NFL 2007 Season Thread

[SammyG]

How can you say this game is awful. Pretty exciting, I think. ROMO PICKED OFF, man what

[SammyG]

lol Westbrook takes a fall at the 1. there is no way I would do that, wouldn't even cross my mind. I would want the TD for sure.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm gonna murder Brian Westbrook if I lose my playoff game because he didn't go in for that TD</font>

[McLegend]

Westbrook is the fuckin man

[McLegend]

That was great

[Crimson]

Crap..i'm more concerned about the injuries than the loss. Like 3 Cowboys left the game...and then Romo's thumb.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Westbrook takes a fall at the 1. there is no way I would do that, wouldn't even cross my mind. I would want the TD for sure.

Huge surprise

[ClockShot]

Woohoo. Nice game by Garrard. Major points for me in fantasy.

[OssMan]

LOL fuck Romo

[OssMan]

Getcha Popcorn Ready

[Kris P Lettus]

I missed the second half today, but from what I've seen it was a good win..

I need the Vikes to lose ONE GAME..

COME ON

[owenbrown]

Dolphins win :eek:

Somewhere, Jim Rome is throwing something into his TV. Fucking Ravens.

[OssMan]

OMG

Jawful game

[Innovator]

Well Shockey is out for the rest of the year

[RP]

The best part about the Pats going 14-0 yesterday was when the Patriots fans completely showed how classless and ignorant and just plain fucking stupid they are. These guys are real retards. Throwing snow balls dont suprise me one bit. These are the kind of fucking retards that could be standing in gravel and think that because its all over the place, its throwable and then do so. Every single Patriots fan is that one kid who keeps throwing stuff at you and saying stupid shit and you keep telling him to stop and he smiles like a fucking retarded faggot and does it again and you're like " No seriously stop now ! " and he's chuckles like a fat ignorant moron and is like " You dont like RACKS! " then he throws another and another until you eventually have to slam him in the face with a mega sized whiffle ball bat. Thank god the ref stopped that game and exposed them shit eating monkeys for the fucking assholes they were. No wonder you guys always sound like your washing testicals in your mouth when you talk, your fans are infact the testical dirt drain of the NFL. Good work New England. Glad i'm not those fans. Yah keep your 3 rings. I'd rather my team have 1 ring and not have my intelligence be considered one notch below Charles " Corky " Thacher on Jack Daniels and heroin.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol I think you need to pick up a hobby or something

Also, I need Lance Briggs to get 6 tackles tonight for me to beat my roommate in Fantasy Football and advance to the Championship game....LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You're ignorant if you don't think every fan base has its morons.

[RP]

Fuck off. You'd be the first person here talking shit if someone in the Dome threw a battery and hit a Patriot player or staff.

[RP]

You're ignorant if you don't think every fan base has its morons.

ZOMG we dont have it in Indianapolis, because we cant get snow in the dome omg stfu now pls thx bye.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah obviously I would think it is fucking retarded but I wouldn't write a novel about it and put the action of a few (or one?) fan onto an entire fan base. Then again what do I know? I am just a dumb Patriots fan, I know we really can't match up to those Colt fans from Indiana, the intellectual capital of the United States.

[RP]

probably are. Someone should do research on that or something.

[RP]

lol @ the dropped passes for the Giants last night. Jeez.

[Gonzo]

ZOMG we dont have it in Indianapolis, because we cant get snow in the dome omg stfu now pls thx bye.

You don't have to throw snowballs to be a moron, as is seen in your latest string of posts in this thread.

[RP]

You're taking this really personally. I bet you threw that snowball that knocked the coach from San Diego out a few years ago.

[McLegend]

Philadelphia fans threw snowballs at Jimmy Johnson :cool:

[Gonzo]

Nah, I don't really care. You're the one with your panties in a bunch over everything. You just come in here picking fights. I think you're just jealous of the Pats, all the love they get and what not.

[RP]

I'm picking fights like a drunk Gary Busey.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Remember when Phil Simms got hit with a snowball in Foxboro? He brought it up a bunch of times yesterday, classless or not I don't really care...that was fucking hilarious

[RP]

Technically if you hit Phil Simms with a snowball anywhere, your team should get an extra 2 points.

WHADDAYU! ... WHOA!

[#1-norm-fan]

Getcha Popcorn Ready

Yeah... 2 losses after 14 games. Dallas sucks. Time to start sarcastically recalling TO quotes when he expected Dallas to have a good season. That will show him. Boy was he wrong...

[#1-norm-fan]

Also,

http://www.greatrvstuff.com/uploaded_images/broom-2-773337.jpg

[VonErichLives]

Nothing ever tops Philly fans throwing snowballs at Santa Claus...

that being said, every team has it's idiots... and the few that did throw snow balls wont be back or whoever seats they are just lost them, the Pats don't hesitate the revoke season tickets of people being idiots and since there is like a 60-70K waiting list maybe more they have no problems filling those seats.

