NFL 2007, Part One

[randhail]

I really enjoy that we get 16 more weeks worth of Philly fans being so cheerful.

Smug Patriots fans...and they wonder why I dislike their team so much?

I decided to start Roethlisberger on my fantasy team this week because I think he's going to put up big numbers against the Browns. I'll probably start Carson Palmer most weeks, but that seemed like too good of a match-up, especially since the Bengals open against the Ravens.

looks smart now!!
Great game by Big Ben!!!

Browns. Wow. They switched QB's in the fist half of the first fucking game of they year.

Can you saw Bill Cowher, your 2008 Browns head coach? Which, as a Steeler fan will break my heart, but it's gonna happen.

I'll vote a big N-O on that one happening....
Even the Brown's fans where I watch were yelling for Quinn...but we'll see him soon enough I'm sure.

I love the fact taht instead of the Bears vs. the Chargers, I get the action packed game between the Lions and the Raiders!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you beat me to it.


Is that offensive line that good? Or are the Jets just that bad with pass rush?

both...

and if randy moss is randy moss?

yea... the pats reeeeally might go undefeated this year.

the basic cable nfl deal is retarded.

the packers and eagles game is coming down to the wire, the feagles just had a moronic fumble on a punt to give green bay the ball... and they had to start the san diego/chicago game instead of letting us see the end, due to some stupid nfl rule, so i get to see rivers and sexy rexy have a competition over who can throw the most INTs.

good job, nfl

Lucky me I get the Bears (my favorite NFC team)....in my hometown...

Compare your number of championships over the past 24 years to ours and then ask yourself if a fan would be angry and bitter.

Andy Reid deserves a plaque from the Packers thanking him for that one.

Patriots fans are (mostly) Red Sox fans, so they ought to have at least a bit of compassion. Hence why I get so ticked off when they toss out smart-ass comments about Philadelphia fans.

 

[Screwtape2]

I'm having a 'what might have been' moment with this Bears and Chargers game. All I have to say is thank God that the Colts made the Super Bowl. It could have been Super Bowl 5 all over again.

 

[Got Philk?]

Can I start the chants of "Griese, Griese, Griese!"

I know that int wasn't his fault, but what about running around and then...ahem...dropping the ball? It's the same thing as last year. Perhaps we should not wait on this...


Is week one too early for this post?

perhaps they're also big santa claus fans, thus hold some long running bitterness towards the cheese steaks

Hey, I'll go ahead and put out that I think the Lions will win 6-7 games.

I watched a bit of the Lions game but was doing other things so I wasn't able to pay much attention. I'll have to watch a game tonight, see if I get into it much.

I guess you weren't, considering the game is barely into the 3rd quarter...

 

[No spoken words]

I'm still trying to figure out how much of the Steeler win was attributable to the Steelers playing well, and how much is attributable to the Browns being atrocious. I'm thinking 35% former, 65% latter. But, a win is a win, I'll take it, especially on the road.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yeah I was aware of that much.

 

[DaveC]

Just makin' sure. That's step one of "becoming a crazy football fan"

 

[DaveC]

Aaaaaaand Ladainian Tomlinson now has a higher QB rating than Rex Grossman.

 

[Hewson]

both...

Belichick won't let that happen. they'll need a late season stumble to be hungry going into thr tourney ala MNF in Miami 3 yrs ago.

 

[Got Philk?]

Ok, I'll stop the Grossman talk for a while. I shouldn't chime in until I can watch them play.

However, Benson and A. Peterson have fumbled. Can I ask a question? Why did we trade away our best running back? What was wrong with Jones?

And I think I will recant my 6-7 games won by the Lions...4-5 tops.

Oh I completely understand it, don't get me wrong about that. I made the comment based on how you guys are in midseason form already when it comes to being upset. I thought it was funny and didn't mean to come across as smug if that's how some took it.

 

[phillyfan26]

Don't worry about it. I'm very pissed. I can't even use sarcasm at the moment. I'll wait till tomorrow now.

Yeah I went and took a shower when it was 17-14, and now I come back and look at this. GO LIONS!

isn't all RG's fault today....we had the Chargettes stuffed, then GIVE them the ball....not smart....
as to why Jones is gone? cause Benson bugged management enough to be "the star"..and of course they are high on Peterson...but coulda beat the Dolts today...but didn't...

jones pretty much stunk today, if that's any consolation

 

[speedracer]

the pats may just go undefeated this year... there, i said it

Crap. I'm gonna go ahead and put money on the Chargers in Foxboro next week.

 

[randhail]

A lot of running backs stunk today - Stephen Jackson, Larry Johnson, Maroney didn't have a great game. There has to be some unhappy fantasy owners out there.
