Can you be a bit more specific please?

 

Thanks.

Well if it's a catch it's a catch basically.

Is the explanation of the non catch

His knee is down before the ball comes out so in my opinion that's a catch.

 

Interesting that new England have a no stretch policy because of the rule.

I liked them before that season. In the 80s, you could buy NFL team pictures to decorate your room, even though nio-one knew anything about it. There were also some kind of lucky bags on sale, which came with small plastic model kits to build NFL helmets in various team colours (like a larger version of a kinder toy idea).

 

 

 

It was great, the OT win vs the Oilers and the NFC Championship game v Detroit are the games I remember most vividly, bar the Superbowl itself. Remember watching the Detroit game over and over.

Bandwagon year is something most skins fans are aware of...

Bandwagon year.

One of the all time great single seasons and they're never talked about.

It's one of the best watches on that Americas Game series.

Great win in the best division currently in the NFL for Nawlins.

 

If they can shake big Cam and scrape a win against the Eagles, Mr Brees is going to bring it home. Don't see any challenge from other side.

 

Eagles or Saints.

[minijc]

Pats will win Super Bowl 18. Eagles will crash & burn

 

Pats vs Saints Super Bowl

Bold call given their best player is done for the season mun.

Running game and defence

Amazing what that can do

And Payton is supposed to be a genius...

Super bowl 18 was a raiders (la variety) win.

Brees last night becoming only the 3rd player to ever throw for 70,000 yards. He will soon be the best QB ever.

So you only judge a QBs greatness by overall passing career yards.

Look at the recency bias in that list, as the rules have changed and passing has become easier.

I like Brees but he's not even the best qb of his era. So how can he be in the conversation for the best ever.

Look at the recency bias in that list, as the rules have changed and passing has become easier. I think that recent rule changes are related to what a defender can do in relation to a receiver - that will affect pass completion but won't make a bad QB good: is this incorrect?

These are genuine questions not intended as a 'dig' at you, as I don't know the game at all well.

These are genuine questions not intended as a 'dig' at you, as I don't know the game at all well.

You can use a few different stats and metrics to determine greatness as opposed to the one razor favours which as I said overly favours modern qbs.

Some mixture of sb wins, game wins, completion%, ypa, would give you a matrix to work from.

 

There have been multiple changes in the last 10-15 years that have made passing easier. Mainly to do with player safety, the hand checking at the line of scrimmage, pass interference are non player safety but equally influential in the rise in passing stats.

 

Same goes for receiving obviously.

Bengals finish to put the bills in was incredible

 

And the axe is falling quickly today

[RAZOR]

Fell asleep and missed the last quarter of the Saints game.

 

I think they'll have the beating of big Cam come playoffs.

[Teb0wing]

Did you see the video of Payton and Koetter after the game. Fairly hate each other in that division. Lovely stuff.

[mcdougall(4)]

The punch up in Miami was better

[Parklife]

Commiserations to all other fantasy participants, you were beaten by the better player I shall be back next year to defend my title.

 

In all seriousness, thanks to @@Foster14 for organising it.

[Foster14]

Thanks, but I didn't...

 

Rubbish final week after a dominant season. You even beat me without playing a defence... Well played!

[Parklife]

Switched my defence in the week before the final games. I assumed it would automatically put the new one in the spot where i'd removed the old one from but it didn't.

Would've been guttted it that had cost me.

[mcdougall(4)]

Big stories saying this is the last run for belichik and Brady.

 

Huge falling out.

[RAZOR]

GAME DAY!

 

Fuck Cam Newton.

Good read. He's got an interesting College story, started off at Bama dropping all the way down to JuCo, back to Tennesse and then onto the NFl without graduating What a man.

 

I assume you'll be cheering on Nawlins so we can have a derby match?

I hate the Panthers and the fraud Newton so yes would like to see the saints go through, actually eying up a trip to New Orleans for later this year as the city seems like a right hoot.

To be perfectly honest, it's a fucking dump. Katrina actually done the place a favour. Think Paris only more French.