Of course there is no lack of class in Indy, not with a GM who in a press box rooted for his team to break the leg of the other teams QB, not with a GM who grabbed a jets staff member by the shift and put him against a wall because he felt "the speakers were to close to the field".

But see, in RP's world the Colts do no wrong... just other teams.

on a side note, what's really funny is back in 2003 Polian was unhappy how the Pats DB's played the WR and pushed the rules comittee that he as a member of to make sure the letter of the law was inforced and no more "let them play", of course in 2004 it didn't change anything and the Pats won again.

Now, 2007.... the Pats have one of the best offenses in NFL history and are getting a lot of holding and interferance calls and other teams are saying "The Pats get all the calls, just let them play and don't call all that stuff"... well, thanks Bill Polian, if it wasn't for you the Pats might have lost to the Ravens.

black text, I could be wrong but I sense a good'ol RP flip out coming on soon....

[#1-norm-fan]

By the way, I've seen two games where Romo was just absolutely bad throughout. Both home games against Philly. Last year, he had Carrie Underwood at the game, this year Jessica Simpson.

I am dead serious when I say, I think Jessica Simpson being there was the reason Romo looked so terrible. I honestly believe that his mind was not on the game at all. Even the Buffalo game, he was horrific but was able to lead two late drives to engineer a comeback and win so I don't consider it a bad game. Those two games, he was just off on everything. It can't be a coincidence. Stop bringing your girlfriends to the game!!!

[Kris P Lettus]

If that had been Drew Brees throwing to David Patten, it would've been a TD..

:cool:

[MVP]

Today at my final my professor told us he was in the stands at Gillette yesterday throwing snow in the air. ROFL

[VonErichLives]

Today at my final my professor told us he was in the stands at Gillette yesterday throwing snow in the air. ROFL

A lot threw them in the air... it's the idiots that threw them on the field that need to be flogged.

[Reavant]

KYLE ORTON BABY!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

For the love of God Lance Briggs, please make at least 6 tackles tonight

[VonErichLives]

For the love of God Lance Briggs, please make at least 6 tackles tonight

Hopefully they're all on Peterson for a loss....

up 7 points in the confrence championship game... but my team is done and they have Peterson tonight... doesn't look good, unless Peterson has a game like last week or tweaks his acl again...

[Y2Ant]

As long as we win tonight I don't care who gets what stats.

[SammyG]

Roy Williams suspended one game for the horse collar.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Really? I dunno about all that

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Roy Williams suspended one game for the horse collar.

Good move by the NFL.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Didn't realize he has done it a bunch of times when I posted earlier.

But God damn....Get some tackles Lance Briggs :(

[SammyG]

Are the Vikings seriously gonna make the playoffs.

[Y2Ant]

YES

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Lance Briggs 6 tackles....YESSSSSSSSSSSS

[Kris P Lettus]

YES

Not if you lose one game so the Saints can sneak in..

:D

[Y2Ant]

You know I can actually see us losing to the Redskins next week, especially since technically they can get in too I think.

And it's not like we'll go far if we DO make it, but still :foc: to the Saints

[Y2Ant]

Adrian Peterson > Reggie Bush :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Pro Bowl teams bout to be announced.........Patriots

[Y2Ant]

:cool: @ amount of Vikings and Cowboys on the NFC team

[Kris P Lettus]

Adrian Peterson > Reggie Bush :cool:

Drew Brees > entire Viking team

[DrA]

I think it's going to be kinda tough for Sean Taylor to make that trip to Hawaii.

[Gonzo]

Adrian Peterson > Reggie Bush :cool:

Drew Brees > entire Viking team

I agree with Ant here. In the long run, barring injuries from either guy, I think Peterson is a better running back. Reggie is versatile, but he will never be an every down back.

[OssMan]

Chris Cooley.........BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Gonzo]

Chris Cooley.........BOOOOOOOOOOOO

He is a good TE. Deserves it in my opinion. Even though he is a Redskin and I am a sworn enemy by default.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Has anyone else noticed that outside of their passing game which is terrible, the Vikings are nasty everywhere else? They have one of the best left sides of an offensive line ever assembled in the NFL and then Tony Richardson behind that at fullback. They have the one of the two best DT combos in the NFL (I would say the best but you could make a case for Jacksonville), their linebackers are solid and they have a shutdown secondary. They really have a Super Bowl quality team if they could just throw the ball.

[VonErichLives]

Think Brady throws a TD to Vrabel in the pro bowl...

Brady, Moss, 3/5ths of the OL... Wilfork, Vrabel, Samuel...

of course the team now and who/what actually shows up is a different story.

