― El Tomboto, Saturday, 29 December 2007 01:55 (seventeen years ago)
i'm tempted to go out on a limb and predict entire playoff results but i think it's bad karma maybe?
― daria-g, Saturday, 29 December 2007 02:11 (seventeen years ago)
i'll save you the trouble: the pats win it all.

But how many interceptions does Eli throw? How badly injured will Jacobs be by games end? How little effort will Coughlin put into this? SO MANY QUESTIONS
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 December 2007 03:35 (seventeen years ago)
Oh, you meant the playoffs. Yeah, no; that's kinda looking over.
coughlin will not play the starters much, he's still coaching for his job and if someone important gets hurt before the playoffs he's D-O-N-E.
― chicago kevin, Saturday, 29 December 2007 03:45 (seventeen years ago)
I dunno the Colts did prove (before their injuries, granted) that they could beat the Patriots, they just collapsed with 4-5 minutes left.
If they actually finish next time (granted it will be on the road if it happens at all), it's theirs.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 29 December 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago)
the colts are real - but its gonna take more in foxboro - and well just see if the refs are on their nuts again

much as the Jags annoy me (mostly cuz we don't NEED a third professional team in Florida), they do have the tools to beat the Patsies. They're almost a 70s style team in some ways.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago)
I think that maybe the Jags are my second-favorite team in the NFL. I just kinda love everything about them except for Jack Del Rio.
― polyphonic, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:58 (seventeen years ago)
they'd be more talked about if they weren't one of the least popular teams in the NFL (mostly due to being in a bad market).
Jack took an extremely bad Jags team and built them into a consistent winner with a tough defense.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 29 December 2007 22:13 (seventeen years ago)
drudge's obsession w/the pats perfect season makes me love him even more
― jhøshea, Saturday, 29 December 2007 23:29 (seventeen years ago)
thanks! I just checked Drudge headlines myself
― daria-g, Sunday, 30 December 2007 00:24 (seventeen years ago)
I dunno the Colts did prove (before their injuries, granted) that they could beat the Patriots,
no, they proved they could COMPETE with the pats. when they change the rules to suit the colts (AGAIN) and make the game 54 minutes long maybe things will be different.
― chicago kevin, Sunday, 30 December 2007 01:02 (seventeen years ago)
ehh, i look at it more as the pats proving they could compete with the colts. tbh a playoff game against indy, even in foxboro, still scares me. they ARE freeneyless, but they will also have marv-dogg back.
the jags aint SHIT. i mean, they are shit. bullshit. FUCK THE JAGS AND FUK U
― cankles, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:35 (seventeen years ago)
i am so furious for no reason right now
Actually, this statement is flat out wrong. The rules were not changed--the contact rules were already on the books, but they decided to place a greater emphasis on them.
And I don't think you have much room to complain. The Colts had plenty of reason to be upset after that playoff game in question. The Patriots got away with murder in that game.
It wasn't the bullshit ticky-tack pass interference calls we're seeing today as a result of the rule re-emphasis. The Patriot secondary was clawing and hanging onto Colt receivers. The non-calls were absolutely ridiculous in that game.
Why is it that Patriot fans always seem to neglect that the Colt complaints were based in truth? Granted, the way the NFL decided to deal with it is shitty, as I can't stand the ticky tack shit that gets flagged, but that was a horribly officiated game.
(Note that I'm not saying that's why the Colts lost the game, but merely that there were many questionable non-calls in it.)
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:38 (seventeen years ago)
Emm, these aren't the Jags that folded like an accordion in the 2005 playoffs.
They have a behemoth running game and a physical defense. They certainly can beat the Patriots if their offensive line dictates the game and the defense can get some stops.
The problem with the Jags, though, is that the question becomes can they score enough points to win if their defense doesn't get the stops. Their offense was pretty potent in the latter half of the season, however. It's just not the type you want in a shootout affair.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:42 (seventeen years ago)
the jags AREN'T AS GOOD AS THE COLTS. their defense isn't as good, their offense isn't as good. they lost to them twice this year. they're a good, competetive team, but it's ridic how everyone's glomming onto them as the ~*~*~ultimate favz~*~*~
― cankles, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:48 (seventeen years ago)
You're going to have to provide me a link or two to show me where anybody has been saying the Jags are the favorite to do anything.
Is it a crime to call an 11-4 team a good team?
Furthermore, it is perfectly possible for a team to be better suited to beat one type of team than another. The argument "X beat them twice, and Y is better than X, ergo they stand no chance" is a fallacy, especially in the fickle game of football.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:51 (seventeen years ago)
nigga u gonna have 2 tell me where i supplied that formula, i never said SQUID like dat~
the colts do the same things as the jags tho, except better - they run the ball better, stop the run better and they control both lines of scrimmage more effectively. i'm just saying that they match up even better than jax (who do seem like they should be a good cold weather team, ie. they can be competetive in foxboro)
― cankles, Sunday, 30 December 2007 04:59 (seventeen years ago)
I don't know that the Colts stop the run better than the Jags. Pass defense is more their strong suit.
I do agree that the Colts have a 'better' chance of beating the Patsies than the Jags, but I was merely saying I think the Jags could theoretically beat them.
Then again, anybody could 'theoretically' beat them but until someone plays all four quarters against the Patriots, I'll be bitching and moaning while Boston has another ticker tape parade.

