AFC/NFC check in

trev · Post by **trev** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:57 pm

Represent your team. You all know the drill. Chargers. We all know AFC west rules this board every year, but don't get all sensitive if your team isn't in the AFC west. Feel free to start your own thread with your own division. Make sure you live in the city you represent and aren't in here bandwagoning another team. Poptart gets a pass on that one.

I am IN, of course, but perhaps a Non-AFC check in would be an even better idea.

We all know that there is more AFC West talk in here than any other division, even though we have 'lost' quite a number of West fans over the years ... for various reasons.
I won't point fingers.

I'd like to see a thread for any fan who happens to read this board to check in, just to see what teams are represented here.

I might start that thread.

... or not.

The AFC West, by virtue of it's total fan dominance is CLEARLY the most compelling division in the NFL.

That's a given.

Get fucked, other faggot fans, you don't rate.

'Lost' to gender reassignment.

He who still has a pair has no issue with pointing the finger...

When was the last time the AFC Worst won a Super Bowl? Elway?

Errrr, wait a minute, might be time for H-Town to check back out of this one...

Checking in to report that KC has just signed their #1 draft pick (5th overall) Glenn motherfucking Dorsey for an obscene amount of money.

Trezelle Jenkins, Junior Siavii, and Ryan Sims think you got paid too much.

There are exceptions. You can provide an explanation why you are whoring out to another team outside your city/state.

Dorsey will be in the Pro Bowl soon, if not this year.

No, he fucking wont.

In 2005, he started in 1 out of 13 games-and his work ethic was highly questioned as was his inability to control his weight.

'06 and '07 were much of the same with him-only add in a busted down knee and tailbone injuries, one of which is still not fully healed after 2 years (knee), which is why he slipped to KC in the first place.

Wake the rest of us when this fragile, gimpy knee'd sack of overrated shit plays a full season for the first time in 4 fucking years.

Dorsey has bust written all over his injured ass. Pure and simple.

Lemme get this straight- you're going to call G. Dorsey a BUST despite ALL the experts AND even a guy here that has probably seen him play every single game in LSU Tiger gear????

Seriously....OFF THIS SHIT TROLL right now.

AFC West may get the most run on this board, but don't let that confuse all of you from the most competitive division in all of football: The AFC South

2 teams with legit Super Bowl contenders and 2 teams who are playoff contenders.

Strap on your seatbelts, nogs, The South is about to rise again.

Can't you read? You're only supposed to respond if you live in the same city as your team.

In 2005, he started in 1 out of 13 games-and his work ethic was highly questioned as was his inability to control his weight.

You mean when he was behind two returning All Americans at DT?

That 2005?

Wake the rest of us when this fragile, gimpy knee'd sack of overrated shit plays a full season for the first time in 4 fucking years.

He played every game last year... Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy, Nagurski Award, and Lott Award out front should have told you.

Let's see... he played every game his senior year... every game his junior year... and every game of his sophmore year. Breaking in as a frosh, he missed a couple, since he was kinda behind multiple All Americans returning to the team that kinda won the championship.

So... what were you babbling about again? Something about easily the most dominant player in CFB last year... you know, that guy who was by far the driving force on the team he LED to the championship?

Christ, you're fucking stupid.

This cracks me the fuck up. What % of the snaps did he participate in again?

But hey, he appeared in every game, so he must be durable as fuck, huh? Wrong.

His knee is fucked, and his tibia is a ticking time bomb waiting to blast off on him. The first "real" cutblock this overrated slit gets thrown on him by an NFL lineman will be the detonator. Period.

Almost all of them.

I know this is the part where you try and look all smart and stuff... but you're dealing with people who actually watched LSU games for the last 4 years.

His knee is fucked, and his tibia is a ticking time bomb waiting to blast off on him.

Hmmm.... a bunch of guys with the letters "MD" after their name seemed to disagree with you.

Sure, those "MD"-types DO live in KC... I'll grant you that... but they didn't seem nearly as concerned about it as you are.