[Skippord]

The Vikings would be amazing if they had any worthwhile wideouts

[Gonzo]

They really have a Super Bowl quality team if they could just throw the ball.

Even then that formula will work as long as Jackson doesn't make mistakes at the QB position. I think their secondary has come around in the latter half of the season. I know heading into their game with the Giants they were pretty low on the totem pole in terms of pass defense, but everyone knows Eli made them all look like all pros.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah they give up the most passing yards per game in the NFL but that number is a bit skewed because teams average more pass attempts against them per game than any other opponent. They give up 6.88 yards per attempt which is tied with Jacksonville for 14th. They've given up 17 pass TDs which is 8th best in the league and they have 8 defensive TDs which is 1st. So yeah they might be the weakest part of the defense but they're definitely not a weakness.

[Gonzo]

Yeah their defense is pretty stout. I don't usually look to statistics to tell the tale, who the hell knows, could be a lot of "garbage" yards. They have a really good run defense, so teams could have looked to the pass all year to try to move the ball.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I find the tentative Vikings to Packers ratio in the Pro Bowl to be disturbing.

[OssMan]

Good thing Cromartie and his 10 INTs isn't starting :|

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Since 10 INTs are the only indicator of good defensive back play

[DrA]

This has been one of the worst statistical years for running backs I have ever seen. I believe they could have done better than Barber and Westbrook, maybe put in Portis or Brandon Jacobs instead of them. Other than that I guess it looks like an alright pro bowl selection overall. To be honest I haven't paid attention to how Patrick Kerney or Darren Sharper were doing, but I guess they are still doing alright for themselves.

[SammyG]

Holt elected again :D

[Crimson]

Barber in the probowl ftw

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The Vikings would be amazing if they had any worthwhile wideouts

Don't sleep on Sidney Rice. Kid's gonna be good.

[Hanso Amore]

and starting at Free Safety, a Rotting, Festering, Maggot Infested Corpse!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Minnesota needs to hire Paul Johnson as offensive coordinator to teach them the wishbone offense for the playoffs. If Navy can do it with the talent they have, I'm sure the Vikings could do it too.

[#1-norm-fan]

Barber in the probowl ftw

Quite an accomplishment for our "backup" running back. :nono:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

How did Colston not make the Pro bowl? I would pick him over a lot of the guys who did make it at the wide out spot on the NFC team

[SammyG]

Not Torry :) Also, Parcells gonna become the VP of football operations in Atlanta, what.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Except he has more catches, more touchdowns, more bigger games and more yards than Torry Holt

The only thing Holt has over him is the fact that Holt has been putting up consistent numbers through out the year, where as Colston has had a really bad game or two (One game against the Seahawks he was pretty close to shut out I think)

[Hanso Amore]

The Pro Bowl is a fucking joke. 11 Cowboys and a Dead Redskin, sounds more like the wild west.

No one from the NFC South? No Jaguars? No Browns?

Fucking JOKE!

[SammyG]

I respect the fact that Sean Taylor was voted in as a starter.

[SammyG]

Well the Pro Bowl always has been a joke. People get voted in based on previous accomplishments, not on the stats they put up during the course of the year. Just like the NBA All-Star Game.

[Kris P Lettus]

How did Colston not make the Pro bowl? I would pick him over a lot of the guys who did make it at the wide out spot on the NFC team

Word..

Is Jason Campbell playing this week against the Vikes?? I really need the Skins to win that game..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

The Pro Bowl is a fucking joke. 11 Cowboys and a Dead Redskin, sounds more like the wild west.

No one from the NFC South? No Jaguars? No Browns?

Fucking JOKE!How many times are you gonna post something about Sean Taylor? We get it you are so controversial

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I'd like to see the NFC start with 10 on defense.

[Skippord]

Word..

Is Jason Campbell playing this week against the Vikes?? I really need the Skins to win that game..
I believe Campbell is out for the season

[SammyG]

I'd like to see the NFC start with 10 on defense.

Yeah, I think they will, since he was voted in as a starter.

[Skippord]

lol, I love Champ Bailey and I dont even really think he should be in the Pro Bowl this year, Elvis Dummervil however should be

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Not Torry :) Also, Parcells gonna become the VP of football operations in Atlanta, what.

What indeed

[VonErichLives]

Parcells running the phins... who the hell is going to want to be the GM w/ Parcells as your boss... "umm, sir, is it ok I wipe my ass now".

Zinga agreed not to sell the team if Parcells signed a 4yr deal, word was he only wanted to sign for 2yrs...

dunno, can you turn that team around in 4yrs?

They'll have the #1 pick... if the rumor plays out possible another top 5 if they deal Taylor for the Pats pick...

some key free agents... anything is possible..

[Gonzo]

I would think the Patriots would prefer a top 5 pick over an aging Jason Taylor who likely isn't going to produce close to what he did in his prime. Thats just me though.

