be fired. But I digress. Beyond Luck, all those QB's have warts. We gotta take someone but I just hope it's right guy.

The Colts are just like the Spurs. You've been really good for several years and at the perfect moment, your best player goes down and you get another stud to come in and help out for another decade of dominance.

I think the Colts would have had trouble with the Texans this year even with Manning though. I don't think the Texans could have any more freaking injuries either. We lost Foster for the first few games. Mario is out all year. Schaub is out all year. Leinart is out all year. Andre missed 6 games. It's a miracle we're 8-3

My Bills have left me so disgusted that I don't even watch them any more. And to think I actually thought they might have been decent this year. :evil:

Green Bay all the way. They've always been my favorite NFC team.

Your team has the injury bug in the worst way. I've seen teams suffer through lots of injuries before, but never so many in pivotal positions, and with star players to boot. It's time for the Dolphins to start fleecing some of that young talent you've got over there. *Mario Williams*<cough>

Ha! He's not going anywhere. He might have set the sack record under Wade Phillips this season if he hadn't been hurt. The guy is almost unblockable coming from an outside linebacker position.
Thank goodness Watt has been so good or the dropoff would have been tremendous.

Okay. We'll settle for Brian Cushing and Demeco Ryans then. :mrgreen:

We sucked for years to draft all those guys haha. Cushing, Ryans, Williams, Watt, Barwin. We haven't drafted an offense player besides Andre Johnson in years haha.

I had no idea that Peyton Manning was going to out so long for the Colts, their record indicates just how important he is too that team. I think they should sit him for the rest of the season since they're 0-11.

I've been very impressed with my home state Cincinnati Bengals. A good crop of young players and a very impressive 7-4 start.

It's been an interseting season.

Colts - man, is Peyton the lynchpin of that team or what? Should any team be so reliant on just one player?

Green Bay - what the hell happened with Kansas City?

Eagles - am I the only one holding their nose over Michael Vick?

San Francisco - are the 49ers going to be a viable continder?

Lions - Wow!

Cowboys - are they a team or a yo-yo?

Denver - why is everyone so upset over a guy praying? Not my thing, but if that's who he is who cares? And why does Elway badmouth Tebow?

Vikings - what the hell?

Seahawks - you would think that a team owned by a gazillionaire could become a viable NFL contender.

New England - am I the only guy that doesn't like the Pats?

Ravens - still love 'em!

I say he should get the MVP award, 'cause he clearly is. :lol:

As someone who hates the Dolphins (and especially the 72 Dolphins), this was the most disappointing game of the year
Eagles - am I the only one holding their nose over Michael Vick?
Nope. I keep hoping he gets injured each week. Does that make me a bad persion? :twisted:
Lions - Wow!
Wow, indeed. They came out of nowhere.
Cowboys - are they a team or a yo-yo?
Watching them lose is always a highlight of my NFL weekend.
Denver - why is everyone so upset over a guy praying? Not my thing, but if that's who he is who cares? And why does Elway badmouth Tebow?
He's absolutely free to do it, but he does overdo it IMHO.

Seahawks - you would think that a team owned by a gazillionaire could become a viable NFL contender.
We Buffalo Sabres fans are thinking the exact same thing over in NHL land.
New England - am I the only guy that doesn't like the Pats?
They're in my top three Hate list after the Dolphins and Cowboys.


Pretty good season overall (except the Bills sucked as usual). Here's hoping the playoffs are just as entertaining.

Detroit out of nowhere? They ended last year on a 6 game winning streak, were going to have a healthy Stafford and added Fairley to a very beefy d-line. I expected them to be about where they are, although with less of a hot start and more of an up and down season.

That is what I was talking about... How they took off so fast. I was expecting a roller coaster of wins and losses and Detroit looked like a killing machine.
