NFL playoff thread

I probably should have stuck with the original "Steeler Douchebag."

Really dislike this tough-guy BS. Heard it too many times.

"You're a COWARD!!!!! On the INTERNET!!!!!!!"

What does this mean?

Deleted posts (hahahah, what a scandal!)

Is it when someone does not agree to meet for pistols at 10 paces at the local Aldi?

Is it when someone makes a smart-ass remark, then doesn't care to argue about it?

What is a "COWARD!!!!!!, pray tell?

Not worth watching.

 

Uncle Fester? Is this 2007? Wait, it can't be. I think there might have been one or two people who still respected oop in 2007.

It's also awesome being called a coward by someone hiding behind anonymity.

 

So, to recap, you're a dick.

 

Well, everyone on here ripping Flacco the past couple of weeks likely would disagree. His 8 INTs in 11 playoff games is cleaner than every Hall of Famer I listed above. In the past 3 years his playoff TD/INT ratio is 12/2. But because he never goes 38-for-48 for 450 yards and 4 TDs, he's just "meh."

 

We're all somewhat anonymous here. I guess.

But the whole "coward!" thing is just dumb. What, because we all argue and talk smack on the Internet?

"You would NEVER say this to someone's FACE!!!!!!"

Hey, let's be fair: maybe I would. If the dude was like really overweight and I knew he couldn't catch me. Or if I had 10 buddies with me and he had none, like Richard Marx Blogger Guy.

Not if it was some little skinny guy, though. Those dude probably had their mommies put them in jiu-jitsu when they were younger. With enough room to move, little guys will totally mess you up in a bar fight.

 

Ted McClelland would say it to your face. OK, he'd be sweating and sharting his shorts, but he'd say it to your face.

Ted. Fucking. McClelland.

 

Yeah, Manning played awesome that day as the Steelers built a 21-3 lead after three quarters. Perfect example of reading the stat line and not understanding how the game went. Another example would be that loss to the Jets a couple years ago when Manning threw the ball Reggie Wayne's way one time. Stat line shows Peyton played well in that one too.

 

Some of us are a lot less anonymous than others. I don't really give a shit anymore. What is someone going to do, not hire me for a newspaper job I'll never apply for?

 

Your ability to read what was said is only matched by your misunderstanding of sabermetrics.

 

No, that wasn't the reason, if a reason at all. SF boat-raced their asses. This was the kind of performance that gets defensive coaches fired the day after the season ends.

I agree the Packers defense is awful. I wasn't anticipating "600-yards-and-it-could-have-been-700-yards-easily-if-the-game-was-close" awful. Especially in light of how ineffective the Green Bay offense was as well. I figured GB would give up 27 or 31 points but not an easy 45. Every aspect of the Packers was horrendous. Defense. Drops on offense. Drops and fumbles on special teams. Compared with San Francisco yesterday, the Packers looked pathetic.

 

Flacco's a weird guy -- he plays better in the playoffs than he does during the regular season even though everyone knows you can't knock Peyton Manning because playoffs iz hard.

 

Are you sure it's not Rodgers' fault for losing a home playoff game?