[VonErichLives]

I would think the Patriots would prefer a top 5 pick over an aging Jason Taylor who likely isn't going to produce close to what he did in his prime. Thats just me though.

He'd play OLB and Belicheck has always preferred experience over youth at that position...

Plus the rumor was the pick for taylor plus a 2nd and 3rd (not same years).

But we're a long way from offseason deals.

I just don't see the Pats taking anyone that high, unless there is a shut-down CB worth a top 5 pick (I don't follow college enough to know).

[Kris P Lettus]

Fast Willie Parker broke his leg tonight and is out for the season/playoffs..

[#1-norm-fan]

Except he has more catches, more touchdowns, more bigger games and more yards than Torry Holt

The only thing Holt has over him is the fact that Holt has been putting up consistent numbers through out the year, where as Colston has had a really bad game or two (One game against the Seahawks he was pretty close to shut out I think)

I don't mind Holt being voted in over Colston as much as I do Donald Driver.

That one just confuses me. Driver has 2 TDs all year. Not to mention less catches and yards than Colston. Hell, as far as Packer receivers go even, what about Greg Jennings? Granted he has significantly less catches and yards than Driver but the man has caught TEN more TDs this season than Driver!

[Y2Ant]

Fast Willie Parker broke his leg tonight and is out for the season/playoffs..

To be fair the Steelers weren't gonna go far in the playoffs anyway IMO.

[Kris P Lettus]

Their D had looked bad the past couple of weeks, but I'd have them going to the AFC Championship game, if the D played like it did up until the Pats game..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

You'd have them going to the AFC Championship over The Patriots and The Colts?

At no point in the season did I think the Steelers where better than either of those teams

[Kris P Lettus]

Depends on who they'd have played.. They have the potential to be the best D in the league..

[SammyG]

Don't fuck with the Rams, Willie Parker..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I have this strange urge to root for the Browns this weekend. It makes me feel dirty but I really don't want the Steelers to win the division. I just hate them so much.

[D Mac]

Isaac Bruce would fit in nicely with the Chiefs.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He'll probably retire as one of those guys who play for one team their whole career.

Plus KC are meant to be cleaning house of the veteran players so it wouldn't make much sense really.

Steve Smith :|

[SammyG]

lollllllllllllll Packers

Cleveland coming back

[#1-norm-fan]

[Crimson]

URLACHER!!!

We could rest up Romo now :)

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Assuming they don't beat the Pats next week, yeah they could still miss out. Although with the Saints losing it might not matter, depending on what happens with the Skins later.

Minn could always drop both of the last games, but then again, with the coaching and defensive play we've been showing, we'd prolly drop 38 to Kyle Orton next week..

[Kris P Lettus]

I posted this about Sean Payton at another board..

Yeah, I blame him (Payton)..

Football is a game of momentum.. You've seen it hundreds of times.. A team is down in the fourth then great D stop that leads to a punt return TD, that leads to an onsides kick etc etc etc..

That challenge on the second and goal when we had all the momentum in the world and their D was on their heels was the turning point of the game.. It didn't gain us shit and gave their D rest that then lead to them making that goalline stop.. No way they would've stopped it if we'd just lined up and pounded it with Stecker or run PA and tossed to a TE.. No way..

I learned today that when Payton was the Off. Coor. in New York, that Parcel took his play calling ability cause Payton had what the Tuna called "the sickness".. Payton is a good coach but he makes really really bad decisions sometimes..

I am with you on the D, but besides looking horrible against the run, what was different about them today?? We know they give up big plays and the only way we can beat most teams is to out score them on offense.. We opened it up early and it worked (long pass to Henderson), why stop?? We didn't try anything deep until the fourth quarter after that..

Payton has "the sickness" and he needs to work that shit out before next year..

[OssMan]

You know who else has the sickness, Tom Coughlin, because he fucking sucks at calling plays and the Giants never mix it up at all especially on the goal line because all they do is run right with Reuben Droughns

[OssMan]

Kleinsausage

[RoXer]

and we sold them for like $150 at the beginning of the year lol

[Kris P Lettus]

He could have meant for a single game.. I figured that's what he meant cause why would a fan sell their season tickets for (less than??) face value, specially in a market like NY??

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Randy Moss baby

[RP]

They might not be able too..

Salary Cap


You know they can franchise tag him right?

[MTH15]

Thank god the Falcons lost.

[Kris P Lettus]

You know they can franchise tag him right?

He could always pull a Lance Briggs..

On this same subject, Stima, do you think y'all will resign Samuels?? Is there enough cap room etc??

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I dunno if they are, I think they have the space to give him a deal but they aren't going to over pay him. I think that is what it is going to come down to

The dude got a "GET PAID" tattoo during the off-season, so yeah

[Kris P Lettus]

Bobby "The Cajun Cannon" Hebert said today on the radio after the game that the Saints are something like $37 mill under the cap limit..

