Can Roethisberger stay out of prison?

I think Big Ben will miss the first 4 games then take the Steelers to the Playoffs

Will any Bearz fanz show up this year?

I have a feeling Bort will put in an appearance.

Will Takeda survive w/o McNabb?

What the Eagles have Vick and Kolb now. I see the Eagles kicking alot of field goals

Can the Lions...no, next question

Lions will win 3 games this year.

[AVGWarhawk]

RAVENS :O:

[mookiemookie]

Lions will will 3 games this year.

I think their offense will surprise.

And their defense will make their offense a moot point. :O::O:

Along those lines, I forsee Philly's defense being on the field a whole lot, and that is never good.

Hold on......San Diego has a football team?

Oh yeah. In fact, they even had Drew Brees as their quarterback for awhile. But then they decided Phillip Rivers was better and let Brees go. This is the same Rivers they traded Eli Manning away for. That's two eventual Super Bowl winning QB's they had but let go. Hiring the mentally handicapped is a nice thing to do, but this shows why you should never put them in positions of authority. :har:

But I shouldn't be too hard on S.D. After all, as a Saints fan, we came out real good on that Brees deal. :D

The drama queen begins the dismantling of the Vikings.

Really, it's going to be fun to see Brad wreck another SB run with a wild pass. That's if he survives to the postseason--every team will be taking the Saints lead and putting everything on knocking him out. Can't say I feel sorry for the guy, he brought this on himself.

Oh, and go Ray-duhs!

And now McNabb has rolled his ankle. His status is unknown. Really, I'm just glad that Washington can start to share the pain that I have known for the last 5 seasons.

[AVGWarhawk]

The Ravens look great on Saturday night. If the Ravens can hold that kind of on field play things will look great this season.

Harbaugh was probably Philly's best coach during the mid-decade glory years. It does not suprise me that Baltimore does indeed look very sharp.

[RickC Sniper]

The Ravens can pound the ball, and now they have a good wr group for Flacco to throw to. I can't remember when they last had such a balanced offense. And Flacco is very underrated.

I like their prospects.

During the Saints pre-season game last night, the broadcast team made their picks for the Super Bowl. One of them was very high on the Ravens, and thought they would make it.

Of course all 3 said in the NFC it would be the Saints. :D

I would just use Brett on third down and long calling a draw play or a bread and butter pass over the middle knowing that it would be completely open with the expected pass rush.

Wham! First down ... go sit down Brett

Go Chargers ... :yeah:

Oakland Raiders

http://o.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/17989/Oakland-Raiders_jpg_600x1000_q85.jpg

Strength: Just nice to see them outside getting some fresh air
Weakness: As a team, every single player on this roster ****ing sucks
Player To Watch: Quarterback Jason Campbell is an experienced loser and is not going to mope around and act all depressed when team loses eight or nine straight games
Biggest Question: If Tom Cable isn't fired during or after the season, will Al Davis get rid of him by drowning him in the Gatorade container?

[nikimcbee]

OMG RDP made the news!:o:hmmm:

[fred8615]

Intangibles: City loves the team and all, but would gladly sacrifice every Saints win for functional houses and an oil-free Gulf

I think they're really stretching on that one. :D

[Takeda Shingen]

Lots of talk about Roethisberger and what a loss it is for the first four weeks for Pittsburgh. I think he's a sloppy player who's success is in large part due to the fact that he has spent his entire career surrounded by A-list talent. Put him in a perpetually mediocre enviroment like Carolina, Washington or the NY Jets and that would be very evident.

Always been a Chief's fan, as it's my home team. I've always been right behind them, and this year I'm hoping for a change. A winning season for one, and a playoff appearance and hopefully the Bowl!

So far, despite the rain, Chief's are owning up on the Chargers.

GO CHIEFS!

Arrowhead - One of the oldest, yet loudest stadiums in the US :yeah:

All I saw in Arrowhead stadium was 65,000 screaming drunks drinking beer from glass bottles.

No wonder poor Rivers passing throws were off the mark ...

