Outside of Tommy boy’s affinity for sheep…which proves amusing when he goes to the ” I swear officer I was just trying to help it through the fence” defense…has he contributed anything other than pissing and moaning about Rah and the Glazers?

Honestly though the nose picker (Clayton not Little Tommy) is right, QB play is what makes this the toughest division in football. It certainly wasn’t the top notch D on any of the teams. Brees is top 3, Ryan and Free are top 10, that much talent at that position in 1 division is a diff maker…that and very good coaching….like it or not …Rah and his staff are reason 1b to Freemans 1a on this teams turn around.

OK, the “jack ass” is yelling “hee haw” again. Thanks Jack Ass 2.0, we now know that we took third in the devision last year, and that if we show some optimisim after a 10 – 6 season that we are sheep. I have already stated why your animal nickname is jack ass, so I will spare the redundent post.

“I hate third place, unfortunately the sheep, Glazers and the hc don’t.”

———–

To quote Ricky Bobby, “If you aint first, you are last.” In the grand scheme of things, only one team had a good season.

Thomass fails to understand the difference between being happy and being optimistic. Maybe if you use that law school education you received, it may one day all make sense to you. Then again, maybe if you weren’t such a negative pr!&k all the time, you might actually understand what optimistic means.

What the heck is Clayton talking about with the following?
“Part of the problem for Brees and the Saints last year was that the Saints played their toughest games on the road while the Falcons’ toughest games were at home.”

Atlanta played Pittsburgh on the road and Baltimore at home. New Orleans played the reverse. Pretty sure Pittsburgh was the tougher team last year.

Atlanta played Philly on the road and GB at home. NO played Dallas on the road and Minn at home. Both of NFC E/C teams Atl played were better than either of the ones NO played.

The rest of the games were either against garbage teams (NFC West + Cleveland + Cincy) or division games (home-and-home).

Clayton is ass-backwards on this. There’s just no way to spin it that the Saints somehow had a tougher road than the Falcons. In the only two games against non-common teams, Atl faced two playoff teams (one of which was SB champ) and NO faced zero. And Atl faced the other SB participant on the road.

@Thomas 2.2

It seems like the only thing you look at is “3rd place” all the time! You frequently also point out Raheem’s HC record “13-19″ with most of the losses coming from one bad season in 2009.

We were 3rd place in arguably the toughest division in football and in a conference that had a lot of good teams last year. 10-6 is a damn good record. Freeman had a great year and should have gone to the pro bowl in my opinion. Raheem grew a lot as a head coach. Blount had a great rookie year, so did Mike Will, Cody Grimm and others! 90% of the time a 10-6 record at least gets you a wild card spot.

Before the 2010 season, I disliked Raheem probably more than you did. I thought he was way too inexperienced to have a HC job. But the guy surprised us all and did one hell of a job last year! You may be the biggest Raheem hater out there, but you definitely can’t say the guy did a bad job last year. It’s not just talent that got us 10 wins, you have to have some pretty DAMN good coaching to win 10 games with 10+ rookies starting on a team. Raheem isn’t perfect, but hell, he’s done pretty good for never having even been a cordinator.

And before it riles up those who don’t care for the current administration, yeah the last coach and gm won the division with a 9-7 record. Wow! What a shocker…. so yeah complain about us being 3rd in our division at 10-6….

Give me a double digit win season and I will take my changes with our division.

what did the “experts” predict for the bucs last year thomas?

Another expert predicting the bucs miss the playoff and finish third in the south. I hate third place, unfortunately the sheep, Glazers and the hc don’t.

Ahhhh, the old “best division” conversation…..

NFC north 2 playoff teams, 1 fringe, 1 rebuild
NFC south 2 playoff teams, 1 fringe, 1 rebuild
Afc north 2 playoff teams, 1 fringe, 1 rebuild
Afc south 1 playoff teams, 2 fringe, 1 rebuild
Afc west 1 playoff teams, 2 fringe, 1 rebuild
NFC east 1 playoff teams, 2 fringe, 1 rebuild
Afc east 2 playoff teams, 0 fringe, 2 rebuild
NFC west 0 playoff teams, 3 fringe, 1 rebuild

I think the Vikings are better than Carolina
Bucs edge out the browns, cin and car are a wash
Afc west and south are kind of a wash
The rest seems simple…

I think the NFC South is incredibly competitive and contains three teams that are playoff contenders this coming season.
Actually, IMO that’s a no-brainer.

Here’s another gem for you! I would not trade our QB for any other QB in the NFL today, straight up. Given his talent, size, athletic ability and obvious desire to win to go with leadership skill? Well, at 23 years old and with his connection to this team and it’s system and fellow players……another NO-BRAINER!

And finally, isn’t that nice? Cannot WAIT for this season to begin, preferably AFTER August 1 of course.

Honestly, Joe cannot stand the NFC East. Only team there Joe can stomach is the Redskins and now with Bruce Almighty and Rat Shanahan running that team, it’s even painful to watch that outfit.

Dallass, Philly, New York… Joe’s changing the channel.
