Mr. Fluffy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Speaking of bad teams( ), have any of you guys heard of the whole "Suck for Luck" thing? Apparently a bunch of fans of the bottom-rung teams are rooting for losses in hopes of a first round draft pick to get a good new quarterback next year.ROFL. Maybe some Colts fans are falling into that bandwagon, since Peyton's not gonna play forever, and Curtis Painter's no Andrew Luck. XD And thanks for adding college football talk to this topic. The Wisconsin-Michigan State game has been pretty wild. Also, I can not WAIT for Bama and LSU to face off in Tuscaloosa in a couple weeks. Edited October 23, 2011 by Superbionicle Quote "By me...

Toa of Nerds Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Does anybody think the 'boys can overcome their Cowboy luck? No. The Cowboys are a talented team that finds ways to lose games. The opener against the Jets was a typical example. They were up with a solid lead in fourth quarter. A couple of turnovers and some bad defense later, they lose the game. It's what the Cowboys do. However, they are really fun to watch because the play (and lose) a lot of close games. As for "suck for Luck", right now my money's on Miami. The Colts might need a QB within the next 2-3 years, though, but I don't see them taking a QB with a number one pick when they have Peyton Manning on their roster. -don't touch my pocket protector Quote Three great comedies at one low, low price....NOTHING!

Also, I can not WAIT for Bama and LSU to face off in Tuscaloosa in a couple weeks.Yeah...The colts are gonna be amazing if they get him and he fits in like newton does in Carolina. But I'm watching these games now and they're wild!! I'm really entertained by wisconsin vs michigan st. I LOVED WVU losing to Syracuse. I also like the idea of Pitt and Syracuse to the acc! As a Pitt fan, I don't like it in basketball at all. But i like it more in football. If I could get a chance to have Pitt vs Penn St or Pitt vs WVU as an out of conference game though, I would go with Pitt vs Penn St. But I think everyone knows that Pitt vs WVU is more likely.As for "suck for Luck", right now my money's on Miami. The Colts might need a QB within the next 2-3 years, though, but I don't see them taking a QB with a number one pick when they have Peyton Manning on their roster.As for this, they might do that. Because he's old...He's only has maybe 2 good years left! If they get luck they could ease him in like the packers did Rodgers!

Actually I thought 35-7. They both have big quarterbacks who can take decent hits, questionable offensive lines and secondaries, powerful linebackers and defensive lines, great running games, and the best safety in football. They're both consistent playoff contenders in the AFC North. If you said those two sentences to someone and asked what football team it described, they could describe either Pittsburgh or Baltimore. They're really, really similar. Pittsburgh has just been around longer. For the past several season they've been about the same.

Plus there's a big difference between losing to a team that's second in their division, and almost losing to a team that hasn't won a single game this season, and is arguably at the bottom of the league. Plus you guys faced them without Kenny Britt - no offense is going to mow through a defensive line without a good receiver, especially a defense like an AFC North defense. And he is a darn fine receiver, as much as I was annoyed at him carrying them to their victory, I had to admire his skill.

Mr. Fluffy Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) The only undefeateds there are in college football now are LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Boise State, and Stanford. And either LSU or Alabama will lose next weekend (in what will most likely be an AWESOME game). The only undefeated team in pro football is the Pack.

Maybe I'm biased since the XLII pass from Manning to Buress was what made me start to watch football for more than the commercials, but things like that last drive are why I agree with Eli that he's an elite quarterback.
