Watching NFL Final on NFL Network and Deion said something incredibly stupid

[Carey]

The whole gameday cast is awful...I wish the playbook cast could take over on gamedays as well

[Corey]

Deion, Michael Irvin, Jaime Dukes, Warren Sapp, et. al = all bravado for the cameras. I really think all these guys sacrifice their knowledge of the game (for Deion & Dukes, lacktherof) for ratings.

Anyone who understands or appreciates football can listen to guys like Mike Mayock & Brian Billick talk all day because they're honest and call it like they see it.

sidenote- I'm friends w/ the guy who was head of security for the Skins in the late 90's til 2004 (while Deion was there). He said there was never a bigger premadonna, frontrunner or worse teammate than Deion Sanders. Said that most of the tough guys on the teams wouldn't say 2 words to Deion and there was little or no respect for him.

Simply put, Deion is like a Politician... full of BS and ego.

Mooch is pretty good to. Notice he wasn't the one shaking his head and agreeing with Deion on that stupid statement, it was Irvin. Mooch even reminded them that the Texans had the number 2 defense.

Sanders ego comes out every time he opens his mouth. Thinks that he has all the right answers. Irvin, well when his eyes are slightly closed, more then likely he is high again. The NFL knew about his coke problem but still hired him because sanders needs someone to agree with him. When they start laughing and yuking it up together, it makes the program worse. Two idiots past their prime telling everyone whats wrong.

[Ngata Da Vida]

I'm sure you all know my love and affection for this blithering idiots on TV/radio who have no clue what they are talking about half the time, and I thought I would use this game as a "Prime" example.

Deion using his crack analysis said Flacco played a horrible game and you know the rest. So I went back over every dropback to see if he had a point. Umm...not.

Matter of fact against one of the best defenses in the NFL he played damn well, especially the first half where he was almost flawless if not for 4 key drops. In the second half the pressure was getting there and they eventually started calling quick throws to try to negate it, but they were still all over him.

1-11:38-2/10-INC- Drops an absolutely perfect 40 yd pass down the sideline to Torrey Smith, he flat out drops it

1-11:31-3/10-INC- Texans got some initial pressure forcing Joe to roll out, throws it away into the ground when his only receiver near him is double covered down the sideline.

1-9:54-3/G-TD-On the 1 inch line fake run throws it over the top to Wilson for the TD.

1-8:13-1/10-COMP- Back shoulder throw down the right sideline to Boldin for 21 yards.

1-6:55-1/10-INC- From the 33yd line drops back and throws it to the corner of the endzone, ball is slightly underthrown into great coverage and corner bats it down in a jump ball scenario.

1-4:29-1/10-INC-Drops back with a clean pocket, throws a beautiful 20 yd pass that hits Boldin right in the hands who drops it.

1-3:40-3/5-INC-Drops back and fires a 15 yard bullet that hits Dickson right in the hands across the middle, and of course he drops it.

1-2:34-1/10-INC-Throws a little in breaking route down the middle at about 10 yards to Torrey but it is a little behind him. Could have been a better throw, that one is on Joe.

1-2:26-3/9-COMP- Screen to Rice for big gain of 23. He sold it beautifully looking right, and then turning back and delivering to Rice who leaked out.

1-1:14-2/7-TD- Play action pass from under center, throws a perfect pass right over the outstretched arms of the corner to Bolidin in the front right corner of the endzone for the TD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2-11:42-1/10-INC-Linebacker comes free unblocked and Joe has to dump it into the LOS to avoid sack.

2-10:56-3/2-INC-Overthrows Pitta about 10yds down the right middle. Announcer said he was under pressure but the pocket was clean he just missed on the throw.

2-2:00-1/10-COMP- JJ Watt just blows right by Oher off the snap, forces Flacco to step up and just dump it to Rice for no gain to avoid the sack. Heavy Pressure instantly.

2-1:28-2/10-INC- Deep down left sideline to Boldin, good throw corner just had good coverage and knocked it away.

2-1:21-3/10-SACK-Drops back and they bring a corner blitz that gets there right before an outside rusher from the other side. Sack. Nothing Joe could do they had him from all angles.

1st half totals - 6/15 40% 80yds 2TD 0INT 97.2 rating. There were 3 drops for about 65 yards, so that easily could have been 9/15 60% 145yds 2TD 0INT 132 rating. Flacco played about as well as you could ever dream of against the Texans defense in the first half, missing on only 2 throws.

3-13:52-3/6-SACK- Clean pocket for a couple seconds, Flacco sits back and looks for receivers but holds it too long and goes down for a sack. He had time get rid of it, but the pocket closed quick.

3-11:08-2/11-SACK- A rare empty backfield look in shotgun. Yanda gets destroyed and JJ watt blows right by him with a swim move and sacks Flacco who didn’t have a chance.

