Oh it does matter. Turner should lose his job for that ridiculously poor decision to go for an onside kick and I'll tell you why. The math dictated that for SD to get back to even, they had to force NY to punt. Had they kicked off deep, the Jets never would have gone for it 4th down on their side of the field. They kick off deep, hold them to 3 downs and NJ punts with a minute remaining. The onside kick makes zero sense. I doubt Kaeding would miss a 4th kick within realistic yardage. The game should have gone to OT. The Jets had nothing to really lose if they didn't make it on the SD 30. That was the right call by Ryan to try and win it right there and he did.


I didn't even really feel like it was as ballsy of a call for Ryan to make as the announcers were making it seem like with the way the Jets corners were playing.

Hindsight is certainly always 20/20. If that (great) onside kick gets tipped the right way and Chargers recover and score, it's a genius move. I liked the aggressiveness of the play. It just didn't happen to work.

But, Turner has probably run his course in SD. While I'm not familiar with all the stuff Turner does and doesn't do, a great example is using Tomlinson all game, which was like Mangini using Jamal Lewis all season long for the Browns. Simply a lost cause.

I just still can't get over how awful the field goal kicking has been the entire playoffs. I have seen so many missed, 30-40 yd, should-be routine kicks in these playoff games. Simply unacceptable for pros.

The only thing the Cowgirls do is take up playoff space from another team that might potentially show up and not choke every year. I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse quarterback than Tony Romo in the playoffs. That guy just plain sucks.


stupidest comment ever!! you are completly out of line!!!.. its mid to late January .. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Spot on. Couldn't believe he was going for the onside kick either. You have a rookie QB in Sanchez (and Shonn Green). Back him up and see if nerves cause a fumbled snap or the noise gets to him. No ... numbnuts gives him the ball on the SD 40. Both he and Phillips will be in the unemployment line shortly. San Diego should back up a Brinks truck and tell Bill Cowher it's his.

The Cowboys are whining about the Vikings "running" up the score.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/ ... id=4834737

They are making themselves a laughingstock. I NEVER agree with not running up the score regardless of the situation. There should be no mercy if the other team chooses not to show it. This is professional sports, not the 8 and under Little League where we don't want Little Johnny to get upset that he got beat bad.

The only thing any member of the Cowboys players or coaching staff should be talking about is how they got flat-out beat and outclassed in every facet of the game.

Yet another sports non-story "controversy" we'll have to read about the next 3-5 days :roll: :roll:

Chicago Bears DE Gaines Adams dies at 26

http://signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan ... -sc-at-26/

Gaines Adams, a defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears who was an all-American at Clemson, died Sunday in South Carolina, the Bears said. He was 26.

The team said Adams died Sunday morning at Self Regional Hospital. He had gone into cardiac arrest about an hour before at his family's home in Greenwood, said Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County.

An autopsy conducted Sunday showed Adams had an enlarged heart, Kelley-Clark said. She said the condition can often lead to a heart attack, though Adams' relatives didn't know of any problems.

"Nobody was aware of any kind of medical condition," Kelley-Clark said.

Toxicology tests are being run by the State Law Enforcement Division, though drug use was not suspected as a factor in Adams' death. However, those results probably will not be available for at least two months, Kelley-Clark said.

The 6-foot-5, 258-pound defensive end was well-known among Clemson fans for breaking up Wake Forest's field goal try and returning it for a touchdown in 2006 to defeat the Demon Deacons...

Agreed.... If the score was completely reversed, do you think the Cowboys would take a second thought about going in for a score if the opportunity was there? Someone stick his nook in his mouth and send him back to Texas

Running up the score wat the smartest thing Farve and the vikes did yesterday- it wasnt about the cowboys game- it was about the saints game. You could tell from Farves post game interview he knows the Saints game is gonna be tough.
By running up the score they created a controversy that will last for days . Everyone will be saying what assholes the Vikings are - that will make the team come together even more and be even more fired up next week. Right thing to do.
but perhaps not the nicest thing for the cowboys, but Im sure theyll get over it.

As predicted, this scoring incident is all the pundits have been discussing all morning :roll: :roll:

Pathetic.

I've never understood the need to abstain from scoring once you are in the position to win. Seems stupid to me.

I come from a sport where there is no clock and you can be one point away from victory and still lose if you let up on your opponent, so maybe that colors my outlook on it. But still, pros shouldn't be whining when they get beat bad, even if the score is run up. Save that for the baby little leaguers and flag footballers

Myself, I find it quite curious that there are 3 Dome teams left in the playoffs. Not only do I think dome teams are pussified fukkers, I think that it gives them at least 8 games within a controlled environment...

Minny I believe would do good on either turf style......N.O. and Indy definitely benefit from the shaved pussy....

