NFL Discussion Thread

It's more that the Jets have solid players all around, but no explosive players on offense. Really, if you look at the Jets offensively, who scares you? Sanchez? Not really. LDT? Past his prime, and has never performed in the playoffs. Edwards? A glorified possession receiver. So if their defense, which is usually very good, keeps them in games, their offense can just plug along and put a few points on the board. If the offense has to win the game because the defense can't hold, it ends up 45-3. It's the same formula the Ravens have used for the last 12-15 years. Which isn't surprising, considering where Rex Ryan was coaching before he went to New Jersey.

Steelers (blech) and Packers in the Super Bowl.
 
TTT, I'm calling the Steelers VS Packers in Superbowl, too. I'm still hoping it's the Jets but if not, it's definitely going to be between Steelers and Packers.

And I'll be rootin' for the Steelers :ryan:
 
I will be rooting AGAINST the Packers when they get in. My grandma is a HUGE Pack fan, and I enjoy rubbing it in her face when they lose. :griin:
 
The jets finally showing how overrated they are and Sanchez showing how much of a subpar QB he is.

Whatchu talkin' bout Willis? :mokken:

Lets watch the game and have some fun, its all good brah'
I believe there's a saying about a fat lady and a song...


Too bad about the Packers Cardiac :tighthug:
 
I can't believe the Jets lost...oh well, this was a great game when the Jets started to care. 19 point catch up is amazing!

Ahehehe, look at this guy:

That's some serious love goin' on there. :P
 
What else do you expect from the Steelers :wacky: They're a bunch of clowns xD

What ever, the Jets played good. Way too slow in the first 2Qs but, they started getting damn good later on. They kicked the Patriots asses, that's all that matters to me this year. :hmph:

Here's to hoping that the Packers destroy the Steelers in the SB. :griin:
 
In previous games and in this, it looks like the refs are always on the Steelers side. I saw a lot in that game the Steelers weren't called on for, but practically the same thing for the Jets was called on for :(

That's exactly what I said on NF. I hope the Packers destroy the Steelers :P

I hope the Colts appear out of no where and take the game and people won't care 'cause they'll be like "The Colts!" :woot:

Kinda like what happened with the Patriots last week where they were called for all kinds of penalties and the Jets weren't? :wacky:

The Steelers got called for plenty of penalties and so did the Jets. The Jets just failed quite hard in the first half. I enjoyed watching the Jets get spanked though. :grin:

I do believe I said "when they get in", meaning that I knew they would beat the Bears. Now I just need to root for the Steelers and when they win, then it will be all good. :ryan:

Um, I didn't see any of that during that match :eek:

Yet in this game, the Steelers got away with everything they did. I saw a Steelers player head lock another player and punch his helmet (though it didn't look too strong of hits).

The Steelers got away with a lot of things, especially in previous games. Refs got their back and all, ya know?

They caught up pretty fast though, but failed to go all the way. :(
 
And last week a Jets player slammed his helmet into the helmet of a Patriots player. There were at least two pass interference instances on the Jets defense that weren't called as well.

The officials needn't call every single thing. The Steelers did get called for pass interference at one point and I think unnecessary roughness (I don't remember exactly). The point is they both received penalties that were deserved.

What's funny is that last week when someone brought up the fact that the Jets had a few penalties that weren't called, they just got bitched at for being a sore loser.

Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot. The Jets didn't come out to play until the second half and that clearly wasn't good enough.
 
I saw maybe two penalties given to the Steelers, and a lot more missed "conveniently". Yet everything the Jets did was being tracked with eagle eyes lol

Wow, they played good in the second half, just didn't pick it up until it was too late. It was extremely entertaining :)

You hate the Jets, don't you? :p
 
I have to say that was one of the best second halfs I have seen in a long time. But, as everyone has pointed out, it was too little, too late.

Oh well, what can you do? *shrugs*

Can't do nothing. But you can always hope for the best next time or be happy that they got that far and that close to the Super Bowl! :>
 
Not really. And I'm not a Steelers fan either. :8F:

I just think they played very badly tonight (until halfway through the third quarter) and it wasn't the refs fault that they lost. I watched nearly the entire game and it seemed pretty fairly officiated to me. I find the double standards annoying though. When they win, everything is fine and dandy, when they lose, it's someone else's fault. Just accept they didn't play well and wait for next season. (y)
 
Oh, I'm not a Jets fan. :wacky:

I was only rooting for them because I don't like the Steelers, and because it's been a while since they were in the Super Bowl, so I wanted them to go this year.

Jets were called for 6, Steelers for 4. Not that big a discrepancy, considering there are about 120 offensive plays run in every game. Also, unless you've officiated a sport, it's difficult to understand how fast everything moves, especially at the professional level. NFL officials don't miss things very often, and you'll find no better in the world when it comes to officiating football.

Wow, they played good in the second half, just didn't pick it up until it was too late.

And that's why they lost.
 
So you didn't watch the whole game....?

I'm sorry, but they did play well. Not enough to win, but just because they lost doesn't mean they didn't play well and again, I'm sorry, but they played well (when they started scoring points that is) lol

And no one is applying double standards here at all. The refs barely call it when the Steelers do things, and that's the truth. Not saying they didn't miss shots for the Jets or any other team, but they always "miss" when the Steelers do something. :P
 
I missed about five minutes of it when I went to do my laundry. So yes, I saw the majority of the game. And I said they started playing well in the second half but they were already down by 24 points.

Like Triple T pointed out, the Jets only had two more penalties than the Steelers so it wasn't that huge a discrepancy.
