Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 After 225 on the ground and 3 TDs 7 minutes into the 4th, sure.
snuffbox Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Their other back, old What's His Name, deserves an opportunity.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Good time to bench Adrian Peterson. Brad Childress likes the way you think!
cabbageboy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Here we go with picks for the games. STL @ NO: No way in hell are the Saints going to lose this, not the way they are playing. Saints by 17. BUF @ MIA: Call me crazy but I think Miami might get that first win here. It sounds like I'm trashing the Bills, but I can't see this team above .500. Dolphins by 3. JAC @ TEN: Is Gray or Garrard starting here? Either way I will take the Titans to win it by 6. CLE @ PIT: The Browns are a nice little story, but let's get real here. Steelers by 10. PHI @ WAS: The Eagles look flat out done, but the Redskins haven't been much better of late. I'll go with the Skins by 7. ATL @ CAR: Bleh. Panthers by 6. DEN @ KC: Chiefs are actually pretty decent at home and Denver is all kinds of bad this year. Without Elam they might be winless. Chiefs by 10. MIN @ GB: Vikings looked good stomping the Chargers, but going to Lambeau and winning? I can't see it, regardless of Peterson. Packers by 7. CIN @ BAL: Ravens utterly stunk up the joint on MNF, but they should give the Bengals a bit of payback here. The old men by 4. DET @ ARI: The Lions aren't as good on the road, so I will go with a mild upset here and say the Cardinals by 3. CHI @ OAK: The Bears need a win in the worst way and the Raiders still aren't any good. Bears by 4. DAL @ NYG: Cowboys got the better of the Giants in Dallas, but now it's time for the Giants to step it up. NYG by 3 in what should be a good one. IND @ SD: Chargers have given the Colts trouble in recent years but this is Norv Turner we're talking about here. Indy by 13. SF @ SEA: Whose idea was it to have this on MNF? Seattle by 10, the Niners are horrid.
King Kamala Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Seems like The MNF games get worse as the season goes on. We've got Pittsburgh/Miami to look forward to later in the season....
snuffbox Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 San Francisco was becoming an Espn darling down the '06 stretch.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Jacksonville and Tennessee; that's going to be a good one where someone gets hurt.
Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 New Orleans, Buffalo, Tennessee, Cleveland, Washington, Carolina, Kansas City, Minnesota, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis, Seattle I was wrong about San Francisco, and it hurts. I wanted them to wrest the West from the Seawhos.
King Kamala Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 I'll take; Saints by 20 Bills by 6 Titans by 3 Steelers by 14 Redskins by 6 Panthers by 10 Chiefs by 10 Packers by 6 Yuck...Ravens by 3 Cardinals by 6 Da Bears by 10 Cowboys by 3 Colts by 17 Seahawks by 6
Mike wanna be Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Panthers aren't winning if Carr starts; I swear we dodged a bullet having Houston come into the league and take the #1 pick so we could take Peppers #2. Carr seems to have no idea how to run an offense and cannot sense pressure coming, which explains why he gets sacked all the time and Steve Smith gets less than 20 yards receiving a game when he starts.
Guest Vitamin X Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Thankfully Green Bay's run defense is better than their pass defense for this week. I'm not looking forward to Purple Jesus, even if it is at Lambeau. The one big difference between San Diego's offense and Green Bay's, and I wouldn't have believed I'd be saying this at this point in the season, is that Green Bay has a much stronger passing offense right now to get ahead in points where Minnesota might be forced to abandon the run.. even if they have more of a chance for a homerun running play than a big pass play at the moment. It's almost as if the Lions and Vikings have switched spots in the past few years now. Cowboys-Giants should be a good test to see where New York really stands right now. Same thing with the Brownies playing at Pittsburgh. I bet Indy/San Diego and SF/Seattle looked like great primetime games in the preseason, but they'll really end up being blowouts. Shame.
JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Bears/Raiders I fully expect a Bears victory in Oakland. As for the the Raiders, I hope after this game, Lane Kiffin benches McCown (again!) and starts playing JaMarcus Russell. The season is a wash and its pointless not to play him after this game. The Raiders look a little better than last year, but again its the defense keeping the Silver and Black in games and the offense coming up lame again and again. As far as i'm concerned, Dante Culpepper's time as an NFL starter has sadly run out. Without his mobility, Culpepper has shown questionable descision making and has really shown that his mobilty was more than half of his game. Without it, Culpepper is a below average NFL quaterback. This team as a decent core (mostly defense) but without any decent veteran leadership (which is a Raider calling card) as well as an outdated offense, this team will be a bottom feeder for the forseable future. I really like Lane Kiffin, but its hard to put together a team when the owner still thinks its the 1970s. Its hard to be a Raider fan these days.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3097057 Shula thinks an asterisk should be put next to the record, if the Pats get it. It didn't really seem like he said that, but he kind of implied it. Pretty funny either way.

It didn't really seem like he said that, but he kind of implied it. Pretty funny either way. The Dolphins should get an asterisk for only playing 14 games.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 I agree with that. It also comes off as being kind of petty that he does this when they haven`t even broken it yet.
Ripper Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Did any of you read the article. The whole time he was talking about what a great team they were and he likes their chances of going undefeated but the whole spying thing gave people a chance to critisize something about it. Goddamn, you can't even complement the team anymore.
Guest Vitamin X Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Lost amongst all the talk about a perfect season is the fact that the Pats already broke the record for the longest winning streak in league history with 21 games in a row from 2003-2004 (ended by the Pittsburgh Steelers, no less). The 72-73 Dolphins are tied with 5 other franchises at 18 games in a row. New England really doesn't have anything to prove after this. If they go perfect, and smash through the postseason, I don't know what else they can say they've accomplished. Fuck, if I was Belichick or Brady, I'd be happy to retire with that intact.
cabbageboy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 The 49ers were kind of a phony 7-9 last year. I took a look and they had a differential of -114 on the season, which is really horrible. They won a bunch of games that were close, and got killed a bunch of other times. The Lions had the worst record in the NFC and even they had a better differential (-93).

Once you've been caught cheating, in the court of public opinion, you've probably gotten away with worse; and the burden of proof is on NE to show evidence that they've never cheated at any other point. And blowing out teams doesn't really prove that you're not cheating. This will stay with them, especially if they do go undefeated and rightfully so.

Let's see the Pats stay undefeated w/ Matt Cassell QB'ing 59% of their games.
Kinetic Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 The word asterisk needs to be banned from all discussion of pro sports. Not just that, but let's go ahead and ban the asterisk itself. Sadly, this would make rating pro wrestling matches all but impossible.
Zetterberg is God Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Buffalo really needs to win this week to continue their winning streak and gain confidence for the Sunday night matchup versus the Pats. I just have this sick feeling though that the Dolphins might win.
Kinetic Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 0-16 is definitely more probable. It's quite a bit more difficult to be consistently excellent than it is to be consistently awful.
