NFL 07-08 Season

[LOSTyears]

:D Its that time again and one of the only reasons I pay for cable. Coming off one of the more busier off seasons I'm looking forward to this year to be even more unpredictable. Time to break out the team jersey's and represent. All rants, raves, and predictions.

Of course I have alot to rave about my Cowboys as I do every year, feel really good about this team this year. Tony's got a better and improved(expensive) line in front of him, same threats offensively. Got some new blood on D to rise to the occasion, hopefully Wade can help out us out in this department as he did in San Diego. Other than the secondary holding up the balls in Tony's court, don't see any other reason why this can't be THE year.

Anyway my first week picks, first weeks are always hard but this one is extremely tough. Even the obvious are not so obvious anymore.

Week 1

*Kickoff Thursday*New Orleans at Indianapolis: Saints Could be a fairly high score.
Atlanta at Minnesota: ATL This is one team I see going downhill but I think they have enough to win this one even with Joey(luckiest QB in the league).
Carolina at St. Louis: Rams
Denver at Buffalo: Buffalo
Kansas City at Houston: Texans The Schaub takes the helm.
Miami at Washington: Skins
New England at NY Jets: Pats All eyes on the supposed favorite this year :rolleyes:
Philadelphia at Green Bay: Philly
Pittsburgh at Cleveland: Steelers
Tennessee at Jacksonville: Titans I'm still pissed they let Byron go, I hope they crash and burn.
Chicago at San Diego: Chargers
Detroit at Oakland: Raiders toss up
Tampa Bay at Seattle: Seattle
NY Giants at Dallas: Cowboys It begins :)
Baltimore at Cincinnati: Cinci Could be close.
Arizona at San Francisco: Cardinals

[Evil_Koala]

IT'S ALL ABOUT DA COWBOYS. Gon take dat trophy dis yur. And if all else fails I still have my Saints and Raiders.

[kenshinbebop]

Steelers, Eagles, Giants, All. The. Way!

I've got tickets to see the Giants in October or November. Playing the Redskins I think.

[blackdragon87]

Ewww...Dallas.

Anyways, I'm expecting Frank Gore to run all over Arizona this Monday. Let the reign of dominance begin for San Francisco. Muwahahahaha!!!

[Caine]

I'm surprised you picked Buffalo over Denver. True, even champ Bailey doesn't have the skills to make himself run faster, but that D is good, and there's no way the Bills D Line can handle the force of nature that is an offensive line wearing bronco's jersey (seriously, does it matter who they put in? they always run the ball well)

Oak-Det is the ultimate loser showdown. The loser should get the first overall pick. Any favorites for who they should pick?

Chicago-SD should be worth watching, and I'd say is the runner up to the opener for game of the week.

Not sure that Cinci beats the ravens, D does generally beat O, but who knows.
I don't know what to make of Panthers-Rams or Titans-Jags

[Mort]

Atlanta at Minnesota- Minnesota, why because I think they may have found a balance between the offense and defense this year.

Detroit at Oakland- Lions because I though they looked good in the preseason and they can pull it off, at lest to the point of a win here.

[LOSTyears]

I'm surprised you picked Buffalo over Denver. there's no way the Bills D Line can handle the force of nature that is an offensive line wearing bronco's jersey (seriously, does it matter who they put in? they always run the ball well)Theres no question bout their offensive line, I'm just not entirely sold on Jay yet. He's got the tools but I gotta see something(beyond just five games).

Oak-Det is the ultimate loser showdown. The loser should get the first overall pick. Any favorites for who they should pick?I don't know why I give Daunte(if he's starting) the beneft of the doubt, he just a dude I want to see do something regardless of how flawed he is. That tough Raiders D is pretty much left unchanged which is why I'm going with them.

[SDAnimeFan]

Detroit at Oakland: Detroit

I am hoping Detroit can at least have a decent season this year. There preseason wasn't bad.

[Depression]

Love this commercial.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxyN7Co0WxU

Would really like to see LT go all the way this year. New coach creates a lot of ?'s though.

[Raziel_MGS]

saints over the colts, at indy? bwahaha, my colts shall defeat these saints even tho i think the saints will win the nfc

[Caine]

I think indy will win over the saints, but it will be a great offensive showdown wither way.

I don;t know how I missed the Atlanta pick. Falcons are on the oakland level of sucking this year. vikigns win

Theres no question bout their offensive line, I'm just not entirely sold on Jay yet. He's got the tools but I gotta see something(beyond just five games).


In case you missed the travesty that is the bills run defense, Jay just needs to hand the ball off. Pass d isn't looking so hot this year either.

[Evil_Koala]

Steelers, Eagles, Giants, All. The. Way!

I've got tickets to see the Giants in October or November. Playing the Redskins I think.

Kenshinbebop, despite the fact that we both own every Pillows song known to man, you are now my mortal enemy. If anything will get me banned again, it'll be this thread right here.

[Depression]

I think the Falcons could surprise some people and prove not to be god awful.

Harrington has never been on a team with that much talent. And we all know even a Joey Harrington is capable of passing better than a Vick.

[blackdragon87]

Saints got clowned.

[Caine]

Harrington has never been on a team with that much talent. And we all know even a Joey Harrington is capable of passing better than a Vick.

harrington's passing ability is barely better than Vick's. Vick had good arm strength, but lacked acuracy/awareness. Vick's running ability is in another league from Joey's.

[LOSTyears]

Think its a bust either way under Petrino's pass heavy system, at least with Vick you got his legs and cannon to improvise. With Dunn as their only ground threat now its hard to tell how their going to end up. Bet they wish they had Matt right about now.

[Evil_Koala]

Saints got clowned.

Sadly, the Saints have the best offense in the NFL, and then a less then satisfactory offensive line...Within 2 seconds Brees can feel the oponnents' breathe down his neck.

[Jae Hoon]

The Saints do not have the best offense in football this year. The Colts and Pats will definetly have better offenses.

Reggie Bush once again proving his vast overratedness.

ATL vs Min: ATL
Chi vs San Diego: Chi
Carolina vs St Louis: Rams
Denver at Buffalo: Denver
Kansas City at Houston: Texans
Miami at Washington: Miami
New England at NY Jets: Pats
Philadelphia at Green Bay: Philly
Pittsburgh at Cleveland: Steelers
Tennessee at Jacksonville: Jacksonville
Detroit at Oakland: Detroit
Tampa Bay at Seattle: Seattle
NY Giants at Dallas: Giants
Baltimore at Cincinnati: Cinci
Arizona at San Francisco: Arizona

Dallas isnt as good as people think, Romo got figured out last year. San Diego will have to win despite Norv Turner, they couldnt have picked a worse head coach if they tried.

Reggie Bush isn't overrated. He's a hell of a player. Dallas is gonna pwn, son.

[Jae Hoon]

Reggie Bush is overrated, he is a good wr but a lousy rb. He cant run up the middle at all. He kept running into his own lineman and was trying to dance to much.

[Evil_Koala]

Reggie Bush is overrated, he is a good wr but a lousy rb. He cant run up the middle at all. He kept running into his own lineman and was trying to dance to much.

