Official 2007 NFL Season Thread

If I were playing, I would have thrown for 88 touchdowns against the Bengals /Phil Simms.

Daryl Johnston is pretty good as well. It's too bad he works with Kenny Albert; he's not exactly camera friendly. Kenny looks like a mongoloid.

You show that there is no such trend of performing worse, then you prove your point. Stats matter shit by themselves, but trends do mean something.

Manning played worse against the Patriots in the playoffs because the Patriots defense was fucking great those years and Belichick knew exactly how to plan for Manning.

Worth noting is that Manning the choker was better in his 2005 playoff loss to the Steelers than the reborn Manning the winner was against KC, Baltimore, and Chicago in the 2006 playoffs and Super Bowl.

You more often face good to great defenses in the playoffs than you do in the regular season. Therefore, a quarterback is likely to post worse than normal stats in the playoffs. Amazing concept, I know.

TSN's a little dry, but I'll take it over ESPN any day. They actually show sports. ESPN is the straight male version of those celebrity gossip shows "OMG, did you HEAR what T.O. said?" It's just an endless athlete-worship wankfest. There is zero difference between Who's Now and Entertainment Tonight, except ET has better looking females.

Plus, TSN has no Stuart Scott "that's off the...*flips through urban dictionary*....hiz-zay" crap.

You win this one. I've never been in Canada when the NHL was in the off-season though, so I have no idea what they'd do then. My "favorite" Stuart Scott moment was when he said, "Patrick Roy tried to get his schwerve on, but it was two sizes too small." :rolleyes:

Dallas will go down this week.

lol We're about to see just how lucky the Bears were that Romo dropped the FG attempt against Seattle. All Dallas has to do is put up 20 and not give the Bears a defensive TD. Grossman can't produce 20.

The Cowboys blog at the Dallas Morning News had the term Train Rex in bold letters.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

God damn those Philly throwbacks are fucking hideous.