I hope we go after Lance Briggs, Samuels, and Marcus Trufant..

And Bob Sanders..

Shit, anyone who can make a play on D..

Hmm, if I recall correctly early in the season I blamed the way the Saints were playing on the coach and you didn't agree...

now I guess I can say "told you so"...

My issue with him back then was play calling, especially the trick play crap that he over used.

[VonErichLives]

I think re-signing Moss and going after Briggs will eat up the money for Samuel and the Pats will look CB with that high draft pick.

unless they deal the pick for say Jason Taylor, then they'll make a harder push.

on the flip side, the Pats win another super bowl this year, and Samuel who is still young may take a deal for a little less to stay here and then his next/last contract go for the money ala: Ty Law and others.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Giants/Pats game will probably be a snoozer tbh. The Giants are gonna sit their starters after a few series, and I actually heard the Pats might do the same (though I bet they'd come back in if the backups started losing).

I can see it now: Cassel throws a long bomb to someone.....running down the sideline, has an easy touchdown...but he is ordered to step out of bounds so Brady can come in to grab the TD record.</font> :o

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Also it looks like the Titans are gonna make the #6 seed against the resting Colts. Goddammit, I really wanted the Browns to make it in. :( Woulda been a great story.</font>

[RP]

nah Colts will beat them with there practice squad. I mean we've done it against like 5 other teams this year, so why not.

[Kris P Lettus]

Hmm, if I recall correctly early in the season I blamed the way the Saints were playing on the coach and you didn't agree...

now I guess I can say "told you so"...

My issue with him back then was play calling, especially the trick play crap that he over used.

Defense giving up 38 points per game doesn't help..

[Reavant]

Reggie bush going down is the best thing to happen to the saints. It made their offense more conentional.

[Kris P Lettus]

Deuce going down is the worst thing that could've happened..

Then yesterday, Predator (Mike McKenzie) got hurt and Colston was throwing up blood during the game.. They both missed pretty much the entire game.. Horrible.. Both our RB's are hurt and we lose our (should've been) Pro Bowl WR and the only d-back we have worth shit in a game we had to win.. Predator had only given up TWO TD's all season going into yesterday..

:(

[McLegend]

Dovann F. McNabb is pretty awsome.

[Crimson]

Too bad he won't be in Philly next year

[Kris P Lettus]

My guess is, they'll trade him to the Vikes..

[Gonzo]

Bears

I can see it now: Cassel throws a long bomb to someone.....running down the sideline, has an easy touchdown...but he is ordered to step out of bounds so Brady can come in to grab the TD record.</font> :o

<font color=goldenrod>Come to think, while I fully believe Brady's gonna throw 2 TDs the normal way. If he were to actually get the record in that fashion...I think the general feeling around football would be that it was cheap. Sorta like "Yeah, he deserves the record...but that's a shitty way to get it"

Sorta like when Favre laid down to let Strahan get the sack record</font> :(

[weather vane]

McNabb will go to Chicago.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

McNabb in Chicago would be pretty sick

As for the TD records, for some reason I don't think Brady or Moss will be getting either of them

[Kris P Lettus]

I just hope McNabb doesn't go to ATL..

[McLegend]

McNabb is coming back to Philadelphia.

[Kris P Lettus]

I really don't think so.. Y'all drafted a QB early last year and McNabb caught a heap of shit this year and was hurt for like the fourth season straight.. He came out and looked great late this season, but I think all that did was make him more valuble in a trade..

[McLegend]

He isn't getting traded.

There is no way you trade McNabb if he looks the way he looked yesterday. You keep him, and you go to the playoffs next year.

[SammyG]

PLAYOFFS?!

[Kris P Lettus]

And lose just like y'all have done his entire career..

Not hating on McNabb, but you don't draft a QB if you're planning on keeping your high dollar QB for very long.. McNabb is good, but he is injury prone and has had his chances in Philly.. I think it'll work out better for him and the Eagles if he leaves..

On a similar topic, to think that all the Philly fans wanted Ricky Williams and boo'ed McNabb when he was drafted.. How different things would be if we had gotten McNabb and y'all had gotten Ricky..

[#1-norm-fan]

PLAYOFFS?

You're talking about playo-PLAYOFFS!?

[SammyG]

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the New England Patriots have a good change of possibly winning the Super Bowl this year.

[McLegend]

Really? Cause Green Bay has drafted several QB's since Bret Favre. That's also where Andy Reid comes from. So it's defintly happens. The Eagles aren't that far from the playoffs.

Next year they should get in the playoffs, and I don't doubt this at all.

As for the whole Ricky Williams thing... That was retarded.

