Lt. Al Giardello Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Posted October 1, 2006 How much weaker is the NFC than the AFC, though? I don't think we're gonna have another year like 2004 in which two .500 teams make the playoffs in the NFC. Besides, the AFC has the disappointing Dolphins and the ridiculously bad Browns/Raiders/Titans. I don't think it's as weak as it use to be.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Hey, looks like the Raiders might beat the Browns. So much for the impossible dream. Speaking of historically bad teams, wasn't it fairly recently that the Panthers lost 15 games in a row? 2001, 2002?
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The announcers sell Caldwell's hit like he was shot: "Medical tests being ran...", "Caldwell, if you can believe it, is back!"
Scroby Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Is it me or does the NFL have the weakest rules? You must allow the punt reciver a fair chance to catch the football? What kind of shit is that?
Guest Felonies! Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The announcers sell Caldwell's hit like he was shot: "Medical tests being ran...", "Caldwell, if you can believe it, is back!" I hope the officials aren't like this for the Bears game tonight. I want Brian Urlacher to kill someone.
Hawk 34 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 How did this guy get passed by 20+ teams in the draft before NE went "hey, lookie here"?
Brett Favre Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The ending to the Jet game almost game me a heart attack. Probably not, but my chest felt weird. Damn they were so close.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Who do you guys like in the Bears/Seahawks game?
Scroby Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The ending to the Jet game almost game me a heart attack. Probably not, but my chest felt weird. Damn they were so close. I didn't see the game, was it a close game?
Cartman Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Same way Wilfork fell to around the same place. Luck.
naiwf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 I wonder how insufferable the ESPN guys will be this week if the Pats end up winning this game by double digits which seems likely since the Bengals defense is being shredded right now. I like the under in the Bears/Seahawks game. I probably won't watch it because I don't like SEC football.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, Indy scores with 2 min.-ish left. Up 3. Jets return the kickoff 103 yard for a NY record, take the lead by 4. Patriots score a TD, woeful NY defense, with like 30 seconds left. Gramatica's kickoff pins the Jets at the 2 with 30ish seconds and 0 timeouts. Last play is the "50 laterals" attempts, 8 seconds left, Jets got it to the 20 and time ran out.
MrRant Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 I wonder how insufferable the ESPN guys will be this week if the Pats end up winning this game by double digits which seems likely since the Bengals defense is being shredded right now. You already know the answer. If a team is within 200 miles of Bristol (or in NY) they have no choice but to let it be known how good that team is to the rest of a country who would like to hear about their teams every now and then.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Re: Winless season If the Browns lose to the Raiders, they could go 0-16. They'll be the considerable underdog in every game this year up to Week 16 and Week 17, where they play the Buccaneers and Texans. They also play KC, tho. At home. But KC just crushed the 9ers so they seem to play well against crap.

MrRant Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Is there really a point to having blimps at the games?
Cartman Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 LOL OMG ESPN LUVS PATRIOTS LOLOLOLOL!!!!!~ NFL Countdown did nothing but rip the Pats gain for "letting good players go" so I dunno where you guys get this stuff.
naiwf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Pats 4 SB CHAMPS~!11!1 I wonder how quickly the Bengals bandwagon will empty. Re: ESPN -> The ESPN talking heads will do a quick 180 as they'll say Tom Brady got this team to jell because he's the greatest leader of our time, or that Belichick and his crew of geniuses finally came up with a way to replace Branch. Trust me, the slurpjob will be thorough this week.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 I didn't expect the Pats to win this game. They look pretty damn good.
Brett Favre Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The ending to the Jet game almost game me a heart attack. Probably not, but my chest felt weird. Damn they were so close. I didn't see the game, was it a close game? How the Jets moved downfield on their multi-lateral, multi-fumble final play against the Colts: 3rd-and-3, Jets 32: (Shotgun) Chad Pennington pass short middle to Leon Washington to Jets for 8 yards (tackle Freeney). Lateral to Brad Smith to Jets 37 for minus 3 yards. Lateral to Laveranues Coles to Colts 44 for 19 yards. Lateral to Pennington to Colts 37 for 7 yards. Lateral to Justin McCareins to Colts 35 for 2 yards. FUMBLE. Fumble recovered by Brad Smith at Colts 33, to Colts 37 for minus 4 yards. FUMBLE. Fumble recovered by Coles at Colts 40, to Colts 27 for 13 yards. Lateral to Nick Mangold to Colts 27, no gain. FUMBLE. Fumble recovered by Colts CB Jason David at Colts 34, to Colts 39 for 5 yards (tackle L.Washington). Coles was the MVP of the lateral frenzy.
randomguy Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The Pats secret weapon is their front office. They consistently draft good guys and get good free agents, etc. The Bengals screwed up by punting on the Pats 40. What a stupid play. 4th and 2. Best you can possibly hope for is +35 yards or so on a punt, and if it goes into the end zone you end up with a +20 yard punt. So they punt it away, Pats march down and score. Dumb. 4 and 2 on opponent's 40 you should nearly always go for it.
naiwf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Coles also got hurt because of said frenzy. If he's out for a while, Mangini will have had a really bad afternoon.
Brett Favre Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Coles is fine. And so is Houston for that matter. The Benglas suck, what the hell happened?
naiwf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 The Bengals are not looking like an elite team right now.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Man, the Bengals are getting killed. I suppose it helps when you get 15 free yards for a simple tackle. Oh well, time for Football Night In America!
