For all sports, it's about the personnel and system...but, in the NBA, it allows for more individualism just because of the way the game is inherently. But, even then, if you take a player from a pick-and-roll system to say, the triangle? Unless they are a generational uber-talent like a Kobe or whatever, it's going to show in the stats.

But, in hockey and football, it's more about all the components lining up and how a player fits into it. You know I dislike the Pats...but, they are so freaking successful because that system is truly a benchmark. They know what TYPE of players to get...what players FIT into that system...and above all, have the continuity among the coaching staff to keep it going. Very few teams has this...So, back to your QB question for Chicago? Until the Bears stick to a regime and have some continuity from the top, the team will continue to be in flux and be putrid/mediocre.

 

srsly tho what do you think about alshon jeffrey maybe going to Tennessee. They got cap money and picks. Marry yoda needs a legit no.1 WR and Jeffrey is good

 

Well, he's kinda fragile. But, he's got good speed and obviously when he plays is always a downfield threat.

 

Pacman Jones arrested again

I can't believe Marvin Lewis hasn't been fired or transitioned to a front office role by now.

 

Neither can anyone else

 

You know, as rough as watching the Browns season was this year, I'm actually kinda glad they burned it all to the ground last offseason. Even though they lost the last game to the Steelers B-Team offense, the success they had against them early on showed me that the schemes are working, but the issue is a lack of talent and depth, which will happen when you strip a team down like they did. For the first time in a while I have confidence that the guys running the ship actually have a real tangible plan and are doing everything they can to execute it. Who knows if it'll work, but I'll take this over giving huge contracts to guys like Paul Krueger.

Now, they need to re-sign Collins and Pryor...

 

Amazing

 

Would Talib snatch his chain?

 

Steve Smith would rip his helmet off and break his jaw if he tried.

 

 

Get to play one more week!

 

Just saw someone from Green Bay Packers putting one way tickets to Miami in the Giants lockerroom.

 

what a shitty weekend for nFL games. blowouts.

1 blowout for sure next week... pats texans. lol what a joke. Rest of the games should be great. Was really hoping to see the Giants go further than this. A-rod is on fire

 

blah

 

One the that gets me about Green Bay and less than 10 seconds in any half. When he throws a Hail Mary.......teams just go dumb trying to defend it.

 

Fins were what I thought they were. Stick a quality opponent in front of them and it won't be pretty. Props to making the playoffs because that's very difficult in this league.

 

He Ma look I'm on TV.... and I'm dead

 

 

Absolutely ridiculous that they let him come back in after 1 play... I smell an investigation pending

 

 

I'm no doctor but not every big hit leads to a concussion. Reports said it was more of a back problem

 

That was a brutal hit though - looked like it caught him under the chin.

 

Agree. It was a massive hit, but for all we know he could have just got the wind knocked out of him

 

It didn't look like a concussion, I've had several of them, but he definitely didn't appear to go through much protocol. They talked to him for 30 seconds and let him go back in the game. The dude had just laid there for several minutes unable to gather himself. I was guessing that he got the wind knocked out of him based on the contact area, but he should have stayed out longer than 1 play

 

Hail Mary! I think the pack are 3 for 3 while the rest of the league is 6 for 32!!! Some of the play calling was absolutely horrible... Hopefully we start hotter than 7 yds total in the first quarter next week against the cowgirls! I feel this will be a Seattle/Packers Championship rematch! Rodgers is playing lights out right now! Hopefully Jordy has bruised ribs, but what a cheap shot by that giants defender...

 

 

those guys will now watch the Superbowl from that same boat

 

After kicking my team's ass, Harrison at the gym this morning doing 575# squats on the machine

 

I hate the Fackers.


And I have this awful green/gold apparel to remind me just how much. No thanks to some nimrods on AZ.

 

That guy is a fucking beast.

 

Grown man strength

 

 

Nice rejection of the pic

 

You waited for the Giants to lose to post... convenient

Tom Brady will never be the greatest in anything, because Sheli has always had his number

 

On the Smith machine tho? Scrub. DYEL?

 

Oh sorry it took me this long to post it. I was waiting until they actually have an opponent. Pats fans arent familiar with this so called "wild card" weekend

 

Dude is a monster

 

Your hubris will turn into everyone else's schadenfreude when Belichick finally hangs it up

 

Thats fine. I had the greatest childhood possible. 9 championships in 13 years, with a chance for a couple more.