He was afraid of being hit by a beer bottle :salute:

For those who doubt the Machiavellian nature of Belichick:

The Patriots will sign former Jets WR/RB Danny Woodhead, I’m told by a league source.
...
But way more interesting is that Woodhead was cut last week by the Jets to make room for David Clowney. It’s safe to say he knows everything the Jets are doing. Think he may mention it to the Patriots coaches?

nicki has him on his fantasy team. I have Moss on mine. I was trying to capitalize on his excitement.

[AVGWarhawk]

Now I see Mookie. Boldin is great for your team. He is already a fan favorite here in Baltimore. Me and my youngest daughter went to the home opener. We got to watched Boldin catch the three touchdowns of the day. We sit at that end zone. Last week he was double teamed at the Steelers and not very productive. Of course that is what the Steelers where hoping for. So yeah, he can really make or break your fantasy team.

Meh. Favre's lost nearly all significance to football and has been little more than a curiosity since 2008. I do suppose it is different if you are a fan of the NFC North, and certainly Green Bay, but most NFL fans around the country could care less about Brett, his decisions and his problems. Talk about sabotage to one's own legacy.

He was a great one, but that image has long faded. More drama this week with him talking about taking himself out of the lineup because of the tendinitis in his elbow, like that is going to happen.

Brett Favre is a lot like Luciano Pavarotti. In football and opera, each was the best in the business in their day. Each of them were also their own biggest fans. Like Pavarotti, who when no longer having the stamina to perform for three hours recorded countless crappy duet albums in an effort to cling to the spotlight, Favre now bounces from team to team in an effort to cling to the highlight reel.

I agree that there is zero chance of him sitting out. Brett Favre is incapable of benching Brett Favre, especially when he should.

Laying that on Brett Farve is like blaming someone who was slipped a Mickey Finn for becoming inebriated. Who in their right mind would turn down an offer of several million dollars to play the game they love?

Admittedly I have not been following the Favre saga as closely as others have, but I was under the impression that he came out of retirement each time before there were any offers. If that were the case, I'd say that it was not about money. If it were not the case, I would say that you were right.

Maybe the Cheeseheads here would know. Not that it matters; both you and I know that all of the real football takes place east of Ohio. :D

I don't think it's so much the money, though that certainly has to be a major factor, but rather the fact that teams still want him to play for them. As long as teams want his services there is no real reason, at least that I can see, for him to walk away from the game.

[August]

If he would just come back and play that would be one thing, but the ridiculous drama that follows him is pathetic :yep:

But that drama is both created and kept going by others. Take this year for example. When asked if he'd play he replied that it depended on whether he would be healthy enough. Instantly the media begins the "is he in or is he out" game to generate controversy.

Bottom line is he'll play for as long as teams are willing to pay him to play.

It goes both ways as far as the drama.

The media makes the mistake and takes the bait. That is what he wants them to do because he likes the attention. He can't help himself, take for example the tendinitis thing this week. Why does he even bother saying this when we all know he would never take himself out of the game. He is a drama queen :yep:

Favre made this team sport about the individual (himself). And now look at him. The hero is the pariah justifiably so.

Ultimately, long after Favre is but a tainted memory the Packers are likely to be playing competitve football, largely due to the installment of his very talented successor, Aaron Rodgers. Any sour grapes here is more along the lines that the legacy of Brett Favre is far more complimentary than the person, and that's just too damned sad.

I think that Dallas will upend Minnesota, and that Washington will not be able to keep pace with Indy. I also think that although Pittsburgh will win over Cleveland, the game will be surprisingly close.

Heh, just watch late night talk shows like Leno and national news broadcasts. Vikings fans are sick of him. People see him as sleezy and somewhat lazy, what with his holding out on his "retirement" announcements in order to avoid training camp. He's hardly considered a team guy.

I'm not just flying off the handle here assuming that my world is the whole world when it comes to Favre. A couple of friends I have in Minnesota think that if they lose this Sunday against Dallas, that'll be when Favre's tendonitis injury becomes "too much" for him to continue playing, and the looming threat of a suspension possibly ending his starting streak may move him in that direction.

