NFL 2010 Season Thread

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Joey Radd, are you suggesting that it's somehow out of the ordinary for a person to make a sports prediction? That appears to be what you're suggesting. If that is what you're suggesting, that is a really stupid suggestion. If that's not what you're suggesting, please carry on.

[Joe Kerr]

am not suggesting, I can just as easily predict Cleveland in the superbowl...It would also be a rather dumb prediction and i would expect to be flamed. Same as saying Wade philips will be fired next week is a dumb prediction.

[Reavant]

your logic would make sense if dallas going 0-4 wasnt completely possible with the schedule they have ahead of them. The texans are awesome and the titans are strong against the pass and can run it down their throats.

[IC Champion]

Cowboys will not go 0-4. Reavant has a better chance of wearing size 34 pants by the end of the week.

[Droford]

As far as Wade Phillips' Job goes, with the bye week you would have to expect that if they lose to the Texans and fall to 0-3 that Jerry Jones doesn't have much choice but to fire him. This was supposed to be the year they played in the Super Bowl at the Jerry Jones Palace, not start 0-3 and probably finish no better than 7-9 and not even make the playoffs. Jason Garrett is next in line and if they fired him (garrett), I dare say 1/2 the league would be calling him the next day with job offers to be a head coach. Its not like they can fire a defensive coordinator since Wade has that role as well.

I could see them relieving him of the Defense Coordinator role but thats not going to be a big enough shake up.

Oddly enough though, I couldn't pass up taking the Cowboys on a teaser at +9 1/2.
I think the game will play out similarly to what happened with the Texans last weekend in that it'll be a close game decided by a TD or less, but the Texans will definitely win.

Speaking of that teaser, I also took the Lions +16 1/2 vs the Vikings. I saw a stat that said of the 32 games so far this season, 19 of them were decided by 7 points or less. Combine that with the fact that the Vikings haven't even scored 20 points this year and the Lions effort in the 2nd half vs the Eagles and it was a no brainer. Also took the Titans + 9 1/2 vs the Giants. In this case, I think the Titans are the better team and the Giants will be very vulnerable to Chris Johnson running them over, and I think they have a good shot of winning or at least keeping it to within a TD.

[Joe Kerr]

your logic would make sense if dallas going 0-4 wasnt completely possible with the schedule they have ahead of them. The texans are awesome and the titans are strong against the pass and can run it down their throats.

Texans Defense isnt that impressive, yes they rushed peyton Manning alot but they also let him throw for 477 yds. They squeaked by the skins had the skins not missed the feild goal texans could be 1-1. Texans offense has been good but now Andre Johnson is hurt and questionable against Cowboys i dont see them being as impressive. I hate the Cowboys but you have made me cheer for them over the texans this week.





on a side note Doogie howser...err..i mean Reavant neg repped me 3 times in here for my opinon, didnt know he wanted Matt Shaubs cock so bad, Douche bag.

[Droford]

Peyton threw for 477 yards because they were down like 2 TDs and the colts completely abandoned the running game after about the 1st quarter. McNabb threw for 400 yards because the Redskins couldnt run the football. The Texans have only allowed 62 yards rushing, and I dont see the Cowboys and their 3 headed puppy dog of Barber/Jones/Choice doing much better.

No team in NFL History has allowed 3 QBs consecutively to throw for 400+ yards. I just think that the Texans will be able to run the ball with Foster, control the clock and keep Romo off the field. Romo isn't Peyton Manning and when he's forced into the same situation he'll throw at least one, if not two picks.

[Reavant]

LOL I said the texans are awesome and now im a die-hard texans fan that is in love with shaub! ..... again proving my point that your oblivious because all you have to do is look at my sig to see what my sad depressing team is...

[Reavant]

i negged you for giving droford heat when you didnt understand what he was saying and i negged you twice more in response to the two negs and one pos you sent to me... thats how i roll

[Reavant]

lol... doesnt it say something on your sig about fighting on the internet being retarded? i found that interesting.

