Playoffs ’08

[Don Wassall]

Eric Weddle's gonna be blamed for this loss. That
kickoff bouncing off his head, and the pass interference
call gave Pittsburgh 2 touchdowns.

Weddle had 11 tackles and was all over the field, but yeah the DWFs will most likely scapegoat him. The punt bouncing off his head was pure flukey (the result of a very short kick); the pass interference wasn't flagrant, but because it was Weddle it won't be forgotten.


Weddle should have been singled out for more praise for his play, but like Jim Leonhard yesterday he was pretty much ignored. Edited by: Don Wassall

At least the Eagles start a white receiver. Looks like I won't be watching any more playoff games this season.

 

[Don Wassall]

If the Eagles (9-6-1), Cardinals (8-8) or Chargers (8-8) win the SB I've watched my last NFL game. I refuse to watch a league in which the championship depends not on sustained effort and professionalism but rather on some vague and womanish idea of "getting hot at the right time." These people are supposed to be professionals.

It happens the same way in the NHL quite a bit. When you allow 12 teams in the playoffs upsets are going to happen sometimes. The solution is to lower the number of playoff teams but that's not going to happen in any pro sport.

 

[Fightingtowin]

So what team should we root for?

I think it's Phily. They have a white receiver--who is one of the fastest and quickest players in the league--their leading tackler is white, they have a white TE who contributes and their second leading receiver is light skinned enough he might fool some people.

"Why is there a black guy passing to all those white guys?"

Sincerely,

DWFs during the Super Bowl

plus Kyle Eckel might get a carry

Ugh, these playoffs have officially gone down the crapper, it's all very disappointing. We now have a real chance of having a team with a black QB (Eagles) play against a team with a black coach (Steelers) in the SB. That would be dream come true for the media.

Of course, both teams are also very white-unfriendly for the most part, save for a handful of white players in caste positions for both teams.

I'm hoping for a SB between the Cardinals and Ravens. White QBs, white coaches, not much of a black angle for he media to chew on for 2 weeks. (even though both of those teams are very much at the top of the caste hierarchy overall)

McNabb winning it all would be an absolute disaster, and throw a fresh lifeline to the whole black QB experiement, which has proven to be a collosal failure.

Depressing times indeed.

 

[Don Wassall]

Just remember that there have been down years like this one before.Over 15years ago the Cowboys were winning three Super Bowls in four seasons with a team that closely resembles the Cardinals, who are the blackest of the fourremaining teams-- white QB, white center, white TE, and coal black just about everywhere else. We were a bit "spoiled" by having the Patriots, Colts, Chargers, Packers and Giants all doing well last year. This year is more like a typical NFL season. As long as I-A is the way it is when it comes to recruiting and the NFL Draft is the way it is, nothing will change, just the occasional less black blip here and there.


What bothers me the most is the determination to make the o-line overwhelmingly black, to resemble d-lines. That's a huge change in favor of a noticeably blacker league and blacker starting lineups. As with every other position, white performance and obvious ability (often dominance) is overlooked (ignored deliberately or because of racial blinders) in favor of the prevailing racial dynamic.

Im rooting for ravens in the afc and eagles in the nfc (even though im a giants fan). I like the ravens because Jim Leonhard is the man and i would like to see joe flacco take it all. I'll root for the eagles cuz kevin curtis is a white skill player who has the potential to be a star if only people would recognize how good he is and he does it without being the "wes welker type".

 

[OldSchoolBoy75]

I'll be rooting for the Ravens next week as well. I'd like to see Joe Flacco go all the way.

 

[Freethinker]

In the AFC its Ravens without a doubt. Flacco is already setting records for his rookie success in the playoffs and a Superbowl would just add to his growing legend.

As long as Donovan "I cry racism every time I face a little bit of adversity" McNabb is the QB, I will root against the Eagles. Period.

