[SammyG]

AYYOOOO, Just got sweet fucking tickets for Rams/Hawks in Seattle, section 205, right by one of the endzones basically. Wooorddd.

[OssMan]

Didn't you go to Seattle once and say it was terrible? That stadium has to be one of the worst places to go if you're rooting for the other team

[RP]

Patriots wont make the playoffs this year.

[SammyG]

Didn't you go to Seattle once and say it was terrible? That stadium has to be one of the worst places to go if you're rooting for the other team
It was absolutely terrible, never felt worse basically. BUT, this time I am not rocking Rams gear, gonna wear a hoodie or some shit, or a t-shirt. Fuck that, still gonna be cheerin for the rams, but don't want everyone there throwing beer bottles at me feel me.

[D Mac]

Patriots wont make the playoffs this year.

God I hope not. But they probably will :mad:

[DaveBrawl]

Broncos are winning the West this year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>What I hate is that so many of my friends (ironically...Packers and Pats fans) are all like "Well the Giants are just a 10-6 team that happened to get hot at the right time, they weren't the best team in football by a long shot :roll: "

All I can say to that is "isn't the goal of every team to make the playoffs and get hot at the right time?"

Fuckin idiots.</font>

[VonErichLives]

Patriots wont make the playoffs this year.

I think they get the AFC east by default of the other 3 teams sucking...

[Team Sheep]

Exactly. To be honest, rarely does the best team in the regular season actually go on to win the whole thing. Hell, it doesn't matter if you make the playoffs with a 7-9 record, as long as you win the Super Bowl then it doesn't fucking matter.

[SammyG]

I don't mind playing the AFC east, Rams can go 3-1 against that, but playing the NFC East is gonna suck ass.

[McLegend]

Fuck Shun Andrew's depression

[RP]

Colt Brennan looked foreal in that preseason game. Ofcourse, he didnt have Bob Sanders all up in his shit, but he looked good.

[Gonzo]

Fuckin idiots.

I've had people say that to me too. I don't give a fuck. The Giants won the Superbowl. They put it together at the right time. Last time I checked thats just the same as a team that steamrolled every opponent and won a Superbowl.

NFL Clubs Implement Fan Code Of Conduct Policy

NewOrleansSaints.com,
Tuesday, August 05, 2008 - 2:24 PM

The NFL and all 32 NFL clubs have created a fan code of conduct to help promote a positive fan environment at NFL stadiums, it was announced today.

The fan code of conduct is designed to set clear expectations and encourage a stadium environment that is enjoyable for all fans. Teams may add additional provisions to the standard code based on local circumstances or preferences. Each team will communicate its code of conduct during the preseason to season-ticket holders and fans through mailings, online, and in-stadium signage, and other messages.

“The in-stadium experience is critically important to the NFL, our clubs and our fans and it will be a major focus this season,” said NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL. “We are committed to improving the fan experience in every way we can -- from the time fans arrive in the parking lot to when they depart the stadium. We want everyone to be able to come to our stadiums and enjoy the entire day.”

The code of conduct is intended to address behavior that detracts from the gameday experience. Any fan in violation of these provisions will be subject to ejection without refund and loss of ticket privileges for future games.

In addition to the fan code of conduct, the NFL and its clubs will evaluate fan feedback and existing programs to ensure their effectiveness and shape the development of new programs.


These measures are designed to build on the many outstanding programs already in place at NFL stadiums to enhance the fan experience.


FAN CODE OF CONDUCT


“The National Football League and its teams are committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all fans, both in the stadium and in the parking lot. We want all fans attending our games to enjoy the experience in a responsible fashion. When attending a game, you are required to refrain from the following behaviors:


· Behavior that is unruly, disruptive, or illegal in nature


· Intoxication or other signs of alcohol impairment that results in irresponsible behavior


· Foul or abusive language or obscene gestures


· Interference with the progress of the game (including throwing objects onto the field)


· Failing to follow instructions of stadium personnel


· Verbal or physical harassment of opposing team fans
“Event patrons are responsible for their conduct as well as the conduct of their guests and/or persons occupying their seats. Stadium staff will promptly intervene to support an environment where event patrons, their guests, and other fans can enjoy the event free from the above behavior. Event patrons and guests who violate these provisions will be subject to ejection without refund and loss of ticket privileges for future games.”

lol

:(

[OssMan]

What is wrong with that

[RP]

Atleast we can still get high

[SammyG]

Honestly, FUCK YOU Steven Jackson. Report to camp, accept the offer they fucking made you, it would put him in the top 5 highest paid backs in the league, and he only had 1 year essentially that he proved he can be a top 5 back in the NFL. Jesus Christ.

[Evil Vito]

I've had people say that to me too. I don't give a fuck. The Giants won the Superbowl. They put it together at the right time. Last time I checked thats just the same as a team that steamrolled every opponent and won a Superbowl.

<font color=goldenrod>Exactly.

It feels weird...you would think that after winning the SB my expectations would be high, but they aren't. Last year, I was expecting them to at LEAST get past the Wild Card round of the playoffs and it would be a good year. This year...I'd probably only be pissed off if they missed the playoffs altogether. It's like being responsible for one of the best comebacks and upsets ever has actually LOWERED my expectations, and I'm not sure why.</font> :o

[Gonzo]

My hopes are high for a strong showing in 2008. I would be extremely pissed off if the Giants missed the playoffs this year. I think that 2007's results are as good as you can hope for. The only way to repeat them would be to in fact, repeat.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, that might be what it was. In 2007, I knew that they had to make the playoffs and win at least one game there after back-to-back first round losses, or else Coughlin was toast.

