NFL 2007 Playoffs

@General:

Sorry I was so late sending my payment.

I would like to echo that apology, sent mine today… sorry for being so late. Next year please set up email transfer with your bank, you won’t regret it.

No problem YG.

Yes, I will look into that. I know it is less than convenient for you guys that are a couple hundred miles (+) away.

@Imperious:

The supporting cast basically didn’t show up. I don’t like the substitutions. For example, why not play Greg Ogden? The whole point was to have a big man and he just sat on the bench. Also, they didn’t really play Haslem till the end and they broke the confidence of Chalmers. He never played this poorly ever.

Big men wouldn’t have helped outside shooting, which is what killed the Heat - best FG% in any finals in history, nearly 50% from 3 as a team.

They need to trade for a PG, get rid of Wade.

Not sure what happened with Chalmers, but he was terrible.  Cole would have been a better start.

Need a real center, not Anderson

Need a bench more than they need a center.  But that’s where they took cuts to sign the Big 3.

Run more plays for Bosh

Maybe in the 1st game - after that he caught the Wade flu.

yeah I know the tuck rule being a bad rule was the issue. The rule is so bad that Brady was “targeting” his feet with a pass and it was still considered a forward pass. That stupid rule was applied correctly but shouldn’t have been the rule in the first place. There’s severely NFL rules that make little to no sense. Tuck Rule being one of them

New Orleans is a good second team - they were down and out for a long time, won it all, and are gearing up for another go at it… they have great uniforms, a wild city, and a fun style to watch.

@GoSanchez6:

Watch Nfl network most of the analysts agree with me on this one. Brady plays in a system he doesn’t read defenses like Manning. Manning calls almost all of his plays. Look at this years playoffs Brady couldn’t audible his way out against what the Jets threw at him. Manning did most of the night.

NFL players poll placed Brady over Manning.

My first pro team was the Chicago Bears. When we first had TV in 1951 there was only one station (major network) in Indianapolis and they had the Bears on Sundays. Sometimes the Chicago Cardinals were on but they were poor and usually got beat up. That was my first exposure to pro football.

@frimmel:

It is incorrect to call this labor troubles. It is not a strike. This did not start with the workers.

Union busting is union busting. It is simply owners attempting to increase their profits at the expense of their employees. Employees that are frequently physically broken and who lose years from their lives for their jobs. No one goes to the games or tunes in on TV to see the owners. No sympathy for the owners here.

Nice analysis here.

Every player in the NFL knows the risk that playing football has. Sixty percent of revenue going to the players is rather high. Somewhere between forty and fifty percent sounds better.

Both sides should be able to agree on a rookie cap.
