<p>I agree with this. Some of today’s football players are as close to super-human’s as you can get. </p>
<p>But wouldn’t you agree that the rules have changed over time to favor receivers and make it easier for quarterbacks to throw more touchdowns?</p>
<p>I think his best one is this one:</p>

<p>I am curious to hear what people think about the value of coaches. Last year the Saints were 7-9 without Sean Peyton. This year they rock. Last year the Eagles were 4-12 with Andy Reid. This year with Andy Reid the Chiefs rock. I can see an argument that Peyton is a good enough coach to affect his team. But if Reid was such a good coach and has affected the Chiefs why didn’t he have a better record with the Eagles?</p>
<p>You win, notrichenough. That is the best one ever!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I remember seeing that and rolling. So funny. </p>
<p>I’m sure there were some severe types who were offended by it, but I thought he was pretty hilarious.</p>
<p>Every time that car commercial would come on, I’d laugh. My husband finally started acting like he was half jealous about it, which would only make me laugh harder.</p>
<p>Now it’s a family joke. Any time something kind of good happens, D2 will look at me, and say in her best Peyton Manning voice, “How 'bout that?”</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Most coaches don’t have full control over personnel. I don’t think Reid did in Philly. So if your GM doesn’t get you talent, even the best coach can only do so much. And Philly is pretty bad this year - their two wins are against the 0-5 Giants and the 1-3 Redskins.</p>
<p>Pioli actually put together a lot of talent in KC, but before Reid, their coaching was <em>horrible</em>. For years.</p>
<p>And for even the best coaches, they can have a shelf live. Players eventually tune them out, they get stagnant. Reid lasted a long time (14 years), and was pretty successful over the years. Even with his lousy first (5-11) and final (4-12) years, his record at Philly was 130-93-1; 121-70-1 in his middle 12 years. That’s an average of 10 wins/season for 12 years, and they finished 1st in the division 6 times.</p>
<p>A bad coach can kill you. Lane Kiffen, Romeo Crennel, Todd Haley, Rich Kotite… there’s been a lot of them. There are some bad ones currently - Greg Schiano comes to mind.</p>
<p>The Patriots were a laughingstock for years until they somehow convinced Parcells to become coach. They dwindled back down in the the Pete Carroll years, until Belichick got there and established a dynasty.</p>
<p>Coaching can make a big difference.</p>
<p>The United Way commercial is great. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. </p>
<p>There’s one line in one of commercials I like a lot. It’s the pizza commercial when he says “that’s what I do”. Pure Peyton. Not too many players could say that without sounding like total you know whats, but he has no problem with it.</p>
<p>By the way, what do you folks think of Geno Smith?</p>
<p>“Cut that meat! Cut that meat!”</p>
<p>
Considering he’s a rookie who has been thrown to the wolves on a team with no running backs, no receivers, and a lousy offensive line, he’s done pretty well.</p>
<p>He’s made rookie mistakes; can he learn from them? Jury is still out on that, IMO.</p>
<p>Thank goodness they’re getting rid of the pink flags next week.</p>
<p>Big Jets fan here (hence the handle). I think I’m going to like Geno Smith! Loved Sanchez, but it’s looking more and more like Smith is the answer. He needs a few years to mature and get used to the speed of the game, and if NY gives him that chance, he could be pretty good.</p>
<p>Greg Olsen (playing against Minnesota) or Marcellus Bennett (playing against the Giants) for tight end?</p>
<p>It looks like the Giants/Bears game is being broadcast on nfl.com as well as on the NFL cabel tv channel. I like that.</p>
<p>Giants are 0-6. They have a worse record than the Jets. Can you believe that?</p>
<p>It breaks my heart to see the Giants doing so badly.</p>
<p>Not.</p>
<p>Sorry, Eli, 3 more ints doesn’t get it done. That’s 15 in 6 games!</p>

<p>The New York teams might be competing for first place … in the 2014 draft. Too bad there isn’t a Luck coming out this year.</p>
<p>^ There is - Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville. </p>
<p>It’s starting to be known as “Play Dead For Ted.”</p>
<p>Giants theoretically don’t really need a qb though… Jadaveon Clowney would be a good choice for them.</p>
<p>The Jets will wind up with at least 5-6 wins, which will put them out of the running.</p>
<p>Don’t you guys think that Manziel will go pro after this season? Won’t he be the number one QB drafted?</p>