This year, Coughlin isn't toast under any circumstances...and I'd only think its a bad year if they don't make the playoffs. A first round exit wouldn't even bother me so much (as long as it's not a slaughter like against the Panthers 2 years ago)...obviously I'd love to see them go deeper, but yeah. Hard to grill the team after last year.</font>

[SammyG]

Holy shit! Breaking News : Favre traded to Jets!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Where you seeing this?

[SammyG]

ESPN just reported this on SportsCenter. They just had Mark Schlereth (sp?) on, talking about it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah my brother just walked by and mentioned it being on ESPN. Figured it would be plastered all over sport websites, guess it hasn't gotten to them yet.

[SammyG]

Does this make the Jets kinda legit? Oh fuck, Rams play the Jets this year. Fuck this trade!

[Kris P Lettus]

woo

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

The country boy in the Wranglers is gun slingin INTS all over New York!

[Kris P Lettus]

I'm just happy he's not a Tampa Bay Fuckinqueer..

[Nervous Ferret]

Awesome. Not crazy about Favre really, didn't really want this, but fuck it now. Brett Favre is a Jet :cool:

[Gonzo]

At least this bullshit is over with now. Thank god.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

All I can think of is that lady who covers the Yankees saying how Roger Clemens is a New York Yankee, except replace it with Bret Farve and the Jets

Favre era ends in Green Bay with trade to Jets
<hr size="1" width="100%" noshade="noshade"> ESPN.com news services

The Brett Favre (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=1025) era in Green Bay apparently came to an end late Wednesday as the longtime Packers star quarterback was traded to the New York Jets (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyj), Foxsports.com first reported. The compensation, believed to be a single draft pick that rises in value depending upon how the Jets perform during the 2008 season, was confirmed by ESPN's Michael Smith on Wednesday night. The Jets declined to comment on the report. Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press earlier Wednesday that the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were emerging as the most likely trade destinations for the three-time MVP. Packers general manager Ted Thompson skipped practice Wednesday morning, and his scheduled early afternoon media availability was postponed indefinitely -- signs that a deal could be in the works. Thompson also was not seen at Wednesday night's practice, although team president and CEO Mark Murphy made an appearance. Favre was on a private plane that left for Hattiesburg, Miss. at 1:25 p.m. EDT Cook and Favre's wife, Deanna, also were aboard the plane that landed two hours later. Favre's family home is near Hattiesburg. In Mississippi, Favre confirmed that he was considering the Jets and Buccaneers. "We're working on it," Favre said in video posted on Jackson TV station WJTV's Web site. "Hopefully we can get something resolved. I've been saying that for quite a while now. I don't want to say we're running out of time, but I need to get into a camp somewhere." Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden refused to address speculation that the team was on the verge of a deal for Favre, sidestepping a question about whether he had spoken to Favre Tuesday night. "I'm not going to talk about it," Gruden said. "I don't know anything other than what happened today on the practice field, and I don't want to address any more speculation at this point. Brett's situation will resolve itself during the coming days I would assume. But at this point and time, all I can comment on is our football team and what we did today." Gruden acknowledged that he's always willing to explore ways to improve his team. "We are a good football team," Gruden said. "We're trying to become a great one. We'll do anything we can to get better. And if that involves looking at other players, by George that's our job. That's our responsibility." Packers coach Mike McCarthy spoke to Favre again Tuesday night, but there was no indication that their conversation did anything to change the fractured relationship between Favre and the franchise. "It was just very general," McCarthy said of the conversation with Favre, who was excused from practice Wednesday. "Just how he was doing, where he was with the process, things like that." McCarthy said he was happy the rest of his players were getting a chance to move forward. "We talked about it last night," McCarthy said. "The players want resolution, they want what everybody wants. To come out here every day and talk about somebody that is not here and then shows up, it's gone on too long, and understandably so. They want to play football." Packers players vented frustration over the Favre situation Tuesday, after fans chanting "Bring Back Brett!" turned practice into a zoo-like atmosphere and reporters continued asking questions about Favre instead of football. After McCarthy made it clear Tuesday that Favre's football future wouldn't be in Green Bay, players seemed to have some sense of closure. "It was just important to get things moving," Packers tackle Mark Tauscher (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5253) said. "Obviously, there's no closure as of yet, but I think we've kind of been told what's going on and I think we all kind of know where everything stands." Packers cornerback Charles Woodson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4271) -- who said Tuesday that the saga had "gone on long enough" -- said Wednesday that the Packers' front office gave players the answers they needed. "From what I understand, for the most part it's taken care of," Woodson said. "Now it's just about the Packers and not about the situation. It's over now. From what I understand, it's pretty much over." And if the Packers end up playing against Favre in Tampa on Sept. 28? "Once you're on another team, you're on another team," Woodson said. "I think for the most part the locker room would have liked to see him back here. But like I say, once you're on another team ..." The final split between the Packers and Favre became obvious Tuesday night. McCarthy told reporters that after extensive conversations with Favre over two days, he had determined that Favre doesn't have the right mind-set to play for the Packers. After approximately six hours of what McCarthy called "brutally honest" conversations with Favre, McCarthy said Favre couldn't seem to get past emotional wounds that were opened as tensions mounted in recent weeks -- even with the chance to win his starting job back potentially on the table. "The train has left the station, whatever analogy you want," McCarthy said Tuesday. "He needs to jump on the train and let's go. Or, if we can't get past things that have happened, I have to keep the train moving." Favre left Lambeau Field just before Packers practice Tuesday afternoon. "We're at a stalemate," Favre told ESPN Tuesday morning. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

BRETT IS IN THE BOX! BRETT FAVRE IS A NEW YORK JET! OF ALL THE DRAMATIC THINGS IVE EVER SEEN, BRETT FAVRE IS A JET!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

You're just happy you don't have to play him twice a year..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Guessing Chad Pennington's gonna get cut within a few days and head over to Minnesota.</font>

[Triple A]

holy shit

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Favre to...............

