You guys serious?

Jumpman DID get banned :lol:

He called GMS A _____ boy (I ain't getting banned) and someone mysteriously reported it (:nerd:)

He's still being the same Jump on Twitter tho :lol:
 
Did anyone notice how fast that B'more D-line was last weekend? They were flying around all over the place. I feel like they stepped up to a whole new level for the playoffs.
Primary reason Ravens will upset the Pats in Foxborough. New England as 7-point favorites is downright disrespectful. I believe Brady has only won one of 3 attempts vs. Flacco in the playoffs. Baltimore's pass rush could create monumental problems for the timing and success of McDaniels' offense.

The way that defense looked last weekend I thought Ray Lewis stopped by and dropped off some deer antler spray before the game :lol:

Smith is one of the more underrated LB in the league. Mosley was a perfect fit for what Pees wants to do defensively.

Thank Dumervil's agent for botching the Denver situation. Probably rekindled his motivation as well.
 
So we're really gonna sit here and act like this is the same Pats D of recent years with a swiss cheese secondary that used to give up almost 300 yards passing a game? Forget Revis,Let's see Steve Smith try getting physical with Browner.

Don't be offended. It's going to be a close game. I'm just leaning Baltimore, 23-20. Daniels and Brown will have to step it up with the emphasis on limiting "Smitty" and Torrey.
 
Not offended at all,the Ravens have definitely earned the respect they receive over the years and they're the team I'm least exited to see the Pats play in the AFC but I'm just saying that this team is a lot healthier and deeper than the Pats teams that used to get beat up by them. As DSK and others have said,the game will be won in the trenches. I just hope they don't get overwhelmed by that front,they've somewhat stood their own against the better D-lines in the league(KC game aside :x) that they've faced so I have some optimism.

I agree with someone other than the top 2 recievers needing to step up,wouldn't be surprised to see Daniels becoming a huge factor with the secondary mostly focusing on the 2 Smiths. All in all,we should be in for a good one :smokin

Them Bama boys don't play around defensively. Mosley and Hightower on each sideline. I just prefer Collins because he's far more well-rounded and adept in coverage.

FTR, the football fan in me is rooting Pats. Never had a soft spot for Baltimore and I want the W for DeadsetAce DeadsetAce , you, and other loyal Pats fans I've chopped it up with in the team thread. Plus my boy "D-Mac."
 
Would not be surprised if Crockett Gillmore had a big game.
 
Cowboys fans scared :nerd:

I for one am terrified. I think we can win the game but our secondary vs. those wideouts and Rodgers is a nightmare scenario. If GB gets hot it could be over real early. We need to control the clock and limit GB posessions.

How Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy have blended new-school tactics with Montana-era West Coast offense principles to bring the Packers to the brink



http://grantland.com/features/aaron...green-bay-packers-new-age-west-coast-offense/

Just read this a little bit ago and was going to post it. I like how it touched up on McCarthys role along with others in Rodgers development while giving credit to Rodgers for having the tools to begin with. Ive been saying forever how much I hate the arguments of coaches only being successful because of their QB or QB's only being successful because of their coaches "system". Usually involves BB and Brady or Rodgers/McCarthy. In order for any system to become successful it needs to work both ways.

Ive heard so many times that McCarthy is overrated because he has Rodgers. That is total bull to not give McCarthy's "system" credit as a huge role in Rodgers development. It would be total bull to not give Rodgers credit for having the tools and skillset because of the "system". As a coach who is currently on a 6 year streak of playoff births (tied with BB and the Pats), number of division titles, success with Matt Flynn, a Superbowl, and a 20 game win streak, it irks me when he's called overrated and not considered as a top 3 coach. Especially when Pete Carrol is always listed as better. McCarthys been doing the same thing with his offense like Carroll has been with his defense, but has been doing it 3x longer.

@ChampCruThik Saban know's how to coach em up that's for sure. Collins has been an impact guy just about everywhere he's lined up,even on ST

. I'd say he's one of the Hoody's few recent hits in the draft,along with that boy D-Mac

I can respect that

It's a great matchup but I think that has more to do with the fact that no one really believes that Luck can beat Denver on the road all by himself. I'd love to be wrong though and I'll gladly season and eat my words if I'm wrong
