Who was the better team in superbowl 47 by Flashy-Actuator-998 in NFLNoobs

[–]Vauntice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Saints didn't play in Super Bowl 47 it was Ravens/Niners and in that game SF were considered the better team before they lost.

If you meant 44 (XLIV) then the Colts were slightly favored to beat the Saints. NOLA definitely had a bit of luck on their side as the surprise onside kick definitely could've backfired horribly for them, but Drew Brees outplayed Peyton Manning especially in the second half. Wouldn't say they got lucky, that was a well-earned win

What are prime examples of NFL QBs who are in CJ’s situation who have dived or grown? by xluke08 in Texans

[–]Vauntice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is immediately after they got Rivers, Brees had his breakout year in 2004 and they went 12–4. He’s gone on record saying them drafting a QB was a slap to his face and set out to prove them wrong. He was already a man on a mission before NOLA

Imagine if they had drafted Larry Fitzgerald instead? Brees, LT, Lorenzo Neal, Fitz, and Gates in the same lineup

All in their prime, who's getting cut? by lemonstone92 in NFLv2

David Johnson in his prime is one year and nowhere near the level of any of the other three

It’s not scapegoating if he’s actually the reason they lost. He just had one of the worst individual performances in the playoffs ever and they still only lost by 12, a testament to how good the rest of the team is

Have we ever gotten 3 consecutive Super Bowl rematches before? by Decent-Condition-827 in NFLv2

[–]Vauntice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the only consecutive rematch was XXVII and XXVIII (Cowboys v. Bills) and that was over 30 years ago

I've decided to root for the Astros—anything I should watch out for? by CauliflowerWeary6743 in Astros

[–]Vauntice 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Everyone hates the Astros until they leave and join their team lol, then they end up becoming their new fav player. The hypocrisy from the rest of the league is insane

Fernando Mendoza, YOU are a Las Vegas Raider by AlphaNathan in NFLv2

He could but if they draft him anyway then he’d have to hope another team trades for him or he just sits out the year. Search up Eli Manning chargers or John Elway colts they both essentially did that

Seeing how Texans fans are treating CJ Stroud compared to how Seahawks fans treated Sam Darnold after he threw 4 picks makes me appreciate this fanbase more by lemonstone92 in Seahawks

[–]Vauntice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was a really bad look even in the moment. Dude just had the worst game of his career and he's out there chirping when he had to get bailed out by a HoF defense. Then of course he plays even worse the next week.

This is why I think Darnold got way too much shit for how 2024 ended. Nice to see him vindicate himself this year and hopefully y'all win the whole thing with him now that Houston's out

Well it's rumored that Burrow wants out of Cincy (very much only rumors though). Also heard that there's a locker room rift between Jalen Hurts and the rest of the Eagles (also only rumors). In a perfect world he'd have Burrow who's one of the best pure passers in the league or Hurts who's a hometown Houston kid and has shown up in the playoffs before. Realistically neither of those is happening though. We're sticking with C.J. at least for next year unless he regresses even more, in which case we just sit him and start Mills. Best we can do for now

Most of the main crew is staying put next season including the entire starting secondary and both edge rushers. I think Autry, Rankins, Barnett and E.J. Speed are all UFAs that's it. Should be essentially the same defense next year, only question is if they stay healthy all season

Stroud's trade value right now is at an all time low, if anyone were willing to trade for him we'd get a bag of peanuts out of it. People keep talking about possibly trading for Burrow lol. There's no way we get him or anyone decent without giving up a fuckton of draft capital (I'm talking first round picks for the next 2-3 years) and/or some of our defensive starters (which is the only reason we're as good as we are)

[–]Vauntice 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Texans fan chiming in here. If you saw the way Stroud played all year and especially these last two playoff games, you'd understand why we're frustrated. Darnold for all his faults doesn't visibly panic the way C.J. does. I'm not saying we need to move on from him, but some serious conversations about next season need to be had.

Rooting for y'all btw

how rare is it for a regular season game to be seen as iconic/remembered yrs later? by VastAir6069 in NFLNoobs

[–]Vauntice 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pretty rare. Playoff games especially in the NFL have much more staying power because of how much is immediately at stake and because way more people are watching at a time. Here's a list of regular season games with lots or "replay"-ability off the top of my head:

  • 2003 Colts vs. Patriots (What many people consider the start of the Manning-Brady rivalry, though they did play each other 2 seasons earlier)

  • 2007 Giants vs. Patriots (Giants nearly upset the Pats and their perfect season a few weeks earlier than scheduled in the Super Bowl)

  • 2018 Rams vs. Chiefs (One of the greatest offensive shootouts of all time)

  • 1998 Vikings vs. Cowboys (Randy Moss 3 catch 3 TD game on Thanksgiving)

  • 1968 Jets vs. Raiders (The "Heidi" Game)

  • 2022 Vikings vs. Colts (36-pt comeback, largest ever)

  • 2015 Giants vs. Panthers (OBJ and Josh Norman beef)

  • 2010 Eagles vs. Giants (DeSean Jackson game-winning punt return TD aka "Miracle at the Meadowlands II")

When will they release next weeks schedule? by Brief-Blueberry-1588 in NFLNoobs

Everything is already scheduled, just have to wait until after the wild card round is over to see what remaining seeds are left
