    If it's Pats/Panthers featuring Coldplay I don't think I would be able to handle the sheer levels of cuntery and may not bother.

    This is true. I've had the next day of work booked off but I may reconsider for this reason.

    I'd like to say anyone but the Patriots would do at this point, but should the Panthers take it the bandwagon would be unstoppable.

    I'd have Carolina win it ahead of the Pats every time, if it were my choice.

    I'd probably be the same based on the teams themselves, but then I actually know a fan of both teams (as in, Americans who go to the games). The Pat's fan is a genuinely awesome girl I lived with at Uni, where as the Panther's fan constantly posts pro-gun or anti-immigrant statuses on Facebook, all of which are fucking stupid and make my blood boil, so that probably creates a bias for me against them. Seeing his reaction should they win it would probably be worse than seeing the cheaters prosper again.

    Cardinals or Broncos please....

    1. Cardinals
    2. Panthers
    3. Broncos
    4. Patriots.

    That's who I'd want to lift the trophy.

    If I wasn't a Denver fan I wouldn't want them to win either so it's quite fortunate that it's never going to happen for the antis. Even aside from the frothing that would go on over Manning I don't know that the team is particularly likeable anyway.

    I don't really mind most of the team, it's mainly just because of Manning. Plus it'll take a while for the John Fox effect to wear off.

    That and letting 'Pot Roast' go to the Redskins.



    Third best nose tackle around after Vince Wilfork (who went to a slightly more likeable team) and Brandon Williams.

    I quite like Denver's linebackers and secondary as well as Demaryius Thomas.

    There are quite a few really good players who are good to watch but nobody who I think I'd find especially likeable in comparison to other teams and a couple of bell-ends.

    Other than that they're not New England.

    Cards, Pats, Broncos & then the Panthers for me.

    Cardinals are the most fun to watch, and I've always liked the Patriots, then the Broncos & Panthers are both fine, but I don't really give a shit about either of them. Panthers last just because I don't want to have to see Cam Newton dance every dance ever danced before running fifty laps around the stadium, waving to the crowd with a smug grin on his face.

    Yep, during the Buccaneers game in week 17 who had just failed on a 4th down.

    Whilst it was happening Derek Anderson and whoever the fuck wasn't in front of the camera were taking a couple of knees.

    They also did it against the Falcons in week 14.





    Such dicks.

    Is the correct answer. Fuck this Peyton fairytale NARRATIVE.

    I'm on the Cardinals bandwagon though, Arians is a really likeable chap. As is Larry Fitz.

    I'd quite like to see Manning win it (for the seethe), preferably with a 40 yard running TD in the last second. Can't beat a bit of running Peyton. Obviously, for him to make 40 yards the entire defense would have to suffer some mass, simultaneous death incident.

    I'd just like to avoid seeing them take Manning out back and shot which looks increasingly likely with each week.

    News of the day is that the Browns have all but confirmed that they'll be taking a QB in the draft. The circle of life is complete.

    Problem for them is that the Titans have the only pick ahead of them and they're more than willing to trade it, as they probably have their FRANCHISE QB. As it stands now the Browns look likely to take Jared Goff. If any team wants to take him instead, you'd imagine the Titans will be getting some quality on the O-Line at the very least.

    Elsewhere, Lacy has been told to cut his weight.

    I'm stunned that the Packers let it get this far and only came out and said it's an issue after their season has finished.

    Lacy looked more like a nose tackle this year.

    The Packers are also ending the Clay Matthews middle linebacker experiment as he's been shit there all year.

    Any other QB and they'd already be in for a score by the time he panned back.

    Aye. The best bit about it is that even with half the field empty you still aren't sure he's going to make it. And that it was against the cowboys, natch.

    I'm fairly certain that in the old board's thread the response was a lot of amusement at the run. I'd say that'd be one worth busting out again, to be honest. In the Championship game or the Super Bowl if Denver should find a way past New England. Obviously give him orders to fucking get rid of it and take the incompletion if the defense don't bite (because if he's caught in the open field he's getting wiped out) but it's the sort of daft thing that could work a treat in the right situation.

    Doubt they'd risk breaking him further though.

    I'm imagining they were trying to keep his morale up. Or they must have thought Starks wasn't a good enough replacement. He had a break away run in the Cardinals game that really highlighted it. He just looked far too bulky and probably would have had a TD had he been a little faster.
    It'll be interesting to see what kind of shape he turns up in, in August.

    Matthews was great inside this year, he just doesn't get the stat lines there that he did on the outside and is largely wasted. They needed it though.

    Tickets for the games went on sale today and the work lot have given the money to one of the guys who went on to buy them today. There are 6 of us going, but he's just messaged me telling me he's only managed to get a set of 3 together, then 2 together and then 1 off by itself.

    I can see me being the one off by himself.

    Ideally I'd like to have gone to all 3, but it's payday next week so money was a bit thin. I could only afford the one so we've gone for Giants @ Rams. Beckham and Gurley to good to pass up(watch both get injured).

    If I get any spare money I'll go to the Colts @ Jags. But that's not looking likely right now.

    Anybody watching the East/West Shrine game?

    Turned on about 10-15mins ago, and it's pretty one-sided coming to half-time. Vernon Adams has looked pretty handy for the East. Would've been nice to have seen Keenan Reynolds out there too, as he sounds like an interesting option.

    Stave just got picked off by his own college teammate

    EDIT: Excellent interception from Fejedelem there. Sounds like this has been a pickfest - missed at least two before i started watching.

    "I've been 5' 11" my whole life" - Vernon Adams is a smart kid...Add another one to the pick list too.

    This could well be a bloodbath.

    The Pats D should shuffle old man Peyton away easily and Brady will just keep finding Gronk.

    You surely have to have some self respect when you can't throw the ball further than 15yds with any accuracy?

    The Broncos offensive line is where it'll be won and lost. Not just in terms of keeping Manning clean because that doesn't mean he won't balls up more than a few throws today, but because there needs to be a running game for the passing game to have a chance.
