16-0 not a historical achievement according to Bill Polian

[cyclone24 1,914]

How does this argument hold water? Manning could have been hurt in the time that he played just as easily as he could have had he been left in the game. It doesn't matter, the Colts will be ousted from the playoffs and Colts fans will be left wondering (yet again) if sitting their stars made a difference. :popcorn:

 

 

You may be right...but it wont have anything to do with playing or not playing them.

 

And to the arguement....obviously more time played...the more opportunity for injury. And i know...he could get hurt getting off the bus....but limiting the chances of getting hurt is what the club is looking to do.

[PATSSOX 22]

Yeah, most Patriots fans agree with you.

 

and what about the fact that other teams also do or did what the Patriots did They just dont have a pissy little whinny fat bastard of an ex-coach like Magnini who would tell on them

Blame the person who blew the whistle. Classic! Let's forget about the fact that they cheated for God-knows how long and benefitted who-knows how much. Instead, let's do what four year-olds do and call someone a tattletale. CLASSIC!!!!

so as long as you dont get caught its OK than right Your beloved Eagles probably did the same dam thing and may still do the same thing but no one has told on them so its OK i guess

"Your honor...i know i was positively identified holding the gun who shot the victim....however....the person who ratted me out probably did the same thing and just hasnt been told on.....so you should probably throw him in jail too"

 

Lemme know how that works out....

Now it's "everyone else is probably doing it, too".

 

You're pulling out all teh stops my daughter used to when she was little.

[redtodd 7]

That just makes the SB loss more embarrassing.

 

I love when others try to call it "embarrassing."

 

If the same thing happened to the Eagles, it would be considered the greatest season in Eagles history.

 

I only make this Eagles reference because I know you are back on the bandwagon again now that they are ready for the playoff run.

[KSB2424 3,148]

The end game is the Superbowl. Would going 19-0 been cool? Of course. However if the team thought it was in the best interest to sit the starters I got no problem with it. It's not just Manning. What if Jeff Saturday gets rolled up? Wayne, Clark, Mathis, Freeney, ? I would have liked they went for the 19-0, but I think people are really making to much of what happened on Sunday.

Yeah, because I was Broncos fan when they were 6-0.

 

You sound more retarded everytime you make a post.

i said that long time ago and it was said when all that went down!!! DAM YOUR AN ASSCLOWN

[NewbieJr 541]

Yeah, it was said by excuse-makers like you and the other Patriots apologists.

I like what REDTODD said

so its only cheating if you get caught right??? please dont answer that and just go away

What does cheating have to do with my post about if the Eagles went 16-0 and lost in the Super Bowl it would be their greatest season EVAH.

 

You are so cute when you reach to make no sense.

[redtodd 7]

Agreed.

 

Enjoy the next month of being an Eagles fan again. You can go back to not caring about them when they get bumped again from the playoffs.

Me??? Dipshit was one who was saying all the crap about cheating He is just jealous cause the Eagles cant win crap

I was talking to Newbs: the part time Eagles Fan, full time Pats obsesser.

I've been an Eagles fan since Mike McCormick was coach and Roman Gabriel was quarterback.

 

Unlike you, who became a Patriots fan after the Tuck Rule game.

Did you just do the "I know you are, but what am I" defense? AWESOME!!!

Much cooler than the ghey quote manilpulation stunt you borrowed from 1997.

So you would rather go with the comeback from 1920?

[jaxjag 43]

Funny how you try to sum up their decade and forgot to mention the cheating scandal.

 

And if you think McNabb/Eagles losing a three-point game where they were underdogs going-in is a worse choke-job than being 18-0 and a double-digit favorite and losing to a wild card team with six losses, then you are more of a blind homer than I thought. That was the biggest choke-job in NFL history.

 

So you define choking as performance against the spread...

 

I define choking as letting your emotions/fear/nerves affect how you play the game. McNabb's performance is the definition of choking. Not just a cliche... the very definition of choking.

 

The Patriots lost a game, one that was well played by the Giants and really could have gone either way. Brady was in a boot the week prior to the game. Did he complain about it or hyperventilate in the huddle? Did they choke or just lose to a better team that day? Don't just throw around cliches; losing doesn't equate to choking.

