2014 NFL Season

Well the MVP is a bit BS in my opinion because football is the most team oriented game, in my belief, even the guys that totally run their teams like Peyton still need lots of help around him, and when lacking that talent around them tend to kind of crash when it matters most. Surely Wilson has immense talent and "it factor" but also is blessed with an amazing team, one where it seems all 53 players are pro bowlers

^ Not to mention like five + people on the defense.

The MVP is voted on before the playoffs start, so the case for Wilson can't be conditioned on Seattle winning the SB.

Wilson is a hell of a player but I think someone like Rodgers obviously has much better numbers (and agree or disagree the MVP is highly weighted by numbers) and I think Wilson is surrounded by a much better team on both sides of the ball.

Odell should be in, but I heard Chris Carter talking the other day and he indicated that a new upcoming great receiver will usually get a "season in the hole" until he proves himself a second year in a row.  Until then the well known guys get the nod.

They are a true team, one that plays great defense, run game, has a brilliant leader at QB, and has depth! That is why I like em, it's not like the Saints or Packers or even the Giants, where the team utterly relies on 1 player. Hey, if you don't want Sherman, or Thomas, or Chancellor, or Bobby Wagner or Michael Bennett feel free to give em to the Giants. We could desperately use all those guys

no

Dang, well...disappointing year from the Giants. 6-10 and all those games they could've had. Arizona, Dallas Jacksonville, San Fran. Even Seattle was tightly played for a while. Lot of blown opportunity, but hey...the one good thing to a bad year is maybe some changes can happen. I'm thinking our DC and hopefully Antrel Rolle that bum. Least things really started to gel offensively. O line made some progress. ODB ends up with 1300 yards and 12 TDs in 12 games. Onto a better 2015 for the G Men. If Cruz can come back to full health, and Randle actually keeps up this playing well...may be quite an offense.

^ Chargers and Atlanta both disappointing. 

I knew we'd lose, especially being in GB, but I'm still mad/disappointed.  I don't think I've ever been okay with a Lions' L, no matter the situation.  And now, we're going to Dallas next week.  I have a good idea how that game will go.

^Someone brought that stat to my attention today.  Made me really depressed.  And I feel like it's far enough into his career that he should have already turned the corner to win some big games.  Maybe he'll be like Romo and catch fire in his 10th or so season.
