Sorry my team let you down.

You know, I was talking to this kid at work about the game, and he agreed with me that the Chargers should have won that game by a landslide. You can't place the loss on the kicker. It was a 54 yard kick. If anything, place it on the headbutter. Place it on the receivers that couldn't catch a pass if it was handed to them. Place it on a team that made more mistakes than a pee-wee football team.

I played football back in high school, I know what it's like. they were making horrible decisions and mistakes. I was honestly calling all the penalties and mistakes before the ref made their decisions. They were that obvious.

Yeah, I placed blame on players in my LJ, and Kaeding was not one of them.

You're one of the few. I tell ya, I'd hate to be an NFL kicker. They almost NEVER get credit when things go well, but are the first guy to be blamed when they miss and the team loses.

Yeah, everyone at school was placing blame on Kaeding. I got mad.

It would only be Kaeding and Kaeding's fault alone IF the score ended 0-0, and somehow the Chargers lost. Otherwise, someone else had to also mess up.

If your team loses by 3 points, you don't blame the kicker... The defense DID give up at least 3 points... The offense also had to mess up, otherwise the kicker wouldn't have had to kick a field goal.

Exactly. Clinton Hart and the dropped potential interception. Drayton Florence and the headbutting, Marty and the 4th and 11 attempt, Marlon McCree and the interception on fourth down, when he should have just swatted it down, Eric Parker missed about four passes, and then missed that punt return, and it resulted in a lost fumble.
Eh, next year.

I usually hate when people blame a single person for them losing a game. I'm pretty sure that hatred comes from a coach in high school. We lost a football game on an obvious bad call. We were all in the locker room cursing the ref with every breath (well, the ref wasn't there), and the coach put a stop to it, saying that the bad call didn't fumble the ball twice. The bad call didn't give up 35 points. We lost 35-31. We scored a touchdown on the last play of the game, but it was called off on a really bad holding call. The call was holding on one of our receivers. Said receiver was 2-3 yards from the nearest player for most of the play AND was on the opposite side of the field from where the play happened.

Anyway, to blame one person for an entire game gone bad is simply looking to place blame. There's blame to go around. If the offense would have scored more, the defense wouldn't have had to make a critical tackle or interception. If the defense would have kept the opposing team from scoring, the offense wouldn't have had to make a critical play. If the offense would have scored a touchdown, the kicker wouldn't have had to kick a field goal.. etc etc..

Yep. When a quarterback like Brady has a horrible game like that, and he still ends up victorious, then, the other team just doesn't deserve to be in the Conference Championship.
As crazy as it may sound, I'm still not convinced about Marty's curse. If there is a next year for him in San Diego, and we see more of the same, then I'll believe it. But for now, it's just bad luck.

I think Peyton will buy some dress clothes for New England's coach.

Why must Belichick dress like it's laundry day?

I agree. I don't like Billy's look.
He should dress up for the next big game(s).
(Hopefully just sigular.

)

Obviously, I'd like to see a Saints/Colts. I don't like the Colts, but I think that Peyton deserves a championship. Plus, I like Brees on the Saints.

Looks like Mike Vick is in trouble again.

He was trying to go through an airport security checkpoint with a bottle of water. Ok, as we all know, you can't do that anymore. He refused to get rid of it, but finally surrendered it. On closer inspection, someone noticed that it appeared to have a small compartment. Said compartment is believed to have contained marijuana residue. They're testing it, but Vick might face charges regardless of the results because he refused to comply with TSA officials.

Quote:

Ty: Mike Vick is in trouble.
Stu: like atlanta? qb?
Ty: yep
Stu: haven't heard anything yet... off to espn
Ty: He wouldn't surrender a bottle of water at a security checkpoint
cool.stu: oh geeze

Ty: THEN, when he did, they looked at it and it appeared to have a secret compartment
AND, said compartment contained what appeared to be marijuana residue
Stu: HAHAHAHA
rofl
Ty: yea
oops
Stu: seriously
...
Stu: He should have just thrown the bottle away
Ty: yes
he should have
but, this is Mike Vick we're talking about
...
Ty: He usually never throws anything away, he usually tries to run with it
Stu: can't even try to type the emotion I am feeling now
that was terrible
and I set it up perfect

ramrod · **Posted:** Thu Jan 18, 2007 6:13 pm

This just in! Vick is an idiot!

