Holy shit. Can't believe these pissing matches are still going on.

Easy to avoid pissing matches. Simply come on, say the Seahawks are better than the 70's Steelers, Russell Wilson is better than Dan Marino, and the Champs are gonna 19-0 repeat. No trouble at all:L

Or just stop trolling up the Hawks fans and accusing them of starting it.

There's that.

By definition this should just be a list of the top 10 offensive players

No, because some players themselves are only dangerous because of the players around them and/or the game plan is easier to determine against them (even if executing it isn't easy). This list was trying to narrow that down to just the 10 players who alone required the most thought by DC's around the league. It's a subtle distinction, but that's what they were attempting to do.

No Peyton on the list because if you collapse his pocket he's dead meat. Didn't say doing that was easy, but that's your plan.

Newton isn't anywhere near Peyton, but he can beat you with his legs and arm. He requires more game planning. At least according to this list.

:suds:

Its a ridiculous concept, though. 'Collapse the pocket and Peyton is meat' means that the defense is winning at least 2 other matchups because Peyton gets rid of the ball early and he has 5 guys in front of him blocking and a bunch of guys that can catch a football. It also means that you're running a package that he can't audible out of into a run play.

The concept of the OP is conflating a highlight reel with the game of football.

Peyton Manning is a matchup problem.

Is there really any point to any off season list other than to kill time until fall camp?

Define offensive matchup? I mean, Peyton, Brady, Rodgers, Brees and them just make play after play. How are they not considered matchup nightmares? I'm sure DC's lose sleep trying to figure out how to slow them down :noidea:

That freaking AJ Green seems to have a TD catch almost every game. I don't know how he does it. He should have made the list I think.

Easily. He makes Andy Dalton look decent, and that's a tall order IMO.

2nd-best WR in the NFL.

This is why it is hard to have a conversation on this board without it turning into a freaking Seattle thread. Who cares how these guys did against Seattle? Very few of those guys have had much talent around them in their career so teams can focus on them. yes they have had more success against other teams even with them focusing on them. Seattle has been a good defense. Makes sense that they would find a way to stop these guys with being a good defense. Again stop trying to turn every thread into a Seahawks thread. You guys comment about how you hate people bashing on the Seahawks all the time. Well when every thread turns into a thread for them it makes it quite the challenge.

Exactly. Seattle fans are so damn sensitive.

I know right! He just wants Seahawks fans to shut up. Not going to happen, so please quit asking it to happen.
It gets old seeing him bitch about Seahawks fans, seems like he finds a way to fit that in every thread.

It gets old when Seahawk fans continually turn every thread into a "but our defense is better" discussion.

It's amazing how many of you are just not good at this.

The poster in question asked how your team did against those top 10 nightmares and then posted a list of how his team did. How is that not on topic? It was entirely about that topic. :L

Sorry, but that's troll fail.

For some reason that's pretty much all a few of you want to do. Make every thread about hating on Seattle and trying to blame it on everyone but yourselves when you all start it.

Just not going to let you get away with it. You deserve to be exposed.[

Yeah I'm sure you all hate it, along with all the "Seahawks are great" stuff that gets posted, but you know what? Seahawks fans are hyped on their team, so at least for this off season give it a pass. Giving Seahawks fans gas over it, just fuels the fire.
