NFL week 17 running thread

I must have missed something. TELL ME nobody said Garrard is better than Vince Young. Because that's about the stupidest thing I could imagine ANYONE saying.

 

You haven't met Hondo yet then?

 

Clearly you have never dealt with hondo. (damn you T. Dreamer!!!)

Take a look at who the Saints have beaten. Nothing overly impressive there, either. Everybody in the NFC is mediocre at best, and the only AFC team they beat was Cleveland. Payton doesn't deserve any edge based on caliber of competition.

 

Has an NFL team ever earned a bye with a 10-6 record?

The NFC SUCKS.

 

I love it. They went 5-1 against one of the better divisions in the league, including a sweep of the division winner. But too many gag jobs sent them home.

Hope that New Year's celebration is festive, Carolina. You've got eight months until anything counts again.

 

Why is Cowher leaving the Steelers?

 

Sam, aren't you a Panthers fan?

In other news, Vinny Testaverde did it again: He threw a TD pass in the final minutes of the Pats' win over the Titans to extend his record streak of seasons with a TD pass to 20. And once again, he has a chance to make his final NFL snap a TD pass.

 

The harder conference should help. Miami is a 10-win team in the NFC...Hell the Ohio State Buckeyes are a 10-win team in the NFC. Team went 6-2 on the road with a win over New England, which is a better team than anyone the Saints faced this season.

The Saints body of work isn't any better. Philly and Dallas were decent wins, but who else? The NFC South was garbage this year, they went 1-3 against the AFC North.

And like I said, compare rosters. How many coaches in the league could squeeze 10 wins out of a team with a below average running game, a below average rush defense and a QB being held together by screws and super glue? The Saints made a huge splash with free agency in the offseason by signing Brees and added the Heisman trophy winner to a backfield that already had Duece McAllister.

 

Because he'll get a shitload more money to coach the Redskins or someone else in 2008 than he will by staying with the Steelers.

 

You know I haven't seen Hondo around the NFL theads much lately. Wonder why?

 

C'mooooooooooon 49ers. Carl Peterson needs a win to bolster his job security.
