Are you just upset because he may knock you out of the playofss in the divisional round?

Not really. Considering we'd have to play each other in the Wild Card round i doubt we could play each other again the week later.

Damn you Mike Vick! Damn you Matt Ryan! You're all running scared of us!

Feel free to make the playoffs - if the Rams make it and get Tampa Bay then I'd fancy our chances a lot more than against all of the other NFC teams


I've somehow made the final of the RLFans fantasy league. Despite having the worst of my three fantasy teams (although my other teams lost in the semis and the final of the playoffs) I've managed to squeeze in by chopping and changing my QB almost every week with such brilliant players as Vince Young, Brett Favre, Matt Hasselbeck, Kerry Collins and Tim Tebow. I also did it with one running back all season, having to play the likes of Clinton 'always injured' Portis, Donald Brown, Javarris James and other no-namers. Should be interesting to see if I can get some luck in the final

I made the final despite playing only 8 players last week.

The one thing about the Bears game is the fact that Lovie knows the Bears fans would love to win the game and knock the Packers out of the playoffs so I can see him playing the 1st teamers longer than if we were playing any other team in the league.

I'm not suprised we've only got defensive players in the pro bowl team.The best bit of the pro bowl will be that at least the AFC will kick the ball to Hester.I think it's a travesty that P Manning got into the pro bowl team inplace of Cassell.Cassell has hardly turned the ball over all season while Manning couldn't stop throwing ints a couple of weeks ago.i doubt all 3 of Manning,Rivers and Brady will end up playing anyway so Cassell should be next in line for an invite when one of the three drops out.

Re: The all new NFL Chat thread : Wed Dec 29, 2010 8:04 pm  

I thought Cassel deserved a spot too but Brady will not play whether we get into the superbowl or not so if he is next on the list he will be in.

The fact that Revis and Asawhateverhescalled got picked just shows how much of a pointless popularity game it is anyway and once you get in your name is always one of the ones on peoples minds and unless someone does something spectacular your more or less a shoe in, I dont think Brandon Merriweather should be in either, he wasn`t even our best safety this year never mind the AFC`s IMO James Sanders and Patrick Chung have been better but again he was in last year so he was already halfway there.

Rant over

Interesting note from Twitter earlier in the day...

Jim Irsay (Colts Owner) tweeted that "The Colts will be ballin in the UK sooner than you think"

Could we be next up for an away game for the International Series?!

Re: The all new NFL Chat thread : Thu Dec 30, 2010 12:53 am  

If you want to see the Colts in the UK, just come watch Staffs.

We're just like the Colts...


Except in every possible way...



Apart from the logo...




Ours is red though...

There is no doubt you guys are going to go 100%. That would be the case whether you could improve your position or not. We are obviously desperate to win but also get some redemption for the last time we played.
