Around the NFL: Week 16

[SirClintonPortis]

****, Rodgers has a career day and I benched him in fantasy. But hey, at least Tebow started for him in my leagues where I'm not starting Vick.

Tom Brady now with 34 TD to 4 INT.

Sick.

Best QB of all time IMO

I would support us making a move for Orton, and rebuilding other aspects like our defense in the draft.

Grossman vs Orton vs Beck for the Redskins QB next season could be interesting.

LaGarrett Blount is a straight up beast and he may be the next young star RB. Can't believe the guy went undrafted for upper cutting the guy on Boise.

Anybody think the NFL cancelling the Eagles vs Minnesota is kinda weak? Pussification of football...Cant remember a game canceled for weather.

I think the NFL wasn't left with much of a choice. If I'm not mistaken, the mayor of Philly came out yesterday morning and declared that all residents should not leave their homes after 2pm. Given that, what was the NFL supposed to do? What if they held the game? Then anyone who attended would be acting against the wishes of the mayor, and what if someone was seriously hurt or killed at the game as a direct result of the weather? It would be a friggin fiasco.

A few weeks ago the Bears and Patriots played in blizzard conditions in Chicago. It's not like the league is opposed to playing in bad weather. I just don't think they were left with much of a choice on this one.

Absolutely. It offends me and more importantly probably any player that has played in a bad weather game.

Also offends the Governor of PA

from the article, kinda sums it up for me:

Sure, in retrospect, it's easy to say the game should have been played. But at the time the decision was made, it was the right call. Being reactionary doesn't work in a blizzard. You have to be proactive. If the blizzard conditions that hit New York had been present in Philadelphia during the game, it would have been dangerous for the thousands of fans who would have braved the weather. Just as importantly, it would have been a huge problem for the road crews and police who would have been tasked with saving stranded motorists in whiteout conditions on the highways. Officials always say during storms to stay at home and leave the roads clear for emergencies. A football game is no emergency.

I thought it was hilarious when Collinsworth was just going on and on about it, he was pretty harsh of the decision. I thought it was a bit weak, but understand it...i think after seeing the conditions, it really wasnt that bad compared to games in the past. Better safe than sorry for those lil gurlie man Philly fans

The Saints take care of Atlanta in Atlanta tonight, big win for those guys.

I personally don't have a major problem with Dan Snyder.....BUT, every time I see Gregg Williams and how his Saints D perform. Thinking IMO he should have been our next HC three years ago after Joe hand picked the man. No sooner than Joe gets out the door, dumb and dumber go through countless interviews get rid of Gregg and Al, hire another dummy in Zorn and within weeks its a circus all over again. If to much thought goes into it Snyder makes me sick!

They just said on the postgame show that Drew Brees has completed 20 or more passes to 10 different receivers this year. First time in league history. That's just silly efficient. Also makes you never want to start a Saints pass catcher in fantasy football. Haha.

Tuesday football....it's only been a little more than 64 years.

This season's been freaking crazy with unexpected crap. Arian Foster, Randy Moss, McNabb, Vick, etc.

[firstdown]

I love to see the Vikes kick their ass but I'm think Vick and company will win this game in the first half.

[tryfuhl]

Vick has thrown about 5 balls that should've been picked. One of them was, a couple dropped, one offensive pass interference

oh look.. they just stripped him and took it for a TD

he's not helping his MVP chances with this game
