Favre?

Lmao! Joe Flacco! You'd rather have Wacko Flacco than Rodgers! You do know that Flacco went 24-45 for 223 yds, 0 TD's and 3 picks in his 2 playoff games, right? During the season Rodgers threw for 30 TD's and 7 picks. Flacco had 21 TD's and 12 picks.
I'm starting to get the sense that your posts are sarcastic. It's funny though. As an Eagles fan I want to punch so many of our own fans in the face when they say McNabb has got to go and that he sucks. Who was our QB's before McNabb? Rodney Peete, Bobby Hoying, Ty Detmer, Koy Detmer, Doug Pederson. Believe me, you could do a whole lot worse than Rodgers.[quote=3rdyrp2]

Flacco has 3 postseason wins under his belt, Rodgers has 0 Flacco was 3 points away from going to the Super Bowl last season, Rodgers got destroyed by the lowly Arizona Cardinals. Flacco is also 3 years younger than Rodgers, a leader on the field who takes the blame when his team loses while Rodgers passes the buck, and doesn't look like Gomez Addams[quote=BerkshireBull][quote=3rdyrp2]

Last year the Pack gave up 23.8 pts a game and the Ravens gave up 14.6 pts a game. This year the Ravens D gave up 2.3 less pts per game yet the Pack won 2 more games, AND beat the Ravens on monday night. Flacco has 3 postseason wins under his belt, Rodgers has 0 He went 4-10 last week with 0 TD's and a pick. Are you really gonna credit Flac Jacket with that win? Not Ray Ray or Ray Jr. or Willis or Ed Reed? Flacco was 3 points away from going to the Super Bowl last season, Rodgers got destroyed by the lowly Arizona Cardinals. Thats ridiculous.[/quote]Aaron Rodgers is an excellent QB. The Pack simply doesn’t have any D. Speaking of D, my Colts showed Baltimore how to play some D last week. SFB, I love your rookie coach, but he’s gonna get schooled this weekend!
Hey Indy.
Saw your post on the other thread, the office sounds awesome. I was tempted to post the Fairy Tale that i sent you on here, but it would only draw the ire of the nutjobs. Can't underestimate a guy like Eli Manning brother. But everyone is underestimating Brian Schottenheimer, and as amazing as it seems, everyone knows that the Jets D is #1 in the league, but i think most people don;t really appreciate just how good they really are. Gotta love Bart Scotts quote yesterday - "we haven't even cracked the seal on how good we can be". - Finally the Jets have swagger. And i love being the underdog This should be a great game.BerkshireBull:
Rodgers gave up 13 points, the Packers D gave up 38. Cardinals D gave up 45 points. The Packers D gave up fewer yards than the Cards D and we lost, because of Rodgers. I don't understand why the Packers can't get someone like Matt Shaub or John Flacco in to quarterback this team. Rodgers is not a winner, he just can't get it done. As much history as the Packers have, you'd think they could get someone better. You'd never see a 2nd rate pithcer taking the mound for the Yankees on opening day. You'd never see the Lakers put some scrub out there to take the majority of their shots. The Detroit Redwings would never put some average player out there as their Captain. Great Franchises are great because they spend the money needed to go out and get the best. The Packers should be no different.[/quote] Single dumbest post in the history of this site. Just incredible that you think Joe Flacco is better than Aaron Rodgers.[quote=3rdyrp2]Rodgers completed 2/3 of his passes last week, threw over 400 yards and 4 td’s and brought you back from a 31-10 2nd half deficit to take the game into OT. You guys had NO business taking that game into OT and Rodgers singlehandedly did it. How many QB’s in this league can be given a 21 pt 2nd half deficit in the playoffs on the road and come back to tie it?