I agree to an extent. Last year, when he was still a first year rookie, he couldn't run through the middle too well, because his whole college career was going wide, since the college football fields are wider than NFL fields, so you could run around the defense easier. He needs to work on that, and he has been. But regardless, he's still a good RB in my opinion, and in most people's opinions.

[LOSTyears]

Dallas isnt as good as people think, Romo got figured out last year.We'll see. Everyone does eventually, this'll be his first full season to shine or flop. But I'll stay confident, he did help em get to the post despite growing pains. Honestly with the weapons they got you could be lackluster and still get it done. That punk Eli is going down.

[Naraku]

I think Romo is definitely an above average quarterback, and a deserving Pro Bowler. The only question marks on Dallas are still offensive line, and secondary.

I don't think the Saints will run away with the NFC this year either. I expect that hot offense from last year to cool off this season. Plus, with only an average defense they are going to get scored on a lot. I agree with Reggie Bush being overrated. He can make a big play maybe once a game, but any skill player in the NFL is capable of that.

[Depression]

We also have to give credit to the Indy Defense.

Sanders, Keiaho, those guys were making it happen out there.

[Caine]

^^Romo a pro bowler?
I htink McNabb, Brees, and Hasselback are all better, and would make the case for others such as Bulger and Schaub (I'm a believer in Schaub, though maybe not with that O line)

[LOSTyears]

I'm a believer in Schaub, though maybe not with that O lineHe got it done today :thumbsup:

Brady (22-28, 297yds 3TD)/Moss connection is some scary stuff already, makes me sick >_<

Anyway gotta get ready for my Boys.

[kenshinbebop]

Pitsburgh won. :D

NY Giants hopefull will tonight...GIANTS TD!

EDIT: ****ing snapper...

[Caine]

Wow.
As a Bills fan, let me jsut say that today sucked.
4 injuries, all apparently serious, and a team that can't close.

[LOSTyears]

Pheew -_-; too close for comfort on too many occasions but Cowboys came through, what a ridiculous score. Tony showed some real poise, he was spreading it around like crazy wearing them down. Marion was great as usual, T.O. came alive late but it was well needed, Patrick filled number 2 with no problem.
Giants were alot tougher than I thought, especially Eli he really exploited our weak side. Hope Terrance comes back soon. Awesome first game :thumbsup:

[SDAnimeFan]

Thats one win for the Lions.:)

[Alice Catherine]

Does anyone know the final score for the Giants/Cowboys game?


And I cannot express my joy at the Philadelphia loss. Luckily I'm not at school today so I dodged a day where all the teachers complained that they lost for a half hour before class actually starts.
I'm just waiting for them to lose enough games that they can't go "OMFG SUPERBOWL DIS YEAR!!!!11" Anymore.
For real.


Oh and LOL @ Penn State. Loserfaces.

[Sauron]

Giants: 35
Dallas: 45

[Alice Catherine]

Whoa. KK I'm happy with that. :)

Yay for the Cowboys.

[Sauron]

Down - Up - Down - Up - Down - Up - Down.
The Ravens screwed themselves on that one.

[Jae Hoon]

Does Cleveland have any idea what they are doing.

[Stafal-chan]

:cheers: :punch: GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :punch: :cheers:

[Haro!]

Whoa. KK I'm happy with that. :)

I hate you.

I hope this isn't a serious quesiton. If it is, the answer is: NO.


Everett appears to be recovering, and may walk again.

[kenshinbebop]

I'm very happy that the Bills guy will live and may be able to walk again. No discssion on this??

And it only been a few days. I'd assume, based on what Cappuccino said, that there could be an updated prognosis tomorrow, or possibly friday.

That's good.

[Jae Hoon]

They all cheat lets make no mistake about that. Mangini just ratted them out while collecting the photos from his own guy.

[Caine]

^Mangini is a Belicheck disciple, many other coaches in the league aren't. when you've got proof of your mangini claim, and similar proof for guys like Dungy, Smith, Jauron, Phillips, Turner, Reid, and Edwards, then i might accept a claim that "they all do it"

From what I've been hearing on the radio, it sounds like this is nothing new. Martz and Lewis both had their headphones cut out when playing in foxborough. Weis told Kiffin "we knew all your calls and you still stopped us" in 2000. If all of this is true, then the league's punishment will be not only well deserved, but probably too little.

[LOSTyears]

They all cheat lets make no mistake about that. I really hate hearing that but I have to concede, wouldn't say all but alot do. Reading signs and plays is nothing new, its the reason mouths are covered and mics are in helmets. This is just taking up another level. There are coaches who to do it fair and there are a good majority who don't. Belichick just got caught and fined from what I gather, their even losing a first rounder. Personally think the game should be taken, even though it was the Jets(not a bad team mind you).

On a Cowboys side note, T. Glenn had his 2nd surgery and theres no telling when he's coming back :( But Newman might be back sooner than expected :) They really need him.

Week 2 Picks

Atlanta at Jacksonville: Jags
Buffalo at Pittsburgh: Steelers
Cincinnati at Cleveland: Cinci
Green Bay at NY Giants: Gmen Whoevers starting QB I think the Giants with tough it out.
Houston at Carolina: Panthers Could be alot closer.
Indianapolis at Tennessee: Indy I'm a gambling man and I so want to go with the Titans ^_^
New Orleans at Tampa Bay: Saints
San Francisco at St. Louis: Rams
Dallas at Miami: Big D Heres hoping Tony's still #1 at weeks end.
Minnesota at Detroit: Lions
Seattle at Arizona: Seattle
Kansas City at Chicago: Da Bears
NY Jets at Baltimore: Ravens
Oakland at Denver: Denver
San Diego at New England: Pats They got the blueprints :P
Washington at Philadelphia: Skins Philly always starts off this way, their D doesn't nearly have the same firepower right now.

[Caine]

^The Bills game interests me this week. Logically, the Steelers should steamroll them. Pittsburgh would be favored were the Bills at full health, and Buffalo won't see anything resembling full health this year. The question is mental and emotional. Does the Everett situation make the Bills better or worse?

I always struggle with picking close mathes involving NE. I want to believe they will lose, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Still, Belicheck's cheating won't counter LT's brilliance or Merriman's own enhancements, IF they can return to previous form.

[Evil_Koala]

I believe the Bills can pummel the Steelers. JUST YOU WATCH.

[SDAnimeFan]

Minnesota at Detroit: Detroit

[Alice Catherine]

It's not that I hate or love any team.


My dad will hate me more than he does now if I hate the Cowboys.


And if you live in these here parts you will get REALLY annoyed by Eagles fans.

[blackdragon87]

St.Louis is going down Sunday.

[LOSTyears]

^And they did.

Dat Dallas D ripping Trent a new one :) Another big day for Marion. 2-0 baby :thumbsup:

What a crazy day, Cleveland/Cinci was ridiculous -_-; talk about a Madden score. Favre got it done, Schaub got it done, good day. Weeks like this are why I love this game, can't script this.
Poor Raiders, so close yet so far :lol:

[Evil_Koala]

I'm happy about Dallas, but Raiders game was ****in stupid. Denver is so gay "LAWL HOW DO I CALLED TIME OUT AT BALL SNAP? LULZ." I mean...L2S IMO.

