I LOVE THAT STEELERS GIF THAT IS AWESOME.
Anyways, even though I'm kinda sorta co-running the club with him, I'll just put in my info right here haha. Who is your favorite NFL team? Pittsburgh Steelers. Been a fan of them since 2005, when Jerome Bettis retired. Who is your favorite NFL player? I have a TON. I wanna say Tim Tebow, but he's no longer in the NFL sooo. :( But I do like Troy Polamalu, Percy Harvin, Eli Manning, Shareece Wright, Markice Pouncey, and Ben Rothlisberger. Who would you like to see in next year's Super Bowl? Winner? Hmmm this is a toughie. I'll agree with the above, Saints could use another title this season, Drew Brees has gotten better and better. |
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Minnesota Vikings. Gotta represent the hometown! Who is your favorite NFL player Right now? Probably Adrian Peterson. I've always respected Brett Favre, though, even when he was playing for the evil Packers. Randy Moss was fun to watch and was utterly ridiculous - by far my favorite memories of him were his mooning of Packer fans at Lambeau (mocking the constant mooning Packers fans did and probably still do toward the Vikings team bus when it arrives and departs from Lambeau) and his "Straight cash, homie." reaction to the fine he received for that mooning. Jared Allen has a great gif of him throwing a football circulating. Who would you like to see in next year's Super Bowl? Winner? Minnesota vs. Indy, with Minnesota winning. Can you tell I have a huge bias? :P |
Minerva and donavannj, welcome to the NFL Gridiron Club!!
Minerva I didn't know you were a Steelers fan?! That must have been heartwrenching to watch, that is that last game of the season where they had a chance to win it and make the playoffs. I remember watching that game; I was rooting for them. donavannj that's fine that you're being biased! So am I with my pick haha (; I think the Colts definitely do have a shot though in making a Super Bowl push. Their team is very talented (don't really understand the Trent Richardson trade mid way through the season) and with Brady and Manning enter their twilight years (even though those teams will always have a shot with them in the huddle) eventually their time will come in. It's too bad about the Viking though. They need to figure out their issue at the QB position. I don't want to see AP become the next Larry Fitgerald and see his best years get wasted because they don't have a solid QB. Even though I am from Massachusetts and might sound biased by saying this, I do hope that Matt Cassell gets the starting job. It just stinks that he has been so concussion prone over the last few seasons. |
Matt Cassell didn't look very good here last season. He wasn't awful, but he wasn't great, either. The real problems for this team are overwhelmingly on the defensive side of the ball, though.