[Reavant]

its not on my sig...

[Joe Kerr]

Should expect it from a failure..i mean Bills fan...you know the only team to fail 4 straight years in a row in the superbowl.

[Reavant]

only team to ever get there 4 years in a row

[Joe Kerr]

and lose...great argument..also disturbing you have pictures of Lance Bass on your computer, probably for them lonly nights huh:naughty:


on a side note i'll be the better man and delete my spam

[Reavant]

Unlike you I am a man because i own up to what i do so my spam stays... unless a mod feels the need to delete it

[Joe Kerr]

Other than Cowboys texans what games are we looking for. Personaly Im looking forward to the Dolphins smacking the jets around. Obviously im looking forward to the Eagles and Jaguars..Vicks got the spot dont mess up:rant:

[RoXer]

Looks like some good posts

I'll read them when I can focus

[Reavant]

bears/packers

saints/falcons

[Crimson]

I think Bush out for the Saints is pretty big. Falcons in an upset..or are they favored? :|

[Requiem]

Joey Radd in here takin all the heat.

GO COLTS!

[McLegend]

LOL

[Joe Kerr]

yeah, Taking all the heat for a team i could careless about...

i was able to trick a guy in my fantasy league to take Reggie Bush and give me Rashard Mendenhall. He is going to be pissed when he sees bush is done. Best case scenario he comes back toward the end of the season.

[OssMan]

Only 'i couldn't careless' makes sense. It means you couldn't careless, like it says. See?

[Droford]

I think Bush out for the Saints is pretty big. Falcons in an upset..or are they favored? :|

Saints I think are - 5 1/2. Reggie Bush out isn't much of a factor. Turner's hamstring issue is a factor for the Falcons though...if they can't run the ball they dont stand much of a chance and they already lost Norwood for the year and would be relying on Snelling, who had a decent fill in game vs the Cardinals but its the Cardinals..last time I checked the Saints defense was a bit better.

The 5 1/2 is low, I think the Saints win it easy and Im laughing at the people picking the falcons. OOH the falcons beat the Cardinals last week 41-7..doesn't mean a thing. If it were in Atlanta where the Falcons seem to play a little bit better it could be closer but they'd still lose.

[Joe Kerr]

Assman, my english teacher would have been proud of you. :D


Except it wasn't your post:(

[Ermaximus]

Really hoping the Jaguars play a good game against Vick and the Eagles, but who am I kidding? At least the Skins have a good chance of winning this week.

[Joe Kerr]

Cant wait for October 17th


Eagles vs. Falcons you know that game is getting hyped!

[Jeritron]

I think fans from other markets may underestimate the media obsession with the Cowboys in Dallas, and the shitstorms their failures cause.
Them going 0-2 is absolute chaos in the media down there already. I have witnessed it and heard a lot about how ridiculous it is, as my brother lives in Dallas.

[Jeritron]

Really hope it's not another year of inconsistent play from The Pats. Especially in the second half. Last week was annoying as shit.

Other than that I'm looking forward to the prospect of The Cowboys going 0-3.
Would love to see the Vikings lose again too but I doubt it this week

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cowboys going 0-3 would salvage my Sunday even if the Giants were to lose.

Kornheiser was saying on PTI last night that the NFL can't be happy with the Cowboys struggling, and that they NEED them in the Super Bowl. Ridiculous.</font>

[Reavant]

I dont get why guys like Kornheiser think or say that shit. Whats so important about the Cowboys in the overall importance of the league?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Because in other sports it's beneficial for the league when teams like the Yankees, Lakers, and Red Wings are good because more people will watch. But in the NFL it doesn't mean shit.

[McLegend]

It still means something. Doesn't mean as much though.

[Reavant]

No I get that, but Dallas isnt the biggest market out there. I mean jerry jones is dumping money into them and texas is insane when it comes to football, but Houston is a bigger city so shouldnt they be happier with them doing good? Wouldnt the league do better with a new york team doing good?

