PrintSorry for the light posting following Friday night's game. Part of it has been due to family Christmas obligations, and part of it has been lack of desire after the embarrasing way our season ended. Things will go back to normal tomorrow.
Use this thread to discuss today's games. I will adopt a team to root for at some point in the postseason, but I am not sure who it will be. Let me know if you have picked one, or if you are totally against doing that. One thing we can all agree on is cheering against the Ravens.

Yeah, but not cheering the the Ravens today means cheering for the Steelers. Bleh.
This one's for you, #9.
Here's to all of those teams that we needed to lose
I’m rooting for them all to win.
Ravens to win
Broncos to win
That way we wouldn’t have made the playoffs anyway!!!!
I'm rooting for Miami.
just because they play the Texans.

Was this guy from Seattle's
blog really serious about their run D being descent?

Ryan Grant is killing Seattle. What can CJ do?
From the look of today, CJ still might have a shot at the record.
Im pulling for the Saints. And yall might disagree but I say Ravens for the AFC…I hate every other team in the AFC more and still have a thing for Mason
Maybe we can get a poll and whoever wins the site can adopt

and Steve played for them
if we can’t get it done, it’d be nice to see a team honor him. even if it is the Ravens.

Living in Ohio
I’ll have to pull for the Bengals. I’m sure they’ll lose in the first round, but better than pulling for the Colts.
Bengals are my second favorite team as well.

the look on the players’ faces made it seem like they just lost the super bowl. I’m gonna laugh when they lose their 1st playoff game.

On a brighter note today.....
The Ravens and Steelers are both well positioned to miss the playoffs, and the Jags and Texans are positioned to finish ahead of us and get NOTHING for it in return.
The only true peace will come if next week plays out so that the Chargers loss winds up meaning nothing.
I truly hope we are active in Free Agency this offseason, as we have many needs and fewer picks. At the very least, we have to get a quality #2 CB, secure a starting Center if Mawae is done, and get DL and WR help.
Am I the only fan who’d actually happily tank next week’s game at Seattle in exchange for seeing CJ get 60 touches?

I don't care if we lose by 40 points just get CJ his yards
by danomite on Dec 27, 2009 8:27 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Vince is the most valuable player to this team
It’s pretty obvious CJ gets his yards, but how Vince plays has had the most impact on how this team plays
by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 27, 2009 10:38 PM CST up reply actions
vince could easily be replaced/ improved upon
there is no other cj. that’s just crazy talk.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
CJ was playing when we went 0-6
Vince wasn’t. Seems pretty clear who we needed to win. (We need both actually)
I understand your point. CJ is a rare talent but we needed Vince to actually win ballgames. Having Vince in the game makes our offense go and makes CJ even more dangerous.
I disagree that he can be easily replaced and/or improved upon.
"easily" was the wrong word.
i mean there are a lot more qbs out there that could lead this offense effectively than there are running backs (zero) that do what cj does. fortunately we never saw what this team looks like with out cj, but i guaran-damn-tee that it would have been ugly as hell. cj wasn’t getting near the kind of focus during 0-6 as he did during 7-2 because dinger had lost his mind and we weren’t being a run first team. only after kerry got canned did the offense go back to its old identity, pounging the rock on the ground and cj2k took off.
we all know superhorn was dead on the money about vince making things better for cj. well, im here to tell you it goes both ways, we just haven’t seen it yet, and hopefully we never will. there is nothing in football that makes it easier on a QB than a potent run game. our entire offense is based on what cj brings to the table, ergo he is our MVP, and it’s not even close.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
I'm not going to have a VY vs CJ debate.
That’s just dumb but when Vince was out our offense sucked. Bad. We saw that when Kerry went in to spell him.
I just think the original comment and point from Big Bad Bulluck was that we needed Vince this year more than anyone to pull out of the downward spiral we were in. Did we also need CJ a great deal? 100%. Absolutely.
And again, I have to disagree that there are lot more QBs out there that could replace Vince and be successful. Vince is a rare talent himself.
I'm not saying Vince is a better player
by any means… But VY has more impact on whether or not we win or lose… VY plays like shit like he did Christmas we lose, even though CJ had a field day. VY plays well we win. That’s all there is to it. Look at every team bro, the teams with the good QB’s win the teams with shitty QB’s lose, at least that’s what I see now in the NFL today
by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 28, 2009 4:39 PM CST up reply actions
I honestly don't see any coach taking a dive just for a higher pick. That is just wrong for a lot
of reasons in my book. You always have to try and win – always
You can still "try" to win....
….by giving the potential MVP 60 carries.

