NFL 2011-12 Season Official Discussion Thread

I imagine people would be saying similar things if the 49ers had won it all. :laugh:

Really, the Giants just hit their stride at the right time and that's how it works in any sport. Sometimes it's not how many games you win but WHICH games you win.

Well, that's the thing. Nobody "deserves" a title. You have to earn it. And like you said, Eli has two and Peyton, as good a guy as he seems, is better known for... well...

It's been two days since the game and I admit that when I wrote that post, I had drank some beers and liquor shots. All that added to the fire since the NFC Title game. I don't think I wouldn't have felt this way had Kyle Williams not fumbled twice. It sucks but I feel back to normal now so I give the Giants all the credit for taking care of what they had to do to win. Eli Manning is very clutch and his throw to Manningham was awesome. I give them credit now. They talked a little too much smack lately though and that was/is annoying (Bradshaw, Rolle, and Tuck).

I mentioned about the 9-7 record because I hope we don't keep seeing teams with these kind of records win the Super Bowl often. It's cool to see once in a while but not every 2 or 3 years. The Packers won last year with a 10-6 record and let's not forget the Arizona Cardinals got to the SB with a 9-7 record. What's next? An 8-8 wildcard team that got outscored big time in the regular season gets hot and wins the SB?

I think Peyton Manning's window of winning another SB is closing. He's 36 and the Colts need to re-build. Their defense is pathetic and has always been that way. If Peyton goes to another team, it's almost like starting over unless he goes to a team that can seriously contend for a title. We will see but for now, Eli is writing himself a great legacy.
 
I mean regular season is regular season. The regular season standings don't matter anymore once you're in the playoffs. It's a whole new ball game. It's like basketball. You could be 8th seed and still have a chance to win the championship (not likely to happen, maybe)

Well guys, the Saints have been caught with putting bounties on their opposing QBs since 2009. This is very crazy and disappointing to hear about. I'm shocked to hear about it. That explains a lot about why they were blitz happy against the 49ers in a darn preseason game. I hope Goddell punishes them big time for this since he is emphasizing player safety a whole lot right now. Also, he should strip them of their 1st round pick and maybe more, fines, and suspensions to all players involved. I am so glad that Vernon Davis ran them over in the Playoffs even more now.
 
If Chargers lose Vincent Jackson to FA, I quit. Really, not to sound like a bandwagoner or something, but we need him. He's what kept that offense relevant when the O-Line was fucked up and Gates wasn't healthy. We lose him, we lose 50% of offense. And AJ Smith is too goddamn stubborn to pay the man (didn't even tag him), so I dread what could possibly happen.
 
Yeah I noticed that the Chargers didn't tag Vincent Jackson this time. Makes me wonder what's gonna happen to that offense especially if he leaves. Who do they have that can be the #1 WR? This off-season is going to be interesting indeed.

Barring any FA signing by Chargers, Malcolm Floyd.

No way in hell he's #1 receiver, at best he's #2.
 
Lol...Malcolm Floyd as a #1 WR. The Chargers can't let that happen. They're gonna need to sign someone or draft a WR. They're letting Mike Tolbert walk too. Man, they really are not re-signing any guys. I see your frustration man.

QB Peyton Manning will NOT play for the Indianapolis Colts this year guys. He's being let go so the team won't pay him his $20 + million salary for the upcoming season. This is shocking. I can't imagine Manning wearing another jersey. This is like Joe Montana going to the Kansas City Chiefs. I wonder who will sign Peyton. The teams that need a QB are Cleveland, Washington, New York Jets, Arizona, and Kansas City. Looks like it's the Andrew Luck era coming up next month.

McNabb pretty much told Peyton DO NOT GO TO WASHINGTON, due to well... personal experience.