[IC Champion]

I dont get why guys like Kornheiser think or say that shit. Whats so important about the Cowboys in the overall importance of the league?

Because they're America's Team, and you either love them or hate them, either way people seem to care.

[McLegend]

Dallas Cowboys are more popular then the Texans and therefore would cover more markets over the country.

You know since they are America's team and all.

[IC Champion]

No I get that, but Dallas isnt the biggest market out there. I mean jerry jones is dumping money into them and texas is insane when it comes to football, but Houston is a bigger city so shouldnt they be happier with them doing good? Wouldnt the league do better with a new york team doing good?

Cowboys fanbase dwarfs the Texans, and every other one that isn't the Steelers.

[Reavant]

I dunno... the Bears have a pretty huge fanbase as well if theyd only decide to play consistent.

[Joe Kerr]

Cowboys fanbase dwarfs the Texans, and every other one that isn't the Steelers.

Past few years the Colts fan base has really soared. Ironically the Pats have declined. The patriots have pretty much become the most hated team unles you live around Boston.

[IC Champion]

I dunno... the Bears have a pretty huge fanbase as well if theyd only decide to play consistent.

Cowboys and Steelers are both bigger. Chicago has a bigger home market, but nationally Cowboys and Steelers are easily the biggest.

[IC Champion]

The Bears went to the Superbowl 4 years ago, Dallas have won a single play-off game in 14 years. So I don't think consistincency plays much of a factor.

[Reavant]

dallas consistently gets to the playoffs.... the bears show a little glimmer of light every four years and then miss the playoffs and/or have losing records until another hot year

[IC Champion]

Dallas started making them the last 4 years, before that they are absolutley awful.

They might make the playoffs, but in the last 10 years have won one playoff game.

[Droford]

The man on the Right, Ben Maller host of the weekend overnight radio show from 1-6 am on FOX Sports Radio, is the reason why the Cowboys are 0-2 and going to suck this year. He gets callers to pick a team to be a fan of every year before the season starts and this year he rigged the vote to get the Cowboys. With the exception of the 2007 Titans that managed to get a Wild Card berth, the other two teams (08 Jets with Favre and 09 Chiefs) had bad years. But there's good news, as each team he has been a fan of has had a great year the next year (07 Titans that went 13-3 in 08, 08 Jets that went to the AFC Title game last year and the 09 Chiefs that are 2-0 so far)

Its the curse of the Benbino!

[Joe Kerr]

LOL Cooler tom Schuler is mad at me for saying the Dolphins are going to smack the Jets around.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I don't care about the Dolphins or Jets. I was just remarking on the fact that you're a terrible poster.

[Joe Kerr]

On the post where I said the game im looking forward to is the Dolphins smacking the Jets around? You sir are a bad reader. :lol:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

this thread has gotten incredibly douchy in the past couple days

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

On the post where I said the game im looking forward to is the Dolphins smacking the Jets around? You sir are a bad reader. :lol:

I'm a Packers fan, I believe they've already done their job by screwing up the Eagles for the year.

Anyway, I had been reading all of your awful posts, and since most of them disappeared, I repped you on some random shit.

Have a nice day.

[Team Sheep]

Can't wait for tonight. Love Dolphins/Jets games.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

what's Jumbo Elliot doing tonight

[Team Sheep]

Buttering his fingers.

[OssMan]

Last time the Giants played the Titans I'm pretty sure was the game where the Titans were down 21-0 in the 4th quarter Mathias Kiwanuka had Vince Young wrapped up for a sack on 4th down or something and drove him back like 10 yards and then let go of him because the refs always blow that play dead 100% of the time and then Vince Young was able to scramble and throw a first down and they went on to win that game. I think that was the worst I have ever felt after a loss. I am "still bitter about it."

I have a feeling Chris Johnson is going to destroy the Giants today.

