NFL Thread: Thoughts on the game south of the 49th

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I had an awesome mullet. 501 Levis pre and post the acid wash fad. :shock:

Donny i think Tim Tebow is pretty strong minded on just being a qb, though I do agree he could be a good tight end or FB.

I agree Blobby.

Don't think he'd go for it nor do I think they'll try.

Apparently the Jacksonville owner loves the dude and wanted to draft him.

Jaguars here I come?

We'll see.

I think Tebow will be fine. Not just as a QB but the guy is all heart. We'll see him in the NFL, just not as the Broncos QB.

Good luck to Tebow.

Or maybe Tebow damned himself by tasting the forbidden fruit.

Maybe he did a Barrett Robbins. I'd love to see Tebow let loose in Tijuana, where he could easily pass as another Jesus.

God favors the Broncos over the Hawks yet again. Am I doomed to follow the two teams that will never win anything of significance?! Hath Thou forsaken me Father?

Blob, did you have the Ozzy/Iron Maiden baseball T underneath the Lee Stormrider jacket too? Luckily, no acid wash made it to the inner-ghettos of Vancity.

Whoa now (see wot) your Hawks just won the Matt Flynn sweepstakes when it was (theoretically) a given he was going to Miami with Philbin.

Pete Carroll is putting together a nice little something something down there just across our border.

Look at it this way, he (Peyton) could have been a Niner or a Cardinal, now that would have SUCKED for your Hawks no?

Patience.

Thanks for rein-ing in my disappointment Donny. The mane thing for me is, one club was established in 1970 while the other in 1974. They have been so bad furlong time. I picked winners like dhabums picks 'em. I should be flogged and whipped for my terrible choices.

I've had enough of seeing the Broncos over the years in the AFC west getting quality, stable quarterbacks and kicking the Hawks from the Kingdome to the Rockies. Now the manning from the horseshoe club decides to stay with an equine-themed team. I say that is horse-shit!

As for Flynn, do you think he is as good as a swashbuckler as his predecessor Rodgers? After all, he only had one good game as a starter. And I just can't put my faith in a coach with a girl's name, who's success came off Matt Leinart in college.

The only bright side I can see is we can still beat up on the Rams!

Patiently grazing.

Still grazing after all these years....

Surely you see more of a bright side than that?

The Hawks were turning a corner during the second half of last year. 5-3 after the break and they lost their last two in tough fashion one a two point defeat at the hands of eventual NFC championship game contestant the 49'ers in a game San Fran lost on two special teams fumbles and clearly could have won.

The defense appears to be turning into a staunch and tough unit and the running game is certainly a positive.

So the question is Flynn. Tavaris Jackson ain't it so if Matt turns into a reincarnation of another ex-Packer QB the Seahawks made great use of then who knows.

But things are moving in the right direction in Seattle regardless of the coaches last name.

I've had my head in the sand in regards to the NFL for a bit but I like what I see out of Carroll right now especially getting Flynn. The Seahawks have to do something about the secondary and perhaps another receiver if they can but the pivot is key. You need a guy who can work in the pocket and make plays- Flynn improves the team in that regard.

That being said- time for a road trip back down to Seattle- Donny I'll fly out you can pick me up in the X6, I'll pay for premium gas and prime seats? Deal?

Supreme.

I go down at least once a year.

Saw the Ravens this season.

My Cowboys are in Seattle next season so I'll be down for that one for certain.

Please take the Hard Knocks cameras back to New York.

Rex Ryan, Santonio Holmes, Bart Scott and Tim Tebow.

Awesome.

Good luck Tim.

It's Tebow Time on Broadway.

The New York Jets acquired Tim Tebow from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, bringing the polarizing quarterback to a team that just recently gave starter Mark Sanchez a three-year contract extension.

Denver general manager Brian Xanders said the Broncos will receive fourth- and sixth-round draft picks, while New York gets a seventh-rounder - all in 2012.
