Child please, everyone knows the best team in the NFC is the Lions!
As a Panthers fan, I can tell you, you do NOT want David Carr.
Also as a Panthers fan, I haven't felt this way as a sports team since the Heat won 12 games.
Feels bad man
I propose that the playoffs be cancelled this year, as it's apparent there is not a single "good" team in the league... except the Jets, pending tonight. Crown their ass.
And I want to see Troy Smith, fuck David Carr he's already had 800 chances to succeed and continues to be too mediocre for a starting role.

On what basis in experience are you placing your opinion? I'm taking this straight from his teammate's mouth:
I used different language as Faneca, but the only thing I take from his statement is: "After that hit, we played harder." Saying adrenaline and passion are "short-lived" and "barely affect anything" is just plain ignorant.

Uh, yours is quite literally what I was just calling ignorant, yours is the knee-jerk illusion that people believe in because of...whatever you call it, a self-fulfilling prophecy (some better name but I do not care). Based on it sometimes correlating, people think they actually succeed because of getting fired up (while ignoring all the times it fucking terribly failed), but this is really base ignorance and something that any logical thinker can obviously realize is fallacious. Being a "finely tuned" athlete is what results in good plays, in winning, and some degree of chance. Some SINGLE emotion on some single play might also be part of that chance, but you cannot sustain emotion taken across a whole team taken across several plays. People try way too hard to impute their analysis onto a game rather than actually accepting what happened.
If you want an actual statistical explanation, then you could look at something like a study of "hotness" and how you are actually more likely to miss a basketball shot after making one (which goes against our feelings of "emotion" mattering), but I would not want to take away time from you finding ways to call me a fucking idiot despite you being so terribly, hickishly wrong.
As if I have not played sports (lol), but why the fuck would it matter if I had? Experience is irrelevant, we know more than enough about human psychology (thoughts of invincibility irrefutably lead to greater failure) or separately simple logic (people will ascribe success to hard work and emotion, ignore that hard work and emotion results in failure exactly as fucking often) dictates how wrong your belligerence was. I do not care how fucking wrong Alan Fanacea is, he is just buying into deluded human irrationality.
Well, from what I've read about Carr he's definitely no superstar either (though the Texan's questionable O-Line during his time there could raise a flag to some of his stats), but like I said, he can't do any WORSE than Smith right now.As a Panthers fan, I can tell you, you do NOT want David Carr.

Hopefully they'll look hard at the draft next year for a good QB. Or maybe even get Vick if he chooses not to rejoin the Eagles.
1-3 Cowboys vs. 1-3 Vikings next Sunday. Who would have thought that at the beginning of the season? Whoever loses that game can kiss their playoff hopes goodbye.
And the Packers are hurting. Aaron Rodgers might not play Sunday (concussion), and Jermichael Finley is out for at least a few weeks (knee).

I laughed so fuckin hard when I saw this. Thanks for sharing :D
lol what, people bandwagon against the Vikings? They are a bad team, why do you care if they win or lose ?_?
possibly a fan of an NFC north team?
I guess it's possible, but I would think they would be way more worried about the other semi-decent team in the division (Bears for Packers fans and vice versa). The Vikings are trash and will probably finish 2-14 or 3-13 so I have no idea why someone would be happy/surprised that they lost last night. In other news:

It's not like you can't be worried about more than one team in the division. I am far more worried about the Packers than the Vikings but I certainly think the Vikings will still be contenders with the Favre2Moss connection. Thinking they'll finish anything close to 3-13 is a joke
I think 3-13 for the Vikings is a bit of an exaggeration. They have a solid defense and running game, and Favre can still function (albeit at a lower level than before). The guy threw 3 TDs and 1 INT last night so he can't be THAT bad, and he has a nice corps of receivers to throw to (Moss/Harvin/Rice/Stankhoe). The Vikings have been in every game so far, just haven't quite come out on top. What's really killing the Vikings is Childress. He's too meek to get any sort of respect or solidarity out of his players. He reminds me of Dick Jauron and Jim Zorn.
Minnesota still has tons of talent, and I believe they have a chance to finish at or around .500. If Favre gets his shit together they'll be much more formidable, and could once again make a playoff run. Don't count them out just yet because they are 1-3, still alot of football left to play.

Childress is definitely a major problem (there have been games where his woeful playcalling cost the Vikings the game), but the natural curse that comes with being a Minnesota sports team also drags the Vikings down. It might seem a little harsh, but honestly I can only see them beating the Lions and the Bills in their remaining games.
Exactly - the Vikings are relying on at least one of the teams ahead of them collapsing due to need for the Wild Card, but meanwhile the NFC East and South are winning over and over again. The Vikings need to start winning games if they want any chance of playoffs. Unfortunately for them ...
Only 2 easy games for the rest of the season, and even then, Detroit are no pushovers this year. Stick a fork in the Vikings ... they're done.NFL Schedule said:
Meanwhile, how about my Jets and no turnovers over the last 4 games. Going for the NFL record next week.