Wait who is the Jets #1 wideout?

[Triple A]

Wayne Chrebet

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Is Curtis Martin still the starting tailback?

[Triple A]

Neil O'Donnell

[Triple A]

This is crazy shit. I have a feeling it is not gonna work out at all and this is kinda a waste of a year if he just leaves after this season but whatever, gonna be a mad exciting season to watch and will get the Jets a lot of coverage obviously and make them a "team to watch". :mad: Also their schedule is mad easy this year so who knows

[Nervous Ferret]

http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/PatsBlog/archives/pennington0909.jpg


RIP Chad :'(. I will never forget 2002 :wavesad:

[Triple A]

Gonna be crazy weird to see Pennington in a diff jersey. Such a lovable guy. :'(

[SammyG]

...And you're thinking about going to Palestine.

[Triple A]

NAH saving that for like February-March :cool:

[D Mac]

holy shit

[D Mac]

Dammit Chiefs you fucked this up. :mad:

[Nervous Ferret]

He knew he was slow, and he knew he couldn't throw more than 15 yards without completely floating it. But he seemed like he cared/tried SO HARD :'( Was always fucking standing on the bench waving towels around whenever the defense was on the field, and he was always right there on the sideline when he was in a cast (which was almost always :( ) Love the guy

[D Mac]

John Clayton from ESPN:

This trade is a thumbs down for the Hall of Fame quarterback.

Jets fans have to be excited because they no longer have to worry about Chad Pennington's weak arm or the inconsistencies of the developing Kellen Clemens. Favre brings to New York the potential of a 4,000-yard season as a passer who can hit better than 63 percent of his throws.

But if his heart wasn't into competing against Aaron Rodgers for the starting job in Green Bay, how is Favre going to be playing second fiddle to Brady in the AFC East? Mike McCarthy had it right Tuesday. He said Favre was in a tough place.

To come out of retirement and have only hopes of a wild-card berth has to be disappointing to Favre. True, he tested the will of the Packers' organization and lost. He thought he was big enough to get his release. He wasn't. He thought he could force a trade to the Vikings. He couldn.'t.

Tired and mentally exhausted from his Green Bay visit, he agreed to listen to going to Tampa Bay or the Jets. He preferred the Vikings. The Packers said no and traded him out of the conference.

The Packers beat down their icon. They've moved on to Rodgers. Favre only agreed to the trade because he knew it was time to get in camp and train for the regular season.

Going to the Jets is certainly a downer for him.

[D Mac]

I wonder if they'll change the Madden cover to a Jets uniform. :lol:

[Triple A]

Shut up John Clayton you huge fucking nerd

[SammyG]

Has Madden 09 been released? Sorry if that is the dumbest question ever.

[D Mac]

Next week I think.

No, nowhere near enough time to change the cover, much less the roster. Unless you download the roster updates Favre will porbably not even be in the game... Back to Chad :'(

[D Mac]

Roster update.

[D Mac]

To come out of retirement and have only hopes of a wild-card berth has to be disappointing to Favre.


LOL

[SammyG]

At least this bullshit is over with now. Thank god.
It can't be. Tommorrow morning there will probably be reports of the trade falling through or something

[Nervous Ferret]

http://www.nyjetsfan.com/images/chadbill.gif

Come on, you can't beat that

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

LOL the head fake

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Raymond,
Go Jets!
-Chad Pennington #10

[Gonzo]

Has to be the highlight of his career right there.

[Nervous Ferret]

The best is it was like 31-3 in the 4th quarter and 4th and goal from like the 1 and fucking Paul Hackett roles Pennington out and he just puts DA MOVES on London Fletcher

[Nervous Ferret]

Can't wait for Mike & Mike in the morning tommorrow, Greeny will be absolutely losing it. All he has been talking about for the last few weeks is how elated he would be if Favre went to the Jets

[Gonzo]

Yeah been listening to M&M. Pretty hilarious with his songs and what not.

[SammyG]

Jets fans will be thrilled when they see a pass travelling over 25 yards.

2nd rounder if Favre plays 70 percent of snaps, and Jets make playoffs.

<font color=goldenrod>Supposedly in the game, Favre isn't in the exhibition rosters but when you start a franchise you have the option of either keeping Favre retired or transferring him to one of the 32 teams.</font>

[Team Sheep]

Awesome! When it was being talked about Favre going to the Jets I wasn't thrilled, just thought it would be a waste because it's a short term fix and he'll only be there for a season. But hey there's always time to start rebuilding next year :P And with the good schedule, could get quite far.

GO JETS.

[Loose Cannon]

J.E.T.S. JETS JETS JETS

with the Jets sorry ass luck, he'll blow out his knee first play of week 1 probably

[Loose Cannon]

oh and fuck, I would trade away half the team if the fucking Jets get to the Superbowl.

and I thought I wore patriot blinders... wanna bet on 10-6?

I can't wait to see if the over/under for the season goes up and take the under.

Let's be real here guys... he's a 38 going to be 39 during the season year old gun slinger.

yeah, he had a decent year last year.. but look at 2006 and 2005.

He's never had to learn a "new system" since he was traded from Atlanta.

He's never had to learn a whole new set of personel.

What type of shape is he in?

and it's not like this is Feb or March... the season is a month away.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a bum and he's should be an upgrade on Pennington, but a little reality check.

Dunno, I just think the downside for the Jets is bigger then the upside... although at a worst case of a 3rd round pick isn't a horrible gamble..

and Ferguson is going to have to step it up big time... Mangold has been a beast since being drafted but Ferguson hasn't lived up to the hype and if they start spining Favre blind side blocker like a top they're in big trouble.