As for the game it will end tied 7-7 in regulation (TD's for Curtis and Urban). After the first overtime period ends with no scoring, McNabb will leave the field to the locker room saying, "See I knew there were ties in football". The refs will try to no avail to explain the rules of the playoffs to Donovan. Seeing how the game cannot continue without the NFL's "poster boy" plus the fact that no one is watching this snooze fest anyway, the refs decide to just flip a coin. Cardinals win the toss and represent the NFC.

 

[Deadlift]

I'm less pessimistic. I knew it would be very difficult for San Diego to win at Pittsburgh. The San Diego O-line played pretty damn well; They played their hearts out.

Do you think the Baltimore O-line is going to play as well as the afformentioned against Pittsburgh? I realize that the Pitt/Balt regular season games were close, but Pittsburgh's defense is fresher. Flacco's athleticism has made his line look better than they are. I have no problem with Baltimore being in the AFC title game, but I'm confident that this is the end of the road for them.

I'm going to eat crow and admit that Ben looked good yesterday. That is not a bad thing. I'm also willing to crown Chris Kemoe'atu and Troy Polamalu as "honorary White men!!"

If Pittsburgh looks strong against Baltimore, I will give them the advantage against their NFC Super Bowl opponent. More crow, please! Todd Heap -vs- Heath Miller as opposed to Antonio Gates -- grab the popcorn...


Is FusionFlow the poster AKA Texas Tech?

If so, no NFL team has even a slight majority of Whites on their roster. Don Wassall is correct about his O-line observations.

FusionFlow, let's look at some of the O-lines of the teams' that could have made the playoffs:

Other than New England -- you had New Orleans, Tampa and Buffalo with 4 black starters. The Jets had 3 black starters. The super-obese Carolina Panthers also had 3! I won't even get into the bottom-feeders like Seattle, the Rams, and the Cinci Bengals.

I hope you're not a troll.

 

[Jack Lambert]

The last thing I want to see is "golden boy" Mike Tomlin (the ugliest coach in the league, btw) win a superbowl, I hate that racist moron. Rooney needs to retire, so he can sell the Steelers to someone a little more white friendly. Until than, I will only root for Roethliberger, and the other whites on the team as long as Tomlin and Rooney are there.

I would have to go for Baltimore, but hope Ben has a good game, or else his O-Line will escape blame yet again. Also, Eagles, as they have Curtis starting, a white HB on the roster, and Stewart Bradly on the defense.

 

[speedster]

Why are some of you so hung-up about which team to root for.They are all coal black.It's all about rooting for individual players,the white ones.Speaking for myself I will never again follow a team sport with so many blacks on them and this is why I have lost interest in Gonzaga.Boxing is the best it's white vs black and the white guys win.Beautiful.

 

[White Shogun]

I am really not interested in the playoffs at all now. The only really compelling stories for me would be to see Joey Flacco become the second rookie quarterback in NFL history to win a Super Bowl, or have Warner win another ring. The other story lines are all about black quarterbacks and black head coaches, and I've had enough of that, thank you very much.

Flacco winning the Super Bowl as a rookie just might be enough to overshadow, or at least run concurrent with, all the hype that is going to be thrown at Ray Lewis and Ed Reed if that happens.

Don is right though, if and when the interest in fantasy football dies down, the NFL will see a precipitous drop in popularity. Most of the guys that I know show significantly less interest in football once their team is out of the running for fantasy league playoffs. And most follow a particular team outside of fantasy so if that team is out.. no real interest in the playoffs, either.

Because personally I want to see white talent succeed in the Super Bowl, when the entire world is watching. I think Kevin Curtis having a big game would have more of an impact than 3 white offensive lineman blocking well, for instance. Or even white players getting some sacks or leading their team in tackles. Why? Because Curtis has the stereotypical black skills, thus he'll get people thinking more about the fallacy of black athletic superiority.

A lot of people at CF are rooting against McNabb and Tomlin, but a black quarterback or head coach succeeding likely has no impact on the false stereotype that whites are athletically inferior. A white player succeeding, especially one like Curtis, does though.