[Caine]

The Bills make me depressed.

[SDAnimeFan]

Lions won again.:)

It looked like no one wanted the game until OT.

[animegurl]

I AGREE!! I was so angry when that happened. effin retarded.

[Alice Catherine]

Eagles home game tonight. *sighs*

If I hadn't already missed a day of school this month I'd try to get out sick tomorrow because I can't deal with them.

[Evil_Koala]

I AGREE!! I was so angry when that happened. effin retarded.

You like the Raiders too? ;_; I thought I was the only one!

[animegurl]

Of course! (it's hereditary from my father.. =_= )

[Alice Catherine]

Who won last night? *naked curiosity*

[Gannon]

Who won last night? *naked curiosity*

Washington Redskins.

[Alice Catherine]

Washington Redskins.

*groan*

I don't think as many teachers care as last year, though. Maybe my English and History, but no one else should...

[Evil_Koala]

Of course! (it's hereditary from my father.. =_= )

Woohoo! I have a jersey lulz. JaMarcus Russell XD


EXCELLENT! THE EAGLES LOST! IN YOUR FACE!

[animegurl]

Woohoo! I have a jersey lulz. JaMarcus Russell XD


EXCELLENT! THE EAGLES LOST! IN YOUR FACE!

My dad got a jersey from one of his friends but, I get t-shirts. :p

I thought the eagles played pretty well last night.

[LOSTyears]

This could be an awesome week, so many underdog threats going on.


Week 3

Arizona at Baltimore: Ravens
Buffalo at New England: Pats
Detroit at Philadelphia: Philly Their looking mighty awful but they gotta win some time, a loss wouldn't shock me though.
Indianapolis at Houston: Indy I swear every Colts game my gamblers sense tingles :P Schaub's missing one of his weapons this week but I'll still root for em to keep it close.
Miami at NY Jets: Jets
Minnesota at Kansas City: KC
San Diego at Green Bay: Chargers
San Francisco at Pittsburgh: Steelers
St. Louis at Tampa Bay: Rams
Cincinnati at Seattle: Cinci As ugly as their D looked last week I still think Palmer can out gun them.
Cleveland at Oakland: Raiders Silver & Black get their first here, Raiders D is alot tighter than Cinci's even if Browns bring the same fire.
Jacksonville at Denver: Denver
Carolina at Atlanta: Panthers
NY Giants at Washington: Skins
Dallas at Chicago: D'Boys Good matchup right here :) It still boggles my mind seeing the odds having Big D the underdog, I know its not inconceivable with Chicago's D as the factor but on both sides of the ball Dallas is more well rounded. Not to say it won't be a tough one for Tony(and it will) but Rex will be in twice the trouble.
Tennessee at New Orleans: Titans I smell upset, Saints are not looking to hot.

[Evil_Koala]

I hope the Raiders don't get cheated again -_-

GO COWBOYS.

[Caine]

^^Your schedule is wrong. the Bills don't play this week, they recieve 2 extra byes and 2 automatic losses every year. this is one of those weeks. (bellicheck could have a stroke, Brady could not show up, and the Pats would still win. Appalachain state thinks the odds are too long on this one. The "Any Given Sunday" quote has a fine print exception at the bottom of it for game like this.)

[Jae Hoon]

Why is Grossman still in the game?

[Depression]

Better question, why is Grossman still a starting QB? He is still the same turnover king.

Glad to see the Pack go 3-0, all while Favre breaks more records.

Chargers fans wishing they had Marty ball back yet?

[LOSTyears]

You know your QB situation is bad when their chanting for Griese :lol:
Tony's doing a bang up job tonight.

[Caine]

It is now safer to be in inner city Detroit than to play for the Bills.

Wilfork should be suspended twice. Once by the league, for lunging late at Losman's leg, and once by Belicheck, for trying to make the Bills better.

In other news, the search for Lee evans has still returned no results

[Alice Catherine]

*bashes in own head*


No, I am NOT going to school today. Seriously my bus stop looks like it's covered in green and white paint. I AM NOT GOING TO SCHOOL.

Oh am I about to go apeshit on my mom...

Go Eagles! I thought the jerseys were interesting, they reminded me of something but don't remember what.

[Alice Catherine]

Yeah the uniforms were fugly.

[lav2k4]

Yeah the uniforms were fugly.

You do know the uniforms were the reason they won.

Also, Lions have the worse defense known to man, but that's besides the point. Throw back colors = lollerskates = win.

No worries, Giants will rape them so bad.

EDIT: See people agree with me about the jersey. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070923141153AAyuyNU

I mean it's like Mighty Ducks 2. That new Jersey completely changed the Ducks frame of mind(**** team USA ROFL) which lead them to win The Junior Goodwill Games :lol:

Imo the Jersey was pretty decent for a Throwback. But that damn Helmet design couldn't be any more generic.

[Evil_Koala]

**** the Eagles.

RAIDERS WON...even if it was usin that same cheap trick that caused them to lose last time...-__-

WHO ELSE WATCHED DEM COWBOYS LAST NIGHT? HEY CHICAGO, REX CHENMAN SUCKED ROMO'S JEWELS IF I DO RECALL CORRECTLY. T.O EVEN HAD A GO.

[LOSTyears]

With the Rams and Buffalo a mess these next two weeks should be smooth sail'n for Big D. Should be sittin pretty at 5-0 when Pats come to town, then its on.
11-5 last week ^_^

Week 4 Picks
Baltimore at Cleveland: Ravens
Chicago at Detroit: Da Bears
Green Bay at Minnesota: the Pack
Houston at Atlanta: Texans
NY Jets at Buffalo: Jets
Oakland at Miami: Oakland Should be interesting if they start Daunte.
St. Louis at Dallas: Big D Injured bulger, no Jackson, red hot Dallas team. Wouldn't want to be them.
Seattle at San Francisco: Seattle
Tampa Bay at Carolina: Carolina Could be close.
Denver at Indianapolis: Indy
Kansas City at San Diego: Chargers
Pittsburgh at Arizona: Steelers
Philadelphia at NY Giants: Philly
New England at Cincinnati: Pats

[Alice Catherine]

Philadelphia at NY Giants: Philly


How dare you. Seriously I'm not even going to school TODAY.

But yeah. Philly is gonna lose. I mean, just because they beat the Lions...

[LOSTyears]

^Trust me, I hate both of these teams but I think Mcnabb's got his groove back. He's the only reason I can tolerate Philly.
Besides I wanna see Eli get smacked around some more ^_^

[lav2k4]

I think Mcnabb's got his groove back.

I loled. What groove? He's the reason why Eagles are terrible.

[Caine]

^did you miss the years when he was their offense? You can hate the Eagles, and McNabb says some stupid ****, but he's not a bad QB

[LOSTyears]

Another great day for Tony :) Patrick even made up some ground.