[VonErichLives]

oh and fuck, I would trade away half the team if the fucking Jets get to the Superbowl.

the contract has a clause that if the Jets deal him to Minessota they owe the Packers 3 first round picks..

So, the Vikes just need another Hershal Walker deal... send 5 #1's to the Jets and the Jets send 3 to GB and pick up 2 1st round picks for nothing!

[Kris P Lettus]

You're just happy you don't have to play him twice a year..

No..

I'm glad one of my heroes doesn't play for a team I hate.. We did fine against Favre the last time we played them.. We have more trouble with mobile QB's like Gracia than anything..

[Kris P Lettus]

http://www.nflelite.com/home.php

Kinda like myspace but for NFL fans..

:y:

[Nervous Ferret]

16-0 :roll:

[VonErichLives]

the Jets will probably be around 8-8 with a shot at a wildcard, but they probably could have been that without Favre.

Dunoo, if you're good at drafting, just can't see a 3rd round pick on a 38yr old QB that ain't going to be the difference between going deep in the playoffs and not.

There was talk today that Mangini and (whoever the GM is) felt that had to do something to keep their jobs, but others think the ownership loves Mangini and he could go 1-15 and be fine.

Jets fans? which is closer to the truth?

[Nervous Ferret]

After MANGENIOUS made the playoffs 2 years ago there was a huge media splooge all over him and Tennanbaum(GM), and anything could have happened last year (and it did) and he would be fine.

The Jets were 4-12 last year, BUT, they had some completely ridiculous injuries, worst I can ever remember for the JEts injury-wise. Also there were at least 5 or 6 games that the Jets could have easily won if they had caught a few breaks, and probably 2-3 that they DEFINITELY should have won but blew it because they are the Jetd and that is my life. (I'm sure every team could say something like that though)

I thought the JEts were probably going to have between 7 and 9 wins THIS season based on the volume of their offseason moves and the fact that they really were not that bad last year, but with Favre instead of Chad I think 10 wins & a wild card is more than realistic.

But to answer your question, if the Jets went 1-15, pretty sure Mangini would be out. I don't think anybody could really survive two afwul seasons in a row in New York, especially if they were to have less wins then the prior season after spending 100+ million this offseason...

As Favre arrives, Jets cut ties with Pennington
Associated Press


NEW YORK -- Chad Pennington quickly became the odd man out once Brett Favre joined the New York Jets.

Pennington was released Thursday, ending the quarterback's eight-year, injury-plagued career with the Jets. He was expected to find a new home soon: the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins were mentioned as possible destinations.

"It's a bittersweet moment for us," general manager Mike Tannenbaum said early Thursday when announcing the trade for Favre.

"I have all the respect in the world for Chad as a person and a player," he said. "He gave his heart and soul to this organization for a long, long time. I really appreciate everything he has done."

A first-round pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, Pennington became the popular face of the franchise for several seasons and arrived in training camp competing with Kellen Clemens for the starting job.

The Jets jettisoned Pennington to clear salary cap space once they acquired Favre from Green Bay for a conditional draft pick.

The 32-year-old Pennington had three years, plus a team option year, remaining on his contract. He was due $4.8 million this season and his salary cap figure is $7.8 million.

Pennington ranks first in NFL history among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 attempts with a 65.6 completion percentage. He was often recognized as being a true leader in the huddle and an intelligent field general, but was dogged throughout his time in New York for his lack of arm strength.

Big things were expected from Pennington, who had a brilliant college career at Marshall. He beat out popular veteran Vinny Testaverde in 2002 and led the Jets to the playoffs, including a stunning 41-0 victory over Indianapolis.

The injuries began the following season, when he broke his left wrist in a preseason game against the Giants. He returned the following year and led the Jets within a game of the AFC Championship, but then underwent two rotator cuff operations in eight months.

Pennington's career was in doubt, but he bounced back and was the NFL Comeback Player of the Year after beating out Clemens, Brooks Bollinger and Patrick Ramsey for the starting job in 2006. He had his best all-around season, throwing for a career-high 3,352 yards while again leading the Jets to the playoffs and starting every game for the first time.

Coach Eric Mangini anointed him the starter the following offseason, but Pennington struggled mightily before being benched in favor of Clemens after Week 8.

Pennington was 1-7 as the starter last season, and Clemens went 3-5, but the veteran actually had the better season statistically. He threw for 1,765 yards and 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions; Clemens had 1,529 yards, five TDs and 10 interceptions in 10 fewer pass attempts.

Pennington had done a bit better than Clemens early in training camp, and was considered the favorite to open the season as the starter at Miami. Clemens, entering his third season, will now be the backup to Favre.

[Triple A]

Also I love Mangini and I think even if somehow the Jets went like 4-12 this year he still would get at least another year. I don't see how they would go 4-12 though unless they are riddled with injuries, which is then an excuse on its own for keeping him.

[SammyG]

Look. I don't think the Jets will go 10-6, despite their easy schedule. Who does Favre have to throw to? Cotchery? Coles?

[Triple A]

I GUARANTEE IT!!!!!!

[Nervous Ferret]

Who did he ever have to throw to in Green Bay? Are you going to tell me that Donald Driver is SO much better than Coles? Cotchery is tremendous anyway, plus Brad SMith will act as the Greg Jennings type home run hitter.

[SammyG]

lol what NerF, the Packers had sweet receivers. Jennings, Driver, Martin, and Jones are all awesome.

Plus Ryan Grant caught some balls, is Thomas Jones really a receiving threat?

