Around the NFL Thread

[rabueed]

The Harbaugh Bowl would be boring?! Ray Lewis's last game every being in the Super Bowl would be boring?! At least that would be a good game. The Pats would probably destroy the Falcons.

Eh, it's not about the coaches. I don't know about you, but I hate watching Flacco throw. It's like nails on a chalkboard kind of pain. Kaepernick is at least fun to watch, but I hate the Niners, so that nullifies that. Patriots/Falcons would be an all-out offensive war. Ravens/Niners would be a gut-it-out, FG-in-the-last-second kind of game. I don't mind those kind of games, but considering how stagnant our offense is at times, it's a little refreshing to watch fluid offenses do work.

Idk how you could not like Flacco throwing the ball... I don't like him in particular because he's so defensive, but they had a stat today on ESPN saying something like hes thrown a ball over 30 yards 48 times this season and not thrown a pick yet.. I probably just jinxed it but stil

That's impressive. He has 93 throws 20+ yards (including playoffs) down field and threw no interceptions on those throws. 10 of them being TD's.

Going to be interesting to see as the patriots secondary is weak.

also a falcons ravens superbowl would mean two QB's coming out of the same draft going at each other for top spot

[rabueed]

Flacco is one dimensional. He can't run, he can't scramble, horrible footwork, can't throw on the move, won't throw the ball away, and focuses primarily on hitting that deep pass or not at all. Sure, he has the occasional pass to Rice or Pitta over the middle, but that's it. His accuracy on those deep passes are good, but I think it's more a testament to the athleticism of Smith and Boldin.

Idk, never had any love for the guy when I had him as my backup in fantasy football one year and my starting QB went down so I had to rely on him. Ever since then, kinda gets under my skin, lol. Stupid reasoning, I know, but this and what I stated above is my main issues with him.

Out of Brady, Ryan, Kaepernick, and Flacco, though, who is the least fun to watch?? Flacco, IMO, without any hesitation. Kaepernick is so versatile that every play could be a surprise, Ryan is fun to watch simply because of the weapons around him, and Brady is one of the best pocket QBs to ever play the game.

[NDMets57]

All those QBs because Kappy are one dimensional? Brady thinks he's awesome bc he does a QB sneak once in a while. Pats aren't fun to watch, they are schemes and efficiency, not all about big plays like the Ravens. Plus Ray Rice <3 I don't want to watch a rookie in the superbowl either. I want a better storyline than.. Pats win... again.... so interesting? Ravens vs Falcons or Niners would have the best story lines

Maybe it's just me, I guess. I like watching teams like the Pats move up the field with short routes rather than the Ravens try 20 deep passes til 1 works and they get a TD. Sure, I don't like seeing the Pats there again, but I'm not exactly a fan of the Ravens either. If you think Brady is worse than Flacco, there's a lot of bias there. Brady isn't one dimensional. He's creative, can move around the pocket efficiently, and very good under pressure.

I'm actually kind of sick of both the Patriots and the Ravens, though. So many playoff appearances in the last decade... Any which way this goes, I want the Falcons to win it all, even though I really don't believe they will.

[NDMets57]

Obviously Brady is a better QB than Flacco but to act like he's got all these different dimensions that Flacco doesn't? Then you can say he doesn't have the deep ball dimension like Flacco does. Without that, the Ravens would have lost last week, that resulted in the miracle play to help the Ravens tie. I'm sick of seeing the Patriots win all the time, it's boring to me and yes I'm also bias because I have to see all their games and deal with their annoying fans, but either way, I feel like every Patriots win is the same game.

lol, well, I wish neither team was in the AFC title game to be honest with you.

I get more enjoyment from watching the Patriots play, but I'm rooting against them anyways because my friend is a Patriots fan. I gotta hate on his team.

[NDMets57]

Shouldn't Rams fans hate Patriot fans anyways after GoodellBurnedTheTapesGate?

Eh, I more hate the NFL for that one. Not the Patriots' fault that the NFL favors them. Heck, we wouldn't be complaining if the Rams were favored.

[NDMets57]

Butttt they cheated???

[rabueed]

Butttt they cheated???

Yeah, they did. Doesn't make them less fun to watch. I like Kaepernick cause he's fun to watch, doesn't mean I like the Niners or want them to win.

Like I said, I want the Falcons to win it all. They're the only team of the last four I actually like.

But you should hate them for it? Because it helped them beat us?

lol, look, I started watching football about 2 years ago. The only team I have grudges against is the niners, seahawks, and cardinals. Especially the Niners, because I live in LA county and they're everywhere.

but to add to what you said, you're telling me that if you hate someone, that makes them less entertaining? I'm a huge Lakers fan, and I hate the Miami Heat, but I don't deny they're talented and entertaining and fun to watch.