So you are rooting for a mostly black team because of one white player.Edited by: speedster

 

[Fightingtowin]

They're all mostly black. So, for the most part, yes. I don't think most Americans are going to notice how white the offensive and defensive lines are. A white TE having a big game may have a small effect, but won't surprise anybody. A player like Curtis having a big game in the Super Bowl will have an impact.

I think fantasy football will peak soon if it isn't already. It's easy to get frustrated because the luck factor is so high in it. What I've noticed too is that the number of injured players has increased the past few years, not the serious injuries necessarily but the number of players who are "questionable." It's very difficult to know if questionable players will play or not on Sunday, and if so how much they'll contribute. Putting a questionable player in your lineup and he sits out or only plays a couple of series is annoying as hell; so is the opposite, finding a substitute for the injured player but he ends up playing and looking as if he's not injured at all.


When you're in a 12 or 16 team league, only one team wins; the rest of the owners lose interest or are ticked off when their team loses in the playoffs.


Another factor is that the internet has evened out the information, so that the casual player knows almost as much as the "professional" fantasy player (and there are those who do it for a living). That makes the luck factor even more prominent and annoying.


Other times the main people involved squabble and factionalize (believe it or not, white men can't get along in fantasy football either). Sometimes new sites are started that go nowhere.


My own observations of fantasy sites is that the hard-core interest is lessening; some fantasy boards I used to check out now and then have slowed down noticeably with a couple now completely deserted.


The bottom line is that there is so much luck involved, most of it bad, and the players so unreliable (constant injuries, arrests and suspensions, inconsistency) that fantasy football has distinct limitations, that combined with bad economic times may quickly lessen its impact.

 

[Jack Lambert]

I'd love for Curtis to have a huge Superbowl if the Eagles make it. Welker had a huge game last year, but I don't think he found the end zone.

Most DWFs only notice skill players, who are mostly black. If they see a white at a skill position, they will think it's wrong.Edited by: Jack Lambert

 

[celticdb15]

Rather have the Ravens and Cards superbowl. Ravens superbowl champs would be awesome for Flacco and i really want some of those white defensive players from Baltimore to ge a ring!

 

[Colonel_Reb]

I kind of hope you are right about FF, Don. Your point about "questionable" players is spot on. I sometimes get aggravated at those drunk white fantasy players who think they know everything about everyone based on having them on their fantasy team. I think many of the fantasy info sites provide as much anti-white propoganda as ESPN or Rivals, and for that reason I hope it dies out along with the Caste System.

 

[Gi-15]

Anybody else saw the hit that endend Cardinals TE Stephen Spach's season and playoffs? That was a cheap shot knee hit right on the side off his knee by a panthers LB, which tore his ACL. Yes NFL, THATS A CHEAP SHOT. Not the hit Eric Smith put on Boldin earlier this year, by accident. But do somebody care? No, nothing was mentioned by the announcers even after seeing the replay, who cares about thoses white TEs? he is one of a 1,000, a big body who's solid at blocking and realiables hands. The panther LB will not be suspended, and you'll never hear about it.

 

[James]

Because the Super bowl is the game with the most casual fans watching, it has always been about the quarterbacks since Super Bowl 1 and Bart Starr. Only one black qusrterback has ever gotten the most glory, Doug Williams of the Redskins.

 

[Liverlips]

Well, it is a disaster but I am cheering for the Ravens. They only start 5 whites but they do have a few subs and white kick returners. The Steelers also start 5 palefaces but they have a racist black coach and fewer non-black subs.

The NFC is a little trickier. With Spach out they could be down to 3 white starters. Eagles were up to 7 whites for the Vikings game but McNabb is a racist.

My ideal situation would be for The Ravens to beat Philly in the Super Bowl.

That's definitely true -- a lot of so-called experts on football and sports in general tend to be fatboy cream-puff types whose only physical exercise is limited to eating a lot of peanut M&Ms and playing video games. Also these types of men tend to get completely shut out by women at bars, so they get really bitter at women in general and become flaming gays.
