Could you imagine him making the hall of fame with the chuck n duck? it would set a horrible precedent.

If he played in any other city I don’t think he’s even talked about in this regard. He’s a very good QB, yes, but HOF worthy?

goldomatic, who is King in the art of wishful thinking

He MIGHT be a top 6 QB THIS YEAR

I just don’t get why that makes him a hall of famer.

by RealSantaClaude on Feb 4, 2012 3:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Because he has two rings!

That argument makes my stomach turn. If it’s all about the QB, why not have games decided by a passing drill instead of, you know, a GAME? There’s so many other aspects in any game that to give one person all the credit/blame makes zero sense to me.

Is it sad to think that being on the right team at the right time is valued more than playing well consistently every year? I mean Mcnabb is not going to sniff the hall of fame. Also, Eli Manning had 17 less touchdowns than Matthew Stafford this year, less completiong percentage, and far less yardage. Is Matthew Stafford god then?

Not a problem.

My point was though in long seasons, teams, no matter how good or bad they are, are going to have some let down games like this. Sometimes the opponent has a bad game as well and you manage to hang around, and sometimes the other team plays you like it’s the Stanley Cup and today happens.

That Ghislain Hebert managed to bungle as many calls as he did today certainly did not do the struggling Flyers any favors.

Yes. We’ve seen this before, without the help of the refs.

Has anyone blamed the Mayans yet?

Wasn’t that short-handed goal single-handedly because Giroux got blatantly tripped and it went uncalled? Or was that another goal?

I’d have called it a slash and not a trip, but yeah, that was the one.

by everybodyhitswoohoo on Feb 4, 2012 3:46 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, it was. But the Flyers were on a power play and Giroux missed a wide open net.

I’m not saying the officiating was good, but the Flyers were terrible for 40 minutes.

Hedberg made some huge saves at the end there.

OK, my fault. Seriously, a great third period. Keep it going in NY. With how young this team is, especially without Pronger or Briere, we can expect more of these.

GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal

by Bud in TN on Feb 4, 2012 3:42 PM EST reply actions  

Whatever. At least they got some individual points today. That’s about all.

If I’m calculating this correctly, Bob’s save percentage dropped from .919 to .911 in this game alone. Ouch.

Hell, the Winnipeg game for both of them. Didn’t Bob give up 5 goals in 15 shots or something like that, and then Bryz came in and gave up 4 on 10?

Numerous Devils fans want Rinaldo suspended because of the slew-foot on Parise. If that gets Rinaldo out of the line-up and Harry Z in, okay by me.

I’m still confused about Scrabble being a scratch…. Is Lavy punishing him for no reason just because he can’t do that to Nodl anymore?

He should stop fighting guys who could have played linebacker 20 years ago (meaning 220 or more and solid. I realize linebackers are 250 now.)

But Flyers-Schenn > Devils-Kovy, so there’s that.
