I'm a big fan of the better team coming out, despite horrible officiating. but those refs out there on the West Coast can be brutal, at times. nobody wants to see any Pac-10 zebras officiating their NCAA team in a college bowl

also, this year there seems to be an over-abundance in pass interference calls. it seems like during every play downfield, mostly in the pros, I stop and with a look of horror check to see the zebras and if they have thrown yet another flag

Norv Turner does suck. it seems like forever ago, but I actually liked and followed the SD Chargers when they had Marty. I think that Marty-Ball > Norv. any Cali-fags agree with me on this one? I think my statement has only become more of a truth the last couple of years
 
The roughing the passer call on Clay Matthews for his hit on Christian Ponder was ridiculous. It was a textbook "how to" on knocking down a QB within the rules, yet he was penalized.

Between all these defensive penalties being called, all a team has to do is have their QB wait long enough to throw a deep pass, and chances are they will get either a roughing the passer or a pass interference call.
 
see? the Steelers players were right last year. the NFL is changing its product into a new, neutered product

^ I heard about that. Im definitely not a Nickelback fan but I had no idea so many people actively despised them like that.

Care, who are you? are you really that guy who takes pictures of couples on tops of mountains or are you that skinny guy kissing girls on tops of mountains or what. i thought everyone in america actively didn't like Nickelback in the same way everyone in america actively hates Creed, seeing as they are the same band. it's like you're an enigma, or something.
 
The past couple weeks I have not been paying much attention besides a little of the home team.. Bears. (Have not been liking what I'm seeing out of them but its way better than the year before last... the 2009 season where they went like 8-8, but no where near as good, or should I say lucky, lol, as we were last year. The schedule is hard as hell, not to mention.

I was hoping it would be a noon game this week, vs the eagles, but its a MNF game now so that's gay... gotta wait till tomorrow night, when most likely I will be doing something or forgot...

I just got a new computer with fast internet so everything else these last couple weeks have been pushed off because all I have been wanting to do is go online and look at BL and other cool shit that I had to wait a looong time because lack of internet and or computer, and having to go to the library to get online.... even then its a two hour limit you get on the computers... shafty.

But anyways, Bears Eagles should be a good game. We kept Vick in check last year during the season game at home, and this year the "dream team" is not doing as well as they had hoped, with injuries and other stuff... Hopefully Chicago has it this time around but Cutler, boy is he someone that can make a fan bite their fingernails with anxiety... he is not doing so so bad this year, but he always manages to throw that one interception a game... right to, RIGHT TO the fucking defender...

As long as Jay does not throw towards NNamdi Asomuagh however the fuck you spell his name... he will pick it off... especially playing on some lesser experienced receiver like Hester or Knox, this CB will tear that side of the field to shreds on us... I have not been following any injuries really so I may get lucky and find that Nnamdi is injured or something... I know Vick has been getting injured this year already. Now he is very vulnerable, especially if Peppers or one of our big nigs hits his ass.
 
Hahaha thats class! Bring on another beatdown please Ravens.

Penalty flags should be banned for this fixture, Just let them play.
 
zuh? Big Ben is something like 6-2 against B-more. and they have perpetually failed against Pittsburgh in the playoffs as of late

though this game is tough to call. three Pittsburgh linebackers in James Farrior, James Harrison, and LaMarr Woodley are out, which makes playing their 3-4 defense tough. I'm expecting defensive mastermind Dick LeBeau to play more man coverage, like last weekend against New England, and to also play more 4-3, to make up for the hurt linebacking corps
 
Harrison could play but Woodley is a big loss. Joe Flacco turns into Joe Flacid on the road. Ravens have been very poor on the road bar the Rams game. Big Ben is 7-1 against Ravens at Heinz. Euugghh.

Patriots Suck :)
 
Giants vs Patriots was some game. It was all about defense in the first half, and then all about offense in the second half. The Giants won without their top wider receiver and running back in Hakeem Nicks, and Ahmad Bradshaw, who are out with injuries.

The Patriots don't seem to play good against NY teams. If Eli hadn't thrown that interception in the end zone, I don't think the game would have been as close as it was. The tight ends for both teams had huge games, coming up big when it counted.
 
holy shit Flacco! what's wrong with your throws? i mean you should be able to complete some fucking passes. Ravens converted something crazy like 14 3rd downs, the most since 1970!!! it could have been such a better game, but what can top winning on the road, with 08 seconds left, against someone like the steelers. very dramatic. someone said that flacco was doing great and i wanted to punch them. did you not just see all the fucking missed moments of glory that i did? sometimes, i swear to god..

damn. Baltimore eeked out just enough late-in-the-4th quarter heroics to pull off a much-needed W against the Steelers, at Heinz Field. beating the Pittsburgh Steelers twice in the regular season is a damn impressive feat. I do despise the Baltimore Ravens with all that I am as a fan, but to truly despise a hated rival, one most have some respect against said opponent

and as much as I will say it through gritted teeth, I do respect Baltimore. looks like Joe Flacco and the Ravens finally got home-field advantage in the playoffs (currently ignoring the sensationally upstarted Bengals)

I do hope to see you in the playoffs. congrats for the hard-fought win, suburu. there are better and more exciting NFL games than Pitt VS Balt

at least we can agree on one thing!

seeing the NY Footbaw Giants topple NE reminded me of living in Boston and viewing that vainglorious NY Giants SB victory among all my Patriot-fan friends ;)
 
that's gotta hurt, j? your vaunted defense giving up a 92 yard drive and a touchdown with 8 seconds left to lose the game and the series.

i feel for you :) new england looked mostly awful.

What a Game man! Incredible win. I wanted to smash the tv when Wallace flew through the air and scored, all i could think was "here we go again". Also, it almost 5am. Then, the 3 and out after the Wallace touchdown was so bad i could only see a Steelers win. If Sizzle is Bens nemesis, then Harrison truly is Flaccos. He was like a rabid dog all night. Surprised the Steelers didnt just run the ball with 4 mins left.

Delighted for Flacco, he showed some unbelievable resilience and character to come back and drive the Ravens to victory and his 3rd down completions was insane. If Woodley was playing im pretty sure Joe wouldnt have had 14 3rd downs. It wouldve been devastating to lose again especially after Smith dropped the first pass. It was like last year all over again. Boldin and TJ dropped perfect passes in that game and we had touchdowns wiped off for holds.

A home playoff game would make all the difference. Have to get the offense playing consistently. It should do wonders for team confidence. Need to win the next 3 games. I know the feeling but it still doesnt compare to losing a playoff game to the Steelers. Especially when its 24-24 with 1 min to go, 3rd and 20 and Antonio Brown pulls down a miracle from above to set up a 1yd season finishing TD! That one hurt. :)
