Around the NFL: AFC/NFC Championships 

Post#1 » by BUCKnation » Wed Jan 16, 2013 4:36 am

Didnt know where to post this so I figured Id start the (pre)game thread for this week's championship games off with this great vid.

As bad as is it to not watch the Packers, we will all still probably watch.

Go Ravens and 49ers. Of course this means the Super Bowl will be Patriots and Falcons.

Don't like any of the teams but I guess I hate the Pats and Falcons more. I wouldn't find seeing the Pats lose another SB
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

If it was a guarantee that the NFC was going to win, I would love to see the Pats in it AGAIN.

I think everyone is counting out the Falcons to easily and have a feeling they will win. Nolan will prepare and make adjustments for the read option, Falcons are more talented by far when it comes to skill players and their Olines are much closer than it was between GB/SF.

I don't really care who wins this week as long as the Pats don't win the SB, but I have a feeling it will be ATL/NE. Wouldn't mind a Harbaugh Superbowl, or seeing ATL win their first SB.....just no Pats.

Bears hire Trestman, glad they didn't get an established guy.

+1 ... I'll be rooting for the Ravens and 49ers this weekend. Can't stand NE and ATL are frauds IMO.

Really interested to see Kelly in the pros. Next great innovator or the Pitino of football?

Probably gonna roll with Vick. I know his offense won't be a carbon copy in the NFL but I'd rather have Vick than Foles doing it unless they can get Geno Smiff or something.

Well according to wiretap, Phil Knight was making it worth his while to stick around. I'm guessing thd ncaa is closer to hitting Oregon than Kelly originally thought

Yeah, I think Kelly took a page out of Pete Carroll's book. Take the best possible NFL offer before the sanctions hit.

Bears hire Trestman. Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Rich Gannon are all up in arms of this move.

Also recruited Russell Wilson.

Listening to Cowherd this morning. He just said he recently spoke with someone close to Chip Kelly and said that he is going to try to revolutionize the NFL and probably not how you'd expect. The insider told Cowherd that Kelly is planning on getting 3 league minimum QBs that ran the Pistol in college. He'll then spend all of his available salary cap money on his defense. Apparently he feels that the QB position in his offense will get beat up pretty badly, but that it will also be both an easy and cheap position to fill if a starter goes down. Needless to say, this would be a pretty interesting story line going into next year.

I'm thinking he drafts Marqueis Gray at the end of the draft. :D

I've been waiting for somebody to try an offense featuring multiple athletic QBs on the field at one time for a while now.