The elements are part of the game.....what's next, soccer without stabbings and all out 5 alarm fires... :lol:

But I digress...I congratulate the 3 vaginas left in this year's playoffs.....and BTW, both championship games will be in domes. LAME-O.

Well, dome teams historically have not had huge success in the playoffs. I agree that elements should play a role.

But, I think the fact that dome teams are in the majority this year might be a bit of a reflection on the more pass-heavy modern game that has come to the forefront in the last 10 years or so.

That is one thing that makes the Jets' presence interesting here. They hearken back to the not so old school (it wasn't that long ago when teams like the Ravens were winning the SB) style of run-first, heavy D, grinding football.

Hello, it's me again. After watching this week's round of 'games'. I have the usual suggestions for rule changes in the NFL.

1) Dear Commish....please change the rule on touching the kicker with an eyelash/roughing the kicker rule. It seems to me that the only difference whether it is a penalty, or not is whether or not the ball is blocked. I've never in my life heard of a penalty for not allowing the kicker to replace his leg on the ground....so to sum it up- if you block the ball you can demolish a kicker's leg...etc. But if you miss the ball, plow into the kicker...it is a penalty. All based on whether you 'touch' the ball? LAME-O

2) Penalties AWAY from the ball/hands to the face. I never saw the logic in calling a penalty away from the action(unless it is holding a receiver). (had a good example, but can't remember). The way I see it....a running back can stiff arm a defender, twist his facemask, decapitate him.....but an O-linesman can't accidently have his hand creep up a D-Linesan's face for a NANO-SECOND? Just wondering.

3) During a punt - I belive any infraction that is made on the receiving team before change in possession(ball in caught by returner) should, in fact, be assessed and if the yardage gives the kicking team a 1st down, so be it. Possession hasn't changed just because there is a punt.

good question.

My only rule change for the league to insure that the divisonal games are actually competive would be to give EVERYONE a week off... not just the top two teams.... maybe say the hell with the play in game.
I know the Jets won... but the other three games, you could tell the week off was a HUGE factor.

BTW, you know CBS is hoping for a MAnning/Favre super bowl.

I guess that mean your idol Barry Sanders was a vagina that played in a dome his whole career.

If your Detroit Lions had won anything back then you'd be singing a different tune.

Keith Brooking brought that last td on himself....always been a scumbag and he was holding the ballcarrier down with his elbow in the guy's throar right before the "offending" play.
F&*kn ref had to pull him off.

I wonder if Childress would've gone for the last td had Brooking not done that. Either way, good riddance, point proven. Based on the comments after the game Childress was clearly annoyed with the Cowboys hype they'd been getting the past month but face it, they beat the Eagles twice and the Redskins. Not exactly the vikings.

I still hate that lying sack of crap! I'm rooting for any of the other 3 teams to win the Super Bowl. I hope New Orleans beats them by 40 and goes into the 2:00 drill in the 4th quarter, Bree's firing the whole way! Then again they probably have too much class to do that.

I picked every game right thus far, minus the damn Pack, so here goes. For the marbles.

N.Y Jets @ Indy: The Jets are a great Cinderella team and they CERTAINLY have the tools to take down Manning. But for every Cinderella, there is a midnight and I think the overall outlook is that Peyton and company out match the Jets in every category but the defensive side of the ball. Manning and that quick strike, down the field offense will force the Jets into making stupid mistakes and they WILL get burned, mix that in with the best Indy defense Peyton has ever had, along with playing at home in the dome and you have the Indy Colts going to Superbowl 44. Indy by 13.

Vikes @ Saints: This is probably the most unpredictable game within the last couple years. I've said it all year, the ONLY team that could possibly make the Saints a run for their money, would be the Vikings. They have a STOUT defense that will get after you like wild bores, and they have machinery on offense that could destroy in MANY ways. The Saints on the other hand, have weapons of mass destruction and you simply can't cover all the components on the field or you'll get torched. The Saints D comes up with nice plays, but I see Minny moving the ball well and getting after them on defense, Dallas like earlier in the year. Maybe BOTH teams will take a kickoff or punt to the house. It's tough to go against a frenzied Saints dome, but I'm pulling for the old man. Vikes by 5.

Sean Peyton and "class" don't belong in the same sentence. He's a smug, smirking, smarmy nutsack in my opinion. With that said, the Saints are the only team I can pull for at this point. What a shit batch of post season teams going forward at this point. Aside from Favre's scant drawing power, it should prove to be one of the least watched championship and Superbowl matchups in history.

Peyton vs Brees or Peyton vs Favre are win-wins. I doubt the NFL/CBS(? is that who's got the SB?) want the Jets to be in there though.
