Vick's mechanics are at least GOOD (while it still looks weird to me only 'cause he's a lefty)..and Teblow looks like he's winding up as a pitcher, basically. lol

Vick needs to retire before he ends up with premature Alzheimers or unable to walk from all the injuries he's accumulated over the years.

Happy Otto Graham day!

Actually this reminds me of a thread that I wanted to start on here.

He's certainly a target. Lots of animal lovers out there taking his head off. That's completely understandable.

7-6 Pittsburgh Steelers at 7-6 Dallas Cowboys ,What most would say are the two most popular franchises in the history of pro football and between them they've won eleven Super Bowls and both teams have been in the championship three times against each other.Both Dallas and Pittsburgh have been to eight Super Bowls and no other team in the league has been to as many as these two teams.

Huge game for both of these two teams to keep their playoff hopes alive.I'm thinking it all comes down to if Big Ben plays for Pittsburgh in this game because if the backup plays i think that gives the advantage to Dallas.If he does play i think it could go either way.

You could probably say the same thing about half the guys in the NFL!

[Enigma869]

Roethlisberger calls the Steelers "The World's Team". What a fucking idiot. Nothing more obnoxious than players and fans claiming everyone loves "their" team. Fuck off, Rapist!

I think someone will sign these QBs. There are a lot of teams with bad starters and even those QBs would be an upgrade from what they have now. My predictions:

Alex Smith becomes QB of Jacksonville, and I'll double that possibility should they become the next franchise to move to another city.
Vick becomes QB of Buffalo. This would be a great fit. It would continue the tradition of Bills futility but with the occassional chance of an explosive play.
Vince Young becomes QB of Arizona. (Which isn't much of an upgrade, but still better than Kevin (Corn on the) Kolb or John (Helter) Skelton.

Tim Tebow? Can you say, future expansion team material?

My reason? These teams seem to love using terrible QBs (Kurt Warner was the only exception to this rule.) I can't explain it any other way. As long as there are teams that have bad starters, these QBs will find jobs.

Matt Flynn? He's probably ticked he's not a starter, but I don't think he'll go anywhere.

NFL moved the Niner's/Seahawks game next week to the Sunday night game. Suppose the assumption is SF loses against NE and SEA takes BUF. Man I hope not. One win and SF takes the division. I'd rather it be against the Pats, a team already locked up, than a very hungry SEA team.

Gonna be an interesting conundrum for Harbaugh if Kaepernick doesn't get it done against the Pats..

[Enigma869]

Regardless of the outcome of this game, the Bengals really suck! Steelers fans have absolutely nothing to worry about! Luckily for Bungles fans, the Eagles suck even more.

[slucero]

wow Ben telegraphed that pass...

[Liam]

Have I mentioned FUCK SHITSBURGH?? LOL

[slucero]

Really surprised at how the Pats are playing tonight...

Revised: SF is melting down...

Revised - Niners Baby!

But yea - they scared me there for a bit. I blame Harbaugh for changing the D. Stupid.

[DavidWT]

Yikes... that 49ers game was scary towards the end!!

[slucero]

ya.. that was some finish... 9ers showed they didn't need to rely on the d to win.. that's big for this team. Kap really closed the deal, and has ended the QB controversy.

Feels weird to sit a QB with a 105 rating (Smith) but this is Kaps team now. Smith will only be back if Kap gets crushed and can't play.

Posts season, Smith is gone.. he's gonna get paid big bucks to sit and not get hurt.. which should help him after the season is over.

I'd bet he's telling his agent "start looking now, fuck Harbaugh".

[mikemarrs]

Chris Johnson has 4 runs over 80 yards in his career with his 83-yard Rush TD today and it is the 4th longest run of Johnson's career (91-89-85 ... all three of those were in 2009). No running back in NFL history has ran the ball over 80 yards more than 3 times in a career except Chris Johnson.He gained 200 yards on 18 carries and had 2 TD's in a win over Buffalo.

And, he still sucks! Fuck Chris Johnson. Guy is a complete fucking fraud. I've NEVER seen a guy in the history of the NFL go into the tank so badly after signing such an enormous contract!