Congrats to Favre, its nice to see a record broken without strings attached.
Bears and Charger fans have gotta be pissed ^_^

[Evil_Koala]

Oh Lawdy, my Cowboys are doin so damn good.

[kenshinbebop]

Oh Lawdy, my Steelers are doin so damn HORRIBLE.

They had an easy win, but whatcha gon' do...

LETS GO GIANTS, LETS GO!

[Caine]

The Bills won. Our battered D managed to come up with some plays, and between the starter McGee and the backup Greer, do what they couldn't do in week 1.
The second coming of Kelly he ain't, but Edwards did well. 22/28 is good normally, its great for a rookie starting his first game.
Lee Evans was finally located, outside of the endzone, but he was found.

[Raziel_MGS]

mmmmmm COLTS, delicious!

the lack of support for the NFL here is disturbing....

[lav2k4]

I loled at the number of sacks against Mcbad.

[SDAnimeFan]

Goooooooooo Lions!

3-1

[Haro!]

Eagles fudgin' lost again. Steelers lost too. Not a good day.

[Alice Catherine]

LOL @ the Eagles sucking when everyone was SO DAMN SURE they were gonna win.

ANYWAY my BUCS are 3-1! No one gave them a shot, but now look we're leading the south. I just hope Cadillac isn't out for long....

EDIT: **** **** ****! ESPN.com is reporting that left tackle Petitgout and Cadillac are out for the season ;________;

[Evil_Koala]

So...HOW BOUT DEM RAIDERS? FTW.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

God damn Phillip Rivers, the guys wearing red are not your teammates, don't throw them the ball. And when you have LT open on 3rd and goal, throw him the ball. Norv Turner is running that team into the ground. Bring back Marty Ball

[Alice Catherine]

I know!!! How the fudge do they make the Giants look good?

I don't know what that means considering the Giants have won more than one Super Bowl.

[Caine]

^we're talking about the present, not stuff that happened before you were born. The present Giants team isn't great.

[Alice Catherine]

^we're talking about the present, not stuff that happened before you were born. The present Giants team isn't great.

Tampa Bay at Indianapolis: Indy Could be interesting.
Baltimore at San Francisco: Ravens
San Diego at Denver: Chargers No promises.
Chicago at Green Bay: the Pack
Dallas at Buffalo: Big D Ahhh a primetime game I can watch. I seriously need the NFL ticket

I disagree with you on tthe Steelers Seahwaks, and an see a couple other games going either way.

I wish I could say I predict my Bills to win, but Trent Edwards and Marshawn Lynch aren't Kelly and Thurman, and that's about what we need with our defense in shambles, and now our offense is feeling it too, with Price out for the year.

[Alice Catherine]

WTF Philly isn't playing?

Bye week I believe.

Coulda sworn they was playin.

[SDAnimeFan]

Detroit at Washington: Lions

Not so good today.:(

[Solstice]

Not a big NFL fan here but I do like the Falcons. Too bad they kinda suck.

My family consists of Dallas, Washington, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Miami and San Diego fans.

[Evil_Koala]

I feel so left out. I don't have a Cowboys jersey, and I realized I really need one...I went to the State Fair today. Big Tex balls hard "HOWDY FOLKS" and...FUNNEL CAEK. But anyway, everyone there had on a Cowboys jersey. :( I'm so ronery.

[Caine]

at the half, Tony Romo is beating himself 17-10

does someone just hand him a razor and say "do the right thing?"

George Wilson, a 6th string WR has his first career TD, off of an INT.

Ron Jaworski is having the best day of his life.

Line of the ngiht goes to my brother. When I was rewinding the DVR to watch one pick, he came in. My dad said, no tis not another one, we're just wathcing the replay. My brother's respons was
"NO, IT IS ANOTHER ONE!"

[LOSTyears]

How Bout Dem Boys!:P Trying to pull that timeout mess.
It was ugly but I'll take it.
Shake it off Tony, everyone has bad games(even if there record tieing ones.)

[Ikari Warrior]

HOLY CRAP I hate the cowboys! Though that was a douche move on the part of the Bills coach calling a timeout prior to the snap. I hate it when coaches do that.

I was really pullin' for the bills though!

[HSaabedra]

One hell of nail biter that was. Jason Garrett wasn't much of a QB as Aikman's #2 but he's a damn good offensive coordinator. Romo finally shook off his mistakes and came back to put the Bills in their proper place. The head coach needs to be fired so that Philips can truly enjoy his retribution.

[Ikari Warrior]

One hell of nail biter that was.

Agreed to that. I am NOT looking to the later part of the season when the skins play the cowboys.

[Haro!]

Damn I really really wanted the Bills to win. How can you lose when Jim Kelly is there?! Its like insulting and brings back bad memories.

[Caine]

^^why are you so afraid of the Cowboys? They barely beat the Biils practice squad by a point.
George Wilson had an interception. After Geoge Wilson the depth chart goes to drawing lots amongst the other backups
I admit, the Bills were unprecedentedly healthy, with a whopping seven defensive starters (to match the number of safeties and linebackers injured)
The Bills did their best to lose that game, and they barely managed to.
The Patriots come in and demolish us with their backups annually, and Indy didn't even bother running up the score last time; the Cowboys aren't in the same class.

The Cowboys team showed a lot of weaknesses. They may be the class of the NFC, but that's a far cry from the class of the NFL.

[Evil_Koala]

QQ more Caine. We won WITH a bunch of bogus calls, ****** first half, AND y'alls cheap *** trick QQ TIME OUT AS BALL SNAPS. ****in hate that ****. But regardless, our kicker made a 57 yard field goal TWICE.

Be afraid, Shadowcast...be very afraid. Cowboys gon kick serious *** this year. I can taste it in the air, man. TASTE IT.

wow.
the flied goals weren't 57 yards, try 53.
aside form the one call on TO, I didn't see any BS calls.
how is calling a timeout cheap? its a perfectly legal tactic.

Like I said, Dallas is the class of the NFC, but the first class beatdowns we take every year at the hands of the Patriots are in a different class from what happened last night.

I'M SO SORRY. OFF BY 4 YARDS. THAT'S ALMOST A WHOLE LINE, BUT NOT REALLY. It's still more than half the field.

And that's the BS call I was talking about.

Calling a time out as SOON as the ball snaps for a FG is cheap. Broncos did against the Raiders. Raiders did it. And then the Bills did it. They need to make a rule against it, because it's ****in cheap.

And Patriots suck so whatever.

so you had one BS call (not multiple BS calls as you previously stated) that had no real impact?

4 yards is actually 4 lines, but who's keeping track?

Calling a timeout at the last minute has been happening for years. the league sees no problem with it. keep whining, it'll keep happening.

I hate the Patriots with a burning passion, but the beatdowns they lay down are domination in its finest form. They have a better QB than the Cowboys, a better O line, a better receiving corp, a better RB compliment, a better secondary, a slight edge in the front seven, and a better coach. The NFC is the lesser division, with the cream of the NFC crop barely beating the AFC punching bag Bills.