 

Blind homer? Not exactly although Moss is on my fantasy team. Nice try though.

When your average margin of victory is greater than ten points per game in an undefeated season, and you're double-digit favorites over a wild card team in a game where your quarterback already has three rings and is facing a first-time participant, and you proceed to LOSE THE GAME, it is the very definition of choking.

 

McNabb losing to a team that knew when the Eagles were blitzing and what coverage they'd be in, and only bu three points, might just be his crowning achievement. They lost by a freakin' field goal to a team that was cheating. A few years later, we found out how good the Pats were when they didn't have that advantage.

 

Thanks for playing.

hey 'pyschobelichick' i mean 'newbiejr' or what ever the hell your name is give it up the Eagles couldnt win the Super Bowl even if they knew what plays the offense was running. You do realize that all NFL teams study tapes to see what they can pick up to tell them when their opponent is blitzing and they put players in motion to figure out what coverage the defense is in So if the Eagles do not know that than shame on them

Yeah, most teams just didn't cheat like the Pats and do it during half time of the game they are playing, so they could win.

please reword your response Most teams dont get caught like the Pats

[NewbieJr 541]

It's so sad to see you using that second-grade explanation. Pathetic. Is that what you tell your wife when you get caught cheating, too?

 

Last I checked, New England is the only team to lose a draft pick for cheating. Too bad, so sad.

[FeelingMN 273]

Most teams? How about NO TEAMS.....which makes sense since the Pats were probably the only ones audacious enough to be doing it......genius my ass.

If you look at what they were doing it was not like they were hiding what they were doing either. Since the Whinny Fat little Bastard told on them its not like the results are much different are they be honest now and dont just say some stupid sh!t to try and be funny.

 

2007-16-0 regular season only team to ever do and lost in Super Bowl

2008-11-5 Brady plays less than one quarter entire season and team still goes 11-5 and becomes first 11-5 team to miss playoffs

2009-10-5 Won AFC EAST again and finish in playoffs TBD

 

That is 37-10 over last 3 regular seasons and another SuperBowl appearance. Are you gonna seriously try and tell me that it made a HUGE difference

[jaxjag 43]

Thanks for playing.

 

Actually, isn't that what the NFL says to the Eagles every year?

 

Poor Donovan, vomiting in the huddle is his crowning achievement... so sad.

[Gepetto 1,372]

Is NewbieJr actually the original and his aliases include Pimptaddy, PsycoBill, BlueStarWreckinCrew, PurpleReign? Just a "fan" of a different team? Seriously, I can't tell any difference.

[redtodd 7]

Don't waste too much breath on the Eagles with Newbs. He is not really a fan vof them. He only cares about them when they are entering the playoffs.

 

He cares more about other teams than the team he occasionally roots for.

 

If you want an easy test, start two threads. One talking about the Patriots and the other talking about the Eagles. See which one he is a top poster in.

Yep. You start caring around week 15 when it looks like they will be in. Then you catapult off the bandwagon when the inevitable bouncing from the playoffs happen.

 

Any real fan talks more about their own team than others. HTH!

2007: Choke

2008: Easiest regular season schedule

2009: 1 Road win....at Buffalo

 

All said, 0 championships....seems like a huge difference to me...or maybe you chowda heads are just growing complacent.

 

[three out of four 0]

Actually, the NFL says the Colts won the most game this decade. And playoff games should count double? OMG, you are a bigger idiot than Polian!

 

 

You're right -let's not count such trivial things as POSTSEASON wins.

 

 

Colts have most REGULAR season wins this decade.

 

Colts have most one-and-dones in the playoffs this decade.

 

Colts have the most one-and-dones in the playoffs in ANY decade.

I hear where you're going, but the argument is worthless. It was past the halfway mark of the third quarter and the Colts were leading 15-10 in a tight game (duh). That's really where the "protect the players" argument loses a whole lot of water.

The only year(because 2008 no Brady) they still made the super bowl does that not count??? I KNOW I KNOW as you point out 0 championships and as Patriots fans we now accept nothing less than Super Bowl titles not just apperances So i guess in that regard you are correct
