Be honest, Toro. You were the one at Schaub's house yelling at him, weren't you?

I refuse to answer this until I speak to my lawyer.

Smart move.

1/3 of suckage under Wade just about complete.

If it were just a draft pick, id still root for a win, but if Wade looks just as bad as Kubiak..... we get first pick AND we keep from making a lateral coaching move( most important part).

Wade is as bad as Kubiak... if not worse

A baked potato could be a better head coach than him.

Exactly why I feared a single win out of him. Leave McNair to think that MAYBE Wade was our guy.   

But the season was worth it. Sure we were 2-14 but, it rid of us Kubiak so I can't call this a losing season.

  Bill O'Brien..... I got my eye on you..... my patience clock with you starts... now. Do me a favor and be the FIRST of those schooled under Belichick to be successful as a HC in the NFL.  

Now, the wait for next season begins......   This is gonna be a long wait.

So... anyone who thought the Super Bowl was going to turn out the way it did, raise your hands.

Yeah, me neither. I thought it would be a close game or a blowout the other way, perhaps.

I didn't expect it to be THAT bad, but yes. I did.

I KNEW Manning would lose in the SB.... he always does (with the exception of him winning by default because of Rex Grossman)

IF he ever beats a competent QB in the SB, I will stop saying "he can get you there, only to lose it." Til then....... I don't dislike the guy personally, but I DO dislike the way the media portrays him as the GOAT and like he is a demi god that no man shall be mentioned along side him. He is simply a great QB, NOT the GOAT.  

Rings dont make GOAT, but, when they GET to the big show, they SHOULD have more W's than L's. (I know I am a broken record, but someone has to dispel the myth that he is "a god".)

worst. Super Bowl. ever.

I still think a lot of Peyton's success has come from tricking defenses. Joey Porter said it back in 2006 and it still seems true. He gets the better of a lot of teams that way, but occasionally there's one like the Seahawks who aren't fooled.

Agreed, the man can read a defense like nobody else, but that doesn't make him the GOAT. Greatest at reading a D, I could get on board with that assessment, but talent wise, he is simply good.

It's his dedication and ability to read that makes him great. But that ability to read and his dedication isn't enough to give him the GOAT title IMO. Talent I believe has to be a HUGE factor in the GOAT title. (I dont see him as having a "one of a kind" QB talent.
I watch him play and I think, good QB. I don't see anything that makes me say "This guys natural talent REALLY stands out from the rest of the good QBs" outside of his reading the D ability. )

So, what's everyone's college football playoff predictions?

Mine's: Oregon, Alabama, Ohio State, and TCU

What I want: Oregon, Baylor, Ohio State, and TCU

At least at this point, I'm thinking it will/should be Oregon, Alabama, Florida State, and Baylor. Don't really feel like Ohio State deserves to get in, but I'm a little biased because I hate the living daylights out of the Buckeyes

I was hoping Arizona would administer yet another smackdown to Oregon...yeah, no. Actually, that might be for the best.

Oregon is probably going to slaughter Florida State, and then hopefully slaughter Alabama.

I still don't think Ohio State should've gotten in, but I understand why they did. I do think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are Ohio State and were the "sexier" choice of the three.

The Big 12 Commissioner is not happy with the decision either...

One touch down means going to the Fiesta Bowl or going to the Toilet Bowl. Geez, it was one touchdown.