I said a buncha bogus calls, because of the damn timeout. I INCLUDED THAT BECAUSE THE TIME OUT SHOULDA BEEN VOID. And it COULD have had an impact if we didn't ball so hard.

4 yards is almost to the five yard line is what I meant to say -_- that SOLID line, not the lil yard dashes.

Calling a timeout at the last minute is a cheap trick that shouldn't be allowed because it's ****in gay.

QQ more. A win's a win. And this one was a remarkable win at that. A remarkable comeback I should say. I don't give a flyin **** bout divisions. It's about the teams, And the Cowboys are STILL undefeated so what ya wanna do? WANNA HAVE A GRUDGE MATCH? I'll call up my Boys and you call up your Bills.

do you even know what you're talking about anymore?
The timeout is a legitamate call on the part of the refs. they should follow the rules as they are, and they allow for those timeouts. so we're back to one bad call and you hating the rules.

look, you guys won. over an already mediocre team with 7 defensive injuries, using its backup QB, and whose 2 large mistakes were made by players filling in for injuries, by one point.
If Jauron is confusing Romo, what would Dungy do to him?
Play like that against the Patriots and even Belicheck might show humanity and pity you.

Don't worry about us, we'll whup ***. Whupped y'all enough...enough to win. We'll whup some Patriot sons of *****es. Unless you pit the Cowboys against the Cowboys, I don't see any real problems.

I believe too my man, this game can be won. Big D's not going to roll over for them, its going to be closer than their given credit for. Ware and Ellis are going to be on the war path for Brady, as weak as half the secondary is(even though they lead in picks) Terrance not a 100% is still more mustard than most of the guys around. Think alot don't realize how strong and fast the rest of this D is, their o-line is gonna feel it by 2nd half. Julius and Marion have got to have a good game, no questions bout that.
Besides QB and Coach edging them which is a big duh considering ours are still in their first full year, all other facets of this team being better is debatable.
Needless to say its going to be an awesome game and a true test.

Feelin good bout my picks, 11-2 last week ;) more than made up for that dismal week 4.

Think alot don't realize how strong and fast the rest of this D is,

let's start here. Dallas D is strong and fast, but its not the best in coverage

their o-line is gonna feel it by 2nd half. Julius and Marion have got to have a good game, no questions bout that.

they have to have a good game or they will have a big game? big difference there. Pats have a strong, if aging, LB corp, and a number of Pro Bowlers in that front seven. Besides, Romo has to watch out for Wilfork going late and low
Besides QB and Coach edging them which is a big duh considering ours are still in their first full year
wrong. Wade has been a head coach for full seasons. As for Romo, so many wax poetic about his skills, but he's no Brady. He's not Favre, he's not Manning, he's not Brady. Could he be that good? He has the potential, but those QB's each own at least one ring, at least one MVP award, and two have surpassed some of Marino's records. Those three are all guaranteed first balloters. Romo hasn't even secured his spot yet.
all other facets of this team being better is debatable.

then let's debate. TO and Moss are about equal. Stallworth, Welker, and Wahington provide the deepest WR group in the NFL, and Watson is about equal to Witten, though Witten has a very slight edge. Even giving the edge to TO and Witten, Welker and Stallworth give the Patriots the edge here.

Maroney is a fine starter (though he may be injured) and Morris and Faulk provide great depth. Barber and Jones is a good one two punch, but Faulk's versatility, the depth provided by Morris, and the fact that Maroney's a better starter, give the edge to Patriots again. Its close, but the Patriots have distinct advantages.

The front Seven has to go to NE. Dallas is excellent up front, but NE is redicuous. Seymour, Wilfork, Thomas, Bruschi, Seau, Vrabel. That could pass for a pro-bowl line up. The only knock is age.

In the Secondary, Dallas almost makes it, but while Roy Williams may be the best safey for palying agianst the run, Harrison has better cover skills. Samuel is one of the best in the league, and Hobbs is more than capable. Wilson's soliid. The safeties cover skills give the Patriots the edge.

Needless to say its going to be an awesome game and a true test.
I hope it will be an awesome game, but Buffalo should have been a blowout, and the patriots have a history of humbling the proud.

you know where I disagree with you.
Philly-Jets could be one for the blooper reels.
that, TB-TEN, and CAR-ARI are all close ones.

[LOSTyears]

Dallas D is strong and fast, but its not the best in coverageTrue, but if that o-line weakens it'll come down to wether or not he gets the time to exploit.


they have to have a good game or they will have a big game? big difference there. I'm not sugar coating it, they HAVE too. T.O. is going to be covered like white on rice and they know Witten is our safety valve. Our 1-2 punch has to relieve pressure, turning it into a strict air battle is risky.

wrong. Wade has been a head coach for full seasons.Should of been more specific, first year with this team. Belichick has had far more time to tool and tweak the Pats.

TO and Moss are about equal. Stallworth, Welker, and Wahington provide the deepest WR group in the NFL, and Watson is about equal to Witten, though Witten has a very slight edge. Even giving the edge to TO and Witten, Welker and Stallworth give the Patriots the edge here.I'll give em the edge in recieveing corp, without Terry our deep threat is lost and Patrick hasn't promoted much confidence as #2 though he has been adequate.

but Buffalo should have been a blowout, and the patriots have a history of humbling the proud.Yeah it should of been but hey, **** happens. Truth will be told on Sunday bitter or sweet.



Philly-Jets could be one for the blooper reels. that, TB-TEN, and CAR-ARI are all close ones.Yeah with the way Donovan and Chad(if he doesn't get benched) are playing it should be a sight. Titan and Bucs is going to be good, then with CAR-ARI you have a possible battle of the old farts .
Cowboys/Pats aside it should be an interesting week.

[Alice Catherine]

^you should follow the Flyers, they don't even need to win to get suspended (or do any other numbr of foolish things)



That's where I got the whole "suspended" example. Believe it or not, I am a BIT fond of hockey. I'm never TOTALLY into sports.
Because IIRC they won 8-2 against the Canucks but the one guy sent the other guy flying into the ice, stick through face.
It was ****ing great. :lol:

[Evil_Koala]

Fo' sho', LOST. Big game today. Ready to ROLL SON

[Caine]

WOuld it be wrong for me to say "told you so?"

The Patriots have few remaining obstacles between them and 16-0.
The Colts are the best chance, especially if they can get healthy by then.
The likes of my Bills, Miami, and Philly aren't likely to get it done.
The Steelers have a decent chance, but other than them and the Colts, every team would need some serious breaks to beat NE. Not that it can't happen, but they are currently playing the best football in the league.

[Evil_Koala]

**** the patriots. Aint even gonna capitalize the p for em. Hope Brady and his gay lover Moss have a real nice time at the after party...Maybe get a little tipsy...And then they'll both wake up in a bathtub full of ice tomorrow morning. Guess what! Marion Barber took your kidneys, *****es! Goddamn, **** y'all. Y'all aint even patriots y'all are a bunch of Chinamen.