Besides, plenty of teams pay good money for pariahs (like Vick, Owens, etc.) Barry Bonds comes to mind. :O:

Don't get me wrong, though - I still like what Favre did for the Packers and football. I even have framed posters of the guy hanging in my "man cave". I just think the guy has tarnished his legacy beyond repair at this point.

Wild game August! I would say though that the Pats could have had it in the bag by the end of the first half. Brady did not seem with it. Low passes one to many that I counted. After the half he came out and played like a super bowl QB should. We had plenty of opportunies to score but didn't. Although Flacco is very calm and reserved I think we see some over excitment today in OT. Overall though one of the most wildest games I have watched in a long time. :up:

I'm going to call it for Dallas as no team with that much offensive talent can stay in the gutter for long. Again a great matchup, will Dallas be held for another loss?

Again a great matchup, will Dallas be held for another loss?Heh, I loved hearing them whine about that TD that was overturned, but completely ignore that they got 15 yards that drive by a CLEARLY bad late hit call. (Even though that, despite what the commentators claimed, they ref was actually right to overturn the touchdown.)

But as you said it was a helluva game!

[Freiwillige]

Yea I can admit that was a bad late hit call. I mean I love my Vikings but i'm not a blind fan boy and that late hit call was B.S.

But that touchdown was exactly that as he clearly had control to the ground.
As where the Packers did not, But that's chilly's fault for not challenging it.

My GF is from Greenbay so I'm a closet cheese head in that I do root for em when they aren't playing my Vikes! Now one thing that did kind of get to me is Favre getting booed after the game. I can understand when he came on the field but after the game was a little tasteless in my opinion giving the struggle he gave it was a great effort but a redeemer was the way the Greenbay team treated him after the game. Respectful since it was his last time in Lambo Field most likely. Favre has two fractures in his ankle so he may not be back in the next game against the Patriots. The guy is an Iron Man! I think Packers fans have a great successor in Roger's though.

Now onto tonight's match up. The Cowboy's looked alive coming into this one only to have Romo taken out with a broken clavicle in the second. From that moment forward I knew that the Cowboy's were going to be 1-5.

They had a good Rally in the fourth but the odds were heavily stacked and some creative plays got them closer but it was too far gone, abandon ship women and children first!

They are saying that 6-8 weeks best scenario for Romo's return which equals Cowboy's 2011 season R.I.P. Not that it isnt dead already it just needed to be buried. A shame for a team that has so much talent I think this will be the season known as the What the hell??????? Because their standing's and there playing dont make sense as if 2+2=7 It doesn't add up.

It's impossible to know what the result would have been change any variable of the game, so it's hard to attribute a win or loss to bad refing.

You must mean "whining", because God knows they're not winning. :haha:

Childress gets fined 35k for bad mouthing NFL officials.

Finally Chilly does something right. Let it be known loud and proud that the Vikings beat the Packers! Seriously The Steelers and Dolphins game and THe Vikings and Greenbay game both had the outcome changed by bad play call's. Its getting out of hand!

Human error has always been a part of the game. Yes it does suck when you are on the opposing end of it. All teams at some point in time get burned by this, but there are also moments when they benefit from it.

In the end it all balances out. Anyway in it was Favray's continued ambition to gun-sling that cost them the game.

[Freiwillige]

Yea I remember that game. Being from and in Arizona I and my girl where the only pro Greenbay fans in the room which was full of rabid Cardinal's fan's.

Cardinal's fans are a glutton for punishment aren't they? :O:

I will say that I liked and respected Kurt Warner but that was it. I hate the Az Cardinals.

I think that this is a major reason that everybody outside of Dallas hates the Cowboys. The oddsmakers and the media treat them like the Notre Dame of pro football. Personally, I'm taking a great deal of satisfaction from their painful season.

You may be right Tak. IMO they have been getting the kid glove treatment for years.

[Onkel Neal]

Rrrrray-duhs!! :haha:

I don't know Neal, I'm thinking that Houston might take Indy tomorrow night. Or, at least I hope so for the sake of my fantasy team.