[CSL]

HAKEEM NICKS ALLLLLL DAAAAAAYYYYY

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Not really thrilled that Linval Joseph is inactive for the 3rd straight week. He looked good in pre-season, I wanna see what he can do. He's gotta be better than Rocky Bernard.</font>

[CSL]

If you don't have Redzone/can't watch it and wanna be able to watch a bunch of games, Game Pass on NFL.com is free for the weekend, you just have to sign up and then cancel before the 30th I believe.

[CSL]

After reading some more, I think Redzone and NFL Network come with Game Pass. Bonus.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hope the Bengals don't poop their pants today on the road against a shitty team. They seem to do that.

[McLegend]

Lol Giants receviers have to have the most dropped passes that lead to interceptions.

Great to see

[Nervous Ferret]

lol Eli :$. I really have grown to like him over the years

[OssMan]

Hey Kiwanuka finally got his sack of Vince Young

[Nervous Ferret]

7INTs in 9 quarters

[CSL]

lol 'that little fucker' Woodhead just ran a TD in for NE

[IC Champion]

Jesus, mistakes and penalties follow Dallas no matter what.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Eli's had some horrible luck with INTs this year. Yeah the one in the endzone was really stupid but other than that the vast majority of his INTs have been off of deflections and the like.

They showed some fight to tie it up. I'm half-expecting a brawl to break out in the second half.</font>

[IC Champion]

WHOOOAAA a seven point lead at half niggas.

[IC Champion]

Eli made one play during that run, the front 4 are the reason New York Giants won that superbowl. I hate the Giants, but that was probably the best run a d-line has had in 20 years.

[IC Champion]

Instant Classic you come off as a real cocksucker. I'm sure that's not your intention, so I thought you should know.

Meh, ya can't win em all.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Meh, ya can't win em all.
That is the exact type of uppity, cocksucker response I would expect. Perhaps this is intentional.

[Innovator]

Giants really don't want to win this game.

there better have been an injury

I'm playing as the Bills, trying to 'turn them around'. Fitzpatrick threw like 8 picks in 2 games and I'd rather dig up Norm Van Brocklin and leave his bones under centre than play Trent Edwards so Brohm it is :(

Roy Williams for a 63 yard TD. Yes, Roy Williams.

[Reavant]

well.... dallas no longer needs to freak out. aaaaaand fuck you Pittsburgh for lighting up the scoreboard with a 3rd string qb

[IC Champion]

lol, fuckin charlie batch.

New england is garbage on defense this year, giving up 30 to the bills.

[Joe Kerr]

The Cowboys are going to get torched this weekend by the Texans. Wade Philips gets fired during the bye week and then Chris Johnson runs them the fuck over in week 5. ZERO AND FOUR

your logic would make sense if dallas going 0-4 wasnt completely possible with the schedule they have ahead of them. The texans are awesome and the titans are strong against the pass and can run it down their throats.

.....You were spot on :lol:

[Reavant]

haha droford wasnt. I was.

[RP]

Peyton Manning is going to make to rain in Denver.

[Reavant]

but im glad you are one of those people that can completely ignore what was written and spin it in your own head to make you feel like you "got" me

Peyton Manning is going to make to rain in Denver.

Ill be flipping between that and Eagles / Jaguars


In the Indy game im Hoping Austin Collie gets the ball alot, I have him and Peyton on my team

The fucking Fox NFL mobile update has no other purpose than to put some girl who is supposed to be attractive on TV for 15 seconds.

WTF 49ers. Thought this was "their year". Terrible. The only team to let me down in an accumulator too :nono:

Steven Jackson, steven

[OssMan]

Holy shit anybody see Fat Brett Favre on the Rams sideline

[Joe Kerr]

Where the hell did Mike wallace come from he torched me today. Ironicaly i have Hines ward who other than a touchdown didnt do shit today.

[Team Sheep]

Lol Hartley.

[Emperor Smeat]

I should be worried about the defense giving up too many points to the Bills but at the same time the defense is very young and expected to get even younger after next year's draft.

At least the Patriots managed to score and do well in the 2nd half unlike the 1st two weeks and kept costly turnovers and penalties down.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hate to say it but the Giants just simply aren't that good. Way too many fundamental mistakes. A shame really since Eli looked awesome except for that boneheaded pick.