^No dice today man no dice :( That late pick blew any last chances, Tony looked so disappointed. Who knows, we might see em again in a few months ^_^ We were good enough to hang, lets see if they can evolve between now and then. Well with the upcoming schedule looking pretty good Dallas should be able to rebound back into form.

As soon as I saw that **** pick I just turned off the TV and poured myself a shot.

[blackdragon87]

I did not expect New Orleans to give a beatdown to Seattle tonight. I'm glad though because it helps out the 49ers in the division. As a matter of fact, assuming Seattle loses this game, all the NFC West teams except San Francisco will lose today.

[Alice Catherine]

IMO the Patriots should not have been allowed to play this season.


I mean we've had a president resign for the same thing when it all boils down.

Dallas is the team with the best chance of representing the NFC in the SB. That said, there are still a few other teams to be wary of. The Pack could be dangerous, especially if they're looking to let Favre retire on another ring. The Saints, Bears, and Seahawks could all get back into shape. In all likelihodd, one or two will, probably not all three, but I think at least one will regain some of its touch.

And I'

[LOSTyears]

The Pack could be dangerous, especially if they're looking to let Favre retire on another ring. The Saints, Bears, and Seahawks could all get back into shape.Bears still need an offensive identity, their D alone will keep them in the mix. Seahawks are very sporadic right now, Matt and Shaun seem really off their game. Saints I can see rebound.
If Jake were healthy I throw the Panthers in as the biggest threat, who knows maybe Carr could come through. If the Bucs get a decent ground game going they'd be something to look out for, Jeff seems to be fitting in there nicely.
And I'

Indianapolis at Jacksonville: Indy You can never be too certain with this matchup, some teams just own some teams.

No Cowboys this week but theres still plenty of good football this weekend.
8-6 last week, not too bad.


Week 8
Cleveland at St. Louis: Browns
Detroit at Chicago: Da Bears Could be close.
Indianapolis at Carolina: Indy Panthers are not gonna get it done with Vinny. Let me break from the picks for one second to gripe on this growing trend of teams bringing back fossils from the grave. Especially since there's plenty of young talent that need their feet wet, I know its a business of win now now now but somethings gotta give. Rebuilding processes don't happen over night(that goes double for QB's). Back to the picks.
NY Giants at Miami: Gmen
Oakland at Tennessee: Titans
Philadelphia at Minnesota: Philly Don't know why I'm still picking them.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: Steelers
Buffalo at NY Jets: Buffalo
Houston at San Diego: Chargers Wow, they are actually planning to play at Qualcomm.
Jacksonville at Tampa Bay: Bucs
New Orleans at San Francisco: Saints
Washington at New England: Pats I'd be tempted to gamble on the Skins if they had a decent Offense.
Green Bay at Denver: the Pack

[Caine]

^I think the Jags have a decent shot. Bucs are good, but so are the Jags. That should be one of the better games this week. As for Carolina, I think its the right move. Now, if its a team like the Browns or Dolphins, who have high round pick young QBs, I can see it. But the Panthers have an established QB in Delhomme, and a good backup in Carr, but Delhomme's out, there are still concerns with Carr's health, and Vinny played well last week, so it makes sense.

David Garrard is injured and Quin Gray is horrible. If he keeps playing like he did against the Colts, he'll be benched in favor of Bouman who they just signed. Jags might lose their next three or four games. I think Garrard is out at least for four. They need him back.

[LOSTyears]

^Drew is questionable too, not that the Bucs backs are in any better shape.

Now, if its a team like the Browns or Dolphins, who have high round pick young QBs, I can see it.Think the Raiders should do the same with Jamarcus(though I was never entirely sold on him), Daunte's my boy in all but him and Mcowen are not the long term. They need to see what the kid can do. I don't know I guess I'm just bitter about Vinny and what he didn't do for us those years ^_^


We'll have to see about that.Bring it, whenever them Boys come to town I'll make a trip down to the Bay sport'n my Romo jersey proud ;)

[Caine]

****, i forgot gerrard was out. yeah, bucs

Daunte's not a fossil, but if he goes down, I do think the Raiders should put Jamarcus in. On the other hand, that same logic would have had Quinn in for the Browns.
Because the phish are done for, I think they should put in whoever they have (I could have sowrn they drafted somebody.)

[Depression]

Patriots are clearly going for the TD record.

38-0 and they were still airing it out.

[blackdragon87]

Nahlins won? OSHI-

[Smith]

Monday Night will feature Green Bay vs Denver. I'll probably catch peices of the game.

[Caine]

The Patriots are simply being cruel at this point. If they keep running up the score, an injury will happen, and I will have no sympathy.

Next week is the showdown. Seriously, just call it the Superbowl preview, because those are the best two teams in the league, and they'll probably meet in the AFC finals, though the AFC is stacked enough that another team (I'm thnking Chargers or Steelers) could pull off an upset.

The Bills won. They've won three of four, with the loss being that Monday night game against Dallas. The next two games ar cinci and miami, so three weeks from now we could foreseably walk out of our guaranteed home loss .500 (three weeks from now the Bills play the pats, its the guaranteed home loss on the schedule. the guaranteed away loss is, of course, the game in foxborough)

[LOSTyears]

Bills and Packers were the underdogs on my parlay this week, all I need is Favre to come through tommorow to get some extra bread ^_^

I'm clearly rooting for Indy next week, it'll be tough without Marvin but hopefully Peyton will knock them off their pedestal. Screw Boston and their damn teams >_< make me sick.

^I'm hoping you're right bro. This is the one game in the regular season where I'll let myself think that the Pats are beatable.
If they can pull this one off without Marvin...

My Bills won. Huge games for Marshawn and Evans. Unfortunately, Chad took a big shot and was rolled off on a stretcher, which put a real damper on the last 2 minutes of the game.

That was a great game to watch, the NE-Indy game. I was rooting for the Colts though. With NE having a bye next week, I wouldn't be surprised if they did not lose another game this year.

The patriots can **** my big salty black balls.

[LOSTyears]

^Took the words right out of my mouth.
On a positive note its been a blast watching Philly get whooped on tonight. T.O shutting them fans up :P

Hope CJ's alright, like Cinci needs anymore problems.

[Caine]

I don't thik the 72 dolphins have to worry just yet. There are still a few opponents capable of beating them, and while they should cream the Bills, the Ralph has been the home of quite a few injuries this year.
The Steelers have a shot, and the Colts might go into Foxboro with a full arsenal in January. Could the patriots pull it off? Sure, tis possible. Is it likely? Not really.

[Depression]

Also remember a few years back when the Dolphins of all teams beat the Patriots, who looked pretty unstoppable that season as well.

[LOSTyears]

10-4 last week ^_^ I'm hot right now. This weeks going to be tricky though.