The page that introduced me to it: http://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/the-nfc-north/ And I heard this morning that it was confirmed that the Niners and Browns were actually in talks to trade coach Jim Harbaugh to Cleveland for draft picks?! I guess Harbaugh and his bosses really don't get along! |
Favorite Team:
Well, I was born in raised in Jacksonville, so sadly yes, I am a Jacksonville Jaguar fan. Favorite Players: I love Cecil Shorts III, as I feel he is a play maker. Percy Harvin was always awesome for the gators so mad respect for him. And Marshawn Lynch is a complete beast. I had him in Fantasy Football this year and he was so consistent. 2015 Super Bowl: I'd like to say the Jaguars, but not even I can think that will happen. I'm gonna go with the Colts since they are getting better and better and I'll go with a round 2 with the Seahawks. However, I feel like the Colts will pull out the win. |
Missed the last club- better jump into this one before I forget about it.
Who is your favorite NFL team? The Kansas City Chiefs. I've got no idea how that happened, since I live in Seahawks territory and my dad's a Saints fan as well, but I've been cheering for them longer than I can remember. Who is your favorite NFL player? I don't know if I have one favorite player right now, though I made it a point to get Derrick Johnson on my first Chiefs jersey last year. If I had to go all-time, I'd say Tony Gonzalez, which is why it was bittersweet to see him retire this offseason, even if it was with the Falcons. Who would you like to see in next year's Super Bowl? Winner? It might be biased sure, but the Chiefs haven't been to the Super Bowl in 45 years, and could surely use another one. If I wasn't so scared of losing to a team like the Saints or the Seahawks, I'd like to play them, but I'll just go with the Dallas Cowboys. Any chance to make Tony Romo look bad is a thumbs up in my books. |
River Ramirez and Jamais, welcome to the NFL Gridiron Football Club!!!
A Jaguars fan huh? Those are pretty rare nowadays. I saw a bunch of pictures of Jaguar home games this year, not looking too good /: What did you think about that whole fiasco that happened with the Jaguar fans trying to bring Tim Tebow to Jacksonville? Were you a fan of that? And the Chiefs! That was a really disappointing loss by them in the first round of the playoffs against the Colts. I was shocked by that, I thought the game was over at halftime. Turned out to be one hell of a game. Do you think that Alex Smith can bring the Lombardi to Kansas City, or do you think the team is relying too heavily on it's defense? And Candy Cane Forest Elf, that comic was hilarious! Maybe I'll put a link to it on the introduction page and update it every time they release a new comic. That would be fun in my opinion (: I'm also shocked to hear that between the 49ers-Browns. That's really surprising considering he's brought them to the NFC championship three years in a row. I wonder what's going on. |
Quote:
But yeah, I'm pretty much disappointed...but you gotta look at the whole season in retrospective. They sucked the first few games and hadn't shown any progress until the last few games of the regular season. They had one job: they have to beat the Browns, and they have to pray for the Chiefs to win...which that didn't happen. Also, yes...very rare to see Jaguars fans 'round here. You know who I haven't met before? Someone who likes the Texans. |
Quote:
Don't even get me started on the Texans. They were probably the biggest surprise flop this season, next to the Falcons. I actually felt really bad for Matt Schaub; I couldn't believe that fans were actually going to his house and heckling him for his bad performances. That's just sad. |
Quote:
But yeah, it's hard being a Jaguar fan since we are the most underwatched team in the NFL, however I think we started to do better at the end of the year and we had some key players hurt, so hopefully we can have a good draft and maybe bounce back up there. But meh. We never do. |

As far as Alex Smith goes, I've always considered him one of the smartest QBs in the league, though not necessarily one of the best ones. He rarely throws interceptions, and he's been taking to the air a lot more now than he did in San Francisco (I believe he had career highs in both completions and TDs). Still, we're a run dominant team, so as long as he has similar outputs to last year, I think we'll be fine. |
I think Alex Smith is far better than most people realize, though people are probably going to be slow to give him credit because he was a project and then a "bust" for the first several years of his career.

Quite honestly, I find that amusing. :P But I'm still bitter about the 2009 postseason, so I'm obviously going to find the Saints suffering amusing. I was actually rooting for the Cardinals to get the last postseason spot over the Saints this past season.
But, yeah, that just underscores how underrated Alex Smith is. |
Quote:
Which by the way, don't even get me started on how confused and upset I was with that last play of that NO-SEA playoff game where Marques Colston tried to lateral it all the way across the field. They should have just bombed it down the field, you've got two of the tallest players on your side (i.e. Colston and Graham) |
I must say, leading up to this year's Super Bowl, the Seahawks have tried so hard to get to where they want to. I must give credit to the defense, and Percy Harvin.
Quote:
lol i used to root for the falcons...before michael vick's dogfighting crime was unveiled and that became a turn off. |
Percy Harvin? He didn't really do much of anything for Seattle in his lone season there so far. Did you mean someone else? Percy's 2013 Stats.
Quote:
That lateral was designed. They were trying mix things up a bit. With Seattle's physically tall shutdown corners, going deep would not have worked. |
Quote:
Percy Harvin is a trooper, but he's going to be really messed up in the long run. Yeah he played in the Super Bowl but I don't think he ever fully recovered from those concussions. He's going to have some serious issues when his career is done. |
Well, go ask your coordinator and your head coach why they thought it was a good idea.
|
I wish I could D:
What do you guys think of the playoff format of the NFL? Do you think they should expand the number of teams that get in? Personally, I think they should set up the playoffs like the NBA where it's the 6 best overall conference teams that make it, not the 2 wild card set up (i.e. if you are 15-1 and you finish second in your division, you shouldn't get the wild card spot but rather the #2 seed) |