[Tranny]

I'm happy for the Jets. I like the team, and I hope this benefits them, and it sounds like it may. On the other hand, I'm waiting for him to retire again before the season even starts. Fuck Brett Favre and I hope the people of New York tear him apart. :mad:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I don't care if it's just preseason, so glad to see my team playing football again</font> :love:

[Nervous Ferret]

lol what NerF, the Packers had sweet receivers. Jennings, Driver, Martin, and Jones are all awesome.

Plus Ryan Grant caught some balls, is Thomas Jones really a receiving threat?You shouldn't really speak of what you don't know. Remember the '07 Packers had Favre and the '07 Jets had Pennington/Clemens.

Coles (missed 4 games with injury): 55 rec 646 yards 6TDs
Cotchery (missed 1 game): 82 catches, 1130 yards 2 TDs
Brad Smith: 32 catches 325 yards 2 TDs (ot to mention all the trick plays they run with him at QB and reverses and the like)
Thomas Jones: 28 catches 217 yards 1 TD (plus 1,100+ rushing yards)
Leon Washington: 36 catches, 317 yards (+400 rushing yards. Ultimate 3rd down screen back)
Chris Baker: 41 catches, 409 yards 3TDs

The Jets also vastly improved their O-Line and drafted Dustin Keller from Purdue to eventually become their new TE. They are really high on him

2007 Packers:
Driver (missed 1 game): 82 catches, 1048 yards, 2 TDs (SOOO much better than Cotchery right?)
Jennings (missed 3 games): 53 catches, 920 yards, 12 TDs
Lee: 48-575-6
Martin: 16-42-4
Jones: 47-676-2
Grant: 30-145-0


I mean yeah a little better for the Packers but really not much. Aside from the TD numbers pretty much the sameish and I think the Jets did win 9 less games so holla

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

How long until we hear someone say "B-B-B-Bretty and The Jets"?

[OssMan]

WHAT Bob Papa left the Giants radio broadcast and he will do Thursday and Saturday night games on NFL network now. :( :( :( :( Hopefully he replaces Cris Collinsworth though because he is the best broadcaster ever :mad:

[Gonzo]

Yeah I am kinda contemplating muting the broadcast for the 2nd half. Bob Papas is the GOAT.

[SammyG]

OMG SAINTS LEADING 7-0 AFTER 1, WHO DAT WHO DAT WHO DAT

..

[SammyG]

By the way, that other thread needs to close.. the offseason one.

[Nervous Ferret]

Chansi Stuckey FROM yeahhh clemson gunna make the Jets as the 4th reciever this year :cool:

[SammyG]

I really like that rookie Arizona running back.

[U-Warrior]

I see the Jets improving with Favre, but this 10-6 talk is stretching it, in my opinion. Quite a few teams in the AFC caught bad breaks, and could have gotten a better record last season, so that's not really a factor.

And I think a lot of people are underestimating their schedule.

[VonErichLives]

I bet you $10 the Jets go at least 10-6 VEL

Deal.

[VonErichLives]

By the way, that other thread needs to close.. the offseason one.

and this one needs to be called pre-season then have another week 1.

went to the Pats game tonight, was gonna bring the camera, but was supposed to rain so I left it home and it didn't rain...

it's amazing what the Krafts are doing with the whole patriot place... heck even the pro-shop you can buy autographed helmets and shit...

anyway, wouldn't be shocked to see Cassell cut, he looks like shit tonight and hasn't impressed anyone, word is even in 7-on-7 drills he's always throwing picks.

Guitierez looked decent and the rookie QB (forgot him name) looked good, see him being groomed as the backup or maybe used as trade bait in a year or two (like the Packers always used to do).

Mayo looks good, strong solo takles, break through, sheding blocks... was gonna get a Wilfork jersey this year, but might get Mayo instead... gonna wait a bit (Katenmoyer looked good his first few games also..).

[Triple A]

It is a deal.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Really can't believe still try to predict (and then bet on it) the NFL, it is impossible.

Did anyone really think last year that the Superbowl would be the 18-0 Patriots facing a Giants team that was regarded (by a few people on TPWW) as one of the misleading 10 win teams ever? Then the Giants beat the Patriots? Come on

Also pretty sure everyone had the Panthers as the "pick" in the NFC last year.

[Triple A]

It's not "impossible". NFL is mad unpredictable yeah, but it is a pretty "educated guess" I think. Jets were 10-6 2 years ago and were destroyed by injuries last year, and I think the team this year is better than the team 2 years ago. And with the seemingly easy schedule I dont' see how it is such a crazy prediction.

[U-Warrior]

Yeah, but the Jets aren't the only team that's been improving. The Bills, Titans, Bengals, and Ravens have all been steadily improving as well. Hell even the Dolphins are looking like they won't be nearly as terrible as last year.

[D Mac]

Chiefs should go after Pennington.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah reuinte with Herm. Would be lovely for them

[D Mac]

Did Chad and Herm not get along?

[Nervous Ferret]

Not to my knowledge. Herm was always Chad's biggest supporter when NY was calling for Chad's head. He is a good QB. He is nothing special, but he is def an NFL starting QB.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Yeah, but the Jets aren't the only team that's been improving. The Bills, Titans, Bengals, and Ravens have all been steadily improving as well. Hell even the Dolphins are looking like they won't be nearly as terrible as last year.

Titans are going backwards if anything. Bengals keep losing players to suspensions or crippling injuries. Ravens just lost one of the best left tackles of all time and age is starting to catch up to guys like Lewis and McAlister. Only team that is really getting better is the Bills, and they lost a lotta guys to injury last year too.

[VonErichLives]

Really can't believe still try to predict (and then bet on it) the NFL, it is impossible.


"Impossible"? no... as difficult as betting on any other sport yes.

personally, I prefer when betting on nfl games, betting on over/under rather then picking the spread.