Make that 6 runs over 80 yards in his career,After Chris Johnson's 83 yard rush TD against Buffalo on October 21 he had an 80 yard TD run on November 4th against Chicago which was his 5th and tonight on Monday Night Football against the NY Jets has scored a 94 yard rushing TD which was the 6th of his career over 80 yards.

Johnson has three different runs over 80 yards this season which is more amazing considering no running back has over three in an entire career.He has six overall in his career the closest back is Barry Sanders with three in his career.

[Liam]

MNF games have fucking SUCKED this year.

[Liam]

I THINK so.

[YoungJRNY]

Just got in from Dallas. Left last Thursday and landed in Pittsburgh today.

Probably one of, if not, the most electrifying football game I've ever been to in my life and I go FREQUENTLY. From the first snap all the way down to the game-winner in overtime, the place was on a gigantic rush of pins and needles. Very exciting. Steelers fans took right over. The consensus was that it was 60/40, borderline 50/50 split.

My favorite, part, however, was how the Cowboys fans acted like the away team trying to pick a Blue and White friend out of a sea of Black and Gold. Cowboys fans are without a shadow of a doubt, the coolest/nicest fans I've ever came across.

They literally stepped aside and even let us waltz in and didn't even give a shit haha. Very polite fanbase. Steelers fans represented full-force. Great game, couldn't ask for a better one. Only fitting these two marquee franchise's tied in regulation and needed an extra quarter to decide a winner.

Good win for the Cowgirls, they stayed alive. Steelers holding on by the skin of their ballsack. Beat Cincy and Cle, we're in.

So now you know we're NOT like the rest of the obnoxious NFC East fan bases. lol

Pretty much everything about the Cowboys is obnoxious. The amount of attention they give the Dallas Cheerleaders blew my mind. They came out to twirling flags, music, fireworks and who knows what.

Sometimes, I'd check to see if I was at a football game and not a rock concert. Jerry Jones obviously had the intent to entertain first and foremost. Here, it's the National Anthem, player introductions and straight to kickoff. Dallas's pre-game is a ton of work.

When the Cowboys got introduced, smoke interrupted from beside them and they ran out with shots of fireworks going off and what-not, let alone the humungous big-screen from above. The fans are defiantly obnoxious, the "How 'bout 'dem Cowboys?!" chant after every yard brought a chuckle since their still working on their whopping 2nd playoff victory this decade.

That said, AWESOME experience. AWESOME people. I am seriously glad I experienced something like that coming from a city like Pittsburgh. Though Texas isn't my style whatsoever, I enjoyed being there and embraced their culture. Top notch prideful people. Pretty rad.

[Liam]

JJ just carried things over from Tex Schramm. So ya can't place it ALL on JJ. Anyway...I don't know what the fuck fans you were sitting next to, but "How 'bout them Cowboys" only comes from me after a win...and even that's rare. lol

Sorry dude. Put your Titans dildo away. I've seen enough out of Johnson to know that I'll never respect the guy. Anyone who tanks it and disappears for two straight seasons after signing a ridiculous contract will never have my respect. Don't even put him in the same breath as Barry Sanders. It's not close. I could care less how many 80 yard runs he has.

Precisely why the Cowboys suck and will probably miss the playoffs once again. I'm not sure how anyone (including Cowboy fans) can take Jerry Jones remotely seriously. the guy is a complete buffoon who doesn't know half as much about football as he thinks he does. Jerry is too focused on having the biggest stadium with the biggest scoreboard and it's completely lost on the guy that none of that stuff matters if the team on the field sucks...and they do!

Having been a Cowboys fan for going on 30+ years now, I completely agree. People from Baltimore complain about the Colts relocating and keeping that team name. The way Jerry Jones raped that team coming in as new ownership, what he did to Tom Landry, and how he's basically screwed that franchise into the ground over the last 15+ years makes me believe they ought to have changed their name when he bought the team.

[Enigma869]

Remarkable that the Patriots are on this list, given how many games they lost during the first 30 plus years of their existence.

[Memorex]

As a Niner fan with a huge game on Sunday night, here's the stat I don't like that no one is talking about. Niners win-loss pattern this year.

Win
Win
Loss
Win
Win
Loss
Win
Win
Tie

They have not won three in a row this year. That blows.