3-10:28-3/19-COMP- Designed screen to Dickson for 14 yards.

3-5:54-1/10-COMP- Dlineman blows right by Grubbs off the snap,(it looked like he was unblocked coming right up the middle that is how bad it was) Joe has to dodge him in the pocket and he steps up and throws a perfect pass to Pitta for a 16 yard gain.

3-5:14-1/10-INC- It was a short drop and quick throw that gets batted down by Cushing at the line. Just a good play by the linebacker to get his hand up.

3-4:27-3/5-COMP- Back shoulder throw to Evans down the sideline for 33 yards. Joe had to adjust his throwing motion to avoid rusher who beat Oher off the edge and barely got it off but put it right where only Evans could catch it. (absolutely amazing body position and control by Evans on the catch too...just a thing of beauty)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4-15:00-2/6-COMP- Designed screen that Flacco got off but defense just blew it up at the LOS.

4-14:21-3/10-COMP- Drops back and actually has decent protection and time to scan the field. No one open downfield so he hits Rice for a gain of 4 coming across the field underneath.

4-10:28-2/7-INC- Moderate backside pressure forces Flacco to move right and up in the pocket and he throws a good ball to Dickson who drops it. Dickson got both hands on it but it was going to be a tough catch the DB was all over him. (Dickson lobbied for a flag to no avail)

4-10:22-3/7-SACK- In shotgun, right when Joe plants his back foot he gets heavy pressure up the middle and goes down for the sack. No chance to do anything really.

4-6:46-2/8 –COMP- Drops back from under center, Oher gets beat and Flacco ducks and dodges in the pocket and delivers a strike to Pitta for 13 yards. Easily could have been a sack but movement from Flacco was the key.

4-3:49-2/9-COMP- Quick slant to Boldin for 15 yards. Good throw on the money.

4-3:04-2/5-INC- Tried another quick slant to Boldin but there was a ton of traffic around himand Flacco threw it high. This was a head scratcher if you watch it, because Boldin ran so close to the LOS that Flacco had to throw it high to avoid all the linemen. I don’t know if it was design or execution but it looked bad all the way around.

4-3:01-3/5- INC- Empty backfield. Tried a quick hitter to Rice underneath but Rice got knocked to the ground before the ball got there and pass misses. Dickson also got leveled by the LB in the same area, it should have been interference on someone.

2nd half totals – 8/12 67% 94yds 0TD 0INT 90.3 rating. Only 1 drop for 10 yards but it would have been a hard catch either way, not really that significant. Only time Flacco had time and didn’t convert was the first drop back, just held it too long.

Dude, thanks for the anlysis. That was great, and illustrates just how clueless the national talking heads are.

[NCRAVEN]

I just saw it.

Has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard out of his mouth. Said it "was an absolute dismal performance by Flacco" and his receivers bailed him out????

What fcking game was he watching??

And we wonder why Joe has the perception he does from otehr fans. Anyone who watched that game could see the pressure the Texans put on him along with WR's dropping balls and barely being open.... Yup ALL Flacco.

Watching guys talk about GB game,they sure mentioned all the drops their WR's had....

[LukeDaniel]

I wouldn't consider the long throw to Smith as a drop by any means. It was a good throw by Joe, but would have taken an even better catch by Torrey to connect. I'm sure this wasn't considered a drop in the final stats either.

[Mr OC]

Joe Flacco's numbers Sunday may not have been great, but the Ravens quarterback handled Houston's extra pressure as well as, if not better than, any Texans opponent has this season.

Texans Pass D, 5 or More Rushers
2011 Season
Reg Season Sunday*
Comp. pct. 49.8 57.9
Yds/att 5.5 7.0
TD-INT 13-7 2-0
1st down pct. 30.2 36.8
* - Flacco 11 of 19 for 133 yards, two TDs

Looks like Neon slightly changed his tune

and dipshit Hines Ward equates him with Trent Dilfer.

All the Steelers have to be hoping for Flacco to fail.

Otherwise, LaMarr Woodley is going to be dead in less than three weeks.

That was hard to watch. I really dislike Dukes.

Whines Hard actully seemed like he was defending Flacco with the Dilfer comment though and added he has a better skilset, but his point was that because of Rice and the D, Flacco does not have to play like Brady.

Pretty bad group of "experts" though IMO.

Ceelo Green, i mean Asshole Dukes is a complete prick.

"Flacco and Sanchez are the same guy"? Really? What a fucking moron. If joe wins a SB, i would love for him to say, "Stick that up your fat ass Dukes" Right on the podium.

In the future I am just not going to watch any video that Dukes is a part of. That guy is a freaking turd, and personality aside, he offers zero insight or comedic value even.
