Not cold enough =\
 
You simply can't get to the red zone and not score TDs. Doesn't matter who you're playing, if you don't finish, you're going down. What an annoying game, felt like watching FSU in the last few years.
 
Way to grind it out guys. Onto the Super Bowl...

Another especially impressive performance by Maroney. Hopefully Brady gets his head out of his ass in the next 2 weeks.
 
the cold didn't effect the game not one bit in boston. If they play like that against either nfc team in the superbowl. I feel sorry for them.
 
Scary game for me, when Brady through the INT in the end zone I threw a shit fit. Maroney pulled through HUGE. Did anybody else see this? I think he was bleeding on his arms and he spit out a little blood, he was absolutely pounding it in there.

Brett Favre is our last hope.

Will good triumph, or will Satan take control of the NFL for good?



Soon, Brady will impregnate all of our girlfriends and female relatives, it'll be a world of Brady's.
 
I don't understand the people cheering for the Pats on the basis of shutting up Don Shula. At worst we'll have to hear from him very rarely on ESPN. If the Pats go undefeated we'll have to hear about it forever.

Oh well, good game Chargers.

Also, I was looking through my DVR and I noticed an ad from Reebok with this hot chick in a tan shirt talking about players who all have Superbowl rings?

Who is this woman?!
 
WOOOOOO!

Three thoughts:

Kevin Faulk : Game MVP (honorable mention: Maroney)

What a fucking soft move to punt from inside the 40, didn't even get the ball back, nice one Norv.

Chargers bring out the worst in Brady, great corners on that team.

An offense that can't get in the N-zone won't win championchips no matter how good they are.

What about the 1990 Giants? They won the NFC Championship game 15-13.

And didn't the Ravens go six straight games without a TD during their Super Bowl season?
 
:lol My father is beside himself. Going on about how wild it is seeing the team he watched play for free when they couldn't get anyone in the seats when the franchise started perform like this now.

Kevin Fucking Faulk and Maroney are studs. Just so many fucking weapons.
 
Meh. Go NFC!

Anyhow, a handful of chicken plays by the Chargers sealed this, and they should have played a more aggressive D... they played a great game, and their red-zone futility was really the difference. (Also, one weak play by Chris Chambers didn't help)

That's where they miss LT because they have more options in the running game with him in -- outside and inside, whereas when it's Turner or Sproles, you pretty much know where the run is going.

didnt' the league ban tinted faceplates? why does LT get it and Barry couldn't use his? That was a huge advantage for his opponents.

Rest assured, in 10 years when people are trying to say if LT belongs in the hall next to Barry, the tinted faceplate argument WILL come up.

Umm, I don't disagree that it makes a difference, but no... assuming his career continues on this path, his visor isn't going to be an issue when the topic of Canton comes up.


EDIT: BTW, the Colts would've been steamrolled, IMO.

Hey.. I saw your avatar. it's wolf from gladiators, right? Was he in Con Air?
 
Going to a bar now to watch this game. Should be great to watch. Good luck to both teams though I think the Giants would make for a better SB.
 
The NFC game is already brilliant. Among the things we've seen so far:


The pregame show coming, for no god damned reason, from the field

Jimmy Johnson pouring a glass of water to watch it freeze during the show

Troy Aikman bundled up like an 8 year old with the flu


And the most hilarious collection of hats seen on television in quite some time

So again I ask, does the NFL thread implode if we get a Brady/Favre Super Bowl? I know this thread has a lot of haters for both guys.

I really wouldn't know who to root against. :(