I may be going to next week's game against the Bears. Fucking hate night games, but my choices for games to go to this year are limited. Better to go now before their season becomes completely irrelevant.</font>

[IC Champion]

I wish I could go to a game:'(

Garrett Hartley will cost them a game at some point this season


Mad props for peering into the future.

How the hell did he miss from 29 FUCKING YARDS OUT?!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

OMG I DON'T KNOW%!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

FUCK

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL when Vick threw a TD pass near the end of the first half you could see Kolb throw his hands up in the air like YES! And when he put them down you could tell he was thinking "fuck :( I'm not starting again anytime soon"</font>

[McLegend]

The Michael Vick experience is making this look pretty easy.

[Juan]

Tried watching that niners game today. Didn't work out too well.

Hopefully the Raiders can pull it off

Yeah, but that's jacksonville.

[Crimson]

Saints I think are - 5 1/2. Reggie Bush out isn't much of a factor.

The 5 1/2 is low, I think the Saints win it easy and Im laughing at the people picking the falcons. OOH the falcons beat the Cardinals last week 41-7..doesn't mean a thing.

Note; I picked Atlanta:D

[CSL]

More expert analysis from Droford.

[owenbrown]

Broncos should have took the FG on that drive

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently ESPN is reporting Braylon Edwards wasn't punished because he was arrested and got a DWI but because he managed to get arrested late at night.

"We felt he didn't deserve to start based on the fact that ... not for the arrest as much as going out and being out until 5 in the morning," Tannenbaum said Sunday morning as a guest of Ian O'Connor on 1050 ESPN Radio.

In terms of the hour of arrest, the players didn't have a curfew. In fact, the Jets didn't have practice Tuesday -- it was a mandatory day off for the players.

As of right now he's only pulled as a starter but could play depending on the situation in the game (aka Jets loosing).

http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5618395

[FearedSanctity]

I'd have been less pissed about that 4th down attempt if Orton's throw hadn't landed 5 yards away from the receiver

All I need is the chargers to win since I took a teaser to get them + 1/2.

[CSL]

lol this will be the Rams first home win in 14 games. How is there anybody in that stadium?

[RP]

you bet 1k on a 9 team parlay? I hope you lose. Thats retarded.

[Ermaximus]

Umm RP, or the poster formerly known as RP, I just wanna say, Austin Collie is a magnificent bastard.

[RP]

Collie is amazing. He was great in the playoffs last year. He had a great rookie year. He might go to the Pro Bowl this year. I'm pretty sure Garcon officially lost the starting WR spot today.

[CSL]

As well as sounding like a charming breed of dog.

[CSL]

"Yeah, I have a pet, a dog actually. His name is Beansy, he's an austin collie."

[Ermaximus]

Collie is amazing. He was great in the playoffs last year. He had a great rookie year. He might go to the Pro Bowl this year. I'm pretty sure Garcon officially lost the starting WR spot today.

That's fine with me as Collie is on my fantasy team and the guy I was playing has Garcon. He called me a bitch because I picked Collie up off waivers 2 weeks ago. :D

[D Mac]

Chiefs will shut him down.

[Droford]

you bet 1k on a 9 team parlay? I hope you lose. Thats retarded.

No, I bet $50 to win $1,000

[Ermaximus]

Chiefs will shut him down.

I have Jamaal Charles too if it makes you feel any better? Fuck Thomas Jones.

[RoXer]

Cards win Cripplebattle '10

[Ermaximus]

If San Diego loses to Seattle I'm going to laugh my ass off seriously.

Hope so.

[Skippord]

I'm playing as the Bills, trying to 'turn them around'. Fitzpatrick threw like 8 picks in 2 games and I'd rather dig up Norm Van Brocklin and leave his bones under centre than play Trent Edwards so Brohm it is :(
Trent Edwards is my back up quarterback on my game, I'm one injury away from ending that franchise

[Ermaximus]

WTF was that shit call?