[TarJak]

Rrrrray-duhs!! :haha:
Oh yeah! :woot:Were they good or were the Seagulls that bad?:haha: If Texans win then Neal's ranch is gonna explode with excitement.

Ravens on a bye week. How depressing....... HOWEVER...I did get my shed cleaned up and in order. It is amazing what you can do in a Sunday afternoon!


For all of you who's team won yesterday......:yeah:

Cowboys.....WTH? :o
Jets lose......:up: GB, nice job fellas. Jets are tough. Tough game!
Steelers lose............:up::up::up::up: Made my day! :smug: NO Saints...I love when they come marching in!!! :yeah:
Pats won.....:down: Sorry August. Next to the Steelers the Pats are second in the most hated line. :O: Thats ok. I still like you anyway. Like my coworker who is a Pats fan.
Denver......:o Enough said.
Detroit.....did they finally wake up and find that they were in the football season? :hmmm:
Raiders....did Seattle show up to play? Neal, I'm guessing your back in the Raider's camp? :hmmm:

Remember....GO RAVENS :D

[August]

Pats won.....:down: Sorry August. Next to the Steelers the Pats are second in the most hated line. :O: Thats ok. I still like you anyway. Like my coworker who is a Pats fan.

True Fakt - Enemy team fan hatred is what keeps us warm on those chilly fall New England nights! :DL

Moss let go by Vikings? Anyone know what's up?

[Takeda Shingen]

Maybe Cincinnati can pick him up. They could have a full (nut) house at WR with TO, Ochocinco and now Moss. You know that their locker room has got to be a friggin' circus already, why not go for broke?

[RickC Sniper]

Childress has told his team at a team meeting that Moss is gone because of his rant at a press conferance and the way he played in the NE game. Some are suggesting that he did this without informing the front office.

Team members have been suggesting that Childress has "lost" the locker room.

Tomorrow Farve will probably officially retire mid-season.
:ping:

That is a possibility. Even the Pats could theoretically but being First Place In the NFL they're 32nd in line so I understand.

Really? The plot thickens!

Pretty soon Farve will have been officially retiring longer than he was just playing for the NFL. :DL

[Freiwillige]

The plot re-re thickens? Vikings front office is scattering to undo what Childress did with Moss. Could Moss stay and Childress get the pink slip? God I can only hope!:D

Randy said that he would stay with the Viking's only if Childress goes. Oh the Soap opera continues!:up:

I vote keep Randy and bye bye Childress.

[RickC Sniper]

I somewhat agree. If Childress just dumps Moss after a couple of games he completely wasted the 3rd round draft pick they gave up to acquire him.

No small thing squandering your future away like that.

[nikimcbee]

I think somebody's head needs to roll. I'm surprized they picked him up in the first place, after all of the problems they had they last time.

On a side note, if favray had his leg aputated, would he start that Sunday?:yawn:

ah-ha! Neal's Fav QB...

I predict...Russell to the Texans.

I knew Neal had connections, but this is just crazy!

It all makes sense now....Neal's had him staying at the Subsim ranch, running him through passing drills. It explains him being here in Houston, and Neal's flip flopping on his team loyalties.

Neal, you tricky devil, you!

Moss goes to the Titans.

[Takeda Shingen]

Moss goes to the Titans.

Whew. I was afraid he was going to St. Louis, which would have been really bad for Danny Amendola's fantasy stock. I feel like I dodged a bullet there.

[August]

Whew. I was afraid he was going to St. Louis, which would have been really bad for Danny Amendola's fantasy stock. I feel like I dodged a bullet there.

Yeah they mentioned that in the article:

Because he's viewed as a short-term rental, not a long-term investment, Moss was bypassed by teams with first dibs on him. The belief: There's no upside in bringing Moss to a rebuilding project. (This could explain why the St. Louis Rams, a team considered to be favored to land Moss, passed on him. Why ruin everything Steve Spagnuolo has spent the past two years building?)

[Freiwillige]

I got a good story for ya. Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock and screamed fire Brad Childress! Get rid of this ego maniac of a control freak!!!

