Seatlle is a threat to SF!
58-0 win last week and more of the same vs. Buffalo. SF @ SEA next week...
-
What would that accomplish?
-
Well I can hope for a Seattle injury at least
-
This man could play QB....
-
If Brady is truly the football version of Milli Vanilli there has to be more proof than "they win too many games to not be cheating"
-
I wish someone would break your freaking neck!
I used to say similar things about Aikman, Favre and Simms.-
-
Um, Pitt hasnt been the top D most of his career. It was dominant when he first came into the league, and has always been a good D, but not even close to the best D each year.
There has been no better defense in the entire league from 2004-2012 than Pittsburgh. Don't waste your time looking up stats, there's no doubt about it.
-
you forget GB had the #2 D in the league and the DPOY and was no slouch.
Roethlisberger has benefited from probably the best defense in the league throughout his entire career. Also a top running game. There is more to this than rings.
-
You obviously are a huge fan of his - vs. GB Roehlisberger's rating was 77.4. Picked off twice, including one for a TD. Rodgers completely outplayed him and will easily surpass him as far as legacy is concerned.
-
And I would say that he played very well in one Super Bowl but poorly in the other.
-
I was just responding to the point "[ben] has played HUGE in the big games, especially the Super Bowls."
-
Sort by rings ---> become expert.
Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson aren't better than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly....
-
...there is just no way Big Ben should be left off the list too. Big Ben has been consistently great in this league pretty much since he came into the league and has played HUGE in the big games, especially the Super Bowls.
Not against Seattle. The Steelers won in spite of Roehlisberger's play (9/21, 123 yards, 2 INTs). He did rush 7 times for 28 yards and a TD, but he was putrid in that game and they probably deserved to lose. Antwaan Randle-El threw the game-winning TD.
-
Arians is a top candidate, also look at Mike McCoy from Denver
-
This the year to draft a QB.
No it's not! Last year was - see Griffin III, Robert; Luck, Andrew, Wilson, Russell. Tannehill and Foles are decent. Even Weeden is ok.
You guys are drafting Te'o.

Head coach can make a big difference. Franchise QBs often become champs at some point (Brady, E. Manning, P. Manning, Rodgers, Brees). But the easiest way to win in the NFL is to build a strong defensive team. Current NY Giants. Baltimore 2000. Tampa Bay 2002. New England did it before Brady was a veteran. All you need is a handful of high-impact players. SF now has a top defense with Aldon Smith, Patrick Willis, and Navarro Bowman - where just a couple of years ago the unit was terrible. The current offense isn't great, but they usually score enough to win because the defense is so dominating.
Bruce Smith and Buffalo's defensive unit was very similar for the Bills in the late 80s. Those great Buffalo teams were very good defensively, then became great teams overall with Kelly, Thomas, Reed, etc.
-
P. Manning is great but he will never be generally seen as great as Brady and possibly Brees, Rodgers, and even his own brother unless he wins another Super Bowl.
And - no QB has ever led two different teams to Super Bowl victories.
-
Why are they trying to take kickoffs out of the game? Do players really get hurt that much on kickoffs? It can be one the most exciting plays in football. Put the spot to kickoff back to where it used to be and stop this nonsense.
I agree with this - seems like a very high number of kickers today can power kick-offs out of the end zone very easily. To me there's something wrong when the ball is kicked so well that it touches down past the goal-post. Just keep moving it back and back further until only 1 or 2 kickers in the entire league can actually reach the end zone. You could tweak the other rules like kicking out of bounds results in the ball at the 50, same with recovering an on-side kick.
-
Matt Ryan is good but he has outstanding weapons - Solid two-pronged running attack with Turner / Rodgers.....Jones and White at WR.....Tony G. can not only still play - he's lighting it up!
-
Against New Orleans in the playoffs last year Smith was elite. 4 touchdowns. Probably had a bounty on his head too.
-
It's an interesting QB situation at SF. Many are saying that Smith will not get his job back unless the 49ers lose a game that Kaepernick starts - but I think that Harbaugh could name Smith the starter Week 15 at New England.

I've lived in Manhattan, New York for the past 6 years..
Lived in DC/NoVa for 12 years before that.
I should probably add New Hampshire - they still don't tax booze there right? And they have ski mountains, just not as good as VT.
-
Curious about the red/blue state breakdown.
Red for me would be 2 red states - Texas (Austin) and South Carolina (Charleston).
Blue - 14 + DC - Washington (Seattle), Oregon, California, Maryland (Montgomery County) Connecticut (southern), New York (New York), Colorado, Illinois (Chicago), DC, Vermont, Virginia (northern), Maine, Hawaii, New Jersey (northern)

Anyone familiar with New York City's gun laws?
In New York, if you get caught with a loaded firearm outside of your home, a conviction is a Class C violent felony and carries 3.5 - 15 years - and you do at least 80% of the jail time.
Guns aren't banned in New York. But possession of a loaded weapon outside the home is criminal, and carries a huge penalty. NYC is the safest big city in the country. It's not even close.
And for me, after living here for 6 years, it feels safe. I like the fact that most people I that encounter aren't carrying a gun. I like that, if some douchebag decides to pull a gun out in public, I can take action with the cops to have his dumb a$$ thrown in jail.
I certainly don't want to see a fully armed populace of George Zimmermans walking around.