^^the jax run D has been pretty underwhelming this year, while the colts' has been better than you'd expect - partly bob sanders, partly this rookie tackle (whose name i forget) for indy who's been playing really well.
more importantly, the colts dominated both lines of scrimmage in their last... 4 meetings with NE.
― cankles, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:15 (seventeen years ago)
YAY PATZ CONGRATS HOMIES 3 MORE TO GO AWZ 3 RECORDS BROKE ON 1 PLAY AND MOSS TOOK THE BALL EVERYTHING IS ZONE NOW !!!!!!!!
― jhøshea, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:30 (seventeen years ago)
I don't know much about that stat system yet--I'll do the reading on the website. I'm not the biggest fan of custom formulas though because often their creators get angry when people don't accept them as the definitive method of analyzing statistics.
(Not discounting it yet, just have to read up on it).
also I didn't see it above but I don't agree that the Jags don't run the ball as well as the Colts. I think they're a far better rushing team, but their passing game isn't as strong so they have to rely on it too much. Taylor/Jones-Drew is a tough one two punch.
Addai is the real deal though.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:31 (seventeen years ago)
i gotta agree w/canky here indy is by far the 2nd best team - theyre much closer to the pats than the jags are to them - still the jags are plenty good enough to take a game
― jhøshea, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:32 (seventeen years ago)
for the record, I too agree that the Colts have a better chance, I was merely stating the Jags too could possibly beat the Patsies.
Because other than that, I'm not sure who else could. the Cowboys were playing well and then fell apart against them and I'm not sure it wouldn't happen again in a SB matchup.
As far as the other teams in the AFC besides the Colts and Jags, hahahaha. I'm mad I ever believed in Pittsburgh.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:34 (seventeen years ago)
lol yeah, that pretty much sums up that site. i like their stats for assessing overall team play on that site tho... less so for evaluating individual players.
the thing abt indy/jax is they're also really different KINDS of running teams. the jax offense, in general, is one that uh isn't a big fan of scheming up. they can only beat you one way, physically. indy's running game probably benefits from never having to face eight-man fronts, but that's probably the case with jax this year too, since garrard is capable making defenses pay when they stack the box.
there's only one formula for jax-ne: they'd have to play error-free, win the turnover margin and limit the pats to about eight possessions. no more. they're good at pressuring up middle, collapsing the pocket, and maybe they can make it a 17-14 game. the problem is that NE pretty much falls outta bed and scores 24 points, and jville just isn't built to go up & down the field and score points with this team.
― cankles, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:43 (seventeen years ago)
well that's what I meant when I said I'm not sure Jax is the type of team that could win if they couldn't get the stops against New England. They definitely don't have a shootout style offense that could trade touchdowns with the Patsies. They'd really have to control the clock.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 30 December 2007 05:49 (seventeen years ago)
also, jax have trouble defending in nickel situations, which is exactly what ne will put them in~
