NFL 2005 Season Thread
 

yeah noticed the other was a "preview", so I guess this is for the season.

Raiders/Pats in like 10 mins

Who is everyone betting on this weekend. I like Carolina, Cinci, Minnesota and St Louis to cover the spreads. My friend is pretty confident in New England and Denver but I don't know what to expect from Denver this season and the Pats spread is too big for me to take against a team like Oakland.

Good game so far. Oakland's run defense looks pretty solid in the first quarter and the Pats TE looks like a stud.

LOL Branch just made a big play, Oakland's secondary is awful

11 minutes in and Brady has thrown for 100+ yards and that doesn't even count two overthrown balls

RANDY FUCKIN MOSS!!!!!!!:eek:

yeah Bradys got 197 yards with 5 minutes left in the half

What's with this lame fucking halftime song about? Fucking country hicks.

ABC needs to wisen up.

Yeah dude the Raiders need to shore up their pass defense, get some rush going. Dropping 8 into coverage isn't working for them, Brady will pick that apart all day long no matter which way you slice it. Gotta get some pressure and force some bad throws.

Oaklands games will be fun this year, high scoring, since their defense is crap. Or their run defense is lookin good actually tonite. Thair secondary is just young but they got talent...Stanford Routt is the best freakin name.

we need to get a mod in here sticky the "official ______ season" threads

Good call, that and the "footy" thread for all them Euro footy fans. :D

I'm not sure what to think about the Pats O. On one hand they looked very good. Great actually. On the other hand, the Raiders defense was horrible. 16 pentaltys . Glad to see the Raiders working on game discipline.

Randy Moss is sick. I just watched an NFL network interview with him. He seems so much more mature. He could win MVP this year.

Guess that was Warren Sapp's last game.

"I say the day they beat me is the day I retire because I'm no longer able to play this game like I should."
--- Warren Sapp on the New England Patriots just before Super Bowl XXXVIII (Patriots v Panthers) - Jan. 2004

Raiders looked awful last night and Kerry Collins made at least 5 big mistakes that cost them fiedl position and pissibly points. Giving away damn near 160 yards in penalites doesn't exactly help either. And the Pats were the Pats. Not in mid-season form yet, but if they had been, they would've won in a romp.

I felt the same way. I predicted Moss would catch two TDs and beat Harrison, so I was 2/3 right.

Courtney Anderson, where the hell did that come from.

Fucking Pollard had better come up big this weekend now :mad: :$

I watched the first half, and I thought that it was more the case of the Raiders just being bad then the Pats being really good. You could tell that the Pats D was a little shaky, but I don't think they will have any major problems without Bruschi. The Raiders defense on the other hand, was absolutely awful. The Pats were running in and out of the secondary.

The second half, the Pats did what makes them the champs. They adjusted. Totally shut down the Raiders passing game and pretty much picked there way through the Raiders defense to score. Raiders just never had enough.

Randy Moss cutting back on Harrison was :drool:

I don't think it was much the Patriots doing either, the Raiders pass defense was like swiss cheese. Moss juking out Harrison though was :heart:

Can't wait till Sunday though. Going down to the Meadowlands to watch the Giants and the Cards baby. GGGGGGG Men.

That was a winnable game. Kerry Collins is bad.

I'm not sure what to make of Collins. When he's pressured. Shit hits the fan. He has no clue what to do, but if he get time to sit back there and look at the defense. He'll throw for 350yrds and 3 td's.

On the intentional grounding call. All he had to do was throw it past the line of scrimmage and he was good to go. Couldnt even do that.

Also, for a guy known for the long ball, he missed Moss at least twice in the endzone, and really should've thown it higher on that depe route that Moss adjusted to. He also had a chance to throw underneath and give his team a FG attempt. Just a lot of iffy decisions; which is kind of a Kerry Collins staple.

Have a feeling a lot of Raiders fans are going to be bitter after this year.

Ha. I had to deal with that shit for like 5 years. :|

Collins would rip shit up if he has time to throw. I don't know what the Raiders are doing having him roll out because he is terrible on the move, definitely not a mobile QB by any means. Collins is your cookie cutter pocket passer. Give him time and he will rip you apart but any good rush will mess him up.

He's Drew Bledsoe with a drinking problem.

I "marked out" when Rodney Harrison's team won

My dad and I, as Giants fans used to joke about him drinking again when he made a bad play. Made for some laughs. :lol:

Collins is a good QB who makes dumb mistakes. Expect 300-400yd games, 2-3 TD's and 1 or 2 int's or fumbles per game.

I think Sapp should show he's a man of his word and retire.

Also, after the game Lamont Jordan said "I don't know why everyones worried about the Patriots with loss of their OC/DC, that's the same Patriot team I went up against twice a year, there still just as good".

Ben Watson looks like he'll be a monster, he's like 6'6 and fast.

Next week should be a better test vs. a team with a good defense.

lol the raiders shitty defense smother Corey Dillon. CANT GET OVER THIS

Their rush D is not awful. They're pass D is probably the worst in the league though

Haven't posted it in this thread yet...

