PSYCHOcatholic Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 So...i know everybody just cant wait til the Superbowl cause Rolling Stones are playing! But...we must honor the Rolling Stones with some good teams! Now, of course i always root for my team the Patriots. But they had there victory, and Brady has his ring! So, this season, im lookin for the Cowboys! Titans just ruined my life with the Ind. game...im not even gonna comment on that! SO....random thoughts on this NFL season! Who ya rootin for? Should Brett Favre quit? the answers YES Should we kick Detroit out of the NFL? Well, then where would all the bad players have to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well , Indy seems the obvious choice , presently , but I think Chicago v.s Indianapolis would be the most interesting matchup : Awesome Def vs. Off --Indy would still win , IMO , but it could be exciting if Chi could find a way to score , as well . I'm rooting for a game worth watching , as usual , as I don't have a particular favorite . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'll say Indianapolis will win the super bowl vs. any NFC team, but Seattle has a good chance to beat Indianapolis in the regular season. Should we kick Detroit out of the NFL? Just install the USC Trojans in place of Detroit and they'd be right up there in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Right on , and let's talk expansion ... out with Detroit , IN with the Saskatchewan Roughriders ! Only 3 downs at home , lots of passing ! A single point for a punt that clears the endzone , no fair catches, a 55 yard line -- eh ? EH ? A mystery factor --might pull in the fans !? ... perhaps ... Bluesboy , What about the Chargers ? They could pull it off on a hot streak ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Those Cincinnati Tiger Cats are lurking, too....my preseason pick to go to the Super Bowl....along with the New York Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Bluesboy , What about the Chargers ? They could pull it off on a hot streak ? The Chargers secondary is weak and gives up too many passes. The Chargers won't make the playoffs, even as a wild card team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Ooh, VERY bold statement, Bluesman. But I do think Pittsburgh has the easier schedule down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 They do have a pretty wicked offense, though. They'd better watch out for those Dolphins next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm not a big Charger fan so it's easier to critique them. BLASPHEMY! I grew up in San Diego and the Chargers are in my heart still. I'm from the era of Air Coryell, and even when the Chargers are stinking up the stadium, I still love 'em. I'll be crushed if they move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from the era of Air Coryell, and even when the Chargers are stinking up the stadium, I still love 'em. I'll be crushed if they move... I grew up in Los Angeles. My parents had season tickets to the Rams for over 30 years, so I went to about 150 games at the Los Angeles Coliseum from 1958 - 1971. Then about 1980, they moved to Anaheim and eventually St. Louis, and I Was crushed. I've never come around to the Chargers. Their owner stinks and San Diego deserves better.

Chomp ! Chomp ! Eating one's words isn't half bad ( as I end up doing so often , I guess ) ...Pass the salt ! Oh, well . Go Pittsburgh !

_Laurie_ Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Can someone explain the "holding" call?....to me it looks they are all holding and grabing each other on every play... oh and when a guy is down...why do 5 other guys have to jump ontop of the pile?....just wondering....

Kevin Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) I believe that holding is when the offensive players , most often , ( usually linemen ) grab onto the defensive players rushing at the ballcarrier or quarterback . They are allowed to push them back or block them , but not grab nor 'hold' them . Blues boy ( below ) describes the most common reason for it . Your second question describes a bit of an art : The tackling players may pile onto the guy with the ball untill the whistle blows signalling that the ballcarrier is down and play has ended . If they continue to do so after , it can be a penalty or personal foul . The reason is quite simply to make sure the ballcarrier is stopped -- but more accurately , to punish and try to intimidate him for future plays . This is ' the art ' . Also , as Psycho will mention 2 posts down , they may cause a fumble . Edited January 16, 2006 by Guest Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Laurie, the 2nd one first - It's just the forward momentum of the defense collapsing on the guy with the ball (ba-boom!). Holding is when the offensive lineman realizes the defensive guy has a one step jump on him and within 4 seconds will decimate your quarterback unless you slow him down by tugging on his jersey in front of a zebra.

PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 In some rare cases...the ballcarrier fumbles the ball...then most of the team is in the pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
