Football Thread

No I seen your message but I was trying to do the rounds because right now I am taking some lumps because my teams are playing like ass but it's straight because I root for the greatest teams in the universe. Talk to me, Queen. What do you have to say? That Osi was 1 half an inch away from swatting that 4th and 1 Vick handoff to Mccoy that went for the game winner back about ten yards behind the line and would've sealed the deal for the Giants? It was a close game and you better not think the Iggles are so high and mighty.

Other than Vick's run in from like 5 yards out for his only TD, we shut him down and you know it. The Bears are doing it now. We showed that Vick is still Vick.

Half of the team just have to stand there and be fat and push against another fat gut, for the whole game. The others just have to run, and catch a ball, and avoid other people who are running and trying to catch a ball.

In terms of ball skill levels, its low. In terms of physical astuteness and body control though, its high. Theres not much in sport like the sight of a WR or RB in full flow dogging anything coming his way with instant reactions combined with improvisation and physical agility mixed with strength. But this is something youre born with mostly. Like I said, apart from QBs, you cant really practise this sport to extreme levels of mastery and touch in the same way you can with Soccer, Hockey or Basketball.

Im saying this because I love watching NFL, but I dont understand when people like vandelay and Tooch compare sports, like this one is better than that. Its just retarded. I like socccer and NFL for completely seperate reasons.

football is much harder of a sport to master than you think. players come out of college and ride the bench for a year or 2 until they learn it. and those players are just as fat or fast as the current ones. it has nothing to do with talent, but actually learning the game.

jerry rice was the best receiver ever, but he wasn't the fastest or strongest. he ran a better route than any receiver that ever played the game. that was something he practiced and learned to do.

wide receivers don't just run to oak tree and cut inside. some plays have 2 or 3 different possible routes depending on what the defense does and the receiver needs to recognize what is going on as far as what kind of coverage (zone, man to man (no homo), etc.)and or blitzing is going on at the snap of the ball.

offensive lineman aren't just fat guys who block the guy immediately in front of them. pass and run blocking are 2 completely different talents that usually take a player coming out of college a year or 2 to learn.

offensive linemen have to recognize blitz packages and know which of the 11 guys on the field that they are to block on that particular play. pulling guards need to know which linebacker or lineman they are responsible for when they come around the tackle.

other than the quarterback, the offensive lineman are usually the smartest players on the field, not just big fat guys.

How about Buffallo giving Pitts a fight today? I told ya'll the NFL was pretty balanced this year as far as the bottom teams giving the top teams competitive games.

Well, cookie pie, the war is not over. Round 2 is coming up.. and if ya'll lose to this team today that we DEMOLISHED then we're tied up so don't get too excited. And I do not talk smack or shit I drop knowledge about realistic things that do or should happen.

BUffalo has been playing well lately..Fitzpatrick and Steve Johnson have been fantasy goldmines off the waiver

also, coaching is harder and more important in football than any other sport. way behind football at #2 would be baseball.

every other team sport, coaching is basically about getting the right matchup.

in any sport but football and baseball, i think you could switch the coaches and 95% of the time you would have the same result in the game.

baseball?? I dont kno, i think a basketball coach is more important than a baseball coach.

Don't underestimate the moves a manager makes in baseball. I think there's a reason they're specifically called "Managers" instead of coach, kind of a different beast. Baseball is more about the pitcher and if you have a great one you barely need to make any coaching decisions.