Week 10
Atlanta at Carolina: ATL Upset of the week. I know, a long shot.
Buffalo at Miami: Buffalo
Cleveland at Pittsburgh: Steelers
Denver at Kansas City: Denver I'm thinkin Broncos gotta win to keep afloat.
Jacksonville at Tennessee: Titans
Minnesota at Green Bay: the Pack
Philadelphia at Washington: Skins
St. Louis at New Orleans: Saints
Cincinnati at Baltimore: Ravens
Chicago at Oakland: Da Bears
Dallas at NY Giants: Big D With a 6 game streak behind them this'll be the toughest in the division gauntlet.
Detroit at Arizona: Lions You know, when I look at the NFC picture I wonder where the Lions fit in all this -_-;
Indianapolis at San Diego: Indy
San Francisco at Seattle: Seattle
Pats automatically lose to the BYE this week, cause I said.

[Evil_Koala]

Root for Da Bears over MAH RAIDAHZ? Blasphemy, Lost...Not ballin.

ATLEAST YOU ROOTIN FOR THE RIGHT BOYS. COWBOYS.

[Caine]

The Bills are awful. Losman is trying to paly himself out of the league right now. The reffing has been horrible, with some bad calls favoring the Bills now pretty well negated by letting the clock run off even though there was a second left when reed stepped out of bounds at the half.

[Alice Catherine]

*smacks forehead*

So I'm slowly learning about football and I watched the Philadelphia/Washington game.

Srsly. WTF WAS THAT **** ABOUT?

[Caine]

^I didn't see the whole game, so I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'll assume its just you hating the Eagles.

The Bills managed to win, due to the Marshawn Lynch being a friggin tank
Now we're 5-4, though that should be 5-5 because of our second automatic loss of the year coming up a week from tonight. And why do the pats always play the Bills off of their bye week? Do they really need 2 weeks off?

[LOSTyears]

Root for Da Bears over MAH RAIDAHZ? Blasphemy, Lost...Not ballin..You on your own there my man, Raiders are on my **** list. Speaking of that game I did watch bits of it and I'll tell ya dude they really need to start preping Jamarcus, ugly ugly game.

As for dem Boys, Tony & T.O. are like buttah :) beautiful stuff today. Big D is almost done in its complete raping of the east. Favre and company are really the only threat left in the NFC to conquer, looking forward to that one.

Where the hell has this Chargers team been?

Don't be so dismive. It's a night game in Orchard Park.

This s***s, I wont even get to watch the game, stupid NFL network.

And as for the Packers not getting any love from most "experts" s the stupidest thing i've ever seen.

Exp.-packers go to Denver on monday night, "experts" 50-50 on outcome, then next sunday in KC- opx. 75-25 packers lose, reason, back to back road AFC west teams and 2 of the toughest places to play and short week, still won, and nothing on the Viqueen game because almost if not all "experts" pick pack, but say A.P. gets a ton of yards, 11 carries for 45 yds.

I say its about time to say Packers are tied for first in NFC(i say now because "experts" were saying Giants were 1or2 ahead of Packers and Cowboys, even though both teams beat them fairly easily) and wait for DCB-GBP game in a couple of weeks.

[LOSTyears]

I've been fortunate enough to see alot of televised Cowboy games here, they have been playing alot of night games on top of how ****** the Raiders & Niners are doing and taking their time slots :P Cowboys/Packers I believe is a Thursday night game, everyone should be able to see that.
I did alot better than I thought last week, 8-6.

Week 11
Arizona at Cincinnati: Cinci
Carolina at Green Bay: the Pack
Cleveland at Baltimore: Browns
Kansas City at Indianapolis: Indy
Miami at Philadelphia: Philly
New Orleans at Houston: Saints
Oakland at Minnesota: Oakland Without adrian they have a sliver of a chance.
San Diego at Jacksonville: Chargers I wanted to pick the Jags but I'm pulling for SD.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta: Bucs
NY Giants at Detroit: Gmen
Pittsburgh at NY Jets: Steelers
Washington at Dallas: Big D full circle
St. Louis at San Francisco: Rams
Chicago at Seattle: Seahawks
New England at Buffalo: Pats
Tennessee at Denver: Titans

Yeah theyre on thursday but on the NFL network, which unless you have a dish in Wisconsin, youll never get because of the stupid cable companies.

[Caine]

Don't be so dismive. It's a night game in Orchard Park.

The Bills had two hopes: divine intervention and Gillooly (http://www.ryanparkersongs.com/search/label/tom%20brady)

neither one has happened, though a late, low hit on Brady from a Bill would be karma. Still, Kimo Von Oelhoffen plays for Philly, Lewis is about ready to kill someone in Baltimore, the Steelers haven't lost their physical nature, the Giants D-line has a shot, who knows how desperate and mad the Phins will be, and who knows how the Jets will respond to an attempt at payback.

Meanwhile, I'm praying. Divine intervention. Clearly the way to go.


Loved the ending of the Browns-Ravens game. The refs made sure they made the right call, which was nice to see.

[LOSTyears]

My man T.O. on fire! Moss wasn't the only one with 4 today. He caught heat at a good time too, Skins were not makin it easy.
Do the Chargers know how to win anymore, I know its the Jags but come on :huh:

[Alice Catherine]

WOOT! GO DOLPHINS! 0-10 GOIN STRONG!

Gah. Who plays the Dolphins next?

[Evil_Koala]

Cowboys gonna be 15-1.
Ready to whup some Jet *** on Thanksgiving.

Dolphins ftw.

[Caine]

^They might, but I wouldn't bet on it. The Pack and Detroit have a chance, and if they beat both of them, washington would have a decent chance becase the Cowboys would probably rest a few starters. Barring a serious injury, 13-3 would be a disapointment

[LOSTyears]

Yeah, I think the Pack and last game with Skins are what stands in the way of that 15-1. But oh man wouldnt that be nice :) home field should be a shoe in either way.
10-6 last week, gotta do my picks early this week.

Week 12
Thursday
Green Bay at Detroit: the Pack
NY Jets at Dallas: Big D
Indianapolis at Atlanta: Indy
Sunday
Buffalo at Jacksonville: Jags
Houston at Cleveland: Browns
Minnesota at NY Giants: Giants

Denver at Chicago: Denver
Baltimore at San Diego: Chargers

Excellent. The only place to watch GB vs Dallas is on the NFL Network. Major fail cable companies. MAJOR PHAIL.

[Evil_Koala]

My Raiders won!

Alright, time to get PSYCHED for the Dallas game this week. DALLAS VS. GREEN BAY

COWBOYS VS PACKERS

WHO WILL WIN?

Cowboys, of course.

[LOSTyears]

The only place to watch GB vs Dallas is on the NFL Network. Major fail cable companies. MAJOR PHAIL.Yeah seriously >_< biggest NFC game of the season only available on a premium channel. My wallets tight this month so having that package is out of the question, this blows really hard. This even hurts a good chunk of the consumers in Texas. Might as well make games like these ppv, would of they could <_<

My early pick is obvious ^_^ The rest of the week I'm still in thought on, its a pretty tough week for picks. 11-5 last week.
Week 13
Green Bay at Dallas: Big D Glad this game is not in Lambeau, my pick wouldn't change but I'd be sweatin like a mutha.

Last minute picks, just in the nick o time.