[Kris P Lettus]

Difference between Favre and McNabb is, Favre has won the SuperBowl..

[McLegend]

And also was like the most washed up player over the past 4 years, and way more washed up then Dovann F. McNabb was. Then he had like one of his best years ever. Same thing can happen to McNabb.

He just came off a major ACL or MCL sugery. You have to give him time. You aren't getting anyone better then him if you trade him. Also Philadelphia has a terrible history of trading superstars. It pretty much never works out.

And anyway Andy Reid is completly loyal to him, and says he is coming back.

[Kris P Lettus]

Nick Saban was completely loyal to the Dolphin too..

And LSU..

Yeah..

[McLegend]

Not the same at all.

[Kris P Lettus]

How is it not??

Coaches say different shit than they do all the time..

[McLegend]

Yes that is true, but Andy Reid has no history of this at all. Nick Saban had a history of stuff like that.

Unless there is some sort of TO like blow up .He's coming back next year. He gives the Eagles the best chance to win next year.

[MTH15]

I want the Redskins to win the Super Bowl....cause if they do I get a day of school off

Some of the players on the Chargers are looking pretty classless against Denver tonight. :nono:

[Kris P Lettus]

What the fuck is Kornheiser talking about LT not being a "household" name??

I hate that guy more and more every Monday Night..

[Kris P Lettus]

It's like a vegatarian hamburger..

My stepfather said that if they win DC gets a day off WDF?

[MTH15]

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the New England Patriots have a good change of possibly winning the Super Bowl this year.

Tell your fucking Rams to win. Sheesh

[SammyG]

Kobe on during the half time show :)

Also, STFU Mth, we are going to lose to Arizona, and finish 3-13. Hopefully. Although I kinda see us winning and finishing 4-12. Hopefully I am wrong. In the NFL, if you don't make the playoffs, you might as well go 0-16, so you can get a better draft pick fo sho.

[DrA]

I don't think I have seen so many various losing streaks in one season like there have been this year.

Miami
San Francisco
St. Louis
Baltimore
Detroit
Kansas City
New York Jets
Oakland
Atlanta

And that's not even counting teams like New Orleans and Washington, who had points where they lost a few games in a row as well.

[MTH15]

Sorry for upsetting you

[DrA]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a consistent 'win, loss, win, loss' team this year. Most teams this year were either win, win, win, win, win, or, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose. Many of the teams that are close to 500 had spurts of winning games in a row to make up ground for losing four games in a row earlier in the season.

I've noticed how odd the overall records of teams has been ever since they divided up the league into these new divisions. I think there need to be some changes. The NFC South, for instance: Tampa Bay, Carolina, New Orleans, and Atlanta, what is that? None of those teams have any history to them at all. The AFC South is filled with expansion teams and teams that were moved from their original cities. The AFC North has two teams from the same state, and the NFC West has a weird feel to it as well.

I don't know, four teams just doesn't seem like enough teams for a division, especially the way it's divided up right now. With the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a 6-10 in the playoffs in a couple of years.

[DrA]

They should divide it up into three divisions of 5, 5, 6 for each conference.

NFC Central:
Chicago
Green Bay
Detroit
Minnesota
St. Louis

NFC East:
Dallas
New York Giants
Washington
Philadelphia
Arizona

NFC Everything Else:
Seattle
San Francisco
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Carolina
New Orleans

AFC Central:
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
Baltimore
Cincinatti
Indianapolis

AFC East:
New England
New York Jets
Miami
Buffalo
Jacksonville

AFC Everything Else:
Denver
Oakland
Kansas City
San Diego
Houston
Tennessee

Where each team lands is subject to change.

[OssMan]

lmao whut, that would be JAwesome to have Arizona in the east n teams like Carolina and Tampa Bay in the Everything Else :lol:

[DrA]

It would actually work better if they got rid of two teams altogether.

Houston, bye. You haven't done anything and never will.

Tampa Bay, adios. Jon Gruden can go send his visor wearing ass to the unemployment line.

And there you go. The NFL is saved.

[Kris P Lettus]

Didn't realize the NFL needed saving..

[Reavant]

Derick anderson is probably going to chicago. Theyre in talks of trading him for one of ther good defensive players and a 1st round draft pick because they think that brady quinn is the second coming of christ.

[Crimson]

The Bears trade their 1st round pick AND a player for Anderson? Kinda steep .

[MTH15]

ATL should do some major FA shopping and a good QB Draft pick and we will be good

[Hanso Amore]

ATL should do some major FA shopping and a good QB Draft pick and we will be good

Well first off, that team is way worse off than just a few quick fixes to making them good.

Drafting QB does nothing as any QB they draft is 2-3 years away from carrying the team. There is no Lock QB this year anywho.

Adding FA is not how you fix a team that is in such a shit hole. They can patch a few holes, but not all of them.

