Man why would you do that

Cause that's my ultimate shoulda woulda coulda moment. Like. I loathe him for that for that drop. Smh.

Sigh. What coulda been.

Chargers are winning the AFC

it's the internet, and especially here I wouldn't take anything personally. Don't know why you thought I took it that way.

I'm just saying who would you believe: the guy who is in the locker room with RG3 everyday and is in the locker right next to him or a journalist who has a hatred for the ******** and everything they're about? If London would've backed up Jenkins' story I'd believe him as well.

Also (like it was pointed out), if there was such a divide, his teammates wouldn't have voted him captain. Simple as that.

The panthers may have an issue with Flair but NC loves him from everything I've seen and experienced

well North carolina is "flair county"... However, these death threats he received have me shaking my head.

 

[keel252]

I'm born and raised in NC and I don't give a damn about him and I don't know anybody who does. Must be a Charlotte metro area thing.


But those fans are corny for that nonsense.

You're the same guy that said the Skins would do NO worse than 11-5 this year "trust me". Champ as far as I'm concerned you are officially unqualified to talk about any and all Diplomats matters going forward until further notice, is that understood??

so devoid of logic, and then to think you're an authority figure

wait why did he receive death threats?

my buddy works at a casino in King of Prussia out here and Ric Flair was there for an autograph signing; he was so drunk at night that he was falling over and he crapped his pants

This makes me want to dig up that "Packers fans sitting in the cold supporting their team" post from last week.

• Since winning the Super Bowl, the Packers are 1-3 in their previous four playoff games.
• It might take a few years for that defense to drastically improve.
• Their offensive line was as bad as any of the playoff teams.
• Aaron Rodgers will turn 31 during next year's season.

You can never count Aaron Rodgers out, but is there a chance we might have already seen his last Super Bowl win?

FYI. I've documented a couple of times on here what legacy I believe he could leave.

Always a chance. Nothing is handed out or gauranteed.

I think he's been receiving a pass for his recent playoff losses since that SB because he won that Super Bowl so soon after taking over for Favre. He also won an MVP in there. He starts to suffer a gap like Brady has and he probably starts to get more scrutiny. He already seems to be molding into a somewhat villian-type character.

As far as him not being on the level of Peyton and Brady....Bologne. Rodgers is every bit as good, if not better than those two from strictly a quarterback-playing standpoint. It all just goes back to the team around him and his own unique circumstances.

 

[100027]

Rodgers gets a pass because the Packers team hasn't been all that great lately.  They haven't had anything near a complete team since winning the Super Bowl.

Lots of fingers to be pointed at Mike McCarthy, Dom Capers, and even Ted Thompson before Rodgers.

Not to mention the Clay Matthews of the world.

Garçon also said he doesn’t believe that Griffin, who was benched the final three games, had become too close to owner Dan Snyder or, perhaps, too full of himself, as some recent reports have suggested.

“It’s not reality,” he said. “But quarterbacks on any team have a little more power than anybody else in the locker room. They are the quarterback. They are the coach that’s on the field. They have the franchise in their hand every play."

Welp....

Merril Hoge just said the panthers/niners LB matchup may be the best one he's ever seen in football. :x

As I said earlier............

Just like in any situation, I do believe that the truth will eventually rise to the top, especially regarding this matter and who was on the right side and who wasn't.

I can't remember anything recently where two teams had such great LB's having their teams face eachother in the playoffs. In fact, there's seldomly more than one team that has such a great and complete group of LB's, let alone two teams.

 

[stillin729]

I wish they each got a chance to tackle Hoge off the Grand Canyon

I am not downplaying the Panthers LB corps in the slightest bit....but their group as a whole definitely is not in the same league as the Niners.

 

[dland24]

Tell me I'm wrong then. 

 

[stillin729]

Bowman...Linebacker U

 

[651akathepaul]

I don't think so either dland, but it's still one of the best "matchups" you'll find right now. I think as whole the front 7's is where it becomes much more interesting.

 

[dland24]

best front 7 vs. 2nd best front 7

I can get behind that.

Packers have been eliminated so LTB is back to being a Chargers fan.

the link works, when you click it change all the ******* to "red skins" in the address bar. because NT screens out that word, you can't put it in links either.



in rodgers 9 playoff games, i can only really look at 1 and say he played terrible, and they happened to win that game

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Didn't that interception against Arizona cost them the game?