Not to my knowledge. Herm was always Chad's biggest supporter when NY was calling for Chad's head. He is a good QB. He is nothing special, but he is def an NFL starting QB.

dunno, I can only think of 2 maybe 3 teams Chad would be considered for a starter on..

KC, Mia and maybe Chicago...

There was talk around here of bringing him in to backup brady... I think Miami would be a great fit for him, plus a chance to beat the jets 2x a year.

Did Parcells draft him?

[VonErichLives]

So, the Giants must be pissed off..

They win the super bowl and no one in new york cares...

instead a 4-12 team with a 38-39yr old QB is getting all the news, even have Favre doing something with bloomberg this week..

well Giants, there's you're "no respect" motivation for this year!

[RP]

<font color=goldenrod>Nah, the Super Bowl was over 6 months ago...they were the toast of New York that whole time. Justin Tuck even said that as soon as he got his Super Bowl ring, that was when last year was over for him.

They'll still get to be front and center on the season opener and get their whole SB ceremony before the game and all that too.</font>

[Gonzo]

NEW YORK GIANTS SUPERBOWL XLII + XLIII CHAMPIONS

REPEAT

[VonErichLives]

i picked the Giants;)

yes but, you always pick whoever plays the Pats so that made you 1-18 last year :P

I cant believe the NFL is cracking down on tailgaiting. Fucking assholes seriously. NFL is just not as fun as it once was.

Really? How? I mean, does the NFL really have control over the parking lots of stadiums even if they're not team owned?

[VonErichLives]

I love how Favre said he wanted to go to Minnesota out of spite...

dunno, this is looking more and more like a nightmare for the Jets cause let's face it, this is a 1 or 2yr deal... if the Jets don't win it all in the next 1 or 2yrs, Favre probably won't still be around.

[Triple A]

In the press conference, it was like the Jets were dating this new chick who was definitely not over her old boyfriend and kept talking about him all the time and was just using you as a rebound. But whatever I Love Brett Favre.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He will break your heart AAA, try not to get too attached.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Also VEL yeah Parcells drafted Pennington

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints looked pretty good last night.. 1st string offense way awesome even without Deuce, Shockey, and Colston.. Second string line looked horrid.. Defense looked OK.. Not as mush pressure on their QB as I'd like but whatever.. Stecker is a beast.. Palko needs to calm down.. I hope we keep all our WR even though I don't see how it'll happen.. With Meach and Arrington looking so solid, I'd think Copper and Henderson are gone.. Specially with how good Skyler Green is gonna be on KRs..

Who Dat??

[DrA]

The NFL isn't that hard to predict. I usually can tell how about 20 teams are going to do correctly before the season even starts. It's those shaky teams like Tampa Bay or Minnesota that you can never tell how they are going to do.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Lets see your 20 team prediction then, we will compare after wards

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I once had a dream that every team in the league went 0-0-16 and somehow all managed to score the exact same amount of points and touchdowns and all that. So the entire playoffs had to be determined my coin flip (the final tiebreaker).

Would be the best chance some teams would have.</font> :o

[RoXer]

If the Jets go 11-5 Triple A loses his bet.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

No he doesn't, he said at least 10-6

[VonErichLives]

If the Jets go 11-5 Triple A loses his bet.

No he doesn't, he said at least 10-6

exactly, Roxen it's an O/U bet...

10-6 or over Trips wins
9-5 or under I win.

Which I expect him to autograph the bill and frame it. No paypal crap.

[DrA]

Lets see your 20 team prediction then, we will compare after wards

Alright. I haven't paid attention to anything in the offseason this year. But that makes it better, you get jaded when you look at teams in a player by player manner.

NFC West:

1. Seattle Seahawks I guess.
2. St. Louis Rams. Is Marc Bulger still their quarterback? They'll probably be 8-8 or so.
3. Arizona Cardinals. I don't think they will ever go above 500.
4. San Francisco 49ers. Isn't JT O'Sullivan going to be their starting quarterback this year? I know Frank Gore has been good and they have a couple of good linebackers, but this is a team that never seems to get things together.

NFC South:

1. Atlanta Falcons. The team that always finishes last the year before always finishes first. Knowing this division it will probably happen again.
2. New Orleans Saints. 9-7 team looking at a chance to be a wild card.
3. Carolina Panthers. Generic 6-10, 7-9 team.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are always good one year and shit the next. This is their year to be shit.

NFC East:

1. Dallas Cowboys. Yup.
2. New York Giants. They will be one of those teams that look awful in the first half of the season but win like five games in a row and make the playoffs with a 9-7 or 8-8 record.
3. Philadelphia Eagles. Will be like 3-0 like they always are then 5-8 for the rest of the season.
4. Washington Redskins. Even though they have that quarterback that is doing well they will still find a way to suck.

NFC North:

1. Chicago Bears. One of those "surprise teams" I suppose.
2. Green Bay Packers. I doubt they will make the playoffs.
3. Minnesota Vikings. One of those teams that get hyped but don't live up to it.
4. Detroit Lions. Need I say more?

AFC West:

1. Denver Broncos. They seem like they could be pretty good this year.
2. Oakland Raiders. They've got some players.
3. San Diego Chargers. Norv Turner.
4. Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City Chiefs.

AFC South:

1. Indianapolis Colts. I don't see this team losing the division, at least not this year.
2. Tennessee Titans. Why not?
3. Jacksonville Jaguars. Random shuffling.
4. Houston Texans. They are just "one of those teams".

AFC East:

1. New England. No one in that divison really has a chance.
2. New York Jets. Them and the Jets will be equally as bland.
3. Buffalo Bills. Them and the Bills will be equally as bland.
4. Miami Dolphins. 4-12.

