The problem with that is that the #9 team will be bitching nonstop now.

And no. 10, 11, 12 . . . . I don't think that system would work either, but it's more likely we see something like that than a legitimate playoff system.  Unfortunately.

You mean getting to the NFC Championship game with arguably the worst set of WRs in the NFL wasn't good enough? 

theres been a game here or there that grossman looked good, heck even a game here or there that Romo looked good.

Whoop dee doo, vick had a nice run ONCE in the playoffs, other than that he has been a complete joke as an NFL qb.

Classic overstatement.  First, his WRs have been Larry, Moe, and Curley for pretty much his entire career.  Second, he has some of the most impressive seasons, passing/rushing, in NFL history.  Third, he wins.  (Fairly certain he has a winning record as a starter).  Fourth, he has made the Pro Bowl three times.

Tom Brady has never had anything better then second rate receivers compared to guys like Payton and Carson, who have some of the best receivers ever to throw to. Yet Tom led the league in passing last year with a 90+ rating, is 11-1 postseason, 3 rings, 2 time sb mvp and a five time division champion. lead his team to the postseason five of six years etc, etc.

Brady is one of the greatest qb's to ever live. He never has had big weapon receivers. Vick made some great plays this year tho.

Btw, I am not taking anything away from Carson and Payton. They are incredable qb's But, the reciever excuse is played out. You give Brady Marvin and Chad and see what happens. But no one ever brings that up when discussing how great qb's are.

Bullshit. Two words, Deion Branch. Don't give me that shit about second rate recievers. They fit into that system perfectly.

I agree that Brady is a great QB.  In fact, not only do I think he's the best QB in the NFL, I think he's the best playoff QB since Montana.  That said, he has had good WRs.  Branch is very good.  Troy Brown is good.  Consistent.  Givens can play.  Patten can play.  They have like 5 TEs who can catch the ball.  They aren't Harrison/Wayne/Clark, but not Roddy White/Michael Jenkins/Brian Finneran either.

Deion Branch was no where near a Harrison or a Smith, not even close. Branch was one of my favorite players. Brady has never had a true "top guy" to throw to. That was my point. I agree, Dion was a perfect fit for this system. But, you toss Steve Smith in his place and there is much, much more production.


If you check out the post I called Branch second tier against guys like Johnson, Smith and Wayne. Basically the top 20 guys. I never said he was not good. But, he has never been a "top" receiver. That is part of the reason payton is a statistical Juggernaut. The guy is a fantastic player flanked by fantastic receivers. Some of the best recievers ever.


This is from 2005, when Brady led the league with over 4000 yards passing.Branch was listed at 21. This was the only time in the 6 years he was in the top 30.

I think he likes the power back like michael bush..btw you think he is comming out.

and im a saints fan too....all the way baby..

I was thinking that too about Michael Bush, and yes he has already declared that he is entering the 2007 NFL draft. Look at how Jacobs from the giants is almost like a guaranteed lock for a TD in goal line situations. Plus he's got some moves and decent speed at 6'3 250 (talking about bush).

Brady is 13 - 4 with a bunch of rookies and nobodys, In the afc.  Brown is the only guy still left. Caldwell has mirror numbers to Dion tho. You make good points.

Man I miss the team we had last year, or two years ago, Mike Nugent, Justin Zwick, AJ Hawk, Bobby Carpenter... those were good days. To be perfectly honest, I didn't like the current team much all season, in spite of their winnings...

First thing Petrino should do is trade Vick immediately and get Schaub back under center.  I sonder how many girls in NFL cities have caught herpes from mike vick?

I think Schaub is a perfect fit for Patrino's offensive philosophy and would actually probably be the better selection in this case.

No, I've been saying that all along, since September, that this current team isn't all that in my view. People told me to stfu when they were winning the preseason and big ten games...

Zwick... yeah I know, it's mostly an emotional thing with missing the old team. AJ Hawk, now there's a football player!!!

And now the Miami Hurricanes are nothing more than a memory in college football.  The swagger is gone and now miami will never be heard from again in major college football.  They are simply a pathetic excuse for a football program.  My fave game of all time is when they came in chanting to alabama before the sugar bowl 'you wish you were a national champion'

then 3 hours later we were NATIONAL CHAMPS for the 12th time after bitchslapping the pathetic canes around the field 34-13

but alas, miami is simply a footnote in college football.  they had a nice decade run but never to be heard from again.  bye bye miami.

I was thinking WV because they wont have Louisville or Rutgers balling like last season. But USC has depth...they will kick major ass in 07