[Ermaximus]

ROFL. Chiefs are so winning the AFC West this year.

[D Mac]

:cool:

[D Mac]

Yeah, I won't count my chickens before they hatch. KC has let us down many times. :(

[Droford]

I hate Norv Turner

that is all

[Ermaximus]

Still can't believe the Steelers are 3-0 WITHOUT Roethlisberger. I mean, Charlie fucking Batch? For real?

[Droford]

and Id be surprised if they aren't 4-0 after next week. I really can't see the Ravens beating them in pittsburgh sadly.

[Ermaximus]

Flacco got his groove back today though.

Pretty Surreal that Michael Vick is the starting Qb for the Philadelphia Eagles

[CSL]

Alex Flanagan's voice makes my ears bleed.

Didn't take long but Saints already looking at a new kicker for the team starting tomorrow.

John Carney gets a tryout tomorrow and the team is going to decide whether to take him or keep Hartley for another week.

holy shit at that punt block

[OssMan]

Aright what's going on in this game

[RoXer]

Jets had a chance to go up by 9 and put the game away

<font color=goldenrod>It's really sad to see how far the Giants' line has fallen. I remember that game in Dallas just last year where they were trucking everybody on the game-winning drive. It was a great run they had, but now 4 of them are 30 or older. Time to let the younger guys get some playing time. Andrews should definitely be getting some starts now, and if Beatty comes back healthy he should too.

Diehl-Andrews-O'Hara-Snee-Beatty

Definitely try to grab a center in the 2011 draft since I'm really not sold on Koets.</font>

[Gonzo]

Yeah, I echo Vito on that.

Maybe an older line could work with a finesse scheme, but that really isn't the Giants style, and it's clearly shown through the first few games.

Also, wtf was up with that Futbol Americano bullshit? Nuevo de York Jets or whatever? Completely retarded. It's Sunday Night Football, for fuck's sake.

At the end of the day I'm always very tempted to quote all of the posts where people made super-confident predictions that turned out to be wrong.

fuck the Jets

Hey now, I was totally right about the Titans at least, and I will stick by my assertion that in 2 weeks Chris Johnson's gonna run all over the Cowboys.

[Droford]

The Steelers come out of the bye after the Ravens game with a game with the Browns, but then they play the toughest stretch of games @Dolphins/@Saints/@Bengals/Patriots. The toughest part is the fact that the first 3 are on the road in a row which will be brutal for any team and the last 3 are all primetime games. Granted at the end of the year people might look back and see they beat the Titans and Falcons who both look to be playoff contenders now, but the Steelers season is going to ride on those 4 games.

It would be funny if they manage to go 4-0 w/o Big Ben, 5-0 to start and then struggle with him as QB in that tough road game stretch.

[Team Sheep]

God that Jets game wasn't pretty defensively but it's a hell of a win. Showed great character to pull that one out. The Dolphins just play the Jets so well. Kyle Wilson was a bit of a deer in the headlights at times. Had more faith in the offense last night. Maybe I'm still talking too soon but I no longer watch Sanchez step back into the pocket and brace myself for something ugly. He's really bossing people around on the bench now too, cool to see his confidence growing.

<font color=goldenrod>Week 4's Schedule looks pretty weak on paper:

San Francisco at Atlanta
Cincinnati at Cleveland
NY Jets at Buffalo
Seattle at St. Louis
Denver at Tennessee
Detroit at Green Bay
Baltimore at Pittsburgh
Carolina at New Orleans
Indianapolis at Jacksonville
Houston at Oakland
Washington at Philadelphia
Arizona at San Diego
Chicago at NY Giants
New England at Miami

Trap games aplenty?</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Trent Edwards released

Is there really any way the Bills are stupid enough to NOT go QB in the first round next year? They should want to have the best record so they could get Jake "The Hurt" Locker</font>

[RP]

I bet Carolina signs Edwards

[Hanso Amore]

Like I hated Edwards.


