I vividly remember a frigid debacle against Cleveland late that year, where we somehow managed to blow the game like 9-7 against one of the most pathetic Browns squads I've ever seen. That day I was ashamed to be a Steelers fan =/.
In other news WHO'S READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?! A few questions to consider so we can diversify the discussion:
How likely are Cam Newton, Calvin Johnson, and Drew Brees to repeat their otherworldly feats from last season? Where do we project their numbers will be this time around? Not very likely. Cam is gonna suck hard etc. The entire Lions team is gonna be in jail and I guess Drew Brees could do well but I just dont see it without Payton.
Which team will be the biggest surprise this season? The biggest disappointment?
Browns / Broncos
What impact will Luck and Griffin III have on their teams? Which other rookies will stand out?
Luck and Griffin will be under a microscope so their effect (if any) on their team will be covered up by them waking up in the morning and brushing their teeth. Coby Fleener (TE from Stanford) and Whitney Mercilus (OLB from Illinois) will have monster years for their teams.
I do not love judging players by super bowls or even playoffs in general, but it is hard for me not to default Brees to #1 based on playoffs.I think Brees deserved a good deal, but I don't think he deserved THAT much. He's not the #1 QB in the league, and last year was most likely the best he'll ever have by a considerable amount, so he's probably on the decline. Paying a guy that much money when he probably only has 2, maybe three more productive seasons left in him is kind of over the top. They're going to have serious cap issues for years to come and when Brees starts getting fragile in his old age they'll be paying a guy $22 mil to sit the bench.
Cowher was in it as well? Damn I missed that somehow...but yeah, talk about a sweet gig to be in a Batman movie. I mean, that trailer with the whole stadium collapsing has been around for a while, and even seeing it in the movie it doesn't get old.it's ridiculous how many NFL players have gotten arrested this offseason
niggas be trippin' -_-;
also anyone else enjoy the steelers cameos in Dark Knight Rises? my nigga BILL COWHER was in on that shit too. not sure if there were any NFL cameos on the other team tho, wasn't worried about those guys.
I don't believe in "clutch" or whatever but DAMN. Compared to Eli whos barely even decreased... Well, that's two years in a row that Eli has outplayed Romo. One more year and i officially name Eli as better than Romo as 3 years is plenty of time for Romo to show he is clearly better. I am getting impatient.Tony Romo last year averaged 8.6 yards per play without pass pressure, but only 2.3 yards per play with pass pressure, the biggest gap of any regular starting quarterback except Rex Grossman.
