Superbowl, SuperBroncos! (Page 3)

The "problem" with football (if it's a problem) is that it's SUCH a QB/passing league, that if your QB has a bad day, you are toast.

Your start player on a baseball/hockey/basketball team can have a "bad" game and the team still has a decent shot or is competitive.  If Peyton or Brady go down or have the flew or just are off for a game?  It's basically over unless you get a lot of defensive/special teams luck/help.

I guess technically they were since the DID get there.  And even beat the Steelers on some sort of miracle pass.

But if you recall, they were 8 and 8 that year along with the rest of the dismal AFC West and got in on some kind of triple tie break.  They were FAR from a legitimate playoff team, IMO.  And half of those 8 wins to get them there defy logic and were crazy wins.  To the point, everyone was joking that Tebow MUST have god on his side with the way they were pulling them out.

Since you are looking at completion %, INT's, and YPA, shouldn't you be saying RG3 should be ROY? He was better than Wilson in all of those, while rushing for nearly 2x as many yards.

The INT's point needs a little context I thin though. Luck threw an INT roughly every 34 passes, Wilson every 39, RG 3 every 78. I would expect Luck's INT rate to be a little higher than the other two considering he threw the ball about 70% more than they did. It is a little easy to defend the pass when you know it's coming. That said, RG3's INT number is really impressive.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

I just found that interesting.

Disregard. It was Psalm 91... That has less significance to Ray specifically...

I'd be okay if RG3 won it. Luck is just a turnover machine though. In addition to his 18 INT's he also had 9 fumbles. Watching the game today, he had 2 TO's and had at least 2 easy INT's dropped by Reed and Lewis.

Well, Baltimore took care of Indy. I'm feeling good about Baltimore here... even thought they are better with Lewis and Suggs back.

Looking at Den/Pats in the Championship.

Not really surprised GB won. What can you do with your back up QB.

Real shame RG3 was not 100%... that would have been a great game. SH spotted them 14 points then took it over. Wilson is quite an asset and dare I say Seahawks look dangerous....

but just one thing... I can't stand seeing Carrol smiling. I really do not like seeing him win.

I still see Niners and ATL in the championship.

Of those 4 teams, they all have a shot at making the SB.

That's why when I thought it was Psalm 51, I was like "woah, he's finally repenting..."

I mean the whole of Ps 51 is David saying "I did these horrible things, please forgive me."

But Psalm 91 is a pretty standard "be not afraid" type passage. It's one the military chaplains love to spread when you're at war.

I like to think he's a different person than he was in 2000. But yeah, by no means an angel.

I think Seattle matches up well with Atlanta. Our run defense has been suspect for awhile and it showed in the little that Washington ran it. Our pass defense is much better IMO and that's what Atlanta us going to try and do. Sherman needs to quit running his mouth quite so much. The 49ers will suffer if Smith isn't back at full speed. He's the key to that D line.

So is Pete Carroll this good as a coach this time around? Maybe more coaches should go from Pro to College to Pro again.

I think he has a GM who get's him and it works out quite well. We're going to be hurting next week if Clemons is out.

First off... isn't that between him and God? How do you know he hasn't "repented" already?

Second... all men are sinners and all sin is equal... perhaps he meant it in a general way instead of what you want it to mean.

It's going to be a good game, and SHs are fun to watch. I love a good secondary, and their offense is really good. RG3 seems to have the spot light... but him Luck and Wilson are on the same level as far as I see it. Wilson had a really great game today. Not all the same talents... but all exceptional rookies. You have to be excited with them on your team.

It absolutely is. I just meant I thought he had put out a public statement that he is repenting by wearing a shirt like that.

Wilson ran ahead and blocked a few times and actually did block. It's good to see that.

In general, or in relation to that little murder thing.

He is a pretty religious guy. Is he a minister... IDK, but seems popular among athletes... not that there is anything wrong with that.

I used to love to watch Plunkett lay people out.

All I'm willing to say is I may or may not have considered buying a Wilson Jersey. I have never ever considered buying anyone's jersey before. I did however get this T-shirt.

So Andrew Luck and RGIII walk into a bar . . . to watch Russel Wilson continue on in the playoffs. 

Looks better on Facebook.

Just hope that Espn sports honk Rob Parker doesn't have any questions about Russell.   I'm All In.  Go HAWKS!