Atlanta at St. Louis: Rams
Buffalo at Washington: Skins
Detroit at Minnesota: Vikings
Houston at Tennessee: Titans
Jacksonville at Indianapolis: Indy
NY Jets at Miami: Phins
San Diego at Kansas City: SD
Seattle at Philadelphia: Seahawks
San Francisco at Carolina: Carolina
Cleveland at Arizona: Cardinals
Denver at Oakland: Denver
Tampa Bay at New Orleans: Saints
NY Giants at Chicago: Da Bears
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: Steelers
New England at Baltimore: Pats

[Depression]

I'm 2 hours out of GB, I guess its now going to be on CBS for us. I'm assuming enough people called Charter and complained.

[HSaabedra]

Irony: People are swarming Sprint with new activations in Texas due to the NFL Network being included in their mobile internet plans. Charter Cable in Fort Worth won't be broadcasting the CBS feed to my knowledge...unless they pull a last minute stunt to boost customer satisfaction.

[Depression]

This game is amazing.

Rodgers still doing his Tony Romo imitation from practice. Two scoring drives!

TO pulling a Randy Moss lateral to the Packers lol.

[LOSTyears]

How bout them Cowboys :D #1 NFC.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b243/BarneyY3/1196396608.jpg


Tony's doing phenominal, TO and the D coming through big. Patrick was a game time decision and he toughed it out got us 2.
Despite Aaron getting knocked around he didn't do that bad a job, kept it pretty tight. Favre was throwing some ugly **** tonight, bad timing for that injury.

[Depression]

Rodgers was excellent. He looked better in two quarters than Alex Smith has in two seasons.

It wasn't until Rodgers went in that the Packers started going back to what made them successful in the first place (4-5 wide, slants).

Packers tried too hard to get the early lead and make a statement with a big play when thats not what they're about. They also didn't play any defense until the second half.

TO was beastly, even with that pick he gave up.

[Evil_Koala]

I didn't get to watch the game because I was sick as a motha****a. DIARRHEA, NAUSEA, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS. I watched it somewhat but the medicine kicked in before the game was over :( We won though, **** YEAH!

[Caine]

Baltimore comes so close...

Gibbs had a horrible game yesterday. The skins decided to put 10 men on the field for the first defensive play of the game, a move that neither head coach initially knew about. Gibbs followed up by calling consecutive timeouts to ice Lindell, moving it from a 51 yard game winning field goal (he kicked the first time anyway, and made it) to a 36 yard game winning field goal.

[LOSTyears]

Marvelous >_< now the Boys are back at square one with the Packers. Tony will have these games every once in a while, the idea that folks are blaming Jessica for this makes me want to gag -_-; Philly fans will have something to gloat about for the week.
Anyway, the playoffs could get interesting if the Jags and/or Vikings make a run.

[Alice Catherine]

WHAT THE **** WAS WITH THE DALLAS/PHILLY GAME???

Romo needs to stop taking his girls to games. Period.

I think Carrie Underwood was at the one they lost against New England. And Jessica Simpson was there Sunday.

Also, Miami should be in the playoffs for winning a game at all.

[LOSTyears]

Thank you Chicago ^_^ with the Packs lost homefield has been secured. At least thats one sigh of relief for the weekend. TO should be back by the 2nd round no prob, no need to hurry. Its always ankle injuries with him.

[LOSTyears]

Anyone still keeping up with football, there have been some pretty decent games going on these pst 2 weeks.
I'm still getting over last Saturdays game between Pats/Giants. I was actually impressed with the Gmen, think they might actually be better without Shockey(Eli's still a punk though). Oh yeah and the Pats are still undefeated :rolleyes:

Anyway playoffs start today, anyones team make the cut.

Saturday
Washington at Seattle: Skins The hottest team going in right now.
Jacksonville at Pittsburgh: Jags
Sunday
NY Giants at Tampa Bay: Bucs
Tennessee at San Diego: Chargers I like both of these teams but Titans are seriously limping in.

[Rurouni Saiyan]

1/13/08:

Chargers 28
Colts 24

Close game by scores, but if you see the last parts of the game, you'll know what I'm talking about.

[Depression]

Can't believe Manning couldn't get in the endzone on that last drive.

[LOSTyears]

Both Sunday games were shocking for me but I did not expect the Colts to lose(to second stringers no less). Big D's loss was a heartbreaker, just when I thought Tony was going to pull off some of his magic at the end and the pick came in the endzone, my stomach dropped. I'll never acknowledge that punk Eli, NEVER!
I love T.O. but my man can get so emotional ^_^ "thats my teammate, thats my quarterback." (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mow7gXW0uog) You tell em Terrell.

[Depression]

That was an impressive moment for TO. 2-3 years ago, he probably would have thrown his teammates under the bus, not stand up for them.

As a Packer fan I'm not fearful of the Giants at all. Dallas pretty much handed them that win with all those penalties towards the end there. Plus, all the Giants had to do was bleed the clock with a first down which they were given the opportunity to do so twice but failed (3 and out, punt both times).

[Sauron]

Plus Eli has said he doesn't like playing in the cold.

[Haro!]

Is it me, or regardless of who wins, NE is gonna win the Super Bowl? Sigh if only the Colts won, they (I like the Chargers but they can't beat the Patriots) would have a chance.

[Meggles]

Don't be sad!! The Pats are my heroes!!! I went to see them for week 16. I am so awsome....They will definitley win the superbowl, and they're definitley gonna win on SUnday cuz its my birthday!

[Waga]

Go Go Pats. Eli Manning is unstopable!

[Depression]

Chargers are putting up a good fight without LT.

Defense is really good, its almost surreal because I'm used to watching the Patriots score at will like in a video game.

The announcing is a joke though. On both of the picks thrown by Brady, the only reason I knew they were interceptions was because I witnessed them happen. Simms and the other guy almost didn't even acknowledge them, no enthusiasm.

I know the NFL is behind the Pats, but c'mon.

[Sushikins]

Giants vs. Patriots in the Super Bowl. Somehow I get the feeling that the Giants will get the same beating that the Ravens gave them a few years back.

[LOSTyears]

You know at least if the pack made it I could root for Favre to go out like a champ, but now theres absolutley nothing I like about this Super Bowl. It might in fact be the first one I don't watch. Seeing this punk Eli get to the big game quicker than his bro, this is a bad dream, this season for that matter. I'll give the Giants one thing their D is alot tougher than their given credit for, they'll do some damage to Brady.

You know what, screw this season. It was a great building year for the Boys and I'll look forward to the next.

[pops81]

ITS ALL ABOUT DALLAS COWBOYS!

[kenshinbebop]

Did that really just happen? :)

Bumping the thread, 3 months old, the NFL season is over, and all over the cowboys??? ;)

[LOSTyears]

^HUSH YOU! :mad: His passions in the right place, better late than never -_-;
Drafts coming up, starting to get tingly all over.

[kenshinbebop]

Ha, very well, but the Cowboys??! ;)

Let's have some more Giant appreciation. :)

[Haro!]

kenshinbebop, you just reminded me that I have to take down the Giants sign I have on my window... something I've been meaning to get rid of since the week after the superbowl.