Schedule next year if we are in last place:
- Houston Texans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Denver Broncos
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Redskins
- Oakland Raiders
- San Diego Chargers
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Houston Texans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Cleveland Browns
- Buffalo Bills
The first 14 are set, the last 2 depend on where we finish.

No whammies!
SInce I’m horribly wrong on my Titans prediction every year, I officially predict 0-16.
we got this
so we made full circle back to the nfc east since vy’s rookie year.. i think we got a shot at this…id love to play the cowboys on thanksgiving of xmas that’d be awsome since i live in texas…most of my family and friends are cowgirl fans..love to see us whoop up on them!

I am going for Denver probably and the Bengals
Denver lost today narrowly. Hopefully they can still get the wildcard
say what you want about the squeelers and ratbirds
but there is not grudge match i would rather watch in the entire NFL that doesn’t involve the titans. i loathe them both as franchises, but those 2 teams always play a hell of a football game.

don't go start any nonsense
but if you want to smile, go READ (not post, 7-8 teams should have nothing to say to 14-1 teams) some of the threads over at stampede blue. there’s about to be a bloody uprising in indy with polian/caldwell being sent to the guillotine. schadenfreude is just so good sometimes.

i was pissed when we did it last year
but with a perfect season on the line? O.M.F.G. pissed wouldn’t come close to describing it.

Yeah, I spent about 30 minutes over there.
It’s like taking a dip in a hot tub after taking a long, hard day.
Boy, that Manning is a company man, huh? “Yessir, you’re the boss, sir.” (But in his mind: “Are you out of your f**king mind? F**k you! This is my f**king team!”)

what a great way to memorialize
becoming the fastest to 50k passing yards. “i remember when i broke the 50k record, it was that game where we threw in the towel on a perfect season in a completely winnable game when i hadn’t been sacked in over 150 consecutive pass attempts. ahhhh yes i remember it well.”
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
If this is sacrilege, so be it.
But I feel bad for the guy. He’s a competitor. His coach and owner are…are…I don’t even know what. Scared? Clueless? Timid? Silly?
I feel what every Colt’s fan feels right now: The inevitable loss to the Chargers just a few weeks away.
This one's for you, #9.
Owner vs. Players
Owner says:
"Football logic has to come into play, and that logic is it makes no sense to have guys out there with the potential for injuries," Polian said. "We played for 16 weeks, sharp as any team in football. The good thing is that none of this mattered in the standings."
Guy who is actually in pads fighting the real fight (Jeff Saturday – on the fans booing):
"I don’t blame them a bit, man," three-time Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday(notes) said. "I probably would have booed, too. I don’t blame them. They pay to come see us win games, and we didn’t get it done."
When will they ever learn?
This one's for you, #9.
I dont think the 49ers and Eagles improved after getting rid of him

Well, not the 49ers, but the Eagles and Cowboys. Two out of three.
The Eagles went from 6-10 to 10-6, made the playoffs.
Now the Cowboys go from 9-7 to currently 10-5, made the playoffs.
Now, the first year of two with a team, he seems to help. But history shows that by the 2nd or 3rd year, they start to go downhill. Usually around the same time he starts complaining about his role in the offense of the effectiveness of his QB.
This one's for you, #9.
yeah
TO always comes in and his talent is the first story. then the drama begins and he slowly sucks the life out of a team. when even the dallas freaking cowboys can’t stomach what an ass you are, that’s quite an accomplishment.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
Titans acquire TO
and then immediately drop him the next day? Maybe we pick up a win or two.
