If they can get the offense to match the potency of the defense, then look out NFL! I think Carolina is finally ready to make a good run for the Lombardi Trophy. I'm very impressed at the fact that over the last 20 regular season games, they are 16-4. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging, but as a Carolina fan I usually don't get to do that much. {XD}

I agree, their defense was pretty dang good this year, with Kuechly and others putting in work. Receivers are an area of improvement like you said. Steve Smith is good but he's a little short and getting up there in age. I've never been a huge fan of Ginn, but he did have his moments this year and he returns kicks well, and there was another receiver they had whose name escapes me who did well. Add a tall, deep threat and don't get worse elsewhere and they're good for the future.

EDIT: Receiver I forgot = Brandon LaFell.

I want to step aside from the super bowl talk and talk about something that...I'm curious to read what everyone thinks of a certain subject.



Remember Tim Tebow? Yeah. I do pretty well. Just now he's been pretty busy while he awaits for a team to pick him up so he can play football. But lately he's been in commercials, appearing on ESPN analyzing college football, and much more. Honestly, I miss him playing football. He was really good back then, but I understand *why* everyone doesn't like him, because he's a hardcore religious person and all, but why does that need to get in the way of football?

Would anyone like to see him back in the NFL? Why or why not?

Wicked3DS January 31st, 2014 8:49 PM

It really wasn't about him talking about his faith. He wasn't doing well as an NFL QB. He wants to be in the NFL, but he hasn't shown that he has the ability to run an offense or throw accurately. He was okay in Denver that one year, but they were never going to win a Super Bowl with him at the helm.

Meganium February 2nd, 2014 4:28 PM

Yeah, I understand. It's going to take A LOT for him to be at the same level as many QBs like Romo, Sanchez, and even the Mannings at that manner.

Also, I just got back from work. Anyone watching/following the Super Bowl right now? I heard the Broncos are doing a poor job right now and that is baaaaaaaaad imo. D:

Seeing peyton manning pout on the bench makes my life a little less tragic

Meganium February 2nd, 2014 8:05 PM

I have no idea why they were playing the way they played tonight. They had so much potential and now they threw their chances away. I'm kinda happy Seattle won and they finally obtained their title, but Denver should have played better.

On the plus side, Seattle's defense pretty much dominated the whole game. They were even capable of tackling what was supposed to be the #1 offense.

LuminescentUmbreon February 3rd, 2014 8:57 AM

Wow, I don't even know what to say about last night. It looked like Denver gave up once the Seahawks got close to 30 points. Like I said, I don't even know what to say. Whelp, off to the off season now, can't wait to see what David Gettleman can do with the Panther's weaknesses to get them to the level of the 'Hawks. In the meantime, NASCAR starts back up on the 23rd so it'll keep me distracted til August. :P

Meganium February 3rd, 2014 11:03 PM

Haha, yes. To the off season we shall go! But hey, NFL DRAFT COMING SOON IN MAY. This article just came out of my feed and I find it interesting, it's about the full draft order and what to expect in May. Unsurprisingly, the Texans will be starting first in Round 1.

Bestintheworld February 9th, 2014 9:41 AM

What a horrible and cringeworthy Super Bowl to watch.



What do you guys think about potential draftee Michael Sam coming out as gay before the draft? Will it hurt or help him? What do you think will come of it?


I for on applaud his courage, but on the other hand, straight men are not allowed in women's locker rooms for obvious reasons. If I was in a gay man locker room getting changed and being naked I wouldn't feel comfortable the same way a woman wouldn't feel comfortable.

Meganium February 21st, 2014 5:12 PM

That should never interfere with his passion to play football. I think he should stay. I understand what others are coming from with this issue but if he doesn't get drafted just because of his sexuality, then I call bullcrap to be quite honest. It's unfair.

I'll be proud of him if he does get drafted.

