Yes, I agree. I guess I started to go the direction I did mostly because I thought GB should have won by much more. GB receivers had, at times, alligator arms and dropped some very catch-able passes that would have been big plays. Pitt was lucky the game was so close.

The only problem with that line of thought is that conveniently forgets that each turnover was a result of a good Packer defensive play. Yeah, that's true. Why do I think the game was lost rather than won? Well 3rd down efficiency was 53% Pitt, vs 46% for GB. Neither great. Pitt had 19 to...

The SB is over and my impression is that it was more the Steelers lost than GB won. Without the turnovers, the Steelers were, if not dominant, at least had the advantage. The penalty on the Steeler kickoff return followed by the interception was a killer. Combine that with the fumble in the...

From what I heard them say, even the 2nd string QB couldn't have come back in. Why is there a QB substitution limit? What's the sense in it?

Has anyone noticed how little respect Antonio Cromartie gets from the TV announcers and commentators? They don't spell it out, but basically say "get physical, dude." I can attest from his time with the chargers that he doesn't like physical contact. NFL football is a heckuva way to make a...

They were the number one seed weren't they? Now the NFC has lost the number one seed and the defending SB champ and the AFC has lost last years conference champ. I think it's going to be NE and GB in the SB. I pick NE to win it all.

Do you think there's going to be some big hits in that game? Yes, I agree with you, there will be.

I don't disagree. I just think the NE is going to be very motivated. I think they want to make up for that one loss in an entire season. If they win this SB, won't they have been the most dominant team over a period of 10 years than any other? If not, won't they have at least matched any...

I Can see the Ravens losing to NE. They're at the top of their game these days. I really don't think there's a more professional team in the NFL. They just get the job done.

From your post count, I see you haven't been on this forum for long. I have found this football thread, year after year, to be an even tempered and friendly discussion of the NFL. If someone suggests a rule to change requiring the teams with the best records to qualify for the playoffs, it's...

According to Sports Illustrated, Dean Spanos says both the GM and the coach will be back. Spanos is incredulous and amazed to be asked. Per Spanos "We have a good core, and I don't care what anybody says." He is at least partially right, they have talent. All the talent in the world won't...

No matter what this franchise achieves, it ends up sucking, it always ends up with the old gagaroo when push comes to shove. I know I grew up there, but that's not a good enough reason to give a rat's ass about this team any more. Of course that will probably be taken care of in the near...

The following quote from the the San Diego Union sums up the entire history of the franchise. This was written after loss to Cincy: No matter what this franchise achieves, it ends up sucking, it always ends up with the old gagaroo when push comes to shove. I know I grew up there, but that's...

That roadblock will probably be removed after this season. I do not think Turner will survive missing the playoffs, and the Chargers will have a new coach next year. I'm not sure. I think it's more important to the the GM that he have a coach who does as he's told then to win the SB. I...

Despite what I said earlier, I think the Chiefs are not quite the illusion I thought they were. They are not last year's Denver Broncos. The question is whether there will be only one team in the playoffs from the AFC West or two? If 2, the Chiefs and the chargers will make it. If one, I...

No comments on the Skins/Eagles game? That was as close to a perfect game by a QB as I can remember seeing. It was just amazing.

Now Gates (Chargers all-pro tight end) has a torn plantar fascia. As someone who has had to give up, temporarily I hope, running, it is hard for me to imagine someone playing pro football with a torn plantar fascia. This is what I'm reading, he's expected to play in their next game. They...

With apologies to Dallas fans, as a Dallas hater I am enjoying their season this year. I usually avoid watching their games, but perhaps I should start. No wait, with my luck they'll start winning because I'm watching them. I know it's not right to hate a team, but I am so sick to death of...

Now if only the Chargers would fire Turner. The man is a great offensive coordinator but he is not a head coach. And while they're at it, they could fire the GM. I think he's more interested in screwing the players than fielding the best team. No such luck.

Here are some quotes from the S.D. paper to put your comment into perspective:

Ah yes, the Chargers are off to their usual 2-3 start. This time though, all 5 games were not just winnable games, they were games supposed to be won. A 3-2 start would have only been just ok and 4-1 really the minimum expected. Now they're 0-2 and the division. All three losses on the...