ATL is at least 2 perfect drafts and solid FA periods away from contending.

[Hanso Amore]

ATL should do some major FA shopping and a good QB Draft pick and we will be good

It seems like a major price for a one year( so far) wonder. But QBs go for alot. (See Matt Shaub) I wish the Bills could Offer some picks to the browns for Anderson, we need to finally get a solid QB. Losman and Edwards are not going to do it next year (Although I think Edwards has a chance to be a solid player) but I just want some stabilit. We have had a QB carousel since Jim Kelly retired. Our best QB in that time has been fucking Doug Flutie, and he only started like 9 games!

[RP]

Brady Quinn is infact the second coming of Christ

[McLegend]

Damn straight he is.

I dont mean good as we'll win the Super Bowl good. I mean good as in we wont suck anymore lol. If we sign

Bob Sanders
Alen Faneca
and I know its not possible, but Randy Moss...(I got these FA's off fox sports)
and end up drafting a decent QB like Matt Ryan or Chase Daniels....we should be in a good spot.

[Reavant]

For thebears to actually get a quality quarterback I would think a player and 1st round pick would be perfect.

[MTH15]

Do you think the bears should get a new RB?

[Reavant]

Im hoping they pick up michael turner off of free agency but that would be too smart for them to do that

[Reavant]

if the bears were smart they would get anderson and turner off of free agency/trades and then draft all ofensive linemen... bt they wont do that becaue they like to take a gun load it, hold it up, point the barrel directly between their eyes and pull the fuckin trigger.

[MTH15]

...I think Devin Hester should try to do running back. But hes underpowered and should only do outside tosses

[VonErichLives]

<font color=goldenrod>The Giants/Pats game will probably be a snoozer tbh. The Giants are gonna sit their starters after a few series, and I actually heard the Pats might do the same (though I bet they'd come back in if the backups started losing).

I can see it now: Cassel throws a long bomb to someone.....running down the sideline, has an easy touchdown...but he is ordered to step out of bounds so Brady can come in to grab the TD record.</font> :o

Nah, only giants players get records that way...

Farve steps back... sits down... waits for strahen to touch him, gives strahan a big hug...

[SammyG]

I am excited to watch the Pats destroy everyone.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I think its gonna come down to the Patriots Colts once again in the AFC Championship game and I expect a pretty close game

[Kris P Lettus]

...I think Devin Hester should try to do running back. But hes underpowered and should only do outside tosses

That'll keep the defense honest..

[MTH15]

Thats why I probably wouldnt do it. Do a lot more reverses with him and what not....The saints will not make the playoffs

[Kris P Lettus]

OMG

They won't?!?

[MTH15]

:D NO

[Kris P Lettus]

I love that you're trying to talk shit to me about the Saints while they still could make the playoffs in week 17, and yet your team, the Falcons have been eliminated since like week 8..

Yeah..

[MTH15]

And you guys owned us twice....but lets not talk about that lol

[Skippord]

I am excited to watch the Pats destroy everyone.
I dont think the Pats will be destroying anyone the rest of the year

cant throw as well with the snow in Foxboro

[RP]

I dont think the Pats will be destroying anyone the rest of the year

cant throw as well with the snow in Foxboro



I'm not really buying the " Cant throw in the snow " thing. I dont think Brady will have a problem throwing. I dont think they'll be throwing bombs to Moss much in bad weather, but they have 4 recievers that run a decent 5-15 yard route. Its really just going to come down to what team can go out there and both physically and mentally be better then the New England Patriots. And the only team i think can do that is Indy. Defending champs. They've beat them before. Every playoff team that can possibly play the Pats either in the AFC or the NFC/Superbowl have questions about whether they can mentally beat the dynasty that is New England... accept for the Colts. Who have beaten them in the playoffs and have won the Superbowl. I'm sorry, but lets see Romo win a playoff game or two before we believe he can beat New England in a Superbowl. If Indy dont do it, New England is 19-0. I dont see any other team with a shot to beat them. And i also think Indy is every bit as good as New England. Gunna be a unbelievable game yet again. And with our luck, there will be a monstorous snow storm arriving on the morning of the game. That would make things really interesting.

[Hanso Amore]

Mentally, Only the Colts can hang I hink,

But I can honestly see Jacksonville giving the a run. They could upset them. They are hungry and slighted, and with that running game and Stout D, they are a tough team. They can beat the Colts and Patriots on talent, but it is going to be very hard for them to do it.

[RP]

Jacksonville dont beat the Colts or Patriots ever. Its too big of a game for them. They lose and then say things like " Bill Polian must of payed the refs " and cry about not getting calls and insinuate that the games are fixed. Its the same story with them every year. They go into a big game. Everyone is riding there sacks and then they get beat down and they cry and claim the games are fixed instead of taking responsibility for playing like shit. Jacksonville has no chance in hell.