Everyone is glad he is gone. But It angers me that the "BRAIN" trust went through this offseason, ignored the spot and were like "THis is out guy!".

THen cut in week 3.

Good job there.

[ClockShot]

3 games into the season and the axe is swinging.

49ers fire Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye, a day after Singletary said his job was safe for the remainder of the season.

[IC Champion]

Singletary probably has no say at this point, he's probably next. Hopefully the cowboys hire him as defensive cooridinator at the end of the season when Wade and company get the axe.

[Ermaximus]

At this point, I'd rather have Trent Edwards than that piece of shit David Garrard.

[Kris P Lettus]

Hartley got too much pussy this offseason..

I'm loving the fact he's going to be replaced by the guy he replaced.

Completely blown up by the media.. Sean Peyton said today they were NOT bringing in any kickers to replace Hartley.. They are rehiring Carney to "coach him up".. They did the exact same thing last year..

[Droford]

On September 1st if anyone would have said that the only undefeated teams left going into October would be the Chiefs, Bears and Steelers I think someone would have had them committed to an insane asylum.

Now..on to the most important thing..

Having not learned my lesson by missing out on $1,000 by Norv Turner being an idiot, Im going back to the well, twice as hard with another 9 team teaser parlay this time for $100 to win $2,200..cause thats how I am...really stupid.

Anyway..

San Francisco at Atlanta - 1.5
Cincinnati +2.5 at Cleveland
NY Jets + 1.5 at Buffalo
Seattle + 4.5 at St. Louis
Denver at Tennessee - .5
Detroit at Green Bay (estimated to be -13.5 plus the 6 pt teaser=-7.5)
Carolina + 19.5 at New Orleans
Indianapolis -1.5 at Jacksonville
Washington at Philadelphia -.5

The only wacky looking pick is Carolina + 19.5, but the way I see it, the Saints haven't been blowing anyone out of the water this year and history is on my side as 9 of the last 13 meetings have been won by the road team outright (though I really don't expect the Panthers to win, I just don't think the Saints will win by 20 points)
The great part about getting a jacked up line close to 3 TDs in the NFL is that its not that common for teams to blow out by that many as they'll call off the dogs and run the football to eat clock to speed up the game and plus the team thats down usually finds away to score garbage points late.

I was thinking about going with the +19.5 on Detroit vs Green Bay but I cant pull the plug even though Detroit covered a +16.5 this past weekend for me vs the Vikings by losing 24-10. If the line on GB moves higher than what I expect it to be (-13.5) and pushed the teaser on the Lions up to over +20 points I might change my mind.

[DaveWadding]

lol Dez Bryant:

The bill came due for Dez Bryant's refusal to carry Roy Williams' shoulder pads in training camp, and the rookie was stuck with the Cowboys' tab at a local steakhouse Monday night.
Williams got his revenge to the tune of a whopping $54,896 tab at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Bryant invited the offensive players out, and Williams told the defense to come along as well.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit. Now I really do want to go on Sunday night. Giants are unveiling a Ring of Honor. Michael Strahan, Bill Parcells, Pete Gogolak, Phil Simms, Frank Gifford, and Tiki Barber have been confirmed to be on it. The other 24 will be announced at halftime.

What a shame though that some are questioning whether or not LT will be on it. I don't care what he did off the field, it'd be a crime to leave off arguably the best defensive player of all time.</font>

All that over refusing to carry shoulder pads? Freaking ridiculous.

[CSL]

Ridiculous if he was a regular guy maybe. Even an undrafted free agent/late round pick but a 1st round pick? He'll live.

[Ermaximus]

Bryant seems like a drama queen to me anyways.

[Ermaximus]

Are you serious? The Jaguars actually picked up Trent Edwards? Oh lord are we in for a terrible season.

[Hanso Amore]

Good Luck with that

[Ermaximus]

Good Luck with that

I'm starting to think they WANT to have the shittiest team known to man. They might as well trade Jones-Drew, Sims-Walker, and Scobee to other teams in exchange for 5th, 6th, and 7th round draft picks at this point.