I mean his stupidity on play calling, His lack of ability to challange anything and now trading a third round draft pick to a guy that increased your average 7 points a game than cutting him cause he rubbed you the wrong way. Childress time to go!!!!

Moss had every right in my opinion to act like an ass when all week he had said hey guys I know how they are gonna play and I know what they are going to do this game is a win and childress ignored him. That's why he heaped so much praise on bellacheck because he knows that unlike Childress he would listen and plan accordingly in that situation.

Im so frustrated just give Childress the pink slip already, hell hire a Highschool coach we couldn't do any worse!!!!

Im about to the point where I am rooting against my Vikings so that idiot will get fired.

Great team, poor leadership:nope:

[August]

Moss had every right in my opinion to act like an ass

All that other stuff may be but I don't think that justifies acting like a jerk toward the caterers...

[Freiwillige]

Great, Now childress is arguing with Percy Harvin too!

http://www.dailynorseman.com/2010/11/5/1797154/great-now-brad-childress-is-arguing-with-percy-harvin-too

It is also know that the reason Moss was delayed on on his initial release is that Wylf was looking into releasing childress instead. In the end he let the wrong guy go.

But all is not lost as Wylf has been meeting with crucial team members and other coaches on the topic of Childress. The end is near yet not near enough.:nope:

[mookiemookie]

If they lose tomorrow, you can bet he's gone. They're just looking for an excuse at this point.

[Freiwillige]

It is also now out that after the Patriots game last weekend Moss went up to see Wilf and told him point blank to fire Childress, he's a terrible coach.

Which in turn goes a bit to explain Moss's sudden let go.

Unfortunately the damage is done with Moss, But its never to late to Fire Childress!!!:up:

[nikimcbee]

Time to lower the life rafts on football season:lost:

Instead of watching football yesterday, I watched college hockey (Go gophers!) and a Rambo movie marathon on spike tv.:doh:

[nikimcbee]

If they lose tomorrow, you can bet he's gone. They're just looking for an excuse at this point.

Time to send him packing.


Off to hockey season.:yeah:

[AVGWarhawk]

Ravens! :D

[Takeda Shingen]

Woah....Cleveland.

[nikimcbee]

Nevermind! The wiley Mizzazzippi swamp fox strikes again!:salute:

The headline " Childress stays off the unemplyement line."

[Freiwillige]

Skoll Vikings! Woo Hoo Favre came alive!!! Percy Harvin was an animal and Adrian Peterson was a Machine. In the fourth that is.

Favre show's what he's got and completes a 444 yard game a good chunk of it in the final two drives to eliminate a 14 point deficit to put the game into OT and on to a Vikings win!

And Childress started to let Favre make the calls on field and when that heppend the Vikings exploded! Fire Childress!!!

[RickC Sniper]

Woah....Cleveland.

:yep: Hillis is scarey.

[August]

Woah....Cleveland.

Looks like beating the defending super bowl champs was no fluke.

[Takeda Shingen]

Looks like beating the defending super bowl champs was no fluke.

To be honest, I find the win over the Pats to be much more impressive. Truthfully, I don't think that New Orleans looks all that good this year. I know that wins are wins, but considering both NO and NE, I think NE the better team.

[mookiemookie]

:yep: Hillis is scarey.

He is. He's going to get hurt running the way he does.

[Chad]

And in the AFC West, Chiefs have a heartbreaker :nope:

[Onkel Neal]

I still love the Texans, but...

How 'bout dem Cowboys.

Man what happened at Greenbay? Did the Cowboy's even show up??? My second favorite team just got de-pants ed for a 1-7 record. Where do we go from here??? Man it was just ugly from the get go. And I feel their coach is gone, which is sad cause he's not a bad coach with 7 good seasons. I dunno what to say?

Vikings are on life support

Cowboys are just dead, and tonight they got buried!

At least I know the Raiders aren't going to the playoffs. Mark my words!!!

So...if the Raiders make the play-offs, is it an "emergency subsim meeting BBQ party" @ Neal's house?

[Gargamel]

I love my browns!

LOL @ August sig!

(Hey, us Clevelander's dont get to point and laugh often, lemme have my giggles)
