Shortline Bus Posted October 17, 2012 Share #252 Posted October 17, 2012 Not to go off topic but further proof ESPN only promotes "Stars" and "Controversy" in their Sportscenter coverage. Up until Tebow busted on the scene in the NFL couple of years, their "golden boys" in pro football has been Brady, "Big Ben"(Until he got into legal trouble)and Peyton. Teams dont matter that much in the TMZ-themed Sportscenter. It's about "Hollywood" as we seen with Peyton, Tebow and Lebron. - I'm gonna say this, because it's annoying now.... It can't be just me that realizes that the Broncos defense got NO recognition for that comeback on monday.... You'd have thought Peyton threw for 5 touchdowns & 400+ damn yards with how he's getting damn near all the credit... ESPN (of course) actually compared this past MNF game to a game where the colts played the bucs back in 2003 (which was also a MNF game... I remember that comeback too).... I'm like, you have to be kidding me... Those 2 games were NOTHING alike. The bucs in that game had one turnover.... The chargers on monday had SIX.... Rivers handed that game to the Broncos on a silver platter.... See, sports media knows Peyton's on the downslope of his career, so they're gonna use an occurrence (such as this) to have NFL fans believe the contrary... Of course, no one in that profession is gonna bring up what I just brought up b/c the man's been a face of the league (along w/ Ray Lewis... tough break what's happened to him) for a minute now..... He did not will them to this comeback, nor did he really do anything individually that was all that spectacular.... If any of you saw the game, he was throwing a bunch of checkdowns the whole night.... Lot of wobbly thrown balls by Peyton in that game; hell, this season, thus far.... I'm still questioning his arm strength, but that's just me..... The denial that he's not the same Peyton as he was during his stint with the colts, I have to say is quite sickening.... - As for the Eagles firing that defensive coordinator... Although the Eagles on defense haven't been (their trademark) blitz happy since jim johnson left, juan castillo being ousted was a convenient scapegoat.... I haven't seen every second of all 6 eagles games, but it's quite clear that something is amiss w/ that team - and it aint all on Vick either (although he aint helping matters either - he doesn't look comfortable running more plays that have him hanging in there as being more of a pocket passer, as opposed to the more scrambling, throwing on the run type of QB he's been throughout his career).... Andy Reid's job might be on the line too if the Eagles (not just Vick) don't turn it around... They're one of the ugliest 3-3 teams in the league right now (by that I mean, their 3-3 feels more like a 1-5).... ..and for dude who asked (you know who you are), no, I'm not a sportswriter.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Express Posted October 18, 2012 Share #255 Posted October 18, 2012 Russel Wilson is just the man. One of the best QBs I have ever seen. He plays with such athleticism. Can't leave Cam Newton and RGIII out of the running though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Nantz/Simms are the lead team for CBS, meaning that whatever game they get assigned is the best one on the CBS lineup that week. I like sharing the announcers because the network's assignments of them (not them themselves) shines light on which games are being hyped and which ones aren't.

Natnz and Simms will always be at a Jets, Pats, or Steelers game. When was last time they were at a Jaguars game lol. Or Buck/Simms at a Vikings game? I thought the NFL was suppose to mean all 32 teams on national tv across america all the time! (Not) On serious matter although i know about the maxium amount of times a team can appear on SNF, MNF or Thursday games dont it was seems the Cowboys(who have not won a super bowl in over 15 years) Pats, Steelers, Packers and now he with the Broncos Peyton is on every damn week.

Being 0-3 in division will come back to haunt the Seahawks later in season. Especially for playoff tiebreaker in which they could lose and miss the post season all together.

Hell NBC's Sunday Night Football was the #1 entertainment show for 2011-'12 season beating long time #1 "American Idol." So this is already old news Jubaion.

B35 via Church Posted October 20, 2012 Share #264 Posted October 20, 2012 So... who else is PISSED that they took the NFL Network off channel 11 on cablevision & put the OWN (oprah) channel in it's place ??? I planned on watchin that seahawks/49ers game this past thursday too..... Looking at the score, guess I didn't miss much; then again w/ the way the 49ers play, I can't expect much offense.... But I still wanna see this seahawks defense that's being glorified as of late & this Wilson kid as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted October 21, 2012 Share #270 Posted October 21, 2012 - They needed a last second td to beat the redskins? Exactly why I don't follow the giants like that.... last time I watched a giants game was back when they played the eagles like 3 weeks ago. - Dallas is even worse, needing 2 FG's in the latter stages of the game to hold off the stinkin panthers..... - As for the Texans, I knew there was nothin to worry about with them after last week's packers matchup.... They blew out the ravens by 30 points today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted October 21, 2012 Share #271 Posted October 21, 2012 Wow Cromartie, who is supposedly one of the best receiving DBs drops the INT.. Shame... Sanchez's fumble ends the game. Still, I'm very impressed with the Jets. They gave all they had and it was just short. However, the Jets gotta work on the ball security issue with Sanchez..

JubaionBx12+SBS Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share #273 Posted October 22, 2012 If i'm Baltimore, it's almost time to press the panic button. Flacco has not played on the elite QB level and the defense has shown aging this season. They barely squeaked by teams like Kansas City, New England and Dallas, now this blowout loss against Houston. Let's not get started with the Patriots. Unless this team gets hot it will be one-and-done in the playoffs, if they make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubaion if you read my past comments in last few weeks(which you probably dont lol)The AFC is the weakest its been since the mid 1990's i.e Buffalo making 4 straight losing trips to the Super Bowl. Even with Houston(i hate the "texans" name they should be called the "oilers" but that for another chat) being called the best in AFC at moment, I am not convinced they can beat good NFC teams in super bowl i.e 49ers, Giants, Falcons or even Bears in New Orleans in early Feb.

I'm not convinced either. I think their blowout loss at home to Green Bay shows where the AFC's "cream of the crop" stands up compared to the NFC. Things could change, but the prognosis is not good.