Also, to keep NFL discussion going, there's a lot of NFL players who are going to free agency next month, so they'll be scouting for teams who are hungry for players like them. Here's a blog entry for more information regarding that. Discuss!~

El Héroe Oscuro February 23rd, 2014 8:11 PM

As a New Orleans Saints fan, I am just nervous that Jimmy Graham doesn't test free agency. Drew Brees' contract is eating up on a lot of their team's salary and I hope it doesn't hinder their chances to keep him. They'll probably end up franchise tagging him, but I'm hoping for more of a long term deal. Hopefully Brees will restructure his contract because without Graham it will be tough for them to contend with the Seahawks.

Nobody bring up the playoffs against the Hawks, I'm still bitter about it

If I'm reading that blog right, it seems the Vikings are getting rid of Jared Allen. I'll miss his personality. :(

Though it's probably the best move for them given the salary he's likely to be looking for.

Also, joining up to this club because this looks like it has the best chance of survival over the many failed NFL Discussion threads that have happened over in C&M over the years.

Meganium February 24th, 2014 12:10 AM

Our plan is to keep it alive during this dreadful off season. A lot of things are going to happen during then, so we'll do our best!~

Welcome btw, Dondon. :D

4. Off the Mark: If the Jets decide they want to retain Mark Sanchez (unlikely), they will try to get him to swallow a massive pay cut. The amount of their proposal will tell Sanchez just how much they really want him. If they try to slash his base pay from $9 million to $1 million, it would be insulting, a strong indication he'd have no chance to unseat Smith. If they offer in the $3 million-to-$5 million range, with a chance to make more money with incentives, it would show they consider him a viable starting option.
^So what will it be, Sanchez or Smith? Time's a tickin', Jets. I think it's not worth staying and take the massive cut.

I agree. Sanchez nor Smith are viable options for the Jets as a starting quarterback. I think Smith is better than Sanchez (barely) *cough* butt fumble *cough* but if they want to ever make a playoff push I don't think either will get you there.

Speaking of which, do you think that the Jets will try to trade up at all during the draft? Rex Ryan must still be in the hot seat for the dismal performances of his quarterbacks, and I think he'd do anything to try to save his job. Or do you think there are any quarterbacks that they might go for in FA?

Bestintheworld February 24th, 2014 11:47 AM

Jets are in a tough spot, I wouldn't move up in this draft for a qb I'm not sold on any of them. Nor do I see any of them as a "franchise" type qb. The only decent qbs that might end up free agents are Vick and schaub and both had less than memorable seasons last year.

I'm glad to see all the females in here ;), didn't know so much ladies were into football here

El Héroe Oscuro February 24th, 2014 2:22 PM

Do y'all think the Vikings should be worried about Adrian Peterson? I mean he had the ACL tear, and now he's having a groin surgery; is he becoming too injury prone?

And they seriously need to figure out who the flippity flop is going to be starting at QB this year, my god....

Smith is probably the best choice at this point due to Sanchez having a go for 4 full seasons already. We'll see where they are in a few years, though.

They might, but it's not a very good class for quarterbacks. Manziel is not worth it.

I'll be worried about All Day when an injury actually prevents him from playing significantly in the regular season. Or if his production drops off dramatically. Whichever happens first. Honestly, I'm hoping he's as durable as a Curtis Martin type running back, but most RBs these days don't have much production past 30.

Well, there's not going to be many options this offseason, and I'm not buying into the Manziel hype at all. :(

Meganium February 24th, 2014 6:33 PM

Before I start posting in regards to the above, I wanted to let you guys know that this club currently has no owner and is in need of one like... right now. I'd go ahead and claim it, but I wanted to ask all of you members if anyone's interested in taking over the group. If you are interested in taking over, you can go ahead and send me a VM or PM and we'll work things out. I'll give you peeps a few days to decide. B)

Smith is barely a rookie. I think the Jets should keep the guy for one more season and see how things go. Hopefully for the better. Sanchez can just...go somewhere else. xD

Peterson has had a very tough season both on and off the field. I don't even know how he's going to start once this season rolls around. He really needs to take it easy.

Meganium February 24th, 2014 7:41 PM
