  1. Actually Bayless has publicly said that he's just not ready to give up on Griffin yet.

    Injury has had a major impact upon his career so far. It's not an issue of "being wrong" about him. RGIII has demonstrated that he can be a very credible offensive threat.

    You and Skip may be the only people on the planet who think that about rg3. Even a lot of Redskins fans think rg3 sucks.

  2. The Browns and Lions may be headed to the playoffs in the same year? Gotta feel good for probably the two biggest suffering fans in the nfl to have winning teams (although the Lions have had a few winning seasons lately but still)

  3. Embarrassing though it misses the point as they make it out looking for a boogie man to blame on it.

    This could have been any team doing that and it would have had the same reaction. Programs aren't solid proof, and the internet is full of this kind of stuff. Over reaction is what is really happening.

    Who is over reacting about it? Most people could care less about this, but that doesn't mean its not at least a bit embarrassing. And yes it could happen to any team.

  4. I'll post a few quick ones.

    1. Have got to get pressure on Brady. If he has all day to throw you already know what will happen. Manusky better dial up some great blitzes, I hope Newsome gets a good amount of snaps too.

    2. Limit turnovers. Luck has thrown too many picks against the pats. This must be cleaned up.

    3. Protect Luck. I'm sure BB knows how bad our line has looked when getting blitzed. He may bring pressure a lot. If Luck is being tossed around like a rag doll we may have a very long night.

  5. This is going to sound incredibly arrogant, and though I don't mean it that way, there's no other way to say it...

    It's not going to be a rivalry until Luck beats the Patriots. He's only had two shots at them but has been outscored 102-46 in those two games.

    Like I said above, maybe that changes this weekend.

    For a real rivalry, there's got to be a mutual animosity. I understand that Indy still hates Brady and the Patriots, but for us, Indy is just this week's opponent and a competitor in the conference. Like VL said, Luck is a likable guy, and any decent person has been rooting for Pagano since his recovery from cancer.

    Back in the day, before Manning got over the hump, I was far more critical of him and had far less respect for him as a player. I thought he was an empty stats machine incapable of playing big in big spots. But he earned the respect of Patriots fans (even if we think Brady is better ;) ) and at the same time, as he became an obstacle, he earned our disdain! Dungy I sort of always disliked, even though he comes off as a nice guy. I just found him disingenuous.

    So I don't know, I respect the Colts and they're officially my pick this weekend, but I'm not feelin' it just yet. Let's check in again on Monday. ;)

    I dont disagree with everything you wrote, but its still a rivalry for some though no doubt. This is a huge game sunday night so that could make it bigger again depending on how it ends
