Ziggy is a monster. Leads all rookies in sacks and he has missed 4 games.

7 sacks in 8 games. That would have been a pace for 14 sacks on the season.

I miss Ziggy.

It's almost like we never got to enjoy him as BYU fans. He came into his own, got his shot, and was gone a few games later.

All the whiners about NYC Super Bowl must hate hearing about the Ice Bowl and being the greatest NFL game ever. Would have been awesomer in Tampa Bay. This is one of those things that proves people just love to complain.

Nice sack on third down by Ziggy.

Douger, I would kill to have Peyton Manning at this point. Denver has had a ton of injuries this year, including to their offensive line. Just look at the loaves Colin Kaepernick has been pinching on the field while he's playing with a premium defense, o-line and RBs.

Prior to the Niners beating the Pats last year in December, the Pats had been beaten something like once in 10 years in Foxboro during that month. For all intents and purposes, that was a December game last night.

But it also goes without saying that I'd be worried about Manning playing in cold weather against a defense that knows how to scheme against him. Manning's an old QB and old QBs usually don't play exceptionally well in cold weather. Denver would still be fine because they should still get homefield in the playoffs, but the Super Bowl is in effing NEW JERSEY this year. Perhaps Denver will get lucky and get to play the Saints, but more likely they'll be playing Seattle and Manning is going to have to go against that pass rush and Sherman/Thomas/Browner in the secondary.

I do love having him on my team. I just don't know that the ultimate goal is going to be reached despite how great he's been. And the NFL is a bunch of idiots for caving to New York's desire to hos the Super Bowl. It should be in a dome or warm locale and that has nothing to do with my team, I just think you should remove weather as a factor as best you can.

Look up how many defensive tackles get 50 tackles in a season. He wasn't regarded as a pass-rushing DT coming out of college. And it pretty much is between Star and Alonso for defensive rookie of the year.

Yep. Stars job is to eat up blockers to free up the other guys for the tackles.

[Color Me Badd Fan]

Don't get me wrong as he is playing fairly well, but he's averaging almost 3 tackles a game and has 2 sacks on the season. IMO, that's about right for his draft position. Star is a good player. But guys drafted in the first round are supposed to be good. It's not as if he's dominating or having a pro-bowl type season.

I hate Utah as much as the next guy but as Dolphins fan I am forced to embrace several former Utes as they move on to the NFL. On Sunday the Dolphins and Panthers played and the field was covered with former Ute players.

Panthers
Steve Smith
Star Lotulelei
Jordan Gross

Dolphins
Sam Brenner (started at Center and sucked)
RJ Stanford (special teams player and 4th corner didn't get a ton of time)
Koa Misi(waiting for him to make some type of impact for Miami)
Paul Soliai (absolute monster one of the most underrated D-tackles in the NFL)
Derrick Shelby (been a steal for Miami as an undrafted free agent)


Of course the most important player on the field was former BYU cougar John Denney who is a pro-bowl long snapper.

I wonder what everyone who picked before Carolina thinks of Star's heart condition at this point. The Panthers absolutely nailed their last two first rounders.