[RP]

And whats with everyone riding David Garrard's balls? Everyone acts like his stats are so fucking amazing. He has like 16 td's and 2 ints. OMG OMG. He's about as good as Trent Dilfer i guess. 16 td's is not that amazing.

[Reavant]

You better hope that the Colts dont play the Chargers. Every time they have played in the past 3 years the Chargers have ended up beating them.

[Kris P Lettus]

And whats with everyone riding David Garrard's balls? Everyone acts like his stats are so fucking amazing. He has like 16 td's and 2 ints. OMG OMG. He's about as good as Trent Dilfer i guess. 16 td's is not that amazing.

How many rushing TD's do they have??

They are a more run based offense so, yeah.. Two ints in like 14 games is a great stat..

[MTH15]

This Sunday should be interesting

[#1-norm-fan]

And whats with everyone riding David Garrard's balls? Everyone acts like his stats are so fucking amazing. He has like 16 td's and 2 ints. OMG OMG. He's about as good as Trent Dilfer i guess. 16 td's is not that amazing.

:|

[#1-norm-fan]

Garrard... 64% comp. pct., 7.7 yds per attempt (.2 less than Peyton Manning), 18 TDs and 3 picks through 15 games while leading his team to an 11-4 record including a 3 point loss AT Indy where he completed 24 of 29 passes for 257 yds, 2 TDs and 1 pick. Just for fun, I'll throw in the fact that his QB rating is 4 points better than Peyton Manning's.

But let's disregard all that and just look at the fact that he only has a little over a TD per game... yeah, he sucks.

:roll:

[RP]

I didnt say he sucks. I said those are average numbers. There not great.

[Kris P Lettus]

"I'll throw in the fact that his QB rating is 4 points better than Peyton Manning's."

Mad average..

[OssMan]

Holy smokes Patrick Willis had 20 tackles, 2 sacks, and a FF this week...all the Washington sports media saying London Fletcher shoulda made the pro bowl instead of him :roll:

[Gonzo]

I didnt say he sucks. I said those are average numbers. There not great.

He doesn't make mistakes. He isn't going to pass all over you, but thats not who he is and no one makes him to be that type of player. Jacksonville is a run first, play defense and ball control team, you know that. People are on Garrard's nuts because he doesn't make mistakes.

[Skippord]

I'm almost positive the Jags could beat the Pats or the Colts

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I really don't see the Jags beating the Patriots, they will force Garrard to throw more than 20 times, which he really never does. I think forcing him to throw a lot with really hurt a QB who isn't used to it, especially when their best quality is "not making mistakes"

[RoXer]

BTW, Pats game is going to be simulcast on CBS and NBC

[Crimson]

Wait..what? there showing it on tv?

[OssMan]

yeah whole country

[SammyG]

The next game the Pats lose will be Week 6 of next year.

[MTH15]

Hes Satin. He knows the future

[#1-norm-fan]

I didnt say he sucks. I said those are average numbers. There not great.

You did say he's as good as Trent Dilfer though...

[Hanso Amore]

Hes Satin. He knows the future



I bet he feels good on your skin.


My mom has a handkerchief made of him

[Gonzo]

I don't know, the Patriots are old and I think that a stiff running game could wear them down on defense. Play some ball control and keep the ball out of the hands of that Pats offense. That would at least be my best play, imo.

[VonErichLives]

The Jags are the underdog flavor of the year. They're playing good, I just don't see them hanging in a shoot out with the Pats, Colts or SD.

The Colts still haven't proved they can win in the playoffs outside of the dome, plus w/o Freeny makes that defense a lot different. Although, when the Pats didn't have Seymore they still beat the Colts so I'll give the Colts the same credit that it wont effect them, which puts me back to point 1.

SD this team actually worries me... they're a good team, no major weakness and they wont be playing marty ball...

The steelers... w/o Parker I think they're done.

NFC.. does it matter?

Dallas, can't argue they're offense but RP has a point, lets see Romo keep it together in the playoffs, I think he will, but until proven you have to question him.

Favre - is he still his own worst enemy? will he make the bad forced pass in a close game? history says yes.

The rest of the NFC playoff teams I don't think could beat NE, Indy or SD.

but it's the NFL... anything is possible.

[VonErichLives]

yeah whole country


it's funny, locally it was always on free TV since they're the home team during an away game.

Now, it's going to be on all 3 major networks and the local network who has a signed contract w/ the NFL is pissed because they're going to have to refund/credit most the Ads they sold as have exclusive rights.

My guess is somehow locally it will go back to 1 channel and nationally it will go free.

[RP]

Hey i dunno, but if i were the Patriots, i wouldnt get beat by Eli Manning and the Giants Saturday. Thats all i'm saying.