THE ARIZONA CARDINALS WILL WIN THE NFC WEST

I'm not sure what i think about this...


http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns

FUCK they all have the Jets making the playoffs. FUCKING jinxes

I GOT COLTS OVER EAGLES IN MADDEN

No shit.


There seem to be a league wide big expectations for the Colts. Hopefully we live up to it. One of our major tests come tommorow.

lol at Edge being MVP

The Arizona Cardinals are gonna win there division this year

TIME TO WATCH THE REDSKINS!

LOL anyone see Ramsey get owned

Champ's hurt... :'( :nono: :mad:

God, I have to either watch the boring Jax/Sea or Den/Mia game. Both are terrible at the moment.

Champ? Champ Bailey? FUCK, he's on my fantasy team. :(

:'(

like 6 fumbles by Pennington so far. :mad: Like his first time out of shotgun ever. :mad"

NFL need to do something like MLB.tv so I can watch gay highlights

Yeah :(

They said it's only a strained shoulder, so I guess that's good. Atleast he got you points from his pick before he got taken out though.

Goddamn, Denver is getting destroyed by the heat. Champ Bailey, Lenny Walls AND Darrent Williams are out, Walls and Williams from cramps. So now they've got rookies and a SAFETY playing corner

Go GO Jets run defense.:lol:

Awesome, Hasselbeck

Pennington got totally raped. 1 INT, 6 fumbles 2 lost.

Saints are about to win in Carolina. Crazy.

I thought Jason Taylor was dead after that fumble recovery. I have been to a few games in Miami in Sept. the heat is incredible in the stands let alone how bad it is on the field.

For all those who think the colts are going to the superbowl. I have said for several years that the colts will never win a superbowl with Peyton Manning.

yeah the only thing that will save my day is a Giants loss and a fantasy football win over MMM

LOL we're going to be the two lowest scoring teams in the league, but one of us will get the win :heart:

But could they win a superbowl with Peyton Manning?:roll:

I need a huge game from Reggie Wayne since Andre Johnson decided not to show up today.

Not with that inbreed either.

He must've been out somewhere with the entire Broncos team

Wow, we didn't get the game, but just wow. I guess losing right away is better then winning six, losing six, and sputtering in the playoffs at 500. Starting something new.

nice play Dansby

nice play Dansby

x2

Dansby, right place right time for the 2nd time.

I'm calling dibs for him on my fantasy team.

Bertrand Berry

fuck i picked the Cards in Survival I think. dont remember

Lol @ the Rams and all of my neighbors

gonzo is gunna be all "yeah Giants rule. gunna be 10-6". gunna laugh when they end up 5-11

I would jus tlike to say. Take that Jets.

Now I just hope SD lose's this game, then KC will be the only team with a win in the division :cool:

Two of my roommates are KC, two STL, and one MN. St. Louis fans are so gay, thats why it makes it even better for them to lose to the 49ers, it makes us not look so bad.

Rams have a chance to win.

Anyone see the hit on Fitzgerald just. Knocked his damn helmet off :cool:

LOL oh shit interception 49ers. Damn that's harsh.

49er won. i am out of survival league. fuck me

FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK, FUCK. FUUUUUUUUCK.

Week 1, as usual little makes sense.

Takes a few weeks for things to "shake out" and see who is for real and who isn't.

RP - as for the "yahoo experts" dunno, read the bio on a few of those guys, I question the term "expert". But yeah, everyone is picking the colts the pats, the eagles and the panthers. Seem to be the top 4, I've seen a few pick the Falcons also.

Dunno, I always like when people don't pick the Pats... (plus, helps the spread if I want to bet on them!) :)

Did the niners actually look good today? Or where the rams horrible? Im in greece so i cant watch the games or highlights, so can someone fill me in?

Dunno how they looked overall but the ony guy made a pretty smart move at the end getting the pick. It bounched off of someone else and he moved over and grabbed it.

im still tryin to recover from the fact that the 49ERS JUST BEAT THE RAMS. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HOW PATHETIC.

What the fuck happened there? I turn off the TV at halftime and the gay assGiants scored 21 points in like 6 minutes.

And the Giants cruise, just as I suspected. They are unstoppable.

Shockey is a beast.

Jets suck, Niners are cool, Bills are back, life is good.

<font color=goldenrod>Just got back from the Giants game about a half hour ago

Opening day = fucking incredible crowd

Next week gonna be a lot tougher, since the Saints are obviously > Cards...but I can't wait.....gotta love Coughlin, actually giving a shit about the special teams unlike Fassel....and look what happens</font> :cool:

Crazy ass opening day. Did HORRIBLE in the pick em league.

On a semi-related note, how fucking awful were the Packers today? Favre was like 22/50 or some shit like that. I'm ashamed to be a pack fan today. Also are those the Lions' new uniforms, or are they like an alternate one or something.