The first "real" cutblock this overrated slit gets thrown on him by an NFL lineman will be the detonator. Period.

The first down he ever played in his CFB career... he walked on the field, and made a play which won the game. And that's how he's been rolling ever since. All dude does is makes plays that win games... period.

Easily the best player in CFB last season.

Care to explain why J-Ville isn't considered a Super Bowl contender?

Care to explain why Houston and Tennessee aren't playoff contenders?

Tennessee made the playoffs last year, so what is different about it this year? Nothing really.

Houston won 8 games without Green, Schaub, and Johnson being on the field for more than 3 games. Green has some backup now and Alex Gibbs is arguably the best offensive line coach in the game. How does that not translate to two more wins?

Neither the Patriots nor the Panthers reference a city or state in their franchise name. Who shall root for these teams?

How many states don't have NFL franchises? Who shall these people root for? Must all people from NY root for Buffalo… or is it okay to root for the New Jersey Jets/Giants?

Did you really think this abortion of a thread through… or did you just mash the coat hanger button as per usualm? How many new peeps are "new here" that you need a recap of who roots for whom… or is your brain pickled from too many Vodka and Tomsdicks?

I don't know if Dorsey will be a beast or a bust, but when a big dude like him has already had significant leg problems it's something that you have to wonder about.

We're in the 20th year of a 5 year SB plan.

All Chiefsfan is concerned about is will he help to make this team a winner.

Nonsense. We have Rodgers and Brohm to carry the day. Favre in gonzo, McCarthy already said Rodgers is the starter.

Of course, if Rodgers snaps a leg before they can get a trade put together....

I never knew who was your NFL team before...just knew that you like the Sox and the 'Hawks. Are you pretty much adopting all the DC teams now that you're there? Still loyal to the Chi-town teams? I'm not picking on you, you're just someone that I know that moved to another city to find work and had strong ties to other teams in your previous city. I don't know the common practice of being a transplant and knowing whether or not you start following the teams in your new town.

I just came back from visiting my dad this weekend in Milwaukee. He's lived over there for almost a dozen years but lived in Michigan most of his life. He keeps up with the Brewers and Packers but still follows the Tigers, Lions and Wings through reading the Detroit papers online or through talking to me on the phone. He actually did live minutes from Lambeau Field when he was a little kid so I guess I understand the Packers angle and he's always been a big Favre fan. My sister moved to Houston after college and has started to follow the Astros, Texans and Rockets but still keeps up on the local teams back home.

I don't know but to me I'd have a hard time just jumping on board and root for your new hometown teams just out of convenience. I realize it would be tougher to keep up with your old teams back home because of where you live and they might not be on TV or they don't get much national coverage. Let's say I take a job in another state near another major sports city...I'd have a difficult time rooting for the teams there after rooting for the Lions, Tigers, Wings, Pistons and Michigan for my entire life. I'd do my best to keep up with my original teams...I'd say to hell with wherever I'm living and those teams, I'll stay loyal to the Detroit/Michigan teams. I can see adapting to the way of life in the new city and all but sports teams aren't something you change each time you move.

Maybe that's just me though...

Mvscal and Dinsy are pretty funnay in this thread.

Yes, you can bring out a list of players who overcame injury to go on to have outstanding careers.
Goes without saying.

You understand, however, that the list is FAR longer, of players who had early injury and could NOT overcome and had their careers derailed.

Further, this Dorsey, who Dinsdale perhaps rightfully stated, was the most dominant player in CFB last year, went only 5th in the draft, despite each of the four teams passing on him having at least reasonable need at his position.

Injury concern almost certainly played a part in those teams passing him over.

Any rational person realizes that with Dorsey, you have to wonder about his leg condition and the weight that he carries around on that leg.

That is all.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:09 am

Not to mention the 'duhs, who already have a full house backfield, drafted McFadden right before Dorsey, based on reasonable need.

'tart, you're spinning faster than BSmack at a Democratic Underground recruiting seminar.