-Dez Bryant's refusal to carry Roy Williams's shoulder pads (http://deadspin.com/5596477/) during training camp has been given a numerical value: $54,896 (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/09/28/dez-bryant-picks-up-55-000-dinner-tab-for-cowboys-teammates/?ncid=txtlnkusspor00000002). That's what happens when you take the entire team to one of the nicer steakhouses (http://pappasbros.com/location/?id=92) in the D. Ten bucks says Romo had the soup and tried to convince Miles Austin to split an app.

Dez Bryant had to lay down $50,000 at a resteraunt for payback from not carrying Roy Williams' pads.

[Droford]

All the talk about the 18 game schedule and how it would be too long and players risking injuries got me to thinking..

Why don't they schedule a Conference wide bye week in the middle of the season for each conference? I say conference wide because theres no way the NFL would shut down for an entire week, so essentially the season would be 20 weeks long, with each team getting its normal bye week plus say Week 9 is the AFC's week off and week 11 is the NFC's week off. Or they could just do 2 bye weeks, 1 in the first 10 weeks and 1 in the 2nd 10 weeks...

I do honestly think 18 games is too much though, but I have a feeling its going to happen.

[FearedSanctity]

So how long until the UFL becomes the NFL's farm system? With Goodell and the NFLPA wanting to cut down on most offseason activities, it may be best. NFL is waaaaay overdue for one anyway. Too many players with potential who never get a chance to make 53 man rosters

[Reavant]

NFL doesnt need a farm system because they have a draft

[Kris P Lettus]

NFL farm system is the NCAA..

[Reavant]

thats how pessimistic the bears fans are

[IC Champion]

Well Jay Cutler is there starting qb...

[Droford]

The Chiefs could be the only undefeated team left if the Ravens win and the Giants win..

[IC Champion]

I'm picking the Ravens, I don't see a third string QB doing much against that defence.

[Droford]

I'm picking the Ravens, I don't see a third string QB doing much against that defence.

and I dont see a Ray Rice-less Ravens offense doing much against the Steelers' defense.

I will be shocked (happily of course) if the Ravens win but Im not gonna be depressed about a loss unless they give it away late or something. But obviously 2 games back of the Steelers already and probably in 3rd place in the division at the quarter pole isn't what was expected of the Ravens..

[Crimson]

Rice is gonna play.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

NFL doesnt need a farm system because they have a draft

So MLB doesn't need minor leagues, either?

[Reavant]

MLB can sign guys to contracts right out of high school and they dont have a draft so yes they do need them. What dont you understand here?

[Innovator]

the Giants win..
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Supreme Olajuwon]

MLB can sign guys to contracts right out of high school and they dont have a draft so yes they do need them. What dont you understand here?

I don't understand this. MLB does have a draft. They have 2 drafts actually. Don't know what's going on here.

[FearedSanctity]

NFL does need a minor league IMO in part due to players going from college to pro going from like 200+ teams to 32. Leaves a lot of talent out there. And while yeah the NFL does have the best there is, what about the guys who just need some time. College leaves players with 4 years tops, and that's IF you start as a freshman.

Having a farm system allows guys a better chance to develop. Practice squads are pretty shit, at least with a minor league you get the chance to see what a guy really has in game situations instead of practice, without having to try to fit him in onto your 53 man roster AND try to get him on the field during gameday. SHit would work wonders for rookie QBs like Tebow or Bradford, actually allowing them to play instead of just practice and a couple preaseason games per year.

And wtf? Yeah, MLB not only has a draft, but isn't at leats one of them like 1000 rounds long? Don't understand how hockey, baseball and basketball can have drafts, college teams and minor/developmental leagues, but it's just not right for the NFL

[IC Champion]

Farm Systems would benefit QB's big time, and with an 18 game regular season, and fewer pre-season games, QBs are going to have less time in the future to develop. If it wasn't for the pre-season, the packers would never have known that Aaron Rodgers was ready to be a starter.