NFC North:

1. Pittsburgh Steelers. 11-5.
2. Baltimore Ravens. They will make the playoffs for some reason.
3. Cincinnati Bengals. Eh.
4. Cleveland Browns. I kinda feel sorry for them, but this franchise just has loser written all over it.

[D Mac]

:mad:

[D Mac]

Cowfags will be 0-16

[Triple A]

I will start an NFL Predictions thread.

[Kris P Lettus]

No way the Falcons are better than the Saints with Chris Redman..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well now that I look at it, getting 20 teams correct really isn't that far off considering you could 12 wrong...so maybe (two teams I think you got wrong right off the bat are the Falcons and the Browns...we'll see tho)

[RP]

yes but, you always pick whoever plays the Pats so that made you 1-18 last year :P



Really? How? I mean, does the NFL really have control over the parking lots of stadiums even if they're not team owned?


I picked the Giants to go to the Superbowl before the season started. I picked Giants vs Colts and then i picked them again when the playoffs started.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

YOU ARE THE MAN

[OssMan]

What if the Jets go 10-5-1 or something. I guess nobody wins. Shoulda said "they will win at least ten games"

[OssMan]

Giants fans realize that they dont have a chance in hell to do anything this year right? You guys do realize that you have former players and current players who are tearing your team apart before the season even starts right? Coughlin should sit Strahan until he's fire. Just to make a point that he wont stand for that shit. Now every player in that lockeroom thinks Coughlin is a joke and if they thought that before hand, because they had to do some hard work, then wowwwwwwwww . Sucks to be a fan of a bunch of whiney pussy's.

Fuck Tiki Barber. I used to like the guy alot. Now i just think hes a punk bitch that cant say things to another mans face. He has to write them in a book and hide behind tv cameras now. Some hero you guys got there.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol

I question if this guy graduated high school sometimes

[Gonzo]

Doesn't he work in a hospital too? I don't know, everyone has gotten pretty stupid in the NFL threads at some point. Except me. I'm infallible.

Is that a female jersey DM??

[Kris P Lettus]

Pennington to the Dolphins..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol Dolphins. They draft John Beck with a second round pick last year, Chad Henne with a second round pick this year, and then sign Pennington so both guys are gonna ride the bench anyway.

Not exactly surprising seeing as Parcells drafted Pennington. But I thought Chad was gonna be a Viking.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

They need a "vet" though for a year or two to help their younger QBs..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I guess so...but they aren't exactly in a position to win anytime soon. I'm guessing we'll be seeing a Beck/Henne battle to see who gets to be the #2 QB and take over once the Dolphins fall out of it</font> :o

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well I don't know if they exactly expect either Beck or Henne to be the "QBs of the future" anyway...if they where that confident with Beck in the first place they wouldn't have used a 2nd rounder on Henne

[DrA]

I wouldn't be surprised if most of my predictions were wrong this year. What I'm trying to say is that, though you really never know what is going to happen, you pretty much know how about 60% of teams are going to do. You just never know which 60% it's going to be.

The thing that everyone does is base what they think is going to happen this year on what happened last year. "The Browns (or some team) were good last year, and they got some good new players. I think they are going to be better this year." There's too much of that type of thinking involved, and it tends to be false usually.

[Triple A]

I don't think it tends to be false. It is a pretty logical way of thinking about it. There are usually like 2 or 3 teams that are completely surprising but for the most part it's an accurate way to look at it I think.

[SammyG]

Bulger 3/9, 29 yds, 1 INT.

NIIIIIIIIICE. GO RAMS.

FUCKERS.

lol @ Brock Berlin doing good.

[Triple A]

Def gonna go check out Jets training camp one day this week, see Favre and whatnot. :love:

[Gonzo]

Triple A do you like the NY Giants? I don't recall. I know the Jets are your #1 but do you holla respect at the GMen?

[Triple A]

Yeah. I watch pretty much every Giants game too and "root for them". Like doesn't break my heart if they lose but I grew up watching them too so why would I root for like the Cowboys against them or some shit. I know a lot of people in NY hate the "other" NY team but I dunno, not a huge fan of that, besides baseball actually. Really kinda hate the Mets because Mets fans are giant dickheads.

[OssMan]

Every Jets fan hates the Giants but it's not the other way around. Also how can a YANKEES fan say Mets fans are dickheads. You are a fan of the biggest dickhead team in the world besides Duke

[Triple A]

I am not saying Yankees fans aren't dickheads b/c they def are, but Mets fans, I want to kill them. Mad obnoxious. Like any time the Mets win a game against the Yankees they are mad happy and have to like try to rub it in your face, and they think they are so cool for living in NY and not liking the Yankees and prefering the #2 team instead.

[Gonzo]

Oh Triple A that is ice cold.

[Nervous Ferret]

LOL@ Yankees and the like he is saying

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Def gonna go check out Jets training camp one day this week, see Favre and whatnot. :love:

[Kris P Lettus]

Camp ends here Tuesday.. When does Jets camp end??

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Patriots came ends Monday I believe, I was gonna go but its at like 8:30 in the morning...would have to leave my house by like 7:45 or earlier (depending on traffic) so I don't think I'll be making it

[Triple A]

Jets still have training camp Monday, Wed, and Thurs of this week.

Tomorrow and Thurs are at 1:30, that sounds like the best idea.

Wed is 8:45 AM and 5:45 PM, pshh

[Kris P Lettus]

Going back for the last time tomorrow..

:(

[Triple A]

I am afraid it is gonna be even crazier than it was the other day when I go. They had 10,500 people and that got a ton of coverage everywhere so I feel like even more people are gonna go next time, which is tomorrow.

Take some pix.

