mcm1610 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I don't want to jinx anything, because well... growing up in Buffalo you learn to expect the worst, but it would be hilarious if the Bills won it all this year, because no one in Buffalo can even watch the games because Time Warner is duking it out with CBS's parent company in a contract dispute.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 sorry, even during the superbowl runs the bills were never a threat because you had Jim Kelly as your QB. auto-win for any NFC team in the super bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 What do you guys think of all this stuff about the Ravens having a bounty on the Steelers? Specifically Hines Ward and Rashard Mendenhall. Rookie Mendenhall is out for the season due to an injury he received in the Steelers / Ravens game a few weeks ago.

enjoyadrian Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I always feel like "bounty hit" rumors are untrue, especially now that the league fines players big time if they pull off a major injury hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeian Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 i wouldn't mind seeing hines ward lit up. not injured, but just hit pretty hard, maybe knocked out. something like chris tucker standing over deebo in friday "you got knocked the fuck out!!"

Why? Because he blocks unlike other soft receivers? Ward is a solid future Hall of Famer and your statement is classless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Because he blocks unlike other soft receivers? Ward is a solid future Hall of Famer and your statement is classless. i don't want him injured, i just want him hit like he blocks other people. i'm not saying he's not a good receiver.. but a lot has to do with this one hit on ed reed where he knocks him out of the game w/ a hit to the chin w/ his helmet. shit was dirty as fuck from what i remembered, so just want to see him get hit on a legal football play (i'm not a ravens fan or anything either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocore Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ward is a solid future Hall of Famer Lots not get ahead of ourselves here... He'd need to play another 4-5 years of above-average football to have a solid shot. He's 32, so it's feasible, but I wouldn't call him a Future HOFer just yet. Plus, there are only 11 WRs in the HOF (Rice comes up for eligibility next year, so that'll make 12)... there are a bunch of guys who deserve to get in before Ward does.

kirbypuckett Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm not saying others don't deserve to be in it before Ward, but he'll make it in. He holds every Steelers receiving record, has a Super Bowl, a handful of Pro Bowls, etc... There's a handful of folks in and around Pittsburgh sports who have votes for the HoF and they're confident that Ward will be there one day.

mediocore Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 He holds every Steelers receiving record I think that's largely a function of the Steelers typically being a run-first offense for most of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s (the exception being the end of Bradshaw's career ['78-'82]).

Well his two main competition among Steelers WR greats include Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, two NFL greats -- who also belong to the HoF.

Well it's not a rumor, Suggs said it to the media. barely read about this. been out of town for a few days. I agree that Wards needs a good pop to cut his shit out. I mean, he broke a jaw, c'mon.

Well his two main competition among Steelers WR greats include Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, two NFL greats -- who also belong to the HoF. I personally don't think Swann belongs in the HOF -- sure, he came up big in the playoffs, but his regular season numbers were pedestrian, at best. (I think a lot of it has to do with his visibility as a TV personality after he retired... and it still took him something like 14 ballots to get elected into the Hall.) Stallworth was pretty average as well. Granted, like I mentioned before, the Steelers ran the ball a lot more than pretty much every other team in that era, so it kept Swann and Stallworth from accumulating bigger numbers.

dynamitekid Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i'd also like to see hines get lit up. He's the Rodney Harrison of wide receivers. And its going to be a long time before he ever gets into the hof just because there are so many great wide receivers ahead of him that haven't gotten in and at no point have I thought "Hines Ward is the best wide receiver in football"(which is my personal hall of fame test) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Wards needs a good pop to cut his shit out. I mean, he broke a jaw, c'mon. bones are broken, tendons are torn, muscles are ripped, should every player that causes that kind of damage to another get the same back? Its a fucking contact sport, injuries like this are going to happen, and its not like Ward went out with the intention to break that guys jaw. It was a high block that went bad. you don't see anyone going after/a bounty out on the guy who blew out Brady's ACL, do you? Thats far more serious/severe than a broken jaw.

kirbypuckett Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The broken jaw was a freak accident, even his teammates are acknowledging that. I love the way Ward plays the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
