Just John 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 The Sunday and Monday night games are real stinkers this week, but the day games look good. This is the week Cincy and Chicago can prove they are "for real" as they each face probably the best team in their respective conferences. I think Chicago loses, but I can see Cincy doing to Indy what they did to KC a couple years back. Steelers/Ravens games are always fun to watch too, at least if you like defense.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted November 15, 2005 Stinker? The Monday Night Football game will be an absolute battle. Sure, both teams aren't doing too well, but both of them are trying to lead miraculous comebacks into respectability, and it's probably one of the best (certainly the closest) rivalries in the league today. I could live with whatever happens this season as long as the Packers win their next three games (MIN, @PHI, and CHI). If anything, I was pretty damn happy at finally having a shot at Atlanta since the infamous home playoff game a couple years back and upsetting them in the Georgiadome, but if they can get to 3-6, especially with beating these three teams, that'd make me quite happy as the only competition outside of the NFC North they'll face will be Baltimore and Seattle (in Week 17).

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 And now it is....prediction time! Arizona at St. Louis: The Rams always seem to have a bit of trouble with the Cardinals, so I am not expecting a rout. Rams by 10 at most. Carolina at Chicago: Weather will be shitty, this will be a man's game, and I think the Bears pull of a sorta big upset. Detroit at Dallas: Cowboys will beat the piss out of Joey Harrington or whatever bum the Lions put out there. Jacksonville at Tennessee: Jag should win here fairly handily, but who knows with them. I'll say Jaguars by 7. Miami at Cleveland: Miami might be finished after coming so close and failing vs. NE. Cleveland by 3 in an ugly game. New Orleans at New England: Hey, the Pats finally found a jobber they can squash, so what will they do? Trail for 3 quarters and barely win by 4 as usual. Oakland at Washington: Skins need this one badly, Wash by 10. Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants: No McNabb and the Giants desperately need to rebound from the Vikings debacle, so they should win here but closer than people think. G-Men by 7. Pittsburgh at Baltimore: Not sure. If Roethisberger is back this should be cake...hell even with him out it could be. Steelers by 10. Tampa Bay at Atlanta: I know the Bucs give Vick a fit but the Falcons have to win this one after the Packers loss. Falcons by 3. Seattle at San Francisco: Seahawks are quietly doing very well and should continue to do so here...Seattle by 17. Buffalo at San Diego: Buffalo plays too ugly to be blown out and the D is pretty good. SD will win something like 24-10. Indianapolis at Cincinnati: This should be a great game and a chane for the Bengals to actually beat someone good. Will they? Of course not. Colts by 14, much like the Steelers in Cincy. N.Y. Jets at Denver: Broncos just keep drawing jobbers, and at home they'll keep squashing jobbers. Denver by 21. Kansas City at Houston: KC has to get this one, but closer than imagined. Chiefs by 10. Monday, Nov. 21 Minnesota at Green Bay: I think GB is somewhat back on track after the big win over Atlanta. Packers by 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Minnesota already did this. It's called Randall Cunningham. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And Jeff George. Funny enough, they've come around full circle since `98. Brad Johnson goes down, gives way to Randall Cunningham. Cunningham stunk it up in the `99 season, gives way to Jeff George. Jeff George goes out, in comes Daunte Culpepper. Culpepper gets injured, back comes Brad Johnson seven years later. All I remember of the Packers playing Brad Johnson was how the old NFC Central always worked. Green Bay would split every single series with every team except the Bears, who they usually swept, winning all their games at home, and Favre throwing numerous interceptions in the Silverdome and being distracted by noise in the Metrodome. That was back then when Detroit had Barry Sanders, too. I liked those old days, and the Battle of the Bays was always a fun game, too. Of course, now everything's upside-down.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Just wondering but why is Manning listed under the Ewing Theory? I mean hell if the Colts lost him they wouldn't even win a game. And yes, I know Tennessee won the title the next year but they had every insane, fluke bullshit piece of luck I've ever seen in order to do it. Where's Tee Martin now?

Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Just wondering but why is Manning listed under the Ewing Theory? Probably just for the Tennessee part. I don't know why they've included the Colts portion. Unless the Colts pull something like the 2001 Pats, or they win the SB after he leaves/retires, he's not really Ewing Theory material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ewing Theory is a sports theory created by David Cirilli and popularized, as well as expanded, by ESPN.com/Page 2 columnist Bill Simmons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Simmons popularized it, but I don't think he ever used Peyton as an example. Blame whoever wrote that portion on Wikipedia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Also, I should point out that the Knicks have only made the playoffs twice since the Ewing trade, and were put out in the first round both times. Before the Ewing trade, they had made 13 consecutive playoff appearences, including two finals trips, and only failed to get past the first round twice. Meaning the whole theory's namesake is complete shit to begin with, so I can understand why Simmons would back it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Slightly off topic but NFL Releated: Super Bowl to Kansas City between 2012 and 2021 if they build a dome over Arrowhead, with pic of the proposed dome. The NFL sure doesn't want much to put a Super Bowl in a City... I bet it would be cheaper to build a new stadium with a dome than to put a dome over an existing stadium..