OK...so maybe it's not exactly breaking news on that one...

Seriously, how stupid must he be? He knows about the security rules, right So why risk getting in trouble with the law and the NFL? Would just throwing the bottle away been all that bad? It's not like he can't afford another one. All he has to do is go into a Spencers and buy another one, he has the money...

iKipapa · **Posted:** Fri Jan 19, 2007 1:48 am

Wow, Mike Vick is super dumb.

StrongRad · **Posted:** Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:32 pm

Call me racist, but I don't care if 2 coaches have a chance to be the first black coach in the Super Bowl. They're coaches. They're people. Who cares if they're white, black, green, or orange? If the Packers were in the super bowl, I could care less about what the person that coached them there looked like.

On a related note: GO BEARS!! (Come on, coach Smith, prove that one smith can win this weekend.)

also

GO COLTS!!!

ChickenLeg · **Posted:** Sun Jan 21, 2007 11:19 pm

BEARS WIN!

THEY"RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!

WHOO-HOO!

FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!

Wish I didn't refuse the ticket, though. If I knew this would happen, I would've gone! Stupid pessimissim. :-|

StrongRad · **Posted:** Sun Jan 21, 2007 11:55 pm

Simple equation..
Grossman >> Romo
:-)

Now, I think I'm cheering for the Patriots. I like the Colts but I don't want to cheer against the Colts 2 weeks from now.

Spyrox6 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 22, 2007 12:59 am

Yesterday at tennis, everyone but the instructor was rooting for the Saints. When he asked me, I said

"I'm going to be nice, so Bears."

Well, what do you know. I was right. Yep. Now that the only teams that are left are the Bears, Patriots, and Colts, Go bears!

The Patriots I'm getting really sick of. If I lived in New England, I would be sick of them too. They've won enough times.

The Colts are cursed from leaving Baltimore from what I heard. I doubt they'll win this game (The Patriots are up by 18 points). I've heard people say:

"The Indianapolis Colts were the winners of the Super Bowl 36 years ago."

Yeah. Back then, they weren't the Indianapolis Colts.

The Bears I never knew existed :eek:

. I have no relation with them. Chicago deserves to win something if their baseball team has an incredible loosing streak. Once again, since I hate the other 2 teams, Go Bears!

Just wanted to make sure you saw that one more time before Stu and his gang of Ninja Pirate Zombie Robots explode your toilet then jump in through your windows and kill you.

What? That's how we took care of Gemini. Er, THEY took care of Gemini. What? Who's Gemini? I've never heard that name before?
*points behind you*
What's that?

Go Bears!

...and then StrongRad began cursing Tom Brady. I think the Pats just scored and pulled ahead again..

DUNGY THROWS THE RED FLAG!!

Anyone notice that the ref sounds like Mike Hammer from The Red Green Show?

2:00 left... Pats 34, Colts 31

That was the wildest near fumble I've ever seen. The ball pops out, then overs over the receiver's hands.

COLTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!

Beyond the Grave · **Posted:** Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:17 am

Hey, Ace....INDY IS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!

They did it the best way possible: a come from behind victory.

Hey Ace, how do you like your crow?

Spyrox6 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:17 am

Oh jeeze, Colts just scored raising the score to Colts 38, Pats 34. 1 minute left. Then the colts intercepted at 16 seconds. Colts win.

Not good. This is bad news for the bears.

The Colts are one of the few teams that can beat the Bears. Well, assuming the Bears are evenly matched: Go Bears!

Well Beyond the Grave, your optimism sure worked. Indy didn't die. And now, their curse might be broken.

ed 'lim' smilde · **Posted:** Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:18 am

COLTS WIN!
..is that good or bad? I'm kind of a Peyton Manning fan, so I sorta wanted them to win, but there are some huge Patriots fans who probably want to punch someone in the face...