Difference between this Colts team and past playoff flops is the preparation. Dungy was a great guy and an excellent coach, but Caldwell was a great student under him and learned from Tony's mistakes. This team underestimates no one and didn't show the Jets squat in week 16. They were playing the vanilla offense, held several players out and still had the lead. Now, pretty much everyone is healthy, the playoff game plan is unwrapped, and Manning seems as determined as ever (I think he's secretly pissed that everyone still says, "Yeah, he's good, but he has only won one Superbowl. Brady has three."), I expect a very good showing on Sunday. The Chargers made the mistake of already running their bracket to the Superbowl and I get a lot of joy out of seeing Philip Rivers' mouth finally shut. Rest assured, the Colts will not make the same mistake that San Diego did. The Jets have great D, but Indy just held the team that dismantled New England to three points. I suspect Indy's D will be up to the task this Sunday too. If not, I'm not a sore loser...I'll root for the Jets in the Superbowl, but if my Colts get there, I expect some love from New York![quote=Indyone][quote=Sportsfreakbob]Hey Indy.

If the Colts can't beat this group they need hire a moving van and do another midnight move. Maybe International Falls will take them? To save us from the worst Super Bowl in history the Colts must win!!!!!They have a cornerback that eliminates the entire half of the field that he is covering.
- They have the #1 defense in all of football
- They have the #1 run game in all of football
- Sanchez exudes confidence and has the respect of his teammates and head coach, which is not easy for a 21 year old kid. His dad was an Army sergeant and raised him on discipline and leadership.
- They've adjusted their playcalling to have the run game open up the pass game, where earlier in the season it was the opposite and you saw Sanchez throw 5 INT's a game. Not anymore.
- They remind me a lot of the Ravens in 2000. Great defense. Great run game. Quarterback is there to make a play when necessary. Special teams is above average.
I think there's a lot to like about this team. No major superstars other than Revis, but everyone else knows their role and isn't a defense or offensive liability.
Colts by 2 TD’s. Jets nice story, but party is over. Get ready for 2 straight weeks of Favre / Manning love or “the revival of New Orleans” and Manning love.
Manning Bowl I. Saints vs. Colts.
Archie vs. Peyton. Apparently Archie is still a legend down there. That would be like 30 years from now Matt Schaub is a legend in Houston based off what he's done in his career so far.[quote=BondGuy]How about let Brett get one more ring so he can retire?

To save us from the worst Super Bowl in history the Colts must win!!!!![/quote] I dunno, BG...the Jets are a better team now than they were at the beginning of the year, that's for certain. My beef with Favre mostly relates to how he's a puss about going to training camp...pulls the same old retirement scam every year to miss camp. He's also been a bit of a pouter when things aren't going his way. I'll lay high odds that good ol' Brett "retires" but then is lured out of retirement after training camp is over. Unless he got enough satisfaction spending a year in Minnesota giving Packer management the finger (another reason I'm tired of his game). I'll give you this though...he's a helluva QB and a first ballot HOF. I just wish he wasn't such a princess.As of today there is nothing overly impressive about Sanchez other than he isnt making mistakes and has a lot of poise for a young rookie. He will be a great one, but it will take time, and we need him to contribute this weekend, but maybe not that much.
If the Colts can shut down Jones and Shonn Greene, they will win. Thats the key. If they cant, they're in for a long afternoon. End of story. Right now, Favre has the fire in the belly. If he can retire after winning, or at least going to, the big dance, it will be a big victory for him in more ways than one, after already retiring 17 times. Vikes to Miami.[quote=Indyone][quote=BondGuy]How about let Brett get one more ring so he can retire?

Do you have any idea the physical toll playing in the NFL takes on the body. Yes, Favre has not been a fan of training camp the past two seasons, but he never missed training camp the other 15 years. He was legendary with former teammates and coaches for never missing a snap in practice over his career. Don't let the ESPN hype about Favre dilute what he has done over his career and what he has given to the game of football. He did not ask to have all this media coverage. How come nobody is talking about Junior Seau and his retirement/unretirement.Because Junior Seau never entertained any media coverage. He had a job to do and thats all he wanted to do. No carnival show necessary as far as he was concerned.

Or maybe because he has sucked for the last 5 years..barely plays..Because Junior Seau never entertained any media coverage. He had a job to do and thats all he wanted to do. No carnival show necessary as far as he was concerned.

Favre was almost in tears in the post game interview after Dallas win = princess !