So glad the Dolphins went after him instead of Brees..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also, the Brown's WR Braylon Edwards was running sprints in his socks when Donte "Stonehands" Stallworth stepped on the back of his foot causing a cut that required stitches..

lol

[Triple A]

Was raining today so I didn't go. :mad: I will try Wednesday hopefullyyyyyyyyy

[Kris P Lettus]

Last practice is in like 45 mins but I'll prolly not make it..

"The Jets were obviously afraid their status as laughingstock of the league was in jeopardy. Great work, guys."

from what I'm reading their whole goal with her is it will get fans to stop tailgating earlier and come into the stadium earlier (hence start buying things).

think she still had a job with them by week 6?

[Kris P Lettus]

Just heard on Sportscenter that the Packers radio announcer is calling Arron Rodgers "A Rodg"..

LOL

:(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

They aired their scrimmage earlier on in preseason on NFL Network and one of the dudes was calling him that as well.

I've been watching a lot of replays of preseason games on NFL Network like the last week or so and wow the hometown announcers (during the regular season they don't have hometown guys on there) are so biased, like I expect it but some of them are really over the top. I thought Tommy Heinson was the only one getting away with that haha

[SammyG]

Meh, what do you expect from local broadcasting..? It should be biased.

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah, "The Cajun Cannon" Bobby Herbert does the play by play for the Saints.. Do you expect a former Saints QB to pull for another team??

i fucking hate Tom Brady. He's a douche without being a douche, which makes him a born douche in my book.

[RP]

Oh yah, i wanna bring Lorenzon some cake. I dont know why. I just wanna get a plate of cake and walk it out on the practice field for him to eat.

LOL@ the look on Marino's face at the end of the Boomer clip

That dubbed one wasn't funny at all though

[VonErichLives]

yeah, I remember one show they asked boomer and chris carter "would you rather be in the hall of fame or have a super bowl ring" and both said HOF, and someone else on the show I forget who laughed and said "spoken like 2 guys who have never worn a ring"...

The funny thing is, Boomer was right, until the Colts built up that Defense Payton was set to be the next Marino, no fault of his own, but those early years he had no defense and a team doesn't win like that. Now he has a full team.

[VonErichLives]

it's also funny how much Marino always hated the Pats, I think the only time he picked them was the SB they lost this year... which is kinda funny cause he used to destroy the patriots every year, especially in Miami the pats didn't win for like 20yrs.

The Meadowlands Sports Complex has issued new rules regarding alcohol and fan behavior.

Tailgate parties can only start five hours before New York Giants and Jets games instead of seven. Also, season ticketholders who are ejected from the stadium or arena will have their tickets revoked.

Last season, security at Gate D was increased at Jets games because hundreds of men would gather at halftime and demand that women expose their breasts. View-blocking banners will be hung on the spiral staircase to help eliminate the problem.

Unchanged is the halftime cutoff for alcohol sales

After seeing that, I went back to read the article Stima posted and she says:

“If it gets them in the seats earlier and out of the freezing parking lots a couple of beers earlier maybe, so be it. I promise I’ll put on as good a show as I possibly can.”

Halftime is ridiculous for alcohol cutoffs..

[VonErichLives]

it says "unchanged" so I assume this is not a new rule for 1/2time.

not sure what it is at Gillette, I wanna say sometime in the 3rd...

Also, gilette I think they only start tailgating 4hrs before the game starts (thats when they open the lots).

The problem is the idiots who get too drunk ruin it for everyone else.

The having tickets revoked is how they do it at Gilette, there is such a waiting list if you do something stupid (or someone who gave/sold your tickets to) to get kicked out they pull your tickets.

[Kris P Lettus]

They stop selling after the third at the Chocolate Thunderdome..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>WTF putting up view-blocking banners on the spiral staircases :| Those are great for views of the city and all that.

Anyway, ROFL Chad Johnson has taken steps to legally change his name to Chad Ocho Cinco

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/12/johnson-wants-to-be-ocho-cinco-legally/

The Bengals play a game against the Giants at Giants Stadium this year, I damn near pissed myself trying to hear the Bob Sheppard-impersonating announcer saying "Palmer to Ocho Cinco..."</font>

[SammyG]

LOL chad

[Gonzo]

What a dipshit. I like Chad Johnson but come the fuck on.

[OssMan]

I hope he gets traded and the team he gets traded to has retired #85 or has someone who won't give it up.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't think he will actually go through with it........at least I hope not

And AssMeng the only 2 teams with the # 85 retired are the Rams and the Lions.....so good luck with that

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think it'd be funnier if the court allows it but then once his playing career is over he tries to change it back and they say no.</font> :lol:

John Lynch is visiting New England today.

Lynch has said before if the Pats didn't sign Harrison he already would have been here, and Belicheck was convincing him they could use both of them but Lynch wanted a promise he'd start all the time...

[Kris P Lettus]

Who is yall's other starting saftey??

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

James Sanders was last year but he is injured right now, Brandon Merriweather (from The U) has been playing with the first team in his absence. I really don't see how Lynch and Harrison can play together but maybe they could think up some crazy shit or something

[Kris P Lettus]

Do they not like each other or something??

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

No they are just both the same exact player, physical hitting safeties that are great against the run but have very limited coverage abilities

[Kris P Lettus]

I always thought Lynch was good in coverage..

:dunno:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah but Lynch is 36 years old now...

Harrison used to be good in coverage too but not so much anymore

[Kris P Lettus]

Gotcha..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't see him signing with the Patriots anyway, I know hes visiting or whatever but I'd be real surprised if it happened.

[VonErichLives]

word is he left Denver because they said he wouldn't be a starter, I'd also be surprised to see a lynch/harrison backfield, but maybe Belicheck can convince Lynch that they rotate players so much he'll still see plenty of time? Plus if he wants a shot at one more ring, NE or Indy would be the top 2 places to go. (sorry NYG, no offense intended).
