    Colts are trickier. Luck is probably going to make big gains over the next two years in terms of decision making and consistency and hilton looks like he could be a pro bowler, but by that time he's coming out of his rookie contract and is gonna get big money. Not having a first round pick to help replace wayne, sure up the offensive line, or get a number one cb is really going to hurt them when luck eats up all their cap space.

    Luck looks pretty decent when he shaves his neckbeard and washes his hair.

    The minute personal hygiene gets in the way of a QB's mechanics is the minute we can give a shit about such things.

    the pats

    #1 in weighted Offensive DVOA.

    #2 in weighted DVOA, behind the Seahawks.

    DVOA says that Denver has a better defence right now (we'll see what injuries do to it this weekend), a slightly inferior offence, and much worse special special teams (but again: we'll see what injuries have done to the Patriots this week).

    This is pretty much entirely accurate. It really annoys me that Grigson pissed away that first round pick for Richardson because we need help on the o-line and the secondary really badly. And yes, we need someone to put opposite of TY Hilton. (<3 TY's end-zone celebration, it makes me laugh a little every time I watch him do it)

    What's really crazy is that if someone went back to 2000 and told me the Pats were going to be one of the most dominant forces in football for like a decade, I probably would've either laughed them out of the room or asked if they replaced Bledsoe.

    Its like me, today, standing in front of everyone and saying the Browns were going to be an unstoppable force of nature for the next 15 years.

    Oh, and if the Pats win the big dance, it will cement Belichick as having the most post season wins of any head coach ever. And, unlike Brady, Ol Bill has got quite a few years left in the NFL.

    Did you know Brady has the most post-season wins ever? And the next runner-up is Brees, with 7 less.

    Well the line and the secondary are actually good 3rd-6th round picks, so that really isn't that bad of a trade if richardson performs. I find trading good draft picks for running backs annoying, because you can draft a 1000yd running back second round, so you can trade that first round for a 2nd and 6th round pick and get yourself the running back and another person for the line. You could also get a running back with your normal 2nd round pick and get an outstanding WR. Then use your 3rd-7th picks on a Oline, or hell if your are looking for O-line exclusively, then you can just sacrifice your 1st and 2nd picks for a ton of 4th 5th and 6th round picks. Corners are becoming a harder to get commodity, so drafting one of them first or second is reasonable.

    Richardson is pretty much a bust, the guy has fumblitius and gets stuffed more often than Lisa Ann.

    How recent are we talking? Because unless you're talking about the 2001-2007 Pats, I don't see how anyone can hate them. I used to hate them too, but now I just kind of repect them. Look at this season. They're heading to the AFC Championship game on the strength of a pretty incredible coach, and Tom being just great enough still to carry the team. Though, the win last week over Indy was pretty much because of Blount.

    As a Niner fan I want my team to win, but if they lost I wouldn't feel so bad. Only because I don't think I could deal with the Seahawks fans at work. Like, the entire staff is behind the team and I can feel their angst at this upcoming game.

    It's painfully obvious that they are all preparing for a team meltdown. Having only lived here a year and a few months, is this to be expected? Is the Seattle fan base, barring the mariners, really that pessimistic?

    I think what this city needs is for the Seahawks to win and as the clock strikes zero, the clouds to part and give the city a bath of sunlight that lasts until after the Super Bowl.

    Seattle has a long, long history of never winning it all, no matter how good the team is. Only the Sonics, of all teams, have ever won a championship. And they're not even here any more.

    The mariners 2001 collapse, a decade plus of suck, the sonics leaving, and Seattle losing the superbowl has made Seattle very much "When's the other shoe going to drop".

    Yeah, it's kinda funny how much hate our fanbase gets considering we're nearly on the same level as Cleveland and Detroit, unlike them, we just keep getting close or promising, but with little result. Like they at least expect to fail.

    Seattle's relationships with championships is like that girl who keeps canceling your date but insists on rescheduling just to keep that false hope alive.

    And it always seems like the two teams remaining can't be good at the same time. Like the Seahawks are good now, but when the mariners were good the seahawks were fucking awful.

    At this point I'm worried though, if the hawks start sucking the mariners won't be better save the possible Tony Larusa hire for president I heard getting kicked around.

    Anyway this weekend I hear there was some griping about NFC championship tickets?

    God I hope so bad that we become the next patriots, we have the coach, we might have the QB, we have the arrogant defense, people already treat us like we are them.

    Like, i'd take the whooole package to have the seahawks just own the next decade.

    Yeah, I don't even know if this is good or bad. He inherited Dungy's Manning team, right? Then Peyton missed that year because of the surgery, and it was the Curtis Painter shitshow. I can't even remember how long he was in Indy before getting the boot.

    You must be new to Boston sports.

    I'll repeat what I said about 5 weeks ago:

    We don't think we'll be in the playoffs halfway through the season.

    If we do get to the playoffs we'll consider it a one and done.

    If we win the Super Bowl we'll say we knew it the whole time.


    I'll also repeat that we are the nega-Redskins fans. We are absolutely pessimistic despite having one of (if not the) best QB/Coach combos in the league.

    Of the big four: NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL both championships won are by teams that no longer exist. Seattle has championships in other sports like MLS, WNBA, and NCAA. But not in MLB or NFL which are the big daddies. Been close but not yet.

    And if we are not pessimistic enough already we know that we cannot be the Patriots 2.0 because every other team in our division is building a legit tough team. Rams are a QB and a piece or two away, Arizona the same. SF is SF. We get good and our division/conference is the toughest in football. Just figures. No coasting into the playoffs with a weak ass division for us.

    Dumbest hire.

    We need a guy who can adjust scheme based on players and then also make adjustments during the game.

    Caldwell clearly can't do the first part of that based on the Ravens this year and the 2-14 Colts he coached.

    Lions should have grabbed a promising college coach. Look how well it's worked for Seattle, SF, and Philly.

    It was in the 90s, so Florida State was looming over the conference, but yeah. Jim Grobe at least consistently gets them to .500.
